| We converted that performance into record annual cash flow over $11 billion and returned $7.5 billion to shareholders, including 54 million shares repurchased more than doubled last year. The AI opportunity is meaningfully growing and transforming the company. In FY '26, we closed $64.1 billion in AI orders, shipped $25.2 billion and exited with a record $43 billion in AI backlog, powerful proof points that our engineering leadership and differentiated solutions are winning. We are executing with discipline and speed. We are gaining share in our PC business and strengthening ISG with strong margins in traditional servers and storage, all while positioning the company for the AI era. | μ°λ¦¬λ μ΄λ¬ν μ±κ³Όλ₯Ό λ°νμΌλ‘ 110μ΅ λ¬λ¬ μ΄μμ μ¬μ μ΅κ³ μ°κ° νκΈ νλ¦μ μ°½μΆνμΌλ©°, μ£Όμ£Όλ€μκ² 75μ΅ λ¬λ¬λ₯Ό νμνμ΅λλ€. μ¬κΈ°μλ μλ λλΉ λ λ°° μ΄μ μ¦κ°ν 5,400λ§ μ£Όμ μμ¬μ£Ό λ§€μ μ΄ ν¬ν¨λ©λλ€.

| It was a monumental year. We exit with strong momentum, and I couldn't be more proud of this team. With that, let me turn to the key highlights for the quarter. We delivered a record quarter. Q4 revenue was $33.4 billion, up 39% and earnings per share was $3.89, up 45%, driven by disciplined execution and demand for our AI solutions. While operating in a dynamic environment, we saw record cash flow generation and above-trend capital returns for shareholders. Now let's move to AI. We capped an already strong year with an exceptional quarter for AI, record orders and broad-based demand. | νκΈ°μ μΈ ν ν΄μμ΅λλ€. μ ν¬λ κ°ν λͺ¨λ©ν

| In Q4, we booked $34.1 billion in AI orders, evidence that demand is accelerating as customers deploy AI at scale. We shipped $9.5 billion in AI servers in the quarter. We exited Q4 with a record $43 billion in AI backlog, and our pipeline continued to grow sequentially even after converting $34.1 billion of orders, a clear sign of sustained momentum. For the full year, AI orders reached $64.1 billion. Our customer base surpassed 4,000 with growth across neoclouds, sovereigns and enterprise customers, evidence that demand is broadening across all customer types. | 4λΆκΈ°μ μ ν¬λ 341μ΅ λ¬λ¬ κ·λͺ¨μ AI μ£Όλ¬Έμ μμ£ΌνμΌλ©°, μ΄λ κ³ κ°λ€μ΄ AIλ₯Ό λκ·λͺ¨λ‘ λμ νλ©΄μ μμκ° κ°μνλκ³ μμμ 보μ¬μ€λλ€. ν΄λΉ λΆκΈ° AI μλ² μΆνμ‘μ 95μ΅ λ¬λ¬μμ΅λλ€. 4λΆκΈ° λ§ κΈ°μ€μΌλ‘ AI μμ£Όμκ³ λ μ¬μ μ΅κ³ μΉμΈ 430μ΅ λ¬λ¬λ₯Ό κΈ°λ‘νμΌλ©°, 341μ΅ λ¬λ¬ κ·λͺ¨μ μ£Όλ¬Έμ μμ£Όλ‘ μ ννμμλ λΆκ΅¬νκ³ μ ν¬μ νμ΄νλΌμΈμ μ λΆκΈ° λλΉ μ§μμ μΌλ‘ μ±μ₯νμ΅λλ€. μ΄λ μ§μμ μΈ λͺ¨λ©ν μ λΆλͺ ν μ νΈμ λλ€. μ°κ° AI μ£Όλ¬Έμ‘μ 641μ΅ λ¬λ¬μ λ¬νμ΅λλ€. μ ν¬ κ³ κ° κΈ°λ°μ 4,000κ³³μ λμ΄μ°μΌλ©°, λ€μ€ν΄λΌμ°λ, μ£ΌκΆκ΅κ°(sovereigns), κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ κΈ°μ κ³ κ° μ λ°μ κ±Έμ³ μ±μ₯μ κΈ°λ‘νμ΅λλ€. μ΄λ λͺ¨λ κ³ κ° μ νμμ μμκ° νλλκ³ μμμ 보μ¬μ£Όλ μ¦κ±°μ λλ€. |
| We're winning for the reasons we've outlined all year, engineering for performance and time to market while optimizing TCO for AI workloads, deployment and installation at speed and scale, ongoing life cycle support that keeps clusters up and running and DFS financing. We're doing this with discipline. Profitability is in line with our mid-single-digit operating margin target. We like our position, the line of sight we have with our backlog and pipeline and the advantages our scale and supply chain bring.

| Demand significantly outpaced supply in Q4 with strong double-digit demand growth across every region and momentum accelerated through the quarter as customers prioritized access to compute for critical workloads. We saw broad-based strength with units up, a larger active buyer base and a richer mix of our 16th and 17th generation platforms as customers shifted to dense high-performance configurations. The ROI to refresh is compelling. Even at higher ASPs, customers see a 7:1 consolidation when upgrading from the 14th generation to our latest platforms. The runway is substantial. | 4λΆκΈ°μλ μμκ° κ³΅κΈμ ν¬κ² μμ§λ μ΅λλ€. λͺ¨λ μ§μμμ κ°λ ₯ν λ μλ¦Ώμ μμ μ±μ₯μ κΈ°λ‘νμΌλ©°, κ³ κ°λ€μ΄ μ€μν μν¬λ‘λλ₯Ό μν μ»΄ν¨ν

| A majority of the installed base remains on 14th generation or older servers, creating a significant opportunity to modernize, improve performance and lower the cost of ownership. Traditional x86 is benefiting from AI infrastructure build-outs. While many AI workloads rely on specialized GPUs, traditional compute remains essential for orchestration, data processing and inference support. As customers deploy AI, they are modernizing broader AI estates, refreshing and expanding general-purpose environments. Turning to storage. Revenue was up 2% with continued outperformance from our Dell IP portfolio. | νμ¬ μ€μΉ κΈ°λ°μ λλΆλΆμ΄ 14μΈλ λλ κ·Έ μ΄μ μλ²λ₯Ό μ¬μ©νκ³ μμ΅λλ€. μ΄λ νλν, μ±λ₯ ν₯μ, κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μ΄ μμ λΉμ©(TCO) μ κ°μ μλΉν κΈ°νλ₯Ό μ°½μΆνκ³ μμ΅λλ€. κΈ°μ‘΄ x86μ AI μΈνλΌ κ΅¬μΆμΌλ‘ μ΄μ μ μ»κ³ μμ΅λλ€. λ§μ AI μν¬λ‘λκ° νΉμ GPUμ μμ‘΄νμ§λ§, κΈ°μ‘΄ μ»΄ν¨ν μ μ€μΌμ€νΈλ μ΄μ , λ°μ΄ν° μ²λ¦¬, κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μΆλ‘ μ§μμ μ¬μ ν νμμ μ λλ€. κ³ κ°λ€μ΄ AIλ₯Ό λ°°ν¬ν¨μ λ°λΌ, κ·Έλ€μ λ κ΄λ²μν AI νκ²½μ νλννκ³ μμΌλ©°, λ²μ© νκ²½μ κ°±μ νκ³ νμ₯νκ³ μμ΅λλ€. λ€μμΌλ‘ μ€ν λ¦¬μ§ λΆλ¬Έμ λλ€. λ§€μΆμ 2% μ¦κ°νμΌλ©°, λΉμ¬μ Dell IP ν¬νΈν΄λ¦¬μ€κ° μ§μμ μΈ μ΄κ³Ό μ±κ³Όλ₯Ό 보μμ΅λλ€. |
| We saw double-digit demand growth in Dell IP with momentum across PowerMax, PowerStore, PowerScale, ObjectScale and data protection. All-flash arrays delivered their third consecutive quarter of double-digit growth. PowerStore, our primary midrange platform, posted its seventh consecutive quarter of double-digit growth. Profitability improved, supported by our higher Dell IP mix. Lightning, our parallel file solution remains on track for general availability in the first half of the year with early customer deployments already underway. Turning to CSG. Revenue grew 14%, and we gained share as the October momentum carried through November and December. | λΈ IP λΆλ¬Έμμ λ μλ¦Ώμ μμ μ±μ₯μ κΈ°λ‘νμΌλ©°, PowerMax, PowerStore, PowerScale, ObjectScale λ° λ°μ΄ν° λ³΄νΈ μ λ°μ κ±Έμ³ λͺ¨λ©ν

