Asset management
HP generated $2.6 billion in cash flow from operations in the fourth quarter, down 3% from the prior-year period. Inventory ended the quarter at $6.5 billion, up 3 days year over year to 30 days. Accounts receivable ended the quarter at $13.4 billion, up 3 days year over year to 47 days. Accounts payable ended the quarter at $16.0 billion, up 7 days year over year to 74 days.

HP's dividend payment of $0.176 per share in the fourth quarter resulted in cash usage of $337 million. HP also utilized $301 million of cash during the quarter to repurchase approximately 10.8 million shares of common stock in the open market. HP ended the quarter with $17.7 billion in gross cash.

HP generated $6.5 billion in cash flow from operations in fiscal 2015. HP utilized almost $2.9 billion of cash during fiscal 2015 to repurchase approximately 82 million shares of common stock in the open market.

Fiscal 2015 fourth quarter segment results (Segment results related to Hewlett Packard Enterprise will not be included going forward)

Outlook for HP Inc.
Beginning in the first fiscal quarter of 2016, HP Inc. will make a reporting change related to non-operational pension and post-retirement items. Specifically, the change relates to the expected market-driven performance of the plan assets and interest rate movements and infrequent events in determining pension and post-retirement benefit income or expense. These items include interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortized actuarial losses or gains, and curtailments and settlements. The company considers these market-related items to be outside the operational performance of the business and will exclude them from the non-GAAP financial presentation.

Accordingly, for fiscal 2016, HP estimates non-GAAP diluted net EPS to be in the range of $1.59 to $1.69 and GAAP diluted net EPS to be in the range of $1.50 to $1.60. Fiscal 2016 non-GAAP diluted net EPS estimates exclude after-tax costs estimated to be approximately $0.09 per share, related primarily to the exclusion of non-operating pension and post-retirement benefit income, as well as restructuring charges, separation costs and the amortization of intangible assets.

For the fiscal 2016 first quarter, HP estimates non-GAAP diluted net EPS to be in the range of $0.33 to $0.38 and GAAP diluted net EPS to be in the range of $0.27 to $0.32. Fiscal 2016 first quarter non-GAAP diluted net EPS estimates exclude after-tax costs estimated to be approximately $0.06 per share, related primarily to the exclusion of non-operating pension and post-retirement benefit income, as well as the restructuring charges, separation costs, and the amortization of intangible assets.

The free cash flow outlook is updated to be $2.4 billion to $2.7 billion for fiscal 2016, down $100 million due to the payment of separation costs that moved from fiscal 2015 to fiscal 2016.

"In these challenging markets, we are taking decisive actions that will protect our core business which generates the majority of our cash flows," said Dion Weisler, president and chief executive officer, HP Inc. "We firmly believe in our strategy and, given our scale, innovation, channel reach and brand, we are well positioned to gain profitable share in the markets where we choose to play."

(a) Effective at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal 2015, HP      
    implemented an organizational change to align its segment financial     
    reporting more closely with its current business structure. This        
    organizational change resulted in the transfer of third party multi-    
    vendor support arrangements from the Technology Services business unit  
    within the Enterprise Group segment to the Infrastructure Technology    
    Outsourcing business unit within the Enterprise Services segment. HP    
    reflected this change to its segment information in prior reporting     
    periods on an as-if basis, which resulted in the removal of intersegment
    revenue from the Technology Services business unit within the Enterprise
    Group segment and the related corporate intersegment revenue            
    eliminations, and the transfer of operating profit from the Technology  
    Services business unit within the Enterprise Group segment to the       
    Infrastructure Technology Outsourcing business unit within the          
    Enterprise Services segment. This change had no impact on HP's          
    previously reported consolidated net revenue, earnings from operations, 
    net earnings or net earnings per share.                                 
                                                                            
(b) In connection with the separation, effective at the beginning of its    
    fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, HP implemented an organizational change  
    which resulted in the transfer of marketing optimization solutions      
    business from the Software segment to the Commercial Hardware business  
    unit within the Commercial Hardware business unit within the Printing   
    segment. HP reflected this change to its segment information in prior   
    reporting periods on an as-if basis, which resulted in the transfer of  
    net revenue from the Software segment to the Commercial Hardware        
    business unit within the Printing segment. This change also resulted in 
    the transfer of operating profit from the Software segment to the       
    Printing segment. This change had no impact on HP's previously reported 
    consolidated net revenue, earnings from operations, net earnings or net 
    earnings per share.

