Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Overview and Basis of Presentation | Overview and Basis of Presentation Company and Background VMware, Inc. (“VMware” or the “Company”) originally pioneered the development and application of virtualization technologies with x86 server-based computing, separating application software from the underlying hardware. Information technology (“IT”) driven innovation continues to disrupt markets and industries. Technologies emerge faster than organizations can absorb, creating increasingly complex environments. IT is working at an accelerated pace to harness new technologies, platforms and cloud models, ultimately guiding businesses through a digital transformation. To take on these challenges, VMware is working with customers in the areas of hybrid and multi-cloud, modern applications, networking, security and digital workspaces. VMware’s software provides a flexible digital foundation to enable customers in their digital transformations. Accounting Principles The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Retrospective Combination of Historical Financial Statements In December 2019, VMware completed the acquisition of Pivotal, which was, at the time, a subsidiary of VMware’s parent company, Dell Technologies Inc. (“Dell”). The purchase of the controlling interest in Pivotal from Dell was accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805-50, Business Combination - Related Issues, which requires retrospective combination of entities for all periods presented, as if the combination had been in effect since the inception of common control. The condensed consolidated financial statements of VMware and notes thereto are presented on a combined basis, as both VMware and Pivotal were under common control for all periods presented. Of the total amount of consideration for the acquisition of the non-controlling interest in Pivotal, $155 million was recognized in accrued expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2020 for amounts potentially owed to dissenting stockholders. During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, VMware paid $91 million to dissenting stockholders of Pivotal, representing a portion of the amount accrued as of January 31, 2020 . Unaudited Interim Financial Information The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals, for a fair statement of VMware’s condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. Results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year 2021. Certain information and footnote disclosures typically included in annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in VMware’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 26, 2020. Effective September 7, 2016, Dell (formerly Denali Holding Inc.) acquired EMC Corporation (“EMC”), VMware’s parent company, including EMC’s majority control of VMware. As of October 30, 2020 , Dell controlled 80.4% of VMware’s outstanding common stock and 97.4% of the combined voting power of VMware’s outstanding common stock, including 31 million shares of VMware’s Class A common stock and all of VMware’s Class B common stock. As VMware is a majority-owned and controlled subsidiary of Dell, its results of operations and financial position are consolidated with Dell’s financial statements. Management believes the assumptions underlying the condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable. However, the amounts recorded for VMware’s related party transactions with Dell and its consolidated subsidiaries may not be considered arm’s length with an unrelated third party. Therefore, the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein may not necessarily reflect the results of operations, financial position and cash flows had VMware engaged in such transactions with an unrelated third party during all periods presented. Accordingly, VMware’s historical financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows will be in the future, if and when VMware contracts at arm’s length with unrelated third parties for products and services the Company receives from and provides to Dell. Principles of Consolidation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of VMware and subsidiaries in which VMware has a controlling financial interest. The portion of results of operations attributable to the non-controlling interests for Pivotal prior to the acquisition was included in net loss attributable to non-controlling interests on the condensed consolidated statements of income for the periods presented. As part of the acquisition of Pivotal, VMware acquired the non-controlling interests in Pivotal from the holders of Pivotal Class A common stock, and has held 100% of the controlling financial interest in Pivotal since December 2019. The cumulative portion of the results of operations and changes in the net assets of Pivotal attributable to the non-controlling interests through the acquisition date were reclassified to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2020. All intercompany transactions and account balances between VMware and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. Transactions with Dell and its consolidated subsidiaries are generally settled in cash and are classified on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows based upon the nature of the underlying transaction. Use of Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, trade receivable valuation, marketing development funds, expected period of benefit for deferred commissions, useful lives assigned to fixed assets and intangible assets, valuation of goodwill and definite-lived intangibles, income taxes, stock-based compensation and contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty and therefore require increased judgment. These estimates and assumptions may change in future periods and will be recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements as new events occur and additional information becomes known. To the extent the Company’s actual results differ materially from those estimates and assumptions, VMware’s future financial statements could be affected. Income Taxes VMware’s quarterly effective income tax rate is based on the Company’s estimated annual income tax rate forecast and discrete tax items recognized in the period. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company completed an intra-group transfer of certain of Pivotal’s intellectual property rights (the “IP”) to the Company’s Irish subsidiary, resulting in a discrete tax benefit of $59 million recognized with a deferred tax asset. This deferred tax asset was recognized as a result of the book and tax basis difference on the IP transferred and was based on the IP’s current fair value. During the second quarter of fiscal 2020, a discrete tax benefit of $4.9 billion was recognized with a deferred tax asset due to an intra-group transfer of certain of the Company’s intellectual property rights to its Irish subsidiary. During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, certain statutes of limitations expired, which resulted in a reduction of unrecognized tax benefits of $53 million . Subscription and SaaS Revenue Effective with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, VMware is presenting new revenue and cost of revenue line items entitled “subscription and SaaS revenue” and “cost of subscription and SaaS revenue.” Previously, subscription and software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) revenue was referred to as “hybrid cloud subscription and SaaS revenue” and was allocated between license revenue and services revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of income. In light of the Company’s recent acquisitions, management decided to separately present revenue recognized from subscription and SaaS offerings as management believes it provides a more meaningful representation of the nature of its revenue. Revenue and related costs from prior periods were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. The following table summarizes the prior period reclassifications for revenue and the corresponding costs resulting from the presentation of the new revenue line item (amounts in millions): Three Months Ended November 1, 2019 As Previously Reported Reclassification For New Revenue Line Pivotal Adjustments (1) As Adjusted Revenue: License $ 974 $ (246 ) $ — $ 728 Subscription and SaaS — 330 140 470 Services 1,482 (84 ) 60 1,458 Operating expenses: Cost of license revenue 59 (17 ) — 42 Cost of subscription and SaaS revenue — 77 26 103 Cost of services revenue 319 (60 ) 52 311 Nine Months Ended November 1, 2019 As Previously Reported Reclassification For New Revenue Line Pivotal Adjustments (1) As Adjusted Revenue: License $ 2,853 $ (706 ) $ — $ 2,147 Subscription and SaaS — 921 399 1,320 Services 4,308 (215 ) 178 4,271 Operating expenses: Cost of license revenue 160 (44 ) — 116 Cost of subscription and SaaS revenue — 219 75 294 Cost of services revenue 936 (175 ) 155 916 (1) Includes adjustments related to the recast of prior periods resulting from the acquisition of Pivotal. