Table of Contentsprojects and venture focused minority investments, among others.
Sales, Marketing and Distribution
We manage our business and report our financial results based on the business segments described above. Our customers are organized by consumer and commercial customer groups, and purchases of HP products, solutions and services may be fulfilled directly by HP or indirectly through a variety of partners, including:
The mix of our business conducted by channel or direct sales or channel differs substantially by business and region. We believe that customer buying patterns and different regional market conditions require us to tailor our sales, marketing and distribution efforts accordingly. We are focused on driving the depth and breadth of our coverage, in addition to identifying efficiencies and productivity gains, in both our direct and indirect businesses. So, whileWhile each of our business segments manages the execution of its own go-to-market and distribution strategy, our business segments also collaborate to ensure strategic and process alignment where appropriate. For example, we typically assign an account manager generally from EG or ES, to manage relationships across our business with large enterprise customers. The account manager is supported by a team of specialists with product and services expertise. For other customers and for consumers, PPS typically manages direct online sales as well as channel relationships with retailers, while our business segments collaborate to manage relationships with commercial resellers targeting SMBs where appropriate.
Manufacturing and Materials
We utilize a significant number of outsourced manufacturers ("OMs") around the world to manufacture HP-designed products. The use of OMs is intended to generate cost efficiencies and reduce time to market for HP-designed products. We use multiple OMs to maintain flexibility in our supply chain and manufacturing processes. In some circumstances, third-party OEMs manufactureproduce products that we purchase and resell under the HP brand. In addition to our use of OMs, we currently manufacture a limited number of finished products from components and subassemblies that we acquire from a wide range of vendors.
We utilize two primary methods of fulfilling demand for products: building products to order and configuring products to order. We build products to order to maximize manufacturing and logistics efficiencies by producing high volumes of basic product configurations. Alternatively, configuring products to order permits configuration ofenables units to match a customer's particular hardware and software customization requirements. Our inventory management and distribution practices in both building
products to order and configuring products to order seek to minimize inventory holding periods by taking delivery of the inventory and manufacturing immediately prior toshortly before the sale or distribution of products to our customers.
We purchase materials, supplies and product subassemblies from a substantial number of vendors. For most of our products, we have existing alternate sources of supply or such alternate sources of supply are readily available. However, we do rely on sole sources for laser printer engines, LaserJet supplies, certain customized parts and parts for products with short life cycles (although some of these sources have operations in multiple locations in the event of a disruption). We are dependent upon Intel and AMD as suppliers of x86 processors and Microsoft for various software products; however, we believe that disruptions with these suppliers would result in industry-wide dislocations and therefore would not disproportionately disadvantage us relative to our competitors. See "Risk Factors—We depend on third-party suppliers, and our financial results could suffer if we fail to manage our suppliers properly,effectively," in Item 1A, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Like other participants in the IT industry, we ordinarily acquire materials and components through a combination of blanket and scheduled purchase orders to support our demand requirements for periods averaging 90 to 120 days. From time to time, we may experience significant price volatility or supply constraints for certain components that are not available from multiple sources. Frequently, we are able to obtain scarce components for somewhat higher prices on the open market, which may have an impact on our gross margin but does not generally disrupt production. We also aim tomay acquire component inventory in anticipation of supply constraints or enter into longer-term pricing
commitments with vendors to improve the priority, price and availability of supply.supplies. See "Risk Factors—We depend on third-party suppliers, and our financial results could suffer if we fail to manage our suppliers properly,effectively," in Item 1A, which is incorporated herein by reference.
International
Our products and services are available worldwide. We believe this geographic diversity allows us to meet demand on a worldwide basis for both consumer and enterprise customers, draws on business and technical expertise from a worldwide workforce, provides stability to our operations, allows us to drive economies of scale, provides revenue streams tothat may offset geographic economic trends and offers us an opportunity to access new markets for maturing products. In addition, we believe that future growth is dependent in part on our ability to develop products and sales models that target developing countries. In this regard, we believe that our broad geographic presence gives us a solid base on which to build such future growth.
A summary of our domestic and international net revenue and net property, plant and equipment is set forth in Note 182 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, which is incorporated herein by reference. Approximately 64% of our overall net revenue in fiscal 20132015 came from outside the United States.States ("U.S.").
For a discussion of risks attendant to HP's international operations, see "Risk Factors—Due to the international nature of our business, political or economic changes or other factors could harm our future revenue, costs and expenses,business and financial condition,performance," in Item 1A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk"Risk," in Item 7A and Note 911 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, which are incorporated herein by reference.
