NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION

References in these Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to the “Company” or “Dell Technologies” mean Dell Technologies Inc. individually and together with its consolidated subsidiaries.

Basis of Presentation — The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to fairly state the financial position of Dell Technologies Inc. as of ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020 and January 31, 2020, ~~and~~ the results of its operations and corresponding comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended October 30, 2020 and November 1, 2019, and its cash flows for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020 and ~~May 3,~~November 1, 2019.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes. Management has considered the potential economic implications of the outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic on the Company’s critical and significant accounting estimates. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended October 30, 2020 and November 1, 2019 and the cash flows for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020 and ~~May 3,~~November 1, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or for any other fiscal period.

The Company’s fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Friday nearest January 31. The fiscal year ended January 31, 2020 (“Fiscal 2020”) was a 52-week period, and the fiscal year ending January 29, 2021 (“Fiscal 2021”) will be a 52-week period.

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

Unless the context indicates otherwise, references in these Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to “VMware” mean the VMware reportable segment, which reflects the operations of VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW) within Dell Technologies.

Revenue Reclassification — For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020, Dell Technologies made certain reclassifications of net revenue between the products and services categories on the Consolidated ~~Statement~~Statements of ~~Net~~ Income (Loss), which impacted previously reported amounts for the three and nine months ended ~~May 3,~~November 1, 2019. The reclassifications were made to provide a more meaningful representation of the nature of certain service and software-as-a-service offerings of VMware, Inc. Prior period results were recast to conform with these changes, and resulted in an increase to services revenue and an equal and offsetting decrease to product revenue of ~~$179~~$210 million and $584 million for the three and nine months ended ~~May 3, 2019.~~November 1, 2019, respectively. Total net revenue as previously reported remains unchanged. The Company did not recast cost of goods sold for the related revenue reclassifications due to immateriality.

RSA Security Divestiture — On February 18, 2020, Dell Technologies announced its entry into a definitive agreement with a consortium led by Symphony Technology Group, Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan Board and AlpInvest Partners to sell RSA ~~Security~~Security. On September 1, 2020, the parties closed the transaction. At the completion of the sale, the Company received total cash consideration of approximately $2.082 billion, resulting in ~~an all-cash transaction~~a pre-tax gain on sale of $338 million. The Company ultimately recorded a $21 million loss, net of $359 million in tax expense due to the relatively low tax basis for ~~approximately $2.075 billion, subject to certain closing adjustments.~~the assets sold, particularly goodwill. The transaction ~~which includes~~included the ~~purchase~~sale of RSA Archer, RSA NetWitness Platform, RSA SecurID, RSA Fraud and Risk Intelligence, and RSA Conference ~~is expected to close in the third quarter of Fiscal 2021~~ and ~~is subject to customary conditions. The transaction is~~was intended to further simplify Dell Technologies’ product portfolio and corporate structure. ~~The transaction is not expected~~Prior to ~~have a material impact on~~ the ~~Company’s~~divestiture, RSA Security’s operating results ~~or financial position.~~were included within Other businesses and did not qualify for presentation as a discontinued operation.

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company concluded that RSA Security’s long-lived assets have met the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale as of May 1, 2020. The Company reclassified the related assets and liabilities as “Current assets held for sale” and “Current liabilities held for sale” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as of May 1, 2020 as the sale is expected to close within the next twelve months.

RSA Security does not meet the criteria for discontinued operations reporting, and as a result its operating results and cash flows are not separately stated as a discontinued operation in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. RSA Security does not meet the requirements for a reportable segment and, consequently, its operating results are included within Other businesses.

VMware, Inc. Acquisition of Pivotal — On December 30, 2019, VMware, Inc. completed its acquisition of Pivotal Software, Inc. (“Pivotal”) from the Company by merger (the “Pivotal acquisition”), with Pivotal surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of VMware, Inc. Each outstanding share of Pivotal’s Class A common stock (other than shares held by Pivotal stockholders who properly exercised their appraisal rights under Delaware law) was converted into the right to receive $15.00 in cash, without interest, and each outstanding share of Pivotal’s Class B common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.0550 of a share of Class B common stock of VMware, Inc. Dell Technologies, which held all outstanding shares of Pivotal’s Class B common stock, received approximately 7.2 million shares of Class B common stock of VMware, Inc. in the transaction. As of the transaction date, Pivotal’s Class A common stock (NYSE: PVTL) ceased to be listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Due to the Company’s ownership of a controlling interest in Pivotal, the Company and VMware, Inc. accounted for the acquisition of the controlling interest in Pivotal as a transaction between entities under common control, and, consequently, the transaction had no net effect to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Subsequent to the Pivotal acquisition, Pivotal operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of VMware, Inc. and Dell Technologies reports Pivotal results within the VMware reportable segment. Prior to the Pivotal acquisition, Pivotal results were reported within Other businesses. This change in Pivotal segment classification was reflected retrospectively and is presented in Note 17 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Class V Transaction — On December 28, 2018, the Company completed a transaction (the “Class V transaction”) in which it paid $14.0 billion in cash and issued 149,387,617 shares of its Class C Common Stock to holders of its Class V Common Stock in exchange for all outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock. The non-cash consideration portion of the Class V transaction totaled $6.9 billion. As a result of the Class V transaction, the tracking stock feature of the Company’s capital structure associated with the Class V Common Stock was terminated. The Class C Common Stock is traded on the NYSE.

The merger pursuant to which the Class V transaction was effected and the Class V transaction have been accounted for as a hybrid liability and equity transaction involving the repurchase of outstanding common stock, with the consideration consisting of a variable combination of cash and shares. Upon settlement, the accounting for the Class V transaction reflected that the outstanding Class V Common Stock was canceled and exchanged for shares of Class C Common Stock at $120.00 per share in cash or combination of cash and shares, depending on each holder’s election and subject to proration of the cash elections.

EMC Merger Transaction — On September 7, 2016, the Company completed its acquisition of EMC Corporation (“EMC”) by merger (the “EMC merger transaction”). The consolidated results of EMC are included in Dell Technologies’ consolidated results presented in these financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity —In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance to simplify the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock, and the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity's own equity. In addition, the guidance on calculating diluted earnings per share has been simplified and made more internally consistent. Public entities must adopt the new guidance for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company will early adopt this guidance for the fiscal year beginning January 30, 2021 on a modified retrospective basis. Adoption of the new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial results.

Simplifying Accounting for Income Taxes — In December 2019, the ~~Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)~~FASB issued guidance to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740, Income Taxes, and by clarifying and amending existing guidance in order to improve consistent application of GAAP for other areas of Topic 740. Public entities must adopt the new guidance for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company will adopt this guidance for the fiscal year beginning January 30, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ~~and timing~~ of adoption of this guidance.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

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 (the “current expected credit losses ~~model,”~~model” or “CECL model”) that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. Under the CECL model, the allowance for losses on financial assets, measured at amortized cost, reflects management’s estimate of credit losses over the remaining expected life of such assets.

The Company adopted the standard (the “new CECL standard”) as of February 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective method, with the cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of stockholders’ equity (deficit) as of the adoption date. The cumulative effect of adopting the new CECL standard resulted in an increase of $111 million and $27 million to the allowance for expected credit losses within financing receivables, net and accounts receivable, net, respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, and a corresponding decrease of $28 million to other non-current liabilities related to deferred taxes and $110 million to stockholders’ equity (deficit) as of February 1, 2020. See Note 2, Note 4, and Note 18 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the Company’s allowance for financing receivables losses and allowance for expected credit losses of accounts ~~receivable, respectively.~~receivable.

Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software — In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance on a customer’s accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud-computing arrangement when hosted by a vendor. The guidance provides that, in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract, certain implementation costs should be capitalized and amortized over the term of the arrangement. The Company adopted the standard (the “new cloud computing standard”) during the three months ended May 1, 2020 using the prospective method. The impact of the adoption of this standard was immaterial to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 2 — INTERIM UPDATE TO SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

As discussed in Note 1 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company adopted the new CECL standard as of February 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective method. The new impairment methodology for measurement of credit losses on financial instruments reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. Additionally, the Company adopted the new cloud computing standard during the three months ended May 1, 2020 using the prospective method. In a cloud-computing hosting arrangement hosted by a vendor that is a service contract, certain implementation costs should be capitalized and amortized over the term of the arrangement. The following accounting policies have been updated as part of the adoption of the new standards.

Allowance for Expected Credit Losses — The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on accounts receivable in an amount equal to the current expected credit losses. The estimation of the allowance is based on an analysis of historical loss experience, current receivables aging, and management’s assessment of current conditions and reasonable and supportable expectation of future conditions, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible. The Company assesses collectibility by pooling receivables where similar characteristics exist and evaluates receivables individually when specific customer balances no longer share those risk characteristics and are considered at risk or uncollectible. The expense associated with the allowance for expected credit losses is recognized in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Allowance for Financing Receivables Losses — The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on financing receivables in an amount equal to the probable losses net of recoveries. The allowance for losses is determined based on various factors, including lifetime expected losses determined using macroeconomic forecast assumptions and management judgments applicable to and through the expected life of the portfolios as well as past due receivables, receivable type, and customer risk profile. Both fixed and revolving receivable loss rates are affected by macroeconomic conditions, including the level of gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth, the level of commercial capital equipment investment, unemployment rates, and the credit quality of the borrower.

Customer account principal and interest are charged to the allowance for losses when an account is deemed to be uncollectible or generally when the account is 180 days delinquent. While the Company does not generally place financing receivables on non-accrual status during the delinquency period, accrued interest is included in the allowance for loss calculation and, therefore, the Company is adequately reserved in the event of charge off. Recoveries on receivables previously charged off as uncollectible are recorded to the allowance for financing receivables losses. The expense associated with the allowance for financing receivables losses is recognized as cost of net revenue.

Capitalized Software Development Costs — The Company capitalizes certain internal and external costs to acquire or create internal use software which are incurred subsequent to the completion of the preliminary project stage. Development costs are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over five years. Costs associated with maintenance and minor enhancements to the features and functionality of the Company’s website are expensed as incurred.

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

Money Market Funds — The Company’s ~~investment~~investments 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 1,~~October 30, 2020, the Company’s U.S. portfolio had no material exposure to money market funds with a fluctuating net asset value.

Equity and Other Securities — The majority of the Company’s investments in equity and other securities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of strategic investments in publicly-traded companies. The valuation of these securities is based on quoted prices in active markets.

Derivative Instruments — The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist primarily of foreign currency forward and purchased option contracts and interest rate swaps. The fair value of the portfolio is determined using valuation models based on market observable inputs, including interest rate curves, forward and spot prices for currencies, and implied volatilities. Credit risk is also factored into the fair value calculation of the Company’s derivative instrument portfolio. See Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the Company’s derivative financial instrument activities.

Deferred Compensation Plans — The Company offers deferred compensation plans for eligible employees, which allow participants to defer payment for a portion of their compensation. Assets were the same as liabilities associated with the plans at approximately ~~$231~~$277 million and $241 million as of ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020 and January 31, 2020, respectively, and are included in other assets and other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The net impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) is not material since changes in the fair value of the assets substantially offset changes in the fair value of the liabilities. As such, assets and liabilities associated with these plans have not been included in the recurring fair value table above.

(unaudited)

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

As of ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020 and January 31, 2020, the Company held private strategic investments of ~~$971~~$936 million and $852 million, respectively. As these investments represent early-stage companies without readily determinable fair values, they are not included in the recurring fair value table above.

The Company has elected to apply the measurement alternative for these investments. Under the alternative, the Company measures investments without readily determinable fair values at cost, less 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 investment qualifies for the 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 events on its fully diluted ownership percentages, as well as other available information regarding the issuer’s historical and forecasted performance.

Carrying Value and Estimated Fair Value of Outstanding Debt — The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s outstanding debt as described in Note 6 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the current portion, as of the dates indicated:

The remainder of equity and other securities consists of publicly-traded investments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

In September 2020, 1 of the Company’s strategic investments, which previously did not have a readily determinable fair value, completed its initial public offering which resulted in it having a readily determinable fair value and in the recognition of an unrealized gain of $465 million for the three and nine months ended October 30, 2020, which is reflected in the table above. The unrealized gain is reflected in Other, net as a non-cash adjustment within cash flows from operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As of October 30, 2020, the carrying value of this investment was $543 million.