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Effective February 1, 2020, VMware adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires the measurement and recognition of current expected credit losses for financial assets. The standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. New Accounting Pronouncement In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, simplifying the accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity and amending the diluted earnings per share guidance for greater consistency within the standard. With the exception of the impact to the Company’s diluted net income per share, which is not expected to be material, the updated standard is not expected to have any other impact on the Company’s financial statements. The updated standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, but may be early adopted. VMware plans to adopt this updated standard during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 on a modified retrospective basis. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue, Unearned Revenue and Remaining Performance Obligations | Revenue, Unearned Revenue and Remaining Performance Obligations Revenue Contract Assets A contract asset is recognized when a conditional right to consideration exists and transfer of control has occurred. Contract assets include fixed fee professional services where transfer of services has occurred in advance of the Company’s right to invoice. Contract assets are classified as accounts receivables upon invoicing. Contract assets are included in other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Contract assets were $46 million and $26 million as of October 30, 2020 and January 31, 2020 , respectively. Contract asset balances will fluctuate based upon the timing of the transfer of services, billings and customers’ acceptance of contractual milestones. Contract Liabilities Contract liabilities consist of unearned revenue, which is generally recorded when VMware has the right to invoice or payments have been received for undelivered products or services. Customer Deposits Customer deposits include prepayments from customers related to amounts received for contracts that include certain cancellation rights. Purchased credits eligible for redemption of VMware’s hosted services (“cloud credits”) are included in customer deposits until the cloud credit is consumed or is contractually committed to a specific hosted service. Cloud credits are redeemable by the customer for the gross value of the hosted offering. Upon contractual commitment for a hosted service, the net value of the cloud credits that are expected to be recognized as revenue when the obligation is fulfilled will be classified as unearned revenue. As of October 30, 2020 , customer deposits related to customer prepayments and cloud credits of $275 million were included in accrued expenses and other, and $152 million were included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of January 31, 2020 , customer deposits related to customer prepayments and cloud credits of $247 million were included in accrued expenses and other, and $143 million were included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Deferred Commissions Deferred commissions are classified as current or non-current based on the duration of the expected period of benefit. Deferred commissions, including the employer portion of payroll taxes, included in other current assets as of October 30, 2020 and January 31, 2020 were $27 million and $13 million , respectively. Deferred commissions included in other assets were $1.0 billion and $938 million as of October 30, 2020 and January 31, 2020 , respectively. Amortization expense for deferred commissions was included in sales and marketing on the condensed consolidated statements of income and was $113 million and $319 million during the three and nine months ended October 30, 2020 , respectively, and $93 million and $270 million during the three and nine months ended November 1, 2019 , respectively. Unearned Revenue Unearned revenue as of the periods presented consisted of the following (table in millions): October 30, January 31, 2020 2020 Unearned license revenue $ 11 $ 19 Unearned subscription and SaaS revenue 1,596 1,534 Unearned software maintenance revenue 6,574 6,700 Unearned professional services revenue 1,054 1,015 Total unearned revenue $ 9,235 $ 9,268 Unearned subscription and SaaS revenue is generally recognized over time as customers consume the services or ratably over the term of the subscription, commencing upon provisioning of the service. Unearned software maintenance revenue is attributable to VMware’s maintenance contracts and is generally recognized over time on a ratable basis over the contract duration. The weighted-average remaining contractual term as of October 30, 2020 was approximately two years . Unearned professional services revenue results primarily from prepaid professional services and is generally recognized as the services are performed. Total billings and revenue recognized during the three months ended October 30, 2020 were $1.7 billion and $1.9 billion , respectively, and did not include amounts for performance obligations that were fully satisfied upon delivery, such as on-premises licenses. Total billings and revenue recognized during the nine months ended October 30, 2020 were $5.4 billion and $5.5 billion , respectively, and did not include amounts for performance obligations that were fully satisfied upon delivery, such as on-premises licenses. During the nine months ended October 30, 2020 , VMware also acquired $33 million in unearned revenue in connection with business combinations. Revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended November 1, 2019 was $1.6 billion and $4.7 billion , respectively, and did not include amounts for performance obligations that were fully satisfied upon delivery, such as on-premises licenses. Remaining Performance Obligations Remaining performance obligations represent the aggregate amount of the transaction price in contracts allocated to performance obligations not delivered, or partially undelivered, as of the end of the reporting period. Remaining performance obligations include unearned revenue, multi-year contracts with future installment payments and certain unfulfilled orders against accepted customer contracts at the end of any given period. As of October 30, 2020 , the aggregate transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $10.2 billion , of which approximately 55% is expected to be recognized as revenue over the next twelve months and the remainder thereafter. As of January 31, 2020 , the aggregate transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $10.3 billion , of which approximately 54% was expected to be recognized as revenue during fiscal 2021, and the remainder thereafter. |

Related Party Transactions [Abstract] | |
