Felice称,第四财政季度,戴尔日本及亚太区收入较上年同期下降12%。 该公司第四财季净利润较上年同期下降48%,受全球销量下降以及经济滑坡继续拖累信息技术支出影响。

戴尔公司的总部设在德克萨斯州奥斯汀(Austin)的戴尔公司是全球领先的IT产品及服务提供商。

Punished by plummeting sales of personal computers, Dell presented investors on Thursday with its lowest fourth-quarter profit since 2002.

Dell, based in Round Rock, Texas, reported net income of $351 million, or 18 cents a share, down 48 percent from the $679 million, or 31 cents a share, reported in the same period last year.

Excluding one-time expenses, Dell said it earned 29 cents a share, beating the 26 cents a share that Wall Street analysts had expected on that basis, according to Thomson Reuters.

Dell's revenue in the quarter, which ended Jan. 30, tumbled to $13.4 billion — a 16 percent drop from the $16 billion reported last year and also its lowest total since 2005.

Analysts had predicted Dell would report sales of $14.2 billion. "Within our business, we're being very disciplined in managing costs, generating profitability and cash flow, and investing in ways that separate Dell from others today and when the economy inevitably improves," said Michael Dell, the company's founder and chief executive, in a statement.

During the recession, executives at Dell have promoted a strategy of trying to keep profits high at the expense of missing some sales.

Dell has also continued with an aggressive cost-cutting program that began when Dell returned as chief executive in 2007 to help revive the company he founded. The company said Thursday that it would seek to shave an additional $1 billion a year from the company's costs by 2011.
