Information about HP's use of non-GAAP financial information is provided under "Use of non-GAAP financial information" below.

HP today announced financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended Jan. 31, 2013. First quarter GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $0.63, down from $0.73 in the prior-year period and above its previously provided outlook of $0.34 to $0.37 per share. First quarter non-GAAP diluted EPS was $0.82, down from $0.92 in the prior-year period and above its previously provided outlook of $0.68 to $0.71 per share. First quarter non-GAAP earnings information excludes after-tax costs of $373 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, related to the amortization of purchased intangible assets, restructuring charges and acquisition-related charges. For the first quarter, net revenue of $28.4 billion was down 6% year over year and down 4% when adjusted for the effects of currency.

"We beat our non-GAAP diluted EPS outlook for the quarter by $0.11 per share, driven by improved execution, improvement in our channel and go-to-market efforts and the impact of the restructuring program we announced in May 2012," said Meg Whitman, HP president and chief executive officer. "While there's still a lot of work to do to generate the kind of growth we want to see, our turnaround is starting to gain traction as a result of the actions we took in 2012 to lay the foundation for HP's future."

Outlook
For the second quarter of fiscal 2013, HP estimates non-GAAP diluted EPS to be in the range of $0.80 to $0.82 and GAAP diluted EPS to be in the range of $0.38 to $0.40. Second quarter fiscal 2013 non-GAAP diluted EPS estimates exclude after-tax costs of approximately $0.42 per share, related primarily to the amortization of purchased intangible assets, restructuring charges and acquisition-related charges.

For the full year fiscal 2013, HP estimates a non-GAAP diluted EPS to be in the range of $3.40 to $3.60 and GAAP diluted EPS to be in the range of $2.30 to $2.50, in line with HP's previously communicated outlook. Full year fiscal 2013 non-GAAP diluted EPS estimates exclude after-tax costs of approximately $1.10 per share, related primarily to the amortization of purchased intangible assets, restructuring charges and acquisition-related charges.

"Our primary focus is to deliver on the full year outlook, and I feel good about the rest of the year," added Whitman. "We'll be bringing a number of new programs and disruptive innovations to market in the coming quarters, and we expect the benefits from our restructuring will accelerate through fiscal 2013."

Asset Management
HP generated $2.6 billion in cash flow from operations in the first quarter, up 115% from the prior-year period. Inventory ended the quarter at $6.4 billion, with days of inventory down 2 days year over year to 26 days. Accounts receivable of $14.2 billion was down 3 days year over year to 45 days. Accounts payable ended the quarter at $11.7 billion, flat from the prior-year period at 48 days. HP's dividend payment of $0.132 per share in the first quarter resulted in cash usage of $258 million. HP also utilized $253 million of cash during the quarter to repurchase approximately 19.2 million shares of common stock in the open market. HP exited the quarter with $13.1 billion in gross cash.

"After returning more than half a billion dollars to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends in the quarter, we improved our operating company net debt position for the fourth successive quarter by more than $1 billion to $4.7 billion," said Whitman. "We'll continue to take this approach and focus on rebuilding our balance sheet."

Forward-looking statements
This news release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If the risks or uncertainties ever materialize or the assumptions prove incorrect, the results of HP may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and assumptions. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including but not limited to any projections of revenue, margins, expenses, earnings, earnings per share, tax provisions, cash flows, benefit obligations, share repurchases, currency exchange rates or other financial items; any projections of the amount, timing or impact of cost savings or restructuring charges; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations, including the execution of restructuring plans and any resulting cost savings or revenue or profitability improvements; any statements concerning the expected development, performance, market share or competitive performance relating to products or services; any statements regarding current or future macroeconomic trends or events and the impact of those trends and events on HP and its financial performance; any statements regarding pending investigations, claims or disputes; any statements of expectation or belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Risks, uncertainties and assumptions include the need to address the many challenges facing HP's businesses; the competitive pressures faced by HP's businesses; risks associated with executing HP's strategy; the impact of macroeconomic and geopolitical trends and events; the need to manage third-party suppliers and the distribution of HP's products and services effectively; the protection of HP's intellectual property assets, including intellectual property licensed from third parties; risks associated with HP's international operations; the development and transition of new products and services and the enhancement of existing products and services to meet customer needs and respond to emerging technological trends; the execution and performance of contracts by HP and its suppliers, customers and partners; the hiring and retention of key employees; integration and other risks associated with business combination and investment transactions; the execution, timing and results of restructuring plans, including estimates and assumptions related to the cost and the anticipated benefits of implementing those plans; the resolution of pending investigations, claims and; and other risks that are described in HP's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012 and HP's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As in prior periods, the financial information set forth in this release, including tax-related items, reflects estimates based on information available at this time. While HP believes these estimates to be meaningful, these amounts could differ materially from actual reported amounts in HP's Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2013. In particular, determining HP's actual tax balances and provisions as of January 31, 2013 requires extensive internal and external review of tax data (including consolidating and reviewing the tax provisions of numerous domestic and foreign entities), which is being completed in the ordinary course of preparing HP's Form 10-Q. HP assumes no obligation and does not intend to update these forward-looking statements.