| We leaned into share and expanded our buyer base, broadening the portfolio to reach more of the market, including the lower end of the commercial market, emerging markets, consumer and education and by targeting strategic accounts. These actions expand our installed base and position us for future refresh cycles. As we leaned into growth, we saw a higher mix of competitive large bids and customer expansion than planned, a higher-than-normal industry channel inventory levels, which delayed price increases. We have already taken actions to address each of these. We implemented pricing moves effective January 6 to reflect our higher input costs. | μ ν¬λ μμ₯ μ μ μ¨ ν보μ μ£Όλ ₯νκ³ κ΅¬λ§€μ κΈ°λ°μ νλνμ΅λλ€. ν¬νΈν΄λ¦¬μ€λ₯Ό νμ₯νμ¬ μμ

| Orders margins improved and are the basis for all new orders. We remain confident we can operate CSG within our long-term value creation profitability framework. Commercial revenue grew 16%, our sixth consecutive quarter of growth with demand up for the eighth quarter. We are seeing growth across geographies, strong large enterprise demand and traction in the lower end of commercial where we set to expand. The refresh cycle remains a meaningful opportunity given the large installed base of devices that are over 4 and 5 years old. Consumer revenue was roughly flat with demand up for the second consecutive quarter, supported by strength in gaming. | μ£Όλ¬Έ λ§μ§μ΄ κ°μ λμμΌλ©°, μ΄λ λͺ¨λ μ κ· μ£Όλ¬Έμ ν λκ° λκ³ μμ΅λλ€. μ ν¬λ CSG(Client Solutions Group)λ₯Ό μ₯κΈ° κ°μΉ μ°½μΆ μμ΅μ± νλ μμν¬ λ΄μμ μ΄μν μ μμ κ²μ΄λΌκ³ μ¬μ ν νμ ν©λλ€. μμ λΆλ¬Έ λ§€μΆμ 16% μ±μ₯νμ¬ 6λΆκΈ° μ°μ μ±μ₯μ κΈ°λ‘νμΌλ©°, μμλ 8λΆκΈ° μ°μ μ¦κ°νμ΅λλ€. μ ν¬λ λͺ¨λ μ§μμμ μ±μ₯μ 보μ΄κ³ μμΌλ©°, κ°λ ₯ν λκΈ°μ μμμ λλΆμ΄ νμ₯ μμ μΈ μμ λΆλ¬Έ νμ μμ₯μμλ μ μ§λ₯Ό λ€μ§κ³ μμ΅λλ€. 4λ λ° 5λ μ΄μ λ κΈ°κΈ°λ€μ λ°©λν μ€μΉ κΈ°λ°μ κ³ λ €ν λ, κ΅μ²΄ μ£ΌκΈ°λ μ¬μ ν μλ―Έ μλ κΈ°νλ‘ λ¨μμμ΅λλ€. μλΉμ λΆλ¬Έ λ§€μΆμ κ±°μ 보ν©μΈλ₯Ό 보μμΌλ, κ²μ λΆλ¬Έμ κ°μΈμ νμ μ΄ μμλ 2λΆκΈ° μ°μ μ¦κ°νμ΅λλ€. |
| Before I wrap up, a quick update on the supply chain and component costs. Across the industry, the environment remains highly dynamic with unprecedented AI demand creating sustained supply tightness and frequent pricing resets. In Q4, we did what we said we would do. Shorter quote validity periods, more dynamic pricing and a tighter alignment between our supply chain sales and pricers. We saw the benefit of this in ISG and expect it to extend to CSG.

| Our scale, direct model, world-class supply chain and long-standing supplier relationships are a real advantage and they become even more visible in periods of disruption. We are managing this environment in real time, applying lessons learned from prior cycles to improve resilience and to strengthen our position. In closing, FY '26 was a pivotal year for Dell. We delivered record performance, converted it into record cash generation and returned significant capital to shareholders, all while building a stronger company. We outexecuted across the portfolio. ISG is at record levels with accelerating AI demand. Traditional servers is growing sharply with demand outpacing supply. | μ ν¬μ κ·λͺ¨, μ§ν λͺ¨λΈ, μΈκ³μ μμ€μ 곡κΈλ§, κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μ€λ κΈ°κ° λ€μ Έμ¨ 곡κΈμ

| Dell IP storage continues to outperform the market, and CSG is gaining momentum with share gains in Q4. We are operating with discipline, lower OpEx alongside meaningful double-digit revenue growth. We've made the company more agile, which is on display in this commodity environment. Bottom line, we enter FY '27 with momentum, a strong backlog and pipeline and a proven operating model. I'm excited about the road ahead and proud of our team's execution. With that, let me turn it over to David to walk through the financials and our outlook. David Kennedy Chief Financial Officer Thanks, Jeff. It was a record year for Dell.

| The team executed extremely well this quarter, delivering record revenue, EPS and cash flow with strong returns to shareholders. Total revenue was up 39% to $33.4 billion. Gross margin dollars increased 18% to $6.8 billion. Gross margin rate was slightly better than anticipated at 20.5% and reflected a mix shift to AI servers with AI revenue up more than 4x year-over-year and improved profitability in storage. Operating expenses were up 5% to $3.3 billion, primarily from variable compensation tied to outperformance. We continue to drive meaningful scale within the P&L with OpEx down 320 bps to 9.9% of revenue. | μ΄λ² λΆκΈ° μ°λ¦¬ νμ νμν μ±κ³Όλ₯Ό κ±°λμ΄ μ¬μ μ΅κ³ λ§€μΆ, EPS(μ£ΌλΉμμ΄μ΅), νκΈ νλ¦μ λ¬μ±νμΌλ©°, μ£Όμ£Όλ€μκ²λ κ²¬κ³ ν μμ΅μ μ겨주μμ΅λλ€. μ΄ λ§€μΆμ 39% μ¦κ°ν 334μ΅ λ¬λ¬λ₯Ό κΈ°λ‘νμ΅λλ€. λ§€μΆμ΄μ΄μ΅(Gross margin dollars)μ 18% μ¦κ°ν 68μ΅ λ¬λ¬μμ΅λλ€. λ§€μΆμ΄μ΄μ΅λ₯ (Gross margin rate)μ μμλ³΄λ€ μ½κ° λμ 20.5%λ₯Ό κΈ°λ‘νλλ°, μ΄λ AI λ§€μΆμ΄ μ λ λλΉ 4λ°° μ΄μ μ¦κ°νλ©΄μ AI μλ² λΉμ€μ΄ λμμ§ κ²κ³Ό μ€ν λ¦¬μ§ λΆλ¬Έμ μμ΅μ± κ°μ μ λ°μν κ²°κ³Όμ λλ€. μμ λΉμ©μ 5% μ¦κ°ν 33μ΅ λ¬λ¬μλλ°, μ΄λ μ£Όλ‘ νμν μ±κ³Όμ λ°λ₯Έ λ³λ 보μ(μ±κ³ΌκΈ) λλ¬Έμ λλ€. μ°λ¦¬λ μμ΅κ³μ°μμμμ μλ―Έ μλ κ·λͺ¨μ κ²½μ λ₯Ό μ§μμ μΌλ‘ λ¬μ±νκ³ μμΌλ©°, μμ λΉμ©μ λ§€μΆμ 9.9%λ‘ 320bp(λ² μ΄μμ€ ν¬μΈνΈ) κ°μνμ΅λλ€. |

| We had $34.1 billion in orders, $9.5 billion in shipments, $9 billion in revenue and an ending backlog of $43 billion. In traditional server, demand improved throughout the quarter, outpacing revenue with stable profitability. Traditional server networking revenue was $5.9 billion, up 27%. Storage revenue was $4.8 billion, up 2%, with strong demand across the Dell IP portfolio. Dell IP demand outpaced market growth and PowerStore remained a bright spot with 8 consecutive quarters of growth, 7 of which were double digit. ISG operating income was a record $2.9 billion, up 41%, marking 7 consecutive quarters of double-digit growth.