Research and Development
Innovation is a key element of our culture. Our development efforts are focused on designing and developing products, services and solutions that anticipate customers' changing needs and desires, and emerging technological trends. Our efforts also are focused on identifying the areas where we believe
we can make a unique contribution and the areas where partnering with other leading technology companies will leverage our cost structure and maximize our customers' experiences.
HP Labs, together with the various research and development groups within our business segments, are responsible for our research and development efforts. HP Labs is part of our Corporate Investments segment.
Expenditures for research and development were $3.5 billion in fiscal 2015, $3.4 billion in fiscal 2014 and $3.1 billion in fiscal 2013, $3.4 billion in fiscal 2012 and $3.3 billion in fiscal 2011.2013. We anticipate that we will continue to have significant research and development expenditures in the future to support the design and development of innovative, high-quality products and services to maintain and enhance our competitive position.
For a discussion of risks attendant to our research and development activities, see "Risk Factors—If we cannot successfully execute on our go-to-market strategy and continue to develop, manufacture and market innovative products and services, our business and solutions that meet customer requirements for innovation and quality, our revenue and gross marginfinancial performance may suffer," in Item 1A, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Patents
Our general policy has been to seek patent protection for those inventions likely to be incorporated into our products and services or where obtaining such proprietary rights will improve our competitive position. At October 31, 2013,2015, our worldwide patent portfolio included over 38,00033,000 patents, which representedrepresents a slight increasedecrease over the number of patents in our patent portfolio at the end of fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011.2014. As a result of the Separation, approximately 15,000 patents were transferred to Hewlett Packard Enterprise beginning November 1, 2015.
Patents generally have a term of twenty years from the date they are filed. As our patent portfolio has been built over time, the remaining terms of the individual patents across our patent portfolio vary. We believe that our patents and patent applications are important for maintaining the competitive differentiation of our products and services, enhancing our freedom of action to sell our products and services in markets in which we choose to participate, and maximizing our return on research and development investments. No single patent is in itself essential to HP as a whole or to any of HP's business segments.
In addition to developing our patent portfolio, we license intellectual property ("IP") from third parties as we deem appropriate. We have also granted and continue to grant to others licenses, and other rights, under our patents when we consider these arrangements to be in our interest. These license arrangements include a number of cross-licenses with third parties.
For a discussion of risks attendant to intellectual propertyIP rights, see "Risk Factors—Our revenue, cost of sales, and expensesfinancial performance may suffer if we cannot continue to develop, license or enforce the intellectual property rights on which our business depends or if third-parties assert that we violate their intellectual property rights,businesses depend," in Item 1A, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Backlog
We believe that backlog is not a meaningful indicator of future business prospects due to our diverse products and services portfolio, including the large volume of products delivered from shelffinished goods or channel partner inventories and the shortening of product life cycles. Therefore, we believe that backlog information is not material to an understanding of our overall business.
Seasonality
General economic conditions have an impact on our business and financial results. From time to time, the markets in which we sell our products and services experience weak economic conditions that may negatively affect sales. We experience some seasonal trends in the sale of our products and
services. For example, European sales are often are weaker in the summer months and consumer sales are often are stronger in the fourth calendar quarter. Demand during the spring and early summer months also may be adversely impacted by market anticipation of seasonal trends. See "Risk Factors—Our uneven sales cycle makes planning and inventory management difficult and future financial results less predictable," in Item 1A, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Competition
We encounter aggressivestrong competition in all areas of our business activity. We compete primarily on the basis of technology, performance, price, quality, reliability, brand, reputation, distribution, range of products and services, ease of use of our products, account relationships, customer training, service and support, security, availability of application software and internet infrastructure offerings.
The markets for each of our business segments are characterized by vigorousstrong competition among major corporations with long-established positions and a large number of new and rapidly growing firms. Most product life cycles are short, and to remain competitive we must develop new products and services, periodically enhance our existing products and services and compete effectively on the basis of the factors listed above. In addition, we compete with many of our current and potential partners, including OEMs that design, manufacture and often market their products under their own brand names. Our successful management of these competitive partner relationships will be critical to our future success. Moreover, we anticipate that we will have to continue to adjust prices on many of our products and services to stay competitive.
We have a broad technology portfolio spanning personal computing and other access devices, imaging and printing-related products and services, enterprise IT infrastructure products and solutions,
multi-vendor customer services and IT management software and solutions. We are the leader or among the leaders in each of our business segments.
