NOTE 1 — EMC MERGER TRANSACTION, DIVESTITURESOTHER TRANSACTIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

EMC Merger Transaction — On October 12, 2015,September 7, 2016, EMC Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation (“EMC”), became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dell Technologies Inc. (formerly Denali Holding Inc., referred to("the Company") as Parent or Dell Technologies) entered into an agreement and plana result of the merger (the “EMC merger agreement”) with EMC Corporation (“EMC”), Dell Inc. (“Dell”) andof Universal Acquisition Co., a directDelaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parentthe Company (“EMC Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the EMC merger agreement, EMC Merger Sub will merge, with and into EMC, (“the EMC merger”), with EMC continuingsurviving as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

Upon the closing of the EMCCompany (the “EMC merger each share of EMC common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“EMC common stock”transaction”) owned immediately prior to the effective time of the EMC merger (other than shares owned by Parent, EMC Merger Sub, EMC or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and other than shares with respect to which EMC’s shareholders are entitled to and properly exercise appraisal rights) automatically will be converted into the right to receive the merger consideration, consisting of (1) $24.05 in cash, without interest, and (2) a number of shares of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Class V common stock of Parent (the “Class V Common Stock”) equal to the quotient (rounded to the nearest five decimal points) obtained by dividing (A) 222,966,450 by (B) the aggregate number of shares of EMC common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the EMC merger, plus cash in lieu of any fractional shares. No fractional shares of Class V Common Stock will be issued in the EMC merger. The approximately 223 million shares of Class V Common Stock issuable in the EMC merger (assuming EMC shareholders are not entitled to or do not properly exercise appraisal rights) are intended to track and reflect the economic performance of approximately 65% of EMC’s current economic interest in the business of VMware, Inc. (“VMware”), which currently consists of approximately 343 million shares of VMware common stock. Based on the number of shares of EMC common stock Parent currently expects will be issued and outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the EMC merger, it is estimated that EMC shareholders will receive in the EMC merger approximately 0.111 shares of Class V Common Stock for each share of EMC common stock.

. The EMC merger will be financed with a combinationtransaction was effected pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of equity and debt financing and cash on hand. As of September 6, 2016, Parent has obtained committed equity financing for up to $4.4 billion in the aggregate from Michael S. Dell, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and founder of Dell, a separate property trust for the benefit of Mr. Dell's wife, MSDC Denali Investors, L.P. and MSDC Denali EIV, LLC (the “MSD Partners Funds”), funds affiliated with Silver Lake Partners, and an affiliate of Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited. Parent also has obtained debt financing commitments for up to $26.3 billion in the aggregate from financial institutions for the purpose of financing the EMC merger and refinancing certain existing indebtedness of Parent and EMC. The obligations of the lenders under Parent’s debt financing commitments are subject to a number of customary conditions. During the three months ended July 29, 2016, subsidiaries of Parent issued a total of $20.0 billion of First Lien Notes and $3.25 billion of Senior Unsecured Notes, the proceeds of which will be applied to finance the EMC merger upon closing. Parent’s debt financing commitments will terminate upon the earlier of the termination of the EMC merger agreement in accordance with its terms or December 16, 2016. In addition, each of Parent and EMC has agreed to make available a certain amount of cash on hand (at least $2.95 billion, in the case of Parent, and $4.75 billion, in the case of EMC) at the completion of the EMC merger for the purpose of financing the transactions contemplated by the EMC merger agreement.

The completion of the EMC merger is subject to specified conditions, including (a) approval by EMC’s shareholders, which was obtained at a special meeting held on July 19, 2016, (b) the absence of an order or law prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated by the EMC merger agreement, (c) the effectiveness of the registration statement of Parent registering the shares of Class V Common Stock issuable in connection with the EMC merger and (d) the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the receipt of certain foreign antitrust approvals. In addition, each party’s obligation to consummate the EMC merger is subject to other conditions, including (1) the accuracy of the other party’s representations and warranties (including the absence of a material adverse effect), (2) the other party’s compliance with its obligations, (3) receipt by each party of an opinion of counsel,Merger, dated as of October 12, 2015, by and among the date of the EMC merger, as to certain tax matters and (4) the listing of the Class V Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market. Parent has applied to list the Class V Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange.

or if any governmental authority has issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the EMC merger,Company, Dell, Merger Sub, and such order, decree or ruling has become final and nonappealable. If the EMC merger agreement is terminated under certain specified circumstances, including in connection with EMC’s entry into a definitive agreement for a superior proposal, EMC must pay Parent a termination fee of $2.5 billion. Further, if the EMC merger agreement is terminated under specified circumstances and, within 12 months after the termination, EMC enters into a definitive agreement providing for, or consummates, an acquisition proposal, EMC will be obligated to pay Parent a termination fee of $2.5 billion. The EMC merger agreement also provides that Parent and Dell will be obligated to pay EMC a reverse termination fee of $4 billion under specified circumstances and, in certain instances, an alternative reverse termination fee of $6 billion.

fiscal quarter of Dell Technologies. The results of the acquired businesses will be reported on the basis of Dell Technologies' fiscal year end to align with the fiscal periods for which Dell Technologies reports its results.

The standalone results of VMware, Inc. ("VMware") will continue to be publicly reported on a calendar year end basis through the end of December 31, 2016, after which VMware will effect a change in its year end, and will be publicly reported on the basis of Dell Technologies' fiscal year end beginning February 4, 2017, to align with the fiscal periods for which Dell Technologies reports its results.

The Dell Technologies balance sheet reflects the full consolidation of EMC's assets and liabilities as a result of the close of the EMC merger transaction on September 7, 2016. The Company’s purchase accounting remains preliminary as contemplated by GAAP and, as a result, there may be upon further review future changes to the value and allocation of the acquired assets, liabilities assumed, associated amortization expense, and goodwill. These changes may be material.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for the three and sixnine months ended July 29,October 28, 2016 and July 31,October 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or for any other fiscal period.

NOTE 2— INTERIM UPDATE TO SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following interim update to the Company's significant accounting policies reflects the changes as a result of the EMC merger transaction.

Principles of Consolidation — These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dell Technologies and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as well as the accounts of SecureWorks, VMware, and Pivotal Software Inc. ("Pivotal"), companies which are majority-owned by Dell Technologies. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

On April 27, 2016, SecureWorks completed a registered underwritten IPO of its Class A common stock. As of October 28, 2016, Dell Technologies held approximately 87.5% of the outstanding equity interest in SecureWorks. Since the date of the IPO, the financial results of SecureWorks remain consolidated with those of Dell Technologies as Dell Technologies is the controlling stockholder of SecureWorks. The portion of the results of operations of SecureWorks allocable to its other owners is shown as net income attributable to the non-controlling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss), as an adjustment to net income attributable to Dell Technologies stockholders. Additionally, the cumulative portion of the results of operations of SecureWorks allocable to its other owners, along with the interest in the net assets of SecureWorks attributable to those other owners, is shown as a component of non-controlling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

As of October 28, 2016, Dell Technologies held approximately 83.3% of the outstanding equity interest in VMware. VMware’s financial results have been consolidated with those of Dell Technologies as Dell Technologies is VMware’s controlling stockholder. The results of VMware presented in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements represent the results of the acquired businesses from September 7, 2016, the date of the EMC merger transaction, through October 28, 2016, the end of the third fiscal quarter of Dell Technologies. The portion of the results of operations of VMware allocable to its other owners is shown as net income attributable to the non-controlling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) as an adjustment to net income attributable to Dell Technologies stockholders. Additionally, the cumulative portion of the results of operations of VMware allocable to its other owners, along with the interest in the net assets of VMware attributable to those other owners, is shown as a component of non-controlling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as of October 28, 2016.

As of October 28, 2016, Dell Technologies held approximately 77.4% of the outstanding equity interest in Pivotal. Pivotal’s financial results have been consolidated with those of Dell Technologies as Dell Technologies is Pivotal’s controlling stockholder. The results of Pivotal presented in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements represent the results of the acquired businesses from September 7, 2016, the date of the EMC merger transaction, through October 28, 2016, the end of the third fiscal quarter of Dell Technologies. A portion of the non-controlling interest in Pivotal is held by third parties in the form of a preferred equity instrument. Accordingly, there is no net income attributable to this non-controlling interest in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). The portion of the results of operations of Pivotal allocable to its other owners, whose interests are held in the form of common stock, and the interest in the net assets of Pivotal attributable to those other owners are shown as net income attributable to the non-controlling interest in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) as an adjustment to net income attributable to Dell Technologies stockholders, and as component of non-controlling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as of October 28, 2016, respectively.

Investments — All debt security investments with remaining maturities in excess of one year and substantially all equity and other securities are recorded as long-term investments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. In comparison, debt security instruments with a remaining maturity shorter than one year are classified as short-term investments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

Unrealized gains and temporary loss positions on investments classified as available-for-sale are included within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of any related tax effect. Upon realization, those amounts are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to interest and other, net. Realized gains and losses and other-than-temporary impairments are reflected in the consolidated income statement in interest and other, net. Investments accounted for under the cost method are measured at fair value initially. Subsequently, when there is an indicator of impairment, the impairment is recognized.

Revenue Recognition — Net revenue primarily includes sales of hardware, services, software licenses, and peripherals. The Company recognizes revenue for these products and services when it is realized or realizable and earned. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; the Company's fee to its customer is fixed or determinable; and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. This policy is applicable to all sales, including sales to resellers and end-users.

Revenue from third-party software sales and extended warranties for third-party products, for which the Company does not meet the criteria for gross revenue recognition, is recognized on a net basis. All other revenue is recognized on a gross basis.
Services revenue and cost of services revenue captions in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) include the Company's services, third-party software revenue, and support services related to the Company-owned software offerings.

The following summarizes the major terms of contractual relationships with customers and the manner in which the Company accounts for sales transactions.

Products

Product revenue consists of computer hardware, enterprise hardware, and software licenses sales that are delivered, sold as a subscription or sold on a consumption basis. Computer hardware and enterprise hardware include notebooks and desktop PCs, servers, storage hardware, and other hardware-related devices. Software license sales include optional, stand-alone software applications. Software applications provide customers with resource management, backup and archiving, information security, information management and intelligence, data analytics and server virtualization capabilities. Revenue from the sale of hardware products and systems is recognized when title and risk of loss pass to the customer. Delivery is considered complete when products have been shipped to the Company's customer, title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer, and customer acceptance has been satisfied. Customer acceptance is satisfied if acceptance is obtained from the customer, if all acceptance provisions lapse, or if the Company has evidence that all acceptance provisions have been satisfied. Depending on the nature of the arrangement, software license sales is generally recognized upon shipment or electronic delivery. For certain arrangements, revenue is recognized based on usage or ratably over the term of the arrangement.  License revenue from royalty arrangements is recognized upon either receipt of royalty reports or payments from third parties.

The Company records reductions to revenue for estimated customer sales returns, rebates, and certain other customer incentive programs. These reductions to revenue are made based upon reasonable and reliable estimates that are determined by historical experience, contractual terms, and current conditions. The primary factors affecting the Company's accrual for estimated customer returns include estimated return rates as well as the number of units shipped that have a right of return that has not expired as of the balance sheet date. If returns cannot be reliably estimated, revenue is not recognized until a reliable estimate can be made or the return right lapses.

The Company sells its products directly to customers as well as through other distribution channels, such as retailers, distributors, and resellers. The Company recognizes revenue on these sales when the reseller has economic substance apart from the Company; any credit risk has been identified and quantified; title and risk of loss have passed to the sales channel; the fee paid to the Company is not contingent upon resale or payment by the end user; and the Company has no further obligations related to bringing about resale or delivery.

Sales through the Company's distribution channels are primarily made under agreements allowing for limited rights of return, price protection, rebates, and marketing development funds. The Company has generally limited return rights through contractual caps or has an established selling history for these arrangements. Therefore, there is sufficient data to establish reasonable and reliable estimates of returns for the majority of these sales. To the extent price protection or return rights are not limited and a reliable estimate cannot be made, all of the revenue and related costs are deferred until the product has been sold to the end-user or the rights expire. The Company records estimated reductions to revenue or an expense for distribution channel programs at the later of the offer or the time revenue is recognized.
The Company defers the cost of shipped products awaiting revenue recognition until revenue is recognized.

Services

Services revenue consists of hardware and software maintenance, installation services, professional services, training revenue, third-party software revenue, and software sold as a service. The Company recognizes revenue from fixed-price support or maintenance contracts sold for both hardware and software ratably over the contract period and recognizes the costs associated with these contracts as incurred. For sales of extended warranties with a separate contract price, the Company defers revenue equal to the separately stated price. Revenue associated with undelivered elements is deferred and recorded when delivery occurs or services are provided. Revenue from extended warranty and service contracts, for which the Company is obligated to perform, is recorded as deferred revenue and subsequently recognized over the term of the contract on a straight-line basis or when the service is completed and the costs associated with these contracts are recognized as incurred.

Multiple Deliverables

When an arrangement has more than one element, such as hardware, software, and services contained in a single arrangement, the Company first allocates revenue based upon the relative selling price into two categories: (1) non-software components, such as hardware and any hardware-related items, such as required system software that functions with the hardware to deliver the essential functionality of the hardware and related post-contract customer support, software as a service subscriptions and other services; and (2) software components, such as optional software applications and related items, such as post-contract customer support and other services. The Company then allocates revenue within the non-software category to each element based upon its relative selling price using a hierarchy of vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”), third-party evidence of selling price (“TPE”), or estimated selling prices (“ESP”), if VSOE or TPE does not exist. The Company allocates revenue within the software category to the undelivered elements based upon their fair value using VSOE, with the residual revenue allocated to the delivered elements. If the Company cannot objectively determine the VSOE of the fair value of any undelivered software element, it defers revenue for all software components until all elements are delivered and services have been performed, until fair value can objectively be determined for any remaining undelivered elements, or until software maintenance is the only undelivered element, in which case revenue is recognized over the maintenance term for all software elements.

The Company allocates the amount of revenue recognized for delivered elements to the amount that is not subject to forfeiture or refund or contingent on the future delivery of products or services.

Customers under software maintenance agreements are entitled to receive updates and upgrades on a when-and-if-available basis, and various types of technical support based on the level of support purchased. In the event specific features, functionality, entitlements, or the release version of an upgrade or new product have been announced but not delivered, and customers will receive that upgrade or new product as part of a current software maintenance contract, a specified upgrade is deemed created and product revenues are deferred on purchases made after the announcement date until delivery of the upgrade or new product. The amount and elements to be deferred are dependent on whether the Company has established VSOE of fair value for the upgrade or new product.

Other

The Company records revenue from the sale of equipment under sales-type leases as product revenue in an amount equal to the present value of minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease. Sales-type leases also produce financing income, which is included in net revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and is recognized at consistent rates of return over the lease term. Revenue from operating leases is recognized over the lease period. The Company also offers qualified customers revolving credit lines for the purchase of products and services offered by the Company. Financing income attributable to these revolving loans is recognized in net revenue on an accrual basis.

The Company accrues for the estimated costs of systems’ warranty at the time of sale. Systems’ warranty costs are estimated based upon historical experience and specific identification of systems’ requirements.

The Company reports revenue net of any revenue-based taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are imposed on and concurrent with specific revenue-producing transactions.

Deferred Revenue — Deferred revenue represents amounts received in advance for extended warranty services, deferred hardware, software maintenance, prepaid professional services, and unearned license fees, which are recognized ratably over the contract term as either product or services revenue depending on the nature of the item. The Company also has deferred revenue related to internally-developed software offerings, and deferred profit on third-party software offerings, which are generally recognized ratably over the contract term as either product or services revenue depending on the nature of the item.

Research and Development — Research and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred. R&D costs include salaries and benefits and other personnel-related costs associated with product development. Also included in R&D expenses are infrastructure costs, which consist of equipment and material costs, facilities-related costs, depreciation expense, and intangible asset amortization.

Capitalized Software Development Costs — In accordance with the applicable accounting standards, software development costs related to the development of new product offerings are capitalized subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility, which is demonstrated by the completion of a detailed program design or working model, if no program design is completed. GAAP requires that annual amortization expense of the capitalized software development costs be the greater of the amounts computed using the ratio of gross revenue to a product's total current and anticipated revenues, or the straight-line method over the product's remaining estimated economic life. Capitalized costs are amortized over periods ranging from eighteen months to two years which represents the product's estimated economic life.
Amounts capitalized for the period from September 7, 2016 through October 28, 2016 were $85 million, and are included in other non-current assets, net in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Amortization expense for the period from September 7, 2016 through October 28, 2016 was $0.4 million. Prior to the EMC merger transaction, there were no significant capitalized software development costs specific to the legacy businesses of Dell Technologies Inc.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue from Contracts with Customers In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued amended guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The objective of the new standard is to establish a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most of the existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The new standard requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date of this standard. Public entities are required to adopt the new standard for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with the option of applying the standard as early as the original effective date for public entities.2017. The new revenue standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the method of adoption and the impact ofthat the new guidance,standard will have on the effective date, and the method of adoption.Consolidated Financial Statements.

Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs — In April 2015, the FASB issued amended guidance which changes the classification of debt issuance costs in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The new guidance requires debt issuance costs to be presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability consistent with the presentation of debt discounts, rather than as an asset as currently presented.asset. The guidance related to recognition and measurement of debt issuance costs remains unchanged. The Company implemented the new presentation in the sixnine months ended July 29,October 28, 2016 on a retrospective basis, and except for the reclassification of debt issuance costs of $128 million as of January 29, 2016 in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, there was no other impact toon the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities In January 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance on Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The standard addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. Public entities must adopt the new guidance for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance on the accounting for leasing transactions. The primary objective of this update is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements.  Public entities must adopt the new guidance for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Companies are required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting — In March 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance on the accounting for employee share-based payments. The topics that were amended in the update involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Public entities must adopt the new guidance for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments In June 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance which replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. Public entities must adopt the new guidance for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. All entities may adopt the amendments in the new standard as of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. However, earlier adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments — In August 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance on the presentation and classification of eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing existing diversity in practice. Public entities must adopt the new guidance for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. Companies should reflect any adjustments on a retrospective basis, if practicable, otherwise adoption is required to be applied as of the earliest date practicable. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of adoption as well as the impact that the standard will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

11Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory — In October 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance on the accounting for income taxes. The new guidance requires companies to recognize the income tax effects of intra-entity asset transfers, other than transfers of inventory, when the transfer occurs instead of when the asset is sold to a third party, as current GAAP requires. Public entities must adopt the new guidance for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted at the beginning of an annual period. The new guidance is required to be applied retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of adoption as well as the impact that the standard will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 3— BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

EMC Merger Transaction

On September 7, 2016, EMC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company as a result of the merger of Merger Sub with and into EMC, with EMC surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The EMC merger transaction was effected pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 12, 2015, by and among the Company, Dell, Merger Sub, and EMC, as amended by the First Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 16, 2016, by and among the Company, Dell, Merger Sub, and EMC.

Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, upon the completion of the EMC merger transaction, each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of EMC (approximately 2.0 billion as of September 7, 2016) was converted into the right to receive (1) $24.05 in cash, without interest, and (2) 0.11146 validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company designated as Class V Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class V Common Stock”), plus cash in lieu of any fractional shares. Shares of the Class V Common Stock were approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “DVMT” and began trading on September 7, 2016.

The Class V Common Stock is a type of common stock commonly referred to as a tracking stock, which is a class of common stock that is intended to track the economic performance of a defined set of assets and liabilities. The approximately 223 million shares of Class V Common Stock issued by Dell Technologies on September 7, 2016 are intended to track the economic performance of approximately 65% of the Company's economic interest in the Class V Group as of the closing date of the EMC merger transaction. As of the closing date of the EMC merger transaction, the Class V Group, which consists of the Company's economic interest in the VMware business, consisted of approximately 343 million shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of VMware held by the Company. As of such date, the DHI Group retained approximately 35% of the Company's economic interest in the Class V Group. The DHI Group generally refers, in addition to such retained interest, to the direct and indirect interest of Dell Technologies in all of Dell Technologies' business, assets, properties, liabilities, and preferred stock other than those attributable to the Class V Group.

Although the Class V Common Stock is intended to track the performance of approximately 65% of the Company’s economic interest in the VMware business as of the closing date of the EMC merger transaction, there can be no assurance that the market price of the Class V Common Stock will, in fact, reflect the performance of such economic interest. Holders of the Class V Common Stock are subject to all risks associated with an investment in Dell Technologies and all of its businesses, assets, and liabilities. The holders of the Class V Common Stock do not have any special rights related to, direct ownership interest in, or recourse against the assets and liabilities attributed to the Class V Group. While the Class V Group initially consists of the Company's economic interest in the shares of VMware common stock attributed to it, the Class V Group in the future may have different assets and liabilities attributed to it.

EMC, including its subsidiaries and affiliates, enables customers to build cloud-based infrastructures for existing applications while at the same time helping customers build and run new applications. EMC's businesses include Information Storage, VMware, Pivotal, RSA Information Security, and Virtustream. The EMC merger transaction represents a key element of the Company's strategy to provide the essential infrastructure for organizations to build their digital future, transform IT, and protect their most important asset, information. Revenues of approximately $3.6 billion and net loss of approximately $0.6 billion attributable to EMC were included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) from the transaction date to October 28, 2016. Both revenues and net loss attributable to EMC include the impact of purchase accounting as a result of the EMC merger transaction.

Fair Value of Consideration Transferred

The following table summarizes the consideration transferred to effect the EMC merger transaction:

Class V Common Stock (b)10,041
Total consideration transferred58,703
Non-controlling interests (c)6,097
Less: Post-merger stock compensation expense (d)(800)
Total purchase price to allocate$64,000
____________________
(a) Expense and other primarily consists of cash payment for post-merger stock compensation expense, as described in footnote (d), and the value related to pre-merger services of EMC equity awards converted to deferred cash awards
(b)The fair value of the Class V Common Stock is based on the issuance of approximately 223 million shares with a per-share fair value of $45.07 (the opening share price of the Class V Common Stock on the NYSE on September 7, 2016, the first day of trading), which shares are intended to track the economic performance of approximately 65% of the Company’s economic interest in the VMware business, as of the closing date of the EMC merger transaction.
(c)Non-controlling interests in VMware and Pivotal was $6.1 billion as of September 7, 2016. The fair value of the non-controlling interest relating to VMware was calculated by multiplying outstanding shares of VMware common stock that were not owned by EMC by $73.28 (the opening share price of VMware common stock on the NYSE on September 7, 2016). The fair value of the non-controlling interest relating to Pivotal was calculated based on the fair value of Pivotal, the ownership percentage of the non-controlling interests, and a discount for lack of control related to the non-controlling interest.
(d)Pursuant to the guidelines of ASC 805, a portion of the consideration related to accelerated EMC equity awards was recorded as post-merger day one stock compensation expense. This expense is attributable to post-merger services not rendered due to the acceleration.

Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

The EMC merger transaction has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed by major class as of the transaction date. Due to the timing of this acquisition, these amounts are preliminary estimates and subject to change. Any changes resulting from the facts and circumstances that existed as of the transaction date may result in retrospective adjustments to the preliminary amounts recognized at the transaction date. The Company expects to finalize these amounts as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the transaction date.

(d)Identifiable intangible assets are required to be measured at fair value. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets is determined primarily using variations of the income approach, which is based on the present value of the future after-tax cash flows attributable to each identifiable intangible asset. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of intangible asset values, from the perspective of a market participant, include, but are not limited to, the amount and timing of projected future cash flows (including revenue and profitability); the discount rate selected to measure the risks inherent in the future cash flows; the assessment of the asset’s life cycle; the competitive trends impacting the asset; technology migration factors; and customer turnover.
(e) Deferred revenue represents the fair value of remaining performance obligations and was determined based on estimates of costs incurred to-date by the acquiree or costs to be incurred by the Company and a reasonable profit margin. Profit margins were determined based on comparable service provider margins, and the resulting profits were discounted using market participant discount rates to determine fair value.

The preliminary fair values of EMC’s identifiable intangible assets and their weighted-average useful lives have been estimated as follows:
 Estimated Fair Value Weighted Average Useful Life
 (in millions) (in years)
Developed technology$13,460
 6
Customer relationships13,440
 11
Trade names (Indefinite lived)2,320

Trade names (Definite lived)980
 8
In-process research and development890

Leasehold assets (liabilities)128
 25
Total identifiable intangible assets$31,218
  

The total weighted-average amortization period for the intangible assets subject to amortization is 8 years.

Acquisition-related Costs

From inception through October 28, 2016, the Company incurred $1.2 billion of acquisition-related costs in connection with the EMC merger transaction. Of this amount, $0.8 billion are capitalized debt issuance costs which were primarily presented as a direct reduction of the carrying amount of the related debt liability in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The remaining $0.4 billion of costs were recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for the periods presented as follows:

(a) For purposes of calculating pro forma earnings (loss) per share, the Company used the two-class method. Earnings are allocated between the Class V Common Stock and the DHI Group on a basis consistent with historical earnings (loss) per share.

The pro forma information for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2016 combines the Company's historical results for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2016 with EMC's historical results for the period from August 1, 2016 to September 6, 2016 and the period from February 1, 2016 to September 6, 2016, respectively. The pro forma information for the three and nine months ended October 30, 2015 combines the Company's historical results for the three and nine months ended October 30, 2015 with EMC's results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. The historical results have been adjusted in the supplemental pro forma information to give effect to pro forma events that are (a) directly attributable to the EMC merger transaction, (b) factually supportable, and (c) expected to have a continuing impact on the combined company’s results. The pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only. The pro forma information does not purport to represent what the combined company’s results of operations or financial condition would have been had the EMC merger transaction actually occurred on the date indicated, and does not purport to project the combined company’s results of operations for any future period or as of any future date.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan

In connection with the EMC merger transaction completed on September 7, 2016, the Company assumed all of EMC’s defined benefit obligations and related plan assets, including a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the "Pension Plan"). The under-funded status of the Pension Plan as of September 7, 2016 was $97 million, which is classified as a component of other long-term liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. As of September 7, 2016, the Pension Plan had assets with a fair value of $493 million, which included common collective trusts of $341 million, corporate debt securities of $151 million, and U.S. Treasury securities of $1 million. In addition, certain of EMC's foreign subsidiaries also have defined benefit pension plans which were assumed as part of the EMC merger transaction and are not material to the results of operations or financial position of the Company.

(a) The tax benefits recorded during the three and six months ended July 29, 2016 were $0.5 billion and $0.9 billion, respectively. The additional tax benefit recorded in the three months ended July 29, 2016 was primarily due to the reversal of a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets that the Company now expects to utilize as a result of the DSG divestiture.
(a)The tax benefits of $37 million and $955 million for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2016, respectively, were primarily due to the Company's determination that it could no longer assert permanent reinvestment in the outside basis of the entities that will be divested when the Company entered into a definitive agreement to divest the business. The Company has recorded a deferred tax asset of approximately $1 billion for the outside basis differences for the entities held for sale, and has determined the asset is realizable.

(a)The tax expenses of $489 million and $152 million for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2016, respectively, were primarily due to the Company's determination that it could no longer assert permanent reinvestment in the outside basis of the DSG entities held for sale when the Company entered into a definitive agreement to divest the business. The additional tax recorded in the three months ended October 28, 2016 primarily resulted from structuring transactions in preparation for the disposition of these entities.

(a) The Company did not transfer any securities between levels during the sixnine months ended July 29,October 28, 2016.

The following section describes the valuation methodologies the Company uses to measure financial instruments at fair value:

Money Market Funds — The Company's investment in money market funds that are classified as cash equivalents have original maturitieshold underlying investments with a weighted average maturity of 90 days or less and are recognized at fair value. The valuations of these securities are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets, when available, or pricing models whereby all significant inputs are observable or can be derived from or corroborated by observable market data. The Company reviews security pricing and assesses liquidity on a quarterly basis. As of October 28, 2016, the Company's U.S. portfolio had no material exposure to money market funds with a fluctuating net asset value.

DuringCash Equivalent Municipal Obligations— The Company's municipal obligations that are classified as cash equivalents have original maturities of 90 days or less and are recognized at fair value. The valuation methodology for these securities is the three months ended July 29, 2016,same as the Company issued $23.25 billionmethodology for non-cash equivalent municipal obligations as described in the Debt Securities section below.

Debt Securities— The majority of the Company's debt securities consist of various fixed income securities such as U.S. government and agencies, U.S. corporate, and foreign. Valuation is based on pricing models whereby all significant inputs,

including benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issue spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and other market related data, are observable or can be derived from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset. Inputs are documented in connectionaccordance with the pending EMC merger transaction.fair value measurements hierarchy. The net proceeds were deposited directly into escrowCompany reviews security pricing and invested in money market funds. Asassesses liquidity on a quarterly basis. See Note 6 of July 29, 2016, these money market funds had a carrying value of approximately $23.3 billion, which was included in restricted cash and classified as non-current on the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about investments.
Equity Securities— The majority of Financial Position as the funds will be used to consummate the EMC merger transaction.Company's investments in equity and other securities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of strategic investments in publicly traded companies. The valuation of these securities is based on quoted prices in active markets.

Derivative Instruments — The Company's derivative financial instruments consist primarily of foreign currency forward and purchased option contracts and interest rate swaps. The fair value of the portfolio is determined using valuation models based on market observable inputs, including interest rate curves, forward and spot prices for currencies, and implied volatilities. Credit risk is also factored into the fair value calculation of the Company's derivative instrument portfolio. See Note 69 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the Company's derivative financial instrument activities.

Debt - Other — As of January 29, 2016, the Company recognized a portion of its short-term debt at fair value. This debt was represented by promissory notes issued on August 3, 2015 and September 14, 2015, which were extinguished during the sixnine months ended July 29,October 28, 2016. The Company determined fair value using a discounted cash flow model which included significant unobservable inputs and assumptions.  The unobservable inputs used include projected cash outflows over varying possible maturity dates, weighted by the probability of those possible outcomes, along with assumed discount rates.

Common Stock Purchase AgreementsThe equity financing agreements obtained by ParentOn September 7, 2016, in connection with the EMC merger transaction, described in Note 1the Company issued and sold the following shares of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements permit Michael S. Dell, the MSD Partners Funds, Silver Lake Partners, and Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited ("Temasek") to purchase ParentCompany's common stock at a fixedpurchase price of $27.50 per share contingent onto the closingpersons identified below for an aggregate purchase price of $4.4 billion, pursuant to four separate common stock purchase agreements:
86,909,091 shares of Class A Common Stock to the MD Stockholders
16,104,050 shares of Class A Common Stock to the MSDC Stockholders
38,805,040 shares of Class B Common Stock to the SLP Stockholders
18,181,818 shares of Class C Common Stock to Temasek Holdings Private Limited ("Temasek")

The Company applied the proceeds from the sale of the shares to finance a portion of the consideration for the EMC merger transaction. Each agreement also providesprovided for a price protection in the event additional equity investors purchase Parentpurchased common stock of the Company at a lower price. The agreements with Michael S. Dell, the MSD Partners Funds,MSDC Stockholders, and Silver Lake Partners arethe SLP Stockholders were not required to be remeasured to fair value and arewere effectively capital commitments, because of the degree of control and influence such persons cancould exercise over Parent, including control over when and at what price Parent will issue new shares, as well as the fact that the equity agreements were entered into solely for the purpose of financing the EMC merger transaction.Company. The provision relating to price protection iswas considered substantive to Temasek as an unrelated party. Consequently, the Company has recognized the contract as an asset or liability, initially recorded at fair value of zero, with subsequent changes in fair value recorded in earnings. As of July 29, 2016, the Company recorded a liability of $1 million related to the Temasek equity contract.

The Company determined the fair value of this forward contract using a Black-Scholes valuation model, which included significant unobservable inputs and assumptions. The unobservable inputs used include the current value of the Parent common stock, which was estimated based on a combination of a discounted cash flow methodology and a market approach, the probability of the EMC merger occurring, the time period to contract expiration, and the probability that Parent will issue its shares below the foregoing fixed price per share. Varying these inputs could materially alter the fair value recognized for this instrument.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis — Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and therefore are not included in the recurring fair value table above. These assets consist primarily of non-financial assets such as goodwill and intangible assets and investments accounted for under the cost method. See Note 710 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about goodwill and intangible assets. Investments accounted for under the cost method are measured at fair value initially. Subsequently, when there is an indicator of impairment, the impairment is recognized.

The Company's financing receivables are aggregated into the following categories:

Revolving loans — Revolving loans offered under private label credit financing programs provide qualified customers with a revolving credit line for the purchase of products and services offered by Dell. These private label credit financing programs are referred to as Dell Preferred Account ("DPA") and Dell Business Credit ("DBC"). The DPA product is primarily offered to individual consumer customers, and the DBC product is primarily offered to small and medium-sized commercial customers.

Based on historical payment patterns, revolving loan transactions are typically repaid within twelve months on average.

Fixed-term sales-type leases and loans — The Company enters into sales-type lease arrangements with customers who desire lease financing. Leases with business customers have fixed terms of generally two to four years. Future maturities of minimum lease payments as of July 29,October 28, 2016 were as follows: Fiscal 2017 - $885$505 million; Fiscal 2018 - $1,322$1,462 million; Fiscal 2019 - $747$883 million; Fiscal 2020 - $239$331 million; Fiscal 2021 and beyond - $52$74 million.

Credit Quality

The following table summarizes customer receivables, gross, including accrued interest, by credit quality indicator segregated by class, as of July 29,October 28, 2016 and January 29, 2016. The categories shown in the table below segregate customer receivables based on the relative degrees of credit risk. The credit quality indicators for DPA revolving accounts are measured primarily as of each quarter-end date, while all other indicators are generally updated on a periodic basis.

For DPA revolving receivables shown in the table below, the Company makes credit decisions based on proprietary scorecards, which include the customer's credit history, payment history, credit usage, and other credit agency-related elements. The higher quality category includes prime accounts generally of a higher credit quality that are comparable to U.S. customer FICO scores of 720 or above. The mid-category represents the mid-tier accounts that are comparable to U.S. customer FICO scores from 660 to 719. The lower category is generally sub-prime and represents lower credit quality accounts that are comparable to U.S customer FICO scores below 660. For the DBC revolving receivables and fixed-term commercial receivables shown in the table below, an internal grading system is utilized that assigns a credit level score based on a number of considerations, including liquidity, operating performance, and industry outlook. The grading criteria and classifications for the fixed-term products differ from those for the revolving products as loss experience varies between these product and customer groups. The credit quality categories cannot be compared between the different classes as loss experience varies substantially between the classes.