Fixed income debt securities — The Company has fixed income debt securities carried at amortized cost. The debt securities are held as collateral for borrowings. The Company intends to hold the investments to maturity. Unrealized gains relate to foreign currency impacts.

NOTE 4 — FINANCIAL SERVICES

The Company offers or arranges various financing options, services, and alternative payment structures for its customers in North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand through Dell Financial Services and its affiliates (“DFS”). The Company also arranges financing for some of its customers in various countries where DFS does not currently operate as a captive enterprise. The key activities of DFS include originating, collecting, and servicing customer financing arrangements primarily related to the purchase or use of Dell Technologies products and services. In some cases, DFS also offers financing on the purchase of third-party technology products that complement the Dell Technologies portfolio of products and services. New financing originations were ~~$1.8~~$2.1 billion and ~~$1.7~~$2.0 billion for the three months ended ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020 and ~~May 3,~~November 1, 2019, respectively, and $6.5 billion and $5.7 billion for the nine months ended October 30, 2020 and November 1, 2019, respectively.

The Company’s loan and lease arrangements with customers are aggregated into the following categories:

Revolving loans — Revolving loans offered under private label credit financing programs provide qualified customers with a revolving credit line for the purchase of products and services offered by Dell Technologies. These private label credit financing programs are referred to as Dell Preferred Account (“DPA”) and Dell Business Credit (“DBC”). The DPA product is primarily offered to individual consumer customers, and the DBC product is primarily offered to small and medium-sized commercial customers. Revolving loans in the United States bear interest at a variable annual percentage rate that is tied to the prime rate. Based on historical payment patterns, revolving loan transactions are typically repaid within twelve months on average. Due to the short-term nature of the revolving loan portfolio, the carrying value of the portfolio approximates fair value.

Fixed-term leases and loans — The Company enters into financing arrangements with customers who seek lease financing for ~~equipment they might otherwise purchase.~~equipment. Pursuant to the current lease accounting standard effective February 2, 2019, new DFS leases are classified as sales-type leases, direct financing leases, or operating leases. When the terms of the DFS lease transfer control of the underlying asset to the lessee, the contract is typically classified as a sales-type lease. Direct financing leases are immaterial. All other new DFS leases are classified as operating leases. Leases that commenced prior to the effective date of the current lease accounting standard continue to be accounted for under previous lease accounting guidance. Leases with business customers have fixed terms of generally two to four years.

The Company also offers fixed-term loans to qualified small businesses, large commercial accounts, governmental organizations, educational entities, and certain individual consumer customers. These loans are repaid in equal payments including interest and have defined terms of generally three to five years. The fair value of the fixed-term loan portfolio is determined using market observable inputs. The carrying value of these loans approximates fair value.

(a) Customer receivables, gross includes amounts due from customers under revolving loans, fixed-term loans, fixed-term sales-type or direct financing leases, and accrued interest.

The allowance for losses as of ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020 includes the adoption of the new CECL standard, which was adopted as of February 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective method. Prior period amounts have not been recast. The provision recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) ~~during~~for the three and nine months ended ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020 is based on an assessment of the impact of current and expected future economic conditions, inclusive of the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on credit losses. The duration and severity of COVID-19 and continued market volatility is highly uncertain and, as such, the impact on expected losses is subject to significant judgment and may cause variability in the Company’s allowance for credit losses in future periods. See Note 1 and Note 2 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the new CECL standard.

Aging is likely to fluctuate as a result of the variability in volume of large transactions entered into over the period, and the administrative processes that accompany those larger transactions. Aging is also impacted by the timing of the Dell Technologies fiscal period end date, relative to calendar month-end customer payment due dates. As a result of these factors, fluctuations in aging from period to period do not necessarily indicate a material change in the collectibility of the portfolio.

Fixed-term consumer and commercial customer receivables are placed on non-accrual status if principal or interest is past due and considered delinquent, or if there is concern about collectibility of a specific customer receivable. These receivables identified as doubtful for collectibility may be classified as current for aging purposes. Aged revolving portfolio customer receivables identified as delinquent are charged off.

The categories shown in the tables above 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 above, 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 above, 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.

DFS U.S. Debt

Asset-Based Financing and Securitization Facilities — The Company maintains separate asset-based financing facilities and a securitization facility in the United States, which are revolving facilities for fixed-term leases and loans and for revolving loans, respectively. This debt is collateralized solely by the U.S. loan and lease payments and associated equipment in the facilities. The debt has a variable interest rate and the duration of the debt is based on the terms of the underlying loan and lease payment streams. As of ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020, the total debt capacity related to the U.S. asset-based financing and securitization facilities was ~~$4.0~~$4.1 billion. The Company enters into interest swap agreements to effectively convert a portion of this debt from a floating rate to a fixed rate. See Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about interest rate swaps.

The Company’s U.S. securitization facility for revolving loans is effective through June 25, 2022. The Company’s two U.S. asset-based financing facilities for fixed-term leases and loans are effective through August 22, 2021 and July 26, 2022, respectively.

The asset-based financing and securitization facilities contain standard structural features related to the performance of the funded receivables, which include defined credit losses, delinquencies, average credit scores, and minimum collection requirements. In the event one or more of these criteria are not met and the Company is unable to restructure the facility, no further funding of receivables will be permitted and the timing of the Company’s expected cash flows from over-collateralization will be delayed. As of ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020, these criteria were met.

Fixed-Term Securitization Offerings — The Company periodically issues asset-backed debt securities under fixed-term securitization programs to private investors. The asset-backed debt securities are collateralized solely by the U.S. fixed-term leases and loans in the offerings, which are held by Special Purpose Entities (“SPEs”), as discussed below. The interest rate on these securities is fixed and ranges from ~~1.91%~~0.31% to 5.92% per annum, and the duration of these securities is based on the terms of the underlying loan and lease payment streams.

DFS International Debt

Securitization Facility — The Company maintains a securitization facility in Europe for fixed-term leases and loans. This facility is effective through December 21, 2020 and has a total debt capacity of ~~$876~~$934 million as of ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020.

The securitization facility contains standard structural features related to the performance of the securitized receivables, which include defined credit losses, delinquencies, average credit scores, and minimum collection requirements. In the event one or more of these criteria are not met and the Company is unable to restructure the program, no further funding of receivables will be permitted and the timing of the Company’s expected cash flows from over-collateralization will be delayed. As of ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020, these criteria were met.

Other Borrowings — In connection with the Company’s international financing operations, the Company has entered into revolving structured financing debt programs related to its fixed-term lease and loan products sold in Canada, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.

Variable Interest Entities

In connection with the asset-based financing facilities, securitization facilities, and fixed-term securitization offerings discussed above, the Company transfers certain U.S. and European loan and lease payments and associated equipment to SPEs that meet the definition of a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) and are consolidated, along with the associated debt detailed above, into the Consolidated Financial Statements, as the Company is the primary beneficiary of those VIEs. The SPEs are bankruptcy-remote legal entities with separate assets and liabilities. The purpose of the SPEs is to facilitate the funding of customer loan and lease payments and associated equipment in the capital markets.

The following table presents financing receivables and equipment under operating leases, net held by the consolidated VIEs as of the dates indicated:

Some of the SPEs have entered into financing arrangements with multi-seller conduits that, in turn, issue asset-backed debt securities in the capital markets. The DFS debt outstanding, which is collateralized by the loan and lease payments and associated equipment held by the consolidated VIEs, was ~~$6.5~~$6.9 billion and $5.9 billion as of ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020 and January 31, 2020, respectively. The Company’s risk of loss related to securitized receivables is limited to the amount by which the Company’s right to receive collections for assets securitized exceeds the amount required to pay interest, principal, and fees and expenses related to the asset-backed securities. The Company provides credit enhancement to the securitizations in the form of over-collateralization.

Customer Receivables Sales

To manage certain concentrations of customer credit exposure, the Company may sell selected fixed-term customer receivables to unrelated third parties on a periodic basis, without recourse. The amount of customer receivables sold for this purpose was ~~$21~~$414 million and ~~$101~~$406 million for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020 and ~~May 3,~~November 1, 2019, respectively.

NOTE 5 — LEASES

The Company enters into leasing transactions in which the Company is the lessee. These lease contracts are typically classified as operating leases. The Company’s lease contracts are generally for office buildings used to conduct its business, and the determination of whether such contracts contain leases generally does not require significant estimates or judgments. The Company also leases certain global logistics warehouses, employee vehicles, and equipment. As of ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020, the remaining terms of the Company’s leases range from less than one month to 26 years.

The Company also enters into leasing transactions in which the Company is the lessor, primarily through customer financing arrangements offered through DFS. DFS originates leases that are primarily classified as either sales-type leases or operating leases. See Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the DFS lease portfolio and related lease disclosures.

In adopting the current lease accounting standard effective February 2, 2019, the Company elected to apply a transition method that does not require the retrospective application to periods prior to the effective date. Financial information associated with the Company’s leases in which the Company is the lessee is contained in this Note. As of ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020 and January 31, 2020, there were no material finance leases for which the Company was a lessee.

Secured Debt

Senior Secured Credit Facilities — The Company has entered into a credit agreement that provides for senior secured credit facilities (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) comprising (a) term loan facilities and (b) a senior secured Revolving Credit Facility, which provides for a borrowing capacity of up to $4.5 billion for general corporate purposes, including capacity for up to $0.5 billion of letters of credit and for borrowings of up to $0.4 billion under swing-line loans.

As of ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020, available borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility totaled $4.5 billion. The Senior Secured Credit Facilities provide that the borrowers have the right at any time, subject to customary conditions, to request incremental term loans or incremental revolving commitments.

Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin, plus, at the borrowers’ option, either (a) a base rate, or (b) the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The Term Loan B-1 Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 2.00% or a base rate plus an applicable margin of 1.00%. The Term Loan A-4 Facility and the Term Loan A-6 Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.00% or a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.00%. Interest is payable, in the case of loans bearing interest based on LIBOR, at the end of each interest period (but at least every three months), in arrears and, in the case of loans bearing interest based on the base rate, quarterly in arrears.

The Term Loan B-1 Facility amortizes in equal quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1% of the original principal amount. The Term Loan A-4 Facility amortizes in equal quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 5% of the original principal amount in each of the first four years after the facility closing date of December 20, 2018, and 80% of the original principal amount in the fifth year after December 20, 2018. The Term Loan A-6 Facility amortizes in equal quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 5% of the original principal amount in each of the first four years after the facility closing date of March 13, 2019, and 80% of the original principal amount in the fifth year after March 13, 2019. The Revolving Credit Facility has no amortization.

The borrowers may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the term loan facilities and the Revolving Credit Facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary “breakage” costs.

DFS Debt

See Note 4 and Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, respectively, for discussion of DFS debt and the interest rate swap agreements that hedge a portion of that debt.

Other

Margin Loan Facility — On April 12, 2017, the Company entered into the Margin Loan Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $2.0 billion, under which VMW Holdco LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of EMC, is the borrower. In connection with the Class V transaction described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, on December 20, 2018, the Company amended the Margin Loan Facility to increase the aggregate principal amount to $3.35 billion. In connection with obtaining the Term Loan A-6 Facility during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020, the Company increased the aggregate principal amount of the Margin Loan Facility to $4.0 billion.

During the three months ended May 1, 2020, due to volatility in the U.S. stock market resulting from the outbreak of COVID-19, VMware Holdco LLC proactively pledged additional shares of VMware, Inc. common stock to secure its obligations under the Margin Loan Facility agreement. This resulted in an aggregate number of shares pledged of approximately 76 million shares of Class B common stock of VMware, Inc. and approximately 24 million shares of Class A common stock of VMware, Inc.

Loans under the Margin Loan Facility bear interest at a rate per annum payable, at the borrower’s option, either at (a) a base rate plus 1.25% per annum or (b) a LIBOR-based rate plus 2.25% per annum. Interest under the Margin Loan Facility is payable quarterly. The Margin Loan Facility will mature in April 2022. The borrower may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the Margin Loan Facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary “breakage” costs, subject to certain minimum threshold amounts for prepayment.