The competitive environments in which each segment operates are described below:
Personal Systems. The markets in which Personal Systems operates are intenselyhighly competitive and are characterized by price competition and inventory depreciation. Contractioncompetition. The decline in the PC market and the ongoing shift inamong customers to tablets and other form factorsmobility products has further intensified competition in the PC market. Our primary competitors are Lenovo Group Limited ("Lenovo"), Dell Inc. ("Dell"), Acer Inc., ASUSTeK Computer Inc., Apple Inc., Toshiba Corporation and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. ("Samsung") (for tablets). In particular regions, we also experience competition from local companies and from generically-branded or "white box" manufacturers. Our competitive advantages include our broad product portfolio, our innovation and research and development capabilities, our brand and procurement leverage, our ability to cross-sell our portfolio of offerings, our extensive service and support offerings and the accessibility of our products through a broad-based distribution strategy from retail and commercial channels to direct sales.
Printing. The markets for printer hardware and associated supplies are highly competitive. Printing's key customer segments each face competitive market pressures in pricing and the introduction of new products. Our primary competitors include Canon U.S.A., Inc., Lexmark International, Inc., Xerox Corporation Ltd., Seiko Epson Corporation, The Ricoh Company Ltd,Ltd., Samsung and Brother Industries, Ltd. In addition, independent suppliers offer refill and remanufactured alternatives for HP original inkjet and toner supplies, which are often available for lower prices but generally offer lower print quality and reliability. Other competitors also have developed and marketed new compatible cartridges for HP's laser and inkjet products, particularly outside of the United StatesU.S. where intellectual propertyIP protection is inadequate or ineffective. Printing is focused on growth through innovation and growing long-term, high-value recurring business, accelerating the transition from analog to digital printing in graphics, commercial and production environments, driving web and mobile content solutions through our installed base of web-connected ePrinters and growing cloud-based,
document-centric commercial solutions and services. Our competitive advantages include our comprehensive solutions for the home, office and publishing environments, our innovation and research and development capabilities, our brand, and the accessibility of our products through a broad-based distribution strategy from retail and commercial channels to direct sales.
Enterprise Group. EG operates in the highly competitive enterprise technology infrastructure market that is characterized by rapid and ongoing technological innovation and price competition. Our primary competitors include technology vendors such as International Business Machines Corporation ("IBM"), Dell, EMC Corporation ("EMC"), Cisco Systems, Inc. ("Cisco"), Lenovo, Oracle Corporation ("Oracle"), Fujitsu Limited ("Fujitsu"), Inspur Co. Ltd., Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., NetApp, Inc., Hitachi Ltd., Juniper Networks, Inc., Arista Networks, Inc., Extreme Networks, Inc., Brocade Communications Systems, Inc., VMware, Microsoft, Google Inc., Rackspace Inc., and Amazon.com, Inc. ("Amazon"). In particularcertain regions, we also experience competition from local companies and from generically-branded or "white-box" manufacturers. Our strategy is to deliver superior products, high-value technology support services and differentiated integrated solutions that combine our infrastructure, software and services capabilities. Our competitive advantages areinclude our broad end-to-end solutions portfolio, supported by our strong intellectual propertyIP portfolio and research and development know-how,capabilities, coupled with our global reach and partner ecosystem.
Enterprise Services. ES competes in the IT services, consulting and integration, infrastructure technology outsourcing, business process outsourcing and application serviceservices markets. Our primary competitors include IBM Global Services, Computer Sciences Corporation, systems integration firms such as Accenture Ltd.plc and offshore companies such as Fujitsu Limited and India-based competitors Wipro Limited, Infosys Limited and Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. We also compete with other traditional hardware providers, such as Dell, which are increasingly offering services to support their products, new players in emerging areas like Cloud,cloud such as Amazon, and smaller local players. Many of our competitors offer a wide range of global services, and some of our competitors enjoy significant brand recognition. ES teams with many companies to offer services, and those arrangements allow us to
extend our reach and augment our capabilities. Our competitive advantages include our deep technology expertise, especially in complex multi-country, multi-vendor and/or multi-language environments, our differentiated intellectual property, ("IP"), our strong track record of collaboration with clients and partners, and the combination of our expertise in infrastructure management with skilled global resources on platforms from SAP AG ("SAP"), Oracle Corporation ("Oracle") and Microsoft, among others.
Software. The markets in which our Software segment operates are fueledcharacterized by rapidly changing customer requirements and technologies. We design and develop enterprise IT management software in competition with IBM, CA Technologies, Inc., VMware, BMC Software, Inc. and others. Our big data solutions, which include data analytics, information governance and digital marketing offerings incorporating both structured and unstructured data, compete with products from companies like Adobe Systems Inc., IBM, EMC, Open Text Corporation, Oracle and Symantec Corporation. We also deliver enterprise security/risk intelligence solutions that compete with products from EMC, IBM, Cisco and McAfee, Inc.Intel. As customers are becoming increasingly comfortable with newer delivery mechanisms such as software-as-a-service,SaaS, we are facing competition from smaller, less traditional competitors, particularly for customers with smaller IT organizations. Our differentiation lies in the breadth and depth of our software, our collaboration with EG and ES to provide comprehensive IT solutions and services portfolio and the scope of our market coverage.