| Operating margin was 14.8%, up 240 basis points sequentially. The sequential improvement was driven by scaling and strong storage profitability due to higher mix of Dell IP. Turning to CSG. CSG revenue was up 14% to $13.5 billion. Commercial revenue grew for the sixth consecutive quarter, up 16% to $11.6 billion, while consumer revenue was roughly flat at $1.9 billion. CSG operating income was $0.6 billion or 4.7% of revenue. As Jeff mentioned, profitability reflects strategic share capture in a highly competitive market. This is building our installed base and expanding our services and attach opportunities, positioning us well for the refresh cycle ahead. | μμ

| Moving to cash and the balance sheet. We delivered a record cash quarter with cash flow from operations of $4.7 billion. This was primarily driven by higher profitability and sequential revenue growth. We ended the quarter with $13.3 billion in cash and investments, up $1.9 billion sequentially. Our core leverage ratio is at 1.4x, in line with our target. We returned $2.2 billion to shareholders this quarter, including repurchasing 14.9 million shares at an average price of $125 per share and paying a dividend of approximately $0.53 per share. For the year, we returned $7.5 billion and repurchased roughly 54 million shares, more than double the amount of shares we repurchased in FY '25. | μ΄μ νκΈ λ° μ¬λ¬΄μννμ λν΄ λ§μλλ¦¬κ² μ΅λλ€. μ΄λ² λΆκΈ° μμ νλ νκΈνλ¦μ 47μ΅ λ¬λ¬λ₯Ό κΈ°λ‘νλ©° μ¬μ μ΅λ λΆκΈ° μ€μ μ λ¬μ±νμ΅λλ€. μ΄λ μ£Όλ‘ μμ΅μ± κ°μ κ³Ό μ λΆκΈ° λλΉ λ§€μΆ μ±μ₯μ νμ μ κ²°κ³Όμ λλ€. λΆκΈ° λ§ νκΈ λ° ν¬μμμ°μ 133μ΅ λ¬λ¬λ‘, μ λΆκΈ° λλΉ 19μ΅ λ¬λ¬ μ¦κ°νμ΅λλ€. λΉμ¬μ ν΅μ¬ λ λ²λ¦¬μ§ λΉμ¨μ 1.4λ°°λ‘, λͺ©νμΉμ λΆν©ν©λλ€. μ΄λ² λΆκΈ°μλ μ£Όμ£Όλ€μκ² 22μ΅ λ¬λ¬λ₯Ό νμνμ΅λλ€. μ΄λ μ£ΌλΉ νκ· 125λ¬λ¬μ 1,490λ§ μ£Όλ₯Ό μμ¬μ£Όλ‘ λ§€μ νκ³ , μ£ΌλΉ μ½ 0.53λ¬λ¬μ λ°°λΉκΈμ μ§κΈν κ²μ ν¬ν¨ν©λλ€. μ°κ°μΌλ‘λ μ΄ 75μ΅ λ¬λ¬λ₯Ό μ£Όμ£Όλ€μκ² νμνμΌλ©°, μ½ 5,400λ§ μ£Όλ₯Ό μμ¬μ£Όλ‘ λ§€μ νμ΅λλ€. μ΄λ 2025 νκ³μ°λμ λ§€μ ν μμ¬μ£Ό κ·λͺ¨μ λ λ°°κ° λλ μμ€μ λλ€. |

Additionally, the Board of Directors approved a $10 billion increase in our share repurchase authorization. These actions reflect our confidence in the business and our ability to generate strong cash flow in any environment. Next to guidance. Looking ahead to FY '27, we expect to build on a record FY '26 and deliver another exceptional year.

| This is demonstrated by $10 billion in shipments in FY '25 and 150% year-over-year growth to $25 billion in FY '26 with an exiting backlog of $43 billion. For FY '27, we expect $50 billion in AI revenue, about 100% growth year-over-year. This outlook reflects the composition of our existing backlog, customer readiness and delivery schedules. Across the rest of the business, customers are assessing their needs and priorities in an environment where component demand is outpacing supply, which is elevating input costs and extending lead times. We have priced to offset these pressures, and our guidance incorporates a prudent view of second half demand while navigating this dynamic environment. | μ΄λ 2025 νκ³μ°λμ 100μ΅ λ¬λ¬μ μΆνλμ κΈ°λ‘νκ³ , 2026 νκ³μ°λμλ μ λ

Traditional servers and storage are expected to be up mid-single digits with growth concentrated in traditional servers and more weighted towards the first half. CSG is expected to grow roughly 1%. Margin rate expansion remains a priority. We're maintaining pricing discipline and our transition to Dell IP storage is accretive to margins.

Operating income is expected to grow approximately 18%. I&O is expected to be between $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion. Diluted non-GAAP earnings per share is expected to be $12.90, plus or minus $0.25, up 25% at the midpoint. | μ΄μ λΉμ©μ ν μλ¦Ώμ μ΄λ° μ¦κ°ν κ²μΌλ‘ μμλ©λλ€. μ΄λ AIλ₯Ό νμ©νμ¬ μ΄μ λͺ¨λΈμ κ°μννκ³ , νμ€ννλ©°, μλννκ³ , ν₯μμν€λ νλνμ μ§μμ μΌλ‘ ν¬μνλ©΄μ μλΉν μ΄μ λ λ²λ¦¬μ§λ₯Ό λ¬μ±ν κ²μ΄κΈ° λλ¬Έμ λλ€.

| We expect operating income to be up roughly 60% with sequential improvements in CSG operating income rate. We anticipate a diluted share count of roughly 664 million shares. Diluted non-GAAP earnings per share is expected to be $2.90, plus or minus $0.10, up 87% at the midpoint. In closing, we delivered an extraordinary year with record revenue, EPS, cash flow and capital returns. Revenue reached $113.5 billion, up 19%. EPS grew 27% to $10.30. We generated over $11 billion in cash and returned $7.5 billion to shareholders. Our focus is clear: drive durable shareholder value through consistent execution, profitable growth and robust cash generation through any cycle or environment. | μ ν¬λ CSG μμ

| Timothy Long: Barclays Bank PLC, Research Division Yes, I'll try to be concise. I did want to just follow up on the AI servers. Obviously, pretty huge order number there, really good performance. Just curious if you could kind of provide us a little color. Clearly, given the demand backdrop, it seems like you're not really seeing any memory price impacts on that business. But I am curious, as the business scales continually, it seems like you're maintaining that mid-single-digit operating margin, which is excellent. But as we see scale and all the diversification you're talking about, maybe you could just provide a little color on other opportunities either on the margin front or pull-through of other business as that business reaches a much broader, more diversified customer base? | **Timothy Long:** λ€, κ°κ²°νκ² λ§μλλ¦¬κ² μ΅λλ€.