Covenants and Unrestricted Net Assets — The credit agreement for the Senior Secured Credit Facilities contains customary negative covenants that generally limit the ability of Denali Intermediate Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dell Technologies, ~~(“Dell Intermediate”),~~ Dell, and Dell’s and Denali Intermediate’s other restricted subsidiaries to incur debt, create liens, make fundamental changes, enter into asset sales, make certain investments, pay dividends or distribute or redeem certain equity interests, prepay or redeem certain debt, and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. The indenture governing the Senior Notes contains customary negative covenants that generally limit the ability of Denali Intermediate, Dell, and Dell’s and Denali Intermediate’s other restricted subsidiaries to incur additional debt or issue certain preferred shares, pay dividends on or make other distributions in respect of capital stock or make other restricted payments, make certain investments, sell or transfer certain assets, create liens on certain assets to secure debt, consolidate, merge, sell, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all assets, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, and designate subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. The negative covenants under such credit agreements and indenture are subject to certain exceptions, qualifications, and “baskets.” The indentures governing the First Lien Notes, the Unsecured Notes and Debentures, and the EMC Notes variously impose limitations, subject to specified exceptions, on creating certain liens, entering into sale and lease-back transactions, and entering into certain asset sales. The foregoing credit agreements and indentures contain customary events of default, including failure to make required payments, failure to comply with covenants, and the occurrence of certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency.

As of ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020, the Company had certain consolidated subsidiaries that were designated as unrestricted subsidiaries for all purposes of the applicable credit agreements and the indentures governing the First Lien Notes and the Senior Notes. Substantially all of the net assets of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries were restricted, with the exception of the Company’s unrestricted subsidiaries, primarily VMware, Inc., Secureworks, and their respective subsidiaries, as of ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020.

The Term Loan A-4 Facility, the Term Loan A-6 Facility, and the Revolving Credit Facility are subject to a first lien leverage ratio covenant that is tested at the end of each fiscal quarter of Dell with respect to Dell’s preceding four fiscal quarters. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020.

NOTE 7 — DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

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 line 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. The Company does not have any derivatives designated as 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 and nine months ended ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020 and ~~May 3,~~November 1, 2019, 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 expanded offerings of DFS in Europe, forward contracts are used to hedge financing receivables denominated in foreign currencies other than Euro. 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 five 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 Euros 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 are not designated for hedge accounting and expire within five years or less.

NOTE 8 — BUSINESS COMBINATIONS, GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Business Combinations

VMware, Inc. ~~Acquisition~~Acquisitions

SaltStack, Inc. — During the three months ended October 30, 2020, VMware, Inc. completed the acquisition of SaltStack, Inc., a developer of intelligent, event-driven automation software, to broaden VMware, Inc.’s Cloud Management capabilities from infrastructure to applications. The total purchase price, net of cash acquired, was $51 million. The purchase price primarily included $29 million of intangible assets and $24 million of goodwill that is 0t expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The identifiable intangible assets, which primarily consisted of completed technology, have estimated useful lives of three years.

Datrium, Inc.— During the three months ended July 31, 2020, VMware, Inc. completed the acquisition of Datrium, Inc., a provider of cloud-native disaster recovery solutions, to broaden the VMware Site Recovery Disaster Recovery as a Service offerings. The total purchase price, net of cash acquired, was $137 million. The purchase price primarily included $25 million of identifiable intangible assets and $91 million of goodwill that is 0t expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The identifiable intangible assets, which primarily consisted of completed technology, have estimated useful lives of three years to five years.

Lastline, Inc.— During the three months ended July 31, 2020, VMware, Inc. completed the acquisition of Lastline, Inc., a provider of network-based security breach detection products and services, to enhance capabilities for network detection and threat analysis on VMware NSX and SD-WAN offerings. The total purchase price, net of cash acquired, was $114 million. The purchase price primarily included $29 million of identifiable intangible assets and $86 million of goodwill that is 0t expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The identifiable intangible assets, which primarily consisted of completed technology, have estimated useful lives of one year to four years.

Nyansa, Inc. — During the three months ended May 1, 2020, VMware, Inc. completed the acquisition of Nyansa, Inc., a developer of artificial intelligence-based network analytics, to accelerate the delivery of end-to-end monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities within VMware SD-WAN by VeloCloud. The total purchase price, net of cash acquired, was $38 million. The purchase price primarily included $14 million of identifiable intangible assets and $24 million of goodwill that is 0t expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The identifiable intangible assets, which primarily consisted of completed technology, have estimated useful lives of one year to four years.

Other Fiscal 2021 Acquisitions— During the nine months ended October 30, 2020, VMware, Inc. completed 3 other acquisitions, which were not material individually to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. VMware, Inc. expects these acquisitions to enhance its product features and capabilities for VMware Carbon Black Cloud and vRealize Operations offerings. The aggregate purchase price for these 3 acquisitions, net of cash acquired, was $44 million and primarily included $35 million of identifiable intangible assets and $16 million of goodwill, of which $24 million is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The identifiable intangible assets, which primarily consisted of completed technology, have estimated useful lives of one year to five years.

For each of the acquisitions completed during the nine months ended October 30, 2020, the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which management believes represents synergies expected from combining the technologies of VMware, Inc. with those of the acquired businesses. The estimated fair value assigned to the tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets, and assumed liabilities were based on management's estimates and assumptions. The initial allocation of the purchase price was based on preliminary valuations and assumptions and is subject to change within the measurement period. VMware, Inc. expects to finalize the allocation of the purchase price within the measurement period.

The pro forma financial information assuming these Fiscal 2021 acquisitions had occurred as of the beginning of the fiscal year prior to the fiscal year of acquisition, as well as the revenue and earnings generated during the current fiscal year, were not material for disclosure purposes.

Goodwill Impairment Tests — 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. As a result of the changes in the current economic environment related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company considered whether there was a potential triggering event requiring the evaluation of whether goodwill of any of the reporting units should be tested for impairment. The Company determined there was no triggering event in previous quarters during Fiscal 2021 and no impairment test was performed ~~as of May 1, 2020.~~

~~For our~~other than the Company’s annual impairment review in the third quarter of Fiscal ~~2020,~~2021.

For the annual impairment review in the third quarter of Fiscal 2021, the Company elected to bypass the assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit was less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. In electing to bypass the qualitative assessment, the Company proceeded directly to performing a quantitative goodwill impairment test to measure the fair value of each goodwill reporting unit relative to its carrying amount, and to determine the amount of goodwill impairment loss to be recognized, if any.

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 methodologies, unless the reporting unit relates to a publicly-traded entity (VMware, Inc. or Secureworks), in which case the fair value is determined based primarily on the public company market valuation. The discounted cash flow and public company multiples methodologies require significant judgment, including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, current and anticipated economic conditions and trends, selection of market multiples through assessment of the reporting unit’s performance relative to peer competitors, the estimation of the long-term revenue growth rate and discount 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.

The fair value of the indefinite-lived trade names is generally estimated using discounted cash flow methodologies. The discounted cash flow methodology requires significant judgment, including estimation of future revenue, which is dependent on internal forecasts, the estimation of the long-term revenue growth rate of the Company’s business and the determination of the Company’s weighted average cost of capital and royalty rates. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets, potentially resulting in a non-cash impairment charge.

Based on the results of the annual impairment test performed during the ~~fiscal year~~three months ended ~~January 31,~~October 30, 2020, the fair values of each of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Based on this annual impairment test, it was determined that the fair value of the RSA Security reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by 13% as of November 1, 2019. The Company’s entry into a definitive agreement to sell RSA Security for $2.075 billion, as discussed in Note 1 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, provided a new fair value indication that the RSA Security reporting unit exceeds its carrying value. Accordingly, subsequent to the annual impairment test, based on fair value indicators as of January 31, 2020 and May 1, 2020, it was determined that the fair value of the RSA Security reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount by 20%.

During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020, an interim impairment assessment of Virtustream was required.

NOTE 9 — DEFERRED REVENUE

Deferred Revenue — Deferred revenue is recorded for support and deployment services, software maintenance, professional services, training, and software-as-a-service when the Company has a right to invoice or payments have been received for undelivered products or services where transfer of control has not occurred. 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.

The following table presents the changes in the Company’s deferred revenue for the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended							Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended

(b) For the three and nine months ended November 1, 2019, Other consists of acquired deferred revenue from Carbon Black, Inc. by VMware, Inc.

Remaining Performance Obligations — Remaining performance obligations represent the aggregate amount of the transaction price 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 value of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations as of ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020 was approximately ~~$37~~$38 billion. The Company expects to recognize approximately 63% of remaining performance obligations as revenue in the next twelve months, and the remainder thereafter.

The aggregate amount of the 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.

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 have not materialized, and adjustments for currency.

NOTE 10 — 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:

Class Actions Related to the Class V Transaction — NaN purported stockholders brought putative class action complaints arising out of the Class V transaction described in Note 1of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The actions were captioned Hallandale Beach Police and Fire Retirement Plan v. Michael Dell et al. (Civil Action No. 2018-0816-JTL), Howard Karp v. Michael Dell et al. (Civil Action No. 2019-0032-JTL), Miramar Police Officers’ Retirement Plan v. Michael Dell et al. (Civil Action No. 2019-0049-JTL), and Steamfitters Local 449 Pension Plan v. Michael Dell et al. (Civil Action No. 2019-0115-JTL). The four actions were consolidated in the Delaware Chancery Court into In Re Dell Class V Litigation (Consol. C.A. No. 2018-0816-JTL), which names as defendants the Company’s board of directors and certain stockholders of the Company, including Michael S. Dell. The plaintiffs generally allege that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the former holders of Class V Common Stock in connection with the Class V transaction by allegedly causing the Company to enter into a transaction that favored the interests of the controlling stockholders at the expense of such former stockholders. The plaintiffs seek, among other remedies, a judicial declaration that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties and an award of damages, fees, and costs. The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in August 2019 making substantially similar allegations to those described above. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the action in September 2019. The ~~plaintiffs replied to~~court denied the motion ~~to dismiss~~ in ~~November 2019,~~June 2020 and the ~~defendants filed a reply in December 2019.

Patent Litigation — On April 25, 2019, Cirba Inc. (“Cirba”) filed a lawsuit against VMware, Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging 2 patent infringement claims and 3 trademark infringement-related claims. On May 6, 2019, Cirba filed a motion seeking a preliminary injunction tied to 1 of the 2 patents it alleges VMware, Inc. infringes. Following a hearing on August 6, 2019, the Court denied Cirba’s preliminary injunction motion and set the case for trial in mid-January 2020. On August 20, 2019, VMware, Inc. filed counterclaims against Cirba, asserting among other claims that Cirba is infringing 4 VMware, Inc. patents. The Delaware Court severed those claims from the January 2020 trial on Cirba’s claims, and the trial on VMware, Inc.’s patent claims is currently set for September 2021. On October 22, 2019, VMware, Inc. filed a separate patent infringement lawsuit against Cirba in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, asserting that Cirba infringes 4 additional VMware, Inc. patents. The trial on Cirba’s claims in the Delaware court was completed on January 23, 2020, and on January 24, 2020, the jury returned a verdict finding that VMware, Inc. willfully infringed the 2 asserted patents and awarding approximately $237 million in damages. The jury further found that VMware, Inc. was not liable on Cirba’s trademark infringement-related claims. A total of $237 million was accrued for the Delaware action, ~~during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020 and~~which reflects the estimated losses that are considered both probable and reasonably estimable at this time. The parties ~~have completed~~filed the post-trial ~~briefing stage~~motions in which VMware, Inc. moved to set aside the verdict and reduce the damages award, and Cirba moved for a permanent injunction, enhanced damages, setting of an ongoing royalty rate, and an award of pre-judgment and post-judgment interest and supplemental damages.

VMware, Inc. intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter, including, ~~having sought to overturn the jury’s verdict in the first Delaware trial during the post-trial briefing stage and,~~ if necessary, onvia an appeal.

On October 22, 2019, VMware, Inc. filed a separate patent infringement lawsuit against Cirba in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, asserting that Cirba infringes 4 additional VMware, Inc. patents. The Virginia court transferred these patent claims to Delaware. On March 23, 2020, Cirba filed a counterclaim asserting 1 additional patent against VMware, Inc. VMware, Inc. intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter.

