Joe Tucci, EMC Chairman and CEO, said, “The fourth quarter of 2015 follows 24 consecutive quarters of reported year-over-year top-line growth; an accomplishment very few of our peers have matched. 2015 brought geopolitical and other market-wide uncertainties, while secular technology trends continued to accelerate. EMC anticipated and focused on capturing the massive growth opportunity these trends will avail, and we are well equipped in 2016 with some of the most exciting technology advancements in our history.”

I’m pleased to report that progress on closing the transaction remains on track under the original terms and timeline.”

Zane Rowe, EMC CFO, said, “As we work toward closing the transaction with Dell to build one of the world’s premier IT powerhouses, we continue to focus on synergies and operating efficiencies across our business. Our previously announced $850 million cost reduction and business transformation plan is on track and the initial $50 million cost reduction target was met in Q4. We are confident that we will exceed our goal, thanks to our unified team’s effort and focus.”
