Note 1: Overview and Basis of Presentation

Overview

        On November 1, 2015 (the "Distribution Date"), Hewlett-Packard Company completed the separation of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company ("Hewlett Packard Enterprise"), Hewlett-Packard Company's former enterprise technology infrastructure, software, services and financing businesses (the "Separation"). In connection with the Separation, Hewlett-Packard Company changed its name to HP Inc. ("HP").

        On the Distribution Date, each of HP's stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 21, 2015 (the "Record Date") received one share of Hewlett Packard Enterprise common stock for every one share of HP common stock held as of the Record Date. Hewlett Packard Enterprise is now an independent public company trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "HPE". HP distributed a total of approximately 1.8 billion shares of Hewlett Packard Enterprise common stock to HP's stockholders. After the Separation, HP does not beneficially own any shares of Hewlett Packard Enterprise common stock.

        In connection with the Separation, HP and Hewlett Packard Enterprise have entered into a separation and distribution agreement as well as various other agreements that provide a framework for the relationships between the parties going forward, including among others a tax matters agreement, an employee matters agreement, a transition service agreement, a real estate matters agreement, a master commercial agreement and an information technology service agreement. For more information on the impacts of these agreements, see Note 5, "Retirement and Post-Retirement Benefit Plans", Note 6, "Stock-Based Compensation", Note 7 "Taxes on Earnings", Note 14, "Litigation and Contingencies" and Note 15, "Guarantees, Indemnifications and Warranties".

Basis of Presentation

        The accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements of HP and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are prepared in conformity with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). HP has eliminated all intercompany accounts and transactions. The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal adjustments that are necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. This interim information should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015. The historical results of operations and financial position of Hewlett Packard Enterprise are included in the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and reported as discontinued operations in all periods presented within this Form 10-Q. Fiscal 2015 information in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements have been revised to reflect the effect of the Separation, except balances related to stockholders' (deficit) equity. The historical statements of comprehensive income and cash flows have not been revised to reflect the effect of the Separation. For further information on discontinued operations, see Note 2, "Discontinued Operations".

Principles of Consolidation

        The Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements include the accounts of HP and its subsidiaries and affiliates in which HP has a controlling financial interest or is the primary beneficiary. HP accounts

for investments in companies over which HP has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not hold a controlling interest under the equity method, and HP records its proportionate share of income or losses in Interest and other, net in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. HP presents non-controlling interests as a separate component within Total stockholders' (deficit) equity in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

Reclassifications

        HP has made certain segment and business unit realignments in order to optimize its operating structure. Reclassifications of certain 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 ("EPS"). See Note 3, "Segment Information, for a further discussion of HP's segment realignment.

Use of Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. 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.

Accounting Pronouncements

        In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance which amends the existing accounting standards for leases. Consistent with current guidance, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification. Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. HP is required to adopt the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 using a modified retrospective approach. HP is currently evaluating the timing and the impact of these amendments on its Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

        In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance which amends the existing accounting standards for the recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. The updated guidance primarily addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. HP is required to adopt the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The amendments should be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption, with other amendments related specifically to equity securities without readily determinable fair values applied prospectively. HP is currently evaluating the timing and the impact of these amendments on its Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

        In November 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to income taxes to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes. This guidance requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. HP early adopted this new accounting guidance prospectively for the interim period beginning November 1, 2015. The adoption of this new accounting guidance resulted in all deferred tax liabilities and assets to be classified as

10

Note 1: Overview and Basis of Presentation (Continued)

noncurrent on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets for the interim period beginning November 1, 2015. See Note 7, "Taxes on Earnings", for additional information related to the presentation of deferred income taxes.

        In April 2015, the FASB amended the existing accounting standards for intangible assets. The amendments provide explicit guidance to customers in determining the accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement, wherein the arrangements that do not convey a software license to the customer are accounted for as service contracts. HP is required to adopt the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2017; however early adoption is permitted. The amendment may be adopted either prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date or retrospectively. HP is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on its Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

        In April 2015, the FASB amended the existing accounting standards for imputation of interest. The amendments require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by these amendments. HP is required to adopt the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively with the adjusted balance sheet of each individual period presented, in order to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. HP is currently evaluating the timing and the impact of these amendments on its Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

        In May 2014, the FASB amended the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. The amendments are based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard update for a one-year deferral of the effective date, with an option of applying the standard on the original effective date, which for HP is the first quarter of fiscal 2018. In accordance with this deferral, HP is required to adopt these amendments in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The amendments may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. HP is continuing to evaluate the impact of these amendments and the transition alternatives on its Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

        In April 2014, the FASB issued guidance which changes the criteria for identifying a discontinued operation. The guidance limits the definition of a discontinued operation to the disposal of a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. HP has adopted the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and prepared the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements consistent with the provisions of the guidance. See Note 2, "Discontinued Operations", for additional information.

Note 2: Discontinued Operations

        On November 1, 2015, HP completed the Separation of Hewlett Packard Enterprise. After the Separation, HP does not beneficially own any shares of Hewlett Packard Enterprise common stock.

        In connection with the Separation, HP and Hewlett Packard Enterprise have entered into a separation and distribution agreement as well as various other agreements that provide a framework for the relationships between the parties going forward, including among others a tax matters agreement, an employee matters agreement, a transition service agreement, a real estate matters agreement, a master commercial agreement and an information technology service agreement. These agreements provide for the allocation between HP and Hewlett Packard Enterprise of assets, employees, liabilities and obligations (including investments, property, employee benefits and tax-related assets and liabilities) attributable to periods prior to, at and after the Separation and govern certain relationships between HP and Hewlett Packard Enterprise after the Separation.

        HP no longer consolidates Hewlett Packard Enterprise within its financial results of continuing operations. The financial results of Hewlett Packard Enterprise are presented as (loss) earnings from discontinued operations, net of taxes on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. Discontinued operations include results of Hewlett Packard Enterprise's business and separation costs primarily related to third-party consulting, contractor fees and other related costs.

        The following table presents the financial results of HP's discontinued operations:

        There were no significant non-cash items or capital expenditures of discontinued operations for the three months ended January 31, 2016. For the three months ended January 31, 2015, significant non-cash items and capital expenditures of discontinued operations are outlined below:

Note 3: Segment Information (Continued)

        The accounting policies HP uses to derive segment results are substantially the same as those used by the Company in preparing these financial statements. HP derives the results of the business segments directly from its internal management reporting system. Segment net revenue includes revenues from sales to external customers and intersegment revenues that reflect transactions between the segments on an arm's-length basis. HP's consolidated net revenue is derived and reported after the elimination of intersegment revenues from such arrangements.