Related Parties | Related Parties The information provided below includes a summary of transactions with Dell and Dell’s consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, “Dell”). Transactions with Dell VMware and Dell engaged in the following ongoing related party transactions, which resulted in revenue and receipts, and unearned revenue for VMware: • Pursuant to original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) and reseller arrangements, Dell integrates or bundles VMware’s products and services with Dell’s products and sells them to end users. Dell also acts as a distributor, purchasing VMware’s standalone products and services for resale to end-user customers through VMware-authorized resellers. Revenue under these arrangements is presented net of related marketing development funds and rebates paid to Dell. In addition, VMware provides professional services to end users based upon contractual agreements with Dell. • Dell purchases products and services from VMware for its internal use. • From time to time, VMware and Dell enter into agreements to collaborate on technology projects, and Dell pays VMware for services or reimburses VMware for costs incurred by VMware, in connection with such projects. During each of the three and nine months ended October 30, 2020 , revenue from Dell accounted for 33% of VMware’s consolidated revenue. During the three and nine months ended October 30, 2020 , revenue recognized on transactions where Dell acted as an OEM accounted for 13% and 12% , respectively, of revenue from Dell, or 4% of VMware’s consolidated revenue. During the three and nine months ended November 1, 2019 , revenue from Dell accounted for 31% and 30% of VMware’s consolidated revenue, respectively. During the three and nine months ended November 1, 2019 , revenue recognized on transactions where Dell acted as an OEM accounted for 11% and 12% , respectively, of revenue from Dell, or 3% of VMware’s consolidated revenue. Dell purchases VMware products and services directly from VMware, as well as through VMware’s channel partners. Information about VMware’s revenue and receipts, and unearned revenue from such arrangements, for the periods presented consisted of the following (table in millions): Revenue and Receipts Unearned Revenue Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended As of October 30, November 1, October 30, November 1, October 30, January 31, 2020 2019 2020 2019 2020 2020 Reseller revenue $ 927 $ 780 $ 2,738 $ 2,223 $ 4,159 $ 3,787 Internal-use revenue 16 37 50 60 28 57 Collaborative technology project receipts 4 2 9 7 n/a n/a Customer deposits resulting from transactions with Dell were $209 million and $194 million as of October 30, 2020 and January 31, 2020 , respectively. VMware and Dell engaged in the following ongoing related party transactions, which resulted in costs to VMware: • VMware purchases and leases products and purchases services from Dell. • From time to time, VMware and Dell enter into agreements to collaborate on technology projects, and VMware pays Dell for services provided to VMware by Dell related to such projects. • In certain geographic regions where VMware does not have an established legal entity, VMware contracts with Dell subsidiaries for support services and support from Dell personnel who are managed by VMware. The costs incurred by Dell on VMware’s behalf related to these employees are charged to VMware with a mark-up intended to approximate costs that would have been incurred had VMware contracted for such services with an unrelated third party. These costs are included as expenses on VMware’s condensed consolidated statements of income and primarily include salaries, benefits, travel and occupancy expenses. Dell also incurs certain administrative costs on VMware’s behalf in the United States (“U.S.”) that are recorded as expenses on VMware’s condensed consolidated statements of income. • In certain geographic regions, Dell files a consolidated indirect tax return, which includes value added taxes and other indirect taxes collected by VMware from its customers. VMware remits the indirect taxes to Dell, and Dell remits the tax payment to the foreign governments on VMware’s behalf. • From time to time, VMware invoices end users on behalf of Dell for certain services rendered by Dell. Cash related to these services is collected from the end user by VMware and remitted to Dell. • From time to time, VMware enters into agency arrangements with Dell that enable VMware to sell its subscriptions and services, leveraging the Dell enterprise relationships and end customer contracts. Information about VMware’s payments for such arrangements during the periods presented consisted of the following (table in millions): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended October 30, November 1, October 30, November 1, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Purchases and leases of products and purchases of services (1) $ 49 $ 61 $ 138 $ 196 Dell subsidiary support and administrative costs 12 27 54 91 (1) Amount includes indirect taxes that were remitted to Dell during the periods presented. VMware also purchases Dell products through Dell’s channel partners. Purchases of Dell products through Dell’s channel partners were not significant during the periods presented . From time to time, VMware and Dell also enter into joint marketing, sales, branding and product development arrangements, for which both parties may incur costs. Dell Financial Services (“DFS”) DFS provided financing to certain of VMware’s end users at the end users’ discretion. Upon acceptance of the financing arrangement by both VMware’s end users and DFS, amounts classified as trade accounts receivable are reclassified to due from related parties, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Revenue recognized on transactions financed through DFS was recorded net of financing fees. Financing fees on arrangements accepted by both parties were $12 million and $43 million during the three and nine months ended October 30, 2020 , respectively, and $34 million during the nine months ended November 1, 2019 . Financing fees during the three months ended November 1, 2019 were not significant. Tax Sharing Agreement with Dell Payments made to Dell pursuant to the tax sharing agreement were $54 million and $221 million during the three and nine months ended October 30, 2020 , respectively, and $43 million and $132 million during the three and nine months ended November 1, 2019 , respectively. Payments from VMware to Dell under the tax sharing agreement relate to VMware’s portion of federal income taxes on Dell’s consolidated tax return as well as state tax payments for combined states. The timing of the tax payments due to and from related parties is governed by the tax sharing agreement. VMware’s portion of the mandatory one-time transition tax on accumulated earnings of foreign subsidiaries (the “Transition Tax”) is governed by a letter agreement between Dell, EMC and VMware executed during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 (the “Letter Agreement”). In December 2019, VMware amended the tax sharing agreement with Dell in connection with, and effective as of, the Pivotal acquisition. The tax sharing agreement with Dell, as amended and subject to certain exceptions, generally limits VMware’s maximum annual tax liability to Dell to the amount VMware would owe on a separate tax return basis. Subject to this cap for periods following the Pivotal acquisition, the amounts that VMware pays to Dell for its portion of federal income taxes on Dell’s consolidated tax return differ from the amounts VMware would owe on a separate tax return basis and the difference is recognized as a component of additional paid-in capital, generally in the period in which the consolidated tax return is filed. The difference between the amount of tax calculated on a separate tax return basis and the amount of tax calculated pursuant to the tax sharing agreement recorded in additional paid-in capital during the nine months ended October 30, 2020 was $45 million . The amount recognized in additional paid-in capital during the nine months ended November 1, 2019 was $85 million , primarily due to a reduction in Transition Tax liability based on the terms of the Letter Agreement and certain tax attribute determinations made by Dell. The amounts recognized in additional paid-in capital during the three months ended October 30, 2020 and November 1, 2019 were not significant. As a result of the