COVID-19, or other public health crises; the execution and
performance of contracts by HP and its suppliers, customers,
clients and partners, including logistical challenges with respect
to such execution and performance; changes in estimates and
assumptions HP makes in connection with the preparation of its
financial statements; the need to manage (and reliance on)
third-party suppliers, including with respect to supply constraints

programs by HP’s channel partners, adapt to new or changing
marketplaces and effectively deliver HP’s services; HP’s ability to

respond to emerging technological trends, including artificial
intelligence; successfully competing and maintaining the value
proposition of HP’s products, including supplies and services;
challenges to HP’s ability to accurately forecast inventories,
demand and pricing, which may be due to HP’s multi-tiered channel,
sales of HP’s products to unauthorized resellers or unauthorized
resale of HP’s products or our uneven sales cycle; integration and
other risks associated with business combination and investment
transactions; the results of our restructuring plans (including the
fiscal 2023 plan), including estimates and assumptions related to

environmental, social and governance matters; potential impacts,
liabilities and costs from pending or potential investigations,
claims and disputes; our use of artificial intelligence; the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting; and
other risks that are described in HP’s Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023 and HP’s other filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). HP’s fiscal
2023 plan includes HP's efforts to take advantage of future growth
opportunities, including but not limited to, investments to drive
growth, investments in our people, improving product mix, driving
structural cost savings and other productivity measures. Structural
cost savings represent gross reductions in costs driven by
operational efficiency, digital transformation, and portfolio
optimization. These initiatives include but are not limited to
workforce reductions, platform simplification, programs
consolidation and productivity measures undertaken by HP, which HP
expects to be sustainable in the longer-term. These structural cost
savings are net of any new recurring costs resulting from these
initiatives and exclude one-time investments to generate such
savings. HP’s expectations on the longer-term sustainability of
such structural cost savings are based on its current business
operations and market dynamics and could be significantly impacted
by various factors, including but not limited to HP’s evolving
business models, future investment decisions, market environment
and technology landscape.
As in prior periods, the financial information set forth in this
document, including any tax-related items, reflects estimates based
on information available at this time. While HP believes these
estimates to be reasonable, these amounts could differ materially
from reported amounts in HP’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ending October 31, 2024, and HP’s other filings with
the SEC. The forward-looking statements in this document are made
as of the date of this document and HP assumes no obligation and

(a) Effective at the beginning of its first
quarter of fiscal 2024, HP realigned its business unit financial
reporting more closely with its customer market segmentation. The
realignment resulted in the transfer of LaserJet printers net
revenues from Consumer Printing to Commercial Printing. HP
reflected this change to its business unit information in prior
reporting periods on an as-if basis which resulted in the
reclassification of net revenues from Consumer Printing to
Commercial Printing. The reporting change had no impact to
previously reported segment net revenue, consolidated net revenue,
earnings from operations, net earnings or net earnings per
share.

(a) Effective at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal
2024, HP realigned its business unit financial reporting more
closely with its customer market segmentation. The realignment
resulted in the transfer of LaserJet printers net revenues from
Consumer Printing to Commercial Printing. HP reflected this change
to its business unit information in prior reporting periods on an
as-if basis which resulted in the reclassification of net revenues
from Consumer Printing to Commercial Printing. The reporting change
had no impact to previously reported segment net revenue,
consolidated net revenue, earnings from operations, net earnings or
net earnings per share.

