Item 2.02

Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 
 

On February 18, 2009, Hewlett-Packard Company (“HP”) issued a press release relating to its fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2009 entitled HP Reports First Quarter 2009 Results. The text of this press release, with the related GAAP consolidated condensed statements of earnings, GAAP consolidated condensed balance sheets, adjustments to certain GAAP financial information, GAAP consolidated condensed statements of cash flows, certain segment and business unit financial results, and certain additional financial information, is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1. The information in Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) solely as a result of being included in Exhibit 99.1.

HPs GAAP consolidated condensed statements of earnings, GAAP consolidated condensed balance sheets and certain segment financial results for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2009 also are filed herewith as Exhibit 99.2. The information in Exhibit 99.2 is filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act and therefore may be incorporated by reference into filings under the Securities Act.

To supplement HPs 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 and gross cash. HP also provides forecasts of non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. A reconciliation of the adjustments to GAAP results for HPs fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2009 and prior periods is included in the tables that are a part of Exhibit 99.1. In addition, an explanation of the ways in which HP management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate its business, the substance behind HP managements decision to use these non-GAAP measures, the material limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP measures, the manner in which HP management compensates for those limitations, and the substantive reasons why HP management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors is included under Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information in Exhibit 99.1. This additional non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating profit, operating margin, net earnings, diluted earnings per share, or cash and cash equivalents prepared in accordance with GAAP.
 
At the beginning of each fiscal year, HP conducts a review of its financial reporting structure and determines whether changes should be made to align its financial reporting more closely with its business structure. As a result of HPs fiscal 2009 review, HP has implemented certain fiscal 2009 organizational realignments. To provide improved visibility and comparability, HP has reflected these realignments in prior periods on an as-if basis.  These realignments resulted in the transfer of revenue and operating profit among the Services, HP Software and Imaging and Printing Group financial reporting segments, and, with respect to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, certain stock-based compensation costs previously allocated to the Services segment were reclassified to unallocated corporate costs.  Revenue also was transferred among the business units within the Services, HP Software, Imaging and Printing Group and Personal Systems Group segments.  In addition, certain costs previously reported as costs of sales were reclassified as selling, general and administrative expenses to better align those costs with the functional areas that benefit from those expenditures.  None of these changes impacts HPs previously reported consolidated net revenue, earnings from operations, net earnings or net earnings per share.

 

As a result of these changes, HP released modified quarterly and year-to-date consolidated condensed statements of earnings and segment financial results for fiscal 2007 and 2008, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3. Exhibit 99.3 is filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act and therefore may be incorporated by reference into filings under the Securities Act. In addition, HP released revised segment and business unit revenue for fiscal 2007 and 2008, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.4.  Exhibit 99.4 is furnished herewith and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposed of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act.