| Jeffrey Clarke: COO & Vice Chairman Yes, Tim, I'll take the question. I mean let's start with -- we had an extraordinary quarter, taking $34 billion worth of orders. And I think equally important, and we tried to call this out, the 5-quarter pipeline grew as well. We didn't drain it. We actually grew it, and we grew it across all customer types, CSPs, sovereign, neoclouds as we call CSPs and enterprise. Enterprise, in particular, I'd call out in Q4 demand is very strong. We now have over 4,000 customers. We saw our enterprise AI business grow significantly quarter-over-quarter and very encouraging. And we're seeing AI deployed across many use cases in enterprise. So the backdrop of demand continues to be strong. And you called it out, we tried to call it out as well. We operated throughout the quarter and over the course of the year in that mid-single-digit operating income. With what we see in front of us, there's no reason to change that. That is our guidance of where we can operate this business, and we're going to continue to grow it. It's exciting to say that we can grow it twice what it was this year. We grew orders 6x over the previous year, and we're excited about the prospects of growth. And probably a backdrop from a technology perspective, as we see inference ramp, inference is driving more tokens, tokens drive more compute capacity and intensity. And ultimately, that is good for the revenue stream of the company. | **Jeffrey Clarke:** λ€, ν, μ κ° λ΅λ³λλ¦¬κ² μ΅λλ€. μ°μ , μ ν¬λ 340μ΅ λ¬λ¬(billion dollars) κ·λͺ¨μ μμ£Όλ₯Ό κΈ°λ‘νλ©° μ λ§ λλΌμ΄ λΆκΈ°λ₯Ό 보λμ΅λλ€. κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ κ·Έλ§νΌ μ€μνλ€κ³ μκ°νλ μ μ, μ ν¬κ° κ°μ‘°νκ³ μ νλ λΆλΆμΈλ°, 5λΆκΈ° νμ΄νλΌμΈ(pipeline) μμ μ±μ₯νλ€λ κ²μ λλ€. νμ΄νλΌμΈμ μμ§ν κ²μ΄ μλλΌ μ€νλ € λλ Έμ΅λλ€. κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μ΄λ CSP(ν΄λΌμ°λ μλΉμ€ μ 곡μ 체), μ λΆ κΈ°κ΄, μ ν¬κ° CSPλΌκ³ λΆλ₯΄λ λ€μ€ν΄λΌμ°λ(neocloud), κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ κΈ°μ κ³ κ° λ± λͺ¨λ κ³ κ° μ νμμ κ³ λ₯΄κ² μ±μ₯νμ΅λλ€. νΉν 4λΆκΈ°μλ κΈ°μ λΆλ¬Έμ μμκ° λ§€μ° κ°νμ΅λλ€. νμ¬ μ ν¬λ 4,000κ° μ΄μμ κ³ κ°μ¬λ₯Ό 보μ νκ³ μμ΅λλ€. κΈ°μ AI(μΈκ³΅μ§λ₯) μ¬μ μ λΆκΈ° λλΉ μλΉν μ±μ₯μ 보μκ³ , μ΄λ λ§€μ° κ³ λ¬΄μ μΈ κ²°κ³Όμ λλ€. λν, κΈ°μ λ΄μμ AIκ° λ€μν μ¬μ© μ¬λ‘(use cases)μ κ±Έμ³ λ°°ν¬λκ³ μλ κ²μ νμΈνκ³ μμ΅λλ€. λ°λΌμ μ λ°μ μΈ μμ νκ²½μ κ³μν΄μ κ°μΈλ₯Ό μ μ§νκ³ μμ΅λλ€. λ§μνμ ¨λ―μ΄, μ ν¬λ μ΄ μ μ κ°μ‘°νκ³ μ νμ΅λλ€. μ ν¬λ ν΄λΉ λΆκΈ° λ΄λ΄ κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μ°κ°μΌλ‘ ν μλ¦Ώμ μ€λ°λ μμ μ΄μ΅(mid-single-digit operating income)μ κΈ°λ‘νλ©° μ¬μ μ μ΄μνμ΅λλ€. νμ¬ μ ν¬κ° λ³΄κ³ μλ μν©μΌλ‘λ, μ΄λ₯Ό λ³κ²½ν μ΄μ κ° μ ν μμ΅λλ€. μ΄κ²μ΄ λ°λ‘ μ ν¬κ° μ΄ μ¬μ μ μ΄μν μ μλ λ°©ν₯μ λν κ°μ΄λμ€(guidance)μ΄λ©°, μ ν¬λ κ³μν΄μ μ¬μ μ μ±μ₯μμΌ λκ° κ²μ λλ€. μ¬ν΄ λλΉ λ λ°°λ‘ μ±μ₯μν¬ μ μλ€λ μ μ μ λ§ κΈ°μκ² λ§μλ릴 μ μμ΅λλ€. μ ν¬λ μ λ λλΉ μ£Όλ¬Έλμ 6λ°° μ±μ₯μμΌ°μΌλ©°, μμΌλ‘μ μ±μ₯ μ λ§μ λν΄ λ§€μ° κΈ°λνκ³ μμ΅λλ€. κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ κΈ°μ μ μΈ κ΄μ μμ λ³Ό λ, μΆλ‘ (inference)μ΄ μ¦κ°ν¨μ λ°λΌ λ λ§μ ν ν°(tokens)μ΄ μμ±λκ³ , μ΄λ λ€μ λ λ§μ μ»΄ν¨ν μ©λ(compute capacity)κ³Ό κ°λ(intensity)λ₯Ό μꡬνκ² λ©λλ€. κΆκ·Ήμ μΌλ‘ μ΄λ μ ν¬ νμ¬μ λ§€μΆ νλ¦(revenue stream)μ λ§€μ° κΈμ μ μΈ μν₯μ λ―ΈμΉ©λλ€. |
| Operator: And we'll take our next question from Mark Newman with Bernstein. | **Operator:** λ€μ μ§λ¬Έ λ°κ² μ΅λλ€. |
| Mark Newman: Bernstein Institutional Services LLC, Research Division Great numbers, very impressive numbers on AI servers. I wonder if you could talk about the profitability of AI servers given the huge numbers you're posting. Any change directionally versus previous quarter and going forward that we may anticipate given the huge upside on the top line? And then similarly, I guess we'll get to this later in the call, but a little bit more explanation on how rising memory prices are impacting profitability in CSG and traditional servers would be appreciated. | **Mark Newman:** AI μλ² λΆλ¬Έμ μ€μ μ΄ λ§€μ° νλ₯νκ³ μΈμμ μ λλ€. μ΄λ κ² μμ²λ μ€μ μ κΈ°λ‘νκ³ μλ AI μλ²μ μμ΅μ± (profitability)μ λν΄ λ§μν΄ μ£Όμ€ μ μμκΉμ? λ§€μΆ (top line)μ ν° μ±μ₯μΈλ₯Ό κ°μν λ, μ§λ λΆκΈ° λλΉ λλ ν₯ν μμλλ μμ΅μ± μΆμ΄μ λ³νκ° μμμ§ κΆκΈν©λλ€. κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μ΄ λΆλΆμ μλ§ ν΅ν νλ°λΆμ λ€μ λ Όμλ μλ μκ² μ§λ§, CSG (Client Solutions Group) λ° κΈ°μ‘΄ μλ² (traditional servers) λΆλ¬Έμμ λ©λͺ¨λ¦¬ κ°κ²© μμΉ (rising memory prices)μ΄ μμ΅μ±μ μ΄λ€ μν₯μ λ―ΈμΉλμ§ μ’ λ μμΈν μ€λͺ ν΄ μ£Όμλ©΄ κ°μ¬νκ² μ΅λλ€. |
| Jeffrey Clarke: COO & Vice Chairman So two questions. The first one, I'll reemphasize what we just talked about. We maintained throughout the quarter in the guidance that David just talked about that we can operate AI at the velocity we're seeing in the mid-single digits. We have a significant technology transition in front of us. We see our ability to work our way through that and maintain mid-single digits. We clearly have a lot of backlog to clear with $43 billion in backlog. Backlog will ship at mid-single digits. So hopefully, those are 3 data points of backlog, future demand and technology transition that -- and in our guide that we can maintain the profitability that we've talked about. When we look at the other two businesses, traditional servers and CSG that you called out, I think we are operating at a high level of proficiency of changing our price as our input costs are rapidly changing. We began to change price, most notably in servers in mid-December, December 10 to be specific, and we saw our margins stabilize with higher input costs coming our way. CSG, we purposely -- we were deliberate in delaying moving price because we leaned into a share position. We began that in October. We gained momentum in October, November and December. You saw that in the share results. Our business grew 18% in a market that grew 10%. We took 100 basis points of share. We chose not to take our foot off the accelerator. We saw a change in the composition of the business in December, in particular, with a higher mix of large deals as well as acquisition pricing of new customers. We grew our customer base in CSG. And then we made a price change on January 6. When we made a price change on January 6, our business normalized, margins stabilized and they're where they need to be, so we can operate within the profitability framework that we've committed to. I hope that was clear enough. | **Jeffrey Clarke:** 첫 λ²μ§Έ μ§λ¬Έμ λν΄ λ§μλ리μλ©΄, λ°©κΈ λ

| Louis Miscioscia: Daiwa Capital Markets America Inc., Research Division Great numbers, guys. Congratulations. If you look at traditional servers, obviously, you're growing exceptionally well in the AI ones. Some of our checks suggested faster growth in that area. So I guess I'm just trying to understand why number is not higher for that more into the solid double-digit range.

| Jeffrey Clarke: COO & Vice Chairman Louis, let me try to break that down, and I'll ask for David's help on sort of the forward guide. In the quarter, I think we were very outspoken about demand outpaced supply and traditional servers grew double digits. And we saw that across all use cases in small business, medium business, large multinationals across all geographies. We saw the continuation of the consolidation that we've talked about and modernization that we've talked about in traditional data centers where you get incredible efficiency upgrading old technology. For example, our 14G is converted to a 17G converts at 6:1 to 7:1. So you're getting incredible efficiencies in power, space and cooling and that continued throughout the quarter, and we're projecting that to continue into fiscal '27. Additionally, we are seeing AI workloads on x86 pick up. I think that is significant. And we saw that in enterprises. A phrase that we use inside the company is AI forward. So the most advanced enterprises that are really adapting AI are moving quickly.