Use of non-GAAP financial measuresTo supplement
HP’s consolidated condensed financial statements presented on a
GAAP basis, HP provides net revenue on a constant currency basis,
non-GAAP total operating expense, non-GAAP operating profit,
non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP other income and expenses,
non-GAAP tax rate, non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted net EPS,
free cash flow, gross cash and net cash (debt). HP also provides
forecasts of non-GAAP diluted net EPS and free cash flow.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not computed in accordance
with, or as an alternative to, GAAP in the United States.
Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most
directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the
tables above or elsewhere in the materials accompanying this news
release.
Use and economic substance of non-GAAP financial
measuresNet revenue on a constant currency basis excludes
the effect of foreign currency exchange fluctuations calculated by
translating current period revenues using monthly exchange rates
from the comparative period and excluding any hedging impact
recognized in the current period. Non-GAAP operating margin is
defined to exclude the effects of any amounts relating to
restructuring and other charges, acquisition and divestiture
charges, amortization of intangible assets. Non-GAAP net earnings
and non-GAAP diluted net EPS consist of net earnings or diluted net
EPS excluding those same charges, non-operating retirement related
(credits)/charges, debt extinguishment costs (benefit), tax
adjustments and the amount of additional taxes or tax benefits
associated with each non-GAAP item.
HP’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for
purposes of evaluating HP’s historical and prospective financial
performance, as well as HP’s performance relative to its
competitors. HP’s management also uses these non-GAAP measures to
further its own understanding of HP’s segment operating
performance. HP believes that excluding the items mentioned above
for these non-GAAP financial measures allows HP’s management to
better understand HP’s consolidated financial performance in
relation to the operating results of HP’s segments, as HP’s
management does not believe that the excluded items are reflective
of ongoing operating results. More specifically, HP’s management
excludes each of those items mentioned above for the following
reasons:
- Restructuring and other charges are (i) costs associated with a
formal restructuring plan and are primarily related to employee
separation from service and early retirement costs and related
benefits, costs of real estate consolidation and other non-labor
charges; and (ii) other charges, which includes non-recurring costs
including those as a result of information technology
rationalization efforts and transformation program management and
are distinct from ongoing operational costs. HP excludes these
restructuring and other charges (and any reversals of charges
recorded in prior periods) for purposes of calculating these
non-GAAP measures because HP believes that these costs do not
reflect expected future operating expenses and do not contribute to
a meaningful evaluation of HP's current operating performance or
comparisons to operating performance in other periods.
- HP incurs cost related to its acquisitions and divestitures,
which it would not have otherwise incurred as part of its
operations. The charges are direct expenses such as third-party
professional and legal fees, integration and divestiture-related
costs, as well as non-cash adjustments to the fair value of certain
acquired assets such as inventory and certain compensation charges
related to cash settlement of restricted stock units and
performance-based restricted stock units towards acquisitions.
These charges related to acquisitions and divestitures are
inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted
by the timing and nature of HP's acquisitions or divestitures. HP
believes that eliminating such expenses for purposes of calculating
these non-GAAP measures facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of
HP’s current operating performance and comparisons to operating
performance in other periods.
- HP incurs charges relating to the amortization of intangible
assets. Those charges are included in HP’s GAAP earnings, operating
margin, net earnings and diluted net EPS. Such charges are
significantly impacted by the timing and magnitude of HP’s
acquisitions and any related impairment charges. Consequently, HP
excludes these charges for purposes of calculating these non-GAAP
measures to facilitate a more meaningful evaluation of HP’s current
operating performance and comparisons to operating performance in
other periods.
- HP incurs debt extinguishment (benefit)/costs includes certain
(gain)/loss related to repurchase of certain of its outstanding
U.S. dollar global notes or termination of commitments under
revolving credit facilities. These (gain)/loss resulting from debt
redemption transactions are partially or more than offset by costs
such as bond repurchase premiums, bank fees, unpaid accrued
interests, etc. HP excludes these (benefit)/costs for the purposes
of calculating these non-GAAP measures to facilitate a more
meaningful evaluation of HP's current operating performance and
comparisons to operating performance in other periods.
- Non-operating retirement-related (credits)/charges includes
certain market-related factors such as interest cost, expected
return on plan assets, amortized actuarial gains or losses,
associated with HP’s defined benefit pension and post-retirement
benefit plans. The market-driven retirement-related adjustments are
primarily due to the changes in the value of pension plan assets
and liabilities which are tied to financial market performance and
HP considers these adjustments to be outside the operational
performance of the business. Non-operating retirement-related
(credits)/charges also include certain plan curtailments,
settlements and special termination benefits related to HP’s
defined benefit pension and post-retirement benefit plans. HP
believes that eliminating such adjustments for purposes of
calculating non-GAAP measures facilitates a more meaningful
evaluation of HP's current operating performance and comparisons to
operating performance in other periods.
- HP recorded tax adjustments including tax expenses and benefits
from internal reorganizations, realizability of certain deferred
tax assets, various tax rate and regulatory changes, and tax
settlements across various jurisdictions. HP excludes these
adjustments for the purposes of calculating these non-GAAP measures
to facilitate a more meaningful evaluation of HP's current
operating performance and comparisons to operating performance in
other periods.
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure that is defined as cash
flow provided by (used in) operating activities adjusted for net
investment in leases from integrated financing and net investments
in property, plant, and equipment. Gross cash is a non-GAAP measure
that is defined as cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash plus
short-term investments and certain long-term investments that may
be liquidated within 90 days pursuant to the terms of existing put
options or similar rights. HP’s management uses free cash flow and
gross cash for the purpose of determining the amount of cash
available for investment in HP’s businesses, repurchasing stock and
other purposes. HP’s management also uses free cash flow and gross
cash to evaluate HP’s historical and prospective liquidity. Because
gross cash includes liquid assets that are not included in cash,
cash equivalents and restricted cash, HP believes that gross cash
provides a helpful assessment of HP’s liquidity. Because free cash
flow includes net cash provided by (used in) operating activities
adjusted for net investment in leases from integrated financing and
net investments in property, plant and equipment. HP believes that
free cash flow provides a more accurate and complete assessment of
HP’s liquidity and capital resources. Net cash (debt) is defined as
gross cash less gross debt after adjusting the effect of
unamortized premium/discount on debt issuance, debt issuance costs
and gains/losses on interest rate swaps.

