_________________
(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.

(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.
