Dell Inc. has cut 10,000 jobs during the past fiscal year from its global footprint, according to a regulatory filing. Company officials declined to provide many details on the layoffs.
The Round Rock company revealed the job cuts deep in a 331-page regulatory filing completed Monday by Denali Holding Inc., Dell's ownership holding company, that reported on its financial performance.
“At the end of fiscal 2015, Dell had approximately 98,300 total full-time employees, compared to approximately 108,300 total full-time employees at the end of fiscal 2014,” according to the filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Dell's fiscal year mentioned in the filing ended Jan. 31.
Denali reported in the filing that 36 percent of Dell’s full-time workers were in the United States with the remainder in other international markets at the end of fiscal 2015.
Dell spokesman David Frink said Thursday the job cuts were done to streamline operations and improve the company’s efficiency.
“We’ve made a number of tough decisions, including workforce reductions,” he said. “As I’ve said on previous occasions, to protect the privacy of affected team members, we don’t comment on the number of reductions, or specifics within individual Dell businesses or sites.”
Dell, the No. 3 computer maker in the world, employs 13,000 workers in Central Texas, down from 14,000 last year.
Back in February 2013, during the early stages of the buyout process that saw the company taken private by CEO Michael Dell and Silver Lake Partners, company officials indicated that they were not planning to cut any jobs after taking Dell private.
“We do not anticipate job eliminations as a result of the proposed transaction,” the company said in an SEC filing at the time. “Rather, the proposed transaction will enable us to accelerate our long-term growth plan and transformation, and maintain our focus on helping customers achieve their goals.”
Monday's regulatory filing is the first public disclosure of Dell’s financial performance since it was taken private in October 2013. It’s likely the company reported financials in preparation for its proposed $67 billion acquisition of EMC Corp. (NYSE: EMC) that is expected to close in 2016.