(a) HP has implemented certain organizational realignments. As a result of  
 these realignments, HP has re-evaluated its segment financial reporting    
 structure and, effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, created two  
 new financial reporting segments, the Enterprise Group segment and the     
 Enterprise Services segment, and eliminated two other financial reporting  
 segments, the Enterprise Servers, Storage and Networking ("ESSN") segment  
 and the Services segment. The Enterprise Group segment consists of the     
 business units within the former ESSN segment and most of the services     
 offerings of the Technology Services ("TS") business unit, which was       
 previously a part of the former Services segment. The Enterprise Services  
 segment consists of the Applications and Business Services ("ABS") and     
 Infrastructure Technology Outsourcing ("ITO") business units from the      
 former Services segment, along with the end-user workplace support         
 services business that was previously a part of the TS business unit.      
 Taking into account these changes, HP has the following seven financial

Also as a result of these realignments, the financial results of the        
 Personal Systems commercial products support business, which were          
 previously reported as part of the TS business unit, will now be reported  
 as part of the Other business unit within the Personal Systems segment,    
 and the financial results of the portion of the business intelligence      
 services business that had continued to be reported as part of the         
 Corporate Investments segment following the implementation of prior        
 realignment actions will now be reported as part of the ABS business unit. 
 In addition, the end-user workplace support services business, which, as   
 noted above, was previously a part of the TS business unit and will now    
 become a part of the Enterprise Services segment, will be reported as part 
 of the ITO business unit within that segment.

(a) HP has implemented certain organizational realignments. As a result of  
 these realignments, HP has re-evaluated its segment financial reporting    
 structure and, effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, created two  
 new financial reporting segments, the Enterprise Group segment and the     
 Enterprise Services segment, and eliminated two other financial reporting  
 segments, the Enterprise Servers, Storage and Networking ("ESSN") segment  
 and the Services segment. The Enterprise Group segment consists of the     
 business units within the former ESSN segment and most of the services     
 offerings of the Technology Services ("TS") business unit, which was       
 previously a part of the former Services segment. The Enterprise Services  
 segment consists of the Applications and Business Services ("ABS") and     
 Infrastructure Technology Outsourcing ("ITO") business units from the      
 former Services segment, along with the end-user workplace support         
 services business that was previously a part of the TS business unit.      
 Taking into account these changes, HP has the following seven financial    
 reporting segments: Personal Systems, Printing, the Enterprise Group,      
 Enterprise Services, Software, HP Financial Services and Corporate         
 Investments.                                                               
                                                                            
Also as a result of these realignments, the financial results of the        
 Personal Systems commercial products support business, which were          
 previously reported as part of the TS business unit, will now be reported  
 as part of the Other business unit within the Personal Systems segment,    
 and the financial results of the portion of the business intelligence      
 services business that had continued to be reported as part of the         
 Corporate Investments segment following the implementation of prior        
 realignment actions will now be reported as part of the ABS business       
 unit. In addition, the end-user workplace support services business,       
 which, as noted above, was previously a part of the TS business unit and   
 will now become a part of the Enterprise Services segment, will be         
 reported as part of the ITO business unit within that segment.             
                                                                            
To provide improved visibility and comparability, HP has reflected these    
 changes to its reporting structure in prior financial reporting periods    
 on an as-if basis, which has resulted in the transfer of revenue and       
 operating profit among the Personal Systems, the Enterprise Group,         
 Enterprise Services and Corporate Investments segments. These changes had  
 no impact on the previously reported financial results for the Printing,   
 Software or HP Financial Services segments. In addition, none of these     
 changes impacted HP's previously reported consolidated net revenue,        
 earnings from operations, net earnings or net earnings per share.          
                                                                            
(b) The Personal Systems segment and the Printing segment are structured    
 beneath a broader Printing and Personal Systems Group ("PPS"). While PPS   
 is not a financial reporting segment, HP provides financial data           
 aggregating the segments within it in order to provide a supplementary

(a) HP has implemented certain organizational realignments. As a result of  
 these realignments, HP has re-evaluated its segment financial reporting    
 structure and, effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, created two  
 new financial reporting segments, the Enterprise Group segment and the     
 Enterprise Services segment, and eliminated two other financial reporting  
 segments, the Enterprise Servers, Storage and Networking ("ESSN") segment  
 and the Services segment. The Enterprise Group segment consists of the     
 business units within the former ESSN segment and most of the services     
 offerings of the Technology Services ("TS") business unit, which was       
 previously a part of the former Services segment. The Enterprise Services  
 segment consists of the Applications and Business Services ("ABS") and     
 Infrastructure Technology Outsourcing ("ITO") business units from the      
 former Services segment, along with the end-user workplace support         
 services business that was previously a part of the TS business unit.      
 Taking into account these changes, HP has the following seven financial    
 reporting segments: Personal Systems, Printing, the Enterprise Group,      
 Enterprise Services, Software, HP Financial Services and Corporate         
 Investments.                                                               
                                                                            
