Industry giant Dell-EMC has reported fourth quarter revenue of $20.1bn, with full-year revenue of $61.6bn. In a complex year that included the industry's largest merger, it reported an operating loss of $3.3bn, with a non-GAAP operating income of $5.1bn.
Prior-year historical Dell Technologies financials do not include EMC historical results, thereby impacting any year-over-year comparisons.

"In our fiscal year 2018, we'll drive that momentum forward, beginning with our new sales go-to-market capabilities, and continue to target identified revenue and cost synergies while investing in our broad portfolio of solutions."
The company ended the year with a cash and investments balance of $15.3bn, an increase of $287m from the third quarter.