Class Actions Related to VMware, Inc.’s Acquisition of Pivotal — NaN purported stockholders brought putative class action complaints arising out of VMware, Inc.’s acquisition of Pivotal Software, Inc. on December 30, 2019 as described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The 2 actions were consolidated in the Delaware Chancery Court into In re: Pivotal Software, Inc. Stockholders Litigation (Civil Action No. 2020-0440-KSJM). The complaint names as defendants the Company, VMware, Inc., Michael S. Dell, and certain officers of Pivotal. The plaintiffs generally allege that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the former holders of Pivotal Class A Common Stock in connection with VMware, Inc.’s acquisition of Pivotal by allegedly causing Pivotal to enter into a transaction that favored the interests of Pivotal’s controlling stockholders at the expense of such former stockholders. The plaintiffs seek, among other remedies, a judicial declaration that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties and an award of damages, fees, and costs.

Other Litigation— The various legal proceedings in which Dell is involved include commercial and intellectual property litigation. 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 1,~~October 30, 2020, 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.

NOTE 11 — INCOME AND OTHER TAXES

For the three months ended ~~May~~October 30, 2020 and November 1, ~~2020, the Company’s effective income tax rate was -33.8% on pre-tax income of $136 million. For the three months ended May 3,~~ 2019, the Company’s effective income tax ~~rate was 330.1%~~rates were 37.2% and -247.2% on pre-tax income of $1.4 billion and $159 million, respectively. For the nine months ended October 30, 2020 and November 1, 2019, the Company’s effective income tax rates were -6.1% and 5482.1% on pre-tax income of $2.0 billion and pre-tax losses of ~~$143 million.~~$95 million, respectively. The ~~change~~changes in the Company’s effective income tax ~~rate is~~rates are primarily driven by discrete tax items and a change in the Company’s jurisdictional mix of income.

The Company’s effective income tax rates for the three and nine months ended October 30, 2020 include a discrete tax expense of $359 million relating to the divestiture of RSA Security during the periods due to the relatively low tax basis for the assets sold, particularly goodwill. For the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020, the Company’s effective income tax rate ~~benefit~~also includes a discrete tax ~~benefit~~benefits of $746 million related to an audit settlement and $59 million from an intra-entity asset transfer of certain of Pivotal’s intellectual property to an Irish subsidiary that was completed by VMware, Inc. ~~during the quarter.~~ For the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~May 3,~~November 1, 2019, the Company’s effective income tax rate includes a discrete tax ~~benefit~~benefits of ~~$405 million~~$4.9 billion related to a similar intra-entity asset ~~transfer.~~transfers. The tax benefit for each intra-entity asset transfer was recorded as a deferred tax asset in the period of the transaction and represents the book and tax basis difference on the transferred assets measured based on the intellectual property’s current fair value and applicable Irish statutory tax rate. The Company applied significant judgment when determining the fair value of the intellectual property, which serves as the tax basis of the deferred tax asset, and in evaluating the associated tax laws in the applicable jurisdictions. The tax deductions for amortization of the assets will be recognized in the future, and any amortization not deducted for tax purposes will be carried forward indefinitely under Irish tax laws. The Company expects to be able to realize the deferred tax assets resulting from these intra-entity asset transfers. The Company’s effective income tax rates for the three and nine months ended November 1, 2019 also include discrete tax benefits of $305 million related to an audit settlement.

The differences between the estimated effective income tax rates and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% principally result from the Company’s geographical distribution of income, differences between the book and tax treatment of certain items, and the discrete tax items discussed above. In 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 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 relates to a tax holiday that will be effective until January 31, 2029. The Company’s other tax holidays will expire in whole or in part during fiscal years 2022 through 2030. 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. As of ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020, the Company was not aware of any matters of non-compliance related to these tax holidays. The effective income tax rate for future quarters of Fiscal 2021 may be impacted by the actual mix of jurisdictions in which income is generated.

~~In December 2019,~~During the nine months ended October 30, 2020, the Company ~~received a Revenue Agent’s Report for the examination by~~effectively settled the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) ofaudit for fiscal years 2010 through ~~2014. The~~2014, for which the Company ~~has protested certain proposed assessments within~~made a cash payment of $435 million to the IRS ~~administrative procedures. This process has been progressing and although the timing of any resolution remains uncertain, the Company anticipates reaching a settlement with the IRS in Fiscal 2021.~~on August 3, 2020. The IRS ~~has started its examination of~~is currently examining fiscal years 2015 through 2019. The Company believes it has valid positions supporting its tax returns and that it is adequately reserved.

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 the fiscal year ended January 29, 2010.

Judgment is required in evaluating the Company’s uncertain tax positions and determining the Company’s provision for income taxes. The unrecognized tax benefits were $1.4 billion and $2.5 billion as of ~~both May 1,~~October 30, 2020 and January 31, 2020, respectively, and are included in accrued and other and other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. ~~Although timing~~The Company does not anticipate a significant change to the total amount of ~~resolution or closure of uncertain~~unrecognized tax ~~positions is not certain, the Company believes it is reasonably possible that certain tax matters in various jurisdictions, including those matters discussed above, could be concluded~~benefits within the next twelve months. The resolution of these audits could reduce the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits by an estimated amount of between $550 million and $850 million. Such a reduction will have a material impact on the Company’s effective tax rate.

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, the Company is required in certain situations to provide collateral guarantees or indemnification to regulators and tax authorities until the matter is resolved.

NOTE 15 — EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted-average effect of all common shares issued and outstanding and is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares used in the basic earnings per share calculation plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive instruments. The Company excludes equity instruments from the calculation of diluted earnings per share if the effect of including such instruments is antidilutive.

The Class A Common Stock, the Class B Common Stock, the Class C Common Stock, and the Class D Common Stock are collectively referred to as Dell Technologies Common Stock.

For purposes of calculating earnings per share, the Company uses the two-class method. As all classes of Dell Technologies Common Stock share the same rights in dividends, basic and diluted earnings per share are the same for each class of Dell Technologies Common Stock.

The following table presents the basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods indicated:

The incremental dilution from VMware, Inc. represents the impact of VMware, Inc.’s dilutive securities on diluted earnings per share of Dell Technologies Common Stock, and is calculated by multiplying the difference between VMware, Inc.’s basic and diluted earnings per share by the number of shares of VMware, Inc. common stock held by the Company. For the three months ended May 3, 2019, the incremental dilution from VMware, Inc. was calculated by the Company without regard to VMware Inc.’s required retrospective adjustments for the Pivotal acquisition in its stand-alone financial statements, and there was no incremental dilution from Pivotal due to its net loss position. For both periods presented, there was no incremental dilution from Secureworks due to its net loss position.

NOTE 16 — 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 month holding period following the issuance of such common stock. The put feature requires the Company to purchase the stock at its fair market value. Accordingly, these awards and such 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 restricted stock awards, ~~(“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 share for which services have been rendered.

•For share-based arrangements that are subject to the occurrence of a contingent event, those amounts are reclassified to temporary equity based on a probability assessment performed by the Company on a periodic basis. Contingent events include the achievement of performance-based metrics.

In connection with the Class V transaction described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the put feature provisions were amended to provide that the put feature applicable to transfers of Dell Technologies securities will terminate upon the earlier of two years after the expiration on June 27, 2019 of the post-transaction lock-up or consummation of any underwritten public offering of shares of Class C Common Stock.

The following table presents the amount of redeemable shares classified as temporary equity and summarizes the award type as of the dates indicated:

NOTE 17 — SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has 3 reportable segments that are based on the following business units: Infrastructure Solutions Group (“ISG”); Client Solutions Group (“CSG”); and VMware.

On December 30, 2019, VMware, Inc. completed its acquisition of Pivotal. Due to the Company’s ownership of a controlling interest in Pivotal, the Company and VMware, Inc. accounted for the Pivotal acquisition as a transaction between entities under common control, and consequently the transaction had no net effect to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Pivotal now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of VMware, Inc. and Dell Technologies reports Pivotal results within the VMware reportable segment. Previously, Pivotal results were reported within Other businesses. Prior period results have been recast to conform with the current period presentation.

ISG enables the digital transformation of the Company’s customers through its trusted multi-cloud and big data solutions, which are built upon a modern data center infrastructure. The ISG comprehensive portfolio of advanced storage solutions includes traditional storage solutions as well as next-generation storage solutions (such as all-flash arrays, scale-out file, object platforms, and software-defined solutions), while the Company’s server portfolio includes high-performance rack, blade, tower, and hyperscale servers. The ISG networking portfolio helps business customers transform and modernize their infrastructure, mobilize and enrich end-user experiences, and accelerate business applications and processes. ISG also offers attached software, peripherals, and services, including support and deployment, configuration, and extended warranty services.

CSG includes sales to commercial and consumer customers of branded hardware (such as desktops, workstations, and notebooks) and branded peripherals (such as displays and projectors), as well as services and third-party software and peripherals. CSG also offers attached software, peripherals, and services, including support and deployment, configuration, and extended warranty services.

VMware works with customers in the areas of hybrid and multi-cloud, modern applications, networking, security, and digital workspaces, helping customers manage their IT resources across private clouds and complex multi-cloud, multi-device environments. VMware enables its customers to digitally transform their operations as they ready their applications, infrastructure, and employees for constantly evolving business needs.

The reportable segments disclosed herein are based on information reviewed by the Company’s management to evaluate the business segment results. The Company’s measure of segment revenue and segment operating income for management reporting purposes excludes the impact of Other businesses, unallocated corporate transactions, the impact of purchase accounting, amortization of intangible assets, transaction-related expenses, stock-based compensation expense, and other corporate expenses, as applicable. The Company does not allocate assets to the above reportable segments for internal reporting purposes.

Products and Services

We design, develop, manufacture, market, sell, and support a wide range of comprehensive and integrated solutions, products, and services. We are organized into the following business units, which are our reportable segments: Infrastructure Solutions Group; Client Solutions Group; and VMware.

•

•Infrastructure Solutions Group (“ISG”) — ISG enables the digital transformation of our customers through our trusted multi-cloud and big data solutions, which are built upon a modern data center infrastructure. ISG works with customers in the area of hybrid cloud deployment with the goal of simplifying, streamlining, and automating cloud operations. ISG solutions are built for multicloud environments and are optimized to run cloud native workloads in both public and private clouds, as well as traditional on-premise workloads.

ISG solutions are built for multicloud environments and are optimized to run cloud native workloads in both public and private clouds, as well as traditional on-premise workloads.

Our comprehensive portfolio of advanced storage solutions includes traditional storage solutions as well as next-generation storage solutions (such as all-flash arrays, scale-out file, object platforms, and software-defined solutions). We have simplified our storage portfolio to ensure that we deliver the technology needed for our customers’ digital transformation. We continue to make enhancements to our storage solutions offerings and expect that these offerings, including our new PowerStore storage array released in May 2020, will drive long-term improvements in the business. Our server portfolio includes high-performance rack, blade, tower, and hyperscale servers, optimized for artificial intelligence and machine learning workloads. Our networking portfolio helps our business customers transform and modernize their infrastructure, mobilize and enrich end-user experiences, and accelerate business applications and processes. Our strengths in server, storage, and virtualization software solutions enable us to offer leading converged and hyper-converged solutions, allowing our customers to accelerate their IT transformation by acquiring scalable integrated IT solutions instead of building and assembling their own IT platforms. ISG also offers attached software, peripherals, and services, including support and deployment, configuration, and extended warranty services.

Approximately half of ISG revenue is generated by sales to customers in the Americas, with the remaining portion derived from sales to customers in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa region (“EMEA”) and the Asia-Pacific and Japan region (“APJ”).

•

•Client Solutions Group (“CSG”) — CSG includes branded hardware (such as desktops, workstations, and notebooks) and branded peripherals (such as displays and projectors), as well as third-party software and peripherals. Our computing devices are designed with our commercial and consumer customers’ needs in mind, and we seek to optimize performance, reliability, manageability, design, and security. In addition to our traditional hardware business, we have a portfolio of thin client offerings that we believe will allow us to benefit from the growth trends in cloud computing. For our customers that are seeking to simplify client lifecycle management, Dell PC as a Service offering combines hardware, software, lifecycle services, and financing into one all-encompassing solution that provides predictable pricing per seat per month through Dell Financial Services. CSG also offers attached software, peripherals, and services, including support and deployment, configuration, and extended warranty services.

