                       EMC REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

  REVENUE UP 18% SEQUENTIALLY ON STRONG CUSTOMER DEMAND, MARKET SHARE GAINS FOR
                CLARiiON CX SYSTEMS, INFORMATION STORAGE SOFTWARE

HOPKINTON, Mass. - January 23, 2003 - EMC Corporation (NYSE:EMC) today reported
fourth quarter and full fiscal year results for 2002. The results included an
18% sequential revenue increase in the fourth quarter compared with the third
quarter of 2002, led by strong customer demand for the new CLARiiON CX family of
mid-tier networked storage systems and for EMC's industry-leading portfolio of
information storage software products.

         Total consolidated revenue for the fourth quarter was $1.49 billion,
18% higher than the $1.26 billion reported in the third quarter of 2002, and 2%
lower than the $1.51 billion reported in the fourth quarter of 2001. Net loss
for the fourth quarter, including an after-tax restructuring and other special
charge of $117 million, was $64 million or $.03 per share, compared with a net
loss of $70 million or $.03 per share in the fourth quarter of 2001. Net income
for the fourth quarter of 2002, excluding the aforementioned $117 million
charge, was $53 million, or $.02 per diluted share.

         Total consolidated revenue for the full 2002 fiscal year was $5.44
billion, compared with $7.09 billion for the full 2001 fiscal year. Net loss for
the full 2002 fiscal year was $119 million or $.05 per share, compared with a
net loss of $508 million or $.23 per share for the full 2001 fiscal year.

         Joe Tucci, EMC's President and CEO, said, "We finished 2002 on a very
strong note as our automated networked storage strategy began to pay off. Each
of our major businesses -information storage systems, software and services -
achieved double-digit sequential revenue growth. It's clear we gained market
share, particularly in mid-tier storage and storage software. We are now
approaching customers with our strongest and most complete product line ever, a
lower cost structure, and a significantly improved go-to-market model. We expect
to gain market share in all of our strategic segments and grow profitably
throughout 2003."

         EMC's fourth-quarter results were marked by success in several
strategic areas. Revenue from EMC's mid-tier CLARiiON products experienced
strong double-digit growth in the fourth quarter compared with the third quarter
of 2002. Revenue from information storage software grew 22% in the fourth
quarter compared with the third quarter of 2002. EMC Centera Content Addressed
Storage systems, introduced in April 2002, significantly exceeded fourth-quarter





revenue expectations, with well over one petabyte (1,000 terabytes) of Content
Addressed Storage shipped during the quarter.

         Bill Teuber, EMC's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer, said, "The balanced sequential revenue growth we achieved was
encouraging. Healthy customer demand for our automated networked storage
solutions helped increase our overall product volume, leading to a significant
improvement in gross margins. Throughout 2002, we focused on controlling the
controllable. Since we intensified our attack on costs six quarters ago, we have
achieved an annualized cost savings rate of more than $1.25 billion, resulting
in a quarterly break-even level of about $1.37 billion. In addition, we
continued to strengthen the balance sheet during the year. Absent the $364
million we spent repurchasing our shares, cash and investments would have
increased $966 million during 2002. We ended the year with cash and investments
of $5.7 billion, or approximately 60% of total assets."

         During the fourth quarter, EMC continued its most aggressive series of
product roll-outs ever by delivering two new members of the powerful CLARiiON CX
family of mid-tier networked storage systems; combining the functionality and
availability found in EMC's high-end NAS solutions with the cost advantages of
CLARiiON into the EMC Celerra NS600; and providing customers with NAS software
solutions that enable organizations to centrally manage and automate the
movement of files and data across geographically dispersed locations with new
EMC OnCourse software. EMC also expanded its alliance with Dell and jointly
teamed with Microsoft to develop the largest Microsoft SQL Server(TM) storage
area network (SAN) ever built; unveiled major advances in its WideSky Developers
Suite; and outlined plans to drive standards-compliant, open storage management
solutions into real-world environments.

         EMC products, services and people were recognized during the fourth
quarter for innovation, market leadership, and historic contributions. The
readers of INTELLIGENT ENTERPRISE MAGAZINE selected EMC ControlCenter as the
world's best family of storage management software in the publication's annual
"Intelligent Enterprise Reader's Choice Awards"; EMC Centera was named "Product
of the Year" by the content collaboration magazine TRANSFORM MAGAZINE, and
received "Best of Show" honors at the BioIT WORLD CONFERENCE & EXPO; EMC won the
Software Technical Assistance Recognition (STAR) award for outstanding
mission-critical support for the second year in a row; and EMC Executive
Chairman Mike Ruettgers was inducted into the IT INDUSTRY HALL OF FAME for
transforming and revolutionizing the way businesses access, manage, share and
protect digital information.
