Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

        In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements of Hewlett-Packard Company and its consolidated subsidiaries ("HP") contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly HP's financial position as of January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013 and its results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and January 31, 2013.

        The results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended January 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with HP's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, including "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" and the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in Items 7, 7A and 8, respectively, included therein.

        The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements include the accounts of HP and other subsidiaries and affiliates in which HP has a controlling financial interest. Non-controlling interests are presented as a separate component within Total stockholder's equity in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Net earnings attributable to the non-controlling interests are eliminated within Interest and other, net in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings and are not presented separately as they were not material for any period presented. HP has eliminated all significant intercompany accounts and transactions.

Use of Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in HP's Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Segment Reorganization

        HP has implemented certain segment and business unit realignments in order to align its segment financial reporting more closely with its current business structure. Prior year segment and business unit financial information have been made to conform to the current-year presentation. None of the changes impacts HP's previously reported consolidated net revenue, earnings from operations, net earnings or net earnings per share. See Note 16 for a further discussion of HP's segment reorganization.

Accounting Pronouncements

        In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a new accounting standard requiring the presentation of certain unrecognized tax benefits as reductions to deferred tax assets rather than as liabilities in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. HP will be required to adopt this new standard on a prospective basis in the first quarter of fiscal 2015; however, early adoption is

permitted as is retrospective application. HP is currently evaluating the timing, transition method and impact of this new standard on its Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

Note 2: Stock-Based Compensation

        HP's stock-based compensation plans include HP's principal equity plans as well as various equity plans assumed through business combinations. HP's principal equity plans permit the issuance of restricted stock awards, stock options and performance-based awards.

        Stock-based compensation expense and the resulting tax benefits were as follows:

	Three months ended January 31, 2014			Three months ended January 31, 2013
	In millions
Stock-based compensation expense	$	170		$	184
Income tax benefit		(53	)		(57	)
Stock-based compensation expense, net of tax	$	117		$	127

Restricted Stock Awards

        Restricted stock awards are non-vested stock awards that include grants of restricted stock and grants of restricted stock units. For the three months ended January 31, 2014, HP granted only restricted stock units.

        Non-vested restricted stock awards as of January 31, 2014, and changes during the three months ended January 31, 2014 were as follows:

	Three months ended January 31, 2014
	Shares			Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share
	In thousands
Outstanding at beginning of period		32,262		$	21
Granted		21,013		$	27
Vested		(11,918	)	$	24
Forfeited		(557	)	$	21
Outstanding at end of period		40,800		$	23

        At January 31, 2014, there was $692 million of unrecognized pre-tax stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock awards, which HP expects to recognize over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 1.6 years.

Note 2: Stock-Based Compensation (Continued)

Stock Options

        HP utilizes the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula to estimate the fair value of stock options subject to service-based vesting conditions that are granted under its principal equity plans. HP estimates the fair value of stock options subject to performance-contingent vesting conditions using a combination of a Monte Carlo simulation model and a lattice model, as these awards contain market conditions. The weighted-average fair value and the assumptions used to measure fair value were as follows:

	Three months ended January 31
	2014			2013
Weighted-average fair value of grants per option(1)	$	7.45		$	4.01
Expected volatility(2)		34	%		42	%
Risk-free interest rate(3)		1.79	%		0.98	%
Expected dividend yield(4)		2.15	%		3.77	%
Expected term in months(5)		69			70

⁽¹⁾

The fair value calculation was based on stock options granted during the period.

⁽²⁾

For the three months ended January 31, 2014, expected volatility for stock options subject to service-based vesting was determined using implied volatility from traded options on HP's stock whereas for performance-contingent stock options, expected volatility was determined using historical volatility. For the three months ended January 31, 2013, expected volatility for stock options subject to service-based vesting and performance-contingent stock options was determined using implied volatility from traded options on HP's stock.

⁽³⁾

The risk-free interest rate was determined using the yield on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues.

⁽⁴⁾

The expected dividend yield was determined using a constant dividend yield during the expected term of the option.

⁽⁵⁾

For stock options subject to service-based vesting, expected term was determined using historical exercise and post-vesting termination patterns; and for performance-contingent stock options, expected term represents an output from the lattice model.

Note 2: Stock-Based Compensation (Continued)

        Option activity as of January 31, 2014, and changes during the three months ended January 31, 2014 were as follows:

	Three months ended January 31, 2014
	Shares			Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
	In thousands					In years		In millions
Outstanding at beginning of period		84,042		$	27
Granted		8,600		$	27
Exercised		(2,240	)	$	17
Forfeited/cancelled/expired		(18,362	)	$	32
Outstanding at end of period		72,040		$	26		5.0	$	481
Vested and expected to vest at end of period		66,593		$	26		4.8	$	432
Exercisable at end of period		34,307		$	33		2.9	$	138

        The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value that option holders would have received had all option holders exercised their options on January 31, 2014. The aggregate intrinsic value is the difference between HP's closing stock price on the last trading day of the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options. Total intrinsic value of options exercised for the three months ended January 31, 2014 was $24 million.

        At January 31, 2014, there was $135 million of unrecognized pre-tax, stock-based compensation expense related to stock options, which HP expects to recognize over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 2.2 years.

Note 3: Net Earnings Per Share

        HP calculates basic net earnings per share ("EPS") using net earnings and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted net EPS includes any dilutive effect of restricted stock, stock options and performance-based restricted units.

Note 3: Net Earnings Per Share (Continued)

        The reconciliations of the numerators and denominators of each of the basic and diluted net EPS calculations were as follows:

	Three months ended January 31
	2014		2013
	In millions, except per share amounts
Numerator:
Net earnings(1)	$	1,425	$	1,232
Denominator:
Weighted-average shares used to compute basic net EPS		1,907		1,953
Dilutive effect of employee stock plans		28		3
Weighted-average shares used to compute diluted net EPS		1,935		1,956
Net earnings per share:
Basic	$	0.75	$	0.63
Diluted	$	0.74	$	0.63

⁽¹⁾

Net earnings available to participating securities were not significant for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013. HP considers restricted stock that provides the holder with a non-forfeitable right to receive dividends to be a participating security.

        HP excludes options with exercise prices that are greater than the average market price from the calculation of diluted net EPS because their effect would be anti-dilutive. In the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, HP excluded from the calculation of diluted net EPS options to purchase 30 million shares and 74 million shares, respectively. In addition, HP also excluded from the calculation of diluted net EPS options to purchase an additional 7 million shares and 12 million shares, respectively, as their combined exercise price, unamortized fair value and excess tax benefits were greater in each of those periods than the average market price for HP's stock.

      Balance sheet details were as follows:

Allowance for doubtful accounts—accounts receivable:
Balance at beginning of period	$	332

Balance at end of period	$	268

        HP has third-party financing arrangements consisting of revolving short-term financing intended to facilitate the working capital requirements of certain customers. These financing arrangements, which in one case provides for partial recourse, result in a transfer of HP's trade receivables and risk to the third party. As these transfers qualify for sales accounting treatment, the trade receivables are derecognized from the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets upon transfer, and HP receives a payment for the trade receivables from the third party within a mutually agreed upon time period. For the arrangement involving an element of recourse, the recourse obligation is measured using market data from similar transactions and reported as a current liability in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The recourse obligations as of January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013 were not material.

        For both periods ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, $1.5 billion of trade receivables were sold under these facilities, which approximates the amount of cash received. The resulting costs associated with the sales of trade accounts receivable for both periods were not material. The maximum program capacity and available program capacity under these arrangements were as follows:

	January 31, 2014		October 31, 2013

Note 5: Goodwill and Intangible Assets (Continued)

        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. As a result of the organizational realignments, which are described in detail in Note 16, goodwill has been reclassified to the respective segments as of the beginning of the period using a relative fair value approach.

        Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. At the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal 2014, HP made a change to its reporting units. In connection with continued operational synergies and interdependencies between the Enterprise Servers, Storage and Networking reporting unit and the Technology Services ("TS") reporting unit within the Enterprise Group ("EG") segment, HP combined these reporting units to create the EG reporting unit. As of January 31, 2014 our reporting units are consistent with the reportable segments identified in Note 16, except for ES, which includes two reporting units: MphasiS Limited; and the remainder of ES.

        HP will continue to evaluate the recoverability of goodwill on an annual basis as of the beginning of its fourth fiscal quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate there may be a potential impairment.

Fiscal 2012 Restructuring Plan

        On May 23, 2012, HP adopted a multi-year restructuring plan (the "2012 Plan") designed to simplify business processes, accelerate innovation and deliver better results for customers, employees and stockholders. HP estimates that it will eliminate approximately 34,000 positions in connection with the 2012 Plan through fiscal year 2014, with a portion of those employees exiting the company as part of voluntary enhanced early retirement ("EER") programs in the United States and in certain other countries. HP estimates it will recognize approximately $4.1 billion in aggregate charges in connection with the 2012 Plan. HP expects to record these charges through the end of HP's 2014 fiscal year as the accounting recognition criteria are met. HP expects approximately $3.5 billion to relate to workforce reductions, including the EER programs, and approximately $0.6 billion to relate to infrastructure, including data center and real estate consolidation, and other items. As of January 31, 2014, HP had eliminated approximately 28,300 positions for which a severance payment has been or will be made as part of the 2012 Plan. The severance and infrastructure related cash payments associated with the 2012 Plan are expected to be paid out through fiscal 2021.

Other Plans

        Restructuring plans initiated by HP in fiscal 2008 and 2010 have been substantially completed as of January 31, 2014, with $5 million of restructuring charges anticipated in future periods. HP estimates it will recognize approximately $4.1 billion in aggregate charges in connection with these plans. The severance and infrastructure-related cash payments associated with the other plans are expected to be paid out through fiscal 2019.

Note 7: Fair Value

        Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Fair Value Hierarchy

        Valuation techniques used by HP are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable or market inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect HP's assumptions about market participant assumptions based on the best information available. Assets and liabilities are classified in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement:

        Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

        Level 2—Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

        Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

        The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to observable inputs and lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

Valuation Techniques

        Cash Equivalents and Investments:    HP holds time deposits, money market funds, mutual funds, other debt securities primarily consisting of corporate and foreign government notes and bonds, and common stock and equivalents. HP values cash equivalents and equity investments using quoted market prices, alternative pricing sources, including net asset value, or models utilizing market observable inputs. The fair value of debt instruments were based on quoted market prices or model driven valuations using inputs primarily derived from or corroborated by observable market data, and in certain instances internally developed valuation models that utilize assumptions which cannot be corroborated with observable market data.

        Derivative Instruments:    As discussed in Note 8, HP holds forwards, swaps and options to hedge certain foreign currency and interest rate exposures. When prices in active markets are not available for the identical asset or liability, HP uses industry standard valuation models to measure fair value. Where

Note 7: Fair Value (Continued)

applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to present value using market-based observable inputs, including interest rate curves, HP and counterparty credit risk, foreign exchange rates, and forward and spot prices for currencies and interest rates.

Other Fair Value Disclosures

        Short- and Long-Term Debt:    HP estimates the fair value of its debt primarily using an expected present value technique, which is based upon observable market inputs using interest rates currently available to companies of similar credit standing for similar terms and remaining maturities, and considering its own credit risk. The portion of HP's debt that is hedged is reflected in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as an amount equal to the debt's carrying amount and a fair value adjustment representing changes in the fair value of the hedged debt obligations arising from movements in benchmark interest rates. The estimated fair value of HP's short-and long-term debt was approximately $24.8 billion at January 31, 2014, compared to its carrying value of $24.6 billion at that date. The estimated fair value of HP's short- and long-term debt was approximately $22.7 billion at October 31, 2013, compared to its carrying value of $22.6 billion at that date. If measured at fair value in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets, short- and long-term debt would be classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

        Other Financial Instruments:    For the balance of HP's financial instruments, primarily accounts receivable, accounts payable and financial liabilities in other accrued liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities. If measured at fair value in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets, these other financial instruments would be classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

        Non-Marketable Equity Investments and Non-Financial Assets:    HP's non-marketable equity investments and non-financial assets, such as intangible assets, goodwill and property, plant and equipment, are recorded at fair value in the period an impairment charge is recognized.

        All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition are considered cash equivalents. As of January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, the carrying value of cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short period of time to maturity. Time deposits were primarily issued by institutions outside the United States as of January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013. The estimated fair value of the available-for-sale investments may not be representative of values that will be realized in the future.

        The gross unrealized loss of $15 million as of January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013 was due primarily to a decline in the fair value of a debt security that has been in a continuous loss position for more than twelve months. HP does not intend to sell this debt security, and it is not likely that HP will be required to sell this debt security prior to the recovery of the amortized cost.

Derivative Instruments

        HP is a global company exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and interest rate changes in the normal course of its business. As part of its risk management strategy, HP uses derivative instruments, primarily forward contracts, option contracts, interest rate swaps, and total return swaps, to hedge certain foreign currency, interest rate and, to a lesser extent, equity exposures. HP's objective is to offset gains and losses resulting from these exposures with losses and gains on the derivative contracts used to hedge them, thereby reducing volatility of earnings or protecting fair values of assets and liabilities. HP does not have any leveraged derivatives and does not use derivative contracts for speculative purposes. HP designates its derivatives as fair value hedges, cash flow hedges or hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation ("net investment hedges"). Additionally, for derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, HP categorizes those economic hedges as other derivatives. HP recognizes all derivative instruments at fair value in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. HP classifies cash flows from its derivative programs as operating activities in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows.

        As a result of its use of derivative instruments, HP is exposed to the risk that its counterparties will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate counterparty credit risk, HP has a policy of only entering into contracts with carefully selected major financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and other factors, and HP maintains dollar risk limits that correspond to each institution's credit rating and other factors. HP's established policies and procedures for mitigating credit risk include reviewing and establishing limits for credit exposure and periodically re-assessing the creditworthiness of counterparties. Master netting agreements mitigate credit exposure to counterparties by permitting HP to net amounts due from HP to a counterparty against amounts due to HP from the same counterparty under certain conditions.

        To further mitigate credit exposure to counterparties, HP has collateral security agreements that allow HP to hold collateral from or require HP to post collateral to counterparties when aggregate derivative fair values exceed contractually established thresholds which are generally based on the credit

21

HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

Note 8: Financial Instruments (Continued)

ratings of HP and its counterparties. If HP's or the counterparty's credit rating falls below a specified credit rating, either party has the right to request full collateralization on the derivatives' net liability position. Such funds are generally transferred within two business days of the due date.

        Under HP's derivative contracts, the counterparty can terminate all outstanding trades following a covered change of control event affecting HP that results in the surviving entity being rated below a specified credit rating. This credit contingent provision did not affect HP's financial position as of January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013.

Fair Value Hedges

        HP issues long-term debt in U.S. dollars based on market conditions at the time of financing. HP may enter into fair value hedges, such as interest rate swaps, to reduce the exposure of its debt portfolio to interest rate risk and achieve a primarily U.S. dollar LIBOR-based floating interest expense. The swap transactions generally involve principal and interest obligations for U.S. dollar-denominated amounts. Alternatively, HP may choose not to swap fixed for floating interest payments or may terminate a previously executed swap if it believes a larger proportion of fixed-rate debt would be beneficial.

        When investing in fixed-rate instruments, HP may enter into interest rate swaps that convert the fixed interest payments into variable interest payments and may designate these swaps as fair value hedges.

        For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, HP recognizes the gain or loss on the derivative instrument, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item, in Interest and other, net in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings in the period of change.

Cash Flow Hedges

        HP uses a combination of forward contracts and options designated as cash flow hedges to protect against the foreign currency exchange rate risks inherent in its forecasted net revenue and, to a lesser extent, cost of sales, operating expenses, and intercompany loans denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. HP's foreign currency cash flow hedges mature generally within twelve months; however, certain leasing revenue-related forward contracts and intercompany loan forward contracts extend for the duration of the lease or loan term, which can be up to five years.

        For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, HP initially records the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument in Accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of stockholders' equity in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets and subsequently reclassifies these amounts into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. HP reports the effective portion of its cash flow hedges in the same financial statement line item as changes in the fair value of the hedged item. During the three months ended January 31, 2014, HP did not discontinue any cash flow hedge for which it was probable that a forecasted transaction would not occur. During the three months ended January 31, 2013 there was no significant impact to results of operations as a result of discontinued cash flow hedges.

Note 8: Financial Instruments (Continued)

Net Investment Hedges

        HP uses forward contracts designated as net investment hedges to hedge net investments in certain foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is the local currency. These derivative instruments are designated as net investment hedges and, as such, HP records the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument together with changes in the fair value of the hedged items in Cumulative translation adjustment as a separate component of stockholders' equity in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

Other Derivatives

        Other derivatives not designated as hedging instruments consist primarily of forward contracts HP uses to hedge foreign currency-denominated balance sheet exposures. HP also uses total return swaps and, to a lesser extent, interest rate swaps, based on equity or fixed income indices, to hedge its executive deferred compensation plan liability.

        For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, HP recognizes changes in fair value in earnings in the period of change. HP recognizes the gain or loss on foreign currency forward contracts used to hedge balance sheet exposures in Interest and other, net in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings in the same period as the remeasurement gain and loss of the related foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities. HP recognizes the gain or loss on the total return swaps and interest rate swaps in Interest and other, net in the same period as the gain or loss from changes in the fair value of amounts owed to participants in the executive deferred compensation plan.