HP Financial Services. In our financing business, our competitors are captive financing companies, mainly IBM Global Financing, as well as banks and other financial institutions.institutions in our financing business. We believe our competitive advantage in this business over banks and other financial institutions is our ability to finance products, servicesdeliver flexible investment solutions and total solutions.expertise that help customers and other partners create unique technology deployments based on specific business needs.
For a discussion of risks attendant to these competitive factors, see "Risk Factors—CompetitiveWe operate in an intensely competitive industry and competitive pressures could harm our revenue, gross marginbusiness and prospects,financial performance," in Item 1A, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Environment
Our operations are subject to regulation under various federal, state, local and foreign laws concerning the environment, including laws addressing the discharge of pollutants into the air and water, the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes, and the cleanup of contaminated sites. We could incur substantial costs, including cleanup costs, fines and civil or criminal sanctions, and third-party damage or personal injury claims, if we were to violate or become liable under environmental laws.
Many of our products are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign laws governing chemical substances in products and their safe use, including laws regulating the manufacture and distribution of chemical substances and laws restricting the presence of certain substances in electronics products. Some of our products also are, or may in the future be, subject to requirements applicable to their energy consumption. In addition, we face increasing complexity in our product design and procurement operations as we adjust to new and future requirements relating to the chemical and materials composition of our products, their safe use, and their energy efficiency, including requirements relating to climate change. We are also are 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"). In the event our products become non-compliant with these laws, our products could be restricted from entering certain jurisdictions and we could face other sanctions, including fines.
Our operations, and ultimately our products, are expected to become increasingly subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws, and regulations and international treaties relating to climate change.
As these laws, regulations, and treaties and similar initiatives and programs are adopted and implemented throughout the world, we will be required to comply or potentially face market access limitations or other sanctions, including fines. However, we believe that technology will be fundamental to finding solutions to achieve compliance with and manage those requirements, and we are collaborating with industry, business groups and governments to find and promote ways that HP technology can be used to address climate change and to facilitate compliance with related laws, regulations and treaties.
We are committed to maintaining compliance with all environmental laws applicable to our operations, products and services and to reducing our environmental impact across all aspects of our business. We meet this commitment with a comprehensive environmental, health and safety policy, strict environmental management of our operations and worldwide environmental programs and services.
A liability for environmental remediation and other environmental costs is accrued when we consider it probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Environmental costs and accruals are presently not material to our operations, cash flows or financial position. Although there is no assurance that existing or future environmental laws applicable to our operations or products will not have a material adverse effect on our operations, cash flows or financial condition, we do not currently anticipate material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities.
For a discussion of risks attendant to these environmental factors, see "Risk Factors—Unforeseen environmentalOur business is subject to various federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations that could result in costs couldor other sanctions that adversely affect our business and results of operations," in Item 1A, which is incorporated herein by reference. In addition, for a discussion of our environmental contingencies see Note 1716 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, which is also incorporated herein by reference.

The following discussion of risk factors contains forward-looking statements. These risk factors may be important for understanding any statement in this Form 10-K or elsewhere. The following information should be read in conjunction with Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation" and the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and SupplementalSupplementary Data" of this Form 10-K.
Because of the following factors, as well as other variables affecting our results of operations, past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods.
Risks related to our business
If we are unsuccessful at addressing our business challenges, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected and our ability to invest in and grow our business could be limited.
We are in the process of addressing many challenges facing our business. One set of challenges relates to dynamic and accelerating market trends, such as the decline in the PC market, the growth of multi-architecture devices running competing operating systems the market shift towards tablets within mobility, the market shiftand movement to cloud-related infrastructure, software, and services, and the growth in software-as-a-service business models. Anothercontinuous ink supply systems. A second set of challenges relates to changes in the competitive landscape. Our major competitors are expanding their product and service offerings with integrated products and solutions; our business-specific competitors are exerting increased competitive pressure in targeted areas and are going afterentering 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. For example, we may fail to develop innovative products and services, maintain the manufacturing quality of our products, manage our distribution network or successfully market new products and services, any of which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
In addition, we are facing a series of significant macroeconomic challenges, including weakness across many geographic regions, particularly in the United States, WesternCentral and NorthernEastern Europe and Russia, and certain countries and businesses in Asia. We may experience delays in the anticipated timing of activities related to our efforts to address these effortschallenges and higher than expected or unanticipated execution costs. In addition, we are vulnerable to increased risks associated with our efforts to address these effortschallenges given our large and diverse portfolio of businesses, the broad range of geographic regions in which we and our customers and partners operate, and the ongoing integration of acquired businesses. If we do not succeed in these efforts, or if these efforts are more costly or time-consuming than expected, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected, which could limit our ability to invest in and grow our business.
