Dell Delivers Strong Performance with Record Revenue and
Earnings for Fourth Quarter;
Growth Driven by Enterprise Business and Sales
Outside the U.S., Both Up 21 Percent
ROUND ROCK, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 16, 2006--Dell
(NASDAQ:DELL) achieved record revenue of $15.2 billion and earnings of
43 cents per share driven by growth in enterprise products and
services and sales outside the United States in the fiscal
fourth-quarter 2006.
Dell's enterprise business in the quarter -- including storage,
servers, services and related software and peripherals -- increased
worldwide by 21 percent year-over-year. Storage revenue was up 41
percent year-over-year. Dell's business outside the U.S. increased in
the quarter by 21 percent year-over-year, reflecting Dell's success in
growth areas of Europe and Asia Pacific.
Dell's fourth quarter revenue of $15.2 billion was a 13 percent
year-over-year increase. Earnings per share was 43 cents, a
year-over-year increase of 65 percent and 16 percent on a Non-GAAP
basis. Revenue and EPS exceeded expectations. Revenue was up due in
part to a stronger than expected impact of the extra week of sales in
the quarter. EPS reflected an adjustment to a lower tax rate for the
year because of a larger mix of profits from outside the U.S.
Revenue for the fiscal year was $56 billion, a 14 percent
increase. EPS for the fiscal year was $1.46, a 24 percent increase.
Non-GAAP EPS, which excludes certain charges and an income tax benefit
that occurred during fiscal 2006 and an income tax charge in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, increased 21 percent to $1.56.

"We drove a better balance across all price points of our products
and greater operational efficiencies this quarter, and performed at
the high level of execution we expect for ourselves," said Kevin
Rollins, Dell's chief executive officer. "Our success in countries
such as China and Germany shows the Dell direct business model is
preferred by customers in all regions and provides us with a unique
advantage and opportunity for continued growth."
Cash flow from operations was $1.6 billion for the quarter and
$4.8 billion for the fiscal year. Dell ended the quarter with $11.7
billion in cash and investments. During the quarter, Dell spent $2
billion to repurchase 66 million shares of common stock, reducing
weighted average shares outstanding by 7 percent year-over-year. For
the full year, Dell spent $7.2 billion to repurchase almost 205
million shares, which was more than four times the number of options
that were granted during the year.
The company expects first quarter fiscal year 2007 revenue of
$14.2 to $14.6 billion and earnings per share of 39 cents to 41 cents,
excluding an estimated three cents of stock compensation. Dell begins
reporting earnings including stock compensation expense in the first
quarter of fiscal 2007. The company plans to repurchase at least $1.2
billion in stock during the next quarter.
Strong Growth in All Regions of the World
Sales outside the U.S. were an all-time high of 43 percent of the
company's overall revenue for the fourth quarter, up from 40 percent
in the previous quarter. The company gained share in every region
during the year.
Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ) increased revenue in the quarter by
21 percent and units by 27 percent year-over-year. In China, units
grew 28 percent year-on-year with strong profitability, demonstrating
that the direct model can excel in all regions of the world. Dell has
begun shipping product from its second manufacturing facility in
Xiamen, China, to meet the growing demand in the region.
Revenue in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) was up 18 percent
year-over-year and Dell increased its share in 16 of 19 direct
countries in the region. Shipments increased 25 percent
year-over-year, led by an increase of 54 percent in mobility products.
Sales in the Americas were up 10 percent year-over-year, with the
countries outside the U.S. increasing revenue 33 percent
year-over-year. Corporate revenue in the U.S., including small and
medium businesses, was up 12 percent year-over-year as business
customers continue to refresh and upgrade their IT infrastructures.
Storage Growth Highlights Product and Service Performance
Dell continued to hold the No. 1 worldwide share position. Dell
shipped 37 million units in the year, a 19 percent increase over the
previous year, and a record 10.2 million units in the fourth quarter,
a 15 percent year-over-year increase.
The transition to mobility products worldwide resulted in revenue
increases of 22 percent on shipment increases of 47 percent
year-over-year. Dell increased storage revenues 41 percent
year-over-year. Shipment of servers increased 11 percent
year-over-year, with strong growth in EMEA and APJ. Revenue for
enhanced services was up 26 percent.
Revenue for imaging products was up 17 percent year-over-year as
Dell moved its focus from single-function inkjets to color laser and
all-in-one inkjet printers. Consumable revenue continued to grow and
contribute more to overall imaging revenue, driving stronger
profitability.
New Products Enhance Customer Experience
Dell announced its first dual-core, widescreen notebook during the
quarter, one of three new products that deliver previously unavailable
features to enhance customers' experience in high-end gaming and
mobile productivity. Dell announced the Inspiron E1705 with Intel
Core(TM) Duo processors and a 17-inch display, the XPS 600
Renegade(TM) desktop gaming system and a 30-inch LCD monitor, all
providing extreme performance. Dell XPS desktop and notebook shipments
were up 20 percent year-over-year, which helped to drive a richer mix
of product sold in the consumer business.

Special Note
Statements in this press release that relate to future results and
events (including statements about Dell's anticipated financial and
operating performance) are forward-looking statements based on Dell's
current expectations. Actual results in future periods could differ
materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements
because of a number of risks and uncertainties, including: general
economic, business and industry conditions; the level and intensity of
competition in the technology industry and the pricing pressures that
have resulted; local economic and labor conditions, political
instability, unexpected regulatory changes, trade protection measures,
tax laws and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; the
ability to accurately predict product, customer and geographic sales
mix; the ability to timely and effectively manage periodic product
transitions; reliance on third-party suppliers for product components,
including dependence on several single-source supplier relationships;
the ability to effectively manage operating costs; the failure to
attract and retain qualified personnel; the level of demand for the
products and services Dell offers; the ability to manage inventory
levels to minimize excess inventory, declining inventory values and
obsolescence; and the effect of armed hostilities, terrorism, natural
disasters and public health issues on the economy generally, on the
level of demand for Dell's products and services and on Dell's ability
to manage its supply and delivery logistics in such an environment.
Additional discussion of these and other factors affecting Dell's
business and prospects is contained in Dell's periodic filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release includes additional Non-GAAP measures of gross
margin, operating expenses, operating income, income before income
taxes, income tax provision, net income, earnings per share, and cash
conversion cycle. These Non-GAAP measures have been adjusted to
exclude costs of servicing or replacing certain OptiPlex(TM) systems,
workforce realignment, product rationalizations, excess facilities, a
write-off of goodwill and related tax effects recognized in the third
quarter of fiscal year 2006. These Non-GAAP measures also exclude the
income tax benefit related to the repatriation of earnings under the
American Jobs Creation Act recorded in the second quarter of fiscal
year 2006. Non-GAAP results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year
ended January 28, 2005 exclude an income tax charge related to the
repatriation of earnings under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.
These adjustments to Dell's GAAP results are made with the intent of
providing both management and investors a more complete understanding
of the core underlying operational results and trends and Dell's
marketplace performance. Management believes that these additional
Non-GAAP measures provide a basis for which meaningful year-over-year
operating performance comparisons can be made and are consistent with
how senior management assesses the company's operating performance.
