New corporate highs were achieved for a full fiscal year with revenue of $62.1 billion, earnings per share of $1.88 (GAAP) and $2.13 (Non-GAAP), and revenue from enterprise solutions and services of $18.6 billion.
“Our customers think of Dell in much broader terms now, trusting us with their comprehensive IT needs, from the datacenter to the device,” said Michael Dell, chairman and CEO. “We are more committed than ever to both developing and investing in innovative solutions that deliver greater value and better outcomes for our customers.”
“The expanding mix of revenue and earnings from enterprise solutions and services is critical to our future,” said Brian Gladden, Dell chief financial officer. “Our full-year results are a strong reflection of the significant progress we made this year on our strategic priorities.”
The company will continue to prioritise operating income and cash flow. For fiscal 2013, the company expects non-GAAP earnings per share to exceed the record $2.13 it delivered in fiscal 2012 and expects to continue strong execution, with cash flow from operations exceeding net income.