Securitizations and Structured Financing Debt

The Company transfers certain U.S. customer financing receivables to Special Purpose Entities ("SPEs") that meet the definition of a Variable Interest Entity ("VIE") and are consolidated, along with the associated debt, into the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, as the Company is the primary beneficiary of those VIEs. These SPEs are bankruptcy remote legal entities with separate assets and liabilities. The purpose of these SPEs is to facilitate the funding of customer receivables in the capital markets.

The following table shows financing receivables held by the consolidated VIEs as of the respective dates:

Financing receivables transferred via securitization through SPEs were $0.8$0.6 billion and $0.7 billion for both the three months ended July 29,October 28, 2016 and July 31,October 30, 2015, respectively, and $1.4$2.0 billion and $1.8$2.5 billion for the sixnine months ended July 29,October 28, 2016 and July 31,October 30, 2015, respectively.

Some of the SPEs have entered into financing arrangements with multi-seller conduits that, in turn, issue asset-backed debt securities in the capital markets. The Company's risk of loss related to securitizedstructured financing debt outstanding, collateralized by the financing receivables is limited to the amountheld by which

the consolidated VIEs, was $2.8 billion as of both October 28, 2016 and January 29, 2016. The Company's risk of loss related to securitized receivables is limited to the amount by which the Company's right to receive collections for assets securitized exceeds the amount required to pay interest, principal, and fees and expenses related to the asset-backed securities. The Company provides credit enhancement to the securitization in the form of over-collateralization.

The Company's total structured financing debt, which is collateralized by financing receivables in the United States, Canada, and Europe, was $3.5 billion and $3.4 billion as of July 29,both October 28, 2016 and January 29, 2016 respectively, under the following programs:

The structured financing debt program in the United States, which is related to the fixed-term lease and loan securitization program and the revolving loan securitization program, was $0.9$1.1 billion and $1.3 billion as of July 29,October 28, 2016 and January 29, 2016, respectively. This debt is collateralized solely by the U.S financing receivables in the programs. The debt has a variable interest rate and the duration of this debt is based on the terms of the underlying financing receivables. As of July 29,October 28, 2016, the total debt capacity related to the securitization programs was $2.1 billion. The Company enters into interest swap agreements to effectively convert the portion of its structured financing debt from a floating rate to a fixed rate. See Note 69 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about interest rate swaps.

The Company's securitization programs became effective on October 29, 2013. The revolving program, which was extended during the firstthird quarter of Fiscal 2017, is effective for four and one-half years. The fixed term program, which was extended during the first quarter of Fiscal 2016, is effective for four and one-half years. The programs contain standard structural features related to the performance of the securitized receivables which include defined credit losses, delinquencies, average credit scores, and minimum collection requirements. In the event one or more of these criteria are not met and the Company is unable to restructure the program, no further funding of receivables will be permitted and the timing of the Company's expected cash flows from over-collateralization will be delayed. As of July 29,October 28, 2016, these criteria were met.

The Company may periodically issue asset-backed debt securities to private investors. As of July 29,October 28, 2016, the associated debt balance of these securities was $2.0$1.7 billion. The asset-backed debt securities are collateralized solely by the U.S. fixed-term financing receivables in the offerings, which are held by SPEs. The interest rate on these securities is fixed and ranges from 0.26% to 3.61%, and the duration of these securities is based on the terms of the underlying financing receivables.

In connection with the Company's international financing operations, the Company has entered into revolving structured financing debt programs related to its fixed-term lease and loan products sold in Canada and Europe. As of July 29,October 28, 2016, the Canadian program, which was extended during the sixnine months ended July 29,October 28, 2016, had a total debt capacity of $167$164 million. This program is effective for two years, beginning on April 15, 2016, and is collateralized solely by the Canadian financing receivables. The European program, which was extended during the three months ended May 1, 2015, is effective for four years, beginning on December 23, 2013. The program is collateralized solely by the European financing receivables and had a total debt capacity of $665$654 million as of July 29,October 28, 2016. The aggregate outstanding balances of the Canadian and European revolving structured loans as of July 29,October 28, 2016 and January 29, 2016 were $580$576 million and $559 million, respectively.

Financing Receivable Sales

To manage certain concentrations of customer credit exposure, the Company may sell selected fixed-term financing receivables to unrelated third parties on a periodic basis. The amount of financing receivables sold was $98$200 million and $31$40 million during the sixnine months ended July 29,October 28, 2016 and July 31,October 30, 2015, respectively.

Upon the closing of the EMC merger transaction, the Company completed a private offeringrepaid and terminated the ABL Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facilities obtained in connection with the going-private transaction, and redeemed the Senior First Lien Notes issued in connection with the going-private transaction. During the nine months ended October 28, 2016, the Company repaid $0.5 billion of the Revolving Credit Facility obtained in connection with the EMC merger transaction and $0.4 billion of maturing Unsecured Notes and Debentures.

To finance the EMC merger transaction, the Company issued $45.9 billion in new debt, which included proceeds from the sale of the First Lien Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $20.0 billion, and on June 22, 2016, two subsidiaries of the Company completed a private offering of the Senior Unsecured Notes with an aggregate principal amountin June 2016, as well as borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (including the Revolving Credit Facility), the Asset Sale Bridge Facility, the Margin Bridge Facility, and the VMware Note Bridge Facility at the closing of $3.25 billion.

the transaction. The Company incurred approximately $245 million of other expenses related to these debt extinguishments and new borrowings. Under the terms of the agreements relating to the issuance of the First Lien Notes and Senior Unsecured Notes, the proceeds of the offerings were deposited into escrow with such proceeds to be released to finance the consummation of the EMC merger subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions. Upon the completion of the EMC merger, Dell International L.L.C. (a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Dell Technologies) and EMC will assume all of the co-issuers' obligations under the First Lien Notes and Senior Unsecured Notes, and the First Lien Notes and Senior Unsecured Notes will be guaranteed on a joint and several basis by Dell Technologies, Denali Intermediate Inc.

The net proceeds held in escrow from the private offerings of multiple series of the First Lien Notes and Senior Unsecured Notes were included in restricted cash in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as of July 29, 2016, and such proceeds will be held as restricted cash until the completion of the EMC merger. The receipt of the net proceeds is not reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, given that the proceeds were required to be deposited directly into escrow rather than into the Company's unrestricted cash accounts. During the three months ended July 29, 2016, as required under the escrow agreement, the Company prepaid interest into escrow in the amount of $40 million, which is reflected as a cash outflow from investing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. This amount will be returned to the Company upon the closing of the EMC merger transaction, at which time such proceeds were released to finance the transaction. Upon the closing of the EMC merger transaction, the Company received pre-funded interest in the amount of $58 million that the Company had previously paid into escrow and which will be paid to the holders of the First Lien Notes and Senior Unsecured Notes on the scheduled interest payment dates.dates, as well as investment income earned of approximately $14 million on that pre-funded interest.

Dell International L.L.C. ("Dell International") and EMC are the issuanceborrowers under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. As of October 28, 2016, available borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility totaled $1.6 billion. The Senior Secured Credit Facilities provide that the borrowers have the right at any time, subject to customary conditions, to request incremental term loans or incremental revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of up to (a) the greater of (i) $10.0 billion and (ii) 100% of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement) plus (b) an amount equal to voluntary prepayments of the First Lien Notesterm loan facilities and the revolving credit facility, subject to certain requirements, plus (c) an additional unlimited amount subject to a pro forma net first lien leverage ratio of 3.25:1.0.

The applicable margin under the Term Loan B Facility is subject to reduction based on a first lien leverage ratio test. The applicable margins under the Term Loan A-1 Facility, the Term Loan A-2 Facility, the Term Loan A-3 Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility vary based upon a corporate ratings-based pricing schedule.

NOTE 69 — DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Derivative Instruments

As part of its risk management strategy, the Company uses derivative instruments, primarily foreign currency forward and option contracts purchased options, and interest rate swaps, to hedge certain foreign currency and interest rate exposures.

The Company's objective is to offset gains and losses resulting from these exposures with gains and losses on the derivative contracts used to hedge the exposures, thereby reducing volatility of earnings and protecting the fair values of assets and liabilities. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the Company assesses hedge effectiveness both at the onset of the hedge and at regular intervals throughout the life of the derivative and recognizes any ineffective portion of the hedge in earnings as a component of interest and other, net. Hedge ineffectiveness recognized in earnings was not material during the three and sixnine months ended July 29,October 28, 2016 and July 31,October 30, 2015.

In connection with the EMC merger transaction, the Company acquired foreign exchange derivative instruments with a fair value of approximately $7.0 million as of the closing date of the transaction. The portfolio of instruments is comprised of foreign currency forward and option contracts that mature at various times within 12 months.  The Company elected to leave the acquired instruments undesignated from a hedge accounting perspective.

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts and purchased optionsoption contracts designated as cash flow hedges to protect against the foreign currency exchange rate risks inherent in its forecasted transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Hedge accounting is applied based upon the criteria established by accounting guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The risk of loss associated with purchased options is limited to premium amounts paid for the option contracts. The risk of loss associated with forward contracts is equal to the exchange rate differential from the time the contract is entered into until the time it is settled. The majority of these contracts typically expire in twelve months or less.

During the three and sixnine months ended July 29,October 28, 2016 and July 31,October 30, 2015, the Company did not discontinue any cash flow hedges related to foreign exchange contracts that had a material impact on the Company's results of operations due to the probability that the forecasted cash flows would not occur.

The Company uses forward contracts to hedge monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency. These contracts generally expire in three months or less, are considered economic hedges, and are not designated for hedge accounting. The change in the fair value of these instruments represents a natural hedge as their gains and losses offset the changes in the underlying fair value of the monetary assets and liabilities due to movements in currency exchange rates.

In connection with the expanded offerings of DFS in Europe, forward contracts are used to hedge financing receivables denominated in foreign currencies. These contracts are not designated for hedge accounting and most expire within three years or less.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge the variability in cash flows related to the interest rate payments on structured financing debt. The interest rate swaps economically convert the variable rate on the structured financing debt to a fixed interest rate to match the underlying fixed rate being received on fixed-term customer leases and loans. These contracts are not designated for hedge accounting and most expire within three years or less.

Interest rate swaps are utilized to manage the interest rate risk, at a portfolio level, associated with DFS operations in Europe. The interest rate swaps economically convert the fixed rate on financing receivables to a three-month Euribor floating rate basis in order to match the floating rate nature of the banks' funding pool. These contracts are not designated for hedge accounting and most expire within three years or less.

NOTE 710 — GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In connection with the going-private transaction on October 29, 2013, all of the Company’s tangible and intangible assets and liabilities were accounted for and recognized at fair value on the transaction date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was accounted for and recognized as goodwill. Accordingly, on the date of the going-private transaction, there was no excess fair value for any of the Company's goodwill reporting units.

Goodwill

The following table presents goodwill allocated to the Company's business segments as of July 29,October 28, 2016 and January 29, 2016, and changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the respective periods:

(a)Other Businesses, previously referred to as Corporate, consists of offerings by RSA Information Security, SecureWorks, Pivotal, and Boomi, Inc. ("Boomi").
(b)In connection with the EMC merger transaction on September 7, 2016, the Company recorded approximately $31.3 billion in goodwill, which has been preliminarily allocated to ISG, VMware, and Other Businesses. This amount represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with this transaction. See Note 3 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the EMC merger transaction.
(c)Goodwill reclassified as held for sale represents goodwill attributable to ECD, which was acquired as a part of the EMC merger transaction and subsequently classified as held for sale. See Note 4 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the ECD divestiture.
(d)Following the completion of the SecureWorks IPO during the nine months ended October 28, 2016, goodwill attributable to the SecureWorks business was re-allocated in a manner consistent with goodwill recognized by SecureWorks on a stand-alone basis.

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually during the third fiscal quarter and whenever events or circumstances may indicate that an impairment has occurred. Based on the results of the annual impairment test, which was a qualitative and quantitative test, no impairment of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets existed for any reporting unit as of October 30, 2015. As a result of this analysis, it was determined that the excess of fair value over carrying amount was greater than 15% for all of the Company's existing goodwill reporting units as of October 30, 2015. The announcements of the divestitures of Dell Services and DSG during the six months ended July 29, 2016 created triggering events that required assessments of goodwill. As a result of these assessments, the Company determined no impairment existed as of July 29,28, 2016. Further, the Company did not have any accumulated goodwill impairment charges as of July 29,October 28, 2016.

Management exercised significant judgment related to the above assessment, including the identification of goodwill reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to goodwill reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each goodwill reporting unit. The fair value of each goodwill reporting unit is generally estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology. This analysis requires significant judgments, including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, the estimation of the long-term growth rate of the Company's business, and the determination of the Company's weighted average cost of capital. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the fair value of the goodwill reporting unit, potentially resulting in a non-cash impairment charge.

NOTE 912 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Lease Commitments— The Company leases property and equipment, manufacturing facilities, and office space under non-cancelable leases. Certain of these leases obligate the Company to pay taxes, maintenance, and repair costs. At October 28, 2016, future minimum lease payments under these non-cancelable leases were as follows: $63 million in Fiscal 2017; $473 million in Fiscal 2018; $373 million in Fiscal 2019; $285 million in Fiscal 2020; $221 million in Fiscal 2021; and $963 million thereafter.

For the three and nine months ended October 28, 2016, rent expense under all leases totaled $110 million and $179 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended October 30, 2015, rent expense under all leases totaled $33 million and $99 million, respectively.

Purchase Obligations— The Company has contractual obligations to purchase goods or services, which specify significant
terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum, or variable price provisions; and the
approximate timing of the transaction. As of October 28, 2016, the Company had $2,510 million, $137 million, and $112 million in purchase obligations for Fiscal 2017, Fiscal 2018, and Fiscal 2019 and thereafter, respectively.

Legal Matters — The Company is involved in various claims, suits, assessments, investigations, and legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business, including those identified below, consisting of matters involving consumer, antitrust, tax, intellectual property, and other issues on a global basis. The Company accrues a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and that it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. The Company reviews these accruals at least quarterly and adjusts them to reflect ongoing negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other relevant information. To the extent new information is obtained and the Company's views on the probable outcomes of claims, suits, assessments, investigations, or legal proceedings change, changes in the Company's accrued liabilities would be recorded in the period in which such determination is made. For some matters, the amount of liability is not probable or the amount cannot be reasonably estimated and therefore accruals have not been made. The following is a discussion of the Company's significant legal matters and other proceedings:

EMC Merger Litigation — The Company, Dell, and Universal Acquisition Co. (“Universal”) have been named as defendants in fifteen putative class-action lawsuits brought by purported EMC shareholders and VMware stockholders challenging the proposed merger between the Company, Dell, and Universal on the one hand, and EMC on the other.other (the “EMC merger”).

The fifteen lawsuits seek, among other things, injunctive relief enjoining the EMC merger, rescission of the EMC merger if consummated, an award of fees and costs, and/or an award of damages.
The complaints in the IBEW, Barrett, Graulich, Vassallo, City of Miami, Lasker, Local Union No. 373, City of Lakeland, and Ma actions generally allege that the EMC directors breached their fiduciary duties to EMC shareholders in connection with the EMC merger by, among other things, failing to maximize shareholder value and agreeing to provisions in the EMC merger agreement that discourage competing bids. The complaints generally further allege that there were various conflicts of interest in the proposed transaction. The IBEW, Graulich, City of Miami, and Ma plaintiffs brought suit against the Company, Dell, and Universal for injunctive relief. The Barrett, Vassallo, Lasker, Lakeland, and Local Union No. 373 plaintiffs brought suit against the Company, Dell, and Universal as alleged aiders and abettors. After consolidating the nine complaints, by decision dated December 7, 2015, the Suffolk County, Massachusetts Superior Court, Business Litigation Session of the Suffolk County Superior Court in Massachusetts, dismissed all nine complaints for failure to make a demand on the EMC board of directors. On January 21, 2016,Three of the nine plaintiffs in the consolidated actions appealed. Thatappealed the judgment dismissing their complaints. The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court granted an application for direct appellate review, and heard oral argument on the appeal on November 7, 2016.

The complaints in the Walsh, Stull, Pancake, and Booth actions allege that the EMC directors breached their fiduciary duties to EMC shareholders in connection with the EMC merger by, among other things, failing to maximize shareholder value and agreeing to provisions in the EMC merger agreement that discourage competing bids. The complaints generally further allege that there were various conflicts of interest in the proposed transaction and that the preliminary SEC Form S-4 filed by the Company on December 14, 2015 in connection with the transaction contained material misstatements and omissions, in violation of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange

On April 26, 2016, the Court consolidated the actions and entered an order appointing Plaintiff Stull as lead plaintiff and his choice of counsel as lead and liaison counsel. On June 6, 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective the Company’s registration statement on Form S-4 relating to the EMC merger (the “SEC Form S-4”), including the amendments thereto. On June 17, 2016, the parties to the Walsh, Stull, Pancake, and Booth actions submitted to the Court a Stipulation and Proposed Order Dismissing Action and Retaining Jurisdiction to Determine Plaintiffs’ Counsel’s Application for an Award of Attorneys’ Fees and Reimbursement of Expenses. In the stipulation, the plaintiffs represented to the Court that they believe sufficient information had been disclosed to warrant dismissal of the actions as moot in light of the disclosures in the SEC Form S-4, including the amendments thereto. The Court has not yet entered the proposed order.order and the cases are now dismissed.