Hedge Effectiveness

        For interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges, HP measures effectiveness by offsetting the change in fair value of the hedged instrument with the change in fair value of the derivative. For foreign currency options and forward contracts designated as cash flow or net investment hedges, HP measures effectiveness by comparing the cumulative change in the hedge contract with the cumulative change in the hedged item, both of which are based on forward rates. HP recognizes any ineffective portion of the hedge in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings in the same period in which ineffectiveness occurs. Amounts excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings in the period they arise.

Note 9: Financing Receivables and Operating Leases

        Financing receivables represent sales-type and direct-financing leases resulting from the placement of HP and third-party products. These receivables typically have terms from two to five years and are usually collateralized by a security interest in the underlying assets. Financing receivables also include billed receivables from operating leases. The components of financing receivables, which are included

Credit Quality Indicators

        Due to the homogenous nature of its leasing transactions, HP manages its financing receivables on an aggregate basis when assessing and monitoring credit risk. Credit risk is generally diversified due to the large number of entities comprising HP's customer base and their dispersion across many different industries and geographical regions. HP evaluates the credit quality of an obligor at lease inception and monitors that credit quality over the term of a transaction. HP assigns risk ratings to each lease based on the creditworthiness of the obligor and other variables that augment or mitigate the inherent credit risk of a particular transaction. Such variables include the underlying value and liquidity of the collateral, the essential use of the equipment, the term of the lease, and the inclusion of guarantees, letters of credit, security deposits or other credit enhancements.

        The credit risk profile of gross financing receivables, based on internally assigned ratings, was as follows:

	January 31, 2014		October 31, 2013
	In millions
Risk Rating
Low	$	3,724	$	3,948
Moderate		3,000		3,084
High		126		121
Total	$	6,850	$	7,153

        Accounts rated low risk typically have the equivalent of a Standard & Poor's rating of BBB- or higher, while accounts rated moderate risk generally have the equivalent of BB+ or lower. HP classifies accounts as high risk when it considers the financing receivable to be impaired or when management believes that there is a near-term risk of impairment.

Note 9: Financing Receivables and Operating Leases (Continued)

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

        The allowance for doubtful accounts for financing receivables is comprised of a general reserve and a specific reserve. HP maintains general reserve percentages on a regional basis and bases such percentages on several factors, including consideration of historical credit losses and portfolio delinquencies, trends in the overall weighted-average risk rating of the portfolio, current economic conditions and information derived from competitive benchmarking. HP excludes accounts evaluated as part of the specific reserve from the general reserve analysis. HP establishes a specific reserve for leases with identified exposures, such as customer defaults, bankruptcy or other events, that make it unlikely that HP will recover its investment in the lease. For individually evaluated receivables, HP determines the expected cash flow for the receivable, which includes consideration of estimated proceeds from disposition of the collateral, and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts where a loss is probable, HP records a specific reserve. HP generally records a write-off or specific reserve when an account reaches 180 days past due, or sooner if HP determines that the account is not collectible.

        The allowance for doubtful accounts for financing receivables as of January 31, 2014, and changes during the three months ended January 31, 2014 were as follows:

	Three months ended January 31, 2014

Gross financing receivables individually evaluated for loss		340		380
Total	$	6,850	$	7,153

Non-Accrual and Past-Due Financing Receivables

        HP considers a financing receivable to be past due when the minimum payment is not received by the contractually specified due date. HP generally places financing receivables on non-accrual status

29

HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Continued)

(Unaudited)

Note 9: Financing Receivables and Operating Leases (Continued)

(suspension of interest accrual) and considers such receivables to be non-performing at the earlier of the time at which full payment of principal and interest becomes doubtful or the receivable becomes contractually 90 days past due. Subsequently, HP may recognize revenue on non-accrual financing receivables as payments are received (i.e., on a cash basis) if HP deems the recorded financing receivable to be fully collectible; however, if there is doubt regarding the ultimate collectability of the recorded financing receivable, HP applies all cash receipts to reduce the carrying amount of the financing receivable (i.e., the cost recovery method). In certain circumstances, such as when HP deems a delinquency to be of an administrative nature, financing receivables may accrue interest after they reach 90 days past due. The non-accrual status of a financing receivable may not impact a customer's risk rating. After all of a customer's delinquent principal and interest balances are settled, HP may return the related financing receivable to accrual status.

        The following table summarizes the aging and non-accrual status of gross financing receivables:

Note 10: Guarantees

Guarantees

        In the ordinary course of business, HP may issue performance guarantees to certain of its clients, customers and other parties pursuant to which HP has guaranteed the performance obligations of third parties. Some of those guarantees may be backed by standby letters of credit or surety bonds. In general, HP would be obligated to perform over the term of the guarantee in the event a specified triggering event occurs as defined by the guarantee. HP believes the likelihood of having to perform under a material guarantee is remote.

        HP has entered into service contracts with certain of its clients that are supported by financing arrangements. If a service contract is terminated as a result of HP's non-performance under the contract or failure to comply with the terms of the financing arrangement, HP could, under certain circumstances, be required to acquire certain assets related to the service contract. HP believes the likelihood of it being required to acquire a material amount of assets under these arrangements is remote.

Indemnifications

        In the ordinary course of business, HP enters into contractual arrangements under which HP may agree to indemnify the third party to such arrangement from any losses incurred relating to the services they perform on behalf of HP or for losses arising from certain events as defined within the particular contract, which may include, for example, litigation or claims relating to past performance. HP also provides indemnifications to certain vendors against claims of intellectual property infringement made by third parties arising from the vendor's use of HP's software products and certain other matters. Such indemnification obligations may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. Historically, payments made related to these indemnifications have been immaterial.

Warranty

        HP accrues the estimated cost of product warranties at the time it recognizes revenue. HP engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of its component suppliers; however, contractual warranty terms, repair costs, product call rates, average cost per call, current period product shipments, ongoing product failure rates, as well as specific product class failures outside of HP's baseline experience, affect the estimated warranty obligation.

Note 11: Borrowings (Continued)

        As disclosed in Note 8, HP uses interest rate swaps to mitigate interest rate risk in connection with certain fixed-rate global notes in order to achieve primarily U.S. dollar LIBOR-based floating interest expense. The interest rates in the table above have not been adjusted to reflect the impact of any interest rate swaps.

        HP may redeem some or all of the fixed-rate U.S. Dollar Global Notes and EDS Senior Notes set forth in the above table at any time in accordance with the terms thereof. The U.S. Dollar Global Notes are senior unsecured debt.

        In May 2012, HP filed a shelf registration statement (the "2012 Shelf Registration Statement") with the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC") to enable the company to offer for sale, from time to time, in one or more offerings, an unspecified amount of debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares and warrants. The 2012 Shelf Registration Statement replaced the registration statement filed in May 2009.

        HP's Board of Directors has authorized the issuance of up to $16.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of commercial paper by HP. HP's subsidiaries are authorized to issue up to an additional $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of commercial paper. HP maintains two commercial paper programs, and a wholly-owned subsidiary maintains a third program. HP's U.S. program provides for the issuance of U.S. dollar-denominated commercial paper up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $16.0 billion. HP's euro commercial paper program, which was established in September 2012, provides for the issuance of commercial paper outside of the United States denominated in U.S. dollars, euros or British pounds up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $3.0 billion or the equivalent in those alternative currencies. The combined aggregate principal amount of commercial paper outstanding under those programs at any one time cannot exceed the $16.0 billion authorized by HP's Board of Directors. The HP subsidiary's Euro Commercial Paper/Certificate of Deposit Programme provides for the issuance of commercial paper in various currencies of up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $500 million.

        HP maintains senior unsecured committed credit facilities primarily to support the issuance of commercial paper. HP has a $3.0 billion five-year credit facility that expires in March 2017 and a $4.5 billion four-year credit facility that expires in February 2015. Both facilities support the U.S. commercial paper program and the euro commercial paper program. In addition, the five-year credit facility was amended in September 2012 to permit borrowings in euros and British pounds, with the amounts available in euros and pounds being limited to the U.S. dollar equivalent of $2.2 billion and $300 million, respectively. Commitment fees, interest rates and other terms of borrowing under the credit facilities vary based on HP's external credit ratings. HP's ability to have an outstanding U.S. commercial paper balance that exceeds the $7.5 billion supported by these credit facilities is subject to a number of factors, including liquidity conditions and business performance.

        As of January 31, 2014, HP had the capacity to issue an unspecified amount of additional debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares and warrants under the 2012 Shelf Registration Statement. As of that date, HP also had up to $17.6 billion of available borrowing resources, including $16.2 billion in available capacity under its commercial paper programs and $1.4 billion relating to uncommitted lines of credit. The extent to which HP is able to utilize the 2012 Shelf Registration Statement and the commercial paper programs as sources of liquidity at any given

Note 12: Income Taxes

Provision for Taxes

        HP's effective tax rate was 22.3% and 21.7% for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. HP's effective tax rate generally differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% due to favorable tax rates associated with certain earnings from HP's operations in lower-tax jurisdictions throughout the world. HP has not provided U.S. taxes for all foreign earnings because HP plans to reinvest some of those earnings indefinitely outside the United States.

        In the three months ended January 31, 2014, HP recorded $22 million of net tax charges related to discrete items. These amounts included $37 million of various tax charges and $15 million of tax benefits on restructuring charges.

        In the three months ended January 31, 2013, HP recorded $5 million of net tax charges related to discrete items. These amounts consisted primarily of a tax charge of $150 million related to a past uncertain tax position offset by approximately $50 million of various adjustments to estimated tax provisions of foreign jurisdictions as well as $45 million of benefits associated with restructuring charges, various uncertain tax positions and valuation allowance adjustments. In addition, in January 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 was signed into law. HP recorded a tax benefit of $50 million arising from the retroactive research and development credit provided by that legislation in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Uncertain Tax Positions

        HP is subject to income tax in the United States and approximately 80 other countries and is subject to routine corporate income tax audits in many of these jurisdictions. In addition, HP is subject to numerous ongoing audits by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. HP believes it has provided adequate reserves for all tax deficiencies or reductions in tax benefits that could result from federal, state and foreign tax audits. HP regularly assesses the likely outcomes of these audits in order to determine the appropriateness of our tax provision. HP adjusts its uncertain tax positions to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular audit. However, income tax audits are inherently unpredictable and there can

35

HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Continued)

Note 12: Income Taxes (Continued)

be no assurance that HP will accurately predict the outcome of these audits. The amounts ultimately paid on resolution of an audit could be materially different from the amounts previously included in the Provision for taxes and therefore the resolution of one or more of these uncertainties in any particular period could have a material impact on net income or cash flows.

        As of January 31, 2014, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $3.5 billion, of which up to $1.8 billion would affect HP's effective tax rate if realized. HP recognizes interest income from favorable settlements and income tax receivables and interest expense and penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in Provision for taxes in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. As of January 31, 2014, HP had accrued $212 million for interest and penalties.

        HP engages in continuous discussions and negotiations with taxing authorities regarding tax matters in various jurisdictions. HP does not expect complete resolution of any U.S. Internal Revenue Service audit cycle within the next 12 months. However, it is reasonably possible that certain federal, foreign and state tax issues may be concluded in the next 12 months, including issues involving transfer pricing and other matters. Accordingly, HP believes it is reasonably possible that its existing unrecognized tax benefits may be reduced by an amount up to $1.2 billion within the next 12 months.

Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities

        Current and long-term deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as follows:

Share Repurchase Program

        HP's share repurchase program authorizes both open market and private repurchase transactions. In the three months ended January 31, 2014, HP executed share repurchases of 21 million shares, 20 million shares of which were settled for $565 million. HP had 1 million shares repurchased in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 that will be settled in the second quarter of fiscal 2014. HP paid $253 million in connection with repurchases of 19 million shares during the three months ended January 31, 2013. The shares repurchased and settled in the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 were all open market transactions. As of January 31, 2014, HP had remaining authorization of $7.1 billion for future share repurchases.

Employer Contributions and Funding Policy

        HP's policy is to fund its pension plans so that it makes at least the minimum contribution required by local government, funding and taxing authorities.

        HP previously disclosed in its Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013 that it expected to contribute in fiscal 2014 approximately $617 million to its non-U.S.

38

HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Continued)

(Unaudited)

Note 14: Retirement and Post-Retirement Benefit Plans (Continued)

pension plans and expected to pay approximately $33 million to cover benefit payments to U.S. non-qualified plan participants. HP expected to pay approximately $109 million to cover benefit claims for HP's post-retirement benefit plans.

        During the three months ended January 31, 2014, HP contributed $72 million to its non-U.S. pension plans, paid $6 million to cover benefit payments to U.S. non-qualified plan participants, and paid $26 million to cover benefit claims under HP's post-retirement benefit plans. During the remainder of fiscal 2014, HP anticipates making additional contributions of approximately $545 million to its non-U.S. pension plans and approximately $27 million to its U.S. non-qualified plan participants and expects to pay approximately $83 million to cover benefit claims under HP's post-retirement benefit plans.

        HP's pension and other post-retirement benefit costs and obligations depend on various assumptions. Differences between expected and actual returns on investments and changes in discount rates and other actuarial assumptions are reflected as unrecognized gains or losses, and such gains or losses are amortized to earnings in future periods. A deterioration in the funded status of a plan could result in a need for additional company contributions or an increase in net pension and post-retirement benefit costs in future periods. Actuarial gains or losses are determined at the measurement date and amortized over the remaining service life for active plans or the life expectancy of plan participants for frozen plans.

Note 15: Litigation and Contingencies

        HP is involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, including those identified below, consisting of intellectual property, commercial, securities, employment, employee benefits and environmental matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. HP accrues a liability when management believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. HP believes it has recorded adequate provisions for any such matters, and, as of January 31, 2014, it was not reasonably possible that a material loss had been incurred in excess of the amounts recognized in HP's financial statements. HP reviews these matters at least quarterly and adjusts its accruals to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Based on its experience, HP believes that any damage amounts claimed in the specific matters discussed below are not a meaningful indicator of HP's potential liability. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. However, HP believes it has valid defenses with respect to legal matters pending against it. Nevertheless, cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the resolution of one or more of these contingencies.

Litigation, Proceedings and Investigations

        Copyright Levies.    As described below, proceedings are ongoing or have been concluded involving HP in certain European Union ("EU") member countries, including litigation in Germany, Belgium and Austria, seeking to impose or modify levies upon equipment (such as multifunction devices ("MFDs"), personal computers ("PCs") and printers) and alleging that these devices enable producing private copies of copyrighted materials. Descriptions of some of the ongoing proceedings are included below. The levies are generally based upon the number of products sold and the per-product amounts

39

HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

Note 15: Litigation and Contingencies (Continued)

of the levies, which vary. Some EU member countries that do not yet have levies on digital devices are expected to implement similar legislation to enable them to extend existing levy schemes, while some other EU member countries have phased out levies or are expected to limit the scope of levy schemes and applicability in the digital hardware environment, particularly with respect to sales to business users. HP, other companies and various industry associations have opposed the extension of levies to the digital environment and have advocated alternative models of compensation to rights holders.

        VerwertungsGesellschaft Wort ("VG Wort"), a collection agency representing certain copyright holders, instituted legal proceedings against HP in the Stuttgart Civil Court seeking to impose levies on printers. On December 22, 2004, the court held that HP is liable for payments regarding all printers using ASCII code sold in Germany but did not determine the amount payable per unit. HP appealed this decision in January 2005 to the Stuttgart Court of Appeals. On May 11, 2005, the Stuttgart Court of Appeals issued a decision confirming that levies are due. On June 6, 2005, HP filed an appeal to the German Federal Supreme Court in Karlsruhe. On December 6, 2007, the German Federal Supreme Court issued a judgment that printers are not subject to levies under existing law. VG Wort appealed the decision by filing a claim with the German Federal Constitutional Court challenging the ruling that printers are not subject to levies. On September 21, 2010, the Constitutional Court published a decision holding that the German Federal Supreme Court erred by not referring questions on interpretation of German copyright law to the Court of Justice of the European Union ("CJEU") and therefore revoked the German Federal Supreme Court decision and remitted the matter to it. On July 21, 2011, the German Federal Supreme Court stayed the proceedings and referred several questions to the CJEU with regard to the interpretation of the European Copyright Directive. On June 27, 2013, the CJEU issued its decision responding to those questions. The German Federal Supreme Court subsequently scheduled a joint hearing on this matter with other cases relating to reprographic levies on printers and PCs that was held on October 31, 2013. The German Federal Supreme Court adopted a decision on January 22, 2014 reopening the oral hearing and scheduling a new hearing for April 30, 2014.