•VMware— The VMware reportable segment (“VMware”) reflects the operations of VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW) within Dell Technologies. VMware works with customers in the areas of hybrid and multi-cloud, modern applications, networking, security, and digital workspaces, helping customers manage their IT resources across private clouds and complex multi-cloud, multi-device environments. VMware’s portfolio supports and addresses the key IT priorities of customers: accelerating their cloud journey, modernizing their applications, empowering digital workspaces, transforming networking, and embracing intrinsic security. VMware enables its customers to digitally transform their operations as they ready their applications, infrastructure, and employees for constantly evolving business needs.

During the third quarter of Fiscal 2020, VMware, Inc. completed its acquisition of Carbon Black, Inc. (“Carbon Black”), a developer of cloud-native endpoint protection.

On December 30, 2019, VMware, Inc. completed its acquisition of Pivotal Software, Inc. (“Pivotal”). Before the transaction, Pivotal was a majority-owned subsidiary of Dell Technologies through EMC and VMware, Inc. Pivotal provides a leading cloud-native platform that makes software development and IT operations a strategic advantage for

Table of Contents

customers. Pivotal’s cloud-native platform, Pivotal Cloud Foundry, accelerates and streamlines software development by reducing the complexity of building, deploying, and operating new cloud-native applications, and modernizing

~~Table of Contents~~

legacy applications. With the acquisition, which aligns key software assets, VMware, Inc. will drive and build on a comprehensive development platform with Kubernetes.

Dell Technologies now reports Pivotal results within the VMware reportable segment, and the historical segment results have been recast to reflect this change. Pivotal results were previously reported within other businesses. See Note 17 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for the recast of segment results.

Approximately half of VMware revenue is generated by sales to customers in the United States.

Our other businesses, described below, consist of product and service offerings of Secureworks, Virtustream, ~~Boomi,~~ and ~~RSA Security,~~Boomi, each of which is majority-owned by Dell Technologies. 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.

•

•Secureworks (NASDAQ: SCWX) is a leading global provider of intelligence-driven information security solutions singularly focused on protecting its clients from cyber attacks. The solutions offered by Secureworks enable organizations of varying size and complexity to fortify their cyber defenses to prevent security breaches, detect malicious activity in near real time, prioritize and respond rapidly to security incidents, and predict emerging threats.

•Virtustream offers cloud software and infrastructure-as-a-service solutions that enable customers to migrate, run, and manage mission-critical applications in cloud-based IT environments.

•Boomi specializes in cloud-based integration, connecting information between existing on-premise and cloud-based applications to ensure that business processes are optimized, data is accurate and workflow is reliable.

On February 18, 2020, we announced our entry into a definitive agreement with a consortium of investors to sell RSA Security. On September 1, 2020, the parties closed the transaction. At the completion of the sale, we received total cash consideration of approximately $2.082 billion, resulting in a pre-tax gain on sale of $338 million. The Company ultimately recorded a $21 million loss net of taxes. The transaction was intended to further simplify our product portfolio and corporate structure. Prior to the divestiture, RSA Security’s operating results were included within Other businesses. See Note 1 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for more information about this transaction.

~~RSA 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. In February 2020, Dell Technologies announced its entry into a definitive agreement to sell RSA Security to a consortium of investors in an all-cash transaction for approximately $2.075 billion, subject to certain closing adjustments. The transaction, expected to close in the third quarter of Fiscal 2021, is intended to further simplify our product portfolio and corporate structure.

We believe the collaboration, innovation, and coordination of the operations and strategies across all segments of our business, as well as our differentiated go-to-market model, will continue to drive revenue synergies. Through our coordinated research and development activities, we are able to jointly engineer leading innovative solutions that incorporate the distinct set of hardware, software, and services across all segments of our business.

Our products and services offerings are continually evolving in response to industry dynamics. As a result, reclassifications of certain products and services solutions in major product categories may be required. For further discussion regarding our current reportable segments, see “Results of Operations — Business Unit Results” and Note 17 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

Dell Financial Services

Dell Financial Services and its affiliates (“DFS”) support our businesses by offering and arranging various financing options and services for our customers in North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. DFS originates, collects, and services customer receivables primarily related to the purchase or use of our product, software, and service solutions. We also arrange financing for some of our customers in various countries where DFS does not currently operate as a captive. DFS further strengthens our customer relationships through its flexible consumption models, which enable us to offer our customers the option to pay over time and, in certain cases, based on utilization, providing them with financial flexibility to meet their changing technological requirements. The results of these operations are allocated to our segments based on the underlying product or service financed. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are continuing to focus on supporting our customers and are providing up to $9 billion in financing support by offering low or zero percent interest rate programs as well as payment deferral options. The financial impact to DFS and our securitization and structured financing programs is not expected to be

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 all segments of our business 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 (“IoT”), and software development operations. In addition to these investments, we also may make disciplined acquisitions targeting businesses that advance our strategic objectives. As of ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020 and January 31, 2020, Dell Technologies held strategic investments of ~~$1.0~~$1.5 billion and $0.9 billion, respectively.

Business Trends and Challenges

COVID-19 Pandemic and Response — In March 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared the outbreak of the ~~coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”)~~COVID-19 a global pandemic. This declaration has been followed by significant governmental measures implemented in the United States and globally, including travel bans and restrictions, shelter-in-place orders, limitations and closures of non-essential businesses, and social distancing requirements in efforts to slow down and control the spread of the virus.

The health of our employees, customers, business partners, and communities remains our primary focus. We have taken numerous actions to date in response to COVID-19, including a swift implementation of our business continuity plans. Our crisis management team is actively engaged to respond to changes in our environment quickly and effectively, and to ensure that our preparedness plans and response activities are aligned with recommendations of the WHO, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and governmental regulations. We have implemented broad travel restrictions and moved to virtual-only events. Most of our employees were previously equipped with remote work capabilities over the past several years, thus ~~we were able~~enabling us to quickly establish a ~~work from home~~work-from-home posture for the majority of our employees. Further, we implemented pandemic-specific protocols for our essential employees whose jobs require them to be on-site or with customers. ~~Certain~~With the virus surging again across many regions, ~~and municipalities within the United States and internationally are beginning to lift stay-at-home and quarantine mandates, and~~ we are ~~actively developing~~being cautious with our return-to-site protocols and will continue remote work practices to ensure the health and safety of our employees, customers, and business partners.

We are working closely with our customers and business partners to support them as they expand their own remote work solutions and contingency plans, helping them access our products and services remotely. We have benefited from our agility, our breadth, and our scale. Notable actions we have taken include the following:

•Our global sales teams embraced a new selling process and are successfully supporting our customers and partners remotely.

•We are helping to address our customers’ cash flow requirements by expanding our as-a-service and financing offerings.

•Our close relationships and ability to connect directly with our customers through our e-commerce business have enabled us to quickly meet the immediate demands of the new ~~work~~work- and ~~learn from home~~learn-from-home environments.

•The strength, scale, and resiliency of our global supply chain have afforded us flexibility to manage through this challenging time. We adapted to events unfolding real-time by applying predictive analytics to model a variety of outcomes to respond quickly to the changing environment. We ~~were able~~optimized our global supply chain footprint to ~~keep factories open~~maximize factory uptime, for both Dell Technologies and our suppliers, by working through various local governmental regulations and mandates. During this time, we established robust safety measures to protect the health and safety of our essential team members.

•We continue to drive innovation and excellence in engineering with a largely remote workforce. Engineers and product teams recently delivered several critical solutions, including cloud updates and key client product refreshes, as well as the May 2020 launch of the PowerStore midrange storage solution.

During the first ~~quarter~~nine months of Fiscal 2021, we ~~also~~ took certain precautionary measures to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility. ~~For additional information regarding our cash position, liquidity and capital structure, see “Market Conditions, Liquidity and Capital Commitments.”~~

We will evaluate these actions as we set our annual operating plan for Fiscal 2022, taking into account current conditions, and expect that some of the benefits of these cost reduction initiatives recognized during Fiscal 2021 will phase out over time. All of these ~~decisions~~actions are aligned with our strategy, which remains unchanged, of focusing on gaining share, integrating and innovating across the Dell Technologies portfolio, and strengthening our capital structure.

We saw unique demand dynamics during the first nine months of Fiscal 2021. In ISG, the demand environment weakened as enterprise customers directed more of their investments towards remote work and business continuity solutions. In CSG, overall demand was stronger than expected as customers sought to enable work and learn from home solutions. For additional information about impacts of COVID-19 on our operations, see “Results of Operations—Consolidated Results” and “—Business Unit Results.”

We are unable to accurately predict the full impact ~~that~~ this unprecedented environment may have on our results ~~from~~of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties involved, including the progression of the COVID-19 pandemic, governmental responses, and the timing of recovery. We will continue to actively monitor global events and make prudent decisions to navigate in this uncertain and ever-changing environment. We believe we are well-positioned for long-term success, and that we will continue to lead the industry with innovative solutions and the essential technology that the world needs now more than ever.

Dell Technologies Vision and Innovation — Our vision is to be the essential technology company for the data era and a leader in end-user computing, software-defined data center solutions, data management, virtualization, IoT, and cloud software. We believe that our results will benefit from an integrated go-to-market strategy, including enhanced coordination across all segments of our business, 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 seeing an accelerated rate of change in the IT industry. We seek to address our customers’ evolving needs and their broader digital transformation objectives as they embrace the hybrid multi-cloud environment of today. ~~New~~For many customers right now, a top digital priority is to build stable and resilient remote operational capabilities. We are seeing demand for simpler, more agile IT across multiple clouds. The pandemic has accelerated the introduction and adoption of new technologies ~~are being introduced~~to ensure productivity and ~~adopted quickly.~~collaboration from anywhere. In light of this rapid pace of innovation, 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 sustainable growth.

ISG — We expect that ISG will continue to be impacted by the changing nature of the IT infrastructure market and competitive environment. The overall server demand environment was down for the ~~quarter~~first nine months of Fiscal 2021 and remains varied among international regions. In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2021, we expect ISG demand to be slightly lower than the prior year’s sequential growth based on the continued softness in data center spending. We will continue to be selective in determining whether to pursue certain large hyperscale and other server transactions as we drive for balanced growth and profitability. With our scale and strong solutions portfolio, we believe we are ~~well positioned~~well-positioned to respond to ongoing competitive dynamics. We continue to focus on customer base expansion and lifetime value of customer ~~measurements.~~relationships.

Cloud-native applications are expected to continue as a primary growth driver in the infrastructure market as IT organizations increasingly adopt cloud native architectures. We believe the complementary cloud solutions across our business strongly position us to meet these demands for our customers, who are increasingly looking to leverage cloud native architectures, whether on-premises, private or public.

The unprecedented data growth throughout all industries is generating continued demand for our storage solutions and services. We benefit by offering solutions that address the emerging trends of enterprises deploying software-defined storage, hyper-converged infrastructure, and modular solutions based on server-centric architectures. These trends are changing the way customers are consuming our traditional storage offerings. We continue to expand our offerings in external storage arrays, which incorporate flexible, cloud-based functionality. Through our research and development efforts, we are developing new solutions in this rapidly changing industry that we believe will enable us to continue to provide superior solutions to our customers.

CSG — Our CSG offerings are an important element of our strategy, generating strong cash flow and opportunities for cross-selling of complementary solutions. ~~Given current market trends, we~~During the first nine months of Fiscal 2021, CSG demand was strong in certain product

lines, particularly for notebooks and gaming systems, while demand for commercial desktops decreased. These demand dynamics were driven by the imperative for remote work and remote learning solutions, as business, government, and education customers sought to maintain productivity in the midst of COVID-19. We continue to deploy Dell PC as a Service offerings for customers who are seeking simplified solutions and lifecycle management with predictable pricing through DFS.

Competitive dynamics will continue to be a factor in our CSG business as we seek to balance profitability and growth. We are committed to a long-term growth strategy, and beyond Fiscal 2021 we believe the CSG demand environment will strengthen due to continued innovation across our solutions portfolio and the ongoing need for work from home solutions, as well as the consolidation trends that are occurring in the markets in which we compete.

Recurring Revenue and Consumption Models — Our customers are interested in new and innovative models that address how they consume our solutions. We offer options including as-a-service, utility, leases, and immediate pay models, all designed to match customers’ consumption and financing preferences. Our multi-year agreements typically result in recurring revenue streams over the term of the arrangement. We expect that our flexible consumption models will further strengthen our customer relationships and provide a foundation for growth in recurring revenue.