The amended complaints in the Jacobs and Ford actions allege that EMC, as the majority stockholder of VMware, Inc. ("VMware"), and the individual defendants, who are directors of EMC, VMware, or both, breached their fiduciary duties to minority stockholders of VMware Inc. ("VMware"), in connection with the proposed EMC merger by allegedly entering into or approving a merger that favors the interests of EMC and Dell at the expense of the minority stockholders. Under the amended complaint, the plaintiffs in the Jacobs action havealso brought suit against the Company, Dell, and Universal as alleged aiders and abettors. No oral argument date has been set forEffective December 2, 2016, the motionsparties entered into an agreement to dismiss/motions to stayresolve the Jacobs action.action, pursuant to which the plaintiff has voluntarily dismissed the action with prejudice. Under the amended complaint, the plaintiffs in the Ford action have also brought suit against the Company and individual defendantsDell for alleged breach of fiduciary duties to VMware and its stockholders, or, alternatively,and against the Company, Dell, and Universal for aiding and abetting the alleged breach of fiduciary duties by EMC and VMware’s directors. On November 17, 2015, the plaintiffs in the Ford action moved for a preliminary injunction and for expedited discovery. Certain defendants filed motions to dismiss the amended complaint in the Ford action on February 26, 2016 and February 29, 2016. On MarchJune 7, 2016, the defendants moved to stay or dismiss the Jacobs actionplaintiffs in favor of the Ford action.

An adverse judgment for monetary damages on any of the EMC merger litigations could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations. A preliminary injunction could delay or jeopardize the completion of the EMC merger, and an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin the completion of the EMC merger.

Appraisal Proceedings — Holders of shares of Dell common stock who did not vote on September 12, 2013 in favor of the proposal to adopt the amended going-private transaction agreement and who properly demanded appraisal of their shares and who otherwise comply with the requirements of Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporate Law ("DGCL") are entitled to seek appraisal for, and obtain payment in cash for the judicially determined "fair value" (as defined pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL) of, their shares in lieu of receiving the going-private transaction consideration. This appraised value could be more than, the same as, or less than the $13.75 per share going-private transaction consideration. Dell initially recorded a liability of $13.75 for each share with respect to which appraisal has been demanded and as to which the demand has not been withdrawn, together with interest at the statutory rate discussed below. As of July 29,October 28, 2016, this liability was approximately $129 million, compared to approximately $593 million as of January 29, 2016, as the Company settled a substantial portion of the liability during the threenine months ended July 29,October 28, 2016. Also during the threenine months ended July 29,October 28, 2016, as discussed further below, the Court of Chancery ruled that that the fair value of the appraisal shares as of October 29, 2013, the date on which the going-private transaction became effective, was $17.62 per share. The Company expectsOn November 21, 2016, the Chancery Court entered final judgment in the appraisal action. On November 22, 2016, Dell filed a notice of appeal to the Delaware Supreme Court. That appeal this ruling.is pending. The Company believes it was adequately reserved for the appraisal proceedings as of July 29,October 28, 2016.

Between October 29, 2013 and February 25, 2014, former Dell stockholders filed petitions in thirteen separate matters commencing appraisal proceedings in the Delaware Court of Chancery in which they seek a determination of the fair value of a total of approximately 38 million shares of Dell common stock plus interest, costs, and attorneys' fees. These matters have been consolidated as In Re Appraisal of Dell (C.A. No. 9322-VCL). The trial took place during the week of October 5, 2015.

The appraisal proceedings were conducted in accordance with the rules of the Delaware Court of Chancery. In these proceedings, the Court of Chancery determined the fair value of the shares as to which appraisal has been properly demanded, exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the going-private transaction. Interest on such fair value from the effective time of the going-private transaction through the date of payment of the judgment will be compounded quarterly and will accrue at a per annum rate of 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time. Any payment in respect of the shares subject to appraisal rights will be required to be paid in cash.

The petitioners sought $28.61 per share, plus interest. Dell, by contrast, believes that the fair value of Dell on the day the going-private transaction was completed was $12.68 per share. The number of shares subject to appraisal demands, including shares held by those parties who have sought appraisal but not filed petitions, originally was 38,766,982. By orders dated June 27 and September 10, 2014, and May 13, May 14, July 13 and July 28, 2015, the Court of Chancery dismissed claims of holders of approximately 2,530,322 shares for failure to comply with the statutory requirements for seeking appraisal. On July 30, 2015, Dell moved for summary judgment seeking to dismiss claims of holders of an additional 30,730,930 shares (as well as a number of shares previously disqualified on other grounds) because those shares were voted in favor of the going-private transaction, and thus failed to comply with the statutory requirements for seeking appraisal. On May 11, 2016, the Court of Chancery granted Dell's motion and dismissed the appraisal claims of the holders of the 30,730,930 shares, determining that they were entitled to the merger consideration without interest. On May 18, 2016, the petitioners filed a motion for an equitable award of interest, which was denied by the Court on May 31, 2016.

The Court of Chancery ruled on May 31, 2016, that the fair value of shares as of October 29, 2013, the date on which the going-private transaction became effective, was $17.62 per share. This ruling would entitle the holders of the remaining 5,505,730 shares to $17.62 per share, plus interest at a statutory rate, compounded quarterly. On June 6, 2016, the petitioners filed a motion to amend the Court’s memorandum opinion, which was denied by the Court on June 16, 2016. TheOn November 21, 2016, the Chancery Court of Chancery’s decisions are subject to review on appeal whenentered final judgment in the appraisal action.

On June 29, 2016, the Company, Dell, and certain funds affiliated with T. Rowe entered into a settlement agreement to resolve a dispute regarding the fair value and interest due on approximately 31,653,905 shares held by the funds, representing the 30,730,930 shares subject to claims that were dismissed on May 11, 2016 plus an additional 922,975 shares that had been previously disqualified on other grounds. The terms of the T. Rowe settlement, among other matters, provide that, in exchange for a release and dismissal of all asserted claims, the Company pay $13.75 per share for a total sum of approximately $463 million, including interest. On June 29, 2016, the Court entered an order approving the settlement, which was subsequently consummated. The remaining 5,505,730 shares not subject to the settlement agreement remain subject to the appraisal proceedings. On November 21, 2016, the Chancery Court entered final judgment in the appraisal action. On November 22, 2016, Dell filed a notice of appeal to the Delaware Supreme Court. That appeal is pending.

Securities Litigation — On May 22, 2014, a securities class action seeking compensatory damages was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned the City of Pontiac Employee Retirement System vs. Dell Inc. et. al. (Case No. 1:14-cv-03644).  The action names as defendants Dell Inc. and certain current and former executive officers, and alleges that Dell made false and misleading statements about Dell’s business operations and products between February 22, 2012 and May 22, 2012, which resulted in artificially inflated stock prices. The case was transferred to the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, where the defendants filed a motion to dismiss. TheOn September 16, 2016, the Court denied the motion to dismiss and the case is fully briefed and a ruling is expected in 2016.proceeding with discovery. The defendants believe the claims asserted are without merit and the risk of material loss is remote.

Copyright Levies — The Company's obligation to collect and remit copyright levies in certain European Union ("EU") countries may be affected by the resolution of legal proceedings pending in Germany against various companies, including Dell's German subsidiary, and elsewhere in the EU against other companies in Dell's industry. The plaintiffs in those proceedings, some of which are described below, generally seek to impose or modify the levies with respect to sales of such equipment as multifunction devices, phones, personal computers, and printers, alleging that such products enable the copying of copyrighted materials. Some of the proceedings also challenge whether the levy

schemes in those countries comply with EU law. Certain EU member countries that do not yet impose levies on digital devices are expected to implement legislation to enable them to extend existing levy schemes, while some other EU member countries are expected to limit the scope of levy schemes and their applicability in the digital hardware environment. Dell, other companies, and various industry associations have opposed the extension of levies to the

digital environment and have advocated alternative models of compensation to rights holders. The Company continues to collect levies in certain EU countries where it has determined that based on local laws it is probable that it has a payment obligation. The amount of levies is generally based on the number of products sold and the per-product amounts of the levies, which vary. The Company accrues a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and when it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss.

On December 29, 2005, Zentralstelle für private Überspielungsrechte ("ZPÜ"), a joint association of various German collecting societies, instituted arbitration proceedings against Dell's German subsidiary before the Board of Arbitration at the German Patent and Trademark Office in Munich, and subsequently filed a lawsuit in the German Regional Court in Munich on February 21, 2008, seeking levies to be paid on each personal computer sold by Dell in Germany through the end of calendar year 2007. On December 23, 2009, ZPÜ and the German industry association, BCH, reached a settlement regarding audio-video copyright levy litigation (with levies ranging from €3.15 to €13.65 per unit). Dell joined this settlement on February 23, 2010, and has paid the amounts due under the settlement. On March 25, 2014, ZPÜ and Dell reached a settlement for levies to be paid on each personal computer sold for the period of January 2, 2011 through December 31, 2016. The amount of the settlement is not material to the Company. The amount of any levies payable after calendar year 2016, as well as the Company's ability to recover such amounts through increased prices, remains uncertain.

German courts are also considering a lawsuit originally filed in July 2004 by VG Wort, a German collecting society representing certain copyright holders, against Hewlett-Packard Company in the Stuttgart Civil Court seeking levies on printers, and a lawsuit originally filed in September 2003 by the same plaintiff against Fujitsu Siemens Computer GmbH in Munich Civil Court in Munich, Germany seeking levies on personal computers. In each case, the civil and appellate courts held that the subject classes of equipment were subject to levies. In July 2011, the German Federal Supreme Court, to which the lower court holdings have been appealed, referred each case to the Court of Justice of the European Union, submitting a number of legal questions on the interpretation of the European Copyright Directive which the German Federal Supreme Court deems necessary for its decision. In August 2014, the German Supreme Court delivered an opinion ruling that printers and personal computers are subject to levies, and referred the case back to the Court of Appeals. Dell joined the industry settlement in the Fujitsu Siemens case, and Dell believes it has no remaining material obligations in either case. 

Proceedings seeking to impose or modify copyright levies for sales of digital devices also have been instituted in courts in other EU member states. Even in countries where Dell is not a party to such proceedings, decisions in those cases could impact Dell's business and the amount of copyright levies Dell may be required to collect.

The ultimate resolution of these proceedings and the associated financial impact to the Company, if any, including the number of units potentially affected, the amount of levies imposed, and the ability of the Company to recover such amounts, remain uncertain at this time. Should the courts determine there is liability for previous units shipped beyond the amount of levies the Company has collected or accrued, the Company would be liable for such incremental amounts. Recovery of any such amounts from others by the Company would be possible only on future collections related to future shipments.

Other Litigation - The various legal proceedings in which Dell is involved include commercial litigation and a variety of patent suits. In some of these cases, Dell is the sole defendant. More often, particularly in the patent suits, Dell is one of a number of defendants in the electronics and technology industries. Dell is actively defending a number of patent infringement suits, and several pending claims are in various stages of evaluation. While the number of patent cases has grownvaries over time, Dell does not currently anticipate that any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

As of July 29,October 28, 2016, the Company does not believe there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss exceeding the amounts already accrued for these or other proceedings or matters has been incurred. However, since the ultimate resolution of any such proceedings and matters is inherently unpredictable, the Company's business, financial condition, results of

operations, or cash flows could be materially affected in any particular period by unfavorable outcomes in one or more of these proceedings or matters. Whether the outcome of any claim, suit, assessment, investigation, or legal proceeding, individually or collectively, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows will

depend on a number of variables, including the nature, timing, and amount of any associated expenses, amounts paid in settlement, damages, or other remedies or consequences.

Indemnifications — In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into contractual arrangements under which it may agree to indemnify the third party to such arrangements from any losses incurred relating to the services it performs on behalf of the Company or for losses arising from certain events as defined in the particular contract, such as litigation or claims relating to past performance. Such indemnification obligations may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. Historically, payments related to these indemnifications have not been material to the Company.

NOTE 1013 — INCOME AND OTHER TAXES

For the three and sixnine months ended July 29,October 28, 2016, the Company's effective income tax raterates for continuing operations was 7.7%were 29.0% and -6.5%21.1% on pre-tax losses from continuing operations of $286 million$2.3 billion and $648 million,$2.9 billion, respectively. In comparison, forFor the three and sixnine months ended July 31,October 30, 2015, the Company's effective income tax rates were 10.2%6.0% and 9.0%8.1% on pre-tax losses from continuing operations of $325 million$0.3 billion and $811 million,$1.1 billion, respectively. The change in the Company's provision foreffective income taxestax rate was primarily attributable to tax charges on previously untaxed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that will no longer be permanently reinvested as a result of the Dell Services and DSG divestitures. These tax charges were $66 million and $201 million for the three and six months ended July 29, 2016, respectively. Off-setting these tax charges were increased tax benefits from interest expense in the United States for debt related tocharges associated with the EMC merger.merger transaction, including purchase accounting adjustments, interest charges, and stock-based compensation expense. These benefits were partially offset by a higher mix of operating income in higher-tax jurisdictions. See Note 21 and Note 53 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the divestitures and the EMC merger financing.transaction. The income tax rate for future quarters of Fiscal 2017 will be impacted by the actual mix of jurisdictions in which income is generated.

The differences between the estimated effective income tax rates and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% principally result from the Company's geographical distribution of income change in valuation allowance for deductible temporary differences or carryforwards, and differences between the book and tax treatment of certain items. A portion of the Company's operations is subject to a reduced tax rate or is free of tax under various tax holidays. A significant portion of these income tax benefits is related to a tax holiday that will expire on December 31, 2016. The Company has negotiated new terms for the affected subsidiary, which provides for a reduced income tax rate and will be effective for a two-year bridge period expiring in January 2019. The Company's other tax holidays will expire in whole or in part during Fiscal 2019 through Fiscal 2023. Many of these tax holidays and reduced tax rates may be extended when certain conditions are met or may be terminated early if certain conditions are not met.

During Fiscal 2014,With the EMC merger transaction, the Company acquired $6.2 billion of net deferred tax liabilities, which are included in other non-current assets and other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The Company has not provided deferred taxes on undistributed earnings and other basis differences of EMC’s foreign subsidiaries as it is the Company's intention for these to remain permanently reinvested.

Subsequent to October 28, 2016, the Company effectively settled its Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") issued a revised Revenue Agent's Report ("RAR")audit for fiscal years 2004 through 2006, proposing certain assessments primarily related to transfer pricing matters.  The Company disagrees with certain2006. See Note 22 of the proposed assessments and has contested them throughNotes to the IRS administrative appeals procedures.Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about the settlement. The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2007 through 2009 are currently under examination by the IRS, and the IRSwhich issued a RARRevenue Agent's Report ("RAR") related to those years during the sixnine months ended July 29,October 28, 2016.  Similar to the action taken in connection with the audit of the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2004 through 2006, theThe IRS has proposed adjustments relating to certain tax positions taken on the tax returns with which the Company disagrees and will contest through the IRS administrative appeals procedures.

The Company is also currently under income tax audits in various state and foreign jurisdictions.  The Company is undergoing negotiations, and in some cases contested proceedings, relating to tax matters with the taxing authorities in these jurisdictions.  The Company believes that it has provided adequate reserves related to all matters contained in tax periods open to examination.  Although the Company believes it has made adequate provisions for the uncertainties surrounding these audits, should the Company experience unfavorable outcomes, such outcomes could have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.  Although timing of resolution or closure of audits is not certain, the Company believes it is reasonably possible that tax audit resolutions could reduce its unrecognized tax benefits by an amount between $300 million to $750 million in the next twelve months.  Such a reduction could have a material effect on the Company’s effective tax rate.  Net unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would favorably affect the Company's effective tax rate.  With respect to major U.S. state and foreign taxing jurisdictions, the Company is generally not subject to tax examinations for years prior to fiscal year 2000.

Judgment is required in evaluating the Company's uncertain tax positions and determining the Company's provision for income taxes. The Company's net unrecognized tax benefits, included in accrued and other, and other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position was $3.2$3.8 billion and $3.1 billion as of July 29,October 28, 2016 and January 29, 2016, respectively. Included in the balance as of October 28, 2016 is $547 million of unrecognized tax benefits acquired as a part of the EMC merger transaction. Other than the IRS settlement described above, the Company does not anticipate a significant change to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.

The Company takes certain non-income tax positions in the jurisdictions in which it operates and has received certain non-income tax assessments from various jurisdictions. The Company believes that a material loss in these matters is not probable and that it is not reasonably possible that a material loss exceeding amounts already accrued has been incurred.  The Company believes its positions in these non-income tax litigation matters are supportable and that it ultimately will prevail.