        HP periodically engages in intercompany advanced royalty payment arrangements that may result in advance payments between subsidiaries. Revenues from these intercompany arrangements are deferred and recognized as earned over the term of the arrangement by the HP legal entities involved in such transactions; however, these advanced payments are eliminated from revenues as reported by HP and its business segments. As disclosed in Note 7, "Taxes on Earnings", in fiscal 2015, HP executed an intercompany advanced royalty payment arrangement which resulted in advanced payments of $3.8 billion, with a deferral of intercompany revenues over the term of the arrangements, which is approximately 5 years. The payments were received in the U.S. from a foreign consolidated affiliate, with a deferral of intercompany revenues over the term of the arrangement, as disclosed above. The impact of these intercompany arrangements is eliminated from both HP consolidated and segment net revenues.

        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, restructuring charges, amortization of intangible assets and non-operating retirement-related credits.

Segment Realignment and Reporting Changes

        Effective at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal 2016, HP implemented an organizational change to align its segment financial reporting more closely with its current business structure. In addition, 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 organizational and reporting changes had an immaterial impact to previously reported segment net revenue and earnings from operations. These changes had no impact on HP's previously reported consolidated net revenue, earnings from operations, net earnings or net earnings per share.

Fiscal 2015 Plan

        In connection with the Separation, on September 14, 2015, HP's Board of Directors approved a cost saving plan which includes labor and non-labor actions which will be implemented through fiscal 2016. HP estimates that it will incur aggregate pre-tax charges of approximately $300 million which relate to workforce reductions, real estate consolidation and other non-labor charges. HP expects approximately 3,000 employees will exit by the end of fiscal 2016.

Note 5: Retirement and Post-Retirement Benefit Plans

        The components of HP's pension and post-retirement benefit (credit) cost recognized in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings were as follows:

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.

        For fiscal 2016, HP expects to contribute approximately $18 million to its non-U.S. pension plans, $36 million to cover benefit payments to U.S. non-qualified plan participants and $43 million to cover benefit claims under HP's post-retirement benefit plans. During the three months ended January 31, 2016, HP contributed $3 million to its non-U.S. pension plans, $8 million to cover benefit payments to U.S. non-qualified plan participants, and $8 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 6: Stock-Based Compensation

        HP's stock-based compensation plans permit the issuance of restricted stock awards, stock options and performance-based awards.

        In connection with the Separation and in accordance with the employee matters agreement, HP has made certain adjustments to the exercise price and number of stock-based compensation awards with the intention of preserving the intrinsic value of the awards prior to the Separation. Exercisable and non-exercisable stock options have been converted to similar awards of the entity where the employee is working post-separation. Restricted stock unit awards and performance-contingent awards have been adjusted to provide holders restricted stock units and performance-contingent awards in the company that employs such employee following the separation. The pre-tax stock-based compensation expense due to the adjustments was $2 million for the three months ended January 31, 2016. All outstanding restricted stock awards and stock options for employees transferred to Hewlett Packard Enterprise were cancelled (the "Cancelled Awards") in connection with the Separation.

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

Restricted Stock Awards

        Restricted stock awards are non-vested stock awards that may include grants of restricted stock or restricted stock units. For the three months ended January 31, 2016, HP granted only restricted stock units. HP uses the closing stock price of the grant date to estimate the fair value of service-based restricted stock units. HP estimates the fair value of restricted stock units subject to performance-adjusted vesting conditions using a combination of the closing stock price of the grant date and the Monte Carlo simulation model. The weighted-average fair value and the assumptions used to measure

fair value of restricted stock units subject to performance-adjusted vesting conditions in the Monte Carlo simulation model were as follows:

        A summary of restricted stock award activity is as follows:

        At January 31, 2016, there was $275 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 1.7 years.

Note 6: Stock-Based Compensation (Continued)

        A summary of stock option activity is as follows:

        The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value that option holders would have realized had all option holders exercised their options on the last trading day of the first quarter of fiscal 2016. The aggregate intrinsic value is the difference between HP's closing stock price on the last trading day of the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options. The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the three months ended January 31, 2016 was $2 million.

        At January 31, 2016, there was $33 million of unrecognized pre-tax, stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options, which HP expects to recognize over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 2.3 years.

Note 7: Taxes on Earnings

Tax Matters Agreement and Other Income Tax Matters

        In connection with the Separation, HP entered into a Tax Matters Agreement (the "Tax Matters Agreement") with Hewlett Packard Enterprise effective on November 1, 2015 that governs the rights and obligations of HP and Hewlett Packard Enterprise for certain pre-Separation tax liabilities. The Tax Matters Agreement provides that HP and Hewlett Packard Enterprise will share certain pre-Separation income tax liabilities that arise from adjustments made by tax authorities to HP and Hewlett Packard Enterprise's U.S. and certain non-U.S. income tax returns. In certain jurisdictions HP and Hewlett Packard Enterprise have joint and several liability for past income tax liabilities and accordingly, HP could be legally liable under applicable tax law for such liabilities and required to make additional tax payments.

        In addition, if the distribution of Hewlett Packard Enterprise's common shares to the HP stockholders is determined to be taxable, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and HP would share the tax liability equally, unless the taxability of the distribution is the direct result of action taken by either

Hewlett Packard Enterprise or HP subsequent to the distribution in which case the party causing the distribution to be taxable would be responsible for any taxes imposed on the distribution.

        Upon completion of the Separation on November 1, 2015, HP recorded income tax indemnification receivables from Hewlett Packard Enterprise for certain income tax liabilities that HP is jointly and severally liable for, but for which it is indemnified by Hewlett Packard Enterprise under the Tax Matters Agreement. The actual amount that Hewlett Packard Enterprise may be obligated to pay HP could vary depending upon the outcome of certain unresolved tax matters, which may not be resolved for several years. The net receivable as of January 31, 2016 was $892 million.

Provision for Taxes

        HP's effective tax rate for continuing operations was 22.0% and 22.7% for the three months ended January 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. HP's effective tax rate generally differs from the U.S. federal statutory 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 U.S.

        During the three months ended January 31, 2016, HP recorded $54 million of net tax benefits related to items unique to the year in the provision for taxes for continuing operations. This amount included a tax benefit of $41 million arising from the retroactive research and development credit provided by the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016 signed into law in December 2015, a tax benefit of $6 million on restructuring charges, and a tax benefit of $39 million related to provision to return adjustments. These tax benefits were offset by tax charges of $27 million related to uncertain tax positions and $5 million related to various other items.

        During the three months ended January 31, 2015, HP recorded $26 million of net tax benefits related to items unique to the year in the provision for taxes for continuing operations. These amounts included a tax benefit of $26 million arising from the retroactive research and development credit provided by the Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014 signed into law in December 2014, a tax benefit of $12 million on separation charges, a tax benefit of $3 million on restructuring charges, and a tax benefit of $11 million for adjustments related to uncertain tax positions. These tax benefits were offset by a tax charge of $26 million related to provision to return adjustments.