In May 2012, we announced a company-wide restructuring plan expected to be implemented through the end of fiscal 2014. The restructuring plan includes both voluntary early retirement programsWe operate in an intensely competitive industry and non-voluntary workforce reductions. Significant risks associated with these actions that may impair our ability to achieve anticipated cost reductions or that may otherwisecompetitive pressures could harm our business include delays in implementation of anticipated workforce reductions in highly regulated locations outside of the United States, particularly in Europe and Asia, decreases in employee morale and the failure to meet operational targets due to the loss of employees. In addition, our ability to achieve the anticipated cost savings and other benefits from these actions within the expected time frame is subject to many estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions are subject to significant economic, competitive and other uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. If these estimates and assumptions are incorrect, if we experience delays, or if other unforeseen events occur, our business and financial results could be adversely affected.
Competitive pressures could harm our revenue, gross margin and prospects.performance.
We encounter aggressive competition from numerous and varied competitors in all areas of our business, and our competitors may targethave targeted and are expected to continue targeting our key market segments. We compete primarily on the basis of our technology, innovation, performance, price, quality, reliability, brand, reputation, distribution, range of products and services, ease of use of our products, account relationships, customer training, service and support
security, availability of application software, and internet infrastructure offerings.security. If our products, services, support and cost structure do not enable us to compete successfully based on any of those criteria, our results of operations and business prospects could be harmed.
We have a large portfolio of businessesproducts and must allocate our financial, personnel and other resources across all of those businessesour products while competing with companies that have much smaller portfolios or
specialize in one or more of theseour product lines. As a result, we may invest less in certain areas of our businessesbusiness than our competitors do, and theseour competitors may have greater financial, technical and marketing resources available to them thancompared to the resources allocated to our businessesproducts and services that compete against them. Industry consolidation also may affect competition by creating larger, more homogeneous and potentially stronger competitors in the markets in which we compete, and our competitors also may affect our business by entering into exclusive arrangements with existing or potential customers or suppliers.their products.
Companies with whom we have alliances in somecertain areas may be or become our competitors in other areas. In addition, companies with whom we have alliances also may acquire or form alliances with our competitors, which could reduce their business with us. If we are unable to effectively manage these complicated relationships with alliance partners, our cash flowsbusiness and results of operations could be adversely affected.
We face aggressive price competition for our products and services and, as a result, we may have to continue lowering the prices of many of our products and services to stay competitive, while at the same time trying to maintain or improve our revenue and gross margin. In addition, competitors who have a greater presence in some of the lower-cost markets in which we compete, or who can obtain better pricing, more favorable contractual terms and conditions, or more favorable allocations of products and components during periods of limited supply, may be able to offer lower prices than we are able to offer. Our cash flows, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected by these and other industry-wide pricing pressures.
Industry consolidation may also affect competition by creating larger, more homogeneous and potentially stronger competitors in the markets in which we operate. Additionally, our competitors may affect our business by entering into exclusive arrangements with our existing or potential customers or suppliers.
Because our business model is based on providing innovative and high-quality products, we may spend a proportionately greater amount of our revenues on research and development than some of our competitors. If we cannot proportionately decrease our cost structure (apart from research and development expenses) on a timely basis in response to competitive price pressures, our gross margin and, therefore, our profitability could be adversely affected. In addition, if our pricing and other factorsfacets of our offerings are not sufficiently competitive, or if there is an adverse reaction to our product decisions, we may lose market share in certain areas, which could adversely affect our revenuefinancial performance and business prospects.
Even if we are able to maintain or increase market share for a particular product, revenueits financial performance could decline because the product is in a maturing industry or market segment or contains technology that is becoming obsolete. For example, our Storage business unit is experiencing the effects of a market transition towards converged products and solutions, which has led to a decline in demand for our traditional storage products. In addition, theFinancial performance of our Business Critical Systems business unit has been affected by the decline in demand for UNIX servers and concerns about the development of new versions of software to support our Itanium-based products. Revenue and margins also could decline due to increased competition from other types of products. For example, growing demand for an increasing array of mobile computing devices and the development of cloud-based solutions has reduced demand for some of our existing hardware products. In addition, refill and remanufactured alternatives for some of HP'sour LaserJet toner and inkjet cartridges compete with our printing supplies business.