        In September 2003, VG Wort filed a lawsuit against Fujitsu Technology Solutions GmbH ("Fujitsu") in the Munich Civil Court in Munich, Germany seeking to impose levies on PCs. This is an industry test case in Germany, and HP has agreed not to object to the delay if VG Wort sues HP for such levies on PCs following a final decision against Fujitsu. On December 23, 2004, the Munich Civil Court held that PCs are subject to a levy and that Fujitsu must pay €12 plus compound interest for each PC sold in Germany since March 2001. Fujitsu appealed this decision in January 2005 to the Munich Court of Appeals. On December 15, 2005, the Munich Court of Appeals affirmed the Munich Civil Court decision. Fujitsu filed an appeal with the German Federal Supreme Court in February 2006. On October 2, 2008, the German Federal Supreme Court issued a judgment that PCs were not photocopiers within the meaning of the German copyright law that was in effect until December 31, 2007 and, therefore, were not subject to the levies on photocopiers established by that law. VG Wort subsequently filed a claim with the German Federal Constitutional Court challenging that ruling. In January 2011, the Constitutional Court published a decision holding that the German Federal Supreme Court decision was inconsistent with the German Constitution and revoking the German Federal Supreme Court decision. The Constitutional Court also remitted the matter to the German Federal Supreme Court for further action. On July 21, 2011, the German Federal Supreme Court stayed the proceedings and referred several questions to the CJEU with regard to the interpretation of the European Copyright Directive. On June 27, 2013, the CJEU issued its decision responding to those

questions. The German Federal Supreme Court subsequently scheduled a joint hearing on that matter with other cases relating to reprographic levies on printers that was held on October 31, 2013. The German Federal Supreme Court adopted a decision on January 22, 2014 reopening the oral hearing and scheduling a new hearing for April 30, 2014.

        Reprobel, a cooperative society with the authority to collect and distribute the remuneration for reprography to Belgian copyright holders, requested by extra-judicial means that HP amend certain copyright levy declarations submitted for inkjet MFDs sold in Belgium from January 2005 to December 2009 to enable it to collect copyright levies calculated based on the generally higher copying speed when the MFDs are operated in draft print mode rather than when operated in normal print mode. In March 2010, HP filed a lawsuit against Reprobel in the French-speaking chambers of the Court of First Instance of Brussels seeking a declaratory judgment that no copyright levies are payable on sales of MFDs in Belgium or, alternatively, that copyright levies payable on such MFDs must be assessed based on the copying speed when operated in the normal print mode set by default in the device. On November 16, 2012, the court issued a decision holding that Belgium law is not in conformity with EU law in a number of respects and ordered that, by November 2013, Reprobel substantiate that the amounts claimed by Reprobel are commensurate with the harm resulting from legitimate copying under the reprographic exception. HP subsequently appealed that court decision to the Courts of Appeal in Brussels seeking to confirm that the Belgian law is not in conformity with EU law and that, if Belgian law is interpreted in a manner consistent with EU law, no payments by HP are required or, alternatively, the payments already made by HP are sufficient to comply with its obligations under Belgian law. On October 23, 2013, the Court of Appeal in Brussels stayed the proceedings and referred several questions to the CJEU relating to whether the Belgian reprographic copyright levies system is in conformity with EU law.

        Based on industry opposition to the extension of levies to digital products, HP's assessments of the merits of various proceedings and HP's estimates of the number of units impacted and the amounts of the levies, HP has accrued amounts that it believes are adequate to address the matters described above. However, the ultimate resolution of these matters and the associated financial impact on HP, including the number of units impacted and the amount of levies imposed, remains uncertain.

        Fair Labor Standards Act Litigation.    HP is involved in several lawsuits in which the plaintiffs are seeking unpaid overtime compensation and other damages based on allegations that various employees of EDS or HP have been misclassified as exempt employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act and/or in violation of the California Labor Code or other state laws. Those matters include the following:

•

Cunningham and Cunningham, et al. v. Electronic Data Systems Corporation is a purported collective action filed on May 10, 2006 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York claiming that current and former EDS employees allegedly involved in installing and/or maintaining computer software and hardware were misclassified as exempt employees. Another purported collective action, Steavens, et al. v. Electronic Data Systems Corporation, which was filed on October 23, 2007, is also now pending in the same court alleging similar facts. The Steavens case has been consolidated for pretrial purposes with the Cunningham case. On December 14, 2010, the court granted conditional certification of a class consisting of employees in 20 legacy EDS job codes in the consolidated Cunningham and Steavens matter. Approximately 2,600 current and former EDS employees have filed consents to opt in to the

litigation. Plaintiffs had alleged separate "opt-out" classes based on the overtime laws of the states of California, Washington, Massachusetts and New York, but plaintiffs have dismissed those claims.

•

Salva v. Hewlett-Packard Company is a purported collective action filed on June 15, 2012 in the United States District Court for the Western District of New York alleging that certain information technology employees allegedly involved in installing and/or maintaining computer software and hardware were misclassified as exempt employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act. On August 31, 2012, HP filed its answer to plaintiffs' complaint and filed counterclaims against two of the three named plaintiffs. Also on August 31, 2012, HP filed a motion to transfer venue to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. A hearing on HP's motion to transfer venue was scheduled for November 21, 2012, but was postponed by the court.

•

Karlbom, et al. v. Electronic Data Systems Corporation is a class action filed on March 16, 2009 in California Superior Court alleging facts similar to the Cunningham and Steavens matters. In March 2010, the court stayed the matter; that stay was lifted in October 2012.

•

Blake, et al. v. Hewlett-Packard Company is a purported nationwide collective action filed on February 17, 2011 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas claiming that a class of information technology support personnel were misclassified as exempt employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act. On February 10, 2012, plaintiffs filed a motion requesting that the court conditionally certify the case as a collective action. On July 11, 2013, the court denied plaintiffs' motion for conditional certification in its entirety. Only one opt-in plaintiff had joined the named plaintiff in the lawsuit at the time that the motion was filed.

•

Benedict v. Hewlett-Packard Company is a purported collective action filed on January 10, 2013 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California alleging that certain technical support employees allegedly involved in installing, maintaining and/or supporting computer software and/or hardware for HP were misclassified as exempt employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act. The plaintiff has also alleged that HP violated California law by, among other things, allegedly improperly classifying these employees as exempt. On September 20, 2013, the plaintiffs filed a motion for conditional class certification. On February 13, 2014, the court granted the plaintiff's motion for conditional class certification.

        State of South Carolina Department of Social Services Contract Dispute.    In October 2012, the State of South Carolina Department of Social Services and related government agencies ("SCDSS") filed a proceeding before South Carolina's Chief Procurement Officer ("CPO") against Hewlett-Packard State & Local Enterprise Services, Inc., a subsidiary of HP ("HPSLES"). The dispute arises from a contract between SCDSS and HPSLES for the design, implementation and maintenance of a Child Support Enforcement and a Family Court Case Management System (the "CFS System"). SCDSS seeks aggregate damages of approximately $275 million, a declaration that HPSLES is in material breach of the contract and, therefore, that termination of the contract for cause by SCDSS would be appropriate, and a declaration that HPSLES is required to perform certain additional disputed work that expands the scope of the original contract. In November 2012, HPSLES filed responsive pleadings asserting defenses and seeking payment of past-due invoices totaling more than $12 million. On July 10, 2013, SCDSS terminated the contract with HPSLES for cause, and, in its termination notice, SCDSS asserted

42

HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Continued)

(Unaudited)

Note 15: Litigation and Contingencies (Continued)

that HPSLES is responsible for all future federal penalties until the CFS System achieves federal certification, sought an immediate order requiring HPSLES to transfer to SCDSS all work completed and in progress, and indicated that it intends to seek suspension and debarment of HPSLES from contracting with the State of South Carolina. HPSLES is disputing the termination as improper and defective. In addition, on August 9, 2013, HPSLES filed its own affirmative claim within the proceeding alleging that SCDSS materially breached the contract by its improper termination and that SCDSS was a primary and material cause of the project delays. On September 4, 2013, the CPO denied SCDSS's motion for injunctive relief seeking immediate transfer of the system assets to SCDSS and indicated that the CPO would address that request following a hearing on the merits. The hearing on the merits before the CPO concluded on February 25, 2014. Proposed orders are due to be submitted on March 26, 2014, and closing arguments are scheduled for April 30, 2014.

        India Directorate of Revenue Intelligence Proceedings.    On April 30 and May 10, 2010, the India Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (the "DRI") issued show cause notices to Hewlett-Packard India Sales Private Ltd ("HPI"), a subsidiary of HP, seven then-current HP employees and one former HP employee alleging that HP underpaid customs duties while importing products and spare parts into India and seeking to recover an aggregate of approximately $370 million, plus penalties. Prior to the issuance of the show cause notices, HP deposited approximately $16 million with the DRI and agreed to post a provisional bond in exchange for the DRI's agreement to not seize HP products and spare parts and to not interrupt the transaction of business by HP in India.

        On April 11, 2012, the Bangalore Commissioner of Customs issued an order on the products-related show cause notice affirming certain duties and penalties against HPI and the named individuals of approximately $386 million, of which HPI had already deposited $9 million. On December 11, 2012, HPI voluntarily deposited an additional $10 million in connection with the products-related show cause notice.

        On April 20, 2012, the Commissioner issued an order on the parts-related show cause notice affirming certain duties and penalties against HPI and certain of the named individuals of approximately $17 million, of which HPI had already deposited $7 million. After the order, HPI deposited an additional $3 million in connection with the parts-related show cause notice so as to avoid certain penalties.

        HPI filed appeals of the Commissioner's orders before the Customs Tribunal along with applications for waiver of the pre-deposit of remaining demand amounts as a condition for hearing the appeals. The Customs Department has also filed cross-appeals before the Customs Tribunal. On January 24, 2013, the Customs Tribunal ordered HPI to deposit an additional $24 million against the products order, which HPI deposited in March 2013. The Customs Tribunal did not order any additional deposit to be made under the parts order. In December 2013, HPI filed applications before the Customs Tribunal seeking early hearing of the appeals as well as an extension of the stay of deposit as to HP and the individuals already granted until final disposition of the appeals. On February 7, 2014, the application for extension of the stay of deposit was granted by the Customs Tribunal until disposal of the appeals. A hearing has been set for June 10, 2014.

        Russia GPO and Other FCPA Investigations.    The German Public Prosecutor's Office ("German PPO") has been conducting an investigation into allegations that current and former employees of HP

43

HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Continued)

(Unaudited)

Note 15: Litigation and Contingencies (Continued)

engaged in bribery, embezzlement and tax evasion relating to a transaction between Hewlett-Packard ISE GmbH in Germany, a former subsidiary of HP, and the General Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation. The approximately €35 million transaction, which was referred to as the Russia GPO deal, spanned the years 2001 to 2006 and was for the delivery and installation of an IT network. The German PPO has issued an indictment of four individuals, including one current and two former HP employees, on charges including bribery, breach of trust and tax evasion. The German PPO has also requested that HP be made an associated party to the case, and, if that request is granted, HP would participate in any portion of the court proceedings that could ultimately bear on the question of whether HP should be subject to potential disgorgement of profits based on the conduct of the indicted current and former employees.

        The U.S. Department of Justice and the SEC have been conducting an investigation into the Russia GPO deal and potential violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"). These U.S. enforcement agencies, as well as the Polish Central Anti-Corruption Bureau, are also conducting investigations into potential FCPA violations by an employee of Hewlett-Packard Polska Sp. z o.o., an indirect subsidiary of HP, in connection with certain public-sector transactions in Poland. In addition, the same U.S. enforcement agencies are conducting investigations into certain other public-sector transactions in Russia, Poland, the Commonwealth of Independent States, and Mexico, among other countries.

        HP is cooperating with these investigating agencies and is in advanced discussions with the U.S. enforcement agencies to resolve their investigations.

        Under the FCPA, a person or an entity could be subject to fines, civil penalties of up to $725,000 per violation and equitable remedies, including disgorgement of profits, pre-judgment interest and other injunctive relief. In addition, criminal penalties could range from the greater of $25 million per violation or twice the gross pecuniary gain or loss from the violation.

        ECT Proceedings.    In January 2011, the postal service of Brazil, Empresa Brasileira de Correios e Telégrafos ("ECT"), notified an HP subsidiary in Brazil ("HP Brazil") that it had initiated administrative proceedings to consider whether to suspend HP Brazil's right to bid and contract with ECT related to alleged improprieties in the bidding and contracting processes whereby employees of HP Brazil and employees of several other companies allegedly coordinated their bids and fixed results for three ECT contracts in 2007 and 2008. In late July 2011, ECT notified HP Brazil it had decided to apply the penalties against HP Brazil and suspend HP Brazil's right to bid and contract with ECT for five years, based upon the evidence before it. In August 2011, HP Brazil appealed ECT's decision. In April 2013, ECT rejected HP Brazil's appeal, and the administrative proceedings were closed with the penalties against HP Brazil remaining in place. In parallel, in September 2011, HP Brazil filed a civil action against ECT seeking to have ETC's decision revoked. HP Brazil also requested an injunction suspending the application of the penalties until a final ruling on the merits of the case. The court of first instance has not issued a decision on the merits of the case, but it has denied HP Brazil's request for injunctive relief. HP Brazil appealed the denial of its request for injunctive relief to the intermediate appellate court, which issued a preliminary ruling denying the request for injunctive relief but reducing the length of the sanctions from five to two years. HP Brazil appealed that decision and, in December 2011, obtained a ruling staying enforcement of ECT's sanctions until a final ruling on the merits of the case. HP expects the court of first instance to issue a decision on the merits of the case

before the end of the first six months of calendar year 2014 and any subsequent appeal on the merits to last several years.

        Stockholder Litigation.    As described below, HP is involved in various stockholder litigation matters commenced against certain current and former HP executive officers and/or certain current and former members of HP's Board of Directors in which the plaintiffs are seeking to recover damages related to HP's allegedly inflated stock price, certain compensation paid by HP to the defendants, other damages and/or injunctive relief:

•

Saginaw Police & Fire Pension Fund v. Marc L. Andreessen, et al.  is a lawsuit filed on October 19, 2010 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California alleging, among other things, that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties and were unjustly enriched by consciously disregarding HP's alleged violations of the FCPA. On August 15, 2011, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. On March 21, 2012, the court granted the defendants' motion to dismiss, and the court entered judgment in the defendants' favor and closed the case on May 29, 2012. On June 28, 2012, the plaintiff filed an appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The appeal has been fully briefed. A new argument date has not yet been set.

Autonomy-Related Legal Matters

        Investigations.    As a result of the findings of an ongoing investigation, HP has provided information to the U.K. Serious Fraud Office, the U.S. Department of Justice and the SEC related to the accounting improprieties, disclosure failures and misrepresentations at Autonomy that occurred prior to and in connection with HP's acquisition of Autonomy. On November 21, 2012, representatives of the U.S. Department of Justice advised HP that they had opened an investigation relating to Autonomy. On February 6, 2013, representatives of the U.K. Serious Fraud Office advised HP that they had also opened an investigation relating to Autonomy. HP is cooperating with the three investigating agencies.

        Litigation.    As described below, HP is involved in various stockholder litigation relating to, among other things, its November 20, 2012 announcement that it recorded a non-cash charge for the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets within its Software segment of approximately $8.8 billion in the fourth quarter of its 2012 fiscal year and HP's statements that, based on HP's findings from an ongoing investigation, the majority of this impairment charge related to accounting improprieties, misrepresentations to the market and disclosure failures at Autonomy that occurred prior to and in connection with HP's acquisition of Autonomy and the impact of those improprieties, failures and misrepresentations on the expected future financial performance of the Autonomy business over the long term. This stockholder litigation was commenced against, among others, certain current and former HP executive officers, certain current and former members of HP's Board of Directors, and certain advisors to HP. The plaintiffs in these litigation matters are seeking to recover certain compensation paid by HP to the defendants and/or other damages. These matters include the following:

The lawsuits also allege that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties, wasted corporate assets and were unjustly enriched in connection with HP's acquisition of Autonomy and by causing HP to repurchase its own stock at allegedly inflated prices between August 2011 and October 2012. One lawsuit further alleges that certain individual defendants engaged in or assisted insider trading and thereby breached their fiduciary duties, were unjustly enriched and violated Sections 25402 and 25403 of the California Corporations Code. On May 3, 2013, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated complaint alleging, among other things, that the defendants concealed material information and made false statements related to HP's acquisition of Autonomy and Autonomy's IDOL technology and thereby violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, breached their fiduciary duties, engaged in "abuse of control" over HP and corporate waste and were unjustly enriched. The litigation was stayed by agreement until July 31, 2013. On July 30, 2013, HP filed a motion to further stay the litigation until HP's Board of Directors decides whether to pursue any of the claims asserted in the litigation or the court rules on HP's motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint in the In re HP Securities Litigation matter. The court extended the stay of the litigation until March 31, 2014.

Environmental

        HP's operations and products are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations concerning environmental protection, including laws addressing the discharge of pollutants into the air and water, the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes, the cleanup of contaminated sites, the content of HP's products and the recycling, treatment and disposal of those products. In particular, HP faces increasing complexity in its product design and procurement operations as it adjusts to new and future requirements relating to the chemical and materials composition of its products, their safe use, and the energy consumption associated with those products, including requirements relating to climate change. HP is also subject to legislation in an increasing number of jurisdictions that makes producers of electrical goods, including computers and printers, financially responsible for specified collection, recycling, treatment and disposal of past and future covered products (sometimes referred to as "product take-back legislation"). HP could incur substantial costs, its products could be restricted from entering certain jurisdictions, and it could face other sanctions, if it were to violate or become liable under environmental laws or if its products become non-compliant with environmental laws. HP's potential exposure includes fines and civil or criminal sanctions, third-party property damage or personal injury claims and clean-up costs. The amount and timing of costs to comply with environmental laws are difficult to predict.