NOTE 1215 — NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTINTERESTS

SecureWorksOn April 27, 2016, SecureWorks completed a registered underwritten IPO of its Class A common stock. Prior to the IPO, Dell Technologies owned indirectly, through Dell and Dell's subsidiaries, 100% of the outstanding equity interest in SecureWorks. Following the completion of the IPO, the non-controlling interest owned all of the SecureWorks Class A common stock outstanding, and Dell Technologies owned all of the SecureWorks Class B common stock outstanding. As of July 29, 2016, Dell Technologies held approximately 86.8% of the outstanding equity interest in SecureWorks, which represented approximately 98.5% of the combined voting power of both classes of the SecureWorks common stock outstanding. The non-controlling interest'sinterests' share of equity in SecureWorks is reflected as a component of the non-controlling interestinterests in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and was $126$88 million and $0 million as of July 29,October 28, 2016 and January 29, 2016, respectively.

The following table summarizesnon-controlling interests were assumed on September 7, 2016 in connection with the EMC merger transaction:

VMware — The non-controlling interests' share of equity in VMware is reflected as a component of the non-controlling interests on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and was $4,967 million as of October 28, 2016. As of October 28, 2016, the Company held approximately 83.3% of the outstanding equity interest in VMware.

Pivotal — A portion of the non-controlling interest in Pivotal is held by third parties in the form of a preferred equity instrument. Consequently, there is no net income attributable to such interest in Pivotal in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). Additionally, due to the terms of the preferred equity instrument, the non-controlling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position are generally not impacted by Pivotal’s equity-related activity. The preferred equity instrument is convertible into common shares at the non-controlling owner's election at any time.

The portion of the results of operations of Pivotal allocable to its other owners, whose interest is held in the form of common stock, is reflected as an adjustment to net income attributable to Dell Technologies in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The non-controlling interests’ share of equity in Pivotal is reflected as a component of the non-controlling interests in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and was $884 million as of October 28, 2016. As of October 28, 2016, the Company held approximately 77.4% of the outstanding equity interest in Pivotal.

NOTE 1316 — EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted-average effect of all common shares issued and outstanding and is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares used in the basic earnings (loss) per share calculation plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding.instruments. The Company excludes equity instruments from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share if the effect of including such instruments is antidilutive.

The Company has threetwo groups of common stock, denoted as the DHI Group Common Stock and the Class V Common Stock. The DHI Group Common Stock consists of four classes of common stock, denominatedreferred to as SeriesClass A SeriesCommon Stock, Class B Common Stock, Class C Common Stock, and Series CClass D Common Stock. The DHI Group generally refers to the direct and indirect interest of Dell Technologies in all of Dell Technologies' business, assets, properties, liabilities, and preferred stock other than those attributable to the Class V Group, as well as its retained interest in the Class V Group equal to approximately 35% of the Company's economic interest in the Class V Group as of the closing date of the EMC merger transaction. The Class V Common Stock is intended to track the economic performance of approximately 65% of the Company's economic interest in the Class V Group as of such date. As of the closing date of the EMC merger transaction, the Class V Group consisted of approximately 343 million shares of common stock. stock of VMware held by the Company. See Note 17 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Exhibit 99.1 filed with this report for more information regarding the allocation of earnings from Dell Technologies' interest in VMware between the DHI Group and the Class V Common Stock.

(a)The incremental dilution from VMware represents the impact of VMware's dilutive securities on the DHI Group and Class V Common Stock's respective diluted earnings (loss) per share and is calculated by multiplying the difference between VMware's basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share by the number of VMware shares owned by the Company.
(b)The dilutive effect of Class V stock-based incentive awards was not material to the calculation of the weighted-average Class V Common Stock outstanding. The antidilutive effect of these awards was also not material.
(c)Stock-based incentive awards have been excluded from the calculation of the DHI Group's diluted earnings (loss) per share because their effect would have been antidilutive, as the Company had a net loss from continuing operations attributable to the DHI Group for the periods presented.

NOTE 17— CAPITALIZATION

Reclassification — On September 5, 2016, before the registration of the Class V Common Stock of Dell Technologies under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in connection with the EMC merger transaction, holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Series A Common Stock, Series B Common Stock, and Series C Common Stock approved the Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”) and the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”). The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated Bylaws became effective on September 7, 2016 before the closing of the EMC merger transaction. Upon the effectiveness of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the outstanding shares of the Company’s Series A Common Stock, Series B Common Stock, and Series C Common Stock were automatically reclassified on a one-for-one basis into newly authorized shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, and Class C Common Stock, respectively (the “Reclassification”). The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation also amended the Company’s prior certificate of incorporation to authorize the Class D Common Stock and the Class V Common Stock. The Reclassification did not affect the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. Share information in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements has been restated to reflect the Reclassification.

Preferred Stock — Dell Technologies is authorized to issue one million shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share. As of October 28, 2016, no shares of preferred stock were issued or outstanding.

Common Stock

DHI Group Common Stock  — The Class A Common Stock, the Class B Common Stock, the Class C Common Stock, and the Class D Common Stock are collectively referred to as the DHI Group Common Stock. The par value for all classes of DHI Group Common Stock is $.01 per share. The Class A Common Stock, the Class B Common Stock, the Class C Common Stock, and the Class D Common Stock share equally in dividends declared or accumulated and have equal participation rights in undistributed earnings.

Class V Common Stock— In connection with the EMC merger transaction, Dell Technologies authorized the issuance of 343 million shares of Class V Common Stock. Dell Technologies issued 223 million shares of Class V Common Stock to EMC shareholders on September 7, 2016 in connection with the closing of the EMC merger transaction. These 223 million shares are intended to track the economic performance of approximately 65% of Dell Technologies' economic interest in the Class V Group as of the closing date of the EMC merger transaction, while the remaining 120 million authorized and unissued shares represent the DHI Group's retained interest in approximately 35% of Dell Technologies' economic interest in the Class V Group

as of such date. As of the closing date of the EMC merger transaction, the assets of the Class V Group consisted solely of 343 million shares of VMware common stock held by the Company. Each share of Class V Common Stock is identical in all respects and has equal rights, powers, and privileges to each other share of Class V Common Stock.

Dell Technologies' board of directors may, with the approval of the independent capital stock committee of the board of directors, reallocate assets or liabilities between the Class V Group and the DHI Group, which could result in a change to the DHI Group's retained interest in the Class V Group. The relative economic interests of the two Groups, including the DHI Group's retained interest in the Class V Group, could also change further if the Company issues or repurchases additional shares of Class V Common Stock.

See Exhibit 99.1 for more information regarding Unaudited Attributed Financial Information for Class V Group.

The Company has the authority and discretion to declare and pay (or to refrain from declaring and paying) dividends on outstanding shares of DHI Group Common Stock and dividends on outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock, in equal or unequal amounts, or only on the DHI Common Stock or the Class V Common Stock. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets, or winding up of the Company, the holders of shares of DHI Common Stock and the holders of shares of Class V Common Stock will be entitled to receive their proportionate interests in the assets of the Company remaining for distribution to holders of stock in proportion to the respective number of liquidation units per share of DHI Common Stock and Class V Common Stock, respectively.

Repurchases of Common Stock

Class V Common Stock Repurchases and Treasury Stock — On September 7, 2016, the Company's board of directors approved a stock repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to use assets of the DHI Group to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of shares of the Class V Common Stock over a two-year period. During the three months ended October 28, 2016, the Company repurchased 4 million shares of Class V Common Stock for $165 million, leaving 219 million shares outstanding as of the end of the quarter. The 4 million shares of Class V Common Stock were repurchased using cash of the DHI Group and are being held as treasury stock at cost. As of October 28, 2016, as a result of these repurchases, the holders of the Class V Common Stock owned shares which in the aggregate track the economic performance of approximately 64% of Dell Technologies' economic interest in the Class V Group, and the remaining 36% economic interest in the Class V Group was retained by the DHI Group. At October 28, 2016, the Company's remaining authorized amount for share repurchases was $835 million.

DHI Group Common Stock Repurchases and Treasury Stock — During the nine months ended October 28, 2016, the Company repurchased an immaterial number of shares of DHI Group Common Stock for approximately $10 million.

VMware Class A Common Stock Repurchases — In April 2016, VMware's board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1.2 billion of VMware's Class A common stock through the end of 2016. All shares repurchased under VMware's stock repurchase programs are retired. During the period from September 7, 2016 through October 28, 2016, VMware repurchased $611 million of its Class A common stock. The authorized amount for repurchases of VMware common stock was entirely utilized as of October 28, 2016.

NOTE 1418— STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Dell Technologies Inc. 2013 Stock Incentive PlanOn September 7, 2016, at the effective time of the EMC merger transaction, the Denali Holding Inc. 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) was amended and restated as the Dell Technologies Inc. 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Restated Plan"). Employees, consultants, non-employee directors, and other service providers of the Company or its affiliates are eligible to participate in the Restated Plan. The Restated Plan authorizes the issuance of an aggregate of 75 million shares of the Company’s Class C Common Stock and 500,000 shares of the Company’s Class V Common Stock, of which approximately 61 million shares of Class C Common Stock were previously reserved for issuance under the 2013 Plan. The Restated Plan authorizes the Company to grant stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted stock awards ("RSAs"), and dividend equivalents.

As of October 28, 2016 and January 29, 2016, there were approximately 21 million and 17 million shares, respectively, of common stock of Dell Technologies available for future grants under the Restated Plan and the 2013 Plan.

Stock Option Agreements — Stock options granted under the Restated Plan include service-based awards and performance-based awards. A majority of the service-based stock options vest pro-rata at each option anniversary date over a five year period. Performance-based stock options, with a market condition, become exercisable upon achievement of return on equity ("ROE") metrics up to the seven year anniversary of the going-private transaction date, depending upon the achievement of the market condition. Both service-based and performance-based stock options are granted with option exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company's common stock, as determined by the Company's board of directors. Generally, common stock issued under both service-based and performance-based awards are subject to liquidity events, such as an initial public offering, change in control, sales of common stock under an annual company liquidity program, and calls and puts resulting upon the occurrence of specified events. A majority of the stock options expire ten years after the date of grant. Compensation expense for service-based stock options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, while compensation expense for performance-based stock options, with a market condition, is recognized on a graded accelerated basis net of estimated forfeitures over the requisite service period.

Stock Option Activity — The following table summarizes stock option activity during the nine months ended October 28, 2016:

(a)Of the 53 million stock options outstanding on October 28, 2016, 23 million related to performance-based awards and 30 million related to service-based awards.

The total fair value of options vested was $1 million and $4 million for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2016, respectively, and $18 million and $20 million for the three and nine months ended October 30, 2015, respectively. The intrinsic value of the options exercised was $9 million and $14 million for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2016, respectively, and immaterial and $3 million for the three and nine months ended October 30, 2015, respectively. As of October 28, 2016 and January 29, 2016, there was $122 million and $183 million, respectively, of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested stock options expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.9 years and 3.6 years, respectively.

The tax benefit related to stock option expense was $9 million and $24 million for the three and nine months ended October 28, 2016, respectively, and $7 million and $19 million for the three and nine months ended October 30, 2015, respectively.

In connection with the EMC merger transaction and in accordance with the merger agreement, certain executives holding unvested restricted stock units of EMC ("EMC RSUs") were given the opportunity to elect to exchange each unvested EMC RSU held by such executives that would otherwise have vested in the ordinary course on or after January 1, 2017 for (a) a deferred cash award having a cash value equal to the closing price of a share of EMC common stock on the last trading day before the closing date of the EMC merger transaction, or $29.05, and (b) an option ("rollover option") to purchase a share of Class C Common Stock of Dell Technologies ("the rollover opportunity"). The rollover options have a three-year term and a per share exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of Class C Common Stock on the date of grant, or $27.50, and, to the extent vested, may be exercised using a cashless exercise method for both the exercise price and the applicable minimum required tax withholding (subject to certain limitations). Each deferred cash award will vest, and each rollover option will vest and thereby become exercisable, on the same schedule as the EMC RSU for which they were exchanged (with any performance-vesting condition deemed satisfied at the target level of performance upon the closing of the EMC merger transaction). Pursuant to the rollover opportunity, options to purchase shares of Class C Common Stock were issued and have been included within the stock option activity table above as granted options.
Valuation of Service-Based Stock Option Awards— For service-based stock options granted under the 2013 Plan and the Restated Plan, the Company utilized the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options at the grant date. The Black-Scholes option pricing model incorporates various assumptions, including leveraged adjusted volatility of a public peer group, expected term, risk-free interest rates, and dividend yields. The weighted assumptions utilized for valuation of options under this model as well as the weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the respective periods are presented below.

The expected term is based on historical experience and on the terms and conditions of the stock awards granted to employees. For the periods presented, option valuations used leverage-adjusted volatility of a peer group and the expected term was based on analysis of the Company's historical option settlement experience and on the terms and conditions of the stock awards granted.

The assumptions utilized in this model as well as the weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted are presented below:
 Nine Months Ended

 5.1
Risk-free rate (U.S. Government Treasury Note)1.0% 1.5%
Expected volatility52% 46%
Expected dividend yield% %
Forfeiture Rate6.1% 6.1%

Valuation of Performance-Based Stock Option Awards— For performance-based stock options granted under the 2013 Plan and the Restated Plan, the Company utilized the Monte Carlo valuation model to simulate probabilities of achievement of the market condition and the grant date fair value. The valuation model for performance-based option grants during the nine months ended October 28, 2016 and October 30, 2015 used a weighted-average leverage adjusted 5 years peer volatility and corresponding risk free interest rate. Upon fulfillment of a ROE condition, a specific portion of the performance options become exercisable.  An embedded binomial lattice option pricing model was used to determine the value of these exercisable options using the assumption that each option will be exercised at the midpoint between the date of satisfaction of a ROE condition and the expiration date of such option.

Restricted Stock Unit Awards— The Company's restricted stock primarily consists of RSU awards granted to employees. RSUs are valued based on the Company's Class C Common Stock price on the date of grant. The shares underlying the RSU awards are not issued until the RSU vests. Upon vesting, each RSU converts into one share of Class C Common Stock.

The Company's restricted stock also includes performance stock units ("PSU") awards, which have been granted to certain of the Company's executives and employees. The PSU awards include performance conditions and, in certain cases, a time-based vesting component. For PSU awards granted under the 2013 Plan and the Restated Plan, the Company utilized the Monte Carlo valuation model to simulate the probabilities of achievement of the market condition and the grant date fair value. The vesting and payout of the PSU awards depends upon the return on equity achieved on various measurement dates and liquidity events. Upon fulfillment of a ROE condition, a specific portion of the PSU award becomes exercisable.

SecureWorks Long-Term Incentive Plan — In connection with the SecureWorks IPO, its board of directors adopted the SecureWorks 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("2016 Plan"). The 2016 Plan became effective on April 18, 2016 and will expire on the tenth anniversary of the effective date unless the 2016 Plan is terminated earlier by the board of directors or in connection with a change in control of SecureWorks Corp. SecureWorks has reserved 8,500,000 shares of Class A common stock for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2016 Plan. The 2016 Plan provides for the grant of options, SARs, RSAs, RSUs, deferred stock units, unrestricted stock, dividend equivalent rights, other equity-based awards and cash bonus awards. Awards may be granted under the 2016 Plan to individuals who are employees, officers, or non-employee directors of SecureWorks or any of its affiliates, consultants and advisors who perform services for SecureWorks or any of its affiliates, and

any other individual whose participation in the 2016 Plan is determined to be in the best interests of SecureWorks by the compensation committee of the board of directors.

The stock option and restricted stock units activity under the 2016 Plan was not material during the nine months ended October 28, 2016.

VMware

The following VMware stock incentive plans were assumed on September 7, 2016 in connection with the EMC merger transaction:

VMware Equity PlansIn June 2007, VMware adopted its 2007 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”). As of October 28, 2016, the number of authorized shares under the 2007 Plan was 122 million. The number of shares underlying outstanding equity awards that VMware assumes in the course of business acquisitions are also added to the 2007 Plan reserve on an as-converted basis. VMware has assumed 4 million shares, which accordingly have been added to the authorized shares under the 2007 Plan reserve.

Awards under the 2007 Plan may be in the form of stock-based awards such as RSUs or stock options. Generally, restricted stock grants made under the 2007 Plan have a three-year to four-year period over which they vest and vest 25% the first year and semi-annually thereafter. VMware’s Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee determines the vesting schedule for all equity awards. VMware’s restricted stock also include PSU awards, which have been granted to certain VMware executives and employees. The PSU awards include performance conditions and, in certain cases, a time-based vesting component. Upon vesting, each PSU award will convert into VMware’s Class A common stock at various ratios ranging from 0.5 to 2.0 shares per PSU, depending upon the degree of achievement of the performance target designated by each individual award. If minimum performance thresholds are not achieved, then no shares will be issued.

The exercise price for a stock option awarded under the 2007 Plan shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of VMware Class A common stock on the date of grant. Most options granted under the 2007 Plan vest 25% after the first year and monthly thereafter over the following three years and expire between six and seven years from the date of grant. VMware utilizes both authorized and unissued shares to satisfy all shares issued under the 2007 Plan. As of October 28, 2016, there were an aggregate of 15 million shares of common stock available for issuance pursuant to future grants under the 2007 Plan.

The above table includes stock options granted in conjunction with unvested stock options assumed in business combinations. As a result, the weighted-average exercise price per share may vary from the VMware stock price at time of grant. Aggregate intrinsic values represent the total pretax intrinsic values based on VMware’s closing stock price of $77.65 as of October 28, 2016 as reported on the NYSE, which would have been received by the option holders had all in-the-money options been exercised as of that date. The total fair value of VMware stock options that vested during the period from September 7, 2016 through October 28, 2016 was $4 million. The intrinsic value of the options exercised during the period from September 7, 2016 through October 28, 2016 was $3 million. During the period from September 7, 2016 through October 28, 2016, $1 million in cash was received from the stock option exercises.