Also as a result of these realignments, the financial results of the        
 Personal Systems commercial products support business, which were          
 previously reported as part of the TS business unit, will now be reported  
 as part of the Other business unit within the Personal Systems segment,    
 and the financial results of the portion of the business intelligence      
 services business that had continued to be reported as part of the         
 Corporate Investments segment following the implementation of prior        
 realignment actions will now be reported as part of the ABS business unit. 
 In addition, the end-user workplace support services business, which, as   
 noted above, was previously a part of the TS business unit and will now    
 become a part of the Enterprise Services segment, will be reported as part 
 of the ITO business unit within that segment.                              
                                                                            
To provide improved visibility and comparability, HP has reflected these    
 changes to its reporting structure in prior financial reporting periods on 
 an as-if basis, which has resulted in the transfer of revenue and          
 operating profit among the Personal Systems, the Enterprise Group,         
 Enterprise Services and Corporate Investments segments. These changes had  
 no impact on the previously reported financial results for the Printing,   
 Software or HP Financial Services segments. In addition, none of these     
 changes impacted HP's previously reported consolidated net revenue,        
 earnings from operations, net earnings or net earnings per share.          
                                                                            
(b) The Personal Systems segment and the Printing segment are structured    
 beneath a broader Printing and Personal Systems Group ("PPS"). While PPS   
 is not a financial reporting segment, HP provides financial data           
 aggregating the segments within it in order to provide a supplementary     
 view of its business.

(a) GAAP diluted net earnings per share reflects any dilutive effect of     
 outstanding stock options, performance-based restricted units, restricted  
 stock units and restricted stock, but that effect is excluded when         
 calculating GAAP diluted net (loss) per share because it would be anti-    
 dilutive.                                                                  
                                                                            
(b) Non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share reflects any dilutive effect of 
 outstanding stock options, performance-based restricted units, restricted  
 stock units and restricted stock.                                          

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement HP's consolidated condensed financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, HP provides non-GAAP operating profit, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, gross cash, free cash flow, net debt and operating company net debt. HP also provides forecasts of non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP operating profit is earnings from operations. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP operating margin is operating margin. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP net earnings is net earnings. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is diluted net earnings per share. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to gross cash is cash and cash equivalents. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to free cash flow is cash flow from operations. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to net debt and operating company net debt is total company debt. Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP information are included in the tables above or elsewhere in the materials accompanying this news release.

Use and Economic Substance of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Used by HP
Non-GAAP operating profit and non-GAAP operating margin are defined to exclude the effects of any restructuring charges, charges relating to the impairment of goodwill and purchased intangible assets, charges relating to the amortization of purchased intangible assets, and acquisition-related charges recorded during the relevant period. Non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share consist of net earnings or diluted net earnings per share excluding those same charges. In addition, non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share are adjusted by the amount of additional taxes or tax benefit associated with each non-GAAP item. HP's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for purposes of evaluating HP's historical and prospective financial performance, as well as HP's performance relative to its competitors. HP's management also uses these non-GAAP measures to further its own understanding of HP's segment operating performance. HP believes that excluding those items mentioned above from these non-GAAP financial measures allows HP management to better understand HP's consolidated financial performance in relationship to the operating results of HP's segments, as management does not believe that the excluded items are reflective of ongoing operating results. More specifically, HP's management excludes each of those items mentioned above for the following reasons:

Gross cash is a non-GAAP measure that is defined as cash and cash equivalents plus short-term investments and certain long-term investments that may be liquidated within 90 days pursuant to the terms of existing put options or similar rights. Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations less net capital expenditures. HP's management uses gross cash and free cash flow for the purpose of determining the amount of cash available for investment in HP's businesses, funding strategic acquisitions, repurchasing stock and other purposes. HP's management also uses gross cash and free cash flow for the purposes of evaluating HP's historical and prospective liquidity, as well as to further its own understanding of HP's segment operating results. Because gross cash includes liquid assets that are not included in GAAP cash and cash equivalents, HP believes that gross cash provides a more accurate and complete assessment of HP's liquidity and segment operating results. Because free cash flow includes the effect of capital expenditures that are not reflected in GAAP cash flow from operations, HP believes that free cash flow provides a more accurate and complete assessment of HP's liquidity and capital resources.

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

Material Limitations Associated with Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
These non-GAAP financial measures may have limitations as analytical tools, and these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of HP's results as reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations in relying on these non-GAAP financial measures are:

Compensation for Limitations Associated with Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
HP compensates for the limitations on its use of non-GAAP operating profit, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, gross cash, free cash flow, net debt and operating company net debt by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally. HP also provides robust and detailed reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP measure within this press release and in other written materials that include these non-GAAP financial measures, and HP encourages investors to review carefully those reconciliations.

Usefulness of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Investors
HP believes that providing non-GAAP operating profit, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, gross cash, free cash flow, net debt and operating company net debt to investors in addition to the related GAAP measures provides investors with greater transparency to the information used by HP's management in its financial and operational decision-making and allows investors to see HP's results "through the eyes" of management. HP further believes that providing this information better enables HP's investors to understand HP's operating performance and to evaluate the efficacy of the methodology and information used by management to evaluate and measure such performance. Disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures also facilitates comparisons of HP's operating performance with the performance of other companies in HP's industry that supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures that are calculated in a similar manner.