activity under the tax sharing agreement with Dell, amounts due to Dell were $499 million and $529 million as of October 30, 2020 and January 31, 2020 , respectively, primarily related to VMware’s estimated tax obligation resulting from the Transition Tax. The Company expects to pay the remainder of its Transition Tax over a period of five years . Pivotal Tax Sharing Agreement with Dell Pivotal continues to file its separate tax return for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as it left the Dell consolidated tax group at the time of Pivotal’s initial public offering (“IPO”) in April 2018. This has reduced the amount of benefit or expense received by Pivotal since the IPO to the amount of benefit or expense Dell realizes from Pivotal’s inclusion on unitary state tax returns. Pursuant to a tax sharing agreement, Pivotal historically received payments from Dell for the tax benefits derived from the inclusion of its losses in certain Dell U.S. federal and state group returns. Payments received from Dell were recognized as a component of additional paid-in capital. In April 2019, Pivotal and Dell amended their tax sharing agreement with regard to the treatment of certain U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act implications not explicitly covered by the original terms of the tax sharing agreement. The amendment resulted in a one-time payment of $27 million by Dell to Pivotal in August 2019. During the nine months ended November 1, 2019 , $24 million was recognized as a component of additional paid-in capital related to Pivotal’s tax sharing agreement with Dell and it was not material during the three months ended November 1, 2019 . Due To/From Related Parties, Net Amounts due to and from related parties, net as of the periods presented consisted of the following (table in millions): October 30, January 31, 2020 2020 Due from related parties, current $ 771 $ 1,618 Due to related parties, current (1) 99 161 Due from related parties, net, current $ 672 $ 1,457 (1) Includes an immaterial amount related to the Company’s current operating lease liabilities due to related parties. The Company also recognized an immaterial amount related to non-current operating lease liabilities due to related parties. This amount has been included in operating lease liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of October 30, 2020 and January 31, 2020 . Amounts in due from related parties, net, excluding DFS and tax obligations, include the current portion of amounts due to and due from related parties. Amounts included in due from related parties, net are generally settled in cash within 60 days of each quarter-end. Notes Payable to Dell As of October 30, 2020 and January 31, 2020 , VMware had an outstanding promissory note payable to Dell in the principal amount of $270 million due December 1, 2022 . The note may be prepaid without penalty or premium. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears at the annual rate of 1.75% . During each of the three and nine months ended October 30, 2020 and November 1, 2019 , interest expense on the notes payable to Dell was not significant. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Litigation On June 4, 2020, purported Pivotal stockholder Kenia Lopez filed a lawsuit in the Delaware Chancery Court against Dell, VMware, Michael Dell, Robert Mee and Cynthia Gaylor. The claims include breach of fiduciary duty and aiding and abetting, all tied to VMware’s acquisition of Pivotal. On July 16, 2020, purported Pivotal stockholder Stephanie Howarth filed a similar lawsuit in the Delaware Chancery Court against the same defendants asserting the same types of claims. These matters have been consolidated, and VMware filed a motion to dismiss on September 23, 2020. The Company is unable at this time to assess whether or to what extent it may be found liable and, if found liable, what the damages may be, and believes a loss is not probable and reasonably estimable. The Company intends to vigorously defend against these securities class actions. On April 25, 2019, Cirba Inc. (“Cirba”) filed a lawsuit against VMware in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the “Delaware Court”), alleging two patent infringement claims and three trademark infringement-related claims. On May 6, 2019, Cirba filed a motion seeking a preliminary injunction tied to one of the two patents it alleges VMware infringes. Following a hearing on August 6, 2019, the Delaware Court denied Cirba’s preliminary injunction motion and set the case for trial in mid-January 2020. On August 20, 2019, VMware filed counterclaims against Cirba, asserting among other claims that Cirba is infringing four VMware patents. The Delaware Court severed those claims from the January 2020 trial on Cirba’s claims, and the trial on VMware’s patent claims is currently set for September 2021. 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 willfully infringed the two asserted patents and awarding approximately $237 million in damages. The jury further found that VMware was not liable on Cirba’s trademark infringement-related claims. A total of $237 million has been accrued for the Delaware action, which reflects the estimated losses that are considered both probable and reasonably estimable at this time. The parties filed post-trial motions in which VMware moved to set aside the verdict and reduce the damages award, and Cirba moved for a permanent injunction, enhanced damages, to set an ongoing royalty rate, and for an award of pre-judgment and post-judgment interest and supplemental damages. The parties held a hearing with the Delaware Court on those motions on May 15, 2020, and the Delaware Court has taken those motions under advisement. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter, including, if necessary, via an appeal. Final resolution of this matter could be materially different from the amount accrued. The amount accrued for this matter is included in accrued expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 30, 2020 and January 31, 2020 , and the charge was included in general and administrative on the condensed consolidated statement of income for the year ended January 31, 2020 . On October 22, 2019, VMware filed a separate patent infringement lawsuit against Cirba in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, asserting that Cirba infringes an additional four patents. The court in that action transferred the case to the District of Delaware. On March 23, 2020, Cirba filed a counterclaim asserting one additional patent against VMware. Overall, the Company is unable at this time to assess whether or to what extent it may be found liable on the new patent claim and, if found liable, what the damages may be, and believes a loss is not probable and reasonably estimable. The Company intends to vigorously defend against this matter. On August 10, 2015, the Company received a subpoena from the California Attorney General’s office (“California AG”), following the Company’s settlement with the Department of Justice and the General Services Administration during June 2015, which stemmed from a qui tam complaint filed by Relator Dane Smith (“Relator”) under seal titled State of California et al. Ex rel. Smith v. VMware, Inc. et al. , in the Superior Court of California, Sacramento County, alleging claims under the California False Claims Act. Following the filing of that lawsuit, the Company received two subpoenas from the California AG. The Company cooperated fully with the California AG in connection with its investigation regarding VMware’s state and local government sales practices covering the period between 2006 and 2013. On October 21, 2020, the parties entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay an immaterial amount to the State of California to resolve the matter. In the settlement agreement, the Company denied the allegations and denied that it violated any laws. The Company will separately resolve Relator's attorneys’ fees claim, which is not material. In December 2019, the staff of the Enforcement Division of the SEC requested documents and information related to VMware’s backlog and associated accounting and