(a) Effective at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal 2015, HP      
    implemented an organizational change to align its segment financial     
    reporting more closely with its current business structure. This        
    organizational change resulted in the transfer of third party multi-    
    vendor support arrangements from the Technology Services business unit  
    within the Enterprise Group segment to the Infrastructure Technology    
    Outsourcing business unit within the Enterprise Services segment. HP    
    reflected this change to its segment information in prior reporting     
    periods on an as-if basis, which resulted in the removal of intersegment
    revenue from the Technology Services business unit within the Enterprise
    Group segment and the related corporate intersegment revenue            
    eliminations, and the transfer of operating profit from the Technology  
    Services business unit within the Enterprise Group segment to the       
    Infrastructure Technology Outsourcing business unit within the          
    Enterprise Services segment. This change had no impact on HP's          
    previously reported consolidated net revenue, earnings from operations, 
    net earnings or net earnings per share.                                 
                                                                            
(b) In connection with the separation, effective at the beginning of its    
    fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, HP implemented an organizational change  
    which resulted in the transfer of marketing optimization solutions      
    business from the Software segment to the Commercial Hardware business  
    unit within the Commercial Hardware business unit within the Printing   
    segment. HP reflected this change to its segment information in prior   
    reporting periods on an as-if basis, which resulted in the transfer of  
    net revenue from the Software segment to the Commercial Hardware        
    business unit within the Printing segment. This change also resulted in 
    the transfer of operating profit from the Software segment to the       
    Printing segment. This change had no impact on HP's previously reported 
    consolidated net revenue, earnings from operations, net earnings or net 
    earnings per share.

(a) Effective at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal 2015, HP      
    implemented an organizational change to align its segment financial     
    reporting more closely with its current business structure. This        
    organizational change resulted in the transfer of third party multi-    
    vendor support arrangements from the Technology Services business unit  
    within the Enterprise Group segment to the Infrastructure Technology    
    Outsourcing business unit within the Enterprise Services segment. HP    
    reflected this change to its segment information in prior reporting     
    periods on an as-if basis, which resulted in the removal of intersegment
    revenue from the Technology Services business unit within the Enterprise
    Group segment and the related corporate intersegment revenue

(a) Effective at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal 2015, HP      
    implemented an organizational change to align its segment financial     
    reporting more closely with its current business structure. This        
    organizational change resulted in the transfer of third party multi-    
    vendor support arrangements from the Technology Services business unit  
    within the Enterprise Group segment to the Infrastructure Technology    
    Outsourcing business unit within the Enterprise Services segment. HP    
    reflected this change to its segment information in prior reporting     
    periods on an as-if basis, which resulted in the removal of intersegment
    revenue from the Technology Services business unit within the Enterprise
    Group segment and the related corporate intersegment revenue            
    eliminations, and the transfer of operating profit from the Technology  
    Services business unit within the Enterprise Group segment to the       
    Infrastructure Technology Outsourcing business unit within the          
    Enterprise Services segment. This change had no impact on HP's          
    previously reported consolidated net revenue, earnings from operations, 
    net earnings or net earnings per share.                                 
                                                                            
(b) In connection with the separation, effective at the beginning of its    
    fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, HP also implemented an organizational    
    change which resulted in the transfer of marketing optimization         
    solutions business from the Software segment to the Commercial Hardware 
    business unit within the Printing segment. HP reflected this change to  
    its segment information in prior reporting periods on an as-if basis,   
    which resulted in the transfer of net revenue from the Software segment 
    to the Printing segment. This change also resulted in the transfer of   
    operating profit from the Software segment to the Printing segment. This
    change had no impact on HP's previously reported consolidated net       
    revenue, earnings from operations, net earnings or net earnings per     
    share.

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

These non-GAAP financial measures are not computed in accordance with, or as an alternative to, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to net revenue on a constant currency basis is net revenue.

The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP earnings from operations is earnings from operations. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP operating margin is operating margin. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP net earnings is net earnings. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share is diluted net earnings per share. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to gross cash is cash and cash equivalents. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to free cash flow is cash flow from operations. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to net capital expenditures is investments in property, plant and equipment. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to net debt and operating company net debt is total company debt. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to each of net cash and operating company net cash is cash and cash equivalents. Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP information are included in the tables above or elsewhere in the materials accompanying this news release.

Use and economic substance of non-GAAP financial measures
Net revenue on a constant currency basis assumes no change in the foreign exchange rate from the prior-year period. Non-GAAP operating profit and non-GAAP operating margin are defined to exclude the effects of any charges relating to the amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges, charges relating to the separation transaction, acquisition and other related charges, impairment of data center assets, and defined benefit plan settlement charges. Non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share consist of net earnings or diluted net earnings per share excluding those same charges in addition to separation related charges included in interest and other, net. In addition, non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share are adjusted by the amount of additional taxes or tax benefits associated with each non-GAAP item and other tax benefits or charges as a consequence of the separation transaction. HP's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for purposes of evaluating HP's historical and prospective financial performance, as well as HP's performance relative to its competitors. HP's management also uses these non-GAAP measures to further its own understanding of HP's segment operating performance. HP believes that excluding the items mentioned above from these non-GAAP financial measures allows HP's management to better understand HP's consolidated financial performance in relation to the operating results of HP's segments, as HP's management does not believe that the excluded items are reflective of ongoing operating results. More specifically, HP's management excludes each of those items mentioned above for the following reasons:

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

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

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

Compensation for limitations associated with use of non-GAAP financial measures
HP compensates for the limitations on its use of non-GAAP financial measures by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally. HP also provides robust and detailed reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP measure within this news release and in other written materials that include these non-GAAP financial measures, and HP encourages investors to review carefully those reconciliations.

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