| OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION | OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Dell Technologies is a leader in the global technology industry that designs, develops, manufactures, markets, sells, and supports a wide range of comprehensive and integrated solutions, products, and services. Dell Technologies offerings include servers, networking, storage, cloud solutions, desktops, notebooks, services, software, branded peripherals, and third-party software and peripherals. 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 30, 2026. 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 the Company as of May 1, 2026 and January 30, 2026 and the results of its operations, corresponding comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the three months ended May 1, 2026 and May 2, 2025. 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. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of its operations, corresponding comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the three months ended May 1, 2026 and May 2, 2025 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 ending January 29, 2027 and the fiscal year ended January 30, 2026 may be referred to as “Fiscal 2027” and “Fiscal 2026,” respectively. Both the fiscal year ending January 29, 2027 and the fiscal year ended January 30, 2026 are 52-week periods. Principles of Consolidation — These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Dell Technologies Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as well as the accounts of SecureWorks Corp. (“Secureworks”), which was majority-owned by Dell Technologies through the date of the sale of Secureworks as discussed below. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The Company also consolidates Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs") where it has been determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of the applicable entities’ operations. For each VIE, the primary beneficiary is the party that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to such VIE. In evaluating whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of each entity, the Company evaluates its power to direct the most significant activities of the VIE by considering the purpose and design of each entity and the risks each entity was designed to create and pass through to its respective variable interest holders. The Company also evaluates its economic interests in each of the VIEs. See Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding consolidated VIEs. Secureworks — On February 3, 2025, the sale of Secureworks to Sophos Inc., an affiliate of Thoma Bravo, L.P., was completed in an all-cash transaction for a purchase price of approximately $0.9 billion. The Company received total cash consideration for the equity interest held in Secureworks of approximately $0.6 billion, resulting in a gain on sale of $0.2 billion recognized in interest and other, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended May 2, 2025. Related Party Transactions — The Company enters into purchase and sales transactions with other publicly-traded and privately-held companies, as well as not-for-profit organizations, that could be influenced by members of the Company’s board of directors, executive officers, or significant stockholders. The Company enters into these arrangements in the ordinary course of its business. Transactions with related parties were immaterial for the three months ended May 1, 2026 and May 2, 2025. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Environmental Credits and Environmental Credit Obligations — In May 2026, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance to improve the financial accounting disclosure of environmental credits and environmental credit obligations, providing recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements for all entities that generate, purchase, or receive environmental credits or have a regulatory compliance obligation that may be settled with environmental credits. Public entities must adopt the new guidance for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance will be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact and timing of adoption of this guidance. Internal-Use Software — In September 2025, the FASB issued guidance to modernize internal-use software capitalization by removing references to software development project stages, increasing the operability of the recognition guidance permitting consideration of different methods of software development, including the agile method. Public entities must adopt the new guidance for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance may be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or through a modified approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact and timing of adoption of this guidance. Expense Disaggregation Disclosures — In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance to improve disclosures about a public entity’s expenses by requiring disclosure of additional information about the types of expenses commonly presented in the financial statements on an annual and interim basis. Public entities must adopt the new guidance for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance will be applied prospectively. Adoption of this new guidance will result in increased disclosures in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