Supply Chain — During Fiscal 2020, we recognized benefits to our ISG and CSG operating results from significant component cost declines. During the first ~~quarter~~nine months of Fiscal 2021, ~~the cost environment~~component costs continued to ~~be deflationary~~decline in the aggregate, ~~for both ISG and CSG,~~ but at a lower rate than in Fiscal 2020. ~~We currently expect the~~In recent quarters ISG experienced some component cost ~~environment to be inflationary during the second quarter of Fiscal 2021 and to continue to be inflationary~~inflation, particularly for ~~the second half of Fiscal 2021.

Delays in the supply of limited-source components, including as a result of COVID-19, are affecting the timing of shipments of certain products in desired quantities or configurations.

Macro-Economic Risks and Uncertainties — The impacts of trade protection measures, including increases in tariffs and trade barriers, and changes in government policies and international trade arrangements may affect our ability to conduct business in some non-U.S. markets. We monitor and seek to mitigate these risks with adjustments to our manufacturing, supply chain, and distribution networks.

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 both the first ~~quarter~~nine months of Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020. As a result, our revenue 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.

Key Performance Metrics

Our key performance metrics are net revenue, operating income, adjusted EBITDA, and cash flows from operations, which are discussed elsewhere in this report.

Class V Transaction

On December 28, 2018, we completed a transaction (“Class V transaction”) in which we paid $14.0 billion in cash and issued 149,387,617 shares of our Class C Common Stock to holders of our Class V Common Stock in exchange for all outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock. The non-cash consideration portion of the Class V transaction totaled $6.9 billion. As a result of the Class V transaction, the tracking stock feature of Dell Technologies’ capital structure was terminated. The Class C Common Stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

VMware, Inc. Ownership

On July 15, 2020, we announced that we are exploring potential alternatives with respect to our ownership in VMware, Inc., including a potential spin-off of that ownership interest to Dell Technologies’ stockholders. Although this process is currently only at an exploratory stage, we believe a spin-off could benefit both Dell Technologies’ and VMware, Inc.’s stockholders by simplifying capital structures and enhancing strategic flexibility, while still maintaining a mutually beneficial strategic and commercial partnership. Any potential spin-off would not occur prior to September 2021. Other strategic options include maintaining the status quo with respect to our ownership interest in VMware, Inc.

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 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; earnings before interest and other, net, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“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~~Management considers these non-GAAP measures in evaluating our ~~GAAP results allows management to better understand our consolidated financial performance from period to period~~operating trends 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.~~performance. Moreover, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide our stakeholders with useful and transparent 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, as defined by us, exclude amortization of intangible assets, the impact of purchase accounting, transaction-related expenses, stock-based compensation expense, other corporate expenses and, for non-GAAP net income, fair value adjustments on equity adjustments and 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. The discussion below includes 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.

Revenue Reclassification — During Fiscal 2020, Dell Technologies made certain reclassifications of net revenue between the products and services categories on the Consolidated Statement of Net Income (Loss), which impacted previously reported amounts for the third quarter and first ~~quarter~~nine months of Fiscal 2020. The reclassifications were made to provide a more meaningful representation of the nature of certain service and software-as-a-service offerings of VMware, Inc. The reclassifications resulted in an increase to services revenue and an equal and offsetting decrease to product revenue of ~~$179~~$210 million and $584 million for the third quarter and first ~~quarter~~nine months of Fiscal ~~2020.~~2020, respectively. Total net revenue as previously reported remains unchanged. The Company did not recast cost of goods sold for the related revenue reclassifications due to immateriality.

Table of Contents

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

•

~~Amortization of Intangible Assets~~—Amortization of intangible assets primarily consists of amortization of customer relationships, developed technology, and trade names. In connection with our acquisition by merger of EMC on September 7, 2016, referred to as 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 Accounting~~—The impact of purchase accounting includes purchase accounting adjustments related to the EMC merger transaction and, to a lesser extent, the going-private transaction, recorded under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations. This guidance prescribes that the purchase price be allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair value of such assets and liabilities on the date of the transaction. Accordingly, all of the assets and liabilities acquired in the EMC merger transaction and the going-private transaction were accounted for and recognized at fair value as of the respective transaction dates, and the fair value adjustments are being amortized over the estimated useful lives in the periods following the transactions. The fair value adjustments primarily relate to deferred revenue, inventory, and property, plant, and equipment. Although the purchase accounting adjustments and related amortization of those adjustments are reflected in our GAAP results, 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.

•

~~Transaction-related Expenses~~ — Transaction-related expenses typically 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. During both the first quarter of Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, transaction expenses related to VMware, Inc. acquisitions. From time to time, this category also may include transaction-related gains on divestitures of businesses or asset sales. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, we recognized a gain of $120 million on the sale of certain intellectual property assets. We exclude these items 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.

•

~~Stock-based Compensation Expense~~— Stock-based compensation expense consists of equity awards granted based on the estimated fair value of those awards at grant date. We estimate the fair value of service-based stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model. To estimate the fair value of performance-based awards containing a market condition, we use the Monte Carlo valuation model. For all other share-based awards, the fair value is based on the closing price of the Class C Common Stock as reported on the NYSE on the date of grant. Although stock-based compensation is an important aspect of the compensation of our employees and executives, the fair value of the stock-based awards may bear little resemblance to the actual value realized upon the vesting or future exercise of the related stock-based awards. We believe that excluding stock-based compensation expense 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.

•

~~Other Corporate Expenses~~— Other corporate expenses consists primarily of severance, facility action, and other costs. Severance costs are primarily related to severance and benefits for employees terminated pursuant to cost savings initiatives. We continue to integrate owned and leased facilities and may incur additional costs as we seek opportunities for operational efficiencies. 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.

•Amortization of Intangible Assets—Amortization of intangible assets primarily consists of amortization of customer relationships, developed technology, and trade names. In connection with our acquisition by merger of EMC on September 7, 2016, referred to as 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.

These expenses primarily represent costs for legal, banking, consulting, and advisory services. From time to time, this category also may include transaction-related gains on divestitures of businesses or asset sales. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, we recognized a gain of $120 million on the sale of certain intellectual property assets. During the third quarter of Fiscal 2021, we recognized a pre-tax gain of $338 million on the sale of RSA Security. We exclude these items 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. See Note 1 and Note 8 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the divestiture of RSA Security and acquisitions by VMware, Inc., respectively.

•Stock-based Compensation Expense— Stock-based compensation expense consists of equity awards granted based on the estimated fair value of those awards at grant date. We estimate the fair value of service-based stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model. To estimate the fair value of performance-based awards containing a market condition, we use the Monte Carlo valuation model. For all other share-based awards, the fair value is based on the closing price of the Class C Common Stock as reported on the NYSE on the date of grant. Although stock-based compensation is an important aspect of the compensation of our employees and executives, the fair value of the stock-based awards may bear little resemblance to the actual value realized upon the vesting or future exercise of the related stock-based awards.

meaningful evaluation of our current operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance. During the first nine months of Fiscal 2020, this category included Virtustream gross impairment charges of $619 million.

•

•Fair Value Adjustments on Equity Investments — Fair value adjustments on equity investments primarily consists of the gain (loss) on strategic investments, which includes the recurring fair value adjustments of investments in publicly-traded companies, as well as those in privately-held companies, which are adjusted for observable price changes and, to a lesser extent, any potential impairments. During the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2021, this category included an unrealized gain of $465 million related to one of our strategic investments. See Note 3 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our strategic investment activity. Given the volatility in the ongoing adjustments to the valuation of these strategic investments, we believe that excluding these gains and losses for purposes of calculating non-GAAP net income 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, as well as an adjustment for discrete tax items. Due to the variability in recognition of discrete tax items from period to period, we believe that excluding these benefits or charges for purposes of calculating non-GAAP net income facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of our current operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance. The tax effects are determined based on the tax jurisdictions where the above items were incurred. See Note 11 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about our income taxes, including discrete tax items.

In addition to the above measures, we also use EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to provide additional information for evaluation of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA excludes purchase accounting adjustments related to the EMC merger transaction and the going-private transaction, acquisition, integration, and divestiture related costs, severance, facility action, and other 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.

The table below presents a reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to net income for the periods indicated:

The Company did not recast cost of goods sold for the related revenue reclassifications due to immateriality. The reclassifications resulted in an increase to services revenue and an equal and offsetting decrease to product revenue of $210 million and $584 million for the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2020, respectively. Total net revenue as previously reported remains unchanged.

Overview

During the third quarter and first ~~quarter~~nine months of Fiscal 2021, ~~both~~ our net revenue increased 3% and ~~non-GAAP net revenue~~ remained flat, respectively, as we benefited from the strength of our broad technology solutions portfolio, which helped us navigate market volatility and competitive pressures, particularly due to the COVID-19 environment. During the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2021, our non-GAAP net revenue also increased 3% and remained flat, respectively. Increases in CSG and VMware net revenue ~~increased,~~were offset by a decline in ISG net ~~revenue.~~revenue for both the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2021. The increase in CSG net revenue was primarily driven by ~~increased~~growth in consumer solutions and continued strong demand for ~~work and learn from home solutions, particularly~~ commercial ~~notebooks.~~notebooks, partially offset by lower demand for commercial desktops. VMware net revenue increased due to ~~broad-based strength across the portfolio, including~~ growth in sales of subscriptions and software-as-a-service offerings and software license revenue, new contracts and renewals of VMware enterprise agreements, maintenance contracts sold in previous periods, and additional maintenance contracts sold in conjunction with new software license sales.maintenance. ISG net revenue decreased primarily due to a weaker demand environment as customers ~~shifted~~continued to direct their investments intowards remote work ~~solutions as part of~~and business continuity ~~plans.~~solutions. Although we are in the midst of unprecedented uncertainty as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we believe we are well-positioned for long-term profitable growth while also maintaining the ability to adjust as needed to changing market conditions with complementary solutions across all segments of our business, an agile workforce, and the strength of our global supply chain.

During the third quarter and first ~~quarter~~nine months of Fiscal 2021, our operating income increased ~~28% to $702 million due to an increase~~35% and 56%, respectively, primarily driven by lower selling, general, and administrative expenses as we realized the benefit of cost reduction initiatives. During the third quarter of Fiscal 2021, operating income benefited from increases in operating income for CSG and VMware, and a decrease in amortization of intangible assets. These benefits were partially offset by a decrease in operating income for ISG and increases in stock-based compensation expense and severance costs. During the first nine months of Fiscal 2021, the increase in operating income was primarily attributable to the absence of Virtustream impairment charges of $619 million recognized in the first nine months of Fiscal 2020. Operating income for the first nine months of Fiscal 2021 also benefited from increases in operating income for VMware and other businesses and a decrease in amortization of intangible assets. These benefits were partially offset by decreases in operating income for CSG and ISG and ~~an increase~~increases in stock-based compensation ~~expense.~~expense and severance costs.

Amortization of intangible assets, ~~and~~ stock-based compensation expense, and other corporate expenses that impacted our operating income totaled ~~$1.2~~$1.5 billion and ~~$1.5~~$1.4 billion for the third quarter of Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, respectively, and $4.2 billion and $5.0 billion for the first ~~quarter~~nine months of Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, respectively. Excluding these costs, and the impact of purchase accounting ~~transaction-related expenses,~~ and ~~other corporate~~transaction-related expenses, our non-GAAP operating income ~~was $2.2 billion~~increased 12% and 2% during ~~both~~ the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2021, respectively. The 12% increase in non-GAAP operating income during the third quarter of Fiscal 2021 ~~and Fiscal 2020. Our non-GAAP operating income decreased 2 percent for the first quarter of Fiscal 2021~~was due to ~~decreases~~increases in operating income for ~~ISG~~CSG and ~~CSG,~~VMware, which were partially offset by a decrease in operating income for ISG.

•Services — During the third quarter of Fiscal 2021, services gross margin increased 8% to $3.7 billion, and services gross margin percentage decreased 90 basis points to 60.3%. Services gross margin increased due to growth in VMware software maintenance and CSG third-party software and maintenance, particularly subscription-based licenses, as well as a decrease in purchase accounting adjustments. Excluding purchase accounting adjustments, transaction-related expenses, stock-based compensation expense, and other corporate expenses, non-GAAP services gross margin increased 8% to $3.8 billion during the third quarter of Fiscal 2021 primarily due to growth in VMware software maintenance and CSG third-party software and maintenance, and in particular, increases in subscription-based licenses.

