Full story

Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL) announces financial results for its fiscal 2024 second quarter. Revenue was $22.9 billion, down 13% year-over-year and up 10% sequentially. The company generated operating income of $1.2 billion and non-GAAP operating income of $2 billion, down 8% and up 1% year-over-year, respectively. Diluted earnings per share was $0.63, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $1.74, down 7% and up 4% year-over-year, respectively. Cash flow from operations for the second quarter was $3.2 billion, driven by working capital improvements, sequential growth and profitability. The company has generated $8.1 billion of cash flow from operations throughout the last 12 months.

Dell ended the quarter with remaining performance obligations of $39 billion, recurring revenue of $5.6 billion, up 8% year-over-year, and deferred revenue of $30.3 billion, up 8% year-over-year, primarily due to increases in service and software maintenance agreements. Cash and investments were $9.9 billion, and the company returned $525 million to shareholders in the second quarter through share repurchases and dividends.

“Our Q2 performance underscores the power of our model to generate cash in a sequential growth environment,” said Yvonne McGill, chief financial officer, Dell Technologies. “Revenue grew 10% sequentially to $22.9 billion, with strong cash flow from operations of $3.2 billion in Q2 and $8.1 billion over the last 12 months. We continue to deliver value to shareholders and have flexibility to increase our return of capital going forward.”

And AI is already showing it’s a long-term tailwind, with continued demand growth across our portfolio.”