        HP is party to, or otherwise involved in, proceedings brought by U.S. or state environmental agencies under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), known as "Superfund," or state laws similar to CERCLA, and may become a party to, or otherwise involved in, proceedings brought by private parties for contribution towards clean-up costs. HP is also conducting environmental investigations or remediations at several current or former operating sites pursuant to administrative orders or consent agreements with state environmental agencies.

        HP's operations are organized into seven reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: Personal Systems, Printing, the Enterprise Group, Enterprise Services, Software, HP Financial Services and Corporate Investments. HP's organizational structure is based on a number of factors that management uses to evaluate, view and run its business operations, which include, but are not limited to, customer base, homogeneity of products and technology. The reportable segments are based on this organizational structure and information reviewed by HP's management to evaluate segment results.

        The Personal Systems segment and the Printing segment are structured beneath a broader Printing and Personal Systems Group ("PPS"). While PPS is not a reportable segment, HP sometimes provides financial data aggregating the Personal Systems and the Printing segments within it in order to provide a supplementary view of its business.

        A description of the types of products and services provided by segment follows.

        The Printing and Personal Systems Group's mission is to leverage the respective strengths of the Personal Systems business and the Printing business by creating a unified business that is customer-focused and poised to capitalize on rapidly shifting industry trends.

Segment Data

        HP derives the results of the business segments directly from its internal management reporting system. The accounting policies HP uses to derive segment results are substantially the same as those the consolidated company uses. Management measures the performance of each segment based on several metrics, including earnings from operations. Management uses these results, in part, to evaluate the performance of, and to assign resources to, each of the segments.

        Segment revenue includes revenues from sales to external customers and intersegment revenues that reflect transactions between the segments that are carried out at an arm's-length transfer price. Intersegment revenues primarily consist of sales of hardware and software that are sourced internally and, in the majority of the cases, are classified as operating leases within HPFS. HP's consolidated net revenue is derived and reported after the elimination of intersegment revenues from such arrangements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

        Financing interest in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings reflects interest expense on debt attributable to HPFS. Debt attributable to HPFS consists of 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.

        HP does not allocate to its segments certain operating expenses, which it manages at the corporate level. These unallocated costs include certain corporate governance costs, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges and acquisition-related charges.

HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

Note 16: Segment Information (Continued)

        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:

•

transferring the HP Exstream business from the Commercial Hardware business unit within the Printing segment to the Software segment;

•

transferring the Personal Systems trade and warranty support business from the TS business unit within the EG segment to the Other business unit within the Personal Systems segment;

•

transferring the spare and replacement parts business supporting the Personal Systems and Printing segments from the TS business unit within the EG segment to the Other business unit within the Personal Systems segment and the Commercial Hardware business unit within the Printing segment, respectively;

•

transferring certain cloud-related incubation activities previously reported in Corporate and unallocated costs and eliminations and in the EG segment to the Corporate Investments segment.

        In addition, HP transferred certain intrasegment eliminations from the ES segment and the EG segment to corporate intersegment revenue eliminations.

        HP has reflected these changes to its segment information in prior periods on an as-if basis, which has resulted in the transfer of revenue among the Printing, Personal Systems, EG, ES and Software segments and the transfer of operating profit among the Printing, Personal Systems, EG, Software and Corporation Investments segments. These changes had no impact on the previously reported financial results for the HPFS segment. In addition, none of these changes impacted HP's previously reported consolidated net revenue, earnings from operations, net earnings or net earnings per share. The organizational changes did not have a material effect on segment assets.

        There have been no material changes to the total assets of HP's individual segments since October 31, 2013.

        This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") is organized as follows:

•

Overview.  A discussion of our business and overall analysis of financial and other highlights affecting the company to provide context for the remainder of MD&A.

•

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.  A discussion of accounting estimates that we believe are important to understanding the assumptions and judgments incorporated in our reported financial results.

•

Results of Operations.  An analysis of our financial results comparing the three months ended January 31, 2014 to the prior-year period. A discussion of results of operations at the consolidated level is followed by a more detailed discussion of results of operations by segment.

"NM" represents not meaningful.

        Net revenue declined 0.7% (increased 0.3% on a constant currency basis) in the three months ended January 31, 2014, as compared to the prior-year period. The leading contributor to the net revenue decline was key account runoff in ES and unfavorable currency impacts, particularly weakness in the Japanese yen. Partially offsetting the net revenue decline was growth in Personal Systems commercial PCs as well as the sale of a portfolio of mobile computing intellectual property ("IP") which benefited the Corporate Investments segment and to a lesser extent Personal Systems. Gross margin increased by 0.5 percentage points in the three months ended January 31, 2014 due primarily to the sale of IP, gross margin improvement in Printing due to favorable currency impacts along with a favorable inkjet supplies mix, and service delivery efficiencies in ES. At the same time, we continue to experience gross margin pressures resulting from a competitive pricing environment across each of our hardware segments. Operating margin increased by 0.9 percentage points in the three months ended January 31, 2014 due primarily to the gross margin increase, lower selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses and lower levels of intangible asset amortization. The decline in SG&A was due primarily to a gain from the sale of real estate and cost savings associated with our ongoing restructuring efforts, partially offset by higher litigation-related reserves.

        Our business continues to produce significant cash flow from operations, generating $3.0 billion in the three months ended January 31, 2014. Additionally, we issued $2.0 billion of long-term debt, made a $547 million net investment in property, plant and equipment, repurchased $565 million worth of common stock, and returned $278 million to stockholders through dividends. As of January 31, 2014, our investment portfolio was $16.4 billion, consisting of cash and cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments, which was an increase of approximately $3.9 billion from the October 31, 2013 balance of $12.5 billion.

        As we entered fiscal 2014, we continued to experience challenges that represent trends and uncertainties that may affect our business and results of operations. One set of challenges relates to continuing dynamic and accelerating market trends. Another set of challenges relates to changes in the competitive landscape. Our major competitors are expanding their product and service offerings with integrated products and solutions, our business-specific competitors are exerting increased competitive pressure in targeted areas and are going after new markets, our emerging competitors are introducing new technologies and business models, and our alliance partners in some businesses are increasingly becoming our competitors in others. A third set of challenges relates to business model changes and

58

our go-to-market execution. In addition, we are continuing to experience macroeconomic weakness across many geographic regions. A discussion of some of these challenges at the segment level is set forth below.

•

In Personal Systems, we continue to be negatively impacted by the market shift towards tablet products within mobility products, which has reduced the demand for consumer and notebook products. If benefits from our new product investments in this area do not materialize, we will continue to be negatively impacted by this trend. Personal Systems is also being impacted by consumer demand weakness and a competitive pricing environment. However, the pace of market contraction is slowing with signs of stabilization. In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, Personal Systems revenue increased due to growth in commercial PCs, particularly notebooks.

•

In Printing, we are experiencing the impact of the growth in mobility, weak consumer demand as well as an overall competitive pricing environment. To be successful in addressing these challenges, we need to execute on our key initiatives of focusing on products targeted at high usage categories, developing emerging market opportunities, and introducing new revenue delivery models to consumer customers.

•

In EG, we are experiencing revenue growth challenges due to multiple market trends and a highly competitive pricing environment, including the increasing demand for hyperscale computing infrastructure products and the transition to cloud computing. In addition, the market for our Business Critical Systems ("BCS") products continues to weaken as the overall market for UNIX products and services contracts. To be successful in overcoming these challenges, we must address business model shifts and go-to-market execution challenges, including improved channel execution, and continue to pursue new product innovation, such as HP Moonshot servers, 3PAR storage and the HP CloudSystem and in areas such as software-defined networking, blade servers and wireless networking.

•

In ES, we are facing internal execution challenges, pressured public sector spending, a competitive pricing environment, and market and macroeconomic pressures. To be successful in addressing these challenges, we must execute on our multi-year turnaround plan, which includes a cost reduction initiative to align our costs to our revenue trajectory and initiatives targeted at improved execution in the areas of sales performance and accountability, contracting practices and pricing.

•

In Software, we are facing multiple challenges, including the market shift to SaaS and go-to-market execution challenges. To be successful in addressing these challenges, we must improve our go-to-market execution with integrated customer solutions more aligned to customer demand and achieve broader integration across our overall product portfolio as we work to capitalize on the important market opportunities in the areas of cloud, big data, security and mobility.

        To address these challenges, we continue to pursue new product innovation with a view towards developing new products and services aligned with market demand, industry trends and the needs of our customers and partners. In addition, we need to continue to improve our operations, with a particular focus on enhancing our end-to-end processes and efficiencies. We also need to continue to optimize our sales coverage models, align our sales incentives with our strategic goals, improve channel execution, strengthen our capabilities in our areas of strategic focus, and develop and capitalize on market opportunities.

        For a further discussion of trends, uncertainties and other factors that could impact our operating results, see the section entitled "Risk Factors" in Item 1A, which is incorporated herein by reference.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

        Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based on our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent liabilities. Management believes that there have been no significant changes during the three months ended January 31, 2014 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

        For a summary of recent accounting pronouncements applicable to our consolidated condensed financial statements see Note 1 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1, which is incorporated herein by reference.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        Set forth below is an analysis of our financial results comparing the three months ended January 31, 2014 to the three months ended January 31, 2013. Unless otherwise noted, all comparative performance data included below reflect year-over-year comparisons.

        Revenue from our international operations has historically represented, and we expect will continue to represent, a majority of our overall net revenue. As a result, our revenue growth has been impacted, and we expect will continue to be impacted, by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. In order to provide a framework for assessing how each of our segments performed excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, we present the year-over-year percentage change in revenue on a constant currency basis, which assumes no change in the exchange rate from the prior-year period. This information is provided so that revenue can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates, which is consistent with how management evaluates our operational results and trends. This constant currency disclosure is provided in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the year-over-year percentage change in revenue on a GAAP basis. Other companies may calculate and define similarly labeled items differently, which may limit the usefulness of this measure for comparative purposes.

Net Revenue

        For the three months ended January 31, 2014, total HP net revenue decreased 0.7% (increased 0.3% on a constant currency basis). U.S. net revenue decreased 4.7% to $9.7 billion, while net revenue from outside of the United States increased 1.5% to $18.5 billion. The net revenue decline was due primarily to key account revenue runoff in ES and unfavorable currency impacts, particularly weakness in the Japanese yen, partially offset by increased commercial revenue in Personal Systems and net revenue in Corporate Investments from the sale of IP.

        The components of the weighted net revenue change were as follows:

	Three months ended January 31, 2014
	Percentage Points
Enterprise Services		(1.6	)
Printing		(0.5	)
HP Financial Services		(0.3	)
Software		(0.1	)
Enterprise Group		0.2
Corporate Investments/Other		0.5
Personal Systems		1.1
Total HP		(0.7	)

61

        From a segment perspective, the primary factors contributing to the revenue change are summarized as follows:

•

ES net revenue declined due primarily to key account revenue runoff, contractual price declines in ongoing contracts and unfavorable currency impacts;

•

Printing net revenue declined due to lower volumes of toner supplies, lower average revenue per unit ("ARUs") and unfavorable currency impacts;

•

HPFS net revenue decreased due primarily to lower buyout activity, lower rental revenue from a decrease in average operating lease assets, along with lower finance income from a decrease in average finance lease assets;

•

Software net revenue declined due primarily to the overall market and customer shift to SaaS which is impacting growth in license and support;

•

EG net revenue increased due primarily to improved demand in the Industry Standard Servers ("ISS") and Networking business units;

•

Corporate Investments net revenue increased due to the sale of IP; and

•

Personal Systems net revenue increased due to growth in commercial PCs.

        A more detailed discussion of segment revenue is included under "Segment Information" below.

Gross Margin

        Our total gross margin increased 0.5 percentage points for the three months ended January 31, 2014. Gross margin increased across all of our segments, except EG and Personal Systems. The primary factors impacting gross margin performance for each of our segments are summarized as follows:

•

ES gross margin increased due primarily to service delivery efficiencies;

•

Printing gross margin increased due primarily to favorable currency impacts from the Japanese yen and a higher mix of ink and graphics supplies;

•

HPFS gross margin increased due primarily to higher portfolio margin from a lower cost of funds, higher margins on asset management activity, along with lower bad debt expense;

•

Corporate Investments gross margin increased due to the sale of IP;

•

Software gross margin increased due primarily to a higher mix of support revenue and lower mix of lower-margin professional services revenue;

•

EG experienced a gross margin decline due primarily to competitive pricing pressures and higher memory component costs; and

•

Personal Systems experienced a gross margin decline due primarily to increased memory component costs and unfavorable currency impacts.

        A more detailed discussion of segment gross margins and operating margins is included under "Segment Information" below.

Operating Expenses

        Research and Development

        Research and development ("R&D") expense increased in the three months ended January 31, 2014 as we continue to invest in innovation in our strategic focus areas such as cloud, and across many of our business segments.

62

        Selling, General and Administrative

        Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense decreased in the three months ended January 31, 2014 due primarily to a gain from the sale of real estate and cost savings associated with our ongoing restructuring efforts. The decrease was partially offset by higher litigation reserves and investments in system and tools.

        Amortization of Intangible Assets

        Amortization expense decreased for the three months ended January 31, 2014 due primarily to certain intangible assets associated with prior acquisitions reaching the end of their amortization periods.

        Restructuring

        Restructuring charges decreased for the three months ended January 31, 2014, due primarily to lower charges in the current period from the 2012 Plan. In addition, the prior-year period benefited from a reversal of severance charges related to other restructuring plans.

Interest and Other, Net

        Interest and other, net expense decreased by $16 million for the three months ended January 31, 2014. The decrease was driven primarily by lower interest expense due to a lower average debt balance and the prior-year period containing a higher net loss on investments, partially offset by higher currency transaction losses.

Provision for Taxes

        Our effective tax rate was 22.3% and 21.7% for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and January 31, 2013, respectively. Our effective tax rate generally differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% due to favorable tax rates associated with certain earnings from our operations in lower-tax jurisdictions throughout the world. We have not provided U.S. taxes for all foreign earnings because we plan to reinvest some of those earnings indefinitely outside the United States.

        In the three months ended January 31, 2014, we recorded $22 million of net tax charges related to discrete items. These amounts included $37 million of various tax charges and $15 million of tax benefits on restructuring charges.

63

        In the three months ended January 31, 2013, we recorded $5 million of net tax charges related to discrete items. These amounts consisted primarily of a tax charge of $150 million related to a past uncertain tax position offset by approximately $50 million of various adjustments to estimated tax provisions of foreign jurisdictions as well as $45 million of benefits associated with restructuring charges, and various uncertain tax positions and valuation allowance adjustments. In addition, in January 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 was signed into law. We recorded a tax benefit of $50 million arising from the retroactive R&D credit provided by that legislation in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Segment Information

        A description of the products and services for each segment can be found in Note 16 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1, which is incorporated herein by reference. Future changes to this organizational structure may result in changes to the segments disclosed.

        Effective at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we implemented certain organizational changes to align the segment financial reporting more closely with our current business structure. These organizational changes include:

•

transferring the HP Exstream business from the Commercial Hardware business unit within the Printing segment to the Software segment;

•

transferring the Personal Systems trade and warranty support business from the Technology Services ("TS") business unit within the EG segment to the Other business unit within the Personal Systems segment;

•

transferring the spare and replacement parts business supporting the Personal Systems and Printing segments from the TS business unit within the EG segment to the Other business unit within the Personal Systems segment and the Commercial Hardware business unit within the Printing segment, respectively; and

•

transferring certain cloud-related incubation activities previously reported in Corporate and unallocated costs and eliminations and in the EG segment to the Corporate Investments segment.

        In addition, we transferred certain intrasegment eliminations from the ES segment and the EG segment to corporate intersegment revenue eliminations.

        None of these changes impacted our previously reported consolidated net revenue, earnings from operations, net earnings or net earnings per share.

Printing and Personal Systems Group

        The Personal Systems segment and the Printing segment are structured beneath a broader Printing and Personal Systems Group ("PPS"). We describe the results of the segments within the Printing and Personal Systems Group below.

Personal Systems

	Percentage Points
Notebook PCs		2.5
Other		1.7
Workstations		—
Desktop PCs		(0.6	)
Total Personal Systems		3.6

        Personal Systems net revenue increased 3.6% (increased 4.6% on a constant currency basis) for the three months ended January 31, 2014. While the Personal Systems business continues to experience significant challenges due to the market shift towards mobility products, the pace of PC market contraction is slowing with signs of stabilization. As a result, revenue increased due to growth in commercial PCs, particularly notebooks. While Personal Systems revenue growth was flat in the Americas region, the business experienced areas of revenue growth both in EMEA and Asia Pacific. The increase in Personal Systems revenue was driven by a 6% increase in unit volume partially offset by a 3% decline in ASPs. The unit volume increase was led by unit growth in commercial notebooks, desktops and Thin Client products. The decline in ASPs was due primarily to unfavorable currency impacts and a higher mix of consumer tablets. For the three months ended January 31, 2014, net revenue for commercial clients increased 8% and decreased 3% for consumer clients. Net revenue for Notebook PCs increased 5%, while Desktop PCs declined 1%. Net revenue growth in Workstations was flat. Net revenue growth in Other benefited from the sale of IP.