| Chief Financial Officer: Yes. So to build on that, Jeff, like you said, demand far outweighs supply in relation to the Q4 results. Q1 guide, a strong reflection. We see that momentum continuing at strong double-digit growth in Q1. We have moderated that slightly as we go into the back half of the year. There's a lot of dynamics out there as we watch the supply-demand dynamics. Part of that will be us out there looking for more supply. But if this demand continues, obviously, there is the potential for growth. But you're going to see in Q1, we're guiding to a particularly strong quarter similar to Q4. | **Chief Financial Officer:** λ€, μ νλκ»μ λ§μνμ ¨λ―μ΄, 4λΆκΈ° μ€μ (Q4 results)κ³Ό κ΄λ ¨ν΄μλ μμκ° κ³΅κΈμ ν¨μ¬ μ΄κ³Όνμ΅λλ€. 1λΆκΈ° κ°μ΄λμ€(Q1 guide)λ μ΄λ₯Ό κ°λ ₯νκ² λ°μνκ³ μμ΅λλ€. μ΄λ¬ν λͺ¨λ©ν (momentum)μ΄ 1λΆκΈ°(Q1)μλ κ°λ ₯ν λ μλ¦Ώμ μ±μ₯(double-digit growth)μΌλ‘ μ΄μ΄μ§ κ²μΌλ‘ λ³΄κ³ μμ΅λλ€. νλ°κΈ°(back half of the year)λ‘ κ°μλ‘ μ΄λ¬ν κΈ°μ‘°λ₯Ό λ€μ μννμ΅λλ€. 곡κΈ-μμ μν(supply-demand dynamics)μ μ£Όμνλ©΄μ λ§μ λ³λ μμΈλ€μ΄ μ‘΄μ¬ν©λλ€. κ·Έμ€ μΌλΆλ μ ν¬κ° μ§μ λμμ λ λ§μ 곡κΈμ ν보νλ €λ λ Έλ ₯μ΄ λ κ²μ λλ€. νμ§λ§ μ΄λ¬ν μμκ° κ³μλλ€λ©΄, λΆλͺ ν μ±μ₯μ μ μ¬λ ₯(potential for growth)μ μμ΅λλ€. 1λΆκΈ°(Q1)μλ 4λΆκΈ°(Q4)μ μ μ¬νκ² νΉν κ°λ ₯ν μ€μ μ μμνκ³ μμ΅λλ€. |

| Amit Daryanani: Evercore ISI Institutional Equities, Research Division Clearly, you folks did not get the memo that you're supposed to miss numbers, by the way, when memory prices go up. But it's good to see these results. And I'm hoping you folks can talk about. As we shift to Rubin, could you just contrast how you think the Rubin cycle plays out in '27 versus the Blackwell cycle? And really hoping you can touch on, a, do you think operating margins will be much more smoother through Rubin? Or will it have the same cadence that we saw with Blackwell? And then b, do you think the revenue lumpiness could be less severe as you have a much more diversified customer base perhaps? So I'd love to just contrast those things. And then David, perhaps I missed this, free cash flow expectations for fiscal '27 would be appreciated as well. | **Amit Daryanani:** λ©λͺ¨λ¦¬ κ°κ²©μ΄ μ€λ₯΄λ©΄ μ€μ μ λμ³μΌ νλ€λ (μΌμ’

| Jeffrey Clarke: COO & Vice Chairman Sure, Amit. On Vera Rubin, look, we're excited about the technology that's in front of us. We have a significant technology transition to go through. There's been a lot of lessons learned from the Grace Blackwell implementations. We're expecting a smoother transition. We're expecting all of the manufacturing lessons and lessons around test that are implemented into the next architecture to allow us to ramp with more velocity and speed. So that's -- we believe that's the case. We have our early engineering samples. We're working with customers now on designs. Very encouraged with what we're seeing thus far. When I look in terms of operating margins, the question, I guess, will be consistent here. We believe we can operate in the mid-single digits with the backlog at hand with the new orders that we will take on over the course of the year, which will include Vera Rubin. And that's our outlook and guidance and what we've implied in the numbers that David has given. And I think it is a smoother transition. We've learned a lot. We're more enabled, more skilled. We've invested in more engineering capability. Our forward deployed engineers, again, are working with customers right now on advanced designs. And I like what we're doing. And I expect it to ship in the second half of the year because we know Vera Rubin is in production. | **Jeffrey Clarke:** λ² λΌ λ£¨λΉ(Vera Rubin)κ³Ό κ΄λ ¨ν΄μ λ§μλλ¦¬κ² μ΅λλ€. μ ν¬λ νμ¬ λΉλ©΄ν κΈ°μ μ λν΄ λ§€μ° κΈ°λνκ³ μμ΅λλ€. μ ν¬λ μλΉν κΈ°μ μ ν(technology transition)μ κ²ͺμ΄μΌ ν©λλ€. κ·Έλ μ΄μ€ λΈλμ°(Grace Blackwell) ꡬνμμ λ§μ κ΅νμ μ»μμΌλ©°, μ΄λ₯Ό ν΅ν΄ λμ± μνν μ νμ μμνκ³ μμ΅λλ€. μ μ‘° λ° ν

| Chief Financial Officer: And to touch on cash. I mean obviously, we're coming off the back of a very strong FY '26, $4.7 billion of cash flow from operations. That totaled up to $11.2 billion for the full year, and that allowed us to maintain our commitments to our shareholders, right, to return over 80% of our adjusted free cash flow back, repurchasing over 54 million shares in the year. And while we don't guide to cash, but what I can say is we expect another really strong cash or cash year ahead our net income to adjusted free cash flow will be at or slightly ahead of our commitment in our long-term value creation framework. And that consistency and ability to reward the shareholders will be strong again. You can see that with our dividend commitment today, 20% growth in our dividend per share. That's the fourth year in a row of double-digit increase in our dividend per share. That with our execution on the share buyback program means we should have a very strong and stable working capital year ahead. | **Chief Financial Officer:** νκΈ νλ¦μ λν΄ λ§μλ리μλ©΄, μμλ€μνΌ μ ν¬λ 2026 νκ³μ°λ(FY)μ 47μ΅ λ¬λ¬μ λ¬νλ λ§€μ° κ°λ ₯ν μμ

| Melius Research LLC: Nice execution here, guys. I'll echo that. My question is on storage. It sounds like it's turning a little bit. You beat the Street by a little bit, 2%. And then you said, I believe that it will grow in the mid-singles for the year, and it looks like it may outgrow servers in the back half of the year. So can you just talk about what's really going on with storage, your highest margin business? Is it really turning? Is it going to be a contributor to mix in the upcoming year that allows you to keep gross margins pretty flat for the year in a tough component environment? | **Melius Research LLC:** μ€νλ ₯μ΄ μ λ§ μ’μΌμλ€μ. μ λ μ μ μΌλ‘ λκ°ν©λλ€. μ μ§λ¬Έμ μ€ν 리μ§(storage) μ¬μ μ λν κ²μ λλ€. μ€ν λ¦¬μ§ μ¬μ μ΄ μ‘°κΈμ© μ νμ μ λ§κ³ μλ κ²μ²λΌ 보μ λλ€. μμ₯ μμμΉλ₯Ό 2% μν μννμ ¨κ³ μ. κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μ¬ν΄ μ€λ° ν μλ¦Ώμ(mid-singles) μ±μ₯μ μμνμκ³ , νλ°κΈ°μλ μλ²(server) μ¬μ λ³΄λ€ λ λμ μ±μ₯μΈλ₯Ό λ³΄μΌ μλ μλ€κ³ λ§μνμ ¨μ΅λλ€. κ·Έλ λ€λ©΄ κ°μ₯ λμ λ§μ§(margin)μ μλνλ μ€ν λ¦¬μ§ μ¬μ μμ μ€μ λ‘ μ΄λ€ μΌλ€μ΄ λ²μ΄μ§κ³ μλμ§ μ€λͺ ν΄ μ£Όμκ² μ΅λκΉ? μ λ§λ‘ μ νμ μ λ§κ³ μλ κ²μΈκ°μ? μ΄λ €μ΄ λΆν νκ²½ μμμλ μ¬ν΄ μ΄ λ§μ§(gross margin)μ κ±°μ μ μ§ν μ μλλ‘ λ΄λ μ¬μ ꡬμ±(mix)μ μ€μν κΈ°μ¬λ₯Ό ν μ μμκΉμ? |
| Jeffrey Clarke: COO & Vice Chairman Sure, Ben. Look, we're excited about our storage business. Again, we're reporting that on an orders basis, our Dell IP portfolio grew double digits. That's the entire portfolio. PowerMax, PowerStore, PowerScale, ObjectScale and our data domain platforms all grew double-digit demand. Our all-flash grew double-digit demand. It grew in all regions, and we acquired new customers. PowerStore grew its eighth consecutive quarter, 7 of those -- the last 7 double digit. Half of those new customers that we are winning are new to PowerStore and nearly 30% are new to Dell buying storage. We saw tremendous demand for our unstructured products as AI inference and AI continues to grow, grow, grow. Our Dell IP portfolio is now a greater percentage of the mix year-over-year. We expect it to grow FY '27 over '26, it will be a greater percentage of mix next year than this year. That's part of the profit contribution that David has outlined in our guidance. And we're entering an era in my humble opinion, where architecture matters. So where we have the leading data rate reduction 5:1 with our PowerStore product, we're going to increase customers' effective storage capacity. We're the leader there. You take our data protection product where we have up to 75:1 compression in dedupe, we are going to help customers through this memory crisis shortage, whatever you want to call it, with advanced architectures that require fewer servers and fewer drives to back up customers' information. That architecture difference, we believe, is fuel that will continue to serve our Dell IP portfolio well in FY '27. | **Jeffrey Clarke:** λ€, λ²€. μ ν¬λ μ€ν 리μ§(storage) μ¬μ

| Chief Financial Officer: I would also add there, Ben, I think you asked about the contribution and the margin that we see going forward. Well, we see it today, right, the results from Q4 illustrate that in relation to the [indiscernible] performance of the ISG P&L, which was tremendous. As we look into the guidance, particularly in the back half of the year, we talk about mid-single digit between traditional server and storage, maybe a smidgen more on the traditional server side, but growth nonetheless.