If we cannot successfully execute on our go-to-market strategy and continue to develop, manufacture and market innovative products, services and solutions, that meet customer requirements for innovationour business and quality, our revenue and gross marginfinancial performance may suffer.
Our long-term strategy is focused on leveraging our existing portfolio of hardware, softwareproducts, services and services as we adaptsolutions to meet the demands of a continually changing technological landscape and hybrid modelto offset certain areas of IT delivery and consumption driven by the growing adoption of cloud computing and increased demand for integrated IT solutions.industry decline. To successfully execute
on this strategy, we needmust emphasize the aspects of our core business where demand remains strong, identify and capitalize on natural areas of growth, and innovate and develop new products and services that will enable us to continue evolvingexpand beyond our focus towards the delivery of integrated IT solutions for our customers and to continue to invest and expand into cloud computing, security, big data and mobility.existing technology categories. Any failure to successfully execute this strategy, including any failure to invest sufficiently in strategic growth areas, could adversely affect our business, results of operationoperations and financial results.condition.
The process of developing new high-technology products, software, services and solutions and enhancing existing hardware and software products, services and solutions is complex, costly and uncertain, and any failure by us to anticipate customers' changing needs and emerging technological trends accurately could significantly harm our market share, and results of operations.operations and financial condition. For example, as the transition to an environment characterized by cloud-based computing and software being delivered as a service progresses,offset industry declines in some of our businesses, we must continuesuccessfully grow in adjacencies such as copier printers, maintain our strong position in graphics and execute on our strategy to successfully developgrow commercial mobility by providing specialized products and deploy cloud-based solutions forservices to address the needs of our customers. We must make long-term investments, develop or obtain and protect appropriate intellectual property, and commit significant research and development and other resources before knowing whether our predictions will accurately reflect customer demand for our products services and solutions. In addition, afterservices. Any failure to accurately predict technological and business trends, control research and development costs or execute our innovation strategy could harm our business and financial performance. Our research and development initiatives may not be successful in whole or in part, including research and development projects which we have prioritized with respect to funding and/or personnel.
After we develop a product, we must be able to manufacture appropriate volumes quickly while also managing costs and preserving margins. To accomplish this, we must accurately forecast volumes, mixes of products and configurations that meet customer requirements, and we may not succeed at doing so within a given product's life cyclelifecycle or at all. Any delay in the development, production or marketing of a new product, service or solution could result in us not being among the first to market, which could further harm our competitive position.
If we cannot continue to produce quality products and services, our reputation, business and financial performance may suffer.
In the course of conducting our business, we must adequately address quality issues associated with our products services and solutions,services, including defects in our engineering, design and manufacturing processes and unsatisfactory performance under service contracts, as well as defects in third-party components included in our products and unsatisfactory performance or even malicious acts by third-party contractors or subcontractors or the employees of those contractors or subcontractors.their employees. In order to address quality issues, we work extensively with our customers and suppliers and engage in product testing to determine the causes of problems and to develop and implement appropriate solutions. However, the products services and solutionsservices that we offer are complex, and our regular testing and quality control efforts may not be effective in controlling or detecting all quality issues or errata,errors, particularly with respect to faulty components manufactured by third-parties. If we are unable to determine the cause or find an appropriate solution or offer a temporary fix (or "patch") to address quality issues with our products, we may delay shipment to customers, which would delay revenue recognition and receipt of customer payments and could adversely affect our revenue, cash flows and reported results.profitability. In addition, after products are delivered, quality issues may require us to repair or replace such products. Addressing quality issues can be expensive and may result in additional warranty, repair, replacement and other costs, adversely affecting our profits.financial performance. If new or existing customers have difficulty operating our products or are dissatisfied with our services, or solutions, our results of operations could be adversely affected, and we could face possible claims if we fail to meet our customers' expectations. In addition, quality issues can impair our relationships with new or existing customers and adversely affect our brand and reputation, which could, in turn, adversely affect our results of operations.
EconomicWe are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
Currencies other than the U.S. dollar, including the euro, the British pound, Chinese yuan (renminbi) and the Japanese yen, can have an impact on our results as expressed in U.S. dollars. In particular, the economic uncertainties relating to European sovereign and other debt obligations and the related European financial restructuring efforts may cause the value of the euro to fluctuate.
