The figures represent shipments into distribution channels or direct to end-users. They do not track sales out of indirect distribution channels.
As such, the figures measure factory shipments, but may understate final customer sales by Compaq-Digital, Hewlett-Packard and Packard Bell NEC, which ship large amounts of their inventory through indirect distribution channels.
Shipments are company-branded shipments and exclude Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) sales by the companies.