| Erik Woodring: Morgan Stanley, Research Division Really impressive guide.

| Chief Financial Officer: Yes, a few questions in there. I think if you go line by line in terms of the business, so we talk CSG in relation to guidance, our current assessment of the market is double digit, probably in around that minus 11%, minus 12% range. As we look at the year ahead, probably more acute in the second half. So obviously, we believe our guide, which is 1% growth in revenue for the year ahead is a prudent guide to start with, aligned with our commitment to manage and maintain our margin rates within that portfolio. So you can see the difference between the units and the revenue there. We do and will take share just like we did in Q4. But we'll obviously learn as we go to the price increases have been there. Costs will continue to go up to a certain degree. We'll make quick and decisive decisions and execute. Jeff outlined earlier the ability and the execution of the team, particularly on the server side in relation to Q4. We're already seeing the signs of that for Q1. So all the actions we discussed around time validity of quotes moving at speed, increasing list prices, moving to discount off list pricing, limiting to little or no promotions. All of those actions are strong operational execution levers we've got to work the business as we kind of move forward into the guidance. | **Chief Financial Officer:** λ€, λͺ κ°μ§ μ§λ¬Έμ μ£Όμ

| Jeffrey Clarke: COO & Vice Chairman I mean, Erik, you asked about memory assumptions. Obviously, our price is proprietary. I'm not going to share our specific percentages. But look at the spot market. I mean the spot market for a gigabit of DRAM over the last 6 months is up nearly 5.5x at $2.39 a gigabit. If you look at NAND, the cost is $0.20 a gigabyte, that's up nearly 4x over the last 6 months. The industry analysts have Q2 up over Q1 in a range of 20% to 50% at Q3, 5% to 15%. Q4, 5% to 10%. Those are estimates. Those are probably in ballparks where things are. So we haven't changed anything. We continue to work with our long-term partners. We've had LTAs in place. We've had capacity agreements in place. We know how to budgetary price. I mean, David's team has our best estimate of cost for Q2, Q3 and Q4 and how we're pricing deals today. We're working with our memory partners to be as flexible and as agile as possible. We are working through things of how do we minimize our complexity, how do we improve our mix, how do we sell what's coming, how do we improve our designs to take whatever parts that are available. And then to answer really to maybe put the bow around this, the pricing actions, look, we became very proficient during COVID. And all of the best practices that we learned during COVID, as I mentioned in the last call, we put in place and we put in place faster. We changed the entire pricing of our server business on December 10 in a couple of days. We had tens of thousands of open quotes in the PC business and changed them all on January 6. This notion of we recover our cost in 2/3 of it in 90 days, we moved that quickly. That's what we learned in COVID. That's what we put in place here. So we made list price changes across the board. We've changed in our vernacular, our internal mechanisms around smart price and margin floors all changed instantaneously. We're moving to discount off list price. We're compressing discounting. Our quotes are valid for the shortest period of time they've ever been. And we're reducing promotions and all sorts of special pricing going forward. That's what we've done. It's been in place. As I mentioned with one of the previous questions, we saw our server business stabilize with the higher input cost. You saw that in the performance of the business in ISG, which was extraordinary. In PCs, we purposely delayed implementing that price move to stay in the hunt to take share and to drive growth, which will serve us for the long run. And then when we made the change on January 6, it wasn't 90 days later, it was that day we stabilized margins. I hope that helped. | **Jeffrey Clarke:** μ, μλ¦, λ©λͺ¨λ¦¬ κ°μ (memory assumptions)μ λν΄ μ§λ¬Ένμ

You kind of said that it's very strong in your server business. Clearly, agentic AI, long horizon agents, all of them has implications across your server, Dell AI factory and your storage business. I'm just wondering, is there a way to break down your AI server orders between enterprise, neoclouds and sovereign? And when do you expect enterprise AI adoption to spill over to your storage segment and probably start a new storage cycle? | **Sreekrishnan Sankarnarayanan:** λλΌμ΄ κ²°κ³Όμ μΆνλ립λλ€. μν°νλΌμ΄μ¦ AI (Enterprise AI) λμ

| Jeffrey Clarke: COO & Vice Chairman Well, of course, there's a way to parse it. I won't do this on the call, but we absolutely keep track of the health and growth of those 3 parts, our neoclouds, sovereigns and enterprise. We try to give you a sense of the enterprise adoption with the number of customers, which is now over 4,000. We gave, I think, some breadcrumbs, if you will, around the buyer base grew. It was a record quarter in enterprise revenue in Q4. We're seeing usage models expand. I take a look at our own company, an example that I would give, 2 years ago, we deployed coding assistance and used some GPU capacity. Mid last year, we started deploying agents to write the actual software with basically specifications from our software developers and architects. And what we saw was an incredible need for more compute power. The amount of tokens that is required to do that well is significant. And that's just one use case in one company. And what we believe is we're seeing that broadly in the leading companies who have deployed AI and seeing the tremendous benefit and potential of this technology that we're going to see AI and enterprise continue to ramp. We'll continue to give you signals of our customer expansion, the revenue going forward. I'd also just to make sure that I'm very clear, the enterprise portion of our 5-quarter pipeline grew and actually was the fastest-growing portion of the 5-quarter pipeline. I hope that helped put some context around it. | **Jeffrey Clarke:** λ¬Όλ‘ , μ΄λ₯Ό μΈλΆνν΄μ λ³Ό μ μλ λ°©λ²μ΄ μμ΅λλ€. μ΄ μ리μμ λ€ λ§μλ리μ§λ μκ² μ§λ§, μ ν¬λ λ€μ€ν΄λΌμ°λ(neoclouds), μ£ΌκΆ ν΄λΌμ°λ(sovereigns), κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μν°νλΌμ΄μ¦(enterprise) μ΄ μΈ κ°μ§ μμμ 건μ μ±κ³Ό μ±μ₯μ μ² μ ν μΆμ κ΄λ¦¬νκ³ μμ΅λλ€. μ ν¬λ κ³ κ° μλ₯Ό ν΅ν΄ μν°νλΌμ΄μ¦(enterprise) λμ λ₯ μ λν κ°μ λλ¦¬λ €κ³ λ Έλ ₯νκ³ μλλ°, νμ¬ κ³ κ° μλ 4,000κ°λ₯Ό λμ΄μ°μ΅λλ€. ꡬ맀μ κΈ°λ°μ΄ μ±μ₯νλ€λ μ μ λν΄ λͺ κ°μ§ λ¨μ(breadcrumbs)λ₯Ό λλ Έλ€κ³ μκ°ν©λλ€. 4λΆκΈ° μν°νλΌμ΄μ¦(enterprise) λ§€μΆ(revenue)μ μ¬μ μ΅κ³ μΉλ₯Ό κΈ°λ‘νμ΅λλ€. μ¬μ© λͺ¨λΈλ νμ₯λκ³ μλ κ²μ λ³Ό μ μμ΅λλ€. μ ν¬ νμ¬ μ체λ₯Ό μλ‘ λ€μ΄λ³΄μλ©΄, 2λ μ μλ μ½λ© μ§μ(coding assistance)μ λ°°ν¬νκ³ GPU μ©λ(GPU capacity)μ μΌλΆ μ¬μ©νμ΅λλ€. μλ μ€λ°λΆν°λ μ ν¬ μννΈμ¨μ΄ κ°λ°μ(software developers)μ μν€ν νΈ(architects)μ μ¬μ(specifications)μ λ°λΌ μ€μ μννΈμ¨μ΄λ₯Ό μμ±νλ μμ΄μ νΈ(agents)λ₯Ό λ°°ν¬νκΈ° μμνμ΅λλ€. μ ν¬κ° λͺ©κ²©ν κ²μ μ»΄ν¨ν νμ(compute power)μ λν μμ²λ μμμμ΅λλ€. μ΄λ₯Ό μ λλ‘ μννλ λ° νμν ν ν°(token)μ μμ μλΉν©λλ€. κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μ΄κ²μ λ¨ ν νμ¬μμμ νλμ μ¬μ© μ¬λ‘μ λΆκ³Όν©λλ€. μ ν¬λ AIλ₯Ό λμ νμ¬ μ΄ κΈ°μ μ μμ²λ μ΄μ κ³Ό μ μ¬λ ₯μ κ²½ννκ³ μλ μ λ κΈ°μ λ€ μ λ°μμ μ΄λ¬ν νμμ κ΄λ²μνκ² λͺ©κ²©νκ³ μμΌλ©°, κΈ°μ AI(enterprise AI)κ° κ³μν΄μ μ±μ₯ν κ²μ΄λΌκ³ λ―Ώμ΅λλ€. μ ν¬λ μμΌλ‘λ κ³ κ° νμ₯κ³Ό ν₯ν λ§€μΆ(revenue)μ λν μ§νλ€μ κ³μν΄μ μ κ³΅ν΄ λ릴 κ²μ λλ€. λν, λΆλͺ ν λ§μλ리μλ©΄, μ ν¬μ 5λΆκΈ° νμ΄νλΌμΈ(pipeline) μ€ κΈ°μ λΆλ¬Έμ΄ μ±μ₯νμΌλ©°, μ€μ λ‘ 5λΆκΈ° νμ΄νλΌμΈμμ κ°μ₯ λΉ λ₯΄κ² μ±μ₯ν λΆλΆμ΄μμ΅λλ€. μ΄ μ€λͺ μ΄ μν©μ μ΄ν΄νμλ λ° λμμ΄ λμκΈ°λ₯Ό λ°λλλ€. |

