Revenue and EPS results
HP Inc. (HP) announced second quarter net revenue of $11.6 billion, down 11% (down 5% in constant currency) from the prior-year period.

Second quarter GAAP diluted net earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations was $0.38, down from $0.40 in the prior-year period and within the previously provided outlook of $0.33 to $0.38. Second quarter non-GAAP diluted net EPS from continuing operations was $0.41, up from $0.39 in the prior-year period and above its previously provided outlook of $0.35 to $0.40. Second quarter non-GAAP net earnings from continuing operations and non-GAAP diluted net EPS from continuing operations include after-tax adjustments of $42 million, or $0.03 per share, related to restructuring charges, the amortization of intangible assets, non-operating retirement-related credits, and tax indemnification amounts.

"This quarter we delivered strong results and solid progress towards our long term strategy," said Dion Weisler, HP's President and CEO. "We achieved our operational objectives, unleashed truly amazing innovations, and grew in strategic areas of our business, despite tough market conditions. I'm confident in our ability to execute and remain committed to our plan for growth."

Asset management
HP's net cash provided by operating activities in the second quarter was $1.6 billion. Accounts receivable ended the quarter at $3.9 billion, unchanged quarter over quarter at 30 days. Inventory ended the quarter at $3.5 billion, down 3 days quarter over quarter to 34 days. Accounts payable ended the quarter at $9.1 billion, up 6 days quarter over quarter to 88 days. HP's dividend payment of $0.124 per share in the second quarter resulted in cash usage of $0.2 billion. HP also utilized $0.3 billion of cash during the quarter to repurchase approximately 28.7 million shares of common stock in the open market. HP exited the quarter with $4.6 billion in gross cash, which includes cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and certain liquid long-term investments.

(a) Effective at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal 2016, HP      
    implemented a reporting change to provide better transparency to its    
    segment operating results. This reporting change resulted in the        
    exclusion of certain market-related factors such as interest cost,      
    expected return on plan assets, amortized actuarial gains/losses, and   
    impacts from other market-related factors related to its defined benefit
    pension and post-retirement benefit plans from its segment operating    
    results ("Non-operating retirement-related credits"). This change also  
    resulted in the exclusion of certain plan curtailments, settlements and 
    special termination benefits related to its defined benefit pension and 
    post-retirement benefit plans from HP's segment operating results.      
    Segment operating results will continue to include service costs and    
    amortization of prior service costs associated with HP's defined benefit
    pension and post-retirement benefit plans. The reporting change had an  
    immaterial impact to previously reported segment net revenue and        
    earnings from operations. This change had no impact on HP's previously  
    reported consolidated net revenue, earnings from operations, net

(a) Effective at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal 2016, HP      
    implemented a reporting change to provide better transparency to its    
    segment operating results. This reporting change resulted in the        
    exclusion of certain market-related factors such as interest cost,      
    expected return on plan assets, amortized actuarial gains/losses, and   
    impacts from other market-related factors related to its defined benefit
    pension and post-retirement benefit plans from its segment operating    
    results ("Non-operating retirement-related credits"). This change also  
    resulted in the exclusion of certain plan curtailments, settlements and 
    special termination benefits related to its defined benefit pension and 
    post-retirement benefit plans from HP's segment operating results.      
    Segment operating results will continue to include service costs and    
    amortization of prior service costs associated with HP's defined benefit
    pension and post-retirement benefit plans. The reporting change had an  
    immaterial impact to previously reported segment net revenue and        
    earnings from operations. 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 2016, HP      
    implemented a reporting change to provide better transparency to its    
    segment operating results. This reporting change resulted in the        
    exclusion of certain market-related factors such as interest cost,      
    expected return on plan assets, amortized actuarial gains/losses, and   
    impacts from other market-related factors related to its defined benefit
    pension and post-retirement benefit plans from its segment operating    
    results ("Non-operating retirement-related credits"). This change also  
    resulted in the exclusion of certain plan curtailments, settlements and 
    special termination benefits related to its defined benefit pension and 
    post-retirement benefit plans from HP's segment operating results.      
    Segment operating results will continue to include service costs and    
    amortization of prior service costs associated with HP's defined benefit
    pension and post-retirement benefit plans. The reporting change had an  
    immaterial impact to previously reported segment net revenue and        
    earnings from operations. 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 margin from continuing operations, non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share and gross cash. HP also provides forecasts of non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not computed in accordance with, or as an alternative to, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. 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 margin from continuing operations is defined to exclude the effects of any charges relating to restructuring charges, the amortization of intangible assets, non-operating retirement-related credits/(charges) and tax indemnification amounts. Non-GAAP net earnings from continuing operations and non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations consist of net earnings from continuing operations or diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations excluding those same charges. In addition, non-GAAP net earnings from continuing operations and non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations 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. HP's management uses gross cash for the purpose of determining the amount of cash available for investment in HP's businesses, repurchasing stock and other purposes. HP's management also uses gross cash 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 helpful assessment of HP's liquidity.

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 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 press release and in other written materials that include these non-GAAP financial measures, and HP encourages investors to review those reconciliations carefully.

Usefulness of non-GAAP financial measures to investors
HP believes that providing net revenue on a constant currency basis, non-GAAP operating margin from continuing operations, non-GAAP net earnings from continuing operations, non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations and gross 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 financial condition and to evaluate the efficacy of the methodology and information used by HP's management to evaluate and measure such performance and financial condition. Disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures also facilitates comparisons of HP's operating performance with the performance of other companies in HP's industry that supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures that may be calculated in a similar manner.