HP’s core business with accretive margins in the longer term. HP’s

Material limitations associated with use of non-GAAP
financial measuresThese non-GAAP financial measures may
have limitations as analytical tools, and these measures should not
be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of HP’s
results as reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations in relying
on these non-GAAP financial measures are:
- Items such as amortization of intangible assets, though not
directly affecting HP’s cash position, represent the loss in value
of intangible assets over time. The expense associated with this
change in value is not included in non-GAAP operating margin,
non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted net EPS, and therefore
does not reflect the full economic effect of the change in value of
those intangible assets.
- Items such as restructuring and other charges, acquisition and
divestiture charges, amortization of intangible assets are excluded
from non-GAAP operating margin. In addition, non-operating
retirement-related (credits)/charges, debt extinguishment costs
(benefit) and tax adjustments are excluded from non-GAAP other
income and expenses, non-GAAP tax rate, non-GAAP net earnings and
non-GAAP diluted net EPS. These items can have a material impact on
the equivalent GAAP earnings measure and cash flows.
- HP may not be able to immediately liquidate the short-term and
certain long-term investments included in gross cash, which may
limit the usefulness of gross cash as a liquidity measure.
Other companies may calculate the non-GAAP financial measures
differently than HP, limiting the usefulness of those measures for
comparative purposes.
Compensation for limitations associated with use of
non-GAAP financial measuresHP accounts for the limitations
on its use of non-GAAP financial measures by relying primarily on
its GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures only
supplementally. HP also provides reconciliations of each non-GAAP
financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP measure
within this news release and in other written materials that
include these non-GAAP financial measures, and HP encourages
investors to review those reconciliations carefully.
Usefulness of non-GAAP financial measures to
investorsHP believes that providing net revenue on a
constant currency basis, non-GAAP total operating expense, non-GAAP
operating profit, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP other income
and expenses, non-GAAP tax rate, non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP
diluted net EPS, free cash flow, gross cash and net cash (debt) to
investors in addition to the related GAAP financial measures
provides investors with greater insight to the information used by
HP’s management in its financial and operational decision making
and allows investors to see HP’s results “through the eyes” of
management. HP further believes that providing this information
better enables HP’s investors to understand HP’s operating
performance and financial condition and to evaluate the efficacy of
the methodology and information used by HP’s management to evaluate
and measure such performance and financial condition. Disclosure of
these non-GAAP financial measures also facilitates comparisons of
HP’s operating performance with the performance of other companies
in HP’s industry that supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP
financial measures that may be calculated in a similar manner.