| Wamsi Mohan: BofA Securities, Research Division Jeff, maybe you can talk a little bit about what you're seeing from a purchasing behavior standpoint as you're implementing these price increases. It sounds like you deliberately delayed your CSG price increases to take share, obviously, indicates that, that is elastic in that sense. From a server perspective, you did implement and you've had some time now to look at sort of what the reaction from customers has been. I'm kind of curious to see if you've either seen material elasticity, both on CSG and ISG side. If you could like maybe put some bookmarks around that? And also, did you see any pull forward behavior given that the expectation is that you shorten sort of these windows of [indiscernible] validity, you're talking about continued sort of price escalation from a component standpoint. Are customers worried about supply? And is that creating any change in terms of pull forward across your portfolio? And quickly, if I could, for David, the inventory stepped up a fair amount. I'm just kind of wondering if you could break that down for us a little bit on the composition of those things. | **Wamsi Mohan:** κ°κ²© μΈμ(price increases)μ λ¨ννμλ©΄μ ꡬ맀 νλ(purchasing behavior) μΈ‘λ©΄μμ μ΄λ€ λ³νλ₯Ό 보μ

| Chief Financial Officer: Yes, sure. I think, look, if you look at our cash conversion cycle, minus 32 days, that's actually flat quarter-on-quarter and actually improvement of a day year-on-year. So if you think building on the expansion of our AI business and shipments that we've done to maintain our cash conversion cycle in that position shows the diligence that we have from a working capital perspective. We have guided to $13 billion in Q1 of AI shipments. That results in reality in February and March, we're shipping billions of dollars of gear. And obviously, we're positioning inventory to do that. So it's purely a function of the size and scale and growth we're seeing in the business that we've got. | **Chief Financial Officer:** λ€, λ¬Όλ‘ μ

| Jeffrey Clarke: COO & Vice Chairman Wamsi, I'm going to take a run at all the parts of that question. So how are customers doing reacting? I mean, clearly, early on, there was a wide range of emotions. As it wasn't completely understood. And there's a dynamic that I think it's important for me to communicate a different reaction in PCs versus infrastructure. So I'm going to talk initially about infrastructure, then I'll pivot to PCs. In infrastructure after the sticker shock and our customers began to understand the gravity of the situation, the conversations quickly turned to access to supply. It was not literally a light switch, but it was a pretty quick order after the emotions of price increases, it was, oh, this is real. And as you know, over the course of the quarter, the understanding of this situation became better understood. Customers began to see that. And the largest customers in the world, the most sophisticated customers in the world began to move aggressively to protect their infrastructure build-outs. And we saw that over the course of the quarter in AI and in traditional servers and in storage. PCs was a little different because you had inflated inventory positions in the channel. So the cost did not hit that inventory, which is another reason why we stayed in price position for growth. And when we began to see it in PCs was in large bids, where they would be fulfilled over the course of the year, course over the first half and what have you, customers began to see the reality that this was going to be tight costs were going to go up depending on when you wanted product and delivery, there was an associated cost with it. And then when you started having conversations, what's this going to cost me in the first half versus today and you give an answer, I don't know. It certainly heightens a buyer's awareness and understanding the cost today is likely better than the price that will be tomorrow, the next day and so on. So that clearly has driven some amount of pull ahead. I don't know how to quantify that. What we do know is IT budgets are generally fixed at the beginning of the year. So this pull-in is going to obviously drain those IT budgets to some degree. That's sort of what we put into our guide, our best understanding of that and why you saw some of the numbers around our PC business and traditional server business. But clearly, technology has to be replaced. If budgets aren't sufficient this year, that just means replacement cycles will be elongated and extended. And I think the result over the next couple of years is we'll see product bought early, but we'll also see the replacement of some technology extend over time.

| Samik Chatterjee: JPMorgan Chase & Co, Research Division Congrats on the outlook as well. Jeff, maybe I just want to get sort of any more color that you can share on the AI order backlog of $43 billion. How does it break down between Blackwell and Vera Rubin? And what are the implications of when some of that backlog ships based on the backlog mix? And you're now guiding to $50 billion of revenue on that front. How should we think about capacity? You're doubling sort of revenue, but to the extent that demand is higher, how should we think about your ability to add capacity over time? | **Samik Chatterjee:** λ¨Όμ , μ΄λ² μ€μ μ λ§μ λν΄ μΆνλ립λλ€. 430μ΅ λ¬λ¬μ λ¬νλ AI μ£Όλ¬Έ μκ³ (order backlog)μ λν΄ μ’ λ μμΈν λ΄μ©μ 곡μ ν΄ μ£Όμ€ μ μμκΉμ? νΉν, μ΄ μκ³ κ° λΈλμ°(Blackwell)κ³Ό λ² λΌ λ£¨λΉ(Vera Rubin) μ νκ΅°μΌλ‘ μ΄λ»κ² ꡬμ±λμ΄ μλμ§ κΆκΈν©λλ€. λν, μ΄λ¬ν μκ³ κ΅¬μ±μ λ°λΌ μΌλΆ λ¬Όλμ΄ μΈμ μΆνλ μ§, κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ κ·Έ μλ―Έλ 무μμΈμ§ μ€λͺ ν΄ μ£Όμ€ μ μμκΉμ? μ΄ λΆλ¬Έμμ 500μ΅ λ¬λ¬μ λ§€μΆ (revenue) κ°μ΄λμ€λ₯Ό μ μνμ ¨λλ°, μμ° λ₯λ ₯ (capacity)μ λν΄μλ μ΄λ»κ² 보μμΌ ν κΉμ? λ§€μΆμ΄ λ λ°°λ‘ μ¦κ°νλ μν©μ΄μ§λ§, μμκ° κ·Έλ³΄λ€ λ λλ€λ μ μ κ°μν λ, μ₯κΈ°μ μΌλ‘ μμ° λ₯λ ₯μ νμΆ©ν μ μλ μλμ λν΄ μ΄λ»κ² μκ°νμλμ§ κΆκΈν©λλ€. |
| Jeffrey Clarke: COO & Vice Chairman So on the $43 billion backlog, Samik, it is predominantly overwhelmingly Grace Blackwell. There is no Vera Rubin in the backlog. The largest percentage of our 5-quarter pipeline is a combination of Grace Blackwell and Blackwell where we're seeing a rise in x86 Blackwell in the 5-quarter pipeline, driven primarily by enterprise deployment, air being the #1 consideration. The second consideration that's driving that demand in the 5-quarter pipeline tends to be around some of the scientific work. And some of the -- as I mentioned in one of the earlier questions, some of the financial trading models and algorithms, the high-frequency traders and using some of the x86 air-cooled solutions to meet their AI needs. So I think that's sort of the composition of both the backlog and the ability to convert that 5-quarter pipeline. That is clearly our job is to take that 5-quarter pipeline and convert the potential into POs. The corresponding next part of that is we'll go find parts to match the POs. The $50 billion guidance that we gave is the alignment of what we believe at this point in time, 4 weeks into the fiscal year of our best understanding of our customers' deployments and build-out of buildings and power and infrastructure, the availability of DRAM and E1 drives and E3 drives, our ability to deliver that yields the $50 billion number that David gave. But leading the operational part of the organization, we're out looking for more parts. Our job is, again, those orders get converted to be able to fulfill our customers' needs and to do that in a timely fashion. That's what we're working on. | **Jeffrey Clarke:** μ ν¬ 430μ΅ λ¬λ¬(billion dollars) μμ£Όμκ³ (backlog)μ λλΆλΆμ μλμ μΌλ‘ Grace Blackwellμ

