Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Fiscal 2025 Financial Results

Information about Dell Technologies’ non-GAAP financial measures is provided under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below. All comparisons in this press release are year over year unless otherwise noted.

Operating Segments Results

Revised Consolidated Financial Statements and Non-GAAP Financial Measures for Correction of Immaterial Errors

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, Dell Technologies discovered accumulated credits from suppliers that were not recorded or not recorded in the correct period in its previously reported financial results. The company initiated an investigation that indicated that the credits resulted from the actions of certain employees that support a limited number of suppliers, impacting the Client Solutions Group segment and overstating cost of goods sold by approximately $200 million in fiscal 2024 and $148 million in fiscal 2025 for the nine months ended November 1, 2024.

The company determined the impacts were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to its previously issued consolidated financial statements for any of the prior quarters or the annual period in which they occurred. However, in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, the company concluded that correcting the cumulative misstatement in the current period would be material to its results of operations for fiscal 2025. The company has revised its prior period financial statements to correct for the overstatement of cost of goods sold in its Consolidated Statements of Income, net of the related income tax effect, and the corresponding amounts impacting the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position during the fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025 interim periods and for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2024 as shown on Exhibit A, “Revision of Previously Issued Financial Results.”