During the third quarter of Fiscal 2021, services gross margin percentage decreased 90 basis points to 60.3% and non-GAAP services gross margin percentage decreased 60 basis points to 61.8%. These decreases were driven by decreases in services gross margin percentage for CSG, partially offset by increases in services gross margin percentages for VMware and ISG.

— During the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, product gross margin decreased 7% to $3.2 billion, and product gross margin percentage decreased 90 basis points to 20.2%. The decreases in product gross margin and product gross margin percentage were primarily driven by component costs that were deflationary in the aggregate for ISG and CSG (although to a lesser extent than in the first quarter of Fiscal 2020) and increased supply chain costs to expedite product delivery for CSG sales. These unfavorable impacts were partially offset by a decrease in amortization of intangibles. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, non-GAAP product gross margin decreased 10% to $3.6 billion, and non-GAAP product gross margin percentage decreased 170 basis points to 22.6% due to the same ISG and CSG dynamics discussed above.

~~Services~~ — During the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, services gross margin increased 10% to $3.6 billion, and services gross margin percentage decreased 10 basis points to 61.8%. Services gross margin increased due to growth in VMware software maintenance and a decrease in purchase accounting adjustments. Excluding purchase accounting adjustments, transaction-related expenses, stock-based compensation expense, and other corporate expenses, non-GAAP services gross margin increased 9% to $3.7 billion primarily due to growth in VMware software maintenance. Non-GAAP services gross margin percentage decreased 20 basis points to 62.8% due to a decline in ISG services gross margin percentage, which was partially offset by an increase in VMware services gross margin percentage.

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.

Table of Contents

The terms and conditions of our vendor rebate programs are largely based on product volumes and are generally negotiated either at the beginning of the annual or quarterly period, depending on the program. The timing and amount of vendor rebates and other discounts we receive under the programs may vary from period to period, reflecting changes in the competitive environment. We monitor our component costs and seek to address the effects of any changes to terms that might arise under our vendor rebate programs. Our gross margins for the third quarter and first ~~quarter~~nine months of Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020 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.

During the third quarter and first ~~quarter~~nine months of Fiscal 2021, total operating expenses decreased 2%3% and 5%, respectively, primarily due to a decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses, offset partially by an increase in research and development expenses. Our operating expenses include amortization of intangible assets, the impact of purchase accounting, transaction-related expenses, stock-based compensation expense, and other corporate expenses. In aggregate, these items totaled $1.1 billion and $1.0 billion for ~~both~~ the ~~first~~third quarter of Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal ~~2020.~~2020, respectively, and $3.1 billion and $3.5 billion for the first nine months of Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, respectively. Excluding these costs, total non-GAAP operating expenses decreased 1%5% and 4% for the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2021, respectively.

•Selling, General, and Administrative — Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased 5% and 8%, respectively, during the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2021. The decreases in SG&A expenses were primarily due to measures taken as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which included global hiring limitations, reduction in consulting and contractor costs, global travel restrictions, suspension of the Dell 401(k) match program for U.S. employees, and lower facilities-related costs, as well as to a decrease in amortization of intangible assets. With respect to our cost reduction initiatives, we expect that some of the benefits which we recognized during the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2021 will phase out over time. These favorable impacts to SG&A expenses were partially offset by increases in stock-based compensation expense and severance costs during the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2021. Additionally, during the first nine months of Fiscal 2021, the decrease in SG&A expenses reflected the absence of Virtustream impairment charges of $619 million recognized in the first nine months of Fiscal 2020.

•Research and Development — Research and development (“R&D”) expenses are primarily composed of personnel-related expenses related to product development. R&D expenses as a percentage of net revenue were approximately 5.8% and 5.5% for the third quarter of Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, respectively, and 5.7% and 5.4% for the first ~~quarter~~nine months of Fiscal ~~2021.~~2021 and Fiscal 2020, respectively. R&D expenses as a percentage of net revenue increased during the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2021 primarily due to an increase in compensation-related expense, including stock-based compensation expense, driven by VMware. As our industry continues to change and as the needs of our customers evolve, we intend to support R&D initiatives to innovate and introduce new and enhanced solutions into the market.

Income and Other Taxes

For the third quarter of Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, our effective income tax rates were 37.2% on pre-tax income of $1.4 billion and -247.2% on pre-tax income of $159 million, respectively. For the first nine months of Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, our effective income tax rates were -6.1% on pre-tax income of $2.0 billion and 5482.1% on pre-tax losses of $95 million, respectively. The changes in our effective income tax rates were primarily driven by discrete tax items and changes in our jurisdictional mix of income.

For the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2021, our effective income tax rates include a discrete tax expense of $359 million related to the divestiture of RSA Security during the period. Our effective income tax rate for the first nine months of Fiscal 2021 also includes discrete tax benefits of $746 million related to an audit settlement and $59 million from an intra-entity asset transfer of certain of Pivotal’s intellectual property to an Irish subsidiary that was ~~-33.8% on pre-tax income of $136 million.~~completed by VMware, Inc. For the first ~~quarter~~nine months of Fiscal 2020, our effective income tax rate was 330.1% on pre-tax losses of $143 million. The change in our effective tax rate was primarily driven by discrete tax items and a change in our jurisdictional mix of income. Our effective tax rates includeincludes discrete tax benefits of ~~$59 million and $405 million resulting from~~$4.9 billion related to similar intra-entity asset ~~transfers of certain of our intellectual property to Irish subsidiaries for the first quarter of Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, respectively.~~transfers. The tax benefit for each intra-entity asset transfer was recorded as a deferred tax asset in the period of the transaction and represents the book and tax basis difference on the transferred assets measured based on the applicable Irish statutory tax rate. We applied significant judgment when determining the fair value of the intellectual property, which serves as the tax basis of the deferred tax asset, and in evaluating the associated tax laws in the applicable jurisdictions. The tax deductions for amortization of the assets will be recognized in the future, and any amortization not deducted for tax purposes will be carried forward indefinitely under Irish tax laws. We expect to be able to realize the deferred tax assets resulting from these intra-entity asset transfers. Our effective income tax rates for the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2020 also include discrete tax benefits of $305 million related to an audit settlement.

Our effective income tax rate can fluctuate depending on the geographic distribution of our worldwide 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, differences between the book and tax treatment of certain items, and the discrete tax items discussed above. 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 relates to a tax holiday that will be effective until January 31, 2029. Our other tax holidays will expire in whole or in part during Fiscal 2022 through Fiscal 2030. 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. As of ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020, we were not aware of any matters of non-compliance related to these tax holidays. The effective income tax rate for future quarters of Fiscal 2021 may be impacted by the actual mix of jurisdictions in which income is generated.

ISG customers are interested in new and innovative models that address how they consume our solutions. We offer options including as-a-service, utility, leases, and immediate pay models, all designed to match customers’ consumption and financing preferences. Our multi-year agreements typically result in recurring revenue streams over the term of the arrangement. We expect our flexible consumption models will further strengthen our customer relationships and provide a foundation for growth in recurring revenue.

Net Revenue — VMware net revenue, inclusive of Pivotal, primarily consists of revenue from the sale of software licenses under perpetual licenses and subscription and software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) offerings, as well as related software maintenance services, support, training, consulting services, and hosted services. VMware net revenue for the third quarter and first ~~quarter~~nine months of Fiscal 2021 increased ~~12%~~8% and 10%, respectively, primarily due to growth in sales of subscriptions and SaaS offerings, as well as an increase in sales of software maintenance services. Growth in sales of subscriptions and SaaS offerings was primarily driven by increased demand for hybrid cloud offerings and digital workspaces. Software maintenance revenue benefited from ~~new contracts and renewals of VMware enterprise agreements, revenue recognized from~~ maintenance contracts sold in ~~prior periods, and additional maintenance contracts sold in conjunction with new software license sales.~~previous periods.

From a geographical perspective, approximately half of VMware net revenue during the third quarter and first ~~quarter~~nine months of Fiscal 2021 was generated by sales to customers in the United States. VMware net revenue for the third quarter and first ~~quarter~~nine months of Fiscal 2021 increased in both the United States and internationally.

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 ~~$10.8~~$11.4 billion and $12.5 billion as of ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020 and January 31, 2020, respectively. We maintain an allowance for expected credit losses to cover receivables that may be deemed uncollectible. The allowance for expected credit losses is an estimate based on an analysis of historical loss experience, current receivables aging, and management’s assessment of current conditions and reasonable and supportable expectation of future conditions, as well as specific identifiable customer accounts that are deemed at risk. Our analysis includes assumptions regarding the impact of COVID-19 and continued market volatility, which is highly uncertain and subject to significant judgment. Given this uncertainty, our allowance for expected credit losses in future periods may vary from our current estimates. As of ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020 and January 31, 2020, the allowance for expected credit losses was ~~$144~~$115 million and $94 million, respectively. Allowance for expected credit losses of trade receivables as of ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020 includes the impact of adoption of the new current expected credit losses (“CECL”) standard, which was adopted as of February 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective method. Based on our assessment, we believe that we are adequately reserved for expected credit losses. We will continue to monitor the aging of our accounts receivable and take actions, where necessary, to reduce our exposure to credit losses.

Dell Financial Services

Dell Financial Services and its affiliates (“DFS”) support Dell Technologies by offering and arranging various financing options and services for our customers globally, including through captive financing operations in North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. DFS originates, collects, and services customer receivables primarily related to the purchase of our product, software, and service solutions. DFS further strengthens our customer relationships through its flexible consumption models, which enable us to offer our customers the option to pay over time and, in certain cases, based on utilization, to provide them with financial flexibility to meet their changing technological requirements. New financing originations were ~~$1.8~~$2.1 billion and ~~$1.7~~$2.0 billion for the ~~first~~third quarter of Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, ~~respectively. In response to~~respectively, and $6.5 billion and $5.7 billion for the ~~COVID-19 pandemic, we are focused on supporting our customers~~first nine months of Fiscal 2021 and intend to provide up to $9 billion in financing support by offering low or zero percent interest rate programs as well as payment deferral options. The financial impact to DFS and our securitization and structured financing programs is not expected to be material.Fiscal 2020, respectively.

Pursuant to the current lease accounting standard effective February 2, 2019, new DFS leases are classified as sales-type leases, direct financing leases, or operating leases. Amounts due from lessees under sales-type leases or direct financing leases are recorded as part of financing receivables, with interest income recognized over the contract term. On commencement of sales-type leases, we typically qualify for up-front revenue recognition. On originations of operating leases, we record equipment under operating leases, classified as property, plant, and equipment, and recognize rental revenue and depreciation expense, classified as cost of net revenue, over the contract term. Direct financing leases are immaterial. Leases that commenced prior to the effective date of the current lease accounting standard continue to be accounted for under previous lease accounting guidance.

As of ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020 and January 31, 2020, our financing receivables, net were ~~$9.5~~$10.2 billion and $9.7 billion, respectively.We maintain an allowance to cover expected financing receivable credit losses and evaluate credit loss expectations based on our total portfolio. Allowance for expected credit losses of financing receivables as of ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020 includes the impact of adoption of the CECL standard referred to above. Our analysis includes assumptions regarding the impact of COVID-19 and continued market volatility, which is highly uncertain and subject to significant judgment. Given this uncertainty, our allowance for expected credit losses in future periods may vary from our current estimates. For ~~both~~ the ~~first~~third quarter of Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, the principal charge-off rate for our ~~total~~financing receivables portfolio was 0.7% and 0.9%, respectively. For the first nine months of Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, the principal charge-off rate for our financing receivables portfolio was 0.9% and 1.0%., 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 continued to increase. 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 without recourse 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.

We retain a residual interest in equipment leased under our lease programs. As of ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020 and January 31, 2020, the residual interest recorded as part of financing receivables was ~~$551~~$472 million and $582 million, respectively. The amount of the residual interest is established at the inception of the lease based upon estimates of the value of the equipment at the end of the lease term using historical studies, industry data, and future value-at-risk demand valuation methods. On a quarterly basis, we assess the carrying amount of our recorded residual values for impairment. Generally, residual value risk on equipment under lease is not considered to be significant, because of the existence of a secondary market with respect to the equipment. The lease agreement also clearly defines applicable return conditions and remedies for non-compliance, to ensure that the leased equipment will be in good operating condition upon return. Model changes and updates, as well as market strength and product acceptance, are monitored and adjustments are made to residual values in accordance with the significance of any such changes. Our remarketing sales staff works closely with customers and dealers to manage the sale of lease returns and the recovery of residual exposure. No impairment losses were recorded related to residual assets during the third quarter and first ~~quarter~~nine months of Fiscal ~~2021.~~2021 and Fiscal 2020.

