VMware reported solid fourth quarter results, as it maintained focus and became part of Dell Technologies.

The company reported fourth quarter earnings of $441 million, or $1.04 a share, on revenue of $2.03 billion, up 9 percent from a year ago. Non-GAAP earnings were $1.43 a share.

Wall Street was expecting VMware to report fourth quarter earnings of $1.39 a share on $1.99 billion in revenue.

For 2016, VMware reported earnings of $1.19 billion, or $2.78 a share, on revenue of $7.09 billion.

CEO Pat Gelsinger said VMware's fourth quarter was "one of the most balanced quarters for VMware in years."