Uncertain Tax Positions

        HP is subject to income tax in the U.S. and approximately 57 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. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") is conducting an audit of HP's 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 income tax returns. HP has received from the IRS Notices of Deficiency for its fiscal 1999, 2000, 2003, 2004 and 2005 tax years, and Revenue Agent Reports ("RAR") for its fiscal 2001, 2002, 2006, 2007 and 2008 tax years. The proposed IRS adjustments for these tax years would, if sustained, reduce the benefits of tax refund claims HP has filed for net operating loss carrybacks to earlier fiscal years and tax credit carryforwards to subsequent years by approximately $445 million. In addition, HP expects the IRS to issue an RAR for 2009 through 2011 relating to certain tax positions taken on the filed tax returns,

Note 7: Taxes on Earnings (Continued)

including matters related to the U.S. taxation of certain intercompany loans. While the RAR may be material in amount, HP believes it has valid positions supporting its tax returns and, if necessary, it will vigorously defend such matters.

        HP has filed petitions with the U.S. Tax Court regarding certain proposed IRS adjustments regarding tax years 1999 through 2003 and is continuing to contest additional adjustments proposed by the IRS for other tax years. The U.S. Tax Court ruled in May 2012 against HP regarding one of the IRS adjustments for which HP has filed a formal Notice of Appeal. The Court proceedings are expected to begin in fiscal 2016.

        With respect to major state and foreign tax jurisdictions, HP is no longer subject to tax authority examinations for years prior to 1999. No material tax deficiencies have been assessed in major state or foreign tax jurisdictions during the reporting period.

        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 HP's 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 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, 2016, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $9.3 billion, of which up to $3.2 billion would affect HP's effective tax rate if realized. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits increased by $55 million for the three months ended January 31, 2016 primarily related to tax attributes. HP continues to record its tax liabilities related to uncertain tax positions and certain liabilities for which it has joint and several liability with Hewlett Packard Enterprise. During the period, as part of the Separation, HP distributed $756 million of liabilities related solely to uncertain tax positions associated with Hewlett Packard Enterprise. HP and Hewlett Packard Enterprise have contractually agreed to share the responsibility of certain tax exposures, and as such have recorded indemnification assets and liabilities pursuant to the executed Tax Matters Agreement. HP recognizes interest income from favorable settlements and interest expense and penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for taxes in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. As of January 31, 2016, HP had accrued $140 million for interest and penalties.

        HP engages in continuous discussion and negotiation with taxing authorities regarding tax matters in various jurisdictions. HP does not expect complete resolution of any IRS 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 $76 million within the next 12 months.

Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities

        In 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-17, "Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes", which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes. This guidance requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as non-current in a classified statement of financial position. This guidance may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax assets and liabilities or retrospectively to all periods presented. HP early adopted the FASB's new accounting guidance prospectively for the interim period beginning November 1, 2015; thus, the prior reporting period was not retrospectively adjusted.

        HP periodically engages in intercompany advanced royalty payment arrangements that may result in advance payments between subsidiaries in different tax jurisdictions. When the local tax treatment of the intercompany licensing arrangements differs from U.S. GAAP treatment, deferred taxes are recognized. During fiscal 2015, HP executed an intercompany advanced royalty payment arrangement which resulted in advanced payments of $3.8 billion, with a deferral of intercompany revenues over the term of the arrangements, which is approximately 5 years. There was no recognition of any net U.S. deferred tax assets as a result of this transaction. In these transactions, the payments were received in the U.S. from a foreign consolidated affiliate, with a deferral of intercompany revenues over the term of the arrangement, which is approximately 5 years. Intercompany royalty revenue is eliminated in consolidation.

Note 8: Balance Sheet Details (Continued)

        The allowance for doubtful accounts related to accounts receivable and changes were as follows:

        HP has third-party arrangements, consisting of revolving short-term financing, which provide liquidity to certain partners in order to facilitate their working capital requirements. These financing arrangements, which in certain circumstances may contain partial recourse, result in a transfer of HP's receivables and risk, to the third-party. As these transfers qualify as true sales under the applicable accounting guidance, the receivables are derecognized from the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets upon transfer, and HP receives a payment for the receivables from the third-party within a mutually agreed upon time period. For arrangements involving an element of recourse, the recourse obligation is measured using market data from the similar transactions and reported as a current liability in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The recourse obligations as of January 31, 2016 and October 31, 2015 were not material. As of January 31, 2016 and October 31, 2015 HP had $89 million and $93 million respectively, outstanding from the third parties which is reported in Accounts receivable on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The costs associated with the sales of trade receivables for the three months ended January 31, 2016 and January 31, 2015 were not material.

        The following is a summary of the activity under these arrangements:

Note 9: 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

        HP uses valuation techniques that are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are developed using market data such as publicly available information and reflect the assumptions market participants would use, while unobservable inputs are developed using the best information available about the assumptions market participants would use. 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 for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and market-corroborated inputs.

        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.

Note 9: Fair Value (Continued)

        The following table presents HP's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

        There were no transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended January 31, 2016.

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 investments was based on quoted market prices or model-driven valuations using inputs primarily derived from or corroborated by observable market data, and, in certain instances, valuation models that utilize assumptions which cannot be corroborated with observable market data.

        Derivative Instruments: From time to time HP uses forward contracts, interest rate and total return swaps and option contracts to hedge certain foreign currency and interest rate exposures. HP uses industry standard valuation models to measure fair value. Where 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 currency rates, and forward and spot prices for currencies and interest rates. See Note 10, "Financial Instruments" for a further discussion of HP's use of derivative instruments.

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 on 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 $6.5 billion at January 31, 2016, compared to its carrying amount of $6.7 billion at that date. The estimated fair value of HP's short- and long-term debt approximated its carrying value of $8.9 billion at October 31, 2015. 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 included 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 2 or 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 goodwill, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, are recorded at fair value in the period an impairment charge is recognized. If measured at fair value in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets, these would generally be classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Cash Equivalents and Available-for-Sale Investments

        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, 2016 and October 31, 2015, the carrying amount of cash equivalents approximated fair value due to the short period of time to maturity. Time deposits were primarily issued by institutions outside the U.S. as of January 31, 2016 and October 31, 2015. The estimated fair value of the available-for-sale investments may not be representative of values that will be realized in the future.

        Equity securities in privately held companies include cost basis and equity method investments and are included in Other non-current assets in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. These amounted to $14 million and $13 million at January 31, 2016 and October 31, 2015, respectively.