| Aaron Rakers: Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Research Division Also my congrats on the quarter. I guess one just housekeeping thing. When I look at the slide deck and you talk about $9.5 billion of AI shipments, you're now disclosing an AI revenue number that's a little bit different, right, $8.95 billion versus $9.5 billion. Can you help me understand what that difference is, number one? And then number two, on the traditional server side, I'm just curious, Jeff, with all of the pricing stuff going on, it sounds like a very healthy demand backdrop. How do I take the context of mid-single-digit growth and maybe separate that between what that underpins in terms of unit growth versus what I would assume to be a pretty healthy ASP uplift environment through the course of this year? | **Aaron Rakers:** μ 곡ν΄μ£Όμ λ΄μ©μ μ λ리μ€νΈμ μ§λ¬Έμ΄λ©°, κ²½μμ§μ λ΅λ³μ΄ μλλλ€. μ§μΉ¨μ λ°λΌ κ²½μμ§μ λ΅λ³λ§ λ²μν μ μμ΅λλ€. κ²½μμ§μ λ΅λ³μ μ 곡ν΄μ£Όμλ©΄ λ²μν΄ λλ¦¬κ² μ΅λλ€. |
| Chief Financial Officer: Yes. So look, the first piece I'd add in relation to shipments versus revenue, normally, in any given quarter, they'll be close to the same number. It's simply in transit. So as we ship out $9.5 billion, some of that obviously would have been happening time-wise right at the end of January. So literally just in transit will show up days later from a P&L perspective. So just normal run the business there in relation to that piece. | **Chief Financial Officer:** λ€, λ¨Όμ μΆνλκ³Ό λ§€μΆ(revenue)μ κ΄κ³μ λν΄ λ§μλλ¦¬κ² μ΅λλ€. μΌλ°μ μΌλ‘ μ΄λ€ λΆκΈ°λ μ΄ λ μμΉλ κ±°μ λμΌν μμ€μ 보μ

| Jeffrey Clarke: COO & Vice Chairman On traditional servers outlook reconciling unit growth of the industry TRU expansion, we clearly saw TRU expansion in Q4. Customers are continuing to migrate towards our 16 and 17G server and buying them with a lot of DRAM and a lot of storage. That's part of the consolidation play, replacing 5:1 if it's a 16G, 7:1 if it's a 17G, and we'll continue to see that behavior of buying servers with more CPU capability. More memory, more storage. Our best estimate in demand for units next year -- or I guess, the year we're in, sorry, excuse me, in FY '27, calendar '26 is units are clearly down while TRUs are up. To reconcile the difference of that spread of prices increasing, I think what we tried to outlay in our guidance, and David can chime in here is the uncertainty. We're being prudent in our planning in our guidance to you because of the uncertainty associated with the second half, we try to put that in our best reflection in our guidance. And that's how you can reconcile between what we talked about in Q4 that demand was out ahead of supply, double-digit growth, TRU expansion, clearly seeing that into Q1. But as we see going into the second half of the year, we're trying to describe that uncertainty. | **Jeffrey Clarke:** μ ν΅ μλ² μ λ§κ³Ό κ΄λ ¨νμ¬, μ

| Chief Financial Officer: And again, just to dovetail on that, again, it's linked to the articulation is if we enter the year, we have sufficient supply to support and meet the guide that we've laid out. Obviously, demand is far outstripping supply right now. If that continues, like Jeff operationally said, we'll -- and he'll be out hunting for more parts to try and find that. But right now, I think it's a good guide. We see this trend, double-digit growth for Q1, and then we'll take care of the rest of the year as we go. | **Chief Financial Officer:** λ€μ νλ² λ§μλ리μλ©΄, μμ μ€λͺ

| Jeffrey Clarke: COO & Vice Chairman Well, clearly, the attach items for us around an AI server, I think, lie in 3 distinct groups: storage. And given the enterprise momentum, we're seeing more storage with enterprise customers. Networking, our networking business continues to grow. And the third bucket would be around all of the types of services. Installation deployment services, break services, which are proven to be a huge source of differentiation for us in the marketplace. Our ability to deploy and install these very complex customers is unmatched in the marketplace today. Our uptimes are the best in the industry. And then our ability to maintain them with Dell badged employees on site, taking care of any challenge, any miscue, again, is a differentiated capability that we have in the marketplace. So those are the 3 areas that we focus on and attach. We're seeing continued growth and acceptance of that, and we're optimistic that will continue into FY '27. | **Jeffrey Clarke:** λͺ

| David Vogt: UBS Investment Bank, Research Division Jeff, just a quick question on the structural share gains in PCs. Is it sort of the premise here that your ability to dynamically adjust price and steer demand based on your supply chain availability and your expertise relative to maybe some of the smaller competitors put you in a position to structurally have a better sort of CSG backdrop in fiscal '27 calendar '26 and more likely than not in fiscal '28 as we think about where you're positioned? Is that really where you're going to see share gains? I'm just trying to get a sense for how you're going to outgrow a market that's going to be down double digits. I get the pricing umbrella that's going to happen, but I just want to get a better sense for where that's the gains are going to come from. | **David Vogt:** PC μμ₯μ ꡬ쑰μ μ μ μ¨ νλ(structural share gains)μ λν΄ κ°λ¨ν μ§λ¬Έλλ¦¬κ² μ΅λλ€. μ¬κΈ°μμ μ μ λ, κ·μ¬μ 곡κΈλ§ κ°μ©μ±(supply chain availability)κ³Ό μ λ¬Έμ±(expertise)μ λ°νμΌλ‘ κ°κ²©μ μλμ μΌλ‘ μ‘°μ νκ³ μμλ₯Ό μ‘°μ νλ λ₯λ ₯μ΄, μΌλΆ μκ·λͺ¨ κ²½μμ¬ λλΉ κ·μ¬λ₯Ό νκ³μ°λ(fiscal year) 27λ

| Jeffrey Clarke: COO & Vice Chairman David, I couldn't have said it better myself. If you look at the last industry-wide shortage, Dell excelled and took share across the board, most notably in its PC business. Our long-term relationships, supply agreements with our partners, we believe, position us to take share in all of our businesses and in particularly PCs. Again, which is a reinforcing point why we didn't back off on the pricing position and the posture that we had during the quarter. We believe we are entering and changed the trajectory of the business. We had lost share for 3 years. We exited the year with tremendous momentum. You saw it in the Q4 results, 14% revenue growth. IDC number was 18% unit growth for Q4, calendar Q4 to be specific. That momentum is important to us. We grew customers, and we're going to continue to focus on driving and winning in that business. And we think there is a structural share gain opportunity for us certainly over the next couple of years as our supply chain team has positioned us quite well. I believe we can do that in servers, and I believe we can do that in storage as well. | **Jeffrey Clarke:** μ κ° λ릴 λ§μμ΄ μμ μ λλ‘ μ μ€λͺ

| Jeffrey Clarke: COO & Vice Chairman Sure. We closed FY '26 a defining year for the company with record results and strong execution, and we are entering FY '27 with clear momentum. We have tremendous AI traction entering the year with $43 billion in AI backlog. The supply environment is tightest we've ever seen and input costs are moving higher. Our priorities are straightforward. First, secure supply; next, price to protect our margin rates. You've seen this in ISG. CSG will follow with improvements beginning in Q1 and continuing through the year. In Q4, our gross margin rate came in slightly better than anticipated. Excluding AI mix, we are guiding FY '27 gross margin rate up on a year-over-year basis. The operating model we've executed for the past 4 decades allows us to move fast and adjust as demand evolves. With a broad portfolio and several levers at our disposal. Our FY '27 guide reflects that 23% revenue growth at the midpoint and 25% EPS growth, driven by the expansion of our AI business, growth and improving profitability across the rest of the portfolio, meaningful OpEx scaling and EPS leverage from our share repurchase program. We are positioned for another record year. Thanks for your time today. | **Jeffrey Clarke:** λ€, μ ν¬λ νμ¬μ νκΈ°μ μΈ ν ν΄μλ 2026 νκ³μ°λ(FY '26)λ₯Ό μ¬μ μ΅κ³ μ μ€μ κ³Ό κ°λ ₯ν μ€νλ ₯μ λ°νμΌλ‘ λ§κ°νμΌλ©°, 2027 νκ³μ°λ(FY '27)λ νμ€ν λͺ¨λ©ν