The tax benefit related to stock option expense was $1 million from the period from September 7, 2016 through October 28, 2016. As of October 28, 2016, there was $21 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested stock options expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.8 years.

Fair Value of VMware OptionsThe fair value of each option to acquire VMware Class A common stock granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The weighted-average grant date fair value of VMware stock options can fluctuate from period to period primarily due to higher valued options assumed through business combinations with exercise prices lower than the fair market value of VMware’s stock on the date of grant.

For all equity awards granted, volatility is based on an analysis of historical stock prices and implied volatilities of VMware’s Class A common stock. The expected term is based on historical exercise patterns and post-vesting termination behavior, the term of the purchase period for grants made under VMware's employee stock purchase plan, or the weighted-average remaining term for options assumed in acquisitions. VMware’s expected dividend yield input was zero as it has not historically paid, nor expects in the future to pay, cash dividends on its common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on a U.S. Treasury instrument whose term is consistent with the expected term of the stock options.

There were no options granted during the period from September 7, 2016 through October 28, 2016.

Business Trends and Challenges

We are seeing an unprecedented rate of change in the IT industry, butindustry. Organizations of all kinds are embracing digital technology to achieve their business objectives. Our vision is to be the essential infrastructure company and undisputed leader in end user computing, data center infrastructure solutions, virtualization, and cloud software that our strategy remains focusedcustomers continue to trust and rely on being a leading provider of scalable end-to-end technologyfor their IT solutions. We accelerate results for our customers by enabling them to be more efficient, mobile, informed, and secure.  We continue to invest in R&D, sales, and other key areas of our business to deliver superior products and solutionsolutions capabilities and to drive execution of long-term profitable growth. We believe that our results will improve over time in connection withbenefit from an integrated go-to-market strategy and the productivity initiatives directed at our salesforce and as a result of our differentiated products and solutions capabilities. We intend to continue to execute on our business model and seek to balance liquidity, profitability, and growth to position our company for long-term success.

We are able to leverage our traditional strength in the PC market to offer solutions and services that provide higher value recurring revenue streams. We anticipateGiven the macroeconomic environment and computing trends, we expect that the demand environment will continue to be uneven and expect intensifyingcyclical and that market competition in our Client Solutions Group business given the macroeconomic environment and computing trends.will intensify. However, we are committed to a long-term growth strategy that we believe will benefit from the consolidation trends that are occurring in the market.our markets. Our Client Solutions Group offerings remain an important element of our strategy, generating strong cash flow and opportunities for cross-selling of complementary solutions.

We expect that our ESG business, which will be referred to as ISG after the EMC merger,Infrastructure Solutions Group will continue to be adversely affected by declines in the traditional storage market. Throughand server markets. Cloud-native applications are expected to continue as a primary growth driver in the infrastructure market as IT organizations increasingly become multi-cloud environments. We believe the complementary cloud solutions across our business, created through our combination with EMC, strongly position us to meet these demands for our customers who are increasingly looking to leverage cloud based computing. Further, we will be able to provide new and more robust storage and data center solutions to meet the evolving needs of our customers. We also anticipate significant growth in demand for cloud offerings. We believe the complementary cloud solutions of Dell and EMC strongly position us to meet these demands for our customers who are increasingly looking to leverage the cloud. In addition, we also continue to be impacted by the emerging trends of enterprises deploying software-defined storage, hyper-converged, and modular solutions based on server-centric architectures. We believe that combining withhave leading solutions in these categories through our Dell EMC will complement and accelerate our overall position and strengthen ourVMware data center offerings. Additionally,In addition, through combinedour research and development efforts, of Dell and EMC, we will actively develop new solutions in this rapidly changing industry that we believe will enable us to continue to provide superior solutions to our customers.

We manage our business on a U.S. dollar basis. However, we have a large global presence, generating approximately 50% of our revenue by sales to customers outside of the United States during the first sixnine months of Fiscal 2017 and the first sixnine months of Fiscal 2016. Our revenues, therefore, can be impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We utilize a comprehensive hedging strategy intended to mitigate the impact of foreign currency volatility over time, and we adjust pricing when possible to further minimize foreign currency impacts. Our percentage of revenues generated in regions outside of the United States did not change substantially as a result of the EMC merger transaction.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In this management's discussion and analysis we use supplemental measures of our performance which are derived from our consolidated financial information but which are not presented in our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP product net revenue; non-GAAP services net revenue; non-GAAP net revenue; non-GAAP product gross margin; non-GAAP services gross margin; non-GAAP gross margin; non-GAAP operating expenses; non-GAAP operating income; non-GAAP net income from continuing operations; non-GAAP earnings from continuing operations attributable to Dell Technologies Inc. per share - diluted; earnings before interest and other, net, taxes, depreciation and amortization, referred to as EBITDA; and adjusted EBITDA.
 
We use non-GAAP financial measures to supplement financial information presented on a GAAP basis. We believe that excluding certain items from our GAAP results allows management to better understand our consolidated financial performance from period to period and better project our future consolidated financial performance as forecasts are developed at a level of detail different from that used to prepare GAAP-based financial measures. Moreover, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures will provide our stakeholders with useful information to help them evaluate our operating results by facilitating an enhanced understanding of our operating performance and enabling them to make more meaningful period to period comparisons.

In particular, we have excluded the impact of purchase accounting adjustments related to the going-private transaction. The going-private transaction was recorded using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations. This guidance prescribes that the purchase price be allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair value of such assets and liabilities on the date of the transaction. All of our assets and liabilities were accounted for and recognized at fair value as of the transaction date, and the fair value adjustments are being amortized over the estimated useful lives in the periods following the transaction, while the ongoing business and operations did not change. As a result, we believe that excluding these adjustments provides results that are useful in understanding our operating performance, and aligns with how we manage our business. Excluding these adjustments also provides for more comparable operating results over the periods presented.

There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this report. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

Non-GAAP product net revenue, non-GAAP services net revenue, non-GAAP net revenue, non-GAAP product gross margin, non-GAAP services gross margin, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, and non-GAAP net income from continuing operations, and non-GAAP earnings from continuing operations attributable to Dell Technologies Inc. per share, as defined by us, exclude the following items: the impact of purchase accounting, amortization of intangible assets, transaction-related expenses, other corporate expenses, and for non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP earnings from continuing operations attributable to Dell Technologies Inc. per share, an aggregate adjustment for income taxes. As the excluded items have a material impact on our financial results, our management compensates for this limitation by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures supplementally or for projections when comparable GAAP financial measures are not available. The non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered as indicators of performance in isolation from or as a substitute for net revenue, gross margin, operating expenses, operating income, or net income prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis.

Reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are presented below. We encourage you to review the reconciliations in conjunction with the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures for each of the periods presented. See the discussion below for more information on each of the excluded items as well as our reasons for excluding them from our non-GAAP results. In future fiscal periods, we may exclude such items and may incur income and expenses similar to these excluded items. Accordingly, the exclusion of these items and other similar items in our non-GAAP presentation should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent, or unusual.

Table of Contents

The following is a summary of the items excluded from the most comparable GAAP financial measures to calculate our non-GAAP financial measures:

Impact of Purchase Accounting The impact of purchase accounting includes purchase accounting adjustments, related to the EMC merger transaction and the going-private transaction, recorded under the acquisition method of accounting relatedin accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations. This guidance prescribes that the purchase price be allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair value of such assets and liabilities on the date of the transaction. Accordingly, all of the assets and liabilities acquired in the EMC merger transaction and the going-private transaction. Purchase accounting adjustments primarily includetransaction were accounted for and recognized at fair value as of the respective transaction dates, and the fair value adjustments madeare being amortized over the estimated useful lives in the periods following the transactions. The fair value adjustments primarily relate to deferred revenue, inventory, and property, plant, and equipment whichequipment. The purchase accounting adjustments and related amortization of those adjustments are recorded over time.reflected in our GAAP results; however, we evaluate the operating results of the underlying businesses on a non-GAAP basis, after removing such adjustments. We exclude these charges for purposesbelieve that excluding the impact of calculating the non-GAAP financial measures presented below to facilitate a more meaningful evaluation ofpurchase accounting provides results that are useful in understanding our current operating performance and provides more meaningful comparisons to our past operating performance.

Table of Contents


Amortization of Intangible Assets Amortization of intangible assets primarily consists of amortization of customer relationships, developed technology, and trade names. In connection with the EMC merger transaction and the going-private transaction, all of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of EMC and Dell, Technologiesrespectively, were accounted for and recognized at fair value on the transaction date.dates. Accordingly, for the periods presented, amortization of intangible assets represents amortization associated with intangible assets recognized in connection with the EMC merger transaction and the going-private transaction. Amortization charges for purchased intangible assets are significantly impacted by the timing and magnitude of our acquisitions, and these charges may vary in amount from period to period. We exclude these charges for purposes of calculating the non-GAAP financial measures presented below to facilitate a more meaningful evaluation of our current operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance.

Transaction-related ExpensesTransaction related expenses consists of acquisition and integration related charges which are expensed as incurred and consist primarily of consulting and advisory services and retention payments. In addition, during the third quarter of Fiscal 2017, acquisition-related expenses includes $807 million in day one stock-based compensation charges primarily related to the acceleration of vesting of EMC stock options and related taxes incurred in connection with the EMC merger transaction. During the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2017, substantially all transaction-related expenses relate to the EMC merger transaction. Although not material in the periods presented, we anticipate that integration costs will increase in the next twelve months, primarily as the result of the integration of processes and systems of the EMC acquired businesses.

Other Corporate Expenses — Other corporate expenses consists of severance and facility action costs, primarily related to severance and benefits for employees terminated pursuant to cost savings initiatives, and stock-based compensation expense associated with equity awards. Although not material in the following items:

Severance and facility action costs primarily related to severance and benefits for employees terminated pursuant to cost savings initiatives.
Acquisition, integration, and divestiture related charges which are expensed as incurred and consist primarily of consulting and advisory services and retention payments. During the second quarter and first six months of Fiscal 2017, these charges include $72 million and $128 million, respectively, of operating expenses related to the pending EMC merger.
Stock-based compensation expense associated with equity awards.

periods presented, we expect facility action costs to increase in the next twelve months due to our plan to integrate owned and leased facilities, as we seek opportunities for operational efficiencies and cost savings. Other corporate expenses vary from period to period and are significantly impacted by the timing and nature of these events. Therefore, although we may incur these types of expenses in the future, we believe that eliminating these charges for purposes of calculating the non-GAAP financial measures presented below facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of our current operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance.

Aggregate Adjustment for Income Taxes — The aggregate adjustment for income taxes is the estimated combined income tax effect for the adjustments mentioneddescribed above. During the second quarter andfirst nine months of Fiscal 2017, this category also includes tax charges of approximately $201 million, recorded during the first six months of Fiscal 2017, this amount also includes tax charges of approximately $66 million and $201 million, respectively, on previously untaxed earnings of a foreign subsidiary that will no longer be permanently reinvested as a result of the Dell Services and DSG divestitures. The tax effects are determined based on the tax jurisdictions where the above items were incurred. No similar tax charges on divestitures were recorded during the third quarter of Fiscal 2017.

Non-GAAP Adjustments Per Share — This financial measure shows the cumulative impact of the above adjustments on earnings per share - diluted.

In addition to the above measures, we also use EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to provide additional information for evaluation of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA excludes purchase accounting adjustments related to the EMC merger transaction and the going-private transaction, severance and facility actions, acquisition, integration, and divestiture related costs, severance and facility actions, and stock-based compensation expense. We believe that due to the non-operational nature of the purchase accounting entries, it is appropriate to exclude these adjustments. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provide more comparability between our historical results prior to the completion of the going-private transaction and historical results that reflect our capital structure upon the completion of the going-private transaction.

As is the case with the non-GAAP measures presented above, users should consider the limitations of using EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, including the fact that those measures do not provide a complete measure of our operating performance. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA do not purport to be alternatives to net income (loss) as measures of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. In particular, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be a measure of free cash flow available for management’s discretionary use, as these measures do not consider certain cash requirements, such as working capital needs, capital expenditures, contractual commitments, interest payments, tax payments, and other debt service requirements.

Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in highlighting trends because they exclude the results

As a result of the EMC merger transaction completed on September 7, 2016, our results for the fiscal periods discussed below are not directly comparable.

Overview

During the secondthird quarter and first sixnine months of Fiscal 2017, our net revenue increased 28% and 9%, respectively, and our non-GAAP net revenue increased 31% and 9%, respectively. The increase in net revenue and non-GAAP net revenue werewas attributable to revenue from the EMC acquired businesses, while revenue from our legacy businesses remained relatively unchanged. Client SolutionsThe EMC merger transaction had an impact on the mix of revenue contributed by our business units. CSG net revenue represented approximately 70%57% of our total net revenue during the third quarter of Fiscal 2017, and 65% of our total net revenue during and first nine months of Fiscal 2017. In comparison, CSG net revenue represented a higher proportion of our revenue prior to the EMC merger transaction, comprising approximately 71% of our total net revenue for both the secondthird quarter and the first sixnine months of Fiscal 2016.

During the third quarters of Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal 2016, our operating loss was $1.5 billion and $0.1 billion, respectively. During the first nine months of Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal 2016.

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2017,2016, our operating incomeloss was $0.1$1.6 billion compared to anand $0.5 billion, respectively. The increase in our operating loss of $0.1 billion duringfor the secondthird quarter of Fiscal 2016. During theand first sixnine months of Fiscal 2017 ourwas primarily attributable to an increase in purchase accounting adjustments and amortization of intangible assets related to the EMC merger transaction, and an increase in compensation and benefits expense. The increases in operating expenses were partially offset by the favorable impact of gross margin from the EMC acquired businesses.

Our operating loss was $0.1 billion, compared to an operating loss of $0.4 billion during the first six months of Fiscal 2016. Our operating income includesimpacted by purchase accounting adjustments associated with the EMC merger transaction and the going-private transaction, amortization of intangible assets, costs related to acquisition, integration, and divestitures, and other corporate expenses.

The increases in product gross margin in dollars and percentages during the third quarter of Fiscal 2017 were due in equal portions to an increase in CSG gross margin and the incremental product gross margins attributable to the EMC acquired businesses. The increases in product gross margin in dollars and percentages during the first nine months of Fiscal 2017 were driven primarily by an increase in CSG gross margin and, to a lesser extent, by the incremental product gross margins attributable to the EMC acquired businesses.

During the third quarter of Fiscal 2017, non-GAAP product gross margin dollars increased 102%, and non-GAAP product gross margin percentage increased 940 basis points to 22.8%.

Vendor Programs and Settlements

Our gross margin is affected by our ability to achieve competitive pricing with our vendors and contract manufacturers, including through our negotiation of a variety of vendor rebate programs to achieve lower net costs for the various components we include in our products. Under these programs, vendors provide us with rebates or other discounts from the list prices for the components, which are generally elements of their pricing strategy. We account for vendor rebates and other discounts as a


61

Table of Contents

reduction in cost of net revenue. We manage our costs on a total net cost basis, which includes supplier list prices reduced by vendor rebates and other discounts.

The terms and conditions of our vendor rebate programs are largely based on product volumes and are generally negotiated either at the beginning of the annual or quarterly period, depending on the program. The timing and amount of vendor rebates and other discounts we receive under the programs may vary from period to period, reflecting changes in the competitive environment. We monitor our component costs and seek to address the effects of any changes to terms that might arise under our vendor rebate programs. Our gross margins for the secondthird quarter and first sixnine months of Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal 2016 were not materially affected by any changes to the terms of our vendor rebate programs, as the amounts we received under these programs were generally stable relative to our total net cost. We are not aware of any significant programmatic changes to vendor pricing or rebate programs that may impact our results in the near term.

In addition, we have pursued legal action against certain vendors and are currently involved in negotiations with other vendors regarding their past pricing practices. We have negotiated settlements with some of these vendors and may have additional settlements in future quarters. These settlements are allocated to our segments based on the relative amount of affected vendor products used by each segment. As discussed above, a pricing settlement was recorded in the third quarter of Fiscal 2017 that benefited product gross margins by $80 million in the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2017. No such vendor pricing settlements were recorded in the secondthird quarter orand first sixnine months of Fiscal 20172016 that would havehad a material impact on product gross marginsmargin in those periods, or affectaffected the comparability with product gross margin in the second quarter or first six months of Fiscal 2016.2017 periods.

During the secondthird quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2017, changes in interest and other, net were unfavorable by $127$591 million and $762 million, respectively, primarily due to an increase in interest expense from higher average debt balances from debt issued in connection with the pending EMC merger transaction. The increase in interest expense was partially offset by a decrease in foreign exchange losses attributabletransaction, and to a decrease in trading costsapproximately $245 million of other expenses related to debt extinguishment and certain revaluations of un-hedged foreign currencies. Other expenses included the recognition of a benefit of approximately $5 million representing the fair value adjustment on the common stock purchase agreementnew borrowings associated with Temasek entered into in connection with the pending EMC mergerthat transaction.