Derivative Instruments

        HP uses derivatives to offset business exposure to foreign currency and interest rate risk on expected future cash flows and on certain existing assets and liabilities. As part of its risk management strategy, HP uses derivative instruments, primarily forward contracts, interest rate swaps, total return swaps and, at times, option contracts to hedge certain foreign currency, interest rate and, to a lesser extent, equity exposures. HP may designate its derivative contracts as fair value hedges or cash flow 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 with the activities that correspond to the underlying hedged items 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. Master netting agreements mitigate credit exposure to counterparties by permitting HP to net amounts due from HP to counterparty against amounts due to HP from the same counterparty under certain conditions. To further limit credit risk, 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 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 of the derivatives' net liability position. The fair value of derivatives with credit contingent features in a net liability position was $79 million and $138 million at January 31, 2016 and October 31, 2015, respectively, all of which were fully collateralized within two business days.

        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 or cash flows as of January 31, 2016 and October 31, 2015.

Fair Value Hedges

        HP enters into fair value hedges, such as interest rate swaps, to reduce the exposure of its debt portfolio to changes in fair value resulting from changes in interest rates by achieving a primarily U.S. dollar London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR")-based floating interest expense.

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

Note 10: Financial Instruments (Continued)

Cash Flow Hedges

        HP uses forward contracts and at times, option contracts 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, hedges related to longer term procurement arrangements extend several years and forward contracts associated with intercompany loans extend for the duration of the lease or loan term, which typically range from two to five years.

        For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, HP initially records changes in fair value for the effective portion of the derivative instrument in Accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of stockholders' (deficit) 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.

Net Investment Hedges

        HP used forward contracts designated as net investment hedges to hedge net investments in certain foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency was the local currency. As part of the Separation, HP disposed of all these foreign subsidiaries and no longer utilizes net investment hedges. HP recorded the effective portion of such derivative instruments together with changes in the fair value of the hedged items in Cumulative translation adjustment as a separate component of stockholders' (deficit) equity.

Other Derivatives

        Other derivatives not designated as hedging instruments consist primarily of forward contracts used to hedge foreign currency-denominated balance sheet exposures. HP uses total return swaps to hedge its executive deferred compensation plan liability.

        For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, HP recognizes changes in fair value of the derivative instrument, as well as the offsetting change in the fair value of the hedged item, in Interest and other, net in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings in the period of change.

Hedge Effectiveness

        For interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges, HP measures hedge effectiveness by offsetting the change in fair value of the hedged item with the change in fair value of the derivative. For foreign currency options and forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges, HP measures hedge effectiveness by comparing the cumulative change in fair value of the hedge contract with the cumulative change in fair value of 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

Long-Term Debt

        As disclosed in Note 10 "Financial Instruments", HP uses interest rate swaps to mitigate some of the exposure of its debt portfolio to changes in fair value resulting from changes in interest rates by achieving a primarily U.S. dollar LIBOR-based floating interest expense. Interest rates shown in the table of long-term debt have not been adjusted to reflect the impact of any interest rate swaps.

believes it has recorded adequate provisions for any such matters and, as of January 31, 2016, 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. Pursuant to the separation and distribution agreement, HP shares responsibility with Hewlett Packard Enterprise for certain matters, as indicated below, and HP is indemnified in whole or in part by Hewlett Packard Enterprise for certain matters. 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") 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 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.

        In September 2003, VerwertungsGesellschaft Wort ("VG Wort"), a collection agency representing certain copyright holders, 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 compounded 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 Court of Justice of the European Union ("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 issued a decision on July 3, 2014 partially granting the claim of VG Wort. The German Federal Supreme Court decision provides that levies are due for audiovisual copying of standing text and pictures using a PC as the last device in a single reproduction process under the control of the same person, but no levies are due on a PC for reprographic copies made using a "PC-printer" or a "scanner-PC-printer" chain. The case has been remitted to the Munich Court of Appeals to assess the amount to be paid per PC unit.

        Reprobel, a cooperative society with the authority to collect and distribute the remuneration for reprography to Belgian copyright holders, requested by extrajudicial 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. The case was heard by the CJEU on January 29, 2015 and on November 12, 2015, the CJEU published its judgment providing that a national legislation such as the Belgian one at issue in the main proceedings is incompatible with EU law in multiple legal points, as argued by HP. The Court of Appeal of Brussels now has to rule on the litigation between HP and Reprobel following the answers provided by the CJEU.

        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.

        Memjet Technology Ltd. v. HP.    On August 11, 2015, Memjet Technology Ltd. ("Memjet") filed a lawsuit against HP in U.S. District Court in the Southern District of California. The complaint alleges that HP infringes eight Memjet patents. The products accused of infringement are those that use the HP PageWide Technology, including the OfficeJet Pro X series, OfficeJet Enterprise X series, HP

PageWide XL, wide scan printers, and printers using 4.25-inch thermal inkjet printheads, such as HP Web Presses and Photo Kiosks. On October 2, 2015, HP answered Memjet's complaint and asserted a counter-claim against Memjet for infringement of four HP patents. The products accused of infringement include various Memjet OEM printers that incorporate Memjet's printheads and print engines. On November 20, 2015, HP asserted three additional patents against Memjet. The patents asserted by both parties generally relate to inkjet printhead and print system technology. Both Memjet's and HP's respective complaints seek injunctive relief and monetary damages from the other party for alleged patent infringement. On November 16, 2015, Memjet was granted an ex parte preliminary injunction in Germany (State Court Munich), against HP Deutschland GmbH's sale and offers for sale of HP PageWide XL printers. Memjet's injunction request alleged that HP infringed one European patent. On January 29, 2016, the court lifted the preliminary injunction. In its written judgment dated February 2, 2016 the court ruled that Memjet had not satisfied the requirements for an injunction, as the HP PageWide XL printers do not appear to infringe the Memjet patent at issue and there was a lack of urgency for a preliminary injunction. Memjet may appeal the decision. On January 28, 2016, HP filed a claim in Ireland for declaratory relief that HP does not infringe the same patent and for revocation of the patent's Irish counterpart, and HP also filed a claim in the UK for declaratory relief and revocation of the patent's UK counterpart.

        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 Limited ("HP India"), a subsidiary of HP, seven HP India employees and one former HP India employee alleging that HP India 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 India 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 India products and spare parts and to not interrupt the transaction of business by HP 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 HP India and the named individuals of approximately $386 million, of which HP India had already deposited $9 million. On December 11, 2012, HP India voluntarily deposited an additional $10 million in connection with the products-related show cause notice. The differential duty demand is subject to interest. On April 20, 2012, the Commissioner issued an order on the parts-related show cause notice affirming certain duties and penalties against HP India and certain of the named individuals of approximately $17 million, of which HP India had already deposited $7 million. After the order, HP India deposited an additional $3 million in connection with the parts-related show cause notice so as to avoid certain penalties.