disclosures. VMware is fully cooperating with the SEC’s investigation and is unable to predict the outcome of this matter at this time. While VMware believes that it has valid defenses against each of the above legal matters, given the unpredictable nature of legal proceedings, an unfavorable resolution of one or more legal proceedings, claims, or investigations could have a material adverse effect on VMware’s condensed consolidated financial statements. VMware accrues for a liability when a determination has been made that a loss is both probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. If only a range can be estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, an accrual is recorded for the minimum amount in the range. Significant judgment is required in both the determination that the occurrence of a loss is probable and is reasonably estimable. In making such judgments, VMware considers the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. Legal costs are generally recognized as expense when incurred. VMware is also subject to other legal, administrative and regulatory proceedings, claims, demands and investigations in the ordinary course of business or in connection with business mergers and acquisitions, including claims with respect to commercial, contracting and sales practices, product liability, intellectual property, employment, corporate and securities law, class action, whistleblower and other matters. From time to time, VMware also receives inquiries from and has discussions with government entities and stockholders on various matters. As of October 30, 2020 , other than the Cirba litigation, amounts accrued relating to these other matters arising as part of the ordinary course of business were considered not material. VMware does not believe that any liability from any reasonably possible disposition of such claims and litigation, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements. Contractual Commitments From time to time, VMware enters into arrangements with minimum purchase commitments in the ordinary course of business. New material purchase commitments in fiscal 2021 have totaled $1.2 billion . Minimum payments under these new commitments are $250 million for fiscal 2022, $250 million for fiscal 2023 and $700 million prior to the end of fiscal 2024. |

Business Combinations, Definite-Lived Intangible Assets, Net and Goodwill | Business Combinations, Definite-Lived Intangible Assets, Net and Goodwill Business Combinations Acquisition of SaltStack, Inc. During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, VMware completed the acquisition of SaltStack, Inc., a developer of intelligent, event-driven automation software, to broaden VMware’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 identifiable intangible assets and $24 million of goodwill that is no t expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The identifiable intangible assets, which primarily consisted of completed technology, have estimated useful lives of three years . Acquisition of Datrium, Inc. During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, VMware 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 no t 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 . Acquisition of Lastline, Inc. During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, VMware 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 no t 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 . Acquisition of Nyansa, Inc.

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 no t 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 completed three other acquisitions, which were not material individually to the condensed consolidated financial statements. VMware expects these acquisitions to enhance its product features and capabilities for its VMware Carbon Black Cloud and vRealize Operations offerings. The aggregate purchase price for these three 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 fiscal 2021, 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 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 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.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Net Income Per Share | Net Income Per Share Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period, as calculated using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive securities primarily include unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”), including performance stock unit (“PSU”) awards, and stock options, including purchase options under VMware’s employee stock purchase plan, which included Pivotal’s employee stock purchase plan through the date of acquisition. Securities are excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive. VMware uses the two-class method to calculate net income per share as both classes share the same rights in dividends; therefore, basic and diluted earnings per share are the same for both classes. The following table sets forth the computations of basic and diluted net income per share during the periods presented (table in millions, except per share amounts and shares in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended October 30, November 1, October 30, November 1, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Net income attributable to VMware, Inc. $ 434 $ 407 $ 1,267 $ 6,090 Weighted-average shares, basic for Classes A and B 420,857 416,387 419,758 417,002 Effect of other dilutive securities 2,543 6,648 3,335 8,364 Weighted-average shares, diluted for Classes A and B 423,400 423,035 423,093 425,366 Net income per weighted-average share attributable to VMware, Inc. common stockholders, basic for Classes A and B $ 1.03 $ 0.98 $ 3.02 $ 14.60 Net income per weighted-average share attributable to VMware, Inc. common stockholders, diluted for Classes A and B $ 1.02 $ 0.96 $ 3.00 $ 14.32 The following table sets forth the weighted-average common share equivalents of Class A common stock that were excluded from the diluted net income per share calculations during the periods presented because their effect would have been anti-dilutive (shares in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended October 30, November 1, October 30, November 1, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Anti-dilutive securities: Employee stock options 140 159 202 10 Restricted stock units 2,968 4,220 4,696 363 Total 3,108 4,379 4,898 373 |

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Debt | Debt Unsecured Senior Notes On April 7, 2020, VMware issued three series of unsecured senior notes pursuant to a public debt offering. The proceeds from the issuance were $2.0 billion , net of debt discount of $3 million and debt issuance costs of $17 million . VMware also has three series of unsecured senior notes issued on August 21, 2017 (collectively with the notes issued April 7, 2020, the “Senior Notes”). The carrying value of the Senior Notes as of the periods presented was as follows (amounts in millions): October 30, January 31, Effective Interest Rate 2020 2020 Senior Notes issued August 21, 2017: 2.30% Senior Note Due August 21, 2020 $ — $ 1,250 2.56% 2.95% Senior Note Due August 21, 2022 1,500 1,500 3.17% 3.90% Senior Note Due August 21, 2027 1,250 1,250 4.05% Senior Notes issued April 7, 2020: 4.50% Senior Note Due May 15, 2025 750 — 4.70% 4.65% Senior Note Due May 15, 2027 500 — 4.80% 4.70% Senior Note Due May 15, 2030 750 — 4.86% Total principal amount 4,750 4,000 Less: unamortized discount (7 ) (5 ) Less: unamortized debt issuance costs (28 ) (16 ) Net carrying amount 4,715 3,979 Current portion of long-term debt — 1,248 Long-term debt $ 4,715 $ 2,731 On May 11, 2020, VMware exercised a make-whole call and redeemed the $1.3 billion unsecured senior note due August 21, 2020 at a premium. The loss on extinguishment of debt was not material during the nine months ended October 30, 2020 and was recognized in other income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated statements of income. Interest on the Senior Notes issued on April 7, 2020 is payable semiannually in arrears, on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning November 15, 2020. The interest rate on each note issued on April 7, 2020 is subject to adjustment based on certain rating events. Interest on the Senior Notes issued on August 21, 2017 is payable semiannually in arrears, on February 21 and August 21 of each year. Interest expense was $48 million and $135 million during the three and nine months ended October 30, 2020 , respectively, and $32 million and $97 million during the three and nine months ended November 1, 2019 , respectively. Interest expense, which included amortization of discount and issuance costs, was recognized on the condensed consolidated statements of income. The discount and issuance costs are amortized over the term of the Senior Notes on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method. The Senior Notes are redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time at VMware’s option, subject to a make-whole premium. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain change-of-control triggering events and certain downgrades of the ratings on the Senior Notes, VMware may be required to repurchase the notes at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the date of repurchase. The Senior Notes rank equally in right of payment with VMware’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Senior Notes contain restrictive covenants that, in certain circumstances, limit VMware’s ability to create certain liens, to enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions and to consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of VMware’s assets. Refer to Note C for disclosure regarding the note payable to Dell. Revolving Credit Facility On September 12, 2017, VMware entered into an unsecured credit agreement establishing a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders that provides the Company with a borrowing capacity of up to $1.0 billion , for general corporate purposes. Commitments under the revolving credit facility are available for a period of five years , which may be extended, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, by up to two one -year periods. A s of October 30, 2020 and January 31, 2020 , there was no outstanding borrowing under the revolving credit facility. The credit agreement contains certain representations, warranties and covenants. Commitment fees, interest rates and other terms of borrowing under the revolving credit facility may vary based on VMware’s external credit ratings. The amount paid in connection with the ongoing commitment fee, which is payable quarterly in arrears, was no t significant duri ng each of the three and nine months ended October 30, 2020 and November 1, 2019 . Senior Unsecured Term Loan Facility On September 26, 2019, VMware entered into a senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan”) with a syndicate of lenders that provided the Company with a borrowing capacity of up to $2.0 billion through February 7, 2020, for general corporate purposes. During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, VMware repaid the outstanding balance of $1.5 billion on the Term Loan. As of January 31, 2020 , the outstanding balance on the Term Loan of $1.5 billion , net of unamortized debt issuance costs, was included in current portion of long-term debt and other borrowings on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Interest expense for the Term Loan, including amortization of issuance costs, was not significant during the three months ended October 30, 2020 and was $17 million during the nine months ended October 30, 2020 . Interest expense was not significant during each of the three and nine months ended November 1, 2019 . |
Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Assets and Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Certain financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. VMware determines fair value using the following hierarchy: • Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; • Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and • Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. VMware did not have any significant assets or liabilities that were classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy for the periods presented , and there have been no transfers between fair value measurement levels during the periods presented . The following tables set forth the fair value hierarchy of VMware’s cash equivalents that were required to be measured at fair value as of the periods presented (tables in millions): October 30, 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Total Cash equivalents: Money-market funds $ 3,146 $ — $ 3,146 Time deposits (1) — 55 55 Total cash equivalents $ 3,146 $ 55 $ 3,201 January 31, 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Total Cash equivalents: Money-market funds $ 2,158 $ — $ 2,158 Time deposits (1) — 102 102 Total cash equivalents $ 2,158 $ 102 $ 2,260 (1) Time deposits were valued at amortized cost, which approximated fair value. The note payable to Dell, the Senior Notes and the Term Loan were not adjusted to fair value. The fair value of the note payable to Dell was approximately $275 million and $269 million as of October 30, 2020 and January 31, 2020 , respectively. The fair value of the Senior Notes was approximately $5.3 billion and $4.1 billion as of October 30, 2020 and January 31, 2020 , respectively. The fair value of the Term Loan approximated its carrying value as of January 31, 2020 due to its short-term nature. Fair value for the note payable to Dell, the Senior Notes and the Term Loan was estimated primarily based on observable market interest rates (Level 2 inputs). VMware offers a deferred compensation plan for eligible employees, which allows participants to defer payment for part or all of their compensation. There is no net impact to the condensed consolidated statements of income since changes in the fair value of the assets offset changes in the fair value of the liabilities. As such, assets and liabilities associated with this plan have not been included in the above tables. Assets associated with this plan were the same as the liabilities at $125 million and $106 million as of October 30, 2020 and January 31, 2020 , respectively, and were included in other assets and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively. Equity Securities With a Readily Determinable Fair Value VMware’s equity securities include an investment in a company that completed its initial public offering during the third quarter of fiscal 2021. As a result of the initial public offering, VMware’s investment was adjusted to its fair value of $214 million using quoted prices for identical assets in an active market (Level 1), and VMware recognized an unrealized gain of $189 million in other income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated statements of income. The investment was included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. VMware also recognized a discrete tax expense of $62 million related to its book and tax basis difference on this investment. Equity Securities Without a Readily Determinable Fair Value VMware’s equity securities also include investments in privately held companies, which do not have a readily determinable fair value. As of October 30, 2020 and January 31, 2020 , investments in privately held companies, which consisted primarily of equity securities, had a carrying value of $122 million and $159 million , respectively, and were included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During each of the three and nine months ended October 30, 2020 , VMware recognized an unrealized loss of $15 million on these securities. The unrealized gains recognized during the three and nine months ended November 1, 2019 were $12 million and $35 million |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivatives and Hedging Activities | Derivatives and Hedging Activities VMware conducts business on a global basis in multiple foreign currencies, subjecting the Company to foreign currency risk. To mitigate a portion of this risk, VMware utilizes hedging contracts as described below, which potentially expose the Company to credit risk to the extent that the counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements. VMware manages counterparty risk by seeking counterparties of high credit quality and by monitoring credit ratings, credit spreads and other relevant public information about its counterparties. VMware does not, and does not intend to, use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Cash Flow Hedges To mitigate its exposure to foreign currency fluctuations resulting from certain operating expenses denominated in certain foreign currencies, VMware enters into forward contracts that are designated as cash flow hedging instruments as the accounting criteria for such designation are met. Therefore, the effective portion of gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these instruments is initially reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and is subsequently reclassified to the related operating expense line item on the condensed consolidated statements of income in the same period that the underlying expenses are incurred. During each of the three and nine months ended October 30, 2020 and November 1, 2019 , the effective portion of gains or losses reclassified to the condensed consolidated statements of income was not significant. Interest charges or forward points on VMware’s forward contracts were excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and were recorded to the related operating expense line item on the condensed consolidated statements of income in the same period that the interest charges are incurred. These forward contracts have contractual maturities of twelve months or less, and as of October 30, 2020 and January 31, 2020 , outstanding forward contracts had a total notional value of $130 million and $480 million , respectively. The notional value represents the gross amount of foreign currency that will be bought or sold upon maturity of the forward contract. The fair value of these forward contracts was not significant as of October 30, 2020 and January 31, 2020 . During the three and nine months ended October 30, 2020 and November 1, 2019 , all cash flow hedges were considered effective. Forward Contracts Not Designated as Hedges VMware has established a program that utilizes forward contracts to offset the foreign currency risk associated with net outstanding monetary asset and liability positions. These forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments under applicable accounting guidance, and therefore all changes in the fair value of the forward contracts are reported in other income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated statements of income. These forward contracts generally have a contractual maturity of one month , and as of October 30, 2020 and January 31, 2020 , outstanding forward contracts had a total notional value of $2.8 billion and $1.1 billion , respectively. The notional value represents the gross amount of foreign currency that will be bought or sold upon maturity of the forward contract. The fair value of these forward contracts was not significant as of October 30, 2020 and January 31, 2020 . During the nine months ended October 30, 2020 and November 1, 2019 , VMware recognized a loss of $34 million and a gain of $46 million , respectively, related to the settlement of forward contracts. The losses recognized during each of the three months ended October 30, 2020 and November 1, 2019 were not significant. Gains and losses are recorded in other income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated statements of income. The combined gains and losses related to the settlement of forward contracts and the underlying foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities during the nine months ended October 30, 2020 and November 1, 2019 resulted in net gains of $14 million and $20 million , respectively. Net gains and losses were not significant during each of the three months ended October 30, 2020 and November 1, 2019. Net gains and losses are recorded in other income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated statements of income. |

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract] | |
Stockholders' Equity | Stockholders’ Equity VMware Stock Repurchases VMware purchases stock from time to time in open market transactions, subject to market conditions. The timing of any repurchases and the actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including VMware’s stock price, cash requirements for operations and business combinations, corporate, legal and regulatory requirements and other market and economic conditions. VMware is not obligated to purchase any shares under its stock repurchase programs. Purchases may be discontinued at any time VMware believes additional purchases are not warranted. From time to time, VMware also purchases stock in private transactions, such as those with Dell. All shares repurchased under VMware’s stock repurchase programs are retired. During May 2019, VMware’s board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1.5 billion of Class A common stock through January 29, 2021. During July 2020, VMware’s board of directors extended authorization of the existing stock repurchase program through January 28, 2022 and authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $1.0 billion of Class A common stock through January 28, 2022 . As of October 30, 2020 , the cumulative authorized amount remaining for stock repurchases was $1.4 billion . The following table summarizes stock repurchase activity during the periods presented (aggregate purchase price in millions, shares in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended October 30, November 1, October 30, November 1, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Aggregate purchase price (1) $ 255 $ 242 $ 566 $ 1,279 Class A common stock repurchased 1,770 1,638 4,229 7,333 Weighted-average price per share $ 144.28 $ 147.65 $ 133.83 $ 174.37 (1) The aggregate purchase price of repurchased shares is classified as a reduction to additional paid-in capital until the balance is reduced to zero and the excess is recorded as a reduction to retained earnings. VMware Restricted Stock VMware’s restricted stock primarily consists of RSU awards granted to employees. The value of an RSU grant is based on VMware’s stock price on the date of the grant. The shares underlying the RSU awards are not issued until the RSUs vest. Upon vesting, each RSU converts into one share of VMware’s Class A common stock. VMware’s restricted stock also includes PSU awards granted to certain VMware executives and employees. PSU awards have performance conditions and, in certain cases, a time-based or market-based vesting component. Upon vesting, PSU awards convert into VMware’s Class A common stock at various ratios ranging from 0.1 to 2.0 shares per PSU, depending upon the degree of achievement of the performance or market-based target designated by each award. If minimum performance thresholds are not achieved, then no shares are issued. The following table summarizes restricted stock activity since January 31, 2020 (units in thousands): Number of Units Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value (per unit) Outstanding, January 31, 2020 17,474 $ 128.38 Granted 10,075 150.54 Vested (6,270 ) 112.24 Forfeited (1,833 ) 133.94 Outstanding, October 30, 2020 19,446 144.45 The aggregate vesting date fair value of VMware’s restricted stock that vested during the nine months ended October 30, 2020 , was $861 million . As of October 30, 2020 , restricted stock representing 19.4 million shares of VMware’s Class A common stock were outstanding, with an aggregate intrinsic value of $2.5 billion based on VMware’s closing stock price as of October 30, 2020 . Net Excess Tax Benefits Net excess tax benefits recognized in connection with stock-based awards are included in income tax benefit on the condensed consolidated statements of income. Net excess tax benefits recognized during the nine months ended October 30, 2020 were $32 million and were not significant during the three months ended October 30, 2020 . During the three and nine months ended November 1, 2019 , net excess tax benefits recognized were $30 million and $147 million , respectively.

