HIGHLIGHT DELL'S FISCAL FOURTH QUARTER
Revenue Up 17 Percent, Earnings Exceed Company Guidance
ROUND ROCK, Texas, Feb. 10, 2005 - Strong growth throughout Dell's
diversified range of products and services in the fiscal
fourth-quarter 2005 led to the company's best ever operating period.
The company achieved quarterly records for revenue, unit shipments,
operating income and cash flow from operations.
Sales increased 22 percent in Europe, the Middle East and Africa,
and 21 percent in Asia-Pacific and Japan. Worldwide revenue growth
from servers and storage systems accelerated from the last quarter,
increasing 20 percent year-over-year. In the United States, sales to
business customers grew 19 percent year-over-year.
Revenue for the quarter ended Jan. 28 was $13.5 billion, up 17
percent from a year ago. Pro-forma fourth-quarter net earnings were
37 cents per share, 28 percent higher than last year. That exceeded
Dell's guidance by one cent, as continued strong profit growth in
markets outside the United States reduced the company's operating tax
rate.
Dell's fourth-quarter reported earnings were $667 million, or 26
cents per share, which included a tax charge of 11 cents per share.
The charge was taken in anticipation of repatriating foreign earnings
at a one-time favorable tax rate under the U.S. American Jobs
Creation Act (AJCA).
Full-year pro-forma earnings were $1.29 per share, up 28 percent;
fiscal-2005 reported earnings, including the AJCA-related charge,
were $1.18 per share. Full-year revenue was $49.2 billion, up 19
percent.
In the fourth quarter, Dell's operating margins improved to 8.8
percent, up from 8.5 percent a year ago. The company generated $1.8
billion in cash flow from operations, and total cash and investments
at quarter-end was $14.1 billion, a company record.