During the first six months of Fiscal 2017, changes in interest and other, net were unfavorable by $171 million when compared to the same period in Fiscal 2016. Overall, this change was attributable to an increase in interest expense, driven by higher debt balances over the period. Other expenses included the recognition of approximately $11 million of expense representing the fair value adjustment on the common stock purchase agreement with Temasek entered into in connection with the pending EMC merger transaction.

The change in the Company's provision forour effective income taxestax rate was primarily attributable to tax charges on previously untaxed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that will no longer be permanently reinvested as a result of the Dell Services and DSG divestitures.

Off-setting these tax charges were increased tax benefits from interest expense in the United States for debt related tocharges associated with the EMC merger.merger transaction, including purchase accounting adjustments, interest charges, and stock based compensation expenses. These benefits were partially off-set by a higher mix of operating income in higher-tax jurisdictions. See Note 21 and Note 53 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for more information on the divestitures and the EMC merger financing.transaction. The income tax rate for future quarters of Fiscal 2017periods will be impacted by the actual mix of jurisdictions in which income is generated.

Our effective tax rate can fluctuate depending on the geographic distribution of our world-wide earnings, as our foreign earnings are generally taxed at lower rates than in the United States. In certain jurisdictions, our tax rate is significantly less than the applicable statutory rate as a result of tax holidays. The majority of our foreign income that is subject to these tax holidays and lower tax rates is attributable to Singapore, China, and Malaysia. A significant portion of these income tax benefits is related to a tax holiday that will expire on December 31, 2016. We have negotiated new terms for the affected subsidiary, which provides for a reduced income tax rate andthat will be effective for a two-year bridge period expiring in January

2019. Our other tax holidays will expire in whole or in part during Fiscal 2019 through Fiscal 2023. Many of these tax holidays and reduced tax rates may be extended when certain conditions are met or may be terminated early if certain conditions are not met. The differences between our effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% principally resulted from the geographical distribution of taxable income discussed above and permanent differences between the book and tax treatment of certain items.  We continue to assess our business model and its impact in various taxing jurisdictions.

For further discussion regarding tax matters, including the status of income tax audits, see Note 1013 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

Subsequent to the third quarter of Fiscal 2017, on November 9, 2016, we effectively settled an Internal Revenue Service audit for fiscal years 2004 through 2006. The settlement amount payable to the Internal Revenue Service in early 2017 is approximately $545 million, and we expect to record an income tax benefit of approximately $300 million in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2017. However, we are currently evaluating the impact of the settlement on its unrecognized tax liabilities; therefore, the actual amount of tax benefit to be recorded in future quarters is still uncertain. See Note 13 and Note 22 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for more information about the settlement.

Net Income/Loss from Continuing Operations

During the secondthird quarter and first sixnine months of Fiscal 2017, net loss from continuing operations decreased 10%increased 520% to a net loss of $264 million$1.6 billion and 7%132% to a net loss of $690 million,$2.3 billion, respectively. The changesincreases in net income/loss for the secondthird quarter and first sixnine months of Fiscal 2017 were primarily attributable to an increase in operating income, which was offset byloss, and to an increase in interest and other, net, expense due to an increase in interest expense as the result of higher interestaverage debt balances from new debt issued during the second quarter in connection with the pending EMC merger transaction. For the third quarter and first sixnine months of Fiscal 2017, an increase in tax expense alsobenefit partially offset higher operating income overexpense and interest and other, net expense during the period. See Note 1013 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for more information regarding our effective tax rate.

Net loss for the secondthird quarter and first sixnine months of Fiscal 2017 included amortization of intangible assets, purchase accounting adjustments, costs related to acquisition, integration, and divestitures, and other corporate expenses. Excluding these costs, during the secondthird quarter and first sixnine months of Fiscal 2017, non-GAAP net income from continuing operations increased 43%230% to $360 million,$1.0 billion, and 66%138% to $622 million,$1.6 billion, respectively. The changesincreases in non-GAAP net income/lossincome for the secondthird quarter and first sixnine months of Fiscal 2017 were primarily attributable to an increase in operating income, the effect of which was primarily offset by an increase in interest and other, net, expense due to an increase in interest expense as the result of higher interestaverage debt balances from new debt issued during the second quarter in connection with the pending EMC merger transaction.

Net Income/Loss Attributable toNon-controlling Interests

We have non-controlling interests reflected in our consolidated financial statements, for the portions of equity of SecureWorks, VMware and Pivotal that are not owned by Dell Technologies, Inc.

Net income/loss attributable to Dell Technologies Inc. represents net income/loss from continuing operations, plus the reduction of net income/loss attributable to non-controlling interest. During the secondthird quarter and first sixnine months of Fiscal 2017, the net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest in SecureWorks was $1 million and $2 million, respectively. During both the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2017, net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest in VMware was $10 million. During the secondthird quarter and first sixnine months of Fiscal 2016, Dell Technologies did not have any non-controlling interests. For more information about our non-controlling interestinterests see Note 1215 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

Net Loss Attributable to Dell Technologies Inc.

Net loss attributable to Dell Technologies Inc. represents net income/loss from continuing and discontinued operations, and the adjustment for non-controlling interests. During the third quarter of Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal 2016, the net loss attributable to Dell Technologies Inc. was $2.1 billion and $0.2 billion, respectively, which was primarily due to an increase in net loss from continuing and discontinued operations.

During the first nine months of Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal 2016, the net loss attributable to Dell Technologies Inc. was $1.4 billion and $0.9 billion, respectively, which was due to to an increase in net loss from continuing operations, offset partially by an increase in income from discontinued operations. For more information regarding our discontinued operations see Note 4 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

Accounts Receivable

We sell products and services directly to customers and through a variety of sales channels, including retail distribution. Our accounts receivable, net, was $5.3$8.8 billion and $4.8$4.9 billion as of July 29,October 28, 2016 and January 29, 2016, respectively. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to cover receivables that may be deemed uncollectible. The allowance for losses is based on a provision for accounts that are collectively evaluated based on historical bad debt experience as well as specific identifiable customer accounts that are deemed at risk. As of July 29,October 28, 2016 and January 29, 2016, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $39$50 million and $36 million, respectively. Based on our assessment, we believe that we are adequately reserved for expected credit losses. We monitor the aging of our accounts receivable and continue to take actions to reduce our exposure to credit losses.

Dell Financial Services and Financing Receivables

Dell Financial Services, referred to as DFS, offers a wide range of financial services, including originating, collecting, and servicing customer receivables primarily related to the purchase of Dell products. Following the closing of the EMC merger transaction, DFS began offering similar financial services related to the purchase of Dell EMC and VMware products. In some cases, we originate financing activities for our commercial customers related to the purchase of third-party technology products that complement our portfolio of products and services. New financing originations, which represent the amounts of financing provided by DFS to customers for equipment and related software and services, including third-party originations, were $1.0$1.1 billion and $0.9 billion for both the secondthird quarter of Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal 2016, respectively, and $1.9$3.0 billion and $2.8 billion for both the first sixnine months of Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal 2016.2016, respectively. As of both July 29,October 28, 2016 and January 29, 2016, our financing receivables, net were $5.4 billion and $5.1 billion.billion, respectively.

We have securitization programs to fund revolving loans and fixed-term leases and loans through consolidated special purpose entities, referred to as SPEs, which we account for as secured borrowings. We transfer certain U.S. customer financing receivables to these SPEs, whose purpose is to facilitate the funding of customer receivables through financing arrangements with multi-seller conduits that issue asset-backed debt securities in the capital markets and to private investors. During both the secondthird quarters of Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal 2016, we transferred $0.8$0.6 billion and $0.7 billion to these SPEs, respectively, and during the first sixnine months of Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal 2016, we transferred $1.4$2.0 billion and $1.8$2.5 billion, respectively. The structured financing debt related to all of our securitization programs included as secured borrowing was $2.9 billion and $2.8 billion as of July 29,both October 28, 2016 and January 29, 2016, respectively.2016. In addition, the carrying amount of the corresponding financing receivables was $3.3 billion as of both July 29,October 28, 2016 and January 29, 2016. As a result of the EMC merger transaction, we plan to expand our existing securitization programs to allow for additional funding of customer receivables in the capital markets.
We maintain an allowance to cover expected financing receivable credit losses and evaluate credit loss expectations based on our total portfolio. For the second quarterthird quarters of Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal 2016, the principal charge-off rate for our total portfolio was 2.0%2.2% and 2.7%2.0%, respectively. For the first sixnine months of Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal 2016, the principal charge-off rate for our total portfolio was 2.1% and 2.7%2.5%, respectively. The credit quality of our financing receivables has improved in recent years due to an overall improvement in the credit environment and as the mix of high-quality commercial accounts in our portfolio has increased. The allowance for losses is determined based on various factors, including historical and anticipated experience, past due receivables, receivable type, and customer risk profile. At July 29,October 28, 2016 and January 29, 2016, the allowance for financing receivable losses was $156$146 million and $176 million, respectively. In general, the loss rates on our financing receivables have improved over the periods presented.  We expect relatively stable loss rates in future periods, with movements in these rates being primarily driven by seasonality and a continued shift in portfolio composition to lower risk commercial assets. We continue to monitor broader economic indicators and their potential impact on future loss performance. We have an extensive process to manage our exposure to customer credit risk, including active management of credit lines and our collection activities. We also sell selected fixed-term financing receivables to unrelated third parties on a periodic basis, primarily to manage certain concentrations of customer credit exposure.  Based on our assessment of the customer financing receivables, we believe that we are adequately reserved.
See Note 47 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information about our financing receivables and the associated allowance.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue represents amounts received in advance for extended warranty services, deferred hardware, software maintenance, unearned license fees, which are recognized ratably over the contract term as either product or services revenue depending on the nature of the item, and deferred professional services. We also have deferred revenue related to internally-developed software offerings, and deferred profit on third-party software offerings, which are generally recognized ratably over the contract term as either product or services revenue depending on the nature of the item.

Our total deferred revenue was $17.1 billion and $7.7 billion as of October 28, 2016 and January 29, 2016, respectively, and increased $9.4 billion, or 122%, over that period. This increase was primarily attributable to the deferred revenue assumed in the EMC merger transaction, which was recorded at its fair value of $8.4 billion. A majority of deferred revenue as of October 28, 2016 is expected to be recognized over the next two years. See Note 1 and Note 3 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information on the EMC merger transaction.

MARKET CONDITIONS, LIQUIDITY, AND CAPITAL COMMITMENTS

Market Conditions

We regularly monitor economic conditions and associated impacts on the financial markets and our business. We consistently evaluate the financial health of our supplier base, carefully manage customer credit, diversify counterparty risk, and monitor the concentration risk of our cash and cash equivalents balances globally. We routinely monitor our financial exposure to borrowers and counterparties.

We monitor credit risk associated with our financial counterparties using various market credit risk indicators such as credit ratings issued by nationally recognized rating agencies and changes in market credit default swap levels. We perform periodic evaluations of our positions with these counterparties and may limit exposure to any one counterparty in accordance with our policies. We monitor and manage these activities depending on current and expected market developments.

We use derivative instruments to hedge certain foreign currency exposures. We use forward contracts and purchased options designated as cash flow hedges to protect against the foreign currency exchange rate risks inherent in our forecasted transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.  In addition, we primarily use forward contracts and may use purchased options to hedge monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency.  See Note 69 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for more information about our use of derivative instruments.

The impact on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report of any credit adjustments related to our use of counterparties has been immaterial.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

To support our ongoing business operations, we rely on operating cash flows as our primary source of liquidity. We monitor the efficiency of our balance sheet to ensure that we have adequate liquidity to support our strategic initiatives. In addition to internally generated cash, we have access to other capital sources to finance our strategic initiatives and fund growth in our financing operations, as evidenced by our actions to raise capital for the EMC merger transaction. We have undertaken strategic divestitures, and intendsome of which were completed subsequent to usethe close of our third quarter of Fiscal 2017. We used the net proceeds from those divestitures to pay down a portion of the EMC merger transaction financing. For more information on repayment of this debt, see Note 22 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. As of July 29,October 28, 2016, we had $7.2$8.8 billion of total cash and cash equivalents, a majority of which was held outside of the United States. Our strategy is to deploy capital from any potential source, whether internally generated cash or debt, depending on the adequacy and availability of that source of capital and whether it can be accessed in a cost-effective manner. We expect to makemade available at least $2.95$3.0 billion of cash on hand to be utilizedfrom legacy Dell entities and $4.8 billion of cash on hand from legacy EMC entities to consummate the EMC merger transaction, some of which may result in a need to repatriate cashwas repatriated from foreign jurisdictions.  We dodid not expect to incur material tax or other material costs as a result of any suchthe repatriation.

A significant portion of our income is earned in non-U.S. jurisdictions. Under current law, earnings available to be repatriated to the United States would be subject to U.S. federal income tax, less applicable foreign tax credits. We have provided for the U.S. federal tax liability on these amounts for financial statement purposes, except for foreign earnings that are considered permanently reinvested outside of the United States. We utilize a variety of tax planning and financing strategies with the objective of having our worldwide cash available in the locations where it is needed.

the EMC merger transaction on September 7, 2016, we entered into the Revolving Credit Facility and terminated the ABL Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility has maximum aggregate borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility areof approximately $2.0$3.2 billion. Borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility are subject to a borrowing base, which consists of certain receivables and inventory. Available borrowings under the ABLRevolving Credit Facility are reduced by draws on the facility as well as outstanding letters of credit. As of July 29,October 28, 2016, there were no draws on theremaining available borrowings under this facility and, after taking into account outstanding letters of credit, our available capacity totaled $1.4approximately $1.6 billion.

We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, along with cash that will be provided by future operations and borrowings expected to be available under the ABLRevolving Credit Facility, will be sufficient over at least the next twelve months to fund our operations, capital expenditures, share repurchases, and debt service requirements, as well as payments for shares subject to the appraisal proceedings and any tax audit settlements described in Note 913 and Note 10, respectively,22 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. We also believe that we will have sufficient cash to fund the closing of the pending EMC merger transaction.

To finance the going-privateEMC merger transaction, we issued $13.9an aggregate principal amount of $45.9 billion in new debt, which included borrowings under our Term Loan Facilities and the ABL Credit Facility, proceeds from the sale of Senior First Lien Notes and other notes, and borrowings under structured financing debt programs. See Note 1 and Note 5 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for more information on the going-private transaction and our outstanding borrowings.

During the first six months of Fiscal 2017, we repaid $0.6 billion of debt, which primarily consisted of $0.4 billion of maturing Unsecured Notes and Debentures and $0.2 billion of Term Loan facilities. Further, during June 2016, we issued $23.25 billion of debt in connection with the pending EMC merger transaction, which included proceeds from the sale of the First Lien Notes and Senior Unsecured Notes.

Additionally, as of September 7, 2016, EMC had outstanding approximately $2.5 billion aggregate principal amount of its 1.875% Notes due June 2018, approximately $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its 2.650% Notes due June 2020 and approximately $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its 3.375% Notes due June 2023, referred to collectively, the issuance ofEMC Notes. The EMC Notes remain outstanding following the First Lien Notes and Senior Unsecured Notes, the proceeds of the offerings were deposited into escrow, with such proceeds to be released to finance the consummationclosing of the EMC merger subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions. The net proceeds held in escrow from the private offerings of the First Lien Notes and Senior Unsecured Notes were included in restricted cash in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as of July 29, 2016, and such proceeds will be held as restricted cash until the completion of the EMC merger. The receipt of the net proceeds is not reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, given that the proceeds were required to be deposited directly into escrow rather than through the Company's unrestricted cash accounts.

Upon the close of the EMC merger, we intend to repay approximately $7.7 billion principal amount of existing Dell Technologies debt. Further, we intend to incur approximately $22.6 billion of incremental borrowings through new term loan facilities, a revolving credit facility, bridge facilities, and margin financing. Additionally, we will incur approximately $5.5 billion of incremental borrowings through existing EMC debt. We will maintain our securitization programs to fund revolving loans and fixed-term leases and loans through SPEs.transaction.

Upon the closing of the EMC merger transaction, we repaid and terminated the ABL Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facilities obtained in connection with the going-private transaction and redeemed the Senior First Lien Notes issued in connection with the going-private transaction. Further, during the first nine months of Fiscal 2017, we repaid $0.4 billion of maturing Unsecured Notes and Debentures and $0.5 billion of the Revolving Credit Facility obtained in connection with the EMC merger transaction.

Our requirements for cash to pay principal and interest are expected to increasehave increased significantly due to the incremental borrowings that will bewere required to finance the EMC merger transaction, and wetransaction. We expect the increased cash flows from the combined businesses will be sufficient to meet these requirements. After the closing of the EMC merger, we may,We or our affiliates, at our or their sole discretion, may purchase, redeem, prepay, refinance, or otherwise retire our outstanding indebtedness under the terms of such indebtedness, in open market or negotiated transactions with the holders of such indebtedness, or otherwise.

We balance the use of our securitization programs with working capital and other sources of liquidity to fund growth in our global financial services business. Of the $36.7$56.8 billion in outstanding principal debt as of July 29,October 28, 2016, $4.5$4.8 billion, which includes $3.5$3.4 billion in structured financing debt, is used to fund this business.

