INTRODUCTION

Company Overview

Dell Technologies is a leader in the global technology industry focused on providing broad and innovative technology solutions for the data and artificial intelligence (“AI”) era. We build and offer solutions ranging from client devices and peripherals to infrastructure solutions across servers, networking, and storage to meet the evolving needs of our customers and drive better business outcomes. With our extensive portfolio and our commitment to innovation, we offer secure, integrated solutions that extend from the edge to the core to the cloud, and we are at the forefront of AI, software-defined, and cloud native infrastructure solutions. Our vision is to become the most essential technology partner. We intend to realize our vision by executing our strategy of leveraging our strengths to extend our leadership positions and capture new growth.

We are organized into two business units which are also our reportable segments: Infrastructure Solutions Group and Client Solutions Group.

Infrastructure Solutions Group (“ISG”) — We provide a comprehensive portfolio of advanced infrastructure solutions designed to help customers simplify, streamline, and automate information technology (“IT”) operations. ISG also offers software, peripherals, and services, including consulting and support and deployment. Our major product categories within ISG include our AI-optimized servers offerings, our traditional servers and networking offerings, and our storage offerings.

  • AI-optimized servers — We offer a specialized portfolio of AI-optimized servers designed to handle the most demanding compute-intensive workloads, including AI model training, fine-tuning, and inferencing.

  • Traditional servers and networking — Our traditional servers portfolio provides the trusted foundation for modern IT environments, supporting a wide range of general-purpose and mission-critical workloads, including certain AI-related workloads such as inferencing. Our networking portfolio helps our business customers transform and modernize their infrastructure, complementing our storage and AI-optimized and traditional servers offerings, and includes wide area network infrastructure, data center and edge networking switches, and cables and optics.

  • Storage — Our comprehensive storage portfolio includes modern and traditional storage solutions that span primary, unstructured and data protection offerings and are delivered through multiple architectures, including all-flash, purpose-built, software-defined, and hyper-converged infrastructure platforms.

Client Solutions Group (“CSG”) — Our CSG portfolio includes branded personal computers (“PCs”), including notebooks, desktops, and workstations, branded peripherals, and third-party software and peripherals. CSG also includes services offerings, such as configuration, support and deployment, and extended warranties. Our major product categories within CSG include our commercial offerings and consumer offerings.

  • Commercial — Our commercial portfolio provides customers with solutions centered on flexibility to address their complex needs such as IT modernization, hybrid work transformation, and other critical areas.

  • Consumer — Our consumer portfolio provides customers with solutions ranging from essential computing, connectivity, and productivity needs of the everyday user to powerful performance, processing, and end-user experiences in high-end consumer and gaming offerings.

Corporate and other primarily consists of our historical resale of standalone offerings of VMware LLC (formerly VMware, Inc. and individually and together with its subsidiaries, “VMware”), referred to as “VMware Resale.” These offerings are no longer actively sold and Corporate and other is not classified as an operating segment.

For further discussion regarding our current reportable segments, see “Results of Operations — Business Unit Results” and Note 15 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

We offer customers choices in how they acquire our solutions, including traditional purchasing and offerings under the Dell Payment Solutions portfolio. These offerings provide both payment and consumption solutions, including utility, subscription, as-a-Service, leases, and loans, which allow our customers to pay over time and provide them with operational and financial flexibility. Dell Financial Services and its affiliates (“DFS”) support financing solutions and services as part of the portfolio. For additional information about our financing arrangements, see Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

Business Trends and Challenges

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, we executed our strategy and delivered exceptional operating results, generating significant net revenue and operating income growth. The following trends and conditions affected the environment in which we operated:

  • Macroeconomic environment: We experienced substantial demand growth across our ISG offerings, resulting in ISG net revenue growth and a continued shift in the mix of the business towards our ISG offerings. Additionally, the demand environment was significant for our CSG offerings, resulting in CSG net revenue growth.

*•*Demand for AI-optimized servers: Our ISG business benefitted from substantial demand for our AI-optimized servers offerings as customers continue to adopt and further integrate AI, resulting in a significant increase in backlog as we exited the quarter. Given the scale of the AI opportunities, the varying stages of customer readiness, and the frequency of component part updates or transitions, there is inherent non-linearity in the timing of demand and subsequent shipments for our AI-optimized servers offerings, which continues to drive variability in our revenue.

  • Technology refresh: Within our ISG business, we continue to see customers modernize and consolidate their data centers as more customers transition to next-generation products and expand capacity to support growing workloads, which has resulted in significant demand within our traditional servers and networking offerings and our storage offerings. Additionally, within our CSG business, the PC refresh cycle is underway as customers continue to upgrade their devices, which has contributed to significant demand for our commercial offerings.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting us, see “Part II — Item 7A — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2026. Our exposure to market risks has not changed materially from that set forth in such Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4. — CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

This report includes the certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer required by Rule 13a-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). See Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 filed with this report. This Item 4 includes information concerning the controls and control evaluations referred to in those certifications.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

In connection with the preparation of this report, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of May 1, 2026. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of May 1, 2026, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We are in the process of an ongoing business modernization initiative to advance our capabilities, leverage new technology, and optimize business processes to change the way we work and make decisions, improve business outcomes, and reduce costs. As part of this initiative, we are modernizing accounting and finance systems. We have modified and will continue to modify the design and implementation of certain internal control processes to accommodate changes to our business processes and finance procedures, as our business modernization initiative continues.

There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended May 1, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