        HP India 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 HP India to deposit an additional $24 million against the products order, which HP India deposited in March 2013. The Customs Tribunal did not order any additional deposit to be made under the parts order. In December 2013, HP India 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 India and the individuals already granted until final disposition of the appeals.

February 7, 2014, the application for extension of the stay of deposit was granted by the Customs Tribunal until disposal of the appeals. On October 27, 2014, the Customs Tribunal commenced hearings on the cross-appeals of the Commissioner's orders. The Customs Tribunal rejected HP India's request to remand the matter to the Commissioner on procedural grounds. The hearings scheduled to reconvene on April 6, 2015 and again on November 3, 2015 were cancelled at the request of the Customs Tribunal. A new hearing date has been set for April 11, 2016. Pursuant to the separation and distribution agreement, Hewlett Packard Enterprise will indemnify HP in part, based on the extent to which any liability arises from the products and spare parts of Hewlett Packard Enterprise's businesses.

        Russia GPO and Other Anti-Corruption Investigations.    The German Public Prosecutor's Office ("German PPO") has been conducting an investigation into allegations that current and former employees of HP 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 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 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 Regional Court of Leipzig will determine whether the matter should be admitted to trial. The Polish Central Anti-Corruption Bureau is also investigating potential corrupt actions by a former employee of Hewlett-Packard Polska Sp. z o.o., a former indirect subsidiary of HP, in connection with certain public-sector transactions in Poland. HP is cooperating with these investigating agencies.

        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. Pursuant to the separation and distribution agreement, HP and Hewlett Packard Enterprise share equally the cost and any damages arising from the following matters:

•

A.J. Copeland v. Léo Apotheker, et al. is a lawsuit that was filed on February 10, 2014 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California alleging, among other things, that the defendants used their control over HP and its corporate suffrage process in effectuating, directly participating in and/or aiding and abetting violations of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder, and violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment, and breach of the duty of candor. The claims arise out of the circumstances at HP relating to its 2013 and 2014 proxy statements, the departure of Mark Hurd as Chairman of HP's Board of Directors and HP's Chief Executive Officer, alleged violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and HP's acquisition of 3PAR Inc. and Autonomy Corporation plc. On February 25, 2014, the court issued an order granting HP's administrative motion to relate this

Lane, et al by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed the dismissal of Copeland v. Lane, et al on October 25, 2015. The deadline for the plaintiff to file an amended complaint was extended to March 9, 2016 and a case management conference is scheduled for April 14, 2016.

•

Cement & Concrete Workers District Council Pension Fund v. Hewlett-Packard Company, et al. is a putative securities class action filed on August 3, 2012 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California alleging, among other things, that from November 13, 2007 to August 6, 2010 the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act by making statements regarding HP's Standards of Business Conduct ("SBC") that were false and misleading because Mr. Hurd, who was serving as HP's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer during that period, had been violating the SBC and concealing his misbehavior in a manner that jeopardized his continued employment with HP. On February 7, 2013, the defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint. On August 9, 2013, the court granted the defendants' motion to dismiss with leave to amend the complaint by September 9, 2013. The plaintiff filed an amended complaint on September 9, 2013, and the defendants moved to dismiss that complaint on October 24, 2013. On June 25, 2014, the court issued an order granting the defendants' motions to dismiss and on July 25, 2014, plaintiff filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. On November 4, 2014, the plaintiff-appellant filed its opening brief in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. HP filed its answering brief on January 16, 2015 and the plaintiff-appellant's reply brief was filed on March 2, 2015. Oral argument has not yet been scheduled.

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 ("DOJ") 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, DOJ representatives 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. On January 19, 2015, the U.K. Serious Fraud Office notified HP that it was closing its investigation and had decided to cede jurisdiction of the investigation to the U.S. authorities. HP is cooperating with the DOJ and the SEC, whose investigations are ongoing.

        Litigation.    As described below, HP is involved in various stockholder litigation relating to, among other things, its October 2011 acquisition of Autonomy and its November 20, 2012 announcement that it recorded a non-cash charge for the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets within Hewlett Packard Enterprise's 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. Pursuant to the separation and distribution agreement, HP and Hewlett Packard Enterprise share equally the cost and any damages arising from these litigation matters. These matters include the following:

•

In re Hewlett-Packard Shareholder Derivative Litigation (the "Federal Court Derivative Action") consists of seven consolidated lawsuits filed beginning on November 26, 2012 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California alleging, among other things, that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act by concealing material information and making false statements related to HP's acquisition of Autonomy and the financial performance of HP's enterprise services business. 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 Intelligent Data Operating Layer 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, corporate waste and were unjustly enriched. The litigation was stayed until June 2014. The lead plaintiff filed a stipulation of proposed settlement on June 30, 2014. The court declined to grant preliminary approval to this settlement, and, on December 19, 2014, also declined to grant preliminary approval to a revised version of the settlement. On January 22, 2015, the lead plaintiff moved for preliminary approval of a further revised version of the settlement. On March 13, 2015, the court issued an order granting preliminary approval to the settlement. On July 24, 2015, the court held a hearing to entertain any remaining objections to the settlement and decide whether to grant final approval of the settlement. On July 30, 2015, the court granted final approval to the settlement and denied all remaining objections to the settlement. Three objectors to the settlement appealed the court's final approval order to the Ninth Circuit. Plaintiffs-appellants filed their opening briefs on December 30, 2015. HP's response brief was filed on February 29, 2016, and the reply brief is due 14 days after service of the response brief.

In re HP ERISA Litigation consists of three consolidated putative class actions filed beginning on December 6, 2012 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California alleging, among other things, that from August 18, 2011 to November 22, 2012, the defendants breached their fiduciary obligations to HP's 401(k) Plan and its participants and thereby violated Sections 404(a)(1) and 405(a) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, by concealing negative information regarding the financial performance of Autonomy and HP's enterprise services business and by failing to restrict participants from investing in HP stock. On August 16, 2013, HP filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. On March 31, 2014, the court granted HP's motion to dismiss this action with leave to amend. On July 16, 2014, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint containing substantially similar allegations and seeking substantially similar relief as the first amended complaint. On June 15, 2015, the court granted HP's motion to dismiss the second amended complaint in its entirety and denied plaintiffs leave to file another amended complaint. On July 2, 2015, plaintiffs have appealed the court's order to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

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 noncompliant 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.

