Dell released its fiscal 3Q17 results, with consolidated revenue from continuing operations at $16.2bn and non GAAP revenue from continuing operations at $16.8bn. The results reflect the impact of Dell’s merger with IT storage solutions provider EMC, and include 52 days of results from EMC and associated purchase VMware.

Dell’s chief financial officer Tom Sweet made the following comments:
“Overall we had a solid quarter with revenue of $16.2 billion, or $16.8 billion on a non-GAAP basis. […] We remain intensely focused on enabling customers’ digital transformation initiatives. This customer first focus is also driving our near term priorities, which include successfully integrating our salesforce and channel partner programs and seizing top line synergies through cross selling opportunities.”
Further, global ratings agency Standard and Poor’s (S&P) commented:
“[The results] were in line with our expectations and do not affect our ratings on the company”.