As of ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020 and January 31, 2020, equipment under operating leases, net was ~~$975 million~~$1.3 billion and ~~$840 million,~~$0.8 billion, respectively. Based on triggering events, we assess the carrying amount of the equipment under operating leases recorded for impairment. No material impairment losses were recorded related to such equipment during the third quarter and first ~~quarter~~nine months of Fiscal ~~2021.~~2021 and Fiscal 2020.

See Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information about our financing receivables and the associated allowances, and the equipment under operating leases.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

MARKET CONDITIONS, LIQUIDITY, AND CAPITAL COMMITMENTS

Market Conditions

We regularly monitor economic conditions and associated impacts on the financial markets and our business. We consistently evaluate the financial health of our supplier base, carefully manage customer credit, diversify counterparty risk, and monitor the concentration risk of our cash and cash equivalents balances globally. We routinely monitor our financial exposure to borrowers and counterparties.

We monitor credit risk associated with our financial counterparties using various market credit risk indicators such as credit ratings issued by nationally recognized credit 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 7 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 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 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.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.

In this unprecedented environment resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, we are taking actions to ~~increase~~strengthen our cash position and preserve financial ~~flexibility. In March 2020, as previously reported, we drew $3.0 billion under~~flexibility, while continuing to prioritize our debt paydown target for the Revolving Credit Facility as a precautionary measure given the uncertainty in the global markets, which we repaid during the quarter. Additionally, we accessed the debt markets in the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, in which we issued $2.25 billion aggregate principal amount of First Lien Notes and VMware, Inc. issued $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes. The proceeds from the issuance of these notes are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, including planned repayment of upcoming debt maturities. Subsequent to the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, VMware, Inc. repaid $1.25 billion principal amount of its 2.30% Notes due August 2020.fiscal year.

borrowings outstanding under the facility and remaining available borrowings totaled approximately $4.5 billion. Subsequent to the first quarter of Fiscal 2021 on May 25, 2020, we entered into a new revolving credit facility for China (the “China Revolving Credit Facility”). The new terms provide for collateralized and non-collateralized principal amounts not to exceed $1.0 billion Chinese renminbi and $1.8 billion Chinese renminbi, respectively, or equivalent amounts in U.S. dollars. We may regularly use our available borrowings from ~~both~~ our ~~Revolving Credit Facility and our China~~ Revolving Credit Facility on a short-term basis for general corporate purposes. ~~See Note 19 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information about the new China Revolving Credit Facility.~~

The VMware Revolving Credit Facility has a maximum capacity of $1.0 billion. As of ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020, $1.0 billion was available under the VMware Revolving Credit Facility. The VMware Term Loan Facility had a borrowing capacity of up to $2.0 billion through February 7, 2020. As of May 1, 2020, the outstanding borrowings under the VMware Term Loan Facility were $1.5 billion, with no remaining amount available for additional borrowings. None of the net proceeds of borrowings under the VMware Revolving Credit ~~Facility or the VMware Term Loan~~ Facility will be made available to support the operations or satisfy any corporate purposes of Dell Technologies, other than the operations and corporate purposes of VMware, Inc. and VMware, Inc.’s subsidiaries.

See Note 6 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information about each of the foregoing revolving credit facilities.

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

During the first ~~quarter~~nine months of Fiscal 2021, the outstanding principal amount of our debt ~~increased~~decreased by ~~$4.7~~$2.3 billion to ~~$57.3~~$50.4 billion as of ~~May 1, 2020.~~

~~During the first quarter~~October 30, 2020, primarily driven by net repayments of ~~Fiscal 2021, our~~ core debt ~~increased~~and VMware, Inc. debt, partially offset by ~~$2.8 billion to $36.6 billion as of May 1, 2020.~~ a net increase in DFS debt.

We define core debt as the total principal amount of our debt, less DFS related debt, our Margin Loan Facility and other debt, and public subsidiary debt. ~~The increase in~~Our core debt was ~~primarily~~$31.4 billion as of October 30, 2020. During the first nine months of Fiscal 2021, the decrease in our core debt was driven by principal repayments. Proceeds of $2.082 billion from the sale of RSA Security were used to pay down core debt. Principal repayments included the retirement in full of $4.5 billion principal amount

of 4.42% First Lien Notes due toJune 2021, repayment of $600 million principal amount of 2.650% EMC Notes due June 2020 upon maturity, and repayment of approximately $229 million of term loan facilities. These repayments were partially offset by the issuance of multiple series of First Lien Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $2.25 billion on April 9, 2020. See Note 6 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for more information about our debt. ~~The change in DFS allocated~~

There are no scheduled maturities of core debt ~~also contributed~~for the remainder Fiscal 2021, although we intend to ~~the increase, and is discussed further below.~~continue making core debt principal payments as part of our overall capital allocation strategy.

During the first ~~quarter~~nine months of Fiscal 2021, we issued an additional ~~$0.5~~$1.4 billion, net, in DFS debt to support the expansion of our financing receivables ~~portfolio.~~portfolio, which includes the issuance of 500 million Euro of senior unsecured eurobonds on June 24, 2020. DFS related debt primarily represents debt from our securitization and structured financing programs. The majority of DFS debt is non-recourse to Dell Technologies and represents borrowings under securitization programs and structured financing programs, for which our risk of loss is limited to transferred lease and loan payments and associated equipment, and under which the credit holders have no recourse to Dell Technologies.

To fund expansion of the DFS business, we balance the use of the securitization and structured 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 the sum of our financing receivables balance and equipment under our DFS operating leases, net. The debt to equity ratio used is based on the underlying credit quality of the assets. See Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for more information about our DFS debt.

As of ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020, margin loan and other debt primarily consisted of the $4.0 billion Margin Loan Facility.

~~Table of Contents~~

Debt of public subsidiary represents VMware, Inc. indebtedness. The ~~increase~~decrease in debt of public subsidiary during the first ~~quarter~~nine months of Fiscal 2021 was due to principal repayments by VMware, Inc. of $1.25 billion principal amount of its 2.30% Notes due August 2020 and $1.5 billion principal amount of the VMware Term Loan Facility. These repayments were partially offset by the issuance of VMware Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $2.0 billion on April 7, 2020. See Note 6 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for more information about VMware, Inc. debt.

VMware, Inc. and its respective subsidiaries are unrestricted subsidiaries for purposes of the core 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 or the VMware Term Loan Facility. None of the net proceeds of the VMware Notes or, as discussed above, the VMware Term Loan Facility 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 on our core debt increased significantly due to the borrowings we incurred to finance the EMC merger transaction and, to a lesser extent, the Class V transaction. We have made good progress in paying down core debt since the EMC merger transaction. We believe we will continue to be able to make our debt principal and interest payments, including the short-term maturities, from existing and expected sources of cash, primarily from operating cash flows. Cash used for debt principal and interest payments may also include short-term borrowings under our revolving credit facilities. We will continue to focus on paying down core debt. Under our variable-rate debt, we could have variations in our future interest expense from potential fluctuations in LIBOR, or from possible fluctuations in the level of DFS debt required to meet future demand for customer financing.

We or our affiliates or their related persons, 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.

Operating Activities — Cash ~~used in~~provided by operating activities was ~~$0.8~~$5.5 billion for the first ~~quarter~~nine months of Fiscal 2021 compared to ~~cash provided by operating activities of $0.7~~$5.8 billion for the first ~~quarter~~nine months of Fiscal 2020. ~~The decrease in operating~~Operating cash flows declined slightly during the first ~~quarter~~nine months of Fiscal 2021 as the strong profitability during the period was ~~attributable to~~offset by unfavorable working capital impacts ~~related to the COVID-19 pandemic on~~of an increase in inventory, decline in growth rate of deferred revenue, and timing of ~~collections~~purchases and ~~maintenance of higher inventory levels for continuity of supply, most of which we expect~~payments to vendors. COVID-19 impacts to working capital continued to normalize ~~by fiscal year-end.~~

~~Cash flow from operating activities~~ during the ~~first~~third quarter of ~~the fiscal year is typically lower due to parts of Dell Technologies’ business being subject to seasonal sales trends as well as timing of annual personnel-related payments.~~Fiscal 2021.

DFS offerings are initially funded through cash on hand at the time of origination, most of which is subsequently replaced with third-party financing. For DFS offerings which qualify as sales-type leases, the initial funding of financing receivables is reflected as an impact to cash flows from operations, and is largely subsequently offset by cash proceeds from financing. For DFS operating leases, which have increased under the current leasing standard, the initial funding is classified as a capital expenditure and reflected as cash flows used in investing activities. DFS new financing originations were ~~$1.8~~$6.5 billion and ~~$1.7~~$5.7 billion during the first ~~quarter~~nine months of Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, respectively. As of ~~May 1,~~October 30, 2020, DFS had ~~$9.5~~$10.2 billion of total net financing receivables and ~~$1.0~~$1.3 billion of equipment under DFS operating leases, net.

~~Table of Contents~~

Investing Activities — Investing activities primarily consist of cash used to fund capital expenditures for property, plant, and equipment, which includes equipment under DFS operating leases, capitalized software development costs, strategic investments, and the maturities, sales, and purchases of investments. During the first nine months of Fiscal 2021, cash provided by investing activities was $26 million and was primarily driven by net cash proceeds from the divestiture of RSA Security during the the third quarter of Fiscal 2021, largely offset by capital expenditures and acquisitions of businesses. In comparison, cash used in investing activities was $485 million and was primarily driven by capital expenditures, which were partially offset by net cash proceeds from the sale of certain intellectual property assets. In comparison, cash used by investing activities was $458 million$4.0 billion during the first ~~quarter~~nine months of Fiscal 2020 and was primarily driven by capital expenditures and acquisition of businesses, which were partially offset by net cash proceeds from the net sales of strategic investments.

Financing Activities — Financing activities primarily consist of the proceeds and repayments of debt, cash used to repurchase common stock, and proceeds from the issuance of common stock. Cash ~~provided by~~used in financing activities of ~~$4.3~~$3.5 billion during the first ~~quarter~~nine months of Fiscal 2021 primarily consisted of debt repayments and repurchases of common stock by our public subsidiaries, partially offset by cash proceeds from the issuances of multiple series of First Lien Notes ~~in an aggregate principal amount of $2.25 billion~~ and VMware ~~Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $2.0 billion, as discussed above.~~Notes. In comparison, cash used byin financing activities of ~~$719 million~~$2.6 billion during the first ~~quarter~~nine months of Fiscal 2020 primarily consisted of repayments of debt and repurchases of common stock ofby our public subsidiaries.

Capital Commitments

Capital Expenditures — During the first ~~quarter~~nine months of Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, we spent ~~$0.5~~$1.4 billion and ~~$0.6~~$1.6 billion, respectively, on property, plant, and equipment. These expenditures were incurred in connection with our global expansion efforts and infrastructure investments made to support future growth, and the funding of equipment under DFS operating leases. During the first ~~quarter~~nine months of Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, funding of gross equipment under DFS operating leases was ~~$0.2~~$0.6 billion and ~~$0.3~~$0.7 billion, respectively. 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 2021 are currently expected to ~~total between $2.3 billion and $2.5~~be approximately $1.9 billion, of which approximately ~~$1.0~~$0.8 billion is expected for equipment under DFS operating leases.

Purchase Obligations — Purchase obligations are defined as contractual obligations to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding on us. These obligations specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum, or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. Purchase obligations do not include contracts that may be canceled without penalty.

We utilize several suppliers to manufacture sub-assemblies for our products. Our efficient supply chain management allows us to enter into flexible and mutually beneficial purchase arrangements with our suppliers in order to minimize inventory risk. Consistent with industry practice, we acquire raw materials or other goods and services, including product components, by issuing to suppliers authorizations to purchase based on our projected demand and manufacturing needs. These purchase orders are typically fulfilled within 30 days and are entered into during the ordinary course of business in order to establish best pricing and continuity of supply for our production.