        The separation and distribution agreement includes provisions that provide for the allocation of environmental liabilities between HP and Hewlett Packard Enterprise including certain remediation obligations; responsibilities arising from the chemical and materials composition of our respective products, their safe use and their energy consumption; obligations under product take back legislation that addresses the collection, recycling, treatment and disposal of products; and other environmental matters. HP will generally be responsible for environmental liabilities related to the properties and other assets, including products, allocated to HP under the separation and distribution agreement and other ancillary agreements. Under these agreements, HP will indemnify Hewlett Packard Enterprise for liabilities for specified ongoing remediation projects, subject to certain limitations, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise has a payment obligation for a specified portion of the cost of those remediation projects. In addition, HP will share with Hewlett Packard Enterprise other environmental liabilities as set forth in the separation and distribution agreement. HP is indemnified in whole or in part by Hewlett Packard Enterprise for liabilities arising from the assets assigned to Hewlett Packard Enterprise and for certain environmental matters as detailed in the separation and distribution agreement.

Note 15: Guarantees, Indemnifications and Warranties

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.

Indemnifications

        In the ordinary course of business, HP enters into contractual arrangements under which HP may agree to indemnify a 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 and customers against claims of IP infringement made by third parties arising from the vendors' and customers' use of HP's software products and services and certain other matters. Some indemnifications may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. Historically, payments made related to these indemnifications have been immaterial.

        Under the separation and distribution agreement, HP agreed to indemnify Hewlett Packard Enterprise, each of its subsidiaries and each of their respective directors, officers and employees from and against all liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from, among other matters, the liabilities allocated to HP as part of the Separation. Hewlett Packard Enterprise similarly agreed to indemnify HP, each of its subsidiaries and each of their respective directors, officers and employees from and against all liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from, among other matters, the liabilities allocated to Hewlett Packard Enterprise as part of the Separation. HP expects Hewlett Packard Enterprise to fully perform under the terms of the separation and distribution agreement.

Warranties

        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 and ongoing product failure rates, as well as specific product class failures outside of HP's baseline experience, affect the estimated warranty obligation.

HP Inc. Separation Transaction

        On November 1, 2015 (the "Distribution Date"), we completed the separation of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company ("Hewlett Packard Enterprise"), Hewlett-Packard Company's former enterprise technology infrastructure, software, services and financing businesses (the "Separation"). In connection with the Separation, Hewlett-Packard Company changed its name to HP Inc. ("HP").

        On the Distribution Date, each of our stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 21, 2015 (the "Record Date") received one share of Hewlett Packard Enterprise common stock for every one share of our common stock held as of the Record Date. We distributed a total of approximately 1.8 billion shares of Hewlett Packard Enterprise common stock to our stockholders. Hewlett Packard Enterprise is now an independent public company trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "HPE". After the Separation, we do not beneficially own any shares of Hewlett Packard Enterprise common stock.

        The historical results of operations and financial positions of Hewlett Packard Enterprise are reported as discontinued operations in our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. For further

OVERVIEW

        We are a leading global provider of personal computing and other access devices, imaging and printing products, and related technologies, solutions, and services. We sell to individual consumers, small- and medium-sized businesses ("SMBs") and large enterprises, including customers in the government, health, and education sectors. We have three segments for financial reporting purposes: Personal Systems, Printing and Corporate Investments. The Personal Systems segment offers commercial personal computers ("PCs"), consumer PCs, workstations, thin clients, tablets, retail point-of-sale systems, calculators and other related accessories, software, support, and services for the commercial and consumer markets. The Printing segment provides consumer and commercial printer hardware, supplies, media, solutions and services, as well as scanning devices.

•

In Personal Systems, our strategic focus is on profitable growth through improved market segmentation with respect to enhanced innovation in multi-operating systems, multi-architecture, geography, customer segments and other key attributes. Additionally, HP is investing significantly in premium and mobility form factors such as convertible notebooks, detachable notebooks, and commercial tablets in order to meet customer preference for mobile, thinner and lighter devices. We anticipate gradual recovery in the market long-term given our product lineup and roadmap, broadly combined with our strength in commercial markets and the increased acceptance of Windows 10, combined with Intel's Skylake processor family transition, which may represent a catalyst for demand among commercial customers.



•

In Printing, our strategic focus is in areas such as business printing which includes delivering solutions to SMB and Enterprise customers such as multi-function and PageWide printers, including our newly launched JetIntelligence lineup of LaserJet printers; shift to contractual solutions that include Managed Print Services and Instant Ink which presents strong aftermarket supplies opportunities; and graphics, with innovation such as our Indigo product offerings. We plan to continue to focus on shifting the mix in the installed base to higher value units and expanding our innovative ink, laser and graphics programs. We continue to execute on our key initiatives of focusing on products targeted at high usage categories and introducing new revenue delivery models. In the consumer market, our Ink in the Office initiative is continuing to shift the installed base to more valuable units. In the commercial market, our focus is on placing higher value printer units which offers positive annuity of toner and ink as well as accelerating growth in graphic solutions products.

        We continue to experience challenges that are representative of trends and uncertainties that may affect our business and results of operations. One set of challenges relates to dynamic and accelerating market trends such as the decline in the PC market. A second set of challenges relates to changes in the competitive landscape. Our primary competitors are exerting increased competitive pressure in targeted areas and are entering 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 our go-to-market execution.

•

In Personal Systems, we are witnessing soft demand in the Personal Computer ("PC") market as customers hold onto their PCs longer, thereby extending PC refresh cycles. Demand for PCs is

being impacted by weaker macroeconomic conditions and currency depreciation in Latin America, Canada and certain Asian and European markets. Additionally, industry wide, PC channels in some regions are working through excess channel inventory, which is impacting sell in. As such, we anticipate continued market headwinds for the next several quarters.

In Printing, we are experiencing the impact of demand challenges in consumer and commercial markets. We are also experiencing an overall competitive pricing environment due to aggressive pricing from our Japanese competitors, given the weakness of the Japanese yen.

        To address these challenges, we continue to pursue 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 continuing operating results, see the section entitled "Risk Factors" in Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015.

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. Our management believes that there have been no significant changes during the three months ended January 31, 2016 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, 2015.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        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 net 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 performance excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, we present the year-over-year percentage change in net revenue on a constant currency basis, which assumes no change in foreign currency exchange rates from the prior-year period and doesn't adjust for any repricing or demand impacts from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. This information is provided so that net revenue can be viewed without the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, which is consistent with how management

evaluates our net revenue 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 net 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.

        Results of operations in dollars and as a percentage of net revenue were as follows:

Net Revenue

        During the three months ended January 31, 2016, total net revenue declined 11.6% (declined 4.9% on a constant currency basis) as compared to the prior-year period. U.S. net revenue decreased 4.9% to $4.2 billion and net revenue from international operations decreased 14.8% to $8.0 billion.

