Drivers of Long-Term Value

• Dell has demonstrated consistent financial performance, with strong revenue and non-GAAP diluted EPS growth, disciplined capital allocation, and a commitment to returning capital to shareholders.
• The company has nearly doubled non-GAAP diluted EPS over the past five years and expects to double it again, targeting 15%+ non-GAAP diluted EPS growth and returning over 80% of adjusted free cash flow to shareholders via share repurchases and dividends.
• Dell is capitalizing on the unprecedented pace of change in technology, especially in AI, and is well positioned with a leading portfolio from data center infrastructure to PCs.
• Dell's engineering, deployment, services, ecosystem, and financing capabilities position it as the AI infrastructure solutions leader.
• Dell's competitive advantages and operating model strengthen with AI, offering leading end-to-end solutions, the industry's largest go-to-market engine, industry-leading supply chain, and unmatched global services.

"Customers are hungry for AI and the compute, storage and networking we provide to deploy intelligence at scale. We're successfully translating that demand into growth and strong cash flow that we've largely returned to shareholders," said Michael Dell, chairman and chief executive officer, Dell Technologies. "As AI continues to expand into businesses and governments around the world, the opportunity ahead is massive."

"We will continue to execute the unique operating model we've strengthened over the past four decades," says Jeff Clarke, vice chairman and chief operating officer, Dell Technologies. "We're actively driving the changes that are shaping the future of AI infrastructure as evidenced by growing AI into a $20 billion business in two years."

"We've returned $14.5 billion to shareholders since our dividend program began in FY23," said David Kennedy, interim chief financial officer, Dell Technologies. "Over the past five years, we've roughly doubled EPS. With our increased EPS target, we expect to double EPS again."