Operating Activities — Cash provided by operating activities was $1.8$1.5 billion and $0.7$1.2 billion for the first sixnine months of Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal 2016, respectively. The improvement inStrong operating cash flows was primarily duein both periods were attributable to profitabilitymore profitable operations and to favorable changes in working capital particularly with respect to an increase in accounts payable as a result ofresulting from extending payment terms with certain suppliers. During the first nine months of Fiscal 2017, the favorable effects of these factors were partially offset by the cash used for transaction-related expenses. The terms of our supplier arrangements will continue to evolve as we closecontinue to integrate the businesses acquired through the EMC merger transaction and integrate the businesses.transaction.

Investing Activities — Investing activities primarily consist of cash used to fund strategic acquisitions, capital expenditures for property, plant, and equipment, collections on purchased financing receivables, and proceeds from sale of facilities, land and other assets. Cash used in investing activities was $221 million$38.1 billion and $113 million$0.2 billion during the first sixnine months of Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal 2016, respectively, which included $62$104 million and $56$85 million, respectively, in capital expenditures attributable to discontinued operationsoperations. The increase in cash used by investing activities was driven by $37.6 billion, net cash used to fund our acquisition of EMC.

Financing Activities — Financing activities primarily consist of the proceeds and repayments of debt. During the first sixnine months of Fiscal 2017, cash used inprovided by financing activities was $38.8 billion. Cash provided by financing activities consisted primarily of $46.0 billion in cash proceeds from debt, $43.2 billion of which was issued in connection with the EMC merger transaction, and $4.4 billion in proceeds from the sale and issuance of our Class A, Class B, and Class C Common Stock for financing of that transaction. These issuances were partially offset by $9.6 billion in repayments of debt, $0.8 billion primarily duein

Key Performance Metrics

We previously presented our cash conversion cycle metric on a basis which included our discontinued businesses. However, since we completed the Dell Services and DSG divestitures subsequent to the end of the third quarter of Fiscal 2017, we believe that a cash conversion cycle metric which excludes our discontinued operations provides a better indication of our cash conversion cycle and is a better basis for evaluating our potential future cash operations. Accordingly, we have derived the components of our cash conversion cycle for the periods presented below using balances and results of operations which includeexclude Dell Services, DSG, and Dell Software Group. We will continue to evaluate and present our cash conversion cycle inclusive of Dell Services and Dell Software Group until we complete the divestitures.ECD.
The following table presents the components of our cash conversion cycle for the periods presented:

__________________
(a)Days of sales outstanding, referred to as DSO, calculates the average collection period of our receivables. DSO is based on the ending net trade receivables adjusted to include accounts receivable, net classified as held for sale, and the most recent quarterly non-GAAP net revenue adjusted to include discontinued operations, for each period. DSO also includes the effect of product costs related to customer shipments not yet recognized as revenue that are classified in other current assets. DSO is calculated by adding accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, and customer shipments in transit and dividing that sum by average non-GAAP net revenue per day for the current quarter (90 days for all fiscal quarters presented herein). At July 29,October 28, 2016, DSO and days of customer shipments not yet recognized were 3847 and 45 days, respectively. At July 31,October 30, 2015, DSO and days of customer shipments not yet recognized were 3937 and 45 days, respectively.
(b)Days of supply in inventory, referred to as DSI, measures the average number of days from procurement to sale of our products. DSI is based on ending inventory adjusted to exclude purchase accounting adjustments and most recent quarterly non-GAAP cost of goods sold adjusted to include discontinued operations, for each period. DSI is calculated by dividing ending inventory by average non-GAAP cost of goods sold per day for the current quarter (90 days for all fiscal quarters presented herein).
(c)Days in accounts payable, referred to as DPO, calculates the average number of days our payables remain outstanding before payment. DPO is based on ending accounts payable adjusted to include accounts payable classified as held for sale, and most recent quarterly non-GAAP cost of goods sold adjusted to include discontinued operations, for each period. DPO is calculated by dividing accounts payable by average non-GAAP cost of goods sold per day for the current quarter (90 days for all fiscal quarters presented herein).
(d)We calculate our cash conversion cycle using non-GAAP net revenue adjusted to include discontinued operations, and non-GAAP cost of goods sold adjusted to include discontinued operations, because we believe that excluding certain items from the GAAP results facilitates management's understanding of this key performance metric.

For the three months ended July 29,October 28, 2016, changes in our cash conversion cycle were favorableunfavorable by ninesixteen days when compared to the three months ended July 31,October 30, 2015. This was primarily driven by an eighta ten day increase in DSO and a ten day increase in DSI. DSO, DSI, and DPO were all impacted to varying degrees by the timing of the EMC merger transaction as we assumed all of EMC's accounts receivable, inventory, and accounts payable, but only included the portion of EMC's revenue and cost of goods sold for the period from September 7, 2016 to October 28, 2016. This timing impact was the primary driver for the increase in DSO. The increase in DSI was primarily due to our acquisition of EMC and the longer inventory cycle associated with the acquired product lines. The increases in DSO and DSI were partially offset by a four day increase in DPO, which was primarily attributable to extendingthe result of extended supplier payment terms, with certain suppliers. The termspartially offset by the timing of our supplier arrangements will continue to evolve as we close the EMC merger transaction and integrate the businesses. DSO decreased by one day primarily driven by improved collections performance.transaction. We believe our business model allows us to maintain an efficient cash conversion cycle, which compares favorably with that of others in our industry.

Capital Commitments

Capital Expenditures — During the first sixnine months of Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal 2016, we spent $235$417 million and $230$340 million, respectively, on property, plant, and equipment, which included $62$104 million and $56$85 million, respectively, attributable to discontinued operations. These expenditures were primarily incurred in connection with our global expansion efforts and infrastructure investments made to support future growth. Product demand, product mix, and the increased use of contract manufacturers, as well as ongoing investments in operating and information technology infrastructure, influence the level and prioritization of our capital expenditures. Aggregate capital expenditures for Fiscal 2017, which will be primarily related to infrastructure investments and strategic initiatives, are currently expected to total approximately $0.5 billion.

Share Repurchase Program On September 7, 2016, our board of directors approved a stock repurchase program under which we are authorized to use assets of the DHI Group to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of shares of our Class V Common Stock over a two-year period. During the three months ended October 28, 2016, we repurchased $165 million of Class V Common Stock under the program. At October 28, 2016, our remaining authorized amount for share repurchases under the program was $835 million. For more information regarding our repurchase of Class V Common Stock, see Note 17 of Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report, and “Part II — Item 2 — Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.”

In April 2016, VMware's board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1.2 billion of VMware's Class A common stock through the end of 2016. All shares repurchased under VMware's stock repurchase programs are retired. During the period from September 7, 2016 through October 28, 2016, VMware repurchased $611 million in shares of its Class A common stock. The authorized amount for repurchases of VMware Class A common stock was entirely utilized as of October 28, 2016.

(a)We have approximately $3.8 billion in additional liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions as of October 28, 2016. We expect to pay $545 million within the next 12 months. See Note 22 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for more information about subsequent events. We are unable to reliably estimate the expected payment dates for any remaining liabilities for uncertain tax positions.

Principal Payments on Borrowings Our expected principal cash payments on borrowings are exclusive of discounts and premiums. We have outstanding long-term notes with varying maturities. As of October 28, 2016, the future principal payments related to structured financing debt were expected to be $0.6 billion in Fiscal 2017 (remaining three months), $2.7 billion in Fiscal 2018-2019, and $0.2 billion thereafter. For additional information about our debt, see Note 8 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

Subsequent to October 28, 2016, we repaid $2.2 billion principal amount of our asset sale bridge facility and $2.1 billion principal amount of our term loan A-1 facility, each of which was issued on September 7, 2016 in connection with the EMC

Interest See Note 8 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for further discussion of our debt and related interest expense.

Purchase Obligations  Purchase obligations are defined as contractual obligations to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding on us. These obligations specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum, or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. Purchase obligations do not include contracts that may be canceled without penalty.

We utilize several suppliers to manufacture sub-assemblies for our products. Our efficient supply chain management allows us to enter into flexible and mutually beneficial purchase arrangements with our suppliers in order to minimize inventory risk. Consistent with industry practice, we acquire raw materials or other goods and services, including product components, by issuing to suppliers authorizations to purchase based on our projected demand and manufacturing needs. These purchase orders are typically fulfilled within 30 days and are entered into during the ordinary course of business in order to establish best pricing and continuity of supply for our production. Purchase orders are not included in the table above as they typically represent our authorization to purchase rather than binding purchase obligations.

Operating Leases We lease property and equipment, manufacturing facilities, and office space under non-cancelable leases. Certain of these leases obligate us to pay taxes, maintenance, and repair costs.

ITEM 3 — QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Dell Technologies is exposed to a variety of market risks, including risks associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, interest rate changes affecting its variable-rate debt, and changes in the market value of investments. In the normal course of business, Dell Technologies employs established policies and procedures to manage these risks.
Foreign Currency Risk

During the secondthird quarter and first sixnine months of Fiscal 2017, the principal foreign currencies in which Dell Technologies transacted business were the Euro, Chinese Renminbi, Japanese Yen, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, and Australian Dollar. The objective of Dell Technologies in managing its exposures to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations is to reduce the impact of adverse fluctuations associated with foreign currency exchange rate changes on earnings and cash flows. Accordingly, Dell Technologies utilizes foreign currency option contracts and forward contracts to hedge its exposure on forecasted transactions and firm commitments for certain currencies. Dell Technologies monitors its foreign currency exchange exposures to ensure the overall effectiveness of its foreign currency hedge positions. However, there can be no assurance that the foreign currency hedging activities will continue to substantially offset the impact of fluctuations in currency exchange rates on the results of operations and financial position in the future.
As of July 29,October 28, 2016, based on the outstanding foreign currency hedge instruments of Dell Technologies, which include designated and non-designated instruments, there was a maximum potential one-day loss at a 95% confidence level in fair value of approximately $19$27.5 million using a Value-at-Risk, referred to as VAR, model. By using market implied rates and incorporating volatility and correlation among the currencies of a portfolio, the VAR model simulates 10,000 randomly generated market prices and calculates the difference between the fifth percentile and the average as the Value-at-Risk. The VAR model is a risk estimation tool and is not intended to represent actual losses in fair value that willcould be incurred. Additionally, as Dell Technologies utilizes foreign currency instruments for hedging forecasted and firmly committed transactions, a loss in fair value for those instruments is generally offset by increases in the value of the underlying exposure.

Interest Rate Risk

Dell Technologies is primarily exposed to interest rate risk related to its variable-rate debt and investment portfoliosportfolio.

As of October 28, 2016, Dell Technologies had $15.9 billion of outstanding borrowings under its Senior Secured Credit Facilities and $4.0 billion of outstanding borrowings under its Margin Bridge Facility and VMware Note Bridge Facility. Amounts outstanding under these facilities generally bear interest at variable rates equal to applicable margins plus specified base rates or LIBOR-based rates. For information about this debt, see Note 8 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. Accordingly, Dell Technologies is exposed to market risk based on fluctuations in interest rates on borrowings under the facilities. As of October 28, 2016, outstanding borrowings under the facilities accrued interest at an annual rate between 2.39% and 4.00%. Based on this variable-rate debt outstanding as of October 28, 2016, a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have resulted in an increase of approximately $188 million in annual interest expense.

As of October 28, 2016, Dell Technologies had $3.4 billion of outstanding structured financing receivables.debt that accrued interest at variable rates. For information about this debt, see Note 7 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. Dell Technologies mitigates the interest rate risk related to its structured financing debt through the use of interest rate swaps to hedge the variability in cash flows related to the interest rate payments on such debt. Based

We maintain an investment portfolio consisting of debt and equity securities of various types and maturities which is exposed to interest rate risk. The investments are classified as available-for-sale and are all denominated in U.S. dollars. These securities are recorded on the variable rate debt portfolio outstanding as of July 29, 2016, a 100 basis point increaseconsolidated balance sheet at market value, with any unrealized gain or temporary non-credit related loss recorded in interest rates would have resulted in an increase of approximately $58 million in annual interest expense.
other comprehensive loss. These instruments are not leveraged and are not held for trading purposes. Dell Technologies mitigates the risks related to its investment portfolio by investing primarily in high-quality credit securities, limiting the amount that can be invested in any single issuer and investing in short-to-intermediate-term investments. Due to the natureAs of our investment portfolio as of July 29,October 28, 2016, a 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would not have had a materialresulted in an $85 million impact on the fair value of this portfolio.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There wasOn September 7, 2016, we completed our acquisition by merger of EMC Corporation as described elsewhere in this report. Revenues of approximately $3.6 billion and net loss of approximately $0.6 billion attributable to EMC were included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for the period from September 7, 2016 through October 28, 2016.
We continue to integrate policies, processes, people, technology, and operations relating to this transaction, and will continue to evaluate the impact of any related changes to our internal control over financial reporting. Except for any changes in our internal control over financial reporting related to the integration of EMC, there were no changechanges in our internal control over financial reporting during the secondthird quarter of Fiscal 2017 that have materially affected, or isare reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Our financial performance is affected by the financial performance of VMware.
Because we consolidate the financial results of VMware, Inc., or VMware, in our results of operations, our financial performance is affected by the financial performance of VMware. VMware's financial performance may be affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to:
fluctuations in demand, adoption rates, sales cycles (which have been increasing in length) and pricing levels for VMware's products and services;
changes in customers' budgets for information technology purchases and in the timing of its purchasing decisions;
the timing of recognizing revenues in any given quarter, which can be affected by a number of factors, including product announcements, beta programs and product promotions that can cause revenue recognition of certain orders to be deferred until future products to which customers are entitled become available;
the timing of announcements or releases of new or upgraded products and services by VMware or by its competitors;
the timing and size of business realignment plans and restructuring charges;
VMware's ability to maintain scalable internal systems for reporting, order processing, license fulfillment, product delivery, purchasing, billing and general accounting, among other functions;
VMware's ability to control costs, including its operating expenses;
credit risks of VMware's distributors, who account for a significant portion of VMware’s product revenues and accounts receivable;
seasonal factors, such as the end of fiscal period budget expenditures by VMware's customers and the timing of holiday and vacation periods;
renewal rates and the amounts of the renewals for enterprise agreements, as the original terms of such agreements expire;
the timing and amount of software development costs that may be capitalized;
unplanned events that could affect market perception of the quality or cost-effectiveness of VMware's products and solutions; and
VMware's ability to predict accurately the degree to which customers will elect to purchase its subscription-based offerings in place of licenses to its on-premises offerings.

Dell Technologies' pension plan assets are subject to market volatility.

Through the EMC merger transaction, Dell Technologies assumed a noncontributory defined pension plan, originally part of the EMC legacy acquisition of Data General. The plan’s assets are invested in common stocks, bonds, and cash. The expected long-term rate of return on the plan's assets was 6.50%. This rate represents the average of the expected long-term rates of return weighted by the plan's assets as of December 31, 2015. As market conditions permit, we expect to continue to shift the asset allocation to lower the percentage of investments in equities and increase the percentage of investments in long-duration fixed-income securities. The effect of such a change could result in a reduction in the long-term rate of return on plan assets and an increase in future pension expense. As of December 31, 2015, the ten-year historical rate of return on plan assets was 6.45%, and the inception-to-date return on plan assets was 6.46%. In 2015, the legacy EMC business experienced a 2.42% loss on plan assets. Should we not achieve the expected rate of return on the plan's assets or if the plan experiences a decline in the fair value of its assets, we may be required to contribute assets to the plan, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.

The risks described in the Form S-4 proxy statement/prospectus and other risks described above are not the only risks facing us. There are additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial that may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or operating results.

ITEM 5 — OTHER INFORMATION

Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012

Set forth below is a description of matters reported by us pursuant to Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 and Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act. Concurrently with the filing of this quarterly report, we are filing a notice pursuant to Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act that such matters have been disclosed in this quarterly report.

Since January 30, 2016, which was the beginning of Fiscal 2017, we engaged in three sales transactions reportable by us. In February 2016 and June 2016, we sold Dell desktop computers, computer stands, and a server, and associated warranty support, to the Embassy of the Government of Iran located in Germany. In June 2016, we sold Dell desktop computers and computer stands, and associated warranty support, to the Embassy of the Government of Iran located in France. We received total net revenue of approximately 4,998 Euros and realized net profits of approximately 1,231 Euros from the three sales (approximately $5,595 and $1,372, respectively, at the exchange rates for U.S. dollars at the date of the sale transactions). During Fiscal 2017, we provided product warranty support with those sales and under service warranty agreements related to Dell desktop computers and servers we sold in 13 transactions before Fiscal 2017 to the Embassies of the Government of Iran located in France, the Netherlands, and Italy. All of the foregoing warranty support was purchased at the time of the sale transactions, and we did not receive any additional payment for our performance of warranty support services. In August 2016,

following our discovery of the foregoing transactions, we ceased to offer warranty support under the agreements. We do not intend to engage in future activity under any of the foregoing arrangements.

During Fiscal 2017, we were obligated to provide warranty support relating to two servers we sold before Fiscal 2017 to the Paris, France branch of the Bank of Saderat under a three-year warranty service contract entered into at the time of the sale. We did not receive any additional payment for our performance of such services. Bank of Saderat is an Iranian bank listed by the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control as a Specially Designated National. In September 2016, following our discovery of the foregoing transactions, we ceased to offer warranty support under the agreement. We do not intend to engage in future activity under the foregoing arrangement.