        Personal Systems earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue increased 0.5 percentage points for the three months ended January 31, 2014. The increase was driven by a decline in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue and partially offset by a decline in gross margin. The decline in gross margin was primarily due to increased memory component costs and unfavorable currency impacts. Partially offsetting these unfavorable impacts to gross margin were benefits from the sale of IP and favorable pricing in commercial PCs. Operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue decreased due primarily to continued cost management resulting from our restructuring efforts and lower marketing expense, the effects of which were partially offset by increased R&D investments in mobility and commercial managed IT.

Consumer Hardware		(0.1	)
Total Printing		(2.2	)

        Printing net revenue decreased 2.2% (decreased 1.1% on a constant currency basis) for the three months ended January 31, 2014. Each of the business units within Printing experienced a revenue decline led by the Supplies business unit. Net revenue for Supplies decreased by 3% for the three months ended January 31, 2014 due to soft demand, a competitive pricing environment and unfavorable currency impacts driven primarily by weakness in the euro. The decline in Supplies was led by toner and partially offset by growth in ink and large format printing supplies. Printer unit volumes increased by 5% while average revenue per unit ("ARU") decreased by 5%. The unit volume increase reflects the continuation of our investment to increase the installed base with a focus on multifunction printers, Ink in the Office and Ink Advantage products. The decline in ARU was due to a competitive pricing environment, unfavorable mix and unfavorable currency impacts. Net revenue for Commercial Hardware decreased 2% driven by a 7% decline in ARU partially offset by a 6% increase in unit volume. The ARU decline in Commercial Hardware was due to higher discounting resulting from a competitive pricing environment and unfavorable mix. The volume increase reflects the overall market increase and growth with our investments in multifunction printers and managed print services. Net revenue for Consumer Hardware decreased 1% driven by a 2% decline in ARU, the effect of which was partially offset by a 4% increase in unit volume. The ARU decline was driven by increased discounts due to a competitive pricing environment. The unit volume increase in Consumer Hardware was due to our continued investment in placing units that drive long-term economic value.

        Printing earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue increased by 0.5 percentage points for the three months ended January 31, 2014 due to an increase in gross margin partially offset by higher operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue. The gross margin increase was due to favorable currency impacts from the Japanese yen and a favorable mix from a higher proportion of ink and graphics supplies revenues. Operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue increased primarily due to investments in R&D and increased field selling costs resulting from investments in sales force specialists.

        EG net revenue increased 0.6% (increased 1.5% on a constant currency basis) in the three months ended January 31, 2014 due primarily to net revenue growth in ISS and Networking. ISS net revenue increased by 6% due primarily to increased hyperscale server sales that was partially offset by decline in our core mainstream products. Networking net revenue increased by 4% due to higher demand for our switching products with particular growth in the U.S. market. Storage net revenue was flat, as we continue to manage the transition from traditional to Converged Storage. We experienced revenue growth in Converged Storage solutions, which include our 3PAR StoreServ, StoreOnce, StoreVirtual and StoreAll products, the effects of which were offset by revenue declines in traditional storage products, which include our tape, storage networking, and legacy external disk products. BCS net revenue decreased by 25% as a result of ongoing pressures from the decline in the overall UNIX market. We continue to experience competitive pricing pressures across each of our hardware businesses. TS net revenue decreased by 4% due primarily to unfavorable currency impacts and a continued reduction in support for BCS products, partially offset by higher revenue in consulting.

        EG earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue decreased by 1.0 percentage points in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 primarily driven by a decrease in gross margin, partially offset by lower operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue. The gross margin decrease was driven by ISS due to competitive pricing pressures and higher memory component costs. Cost saving initiatives in TS partially offset the gross margin decline. The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue was due primarily to lower R&D and field selling costs. R&D expenses as a percentage of net revenue decreased due primarily to increased benefits from cost-sharing programs and a value-added tax subsidy credit, both of which resulted in a decline in R&D expense, partially offset by an increase in investment towards networking technology. The decline in field selling costs as a percentage of net revenue was due primarily to continued cost savings.

        ES net revenue decreased 7.3% (decreased 6.2% on a constant currency basis) for the three months ended January 31, 2014. Performance in ES continues to be challenged by weak public-sector spending in the United States along with austerity measures in other countries and weak IT services spend due to the mixed global recovery. The net revenue decrease in ES was driven primarily by net service revenue runoff in key accounts, contractual price declines, unfavorable currency impacts, and weak growth in new and existing accounts. Net revenue in ITO decreased by 9% due to key account net service revenue runoff along with contractual price declines in ongoing contracts. Net revenue in ABS declined by 4% due to net service revenue runoff in key accounts and unfavorable currency impacts. Net revenue declines in ABS were partially offset by growth in cloud and information management and analytics service revenue.

        ES earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue decreased by 0.3 percentage points for the three months ended January 31, 2014. The decrease was due to an increase in operating expense as a percentage of net revenue, partially offset by an increase in gross margin. Gross margin increased due primarily to our continued focus on improving service delivery efficiencies. Partially offsetting the increase to gross margin were unfavorable impacts from key account revenue runoff and contractual price declines. The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue was driven by the size of the revenue decline and higher administrative expenses and field selling costs. The increase in administrative expense was driven by the prior-year period containing higher bad debt recoveries. The increase in field selling costs was due to higher headcount as a result of expanding the sales force coverage as we move from reactive to proactive sales.

        Software net revenue decreased 3.7% (decreased 3.0% on a constant currency basis) for the three months ended January 31, 2014. Revenue growth in Software is being challenged by the overall market and customer shift to SaaS solutions which is impacting growth in license and support revenue. Net revenue from licenses, professional services and support decreased 6%, 12% and 2%, respectively, while net revenue from SaaS increased 6%. The decline in license revenue was due primarily to the market and customer shift to SaaS solutions. The decline in professional services revenue was due to our continued management of this portfolio to focus on higher-margin solutions. The decline in support revenue was due to past declines in license revenue. These declines were partially offset by revenue growth in SaaS, as we continue to shift with the market to providing more SaaS solutions.

        For the three months ended January 31, 2014, Software earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue decreased by 0.5 percentage points. The decrease was due to an increase in operating expense as a percentage of net revenue, partially offset by an increase in gross margin. The increase in gross margin was due primarily to a higher mix of support revenue and lower mix of lower-margin

68

professional services revenue, along with rate improvement in professional services. The increase in operating expense as a percentage of net revenue was due primarily to R&D investments partially offset by lower field selling costs due to cost savings associated with our ongoing restructuring efforts.

        HPFS net revenue decreased by 9.1% (decreased 8.1% on a constant currency basis) for the three months ended January 31, 2014. The net revenue decrease was due primarily to lower buyout activity, lower operating and finance lease volumes over the past year and unfavorable currency impacts.

        HPFS earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue increased by 1.0 percentage point for the three months ended January 31, 2014 due primarily to an increase in gross margin, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue resulting from higher field selling costs. The increase in gross margin was the result of higher portfolio margin primarily from a lower cost of funds, higher margins on asset management activity, and lower bad debt expense.

        New financing volume, which represents the amount of financing provided to customers for equipment and related software and services, including intercompany activity, increased 18.1% for the three months ended January 31, 2014. The increase was driven by higher financing associated with HP product sales and related services offerings, partially offset by unfavorable currency impacts.

Portfolio Assets and Ratios

        The HPFS business model is asset intensive and uses certain internal metrics to measure its performance against other financial services companies, including a segment balance sheet that is derived from our internal management reporting system. The accounting policies used to derive these amounts are substantially the same as those used by the consolidated company. However, intercompany loans and certain accounts that are reflected in the segment balances are eliminated in our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

        The portfolio assets and ratios derived from the segment balance sheet for HPFS were as follows:

	January 31, 2014			October 31, 2013

⁽¹⁾

Portfolio assets include gross financing receivables of $6.9 billion and $7.2 billion at January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, respectively, and net equipment under operating leases of $2.3 billion at January 31, 2014 and $2.4 billion at October 31, 2013, respectively. Portfolio assets also include capitalized profit on intercompany equipment transactions of approximately $0.7 billion at both January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, and intercompany leases of $2.2 billion at January 31, 2014 and $2.1 billion at October 31, 2013, respectively, which are eliminated in consolidation.

⁽²⁾

Allowance for doubtful accounts includes both the short-term and the long-term portions of the allowance on financing receivables.

⁽³⁾

Debt attributable to HPFS consists of 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. At January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, debt attributable to HPFS totaled $10.7 billion and $10.8 billion, respectively. HPFS equity at both January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013 was $1.5 billion. We believe HPFS' debt-to-equity ratio is comparable to that of other similar financing companies.

        At January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, HPFS cash balances were approximately $751 million and $697 million, respectively.

        Net portfolio assets at January 31, 2014 decreased 3.1% from October 31, 2013. The decrease resulted from lower levels of new financing volume, early customer buyouts and unfavorable currency impacts.

        For the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, HPFS recorded net bad debt expenses and operating lease equipment reserves of $11 million and $15 million, respectively.

        Net revenue in Corporate Investments increased primarily due to the sale of IP related to the Palm acquisition.

        The increase in earnings from operations in Corporate Investments was due to the sale of IP. The benefit from the sale of IP was partially offset by other costs and expenses in Corporate Investments

70

resulting from activities in HP Labs, certain incubation projects, corporate strategy, and global alliances.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        We use cash generated by operations as our primary source of liquidity. We believe that internally generated cash flows are generally sufficient to support our operating businesses, capital expenditures, restructuring activities, maturing debt, income tax payments and the payment of stockholder dividends, in addition to discretionary investments and share repurchases. We are able to supplement this short-term liquidity, if necessary, with broad access to capital markets and credit line facilities made available by various domestic and foreign financial institutions. Our access to capital markets may be constrained and our cost of borrowing may increase under certain business, market and economic conditions; however, our use of a variety of funding sources to meet our liquidity needs is designed to facilitate continued access to capital resources under all such conditions.

        Our cash balances are held in numerous locations throughout the world, with substantially all of those amounts held outside of the United States. We utilize a variety of planning and financing strategies in an effort to ensure that our worldwide cash is available when and where it is needed. Our cash position remains strong, and we expect that our cash balances, anticipated cash flow generated from operations and access to capital markets will be sufficient to cover our expected near-term cash outlays.

        Amounts held outside of the United States are generally utilized to support non-U.S. liquidity needs, although a portion of those amounts may from time to time be subject to short-term intercompany loans into the United States. Most of the amounts held outside of the United States could be repatriated to the United States but, under current law, would be subject to U.S. federal income taxes, less applicable foreign tax credits. Repatriation of some foreign balances is restricted by local law. Except for foreign earnings that are considered indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States, we have provided for the U.S. federal tax liability on these earnings for financial statement purposes. Repatriation could result in additional income tax payments in future years. Where local restrictions prevent an efficient intercompany transfer of funds, our intent is that cash balances would remain outside of the United States and we would meet liquidity needs through ongoing cash flows, external borrowings, or both. We do not expect restrictions or potential taxes incurred on repatriation of amounts held outside of the United States to have a material effect on our overall liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.

FINANCIAL CONDITION (Sources and Uses of Cash)

Operating Activities

        Compared to the corresponding period in 2013, net cash provided by operating activities increased by $0.4 billion for the three months ended January 31, 2014. The increase was due primarily to improvements in working capital management.

71

        Our working capital management depends upon effectively managing the cash conversion cycle, which represents the number of days that elapse from the day we pay for the purchase of inventory to the collection of cash from our customers. Our key working capital metrics are as follows:

	Three months ended January 31
	2014			2013
Days of sales outstanding in accounts receivable		43			45
Days of supply in inventory		25			26
Days of purchases outstanding in accounts payable.		(52	)		(48	)
Cash conversion cycle		16			23

        Days of sales outstanding in accounts receivable ("DSO") measures the average number of days our receivables are outstanding. DSO is calculated by dividing ending accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, by a 90-day average net revenue. Our accounts receivable balance was $13.5 billion as of January 31, 2014. The decrease in DSO was due primarily to improved collections and a decline in extended payment terms volume.

        Days of supply in inventory ("DOS") measures the average number of days from procurement to sale of our product. DOS is calculated by dividing ending inventory by a 90-day average cost of goods sold. Our inventory balance was $6.0 billion as of January 31, 2014. The decrease in DOS was due to lower inventory balances, relative to the rate of decline in cost of goods sold, in most segments as of January 31, 2014.

        Days of purchases outstanding in accounts payable ("DPO") measures the average number of days our accounts payable balances are outstanding. DPO is calculated by dividing ending accounts payable by a 90-day average cost of goods sold. Our accounts payable balance was $12.6 billion as of January 31, 2014. The increase in DPO was primarily driven by favorable payment term changes.

        The cash conversion cycle for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 is below what we expect to be a long-term sustainable rate.

Investing Activities

        Compared to the corresponding period in 2013, net cash used in investing activities decreased by $0.4 billion for the three months ended January 31, 2014, due primarily to an increase in cash generated from sales and maturities of available-for-sale securities and other investments and lower cash utilization in the purchase of available-for-sale securities and other investments.

Financing Activities

        Compared to the corresponding period in 2013, net cash provided by financing activities increased by $1.9 billion for the three months ended January 31, 2014, due primarily to $2.0 billion in proceeds from the issuance of U.S. Dollar Global Notes, partially offset by higher cash paid for repurchases of common stock.

        For more information on our share repurchase programs, see Note 13 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1, which is incorporated herein by reference.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Debt Levels

        We maintain debt levels that we establish through consideration of a number of factors, including cash flow expectations, cash requirements for operations, investment plans (including acquisitions), share repurchase activities, overall cost of capital and targeted capital structure. Outstanding

72

borrowings increased to $24.6 billion as of January 31, 2014, as compared to $22.6 billion at October 31, 2013, bearing weighted-average interest rates of 2.9% and 3.0%, respectively. During the first three months of fiscal 2014, we issued $2.0 billion of U.S. Dollar Global Notes under the 2012 Shelf Registration Statement. We also issued and repaid $0.2 billion of commercial paper during the first three months of fiscal 2014.

        During the next four fiscal quarters, $5.5 billion of U.S. Dollar Global Notes are scheduled to mature, of which $2.0 billion was repaid in March 2014 and $2.5 billion is scheduled to mature in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. For more information on our borrowings, see Note 11 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1, which is incorporated herein by reference.

        Our weighted-average interest rate reflects the average effective rate on our borrowings prevailing during the period and reflects the impact of interest rate swaps. For more information on our interest rate swaps, see Note 8 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Available Borrowing Resources

        At January 31, 2014, we had the following resources available to obtain short-term or long-term financings⁽¹⁾:

For more information on our available borrowing resources, see Note 11 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Credit Ratings

        Our credit risk is evaluated by major independent rating agencies based upon publicly available information as well as information obtained in our ongoing discussions with them. Our credit ratings did not change during the first quarter of fiscal 2014, and as of January 31, 2014 were:

	Standard & Poor's Ratings Services		Moody's Investors Service		Fitch Ratings Services
Short-term debt ratings		A-2		Prime-2		F2
Long-term debt ratings		BBB+		Baa1		A-

        In November 2012, our credit ratings were assigned a negative outlook by Moody's Investors Service. While we do not have any rating downgrade triggers that would accelerate the maturity of a material amount of our debt, previous downgrades have increased the cost of borrowing under our credit facilities, have reduced market capacity for our commercial paper and have required the posting of additional collateral under some of our derivative contracts. In addition, any further downgrade in our credit ratings by any of these rating agencies may further impact us in a similar manner, and, depending on the extent of the downgrade, could have a negative impact on our liquidity and capital position. We expect to rely on alternative sources of funding, including drawdowns under our credit facilities or the issuance of debt or other securities under our existing 2012 Shelf Registration Statement, if necessary to offset reductions in the market capacity for our commercial paper.

CONTRACTUAL AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS

Contractual Obligations

        For contractual obligations see "Contractual and Other Obligations" in Item 7 of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, which is incorporated herein by reference. Our contractual obligations have not changed materially since October 31, 2013, except for the issuance of $2.0 billion of U.S. Dollar Global Notes which mature in 2019 and its related interest.

Retirement and Post-Retirement Benefit Plan Funding

        During the remainder of fiscal 2014, HP anticipates making contributions of approximately $545 million to its non-U.S. pension plans, expects to pay approximately $27 million to cover benefit payments to its U.S. non-qualified plan participants and expects to pay approximately $83 million to cover benefit claims under HP's post-retirement benefit plans. Our policy is to fund our pension plans so that we meet at least the minimum contribution requirements, as established by local government, funding and taxing authorities. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1, which is incorporated herein by reference, for additional information on our retirement and post-retirement benefit plans.

Restructuring Plans

        We expect future cash expenditures of approximately $1.6 billion in connection with our approved restructuring plans. We expect to make cash payments of approximately $1.1 billion during the remainder of fiscal 2014 with remaining cash payments to be made through fiscal 2021. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1, which is incorporated herein by reference, for additional information on our restructuring activities.

Uncertain Tax Positions

        At January 31, 2014, we had approximately $3.0 billion of recorded liabilities and related interest and penalties pertaining to uncertain tax positions. These liabilities and related interest and penalties include $111 million expected to be paid within one year. For the remaining amount, we are unable to make a reasonable estimate as to when cash settlement with the tax authorities might occur due to the uncertainties related to these tax matters. Payments of these obligations would result from settlements with taxing authorities. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1, which is incorporated herein by reference, for additional information on our uncertain tax positions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        As part of our ongoing business, we have not participated in transactions that generate material relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

        We have third-party financing arrangements consisting of revolving short-term financing intended to facilitate the working capital requirements of certain customers. The total aggregate maximum capacity of the facilities was $1.4 billion as of January 31, 2014, including an aggregate maximum capacity of $0.8 billion in non-recourse facilities and a $0.6 billion partial-recourse facility. For more information on our third-party financing arrangements, see Note 4 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1, which is incorporated herein by reference.