        The primary factors contributing to the net revenue decline were unfavorable currency impacts and an overall competitive pricing environment driven by weak market demand and economic slowdown. We experienced a net revenue decline across all regions. The net revenue decline was partially offset by the recognition of revenue, during the three months ended January 31, 2016, which was previously deferred in relation to sales to the pre-Separation finance entity. These effects were in addition to elimination of intercompany sales to the pre-Separation finance entity during the prior-year period, which is included in discontinued operations.

        A detailed discussion of the factors contributing to the changes in segment net revenue is included under "Segment Information" below.

Gross Margin

        HP gross margin decreased by 0.7 percentage points for the three months ended January 31, 2016 as compared to the prior-year period. The primary factors impacting gross margin performance were unfavorable currency impacts and a competitive pricing environment across LaserJet and Inkjet businesses, partially offset by favorable commodity costs, pricing and mix in Personal Systems and a higher proportion of ink and graphics supplies sales in Printing. A detailed discussion of the factors contributing to the changes in segment gross margins is included under "Segment Information" below.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development

        R&D expense decreased 4% for the three months ended January 31, 2016 as compared to the prior-year period, due primarily to favorable currency impacts.

Selling, General and Administrative

        SG&A expense decreased 15% for the three months ended January 31, 2016 as compared to the prior-year period. The decline was due primarily to lower corporate governance and other overhead costs which were related to the pre-Separation combined entity and favorable currency impacts.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

        Amortization of intangible assets decreased for the three months ended January 31, 2016 as compared to the prior year period, due primarily to intangible assets associated with the Compaq trade name reaching the end of its amortization period.

Restructuring Charges

        Restructuring charges increased for the three months ended January 31, 2016 as compared to the prior year period, due to charges in connection with the multi-year plan announced in September 2015 (the "2015 Plan") in connection with the Separation.

Interest and Other, Net

        Interest and other, net expense decreased by $27 million for the three months ended January 31, 2016 as compared to the prior-year period. The decline was due primarily to a lower volume of foreign currency transactions and losses during the first quarter of fiscal 2016. These losses were partially offset by higher interest expense due to an increase in weighted average interest rate, lower interest income and a decline in other miscellaneous income.

Provision for Taxes

        Our effective tax rate for continuing operations was 22.0% and 22.7% for the three months ended January 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Our effective tax rate generally differs from the U.S. federal statutory 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 U.S.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

        During the three months ended January 31, 2016, we recorded $54 million of net tax benefits related to discrete items in the provision for taxes for continuing operations. This amount included a tax benefit of $41 million arising from the retroactive research and development credit provided by the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016 signed into law in December 2015, a tax benefit of $6 million on restructuring charges, and a tax benefit of $39 million related to provision to return adjustments. These tax benefits were offset by tax charges of $27 million related to uncertain tax positions and $5 million related to various other items.

        During the three months ended January 31, 2015, we recorded $26 million of net tax benefits related to discrete items in the provision for taxes for continuing operations. These amounts included a tax benefit of $26 million arising from the retroactive research and development credit provided by the Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014 signed into law in December 2014, a tax benefit of $12 million on separation charges, a tax benefit of $3 million on restructuring charges, and a tax benefit of $11 million for adjustments related to uncertain tax positions. These tax benefits were offset by a tax charge of $26 million related to provision to return adjustments.

Segment Information

        A description of the products and services for each segment can be found in Note 3, "Segment Information" to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I, 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 its first quarter of fiscal 2016, HP implemented an organizational change to align its segment financial reporting more closely with its current business structure. In addition, 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. 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 organizational and reporting changes had an immaterial impact to previously reported segment net revenue and earnings from operations. These changes had no impact on HP's previously reported consolidated net revenue, earnings from operations, net earnings or net earnings per share.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

        The components of net revenue and the weighted net revenue change by business unit were as follows:

        Personal Systems net revenue decreased 12.8% (decreased 6.0% on a constant currency basis) for the three months ended January 31, 2016 as compared to the prior-year period. The net revenue decline in Personal Systems was due primarily to unfavorable currency impacts and weak market demand. Personal Systems net revenue decreased as a result of a 13% decline in unit volume while the average selling prices ("ASPs") remained flat. The unit volume decline was due primarily to an overall decline in desktops and consumer notebooks, partially offset by a unit volume growth in commercial notebooks. The ASPs remained flat as unfavorable currency impacts were offset by favorable mix and pricing.

        Net revenue for commercial clients decreased 11% and consumer clients decreased 16% due primarily to unfavorable currency impacts and weak market demand. Net revenue declined 11% in Notebooks, 14% in Desktops, 16% in Workstations and 20% in Other. The net revenue decline in Other was due primarily to a decline in the sales of consumer tablets.

        Personal Systems earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue decreased by 0.4 percentage points for the three months ended January 31, 2016 as compared to the prior-year period as a result of flat gross margin and an increase in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue. Gross margin remained flat due primarily to favorable commodity costs combined with favorable pricing and mix, the effects of which were offset by unfavorable currency impacts. Operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue increased due to the decline in net revenues.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

        The components of net revenue and weighted net revenue change by business unit were as follows:

        Printing net revenue decreased 17.0% (decreased 10.7% on a constant currency basis) for the three months ended January 31, 2016 as compared to the prior-year period. The decline in net revenue was primarily driven by unfavorable currency impacts and competitive pricing pressures in part due to, weak market demand and economic slowdown. These factors resulted in a net revenue decline across Supplies and Inkjet and LaserJet printers. Net revenue for Supplies decreased 14% due primarily to unfavorable currency impacts, demand weakness and a competitive pricing environment. Printer unit volume decreased 20% while the average revenue per unit ("ARU") declined 1%. Printer unit volume decreased due primarily to us driving more pricing discipline in the market, particularly in Inkjet printers, weak market demand and focus on placing higher value units. Printer ARU declined due primarily to a highly competitive pricing environment and unfavorable currency impacts in LaserJet and Inkjet printers, partially offset by a mix shift to high-value printers.

        Net revenue for Commercial Hardware decreased 13% as compared to the prior-year period driven by a 15% decline in unit volume and flat ARU, partially offset by an increase in other peripheral printing solutions. The unit volume in Commercial Hardware declined due primarily to a decline in LaserJet printers, particularly mono laser printers. The ARU remained flat in Commercial Hardware due primarily to an ARU decline in LaserJet printers driven by unfavorable currency impacts, offset by a higher mix of high-value printer sales. Net revenue for Consumer Hardware decreased 46% as compared to the prior-year period due to a 23% decline in printer unit volume, 15% decline in ARU and a decline in other printing solutions largely driven by the divestiture of Snapfish in the prior-year period. The unit volume decline in Consumer Hardware was due primarily to us driving more pricing discipline in the market and continued efforts to target high-value areas of the market which resulted in lower sales of home printers as well as weakness in demand. The ARU decline in Consumer Hardware was due primarily to increased discounting in SMB printers driven by a highly competitive pricing environment as well as unfavorable currency impacts in Inkjet printers.

