GAAP net income, and GAAP and non-GAAP EPS

HOPKINTON, Mass. – July 24, 2012 – EMC Corporation (NYSE:EMC) today reported strong financial results for the second quarter of 2012, marking the company’s 10^th consecutive quarter of double-digit year-over-year growth for consolidated revenue, GAAP net income, and GAAP and non-GAAP EPS. EMC expects to achieve its full-year 2012 goals for consolidated revenue, non-GAAP EPS and free cash flow.

Second-quarter consolidated revenue was $5.31 billion, an increase of 10% compared with the year-ago quarter. Second-quarter GAAP net income attributable to EMC increased 19% year over year to $650 million. Second-quarter GAAP earnings per weighted average diluted share increased 21% year over year to $0.29. Second-quarter non-GAAP¹ earnings per weighted average diluted share were $0.39, an increase of 11% year over year.

During the second quarter, EMC generated operating cash flow of $1.24 billion and free cash flow² of $958 million, a year-over-year increase of 16% and 36%, respectively. Additionally, the company expanded GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin and operating margin percentages on a year-over-year basis, and ended the quarter with $10.9 billion in cash and investments.

Joe Tucci, EMC Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “I am very pleased with EMC’s execution and record second-quarter financial performance. We are seeing a transformation in the IT industry unlike anything we have seen before. Organizations are moving quickly to adopt cloud computing and take advantage of both the efficiency and agility that comes with running IT-as-a-Service. Customers are also looking to deploy a new generation of Big Data applications to gain competitive advantage and differentiate their businesses. And they demand that all this be done in a secure and trusted way. EMC is widely recognized as a leader and driver of this transformation.”

David Goulden, EMC President and Chief Operating Officer, said, “The business we have built is at the intersection of three of the most transformative waves in the history of IT – cloud computing, Big Data and trust. We have grown EMC profitably, expanded our portfolio of products and services into new markets, and established our reputation for quality and providing customers with the very best total experience in the industry. Looking ahead, we remain on track to deliver our ‘triple play’ – simultaneously taking market share, reinvesting for growth and delivering improved earnings – and are well positioned for our next major phase of growth.”

Second-Quarter Highlights

In the second quarter, revenue from EMC’s Information Storage business increased 7% year over year. Within this, revenue from EMC’s networked storage platforms portfolio³, which includes EMC’s high-end and mid-tier storage platform products, grew 7% year over year. Revenue from EMC’s high-end Symmetrix storage product portfolio increased 3% compared with the year-ago quarter, and revenue from the company’s portfolio of mid-tier storage products⁴ increased 10% year over year, the result of year-over-year growth across EMC’s major mid-tier product lines.

Second-quarter highlights included continued customer demand for EMC’s Isilon scale-out NAS portfolio, VNX unified storage family, Backup Recovery Systems (BRS) portfolio, and VMAX systems family.

Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains “forward-looking statements” as defined under the Federal Securities Laws. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain risk factors, including but not limited to: (i) adverse changes in general economic or market conditions; (ii) delays or reductions in information technology spending; (iii) the relative and varying rates of product price and component cost declines and the volume and mixture of product and services revenues; (iv) competitive factors, including but not limited to pricing pressures and new product introductions; (v) component and product quality and availability; (vi) fluctuations in VMware, Inc.’s operating results and risks associated with trading of VMware stock; (vii) the transition to new products, the uncertainty of customer acceptance of new product offerings and rapid technological and market change; (viii) risks associated with managing the growth of our business, including risks associated with acquisitions and investments and the challenges and costs of integration, restructuring and achieving anticipated synergies; (ix) the ability to attract and retain highly qualified employees; (x) insufficient, excess or obsolete inventory; (xi) fluctuating currency exchange rates; (xii) threats and other disruptions to our secure data centers or networks; (xiii) our ability to protect our proprietary technology; (xiv) war or acts of terrorism; and (xv) other one-time events and other important factors disclosed previously and from time to time in EMC’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release, the accompanying schedules and the additional content that is available on EMC’s website contain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures, which are used as measures of EMC’s performance or liquidity, should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, measures of EMC’s financial performance or liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP. EMC’s non-GAAP financial measures may be defined differently from time to time and may be defined differently than similar terms used by other companies, and accordingly, care should be exercised in understanding how EMC defines its non-GAAP financial measures in this release.

Where specified in the accompanying schedules for various periods entitled “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP,” certain items noted on each such specific schedule (including, where noted, amounts relating to stock-based compensation expense, intangible asset amortization, restructuring and acquisition-related charges, the amortization of VMware’s capitalized software from prior periods, a RSA special charge (release), a gain on strategic investment and a loss on interest rate swaps) are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures.

EMC’s management uses the non-GAAP financial measures in the accompanying schedules to gain an understanding of EMC’s comparative operating performance (when comparing such results with previous periods or forecasts) and future prospects and excludes the above-listed items from its internal financial statements for purposes of its internal budgets and each reporting segment’s financial goals. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by EMC’s management in their financial and operating decision-making because management believes they reflect EMC’s ongoing business in a manner that allows meaningful period-to-period comparisons. EMC’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others (a) in understanding and evaluating EMC’s current operating performance and future prospects in the same manner as management does, if they so choose, and (b) in comparing in a consistent manner the Company’s current financial results with the Company’s past financial results.

This release also includes disclosures regarding free cash flow which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less additions to property, plant and equipment and capitalized software development costs. EMC uses free cash flow, among other measures, to evaluate the ability of its operations to generate cash that is available for purposes other than capital expenditures and capitalized software development costs. Management believes that information regarding free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available to make strategic acquisitions and investments, repurchase shares, service debt and fund ongoing operations. As free cash flow is not a measure of liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP, free cash flow should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the analysis provided in the statement of cash flows.

All of the foregoing non-GAAP financial measures have limitations. Specifically, the non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the items noted above do not include all items of income and expense that affect EMC’s operations. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and do not reflect any benefit that such items may confer on EMC. Management compensates for these limitations by also considering EMC’s financial results as determined in accordance with GAAP.