FACTORS THAT COULD AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

        Because of the following factors, as well as other variables affecting our operating results, past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods.

If we are unsuccessful at addressing our business challenges, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected and our ability to invest in and grow our business could be limited.

        We are in the process of addressing many challenges facing our business. One set of challenges relates to dynamic and accelerating market trends, such as the decline in the PC market, the growth of multi-architecture devices running competing operating systems, the market shift towards tablets within mobility products, the market shift to cloud-related infrastructure, software, and services, and the growth in software-as-a-service business models. Another set of challenges relates to changes in the competitive landscape. Our major competitors are expanding their product and service offerings with integrated products and solutions; our business-specific competitors are exerting increased competitive pressure in targeted areas and are going after new markets; our emerging competitors are introducing new technologies and business models; and our alliance partners in some businesses are increasingly becoming our competitors in others. A third set of challenges relates to business model and go-to-market execution. In addition, we have faced and may continue to face a series of significant macroeconomic challenges, including weakness across many geographic regions, particularly in the United States, Western and Northern Europe, and certain countries and businesses in Asia. We may experience delays in the anticipated timing of activities related to these efforts and higher than expected or unanticipated execution costs. In addition, we are vulnerable to increased risks associated with these efforts given our large portfolio of businesses, the broad range of geographic regions in which we and our customers and partners operate, and the integration of acquired businesses. If we do not succeed in these efforts, or if these efforts are more costly or time-consuming than expected, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected, which could limit our ability to invest in and grow our business.

        In May 2012, we announced a company-wide restructuring plan expected to be implemented through the end of fiscal 2014. The restructuring plan includes both voluntary early retirement programs and non-voluntary workforce reductions. Significant risks associated with these actions that may impair our ability to achieve anticipated cost reductions or that may otherwise harm our business include delays in implementation of anticipated workforce reductions in highly regulated locations outside of the United States, particularly in Europe and Asia, decreases in employee morale and the failure to meet operational targets due to the loss of employees. In addition, our ability to achieve the anticipated cost savings and other benefits from these actions within the expected time frame is subject to many estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions are subject to significant economic, competitive and other uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. If these estimates and assumptions are incorrect, if we experience delays, or if other unforeseen events occur, our business and financial results could be adversely affected.

Competitive pressures could harm our revenue, gross margin and prospects.

        We encounter aggressive competition from numerous and varied competitors in all areas of our business, and our competitors may target our key market segments. We compete primarily on the basis of technology, performance, price, quality, reliability, brand, reputation, distribution, range of products and services, ease of use of our products, account relationships, customer training, service and support, security, availability of application software, and internet infrastructure offerings. If our products, services, support and cost structure do not enable us to compete successfully based on any of those criteria, our results of operations and prospects could be harmed.

75

        We have a large portfolio of businesses and must allocate resources across all of those businesses while competing with companies that have much smaller portfolios or specialize in one or more of these product lines. As a result, we may invest less in certain areas of our businesses than our competitors do, and these competitors may have greater financial, technical and marketing resources available to them than our businesses that compete against them. Industry consolidation also may affect competition by creating larger, more homogeneous and potentially stronger competitors in the markets in which we compete, and our competitors also may affect our business by entering into exclusive arrangements with existing or potential customers or suppliers.

        Companies with whom we have alliances in some areas may be competitors in other areas. In addition, companies with whom we have alliances also may acquire or form alliances with our competitors, which could reduce their business with us. If we are unable to effectively manage these complicated relationships with alliance partners, our cash flows and results of operations could be adversely affected.

        We face aggressive price competition for our products and services and, as a result, we may have to continue lowering the price of many of our products and services to stay competitive, while at the same time trying to maintain or improve revenue and gross margin. In addition, competitors who have a greater presence in some of the lower-cost markets in which we compete may be able to offer lower prices than we are able to offer. Our cash flows, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected by these and other industry-wide pricing pressures.

        Because our business model is based on providing innovative and high-quality products, we may spend a proportionately greater amount on research and development than some of our competitors. If we cannot proportionately decrease our cost structure on a timely basis in response to competitive price pressures, our gross margin and, therefore, our profitability could be adversely affected. In addition, if our pricing and other factors are not sufficiently competitive, or if there is an adverse reaction to our product decisions, we may lose market share in certain areas, which could adversely affect our revenue and prospects.

        Even if we are able to maintain or increase market share for a particular product, revenue could decline because the product is in a maturing industry or market segment or contains technology that is becoming obsolete. For example, our Storage business unit is experiencing the effects of a market transition towards converged products and solutions, which has led to a decline in demand for our traditional storage products. In addition, the performance of our Business Critical Systems business unit has been adversely affected by the decline in demand for UNIX servers and concerns about the development of new versions of software to support our Itanium-based products. Revenue and margins also could decline due to increased competition from other types of products. For example, growing demand for an increasing array of mobile computing devices and the development of cloud-based solutions has reduced demand for some of our existing hardware products. In addition, refill and remanufactured alternatives for some of HP's LaserJet toner and inkjet cartridges compete with our printing supplies business.

If we cannot successfully execute our strategy and continue to develop, manufacture and market products, services and solutions that meet customer requirements for innovation and quality, our revenue and gross margin may suffer.

        Our long-term strategy is focused on leveraging our portfolio of hardware, software and services as we adapt to a changing and hybrid model of IT delivery and consumption driven by the growing adoption of cloud computing and increased demand for integrated IT solutions. To successfully execute this strategy, we need to continue evolving our focus towards the delivery of integrated IT solutions for our customers and to continue to invest and expand into cloud computing, security, big data and

76

mobility. Any failure to successfully execute this strategy, including any failure to invest sufficiently in strategic growth areas, could adversely affect our business, results of operation and financial results.

        The process of developing new high-technology products, software, services and solutions and enhancing existing hardware and software products, services and solutions is complex, costly and uncertain, and any failure by us to anticipate customers' changing needs and emerging technological trends accurately could significantly harm our market share and results of operations. For example, as the transition to an environment characterized by cloud-based computing and software being delivered as a service progresses, we must continue to successfully develop and deploy cloud-based solutions for our customers. We must make long-term investments, develop or obtain, and protect, appropriate intellectual property, and commit significant research and development and other resources before knowing whether our predictions will accurately reflect customer demand for our products, services and solutions. In addition, after we develop a product, we must be able to manufacture appropriate volumes quickly while also managing costs and preserving margins. To accomplish this, we must accurately forecast volumes, mixes of products and configurations that meet customer requirements, and we may not succeed at doing so within a given product's life cycle or at all. Any delay in the development, production or marketing of a new product, service or solution could result in us not being among the first to market, which could further harm our competitive position.

        In the course of conducting our business, we must adequately address quality issues associated with our products, services and solutions, including defects in our engineering, design and manufacturing processes and unsatisfactory performance under service contracts, as well as defects in third-party components included in our products and unsatisfactory performance or even malicious acts by third-party contractors or subcontractors or the employees of those contractors or subcontractors. In order to address quality issues, we work extensively with our customers and suppliers and engage in product testing to determine the causes of problems and to develop and implement appropriate solutions. However, the products, services and solutions that we offer are complex, and our regular testing and quality control efforts may not be effective in controlling or detecting all quality issues or errata, particularly with respect to faulty components manufactured by third-parties. If we are unable to determine the cause, find an appropriate solution or offer a temporary fix (or "patch") to address quality issues with our products, we may delay shipment to customers, which would delay revenue recognition and could adversely affect our revenue and reported results. Addressing quality issues can be expensive and may result in additional warranty, replacement and other costs, adversely affecting our profits. If new or existing customers have difficulty operating our products or are dissatisfied with our services or solutions, our results of operations could be adversely affected, and we could face possible claims if we fail to meet our customers' expectations. In addition, quality issues can impair our relationships with new or existing customers and adversely affect our brand and reputation, which could, in turn, adversely affect our results of operations.

Economic weakness and uncertainty could adversely affect our revenue, gross margin and expenses.

        Our revenue and gross margin depend significantly on worldwide economic conditions and the demand for technology hardware, software and services in the markets in which we compete. Economic weakness and uncertainty have resulted, and may result in the future, in decreased revenue, gross margin, earnings or growth rates and in increased expenses and difficulty in managing inventory levels. For example, we have experienced and may continue to experience macroeconomic weakness across many geographic regions, particularly in the Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") region, China and other high-growth markets. The U.S. federal government spending cuts that went into effect on March 1, 2013 may further reduce demand for our products, services and solutions from organizations that receive funding from the U.S. government and could negatively affect macroeconomic conditions in the United States, which could further reduce demand for our products, services and solutions. Economic weakness and uncertainty may adversely affect demand for our

77

products, services and solutions, may result in increased expenses due to higher allowances for doubtful accounts and potential goodwill and asset impairment charges, and may make it more difficult for us to make accurate forecasts of revenue, gross margin, cash flows and expenses.

        We also have experienced, and may experience in the future, gross margin declines in certain businesses, reflecting the effect of items such as competitive pricing pressures and increases in component and manufacturing costs resulting from higher labor and material costs borne by our manufacturers and suppliers that, as a result of competitive pricing pressures or other factors, we are unable to pass on to our customers. In addition, our business may be disrupted if we are unable to obtain equipment, parts or components from our suppliers—and our suppliers from their suppliers—due to the insolvency of key suppliers or the inability of key suppliers to obtain credit.

        Economic weakness and uncertainty could cause our expenses to vary materially from our expectations. Any financial turmoil affecting the banking system and financial markets or any significant financial services institution failures could negatively impact our treasury operations, as the financial condition of such parties may deteriorate rapidly and without notice in times of market volatility and disruption. Poor financial performance of financial markets combined with lower interest rates and the adverse effects of fluctuating currency exchange rates could lead to higher pension and post-retirement benefit expenses. Interest and other expenses could vary materially from expectations depending on changes in interest rates, borrowing costs, currency exchange rates, costs of hedging activities and the fair value of derivative instruments. Economic downturns also may lead to restructuring actions and associated expenses.

The revenue and profitability of our operations have historically varied, which makes our future financial results less predictable.

        Our revenue, gross margin and profit vary among our products and services, customer groups and geographic markets and therefore will likely be different in future periods than our current results. Our revenue depends on the overall demand for our products and services. Delays or reductions in IT spending could have a material adverse effect on demand for our products and services, which could result in a significant decline in revenue. In addition, revenue declines in some of our businesses, particularly our services businesses, may affect revenue in our other businesses as we may lose cross-selling opportunities. Overall gross margins and profitability in any given period are dependent partially on the product, service, customer and geographic mix reflected in that period's net revenue. Competition, lawsuits, investigations and other risks affecting those businesses therefore may have a significant impact on our overall gross margin and profitability. Certain segments have a higher fixed cost structure and more variation in gross margins across their business units and product portfolios than others and may therefore experience significant operating profit volatility on a quarterly basis. In addition, newer geographic markets may be relatively less profitable due to investments associated with entering those markets and local pricing pressures, and we may have difficulty establishing and maintaining the operating infrastructure necessary to support the high growth rate associated with some of those markets. Market trends, industry shifts, competitive pressures, commoditization of products, seasonal rebates, increased component or shipping costs, regulatory impacts and other factors may result in reductions in revenue or pressure on gross margins of certain segments in a given period, which may lead to adjustments to our operations. Moreover, our efforts to address the challenges facing our business could increase the level of variability in our financial results because the rate at which we are able to realize the benefits from those efforts may vary from period to period.

If we do not effectively manage our product and services transitions, our revenue, gross margin and profitability may suffer.

        Many of the markets in which we compete are characterized by rapid technological advances in hardware performance and software features and functionality, frequent introduction of new products,

78

short product life cycles, and continual improvement in product price characteristics relative to product performance. To maintain our competitive position in these markets, we must successfully develop and introduce new products and services. Among the risks associated with the introduction of new products and services are: delays in development or manufacturing, variations in costs, delays in customer purchases or reductions in the price of existing products in anticipation of new introductions, difficulty in predicting customer demand for the new offerings and challenges of effectively managing inventory levels so that they are in line with anticipated demand; risks associated with new products meeting customer qualifications and customer evaluation of new products; and the risk that new products may have quality or other defects or may not be supported adequately by application software. If we do not make an effective transition from existing products and services to future offerings, our revenue and gross margins may decline and our profitability may be harmed.

        Our revenue and gross margin also may suffer as a result of the timing of product or service introductions by our suppliers and competitors. This is especially challenging when a product has a short life cycle or a competitor introduces a new product just before our own product introduction. Furthermore, sales of our new products and services may replace sales or result in discounting of some of our current offerings, offsetting the benefit of even a successful introduction. There also may be overlaps in our current products and services and portfolios we have acquired through mergers and acquisitions that we must manage. In addition, it may be difficult to ensure performance of new customer contracts in accordance with our revenue, margin and cost estimates and to achieve operational efficiencies embedded in our estimates. Given the competitive nature of our industry, if any of these risks materializes, future demand for our products and services and our results of operations may suffer.

If we fail to manage the distribution of our products and services properly, our revenue, gross margin and profitability could suffer.

        We use a variety of distribution methods to sell our products and services, including third-party resellers and distributors and both direct and indirect sales to enterprise accounts and consumers. Successfully managing the interaction of our direct and indirect channel efforts to reach various potential customer segments for our products and services is a complex process. Moreover, since each distribution method has distinct risks and gross margins, our failure to implement the most advantageous balance in the delivery model for our products and services could adversely affect our revenue and gross margins and therefore our profitability. Other distribution risks are described below.

•

Our financial results could be materially adversely affected due to channel conflicts or if the financial conditions of our channel partners were to weaken.

Our results of operations may be adversely affected by any conflicts that might arise between our various sales channels, the loss or deterioration of any alliance or distribution arrangement or the loss of retail shelf space. Moreover, some of our wholesale and retail distributors may have insufficient financial resources and may not be able to withstand changes in business conditions, including economic weakness and industry consolidation. Many of our significant distributors operate on narrow product margins and have been negatively affected by business pressures. Considerable trade receivables that are not covered by collateral or credit insurance are outstanding with our distribution and retail channel partners. Revenue from indirect sales could suffer, and we could experience disruptions in distribution, if our distributors' financial conditions, abilities to borrow funds in the credit markets or operations weaken.

•

Our inventory management is complex as we continue to sell a significant mix of products through distributors.

We must manage inventory effectively, particularly with respect to sales to distributors, which involves forecasting demand and pricing issues. Distributors may increase orders during periods

79

of product shortages, cancel orders if their inventory is too high or delay orders in anticipation of new products. Distributors also may adjust their orders in response to the supply of our products and the products of our competitors and seasonal fluctuations in end-user demand. Our reliance upon indirect distribution methods may reduce visibility to demand and pricing issues, and therefore make forecasting more difficult. If we have excess or obsolete inventory, we may have to reduce our prices and write down inventory. Moreover, our use of indirect distribution channels may limit our willingness or ability to adjust prices quickly and otherwise to respond to pricing changes by competitors. We also may have limited ability to estimate future product rebate redemptions in order to price our products effectively.

We depend on third-party suppliers, and our financial results could suffer if we fail to manage suppliers properly.

        Our operations depend on our ability to anticipate our needs for components, products and services, as well as our suppliers' ability to deliver sufficient quantities of quality components, products and services at reasonable prices and in time for us to meet critical schedules. Given the wide variety of systems, products and services that we offer, the large number of our suppliers and contract manufacturers that are located around the world, and the long lead times required to manufacture, assemble and deliver certain components and products, problems could arise in production, planning, and inventory management that could seriously harm us. In addition, our ongoing efforts to optimize the efficiency of our supply chain could cause supply disruptions and be more expensive, time-consuming and resource intensive than expected. Other supplier problems that we could face include component shortages, excess supply, risks related to the terms of our contracts with suppliers, risks associated with contingent workers, and risks related to our relationships with single source suppliers, as described below.

•

Shortages.  Occasionally we may experience a shortage of, or a delay in receiving, certain components as a result of strong demand, capacity constraints, supplier financial weaknesses, inability of suppliers to borrow funds in the credit markets, disputes with suppliers (some of whom are also customers), disruptions in the operations of component suppliers, other problems experienced by suppliers or problems faced during the transition to new suppliers. For example, our PC business relies heavily upon outsourced manufacturers ("OMs") to manufacture its products and is therefore dependent upon the continuing operations of those OMs to fulfill demand for our PC products. HP represents a substantial portion of the business of some of these OMs, and any changes to the nature or volume of business transacted by HP with a particular OM could adversely affect the operations and financial condition of the OM and lead to shortages or delays in receiving products from that OM. If shortages or delays persist, the price of certain components may increase, and we may be exposed to quality issues or the components may not be available at all. We may not be able to secure enough components at reasonable prices or of acceptable quality to build products or provide services in a timely manner in the quantities or according to the specifications needed. Accordingly, our revenue and gross margin could suffer as we could lose time-sensitive sales, incur additional freight costs or be unable to pass on price increases to our customers. If we cannot adequately address supply issues, we might have to reengineer some products or services offerings, which could result in further costs and delays.