        Printing earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue decreased by 1.8 percentage points for the three months ended January 31, 2016 as compared to the prior-year period due to a decline in gross margin and an increase in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue. The gross margin decline was due primarily to unfavorable currency impacts and competitive pricing across LaserJet and Inkjet businesses, partially offset by a higher proportion of ink and graphics supplies sales. Operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue increased due to the decline in net revenue. Printing operating expenses declined as a result of favorable currency impacts and cost-saving initiatives.

Corporate Investments

        Corporate Investments loss from operations increased from $5 million to $23 million, for the three months ended January 31, 2016 as compared to the prior-year period. The decrease was due primarily to expenses associated with incubation projects.

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, separation activities, principal and interest payments on debt, income tax payments and the payment of stockholder dividends, in addition to investments and share repurchases. We are able to supplement this short-term liquidity, if necessary, with broad access to capital markets and credit facilities made available by various domestic and foreign financial institutions. While our access to capital markets may be constrained and our cost of borrowing may increase under certain business, market and economic conditions, our access to a variety of funding sources to meet our liquidity needs is designed to facilitate continued access to capital resources under all such conditions. Our liquidity is subject to various risks including the risks identified in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of Part II in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015 and the market risks identified in the section entitled "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" in Item 3 of Part I, which are incorporated herein by reference.

        Our cash balances are held in numerous locations throughout the world, with the vast majority of those amounts held outside of the U.S. 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 U.S. 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 U.S. Most of the amounts held outside of the U.S. could be repatriated to the U.S. but, under current law, some would be subject to U.S. federal income taxes, less applicable foreign tax credits. Repatriation of some foreign earnings is restricted by local law. Except for foreign earnings that are considered indefinitely reinvested outside of the U.S., 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 U.S. 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 U.S. to have a material effect on our overall liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.

Liquidity

        On November 1, 2015, we completed the separation of Hewlett Packard Enterprise and the distribution to our shareholders who received one share of Hewlett Packard Enterprise common stock

63

Table of Contents

HP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

for every one share of HP common stock held as of the Record Date. In the three months ended January 31, 2016, we made a final net cash transfer of $526 million to Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

Operating Activities

        Compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2015, net cash from operating activities decreased by $852 million for the three months ended January 31, 2016, due primarily to the earnings of the discontinued operations.

Working Capital Metrics:

        Management utilizes current cash conversion cycle information to manage HP's working capital levels. The table below presents the cash conversion cycle information for the quarter ended January 31, 2016.

        The cash conversion cycle is the sum of DSO and DOS less DPO. Items which may cause the cash conversion cycle in a particular period to differ from a long-term sustainable rate include, but are not limited to, changes in business mix, changes in payment terms, extent of receivables factoring, seasonal trends and the timing of revenue recognition and inventory purchases within the period.

        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. The decrease in DSO was due primarily to favorable revenue linearity partially offset by lower usage of cash discounts by our customers and the impact of the deferred revenue reversal related to our pre-Separation finance entity.

        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. The decrease in DOS was primarily due to strong inventory management.

HP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

        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. The decrease in DPO was the result of unfavorable purchasing linearity, volume and supplier mix.

Investing Activities

        Compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2015, net cash used in investing activities decreased by $727 million for the three months ended January 31, 2016, due primarily to lower capital expenditures as a result of the Separation of Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

Financing Activities

        Compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2015, net cash used in financing activities increased by $11.4 billion for the three months ended January 31, 2016, due primarily to the cash transfer of $10.4 billion to Hewlett Packard Enterprise in connection with the Separation and the early repayment of $2.1 billion of U.S. Dollar Global Notes.

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, our cost of capital and targeted capital structure. Outstanding borrowings decreased to $6.7 billion as of January 31, 2016, as compared to $8.9 billion as of October 31, 2015, bearing weighted-average interest rates of 4.1% for January 31, 2016 and 3.7% for October 31, 2015. During the first three months of fiscal 2016, we repaid $2.1 billion of U.S. Dollar Global Notes.

        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 10, "Financial Instruments", to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Available Borrowing Resources

        As of January 31, 2016, we had available borrowing resources of $4.0 billion from our commercial paper program and $881 million from uncommitted lines of credit. For more information on our borrowings, see Note 11, "Borrowings", to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I, 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. 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 to our credit ratings by any rating agencies may further impact us in a similar manner, and, depending on the extent of any such downgrade, could have a negative impact on our liquidity and capital position. We can rely

on alternative sources of funding, including drawdowns under our credit facilities, if necessary, to offset potential reductions in the market capacity for our commercial paper.

CONTRACTUAL AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS

Contractual Obligations

        As of January 31, 2016, our contractual obligations from continuing operations have not changed significantly since October 31, 2015. After the Separation, we have additional contractual obligations related to lease transactions with Hewlett Packard Enterprise's Financial Services. As of January 31, 2016, the total future lease obligations are as follows:

Retirement and Post-Retirement Benefit Plan Contributions

        As of January 31, 2016, we anticipate making contributions of approximately $15 million to our non-U.S. pension plans, $28 million to cover benefit payments to U.S. non-qualified pension plan participants and $35 million to cover benefit claims for our post-retirement benefit plans for the remainder of fiscal 2016. 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. For more information on our retirement and post-retirement benefit plans, see Note 5, "Retirement and Post-Retirement Benefit Plans", to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Cost Saving Plan

        On February 24, 2016, we announced the acceleration of our existing Fiscal 2015 Plan. We expect future cash payments of approximately $300 million in connection with this acceleration to be paid through fiscal 2016. For more information on our restructuring activities that are part of our cost improvements, see Note 4, "Restructuring", to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Uncertain Tax Positions

        As of January 31, 2016, we had approximately $2.3 billion of recorded liabilities and related interest and penalties pertaining to uncertain tax positions. 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. For more information on our uncertain tax positions, see Note 7, "Taxes on Earnings", to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Separation Costs

        As of January 31, 2016, we expect future cash payments of approximately $200 million in connection with our separation charges, which are expected to be paid in the remainder of fiscal 2016, with subsequent tax credit amounts expected over later years.

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 short-term financing arrangements intended to facilitate the working capital requirements of certain customers. For more information on our third-party short-term financing arrangements, see Note 8, "Balance Sheet Details", to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since October 31, 2015.

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.
