 (a) Effective at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal 2016, HP     
     implemented a reporting change to provide better transparency to its   
     segment operating results. This reporting change resulted in the       
     exclusion of certain market-related factors such as interest cost,     
     expected return on plan assets, amortized actuarial gains or losses,   
     and impacts from other market-related factors related to its defined   
     benefit pension and post-retirement benefit plans from its segment     
     operating results ("Non-operating retirement-related                   
     credits/(charges)"). This change also resulted in the exclusion of     
     certain plan curtailments, settlements and special termination benefits
     related to its defined benefit pension and post-retirement benefit     
     plans from HP's segment operating results. Segment operating results   
     will continue to include service costs and amortization of prior       
     service costs associated with HP's defined benefit pension and post-   
     retirement benefit plans. The reporting change had an immaterial impact
     to previously reported segment net revenue and earnings from           
     operations. This change had no impact on HP's previously reported      
     consolidated net revenue, earnings from operations, net earnings or net

(a)  Effective at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal 2016, HP     
     implemented a reporting change to provide better transparency to its   
     segment operating results. This reporting change resulted in the       
     exclusion of certain market-related factors such as interest cost,     
     expected return on plan assets, amortized actuarial gains or losses,   
     and impacts from other market-related factors related to its defined   
     benefit pension and post-retirement benefit plans from its segment     
     operating results ("Non-operating retirement-related                   
     credits/(charges)"). This change also resulted in the exclusion of     
     certain plan curtailments, settlements and special termination benefits
     related to its defined benefit pension and post-retirement benefit     
     plans from HP's segment operating results. Segment operating results   
     will continue to include service costs and amortization of prior       
     service costs associated with HP's defined benefit pension and post-   
     retirement benefit plans. The reporting change had an immaterial impact
     to previously reported segment net revenue and earnings from           
     operations. This change had no impact on HP's previously reported      
     consolidated net revenue, earnings from operations, net earnings or net
     earnings per share.

Use of non-GAAP financial measures
To supplement HP's consolidated condensed financial statements presented on a generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") basis, HP provides net revenue on a constant currency basis, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share, free cash flow and gross cash. HP also provides forecasts of non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not computed in accordance with, or as an alternative to, generally accepted accounting principles 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 measures
Net revenue on a constant currency basis assumes no change in the foreign exchange rate from the prior-year period. Non-GAAP operating margin is defined to exclude the effects of any amounts relating to restructuring and other charges, the amortization of intangible assets, non-operating retirement-related charges/(credits) and net tax indemnification amounts. Non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share consist of net earnings from continuing operations or diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations excluding those same charges. In addition, non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share are adjusted by the amount of additional taxes or tax benefits associated with each non-GAAP item and other tax benefits or charges as a consequence of the Separation. 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 from 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:

Gross cash is a non-GAAP measure that is defined as cash and cash equivalents 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. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for investments in property, plant and equipment and proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment. HP's management uses gross cash and free cash flow 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 gross cash and free cash flow to evaluate HP's historical and prospective liquidity. Because gross cash includes liquid assets that are not included in GAAP cash and cash equivalents, HP believes that gross cash provides a helpful assessment of HP's liquidity. Because free cash flow includes the effect of investments in property, plant and equipment and proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment that are not reflected in GAAP net cash provided by operating activities, HP believes that free cash flow provides a more accurate and complete assessment of HP's liquidity and capital resources.

Material limitations associated with use of non-GAAP financial measures
These 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:

Compensation for limitations associated with use of non-GAAP financial measures
HP compensates 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 robust and detailed 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 investors
HP believes that providing net revenue on a constant currency basis, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share, free cash flow and gross cash to investors in addition to the related GAAP measures provides investors with greater transparency 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.
