(c)	Amortization of intangibles includes non-cash purchase accounting adjustments that are primarily related to the EMC merger transaction completed in September 2016.
(d)	Stock-based compensation expense consists of equity awards granted based on the estimated fair value of those awards at grant date.
(e)	Other corporate expenses includes severance expenses, payroll taxes associated with stock-based compensation, incentive charges related to equity investments, transaction-related expenses, and impairment charges.
(f)	Income and expenses within Interest and other, net, is not allocated to the reportable segments. Therefore, the company only reports reportable segment operating income.
