Summary

While the 8-K itself does not contain the detailed financial figures, it directs investors to a press release (Exhibit 99.1) for this information. This filing serves as a notification of the release of these important performance metrics. Investors should refer to the furnished press release for specific details on Dell's operational performance, financial condition, revenue, profitability, and any forward-looking statements.
