Dell Technologies Delivers Second Quarter Fiscal 2027 Financial Results

Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL) announces financial results for its fiscal 2027 second quarter and provides guidance for its fiscal 2027 third quarter and full year.

Second-Quarter Summary

  • Record revenue of $47.0 billion, up 58% year over year

  • Record diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $6.34, up 273% year over year, and record non-GAAP diluted EPS of $7.04, up 203%

  • Cash flow from operations of $2.2 billion

  • Full-year FY27 revenue guidance of $192.0 billion, up 69% year over year

  • Full-year FY27 EPS guidance of $24.37 and non-GAAP EPS guidance of $25.50, up 181% and 148% year over year, respectively

“IT environments have shifted from cost centers to value drivers that fuel growth and competitive advantage, and customers are investing accordingly – creating opportunity across our portfolio,” said Jeff Clarke, vice chairman and chief operating officer, Dell Technologies. “That’s clearest in our AI server business where we booked a record $60.9 billion in orders, recognized a record $16.4 billion in revenue and exited the quarter with a record $95 billion backlog. We’re seeing broader revenue growth as well, with traditional servers and networking up 122%, storage up 26% and our client solutions up 20% year over year. Our second quarter results underscore the compounding benefits of our competitive advantages, the breadth of our portfolio and the strength of our operating model.”

“In our second quarter, we delivered record revenue of $47 billion, record EPS and a record $4.3 billion returned to shareholders,” said David Kennedy, chief financial officer, Dell Technologies. “Our advantages reinforce one another, and throughout the quarter we used these strengths to drive growth, share gains, profitability and cash generation. With AI momentum accelerating and our opportunity expanding across the portfolio, we’re raising our full-year FY27 revenue outlook by $25 billion to $192 billion, up nearly 70% year over year.”

____________________

(a)

Corporate and other includes VMware Resale and other items that are managed at the corporate level and are not allocated to reportable segments.

(b)

Depreciation expense directly attributable to each reportable segment is included in the operating results of each segment. However, the Chief Operating Decision Maker does not evaluate depreciation expense by operating segment, and therefore such expense is not separately presented.

(c)

Amortization of intangibles includes non-cash purchase accounting adjustments that are primarily related to the EMC merger transaction completed in September 2016.

(d)

Stock-based compensation expense consists of equity awards granted based on the estimated fair value of those awards at grant date.

(e)

Other corporate expenses includes severance expenses, payroll taxes associated with stock-based compensation, incentive charges related to equity investments, transaction-related expenses, and impairment charges.

(f)

Income and expenses within Interest and other, net, is not allocated to the reportable segments. Therefore, the company only reports reportable segment operating income.

SUPPLEMENTAL SELECTED NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

These tables present information about the company’s non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per share – diluted, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures provided as a supplement to the results provided in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). A detailed discussion of Dell Technologies’ reasons for including certain of these non-GAAP financial measures, the limitations associated with these measures, the items excluded from these measures, and the company’s reason for excluding those items are presented in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in the company’s periodic reports filed with the SEC. Dell Technologies encourages investors to review the non-GAAP discussion in these reports in conjunction with the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures.

____________________

(a)

Amortization of intangibles represents an estimate for acquisitions completed as of July 31, 2026 and does not include estimates for potential acquisitions, if any, during fiscal 2027.

(b)

Consists primarily of severance expenses, payroll taxes associated with stock-based compensation, transaction-related expenses, impairment charges, and incentive charges related to equity investments. No estimate is included for severance expense as such expense cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

(c)

No estimates are included for potential fair value adjustments on strategic investments given the potential volatility of either gains or losses on those equity investments.

(d)

The fiscal 2027 aggregate adjustment to reconcile non-GAAP income tax expense to GAAP income tax expense is approximately $0.3 billion. The aggregate adjustment for income taxes is the estimated combined income tax effect for the adjustments shown above as well as an adjustment for discrete tax items. The company’s non-GAAP income tax is calculated using a fixed estimated annual tax rate.
