of $14.3 billion, down 2.1% (down 0.2% in constant currency) from

"Our strong Q3 results and solid beat for the quarter, in the
face of unprecedented uncertainty, reflects the agility of our
teams and the strength of our portfolio," said Enrique Lores, HP's
President and CEO. "We're leveraging our leadership across consumer
and commercial markets to capitalize on opportunities - from the
essential role of the PC in an era of remote work and school to the
rise of subscription-based business models to enable greater
flexibility. Our diverse portfolio and disciplined execution are
powering our performance and we're well positioned to drive
continued value creation."

activities of $1.7 billion adjusted for net investment in leases of
$27 million and net investment in property, plant & equipment
of $117 million.
HP's dividend payment of $0.1762 per share in the third quarter

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 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 average 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-related 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, defined benefit plan settlement
charges, non-operating retirement related (credits)/charges, debt
extinguishment costs, 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
termination and early retirement costs and related benefits, costs
of real estate consolidation and other non-labor charges; and (ii)
other charges, which include non-recurring costs that 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 HP's
operating performance in other periods.
- HP incurs cost related to its acquisitions, 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,
and integration-related costs, as well as non-cash adjustments to
the fair value of certain acquired assets such as inventory. These
charges related to acquisitions are inconsistent in amount and
frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and nature
of HP's acquisitions. 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 HP's 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 HP's 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, and
impacts from other market-related factors 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 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 HP's operating performance in other
periods.
- HP incurred defined benefit plan settlement charges relating to
the U.S. HP pension plan. The charges are associated with the net
settlement and remeasurement resulting from voluntary lump sum
payments offered to certain terminated vested participants. HP
excludes these charges for the purposes of calculating these
non-GAAP measures to facilitate a more meaningful evaluation of
HP's current operating performance and comparisons to HP's
operating performance in other periods.
- HP incurred debt extinguishment costs related to repurchase of
certain of its outstanding U.S. dollar global notes. These costs
primarily included bond repurchase premiums partly offset by gains
from fair value hedges. HP excludes these 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
HP's operating performance in other periods.
- Tax adjustments include U.S. tax reform adjustment and net tax
indemnification amounts.
- HP recorded U.S. tax reform adjustments as one-time charges
relating to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and
has completed the accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Cuts
and Jobs Act within the one year measurement period. Additional
guidance is periodically issued by regulators and new positions
taken or elections made by HP impact the income tax expense and
effective tax rate in the period in which the adjustments are
made.
- HP also recorded other tax adjustment including tax benefits
and expenses related to the 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 HP's operating performance in other
periods.
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure that is defined as cash
flow from operations adjusted for net investment in leases and net
investments in property, plant, and equipment. 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. 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 and
cash equivalents, HP believes that gross cash provides a helpful
assessment of HP's liquidity. Because free cash flow includes net
cash (used in)/ provided by operating activities adjusted for net
investment in leases 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.
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-related charges, non-operating retirement-related
(credits)/charges, defined benefit plan settlement charges, debt
extinguishment costs and tax adjustments that are excluded from
non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP
diluted net EPS 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 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
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 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
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.
