Dell showed its unique ability to both grow rapidly in key markets and achieve strong profitability again in the company's fiscal second-quarter 2005, which ended July 30.

Dell revenue was $11.7 billion, a company record and 20 percent higher than in the same quarter a year ago. Sales in Europe, the Middle East and Africa and in Asia-Pacific and Japan rose 30 and 29 percent, respectively. Combined revenue for enterprise systems, including servers and storage systems, accounted for 22 percent of overall sales, matching a company high.

Earnings per share were 31 cents, 29 percent higher and also a Dell record. Results were consistent with revised company guidance in mid-July, which included an increase in earnings expectations.