Global economic events and uncertainty may cause currencies to fluctuate and currency volatility contributes to variations in our sales of products and services in impacted jurisdictions. For example, in the event that one or more European countries were to replace the euro with another currency, our sales into such countries, or into Europe generally, would likely be adversely affected until stable exchange rates are established. Accordingly, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, such as the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the euro or the weakness of the Japanese yen, could adversely affect our revenue growth in future periods. In addition, currency variations can adversely affect margins on sales of our products in countries outside of the United States and margins on sales of products that include components obtained from suppliers located outside of the United States.
From time to time, we may use forward contracts and options designated as cash flow hedges to protect against foreign currency exchange rate risks. The effectiveness of our hedges depends on our ability to accurately forecast future cash flows, which is particularly difficult during periods of uncertain demand for our products and services and highly volatile exchange rates. We may incur significant losses from our hedging activities due to factors such as demand volatility and currency variations. In addition, certain or all of our hedging activities may be ineffective, may expire and not be renewed or may not offset any or more than a portion of the adverse financial impact resulting from currency variations. Losses associated with hedging activities also may impact our revenue, financial condition and, to a lesser extent, our cost of sales.
Recent global, regional and local economic weakness and uncertainty could adversely affect our revenue, gross marginbusiness and expenses.financial performance.
Our revenuebusiness and gross marginfinancial performance depend significantly on worldwide economic conditions and the demand for technology hardware, softwareproducts and services in the markets in which we compete. EconomicRecent economic weakness and uncertainty in various markets throughout the world have resulted, and may result in the future, in decreased revenue, gross margin, earnings or growth rates and in increased expenses and difficulty in managing inventory levels. For example, we are continuing to experience macroeconomic weakness across many geographic regions, particularly in the Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") region, China and certain other high-growth markets. TheOngoing U.S. federal government spending cuts that went into effect on March 1, 2013limits may furthercontinue to reduce demand for our products services and solutionsservices from organizations that receive funding from the U.S. government, and could negatively affect macroeconomic conditions in the United States, which could further reduce demand for our products services and solutions.services. Economic
weakness and uncertainty may adversely affect demand for our products services and solutions,services, may result in increased expenses due to higher allowances for doubtful accounts and potential goodwill and asset impairment charges, and may make it more difficult for us to make accurate forecasts of revenue, gross margin, cash flows and expenses.
We also have experienced, and may experience in the future, gross margin declines in certain businesses, reflecting the effect of items such as competitive pricing pressures and increases in component and manufacturing costs resulting from higher labor and material costs borne by our manufacturers and suppliers that, as a result of competitive pricing pressures or other factors, we are unable to pass on to our customers. In addition, our business may be disrupted if we are unable to obtain equipment, parts or components from our suppliers—and our suppliers from their suppliers—due to the insolvency of key suppliers or the inability of key suppliers to obtain credit.
Economic weakness and uncertainty could cause our expenses to vary materially from our expectations. Any financial turmoil affecting the banking system and financial markets or any significant financial services institution failures could negatively impact our treasury operations, as the financial condition of such parties may deteriorate rapidly and without notice in times of market volatility and disruption. Poor financial performance of asset markets combined with lower interest rates and the adverse effects of fluctuating currency exchange rates could lead to higher pension and post-retirement benefit expenses. Interest and other expenses could vary materially from expectations depending on
changes in interest rates, borrowing costs, currency exchange rates, costs of hedging activities and the fair value of derivative instruments. Economic downturns also may lead to restructuring actions and associated expenses.
The revenue and profitability of our operations have historically varied, which makes our future financial results less predictable.
Our revenue, gross margin and profit vary among our diverse products and services, customer groups and geographic markets and therefore will likely be different in future periods than our current results. Our revenue depends on the overall demand for our products and services. Delays or reductions in IThardware and related services spending by our customers or potential customers could have a material adverse effect on demand for our products and services, which could result in a significant decline in revenue. In addition, revenue declines in some of our businesses, particularly our services businesses may affect revenue in our other businesses as we may lose cross-selling opportunities. Overall gross margins and profitability in any given period are dependent partially on the product, service, customer and geographic mix reflected in that period's net revenue. Competition, lawsuits, investigations, increases in component and manufacturing costs that we are unable to pass on to our customers, component supply disruptions and other risks affecting those businesses therefore may have a significant impact on our overall gross margin and profitability. Certain segments have a higher fixed cost structure and more variation in gross margins across their business units and product portfolios than others and may therefore experience significant operating profit volatility on a quarterly basis. In addition, newer geographic markets may be relatively less profitable due to our investments associated with entering those markets and local pricing pressures, and we may have difficulty establishing and maintaining the operating infrastructure necessary to support the high growth rate associated with some of those markets. Market trends, industry shifts, competitive pressures, commoditization of products, seasonal rebates, increased component or shipping costs, regulatory impacts and other factors may result in reductions in revenue or pressure on gross margins of certain segments in a given period, which may lead to adjustments to our operations. Moreover, our efforts to address the challenges facing our business could increase the level of variability in our financial results because the rate at which we are able to realize the benefits from those efforts may vary from period to period.
