HP today announced financial results for its fiscal 2014 third quarter ended July 31, 2014.

Third quarter net revenue of $27.6 billion was up 1% from the prior-year period and up 1% on a constant currency basis.

Third quarter GAAP diluted net earnings per share (EPS) was $0.52, down from $0.71 in the prior-year period and below its previously provided outlook of $0.59 to $0.63. Third quarter non-GAAP diluted net EPS was $0.89, up from $0.86 in the prior-year period and within its previously provided outlook of $0.86 to $0.90. Third quarter non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted net EPS exclude after-tax costs of $713 million and $0.37 per diluted share, respectively, related to restructuring charges, the amortization of intangible assets and acquisition-related charges.

"Overall, I'm very pleased with the progress we've made," said Meg Whitman, chairman, president and chief executive officer, HP. "When I look at the way the business is performing, the pipeline of innovation and the daily feedback that I receive from our customers and partners, my confidence in the turnaround grows stronger."

Outlook
For the fiscal 2014 fourth quarter, HP estimates non-GAAP diluted net EPS to be in the range of $1.03 to $1.07 and GAAP diluted net EPS to be in the range of $0.83 to $0.87. Fiscal 2014 fourth quarter non-GAAP diluted net EPS estimates exclude after-tax costs of approximately $0.20 per share, related primarily to restructuring charges and the amortization of intangible assets.

For fiscal 2014, HP estimates non-GAAP diluted net EPS to be in the range of $3.70 to $3.74 and GAAP diluted net EPS to be in the range of $2.75 to $2.79. Fiscal 2014 non-GAAP diluted net EPS estimates exclude after-tax costs of approximately $0.95 per share, related primarily to restructuring charges and the amortization of intangible assets.

(a) Effective at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal 2014, HP      
    implemented certain organizational changes to align its segment         
    financial reporting more closely with its current business structure.   
    These organizational changes include (i) transferring the HP Exstream   
    business from the Commercial Hardware business unit within the Printing 
    segment to the Software segment; (ii) transferring the Personal Systems 
    trade and warranty support business from the Technology Services        
    business unit within the Enterprise Group segment to the Other business 
    unit within the Personal Systems segment; (iii) transferring the spare  
    and replacement parts business supporting the Personal Systems and      
    Printing segments from the Technology Services business unit within the 
    Enterprise Group segment to the Other business unit within the Personal 
    Systems segment and the Commercial Hardware business unit within the    
    Printing segment, respectively; and (iv) transferring certain cloud-    
    related incubation activities previously reported in Corporate and      
    unallocated costs and eliminations and in the Enterprise Group segment  
    to the Corporate Investments segment. In addition, HP transferred       
    certain intrasegment eliminations from the Enterprise Services segment  
    and the Enterprise Group segment to corporate intersegment revenue      
    eliminations.                                                           
                                                                            
    HP reflected these changes to its segment information in prior reporting
    periods on an as-if basis, which resulted in the transfer of revenue    
    among the Personal Systems, Printing, the Enterprise Group, Enterprise  
    Services and Software segments. These changes also resulted in the      
    transfer of operating profit among the Personal Systems, Printing, the  
    Enterprise Group, Software and Corporate Investments segments. These    
    changes had no impact on HP's previously reported consolidated net      
    revenue, earnings from operations, net earnings or net earnings per     
    share.

    financial reporting more closely with its current business structure.   
    These organizational changes include (i) transferring the HP Exstream   
    business from the Commercial Hardware business unit within the Printing 
    segment to the Software segment; (ii) transferring the Personal Systems 
    trade and warranty support business from the Technology Services        
    business unit within the Enterprise Group segment to the Other business 
    unit within the Personal Systems segment; (iii) transferring the spare  
    and replacement parts business supporting the Personal Systems and      
    Printing segments from the Technology Services business unit within the 
    Enterprise Group segment to the Other business unit within the Personal 
    Systems segment and the Commercial Hardware business unit within the    
    Printing segment, respectively; and (iv) transferring certain cloud-    
    related incubation activities previously reported in Corporate and      
    unallocated costs and eliminations and in the Enterprise Group segment  
    to the Corporate Investments segment. In addition, HP transferred       
    certain intrasegment eliminations from the Enterprise Services segment  
    and the Enterprise Group segment to corporate intersegment revenue      
    eliminations.                                                           
                                                                            
    HP reflected these changes to its segment information in prior reporting
    periods on an as-if basis, which resulted in the transfer of revenue    
    among the Personal Systems, Printing, the Enterprise Group, Enterprise  
    Services and Software segments. These changes also resulted in the      
    transfer of operating profit among the Personal Systems, Printing, the  
    Enterprise Group, Software and Corporate Investments segments. These    
    changes had no impact on HP's previously reported consolidated net      
    revenue, earnings from operations, net earnings or net earnings per     
    share.

