Segment
Realignment:
In the first
quarter of Fiscal 2013, Dell made certain segment realignments in order to
conform to the way Dell internally manages segment performance. These
realignments affected all of Dell's operating segments, but primarily consisted
of the transfer of small office business customers from the Small and Medium
Business segment to the Consumer Segment. Dell has recast prior period amounts
to provide visibility and comparability. None of these changes impacts Dell's
previously reported consolidated net revenue, gross margin, operating income,
net income, or earnings per share.
Non-GAAP
Financial Measures:
This
press release includes information about non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP

margin and non-GAAP operating expenses, the “non-GAAP financial measures”),

U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In the following tables, Dell
has provided a reconciliation of each historical non-GAAP financial measure to
the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure under the heading
“Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and has presented a detailed
discussion of its reasons for including the non-GAAP financial measures and the
limitations associated with those measures under the heading “Use of Non-GAAP
Financial Measures.” Dell encourages investors to review the reconciliation and
the non-GAAP discussion in conjunction with Dell’s presentation of these
non-GAAP financial measures.
