1 Due to the EMC transaction and to a lesser extent the Dell going-private transaction, significant non-cash bridging items will remain between GAAP and non-GAAP results for the next few years. As a result of the EMC merger transaction completed on September 7, 2016 and its impact on the third quarter and first nine months of Fiscal 2018, our results for the fiscal periods discussed herein are not directly comparable.

    (a) Other businesses consist of RSA Information Security, SecureWorks, Pivotal, and Boomi, and do not constitute a reportable segment, either individually or collectively, as the results of the businesses are not material to the Company's overall results and the businesses do not meet the criteria for reportable segments.

    (b) Unallocated transactions includes long-term incentives, certain short-term incentive compensation expenses, and other corporate items that are not allocated to Dell Technologies' reportable segments.

    (c) Impact of purchase accounting includes non-cash purchase accounting adjustments that are primarily related to the EMC merger transaction.

    (d) Transaction-related expenses includes acquisition, integration, and divestiture related costs.

    (e) Other corporate expenses includes severance and facility action costs as well as stock-based compensation expense.

SUPPLEMENTAL SELECTED NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
These tables present information about the Company's non-GAAP net revenue, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income from continuing operations, EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures provided as a supplement to the results provided in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). A detailed discussion of Dell Technologies' reasons for including these non-GAAP financial measures, the limitations associated with these measures, the items excluded from these measures, and our reason for excluding those items are presented in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in our periodic reports filed with the SEC. Dell Technologies encourages investors to review the non-GAAP discussion in conjunction with the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures.