•

Oversupply.  In order to secure components for the provision of products or services, at times we may make advance payments to suppliers or enter into non-cancelable commitments with vendors. In addition, we may purchase components strategically in advance of demand to take advantage of favorable pricing or to address concerns about the availability of future components. If we fail to anticipate customer demand properly, a temporary oversupply could result in excess or obsolete components, which could adversely affect our gross margin.

80

•

Contractual terms.  As a result of binding price or purchase commitments with vendors, we may be obligated to purchase components or services at prices that are higher than those available in the current market and be limited in our ability to respond to changing market conditions. If we commit to purchasing components or services for prices in excess of the then-current market price, we may be at a disadvantage to competitors who have access to components or services at lower prices, our gross margin could suffer, and we could incur additional charges relating to inventory obsolescence. In addition, many of our competitors obtain products or components from the same OMs and suppliers that we utilize. Our competitors may obtain better pricing, more favorable contractual terms and conditions, and more favorable allocations of products and components during periods of limited supply, and our ability to engage in relationships with certain OMs and suppliers could be limited. The practice employed by our PC business of purchasing product components and transferring those components to its OMs may create large supplier receivables with the OMs that, depending on the financial condition of the OMs, may create collectibility risks. In addition, certain of our OMs and suppliers may decide to discontinue conducting business with us. Any of these actions by our competitors, OMs or suppliers could adversely affect our future results of operations and financial condition.

•

Contingent workers.  We also rely on third-party suppliers for the provision of contingent workers, and our failure to manage our use of such workers effectively could adversely affect our results of operations. We have been exposed to various legal claims relating to the status of contingent workers in the past and could face similar claims in the future. We may be subject to shortages, oversupply or fixed contractual terms relating to contingent workers. Our ability to manage the size of, and costs associated with, the contingent workforce may be subject to additional constraints imposed by local laws.

•

Single source suppliers.  Our use of single source suppliers for certain components could exacerbate any supplier issues. We obtain a significant number of components from single sources due to technology, availability, price, quality or other considerations. For example, we rely on Intel to provide us with a sufficient supply of processors for many of our PCs, workstations and servers and AMD to provide us with a sufficient supply of processors for other products. Some of those processors are customized for our products. New products that we introduce may utilize custom components obtained from only one source initially until we have evaluated whether there is a need for additional suppliers. Replacing a single source supplier could delay production of some products as replacement suppliers may be subject to capacity constraints or other output limitations. For some components, such as customized components and some of the processors that we obtain from Intel, alternative sources either may not exist or may be unable to produce the quantities of those components necessary to satisfy our production requirements. In addition, we sometimes purchase components from single source suppliers under short-term agreements that contain favorable pricing and other terms but that may be unilaterally modified or terminated by the supplier with limited notice and with little or no penalty. The performance of such single source suppliers under those agreements (and the renewal or extension of those agreements upon similar terms) may affect the quality, quantity and price of components to HP. The loss of a single source supplier, the deterioration of our relationship with a single source supplier, or any unilateral modification to the contractual terms under which we are supplied components by a single source supplier could adversely affect our revenue, gross margin and cash flows.

Business disruptions could seriously harm our future revenue and financial condition and increase our costs and expenses.

        Our worldwide operations could be disrupted by earthquakes, telecommunications failures, power or water shortages, tsunamis, floods, hurricanes, typhoons, fires, extreme weather conditions, medical epidemics or pandemics and other natural or manmade disasters or catastrophic events, for which we

81

are predominantly self-insured. The occurrence of any of these business disruptions could result in significant losses, seriously harm our revenue, profitability and financial condition, adversely affect our competitive position, increase our costs and expenses, and require substantial expenditures and recovery time in order to fully resume operations. Our corporate headquarters and a portion of our research and development activities are located in California, and other critical business operations and some of our suppliers are located in California and Asia, near major earthquake faults known for seismic activity. In addition, six of our principal worldwide IT data centers are located in the southern United States, making our operations more vulnerable to natural disasters or other business disruptions occurring in that geographical area. The manufacture of product components, the final assembly of our products and other critical operations are concentrated in certain geographic locations, including Shanghai, Singapore and India. We also rely on major logistics hubs primarily in Asia to manufacture and distribute our products and in the southwestern United States to import products into the Americas region. Our operations could be adversely affected if manufacturing, logistics or other operations in these locations are disrupted for any reason, including natural disasters, information technology system failures, military actions or economic, business, labor, environmental, public health, regulatory or political issues. The ultimate impact on us, our significant suppliers and our general infrastructure of being located near locations more vulnerable to the occurrence of the aforementioned business disruptions, such as near major earthquake faults, and being consolidated in certain geographical areas is unknown and remains uncertain.

Our sales cycle makes planning and inventory management difficult and future financial results less predictable.

        In some of our segments, our quarterly sales often have reflected a pattern in which a disproportionate percentage of each quarter's total sales occurs towards the end of such quarter. This uneven sales pattern makes predicting revenue, earnings, cash flow from operations and working capital for each financial period difficult, increases the risk of unanticipated variations in quarterly results and financial condition and places pressure on our inventory management and logistics systems. If predicted demand is substantially greater than orders, there may be excess inventory. Alternatively, if orders substantially exceed predicted demand, we may not be able to fulfill all of the orders received in the last few weeks of each quarter. Depending on when they occur in a quarter, developments such as a systems failure, component pricing movements, component shortages or global logistics disruptions, could adversely impact inventory levels and results of operations in a manner that is disproportionate to the number of days in the quarter affected.

        We experience some seasonal trends in the sale of our products that also may produce variations in quarterly results and financial condition. For example, sales to governments (particularly sales to the U.S. government) are often stronger in the third calendar quarter, consumer sales are often stronger in the fourth calendar quarter, and many customers whose fiscal and calendar years are the same spend their remaining capital budget authorizations in the fourth calendar quarter prior to new budget constraints in the first calendar quarter of the following year. European sales are often weaker during the summer months. Demand during the spring and early summer also may be adversely impacted by market anticipation of seasonal trends. Moreover, to the extent that we introduce new products in anticipation of seasonal demand trends, our discounting of existing products may adversely affect our gross margin prior to or shortly after such product launches. Typically, our third fiscal quarter is our weakest and our fourth fiscal quarter is our strongest. Many of the factors that create and affect seasonal trends are beyond our control.

Due to the international nature of our business, political or economic changes or other factors could harm our future revenue, costs and expenses, and financial condition.

        Sales outside the United States make up approximately 66% of our net revenue. In addition, an increasing portion of our business activity is being conducted in emerging markets, including Brazil,

82

Russia, India and China. Our future revenue, gross margin, expenses and financial condition could suffer due to a variety of international factors, including:

•

ongoing instability or changes in a country's or region's economic or political conditions, including inflation, recession, interest rate fluctuations and actual or anticipated military or political conflicts;

•

longer collection cycles and financial instability among customers;

•

trade regulations and procedures and actions affecting production, pricing and marketing of products;

•

local labor conditions and regulations, including local labor issues faced by specific HP suppliers and OMs;

•

managing a geographically dispersed workforce;

•

changes in the regulatory or legal environment;

•

differing technology standards or customer requirements;

•

import, export or other business licensing requirements or requirements relating to making foreign direct investments, which could increase our cost of doing business in certain jurisdictions, prevent us from shipping products to particular countries or markets, affect our ability to obtain favorable terms for components, increase our operating costs or lead to penalties or restrictions;

•

difficulties associated with repatriating earnings generated or held abroad in a tax-efficient manner and changes in tax laws; and

•

fluctuations in freight costs, limitations on shipping and receiving capacity, and other disruptions in the transportation and shipping infrastructure at important geographic points of exit and entry for our products and shipments.

        The factors described above also could disrupt our product and component manufacturing and key suppliers located outside of the United States. For example, we rely on manufacturers in Taiwan for the production of notebook computers and other suppliers in Asia for product assembly and manufacture.

        Currencies other than the U.S. dollar, including the euro, the British pound, Chinese yuan renminbi and the Japanese yen, can have an impact on our results (expressed in U.S. dollars). Currency variations also contribute to variations in sales of products and services in impacted jurisdictions. For example, in the event that one or more European countries were to replace the euro with another currency, our sales into such countries, or into Europe generally, would likely be adversely affected until stable exchange rates are established. Accordingly, fluctuations in foreign currency rates, most notably the strengthening of the dollar against the euro, could adversely affect our revenue growth in future periods. In addition, currency variations can adversely affect margins on sales of our products in countries outside of the United States and margins on sales of products that include components obtained from suppliers located outside of the United States. We use a combination of forward contracts and options designated as cash flow hedges to protect against foreign currency exchange rate risks. The effectiveness of our hedges depends on our ability to accurately forecast future cash flows, which is particularly difficult during periods of uncertain demand for our products and services and highly volatile exchange rates. We may incur significant losses from our hedging activities due to factors such as volatility and currency variations. In addition, our hedging activities may be ineffective or may not offset any or more than a portion of the adverse financial impact resulting from currency variations. Losses associated with hedging activities also may impact our revenue and to a lesser extent our cost of sales and financial condition.

83

        In many foreign countries, particularly in those with developing economies, it is common to engage in business practices that are prohibited by laws and regulations applicable to us, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the "FCPA"). For example, as discussed in Note 15 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, the German Public Prosecutor's Office, the U.S. Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission have been investigating allegations that certain current and former employees of HP engaged in bribery, embezzlement and tax evasion. In addition, the U.S. enforcement authorities, as well as the Polish Central Anti-Corruption Bureau, are conducting investigations into potential FCPA violations by a former employee of an HP subsidiary in connection with certain public-sector transactions in Poland, and the U.S. enforcement authorities are conducting investigations into certain other public-sector transactions in Russia, Poland, the Commonwealth of Independent States and Mexico, among other countries. Although we implement policies and procedures designed to facilitate compliance with these laws, our employees, contractors and agents, as well as those companies to which we outsource certain of our business operations, may take actions in violation of our policies. Any such violation, even if prohibited by our policies, could have an adverse effect on our business and reputation.

Any failure by us to identify, manage, complete and integrate acquisitions, divestitures and other significant transactions successfully could harm our financial results, business and prospects, and the costs, expenses and other financial and operational effects associated with managing, completing and integrating acquisitions may result in financial results that are different than expected.

        As part of our business strategy, we may acquire companies or businesses, divest businesses or assets, enter into strategic alliances and joint ventures and make investments to further our business (collectively, "business combination and investment transactions"). In order to pursue this strategy successfully, we must identify candidates for and successfully complete business combination and investment transactions, some of which may be large or complex, and manage post-closing issues such as the integration of acquired businesses, products, services or employees. Risks associated with business combination and investment transactions include the following, any of which could adversely affect our revenue, gross margin, profitability and financial results:

•

Managing business combination and investment transactions requires varying levels of management resources, which may divert our attention from other business operations.

•

We may not fully realize all of the anticipated benefits of any business combination and investment transaction, and the timeframe for realizing benefits of a business combination and investment transaction may depend partially upon the actions of employees, advisors, suppliers or other third-parties.

•

Business combination and investment transactions have resulted, and in the future may result, in significant costs and expenses and charges to earnings, including those related to severance pay, early retirement costs, employee benefit costs, goodwill and asset impairment charges, charges from the elimination of duplicative facilities and contracts, inventory adjustments, assumed litigation and other liabilities, legal, accounting and financial advisory fees, and required payments to executive officers and key employees under retention plans.

•

Any increased or unexpected costs, unanticipated delays or failure to meet contractual obligations could make business combination and investment transactions less profitable or unprofitable.

•

Our ability to conduct due diligence with respect to business combination and investment transactions, and our ability to evaluate the results of such due diligence, is dependent upon the veracity and completeness of statements and disclosures made or actions taken by third-parties or their representatives.

84

•

Our due diligence process may fail to identify significant issues with the acquired company's product quality, financial disclosures, accounting practices or internal control deficiencies.

•

The pricing and other terms of our contracts for business combination and investment transactions require us to make estimates and assumptions at the time we enter into these contracts, and, during the course of our due diligence, we may not identify all of the factors necessary to estimate accurately our costs, timing and other matters or we may incur costs if a business combination is not consummated.

•

In order to complete a business combination and investment transaction, we may issue common stock, potentially creating dilution for existing stockholders.

•

We may borrow to finance business combination and investment transactions, and the amount and terms of any potential future acquisition-related or other borrowings, as well as other factors, could affect our liquidity and financial condition.

•

Our effective tax rate on an ongoing basis is uncertain, and business combination and investment transactions could adversely impact our effective tax rate.

•

An announced business combination and investment transaction may not close timely or at all, which may cause our financial results to differ from expectations in a given quarter.

•

Business combination and investment transactions may lead to litigation.

•

If we fail to identify and successfully complete and integrate business combination and investment transactions that further our strategic objectives, we may be required to expend resources to develop products, services and technology internally, which may put us at a competitive disadvantage.

        We have incurred and will incur additional depreciation and amortization expense over the useful lives of certain assets acquired in connection with business combination and investment transactions, and, to the extent that the value of goodwill or intangible assets acquired in connection with a business combination and investment transaction becomes impaired, we may be required to incur additional material charges relating to the impairment of those assets. For example, in our third fiscal quarter of 2012, we recorded an $8.0 billion impairment charge relating to the goodwill associated with our enterprise services reporting unit within our former Services segment and a $1.2 billion impairment charge as a result of an asset impairment analysis of the "Compaq" trade name acquired in 2002. In addition, in our fourth fiscal quarter of 2012, we recorded an $8.8 billion impairment charge relating to the goodwill and intangible assets associated with Autonomy. If there are future decreases in our stock price or significant changes in the business climate or results of operations of our reporting units, we may incur additional charges, which may include goodwill impairment or intangible asset charges.

        Integration issues are often complex, time-consuming and expensive and, without proper planning and implementation, could significantly disrupt our business and the acquired business. The challenges involved in integration include:

•

combining product and service offerings and entering or expanding into markets in which we are not experienced or are developing expertise;

•

convincing customers and distributors that the transaction will not diminish client service standards or business focus, persuading customers and distributors to not defer purchasing decisions or switch to other suppliers (which could result in our incurring additional obligations in order to address customer uncertainty), minimizing sales force attrition and expanding and coordinating sales, marketing and distribution efforts;

•

consolidating and rationalizing corporate IT infrastructure, which may include multiple legacy systems from various acquisitions and integrating software code and business processes;

85

•

minimizing the diversion of management attention from ongoing business concerns;

•

persuading employees that business cultures are compatible, maintaining employee morale and retaining key employees, engaging with employee works councils representing an acquired company's non-U.S. employees, integrating employees into HP, correctly estimating employee benefit costs and implementing restructuring programs;

•

coordinating and combining administrative, manufacturing, research and development and other operations, subsidiaries, facilities and relationships with third-parties in accordance with local laws and other obligations while maintaining adequate standards, controls and procedures;

•

achieving savings from supply chain integration; and

•

managing integration issues shortly after or pending the completion of other independent transactions.

        While we do not currently plan to divest any of our major businesses, we do regularly evaluate the potential disposition of assets and businesses that may no longer help us meet our objectives. When we decide to sell assets or a business, we may encounter difficulty in finding buyers or alternative exit strategies on acceptable terms in a timely manner, which could delay the achievement of our strategic objectives. We may also dispose of a business at a price or on terms that are less desirable than we had anticipated. In addition, we may experience greater dis-synergies than expected, and the impact of the divestiture on our revenue growth may be larger than projected. After reaching an agreement with a buyer or seller for the acquisition or disposition of a business, we are subject to satisfaction of pre-closing conditions as well as to necessary regulatory and governmental approvals on acceptable terms, which, if not satisfied or obtained, may prevent us from completing the transaction. Dispositions may also involve continued financial involvement in the divested business, such as through continuing equity ownership, guarantees, indemnities or other financial obligations. Under these arrangements, performance by the divested businesses or other conditions outside of our control could affect our future financial results.

Our revenue, cost of sales, and expenses may suffer if we cannot continue to license or enforce the intellectual property rights on which our businesses depend or if third-parties assert that we violate their intellectual property rights.

        We rely upon patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws in the United States, similar laws in other countries, and agreements with our employees, customers, suppliers and other parties, to establish and maintain intellectual property rights in the products and services we sell, provide or otherwise use in our operations. However, any of our intellectual property rights could be challenged, invalidated, infringed or circumvented, or such intellectual property rights may not be sufficient to permit us to take advantage of current market trends or to otherwise provide competitive advantages, either of which could result in costly product redesign efforts, discontinuance of certain product offerings or other harm to our competitive position. Further, the laws of certain countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Therefore, in certain jurisdictions we may be unable to protect our proprietary technology adequately against unauthorized third-party copying or use; this, too, could adversely affect our competitive position.

        Because of the rapid pace of technological change in the information technology industry, much of our business and many of our products rely on key technologies developed or licensed by third-parties. We may not be able to obtain or continue to obtain licenses and technologies from these third-parties at all or on reasonable terms, or such third-parties may demand cross-licenses to our intellectual property. In addition, it is possible that as a consequence of a merger or acquisition, third-parties may obtain licenses to some of our intellectual property rights or our business may be subject to certain restrictions that were not in place prior to the transaction. Consequently, we may lose a competitive

86

advantage with respect to these intellectual property rights or we may be required to enter into costly arrangements in order to terminate or limit these rights.