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | Segment Information VMware operates in one reportable operating segment; thus, all required financial segment information is included in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources and assess performance. VMware’s chief operating decision maker allocates resources and assesses performance based upon discrete financial information at the consolidated level.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Accounting Principles, Retrospective Combination of Historical Financial Statements and Unaudited Interim Financial Information | Accounting Principles The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Retrospective Combination of Historical Financial Statements In December 2019, VMware completed the acquisition of Pivotal, which was, at the time, a subsidiary of VMware’s parent company, Dell Technologies Inc. (“Dell”). The purchase of the controlling interest in Pivotal from Dell was accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805-50, Business Combination - Related Issues, which requires retrospective combination of entities for all periods presented, as if the combination had been in effect since the inception of common control. The condensed consolidated financial statements of VMware and notes thereto are presented on a combined basis, as both VMware and Pivotal were under common control for all periods presented. Of the total amount of consideration for the acquisition of the non-controlling interest in Pivotal, $155 million was recognized in accrued expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2020 for amounts potentially owed to dissenting stockholders. During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, VMware paid $91 million to dissenting stockholders of Pivotal, representing a portion of the amount accrued as of January 31, 2020 . Unaudited Interim Financial Information The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals, for a fair statement of VMware’s condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. Results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year 2021. Certain information and footnote disclosures typically included in annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in VMware’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 26, 2020. Effective September 7, 2016, Dell (formerly Denali Holding Inc.) acquired EMC Corporation (“EMC”), VMware’s parent company, including EMC’s majority control of VMware. As of October 30, 2020 , Dell controlled 80.4% of VMware’s outstanding common stock and 97.4% of the combined voting power of VMware’s outstanding common stock, including 31 million shares of VMware’s Class A common stock and all of VMware’s Class B common stock. As VMware is a majority-owned and controlled subsidiary of Dell, its results of operations and financial position are consolidated with Dell’s financial statements. Management believes the assumptions underlying the condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable. However, the amounts recorded for VMware’s related party transactions with Dell and its consolidated subsidiaries may not be considered arm’s length with an unrelated third party. Therefore, the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein may not necessarily reflect the results of operations, financial position and cash flows had VMware engaged in such transactions with an unrelated third party during all periods presented. Accordingly, VMware’s historical financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows will be in the future, if and when VMware contracts at arm’s length with unrelated third parties for products and services the Company receives from and provides to Dell. |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of VMware and subsidiaries in which VMware has a controlling financial interest. The portion of results of operations attributable to the non-controlling interests for Pivotal prior to the acquisition was included in net loss attributable to non-controlling interests on the condensed consolidated statements of income for the periods presented. As part of the acquisition of Pivotal, VMware acquired the non-controlling interests in Pivotal from the holders of Pivotal Class A common stock, and has held 100% of the controlling financial interest in Pivotal since December 2019. The cumulative portion of the results of operations and changes in the net assets of Pivotal attributable to the non-controlling interests through the acquisition date were reclassified to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2020. All intercompany transactions and account balances between VMware and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. Transactions with Dell and its consolidated subsidiaries are generally settled in cash and are classified on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows based upon the nature of the underlying transaction. |
Use of Accounting Estimates | Use of Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, trade receivable valuation, marketing development funds, expected period of benefit for deferred commissions, useful lives assigned to fixed assets and intangible assets, valuation of goodwill and definite-lived intangibles, income taxes, stock-based compensation and contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty and therefore require increased judgment. These estimates and assumptions may change in future periods and will be recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements as new events occur and additional information becomes known. To the extent the Company’s actual results differ materially from those estimates and assumptions, VMware’s future financial statements could be affected. |
Subscription and SaaS Revenue | Subscription and SaaS Revenue Effective with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, VMware is presenting new revenue and cost of revenue line items entitled “subscription and SaaS revenue” and “cost of subscription and SaaS revenue.” Previously, subscription and software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) revenue was referred to as “hybrid cloud subscription and SaaS revenue” and was allocated between license revenue and services revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of income. In light of the Company’s recent acquisitions, management decided to separately present revenue recognized from subscription and SaaS offerings as management believes it provides a more meaningful representation of the nature of its revenue. Revenue and related costs from prior periods were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. |
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards | Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Effective February 1, 2020, VMware adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires the measurement and recognition of current expected credit losses for financial assets. The standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. New Accounting Pronouncement In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, simplifying the accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity and amending the diluted earnings per share guidance for greater consistency within the standard. With the exception of the impact to the Company’s diluted net income per share, which is not expected to be material, the updated standard is not expected to have any other impact on the Company’s financial statements. The updated standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, but may be early adopted. VMware plans to adopt this updated standard during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 on a modified retrospective basis. |
Derivatives and Hedging Activities | VMware conducts business on a global basis in multiple foreign currencies, subjecting the Company to foreign currency risk. To mitigate a portion of this risk, VMware utilizes hedging contracts as described below, which potentially expose the Company to credit risk to the extent that the counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements. VMware manages counterparty risk by seeking counterparties of high credit quality and by monitoring credit ratings, credit spreads and other relevant public information about its counterparties. VMware does not, and does not intend to, use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. |