(a) Effective at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal 2014, HP      
    implemented certain organizational changes to align its segment         
    financial reporting more closely with its current business structure.   
    These organizational changes include (i) transferring the HP Exstream   
    business from the Commercial Hardware business unit within the Printing 
    segment to the Software segment; (ii) transferring the Personal Systems 
    trade and warranty support business from the Technology Services        
    business unit within the Enterprise Group segment to the Other business 
    unit within the Personal Systems segment; (iii) transferring the spare  
    and replacement parts business supporting the Personal Systems and      
    Printing segments from the Technology Services business unit within the 
    Enterprise Group segment to the Other business unit within the Personal 
    Systems segment and the Commercial Hardware business unit within the    
    Printing segment, respectively; and (iv) transferring certain cloud-    
    related incubation activities previously reported in Corporate and      
    unallocated costs and eliminations and in the Enterprise Group segment  
    to the Corporate Investments segment. In addition, HP transferred       
    certain intrasegment eliminations from the Enterprise Services segment  
    and the Enterprise Group segment to corporate intersegment revenue      
    eliminations.                                                           
                                                                            
    HP reflected these changes to its segment information in prior reporting
    periods on an as-if basis, which resulted in the transfer of revenue    
    among the Personal Systems, Printing, the Enterprise Group, Enterprise  
    Services and Software segments. These changes 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 GAAP basis, HP provides revenue on a constant currency basis, non-GAAP operating profit, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share, gross cash, free cash flow, net capital expenditures, net debt, net cash, operating company net debt and operating company net 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. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to revenue on a constant currency basis is revenue. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP operating profit is earnings from operations. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP operating margin is operating margin. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP net earnings is net earnings. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share is diluted net earnings per share. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to gross cash is cash and cash equivalents. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to free cash flow is cash flow from operations. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to net capital expenditures is capital expenditures. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to net debt and operating company net debt is total company debt. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to net cash and operating company net cash is cash and cash equivalents. Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP information are included in the tables above or elsewhere in the materials accompanying this news release.

Use and economic substance of non-GAAP financial measures used by HP
Revenue on a constant currency basis assumes no change in the foreign exchange rate from the prior-year period. Non-GAAP operating profit and non-GAAP operating margin are defined to exclude the effects of any restructuring charges, charges relating to the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, charges relating to the amortization of intangible assets, acquisition-related charges and charges related to the wind-down of HP businesses recorded during the relevant period. Non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share consist of net earnings or diluted net earnings per share 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 benefit 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 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 cash flow from operations less net capital expenditures. Net capital expenditures is defined as investments in property, plant and equipment less 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, funding acquisitions, 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 more accurate and complete assessment of HP's liquidity. Because net capital expenditures includes proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment, HP believes that net capital expenditures provides a more accurate and complete assessment of HP's liquidity. Because free cash flow includes the effect of net capital expenditures that are not reflected in GAAP cash flow from operations, HP believes that free cash flow provides a more accurate and complete assessment of HP's liquidity and capital resources.

Total company net debt consists of total debt (including the effects of hedging) less gross cash, which includes cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and certain liquid long-term investments. Total company net cash consists of gross cash less total debt. HP Financial Services (HPFS) net debt consists of HPFS debt, which includes primarily intercompany equity that is treated as debt for segment reporting purposes, intercompany debt, and borrowing and funding related activity associated with HPFS and its subsidiaries, less HPFS cash. Total company net debt and total company net cash provide useful information to HP's management about the state of HP's consolidated condensed balance sheet. Operating company net debt is a non-GAAP measure that is defined as total company net debt less HPFS net debt. Operating company net cash is a non-GAAP measure that is defined as total company net cash less HPFS cash less HPFS debt. Operating company net debt and operating company net cash provide additional useful information to HP's management about the state of HP's consolidated condensed balance sheet by providing more transparency into the financial components of the operating company separate from HP's financing business, which has different capital structure requirements and requires much greater leverage to run effectively.

Material limitations associated with use of non-GAAP financial measures
These non-GAAP financial measures 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 carefully those reconciliations.

Usefulness of non-GAAP financial measures to investors
HP believes that providing revenue on a constant currency basis, non-GAAP operating profit, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share, gross cash, free cash flow, net capital expenditures, net debt, net cash, operating company net debt and operating company net 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 to evaluate the efficacy of the methodology and information used by HP's management to evaluate and measure such performance. 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.