        Third-parties also may claim that we or customers indemnified by us are infringing upon their intellectual property rights. For example, individuals and groups may purchase intellectual property assets for the purpose of asserting claims of infringement and attempting to extract settlements from companies such as HP and its customers. The number of these claims has increased in recent periods and may continue to increase in the future. If we cannot or do not license infringed intellectual property at all or on reasonable terms, or if we are required to substitute similar technology from another source, our operations could be adversely affected. Even if we believe that intellectual property claims are without merit, they can be time-consuming and costly to defend against and may divert management's attention and resources away from our business. Claims of intellectual property infringement also might require us to redesign affected products, enter into costly settlement or license agreements, pay costly damage awards, or face a temporary or permanent injunction prohibiting us from importing, marketing or selling certain of our products. Even if we have an agreement to indemnify us against such costs, the indemnifying party may be unable or unwilling to uphold its contractual obligations to us.

        Finally, our results of operations and cash flows have been and could continue to be affected in certain periods and on an ongoing basis by the imposition, accrual and payment of copyright levies or similar fees. In certain countries (primarily in Europe), proceedings are ongoing or have been concluded involving HP in which groups representing copyright owners have sought or are seeking to impose upon and collect from HP levies upon equipment (such as PCs, MFDs and printers) alleged to be copying devices under applicable laws. Other such groups have also sought to modify existing levy schemes to increase the amount of the levies that can be collected from us. Other countries that have not imposed levies on these types of devices are expected to extend existing levy schemes, and countries that do not currently have levy schemes may decide to impose copyright levies on these types of devices. The total amount of the copyright levies will depend on the types of products determined to be subject to the levy, the number of units of those products sold during the period covered by the levy, and the per unit fee for each type of product, all of which are affected by several factors, including the outcome of ongoing litigation involving us and other industry participants and possible action by the legislative bodies in the applicable countries, and could be substantial. Consequently, the ultimate impact of these copyright levies or similar fees, and our ability to recover such amounts through increased prices, remains uncertain.

Our revenue and profitability could suffer if we do not manage the risks associated with our services business properly.

        The risks that accompany our services business differ from those of our other businesses and include the following:

•

The success of our services business is to a significant degree dependent on our ability to retain our significant services clients and maintain or increase the level of revenues from these clients. We may lose clients due to their merger or acquisition, business failure, contract expiration or their selection of a competing service provider or decision to in-source services. In addition, we may not be able to retain or renew relationships with our significant clients. As a result of business downturns or for other business reasons, we are also vulnerable to reduced processing volumes from our clients, which can reduce the scope of services provided and the prices for those services. We may not be able to replace the revenue and earnings from any such lost clients or reductions in services. In addition, our contracts may allow a client to terminate the contract for convenience, and we may not be able to fully recover our investments in such circumstances.

87

•

The pricing and other terms of some of our IT services agreements, particularly our long-term IT outsourcing services agreements, require us to make estimates and assumptions at the time we enter into these contracts that could differ from actual results. Any increased or unexpected costs or unanticipated delays in connection with the performance of these engagements, including delays caused by factors outside our control, could make these agreements less profitable or unprofitable, which could have an adverse effect on the profit margin of our IT services business.

•

Some of our IT services agreements require significant investment in the early stages that is expected to be recovered through billings over the life of the agreement. These agreements often involve the construction of new IT systems and communications networks and the development and deployment of new technologies. Substantial performance risk exists in each agreement with these characteristics, and some or all elements of service delivery under these agreements are dependent upon successful completion of the development, construction and deployment phases. Any failure to perform satisfactorily under these agreements may expose us to legal liability, result in the loss of customers and harm our reputation, which could decrease the revenues and profitability of our IT services business.

•

Some of our outsourcing services agreements contain pricing provisions that permit a client to request a benchmark study by a mutually acceptable third-party. The benchmarking process typically compares the contractual price of our services against the price of similar services offered by other specified providers in a peer comparison group, subject to agreed upon adjustment and normalization factors. Generally, if the benchmarking study shows that our pricing has a difference outside a specified range, and the difference is not due to the unique requirements of the client, then the parties will negotiate in good faith any appropriate adjustments to the pricing. This may result in the reduction of our rates for the benchmarked services performed after the implementation of those pricing adjustments, which could decrease the cash flows of our IT services business.

•

If we do not hire, train, motivate and effectively utilize employees with the right mix of skills and experience in the right geographic regions to meet the needs of our services clients, our profitably could suffer. For example, if our employee utilization rate is too low, our profitability and the level of engagement of our employees could suffer. If that utilization rate is too high, it could have an adverse effect on employee engagement and attrition and the quality of the work performed, as well as our ability to staff projects. If we are unable to hire and retain a sufficient number of employees with the skills or backgrounds to meet current demand, we might need to redeploy existing personnel, increase our reliance on subcontractors or increase employee compensation levels, all of which could also negatively affect our profitability. In addition, if we have more employees than we need with certain skill sets or in certain geographies, we may incur increased costs as we work to rebalance our supply of skills and resources with client demand in those geographies.

Failure to comply with our customer contracts or government contracting regulations could adversely affect our revenue and results of operations.

        Our contracts with our customers may include unique and specialized performance requirements. In particular, our contracts with federal, state, provincial and local governmental customers are subject to various procurement regulations, contract provisions and other requirements relating to their formation, administration and performance. Any failure by us to comply with the specific provisions in our customer contracts or any violation of government contracting regulations could result in the imposition of various civil and criminal penalties, which may include termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments and, in the case of our government contracts, fines and suspension from future government contracting. In addition, we have in the past been, and may in the future be,

88

subject to qui tam litigation brought by private individuals on behalf of the government relating to our government contracts, which could include claims for up to treble damages. Further, any negative publicity related to our customer contracts or any proceedings surrounding them, regardless of its accuracy, may damage our business by affecting our ability to compete for new contracts. If our customer contracts are terminated, if we are suspended or disbarred from government work, or if our ability to compete for new contracts is adversely affected, we could suffer a reduction in expected revenue.

HP's stock price has historically fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate, which may make future prices of HP's stock difficult to predict.

        HP's stock price, like that of other technology companies, can be volatile. Some of the factors that could affect our stock price are:

•

speculation, coverage or sentiment in the media or the investment community about, or actual changes in, our business, strategic position, market share, organizational structure, operations, financial condition, financial reporting and results, effectiveness of cost-cutting efforts, value or liquidity of our investments, exposure to market volatility, prospects, business combination or investment transactions, future stock price performance, board of directors, executive team, our competitors or our industry in general;

•

the announcement of new, planned or contemplated products, services, technological innovations, acquisitions, divestitures or other significant transactions by HP or its competitors;

•

quarterly increases or decreases in revenue, gross margin, earnings or cash flows, changes in estimates by the investment community or financial outlook provided by HP and variations between actual and estimated financial results;

•

announcements of actual and anticipated financial results by HP's competitors and other companies in the IT industry;

•

developments relating to pending investigations, claims and disputes; and

•

the timing and amount of share repurchases by HP.

        General or industry specific market conditions or stock market performance or domestic or international macroeconomic and geopolitical factors unrelated to HP's performance also may affect the price of HP stock. For these reasons, investors should not rely on recent or historical trends to predict future stock prices, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, as discussed in Note 15 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, we are involved in several securities class action litigation matters. Additional volatility in the price of our securities could result in the filing of additional securities class action litigation matters, which could result in substantial costs and the diversion of management time and resources.

Failure to maintain our credit ratings could adversely affect our liquidity, capital position, borrowing costs and access to capital markets.

        Our credit risk is evaluated by the major independent rating agencies. Two of those rating agencies, Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, downgraded our ratings once during fiscal 2012, and a third rating agency, Fitch Ratings, downgraded our ratings twice during that fiscal year. In addition, Moody's Investors Service downgraded our ratings again in November 2012. Our credit ratings remain under negative outlook by Moody's Investors Service. These downgrades have increased the cost of borrowing under our credit facilities, have reduced market capacity for our commercial paper, and may require the posting of additional collateral under some of our derivative contracts. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current credit ratings, and any additional actual or anticipated changes or downgrades in our credit ratings, including

89

any announcement that our ratings are under further review for a downgrade, may further impact us in a similar manner and may have a negative impact on our liquidity, capital position and access to capital markets.

We make estimates and assumptions in connection with the preparation of HP's Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, and any changes to those estimates and assumptions could adversely affect our results of operations.

        In connection with the preparation of HP's Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, we use certain estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and other factors. Our most critical accounting estimates are described in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part I, Item 2 of this report. In addition, as discussed in Note 1 and Note 15 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, we make certain estimates, including decisions related to provisions for legal proceedings and other contingencies. While we believe that these estimates and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances, they are subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. Should any of these estimates and assumptions change or prove to have been incorrect, it could adversely affect our results of operations.

Unanticipated changes in our tax provisions, the adoption of new tax legislation or exposure to additional tax liabilities could affect our profitability.

        We are subject to income and other taxes in the United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Our tax liabilities are affected by the amounts we charge in intercompany transactions for inventory, services, licenses, funding and other items. We are subject to ongoing tax audits in various jurisdictions. Tax authorities may disagree with our intercompany charges, cross-jurisdictional transfer pricing or other matters and assess additional taxes. We regularly assess the likely outcomes of these audits in order to determine the appropriateness of our tax provision. However, there can be no assurance that we will accurately predict the outcomes of these audits, and the amounts ultimately paid upon resolution of audits could be materially different from the amounts previously included in our income tax expense and therefore could have a material impact on our tax provision, net income and cash flows. In addition, our effective tax rate in the future could be adversely affected by changes to our operating structure, changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes in tax laws and the discovery of new information in the course of our tax return preparation process. In particular, the carrying amount of deferred tax assets, which are predominantly in the United States, is dependent on our ability to generate future taxable income in the United States. In addition, there are proposals for tax legislation that have been introduced or that are being considered that could have a significant adverse effect on our tax rate, the carrying amount of deferred tax assets, or our deferred tax liabilities. Any of these changes could affect our profitability.

In order to be successful, we must attract, retain, train, motivate, develop and transition key employees, and failure to do so could seriously harm us.

        In order to be successful, we must attract, retain, train, motivate, develop and transition qualified executives and other key employees, including those in managerial, technical, sales, marketing and IT support positions. Identifying, developing internally or hiring externally, training and retaining qualified executives, engineers, skilled solutions providers in the IT support business and qualified sales representatives are critical to our future, and competition for experienced employees in the IT industry can be intense. In order to attract and retain executives and other key employees in a competitive marketplace, we must provide a competitive compensation package, including cash- and share-based compensation. Our share-based incentive awards include stock options, restricted stock units, performance-adjusted restricted stock units and performance-based restricted units, some of which contain conditions relating to HP's stock price performance and HP's long-term financial performance

90

that make the future value of those awards uncertain. If the anticipated value of such share-based incentive awards does not materialize, if our share-based compensation otherwise ceases to be viewed as a valuable benefit, if our total compensation package is not viewed as being competitive, or if we do not obtain the stockholder approval needed to continue granting share-based incentive awards in the amounts we believe are necessary, our ability to attract, retain, and motivate executives and key employees could be weakened. The failure to successfully hire executives and key employees or the loss of any executives and key employees could have a significant impact on our operations. Further, changes in our management team may be disruptive to our business, and any failure to successfully transition and assimilate key new hires or promoted employees could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

System security risks, data protection breaches, cyber attacks and systems integration issues could disrupt our internal operations or information technology services provided to customers, and any such disruption could reduce our expected revenue, increase our expenses, damage our reputation and adversely affect our stock price.

        Experienced computer programmers and hackers may be able to penetrate our network security and misappropriate or compromise our confidential information or that of third-parties, create system disruptions or cause shutdowns. Computer programmers and hackers also may be able to develop and deploy viruses, worms, and other malicious software programs that attack our products or otherwise exploit any security vulnerabilities of our products. In addition, sophisticated hardware and operating system software and applications that we produce or procure from third-parties may contain defects in design or manufacture, including "bugs" and other problems that could unexpectedly interfere with the operation of the system. The costs to us to eliminate or alleviate cyber or other security problems, bugs, viruses, worms, malicious software programs and security vulnerabilities could be significant, and our efforts to address these problems may not be successful and could result in interruptions, delays, cessation of service and loss of existing or potential customers that may impede our sales, manufacturing, distribution or other critical functions.

        We manage and store various proprietary information and sensitive or confidential data relating to our business. In addition, our outsourcing services business routinely processes, stores and transmits large amounts of data for our clients, including sensitive and personally identifiable information. Breaches of our security measures or the accidental loss, inadvertent disclosure or unapproved dissemination of proprietary information or sensitive or confidential data about us, our clients or customers, including the potential loss or disclosure of such information or data as a result of fraud, trickery or other forms of deception, could expose us, our customers or the individuals affected to a risk of loss or misuse of this information, result in litigation and potential liability for us, damage our brand and reputation or otherwise harm our business. We also could lose existing or potential customers of outsourcing services or other IT solutions or incur significant expenses in connection with our customers' system failures or any actual or perceived security vulnerabilities in our products and services. In addition, the cost and operational consequences of implementing further data protection measures could be significant.

        Portions of our IT infrastructure also may experience interruptions, delays or cessations of service or produce errors in connection with systems integration or migration work that takes place from time to time. We may not be successful in implementing new systems and transitioning data, which could cause business disruptions and be more expensive, time-consuming, disruptive and resource intensive. Such disruptions could adversely impact our ability to fulfill orders and respond to customer requests and interrupt other processes. Delayed sales, lower margins or lost customers resulting from these disruptions could reduce our expected revenue, increase our expenses, damage our reputation and adversely affect our stock price.

91

Terrorist acts, conflicts, wars and geopolitical uncertainties may seriously harm our business and revenue, costs and expenses and financial condition and stock price.

        Terrorist acts, conflicts or wars (wherever located around the world) may cause damage or disruption to our business, our employees, facilities, partners, suppliers, distributors, resellers or customers or adversely affect our ability to manage logistics, operate our transportation and communication systems or conduct certain other critical business operations. The potential for future attacks, the national and international responses to attacks or perceived threats to national security, and other actual or potential conflicts or wars have created many economic and political uncertainties. In addition, as a major multinational company with headquarters and significant operations located in the United States, actions against or by the United States may impact our business or employees. Although it is impossible to predict the occurrences or consequences of any such events, if they occur, they could result in a decrease in demand for our products, make it difficult or impossible to provide services or deliver products to our customers or to receive components from our suppliers, create delays and inefficiencies in our supply chain and result in the need to impose employee travel restrictions. We are predominantly uninsured for losses and interruptions caused by terrorist acts, conflicts and wars.

Unforeseen environmental costs could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

        We are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations concerning environmental protection, including laws addressing the discharge of pollutants into the air and water, the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes, the cleanup of contaminated sites, the content of our products and the recycling, treatment and disposal of our products, including batteries. In particular, we face increasing complexity in our product design and procurement operations as we adjust to new and future requirements relating to the chemical and materials composition of our products, their safe use, the energy consumption associated with those products, climate change laws and regulations, and product take-back legislation. If we were to violate or become liable under environmental laws or if our products become non-compliant with environmental laws, we could incur substantial costs or face other sanctions, which may include restrictions on our products entering certain jurisdictions. Our potential exposure includes fines and civil or criminal sanctions, third-party property damage, personal injury claims and clean-up costs. Further, liability under some environmental laws relating to contaminated sites can be imposed retroactively, on a joint and several basis, and without any finding of noncompliance or fault. The amount and timing of costs to comply with environmental laws are difficult to predict.

Some anti-takeover provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could impair a takeover attempt.

        We have provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, each of which could have the effect of rendering more difficult or discouraging an acquisition of HP deemed undesirable by our Board of Directors. These include provisions:

•

authorizing blank check preferred stock, which we could issue with voting, liquidation, dividend and other rights superior to our common stock;

•

limiting the liability of, and providing indemnification to, our directors and officers;

•

specifying that our stockholders may take action only at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and otherwise in accordance with our bylaws and limiting the ability of our stockholders to call special meetings;

•

requiring advance notice of proposals by our stockholders for business to be conducted at stockholder meetings and for nominations of candidates for election to our Board of Directors; and

92

•

controlling the procedures for conduct of our Board of Directors and stockholder meetings and election, appointment and removal of our directors.

        These provisions, alone or together, could deter or delay hostile takeovers, proxy contests and changes in control or management of HP. As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to provisions of Delaware law, including Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prevents some stockholders from engaging in certain business combinations without approval of the holders of substantially all of our outstanding common stock.

        Any provision of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control of HP could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of HP stock and also could affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for HP stock.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

        For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting HP, see "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in Item 7A of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, which is incorporated herein by reference. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since October 31, 2013.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.

        Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report (the "Evaluation Date"). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to HP, including our consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our SEC reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to HP's management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

        Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that there has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting during that quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

        HP repurchases shares under an ongoing program when sufficient liquidity exists, the shares are trading at a discount relative to estimated intrinsic value, and there is no alternative investment opportunity expected to generate a higher risk adjusted return on investment. This program, which does not have a specific expiration date, authorizes repurchases in the open market or in private transactions. All share repurchases settled in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 were open market transactions. As of January 31, 2014, HP had remaining authorization of $7.1 billion for future share repurchases under the $10.0 billion repurchase authorization approved by HP's Board of Directors on July 21, 2011.