If we do not effectively manage our product and services transitions, our revenue, gross margins and profitability may suffer.
Many of the markets in which we compete are characterized by rapid technological advances in hardware performance and software features and functionality, frequent introduction of new products, short product life cycles, and continual improvement in product price characteristics relative to product performance. To maintain our competitive position in these markets, we must successfully develop and introduce new products and services. Among the risks associated with the introduction of new products and services are: delays in development or manufacturing, variations in costs, delays in customer purchases or reductions in the price of existing products in anticipation of new introductions, difficulty in predicting customer demand for the new offerings and challenges of effectively managing inventory levels so that they are in line with anticipated demand; risks associated with new products meeting customer qualifications and customer evaluation of new products; and the risk that new products may have quality or other defects or may not be supported adequately by application software. If we do not make an effective transition from existing products and services to future offerings, our revenue and gross margins may decline and our profitability may be harmed.
Our revenue and gross margin also may suffer as a result of the timing of product or service introductions by our suppliers and competitors. This is especially challenging when a product has a short life cycle or a competitor introduces a new product just before our own product introduction. Furthermore, sales of our new products and services may replace sales or result in discounting of some of our current offerings, offsetting the benefit of even a successful introduction. There also may be overlaps in our current products and services and portfolios we have acquired through mergers and acquisitions that we must manage. In addition, it may be difficult to ensure performance of new customer contracts in accordance with our revenue, margin and cost estimates and to achieve operational efficiencies embedded in our estimates. Given the competitive nature of our industry, if any of these risks materializes, future demand for our products and services and our results of operations may suffer.
If we fail to manage the distribution of our products and services properly, our revenue, gross marginsbusiness and profitabilityfinancial performance could suffer.
We use a variety of distribution methods to sell our products and services around the world, including third-party resellers and distributors and both direct and indirect sales to enterprise accounts and consumers. Successfully managing the interaction of our direct and indirect channel efforts to reach various potential customer segments for our products and services is a complex process. Moreover, since each distribution method has distinct risks and gross margins, our failure to implement the most advantageous balance in the delivery model for our products and services could adversely affect our revenue and gross margins and therefore our profitability. Other distribution risks are described below.
Our financial results could be materially adversely affected due to distribution channel conflicts or if the financial conditions of our channel partners were to weaken.
Our results of operations may be adversely affected by any conflicts that might arise between our various salesdistribution channels or the loss or deterioration of any alliance or distribution arrangement or the loss of retail shelf space. Moreover, some of our wholesale and retail distributors may have insufficient financial resources and may not be able to withstand changes in business conditions, including economic weakness, industry consolidation and industry consolidation.market trends. Many of our significant distributors operate on narrow product margins and have been negatively affected by business pressures.pressures in the past. Considerable trade receivables that are not covered by collateral or credit insurance are outstanding with our distribution and retail channel partners. Revenue from indirect sales could suffer, and we could experience disruptions in distribution, if our distributors' financial conditions, abilities to borrow funds in the credit markets or operations weaken.
Our inventory management is complex, as we continue to sell a significant mix of products through distributors.
We must manage both owned and channel inventory effectively, particularly with respect to sales to distributors, which involves forecasting demand and pricing issues.challenges. Distributors may increase orders during periods of product shortages, cancel orders if their inventory is too high or delay orders in anticipation of new products. Distributors also may adjust their orders in response to the supply of our products and the products of our competitors and seasonal fluctuations in end-user demand. Our reliance upon indirect distribution methods may reduce our visibility tointo demand and pricing trends and issues, and therefore make forecasting more difficult. If we have excess or obsolete inventory, we may have to reduce our prices and write down inventory. Moreover, our use of indirect distribution channels may limit our willingness or ability to adjust prices quickly and otherwise to respond to pricing changes by competitors. We also may have limited ability to estimate future product rebate redemptions in order to price our products effectively.
We depend on third-party suppliers, and our financial results could suffer if we fail to manage our suppliers properly.effectively.
Our operations depend on our ability to anticipate our needs for components, products and services, as well as our suppliers' ability to deliver sufficient quantities of quality components, products and services at reasonable prices and in time for us to meet critical schedules.schedules for the delivery of our own products and services. Given the wide variety of systems, products and services that we offer, the large number of our suppliers and contract manufacturers that are located around the world, and the long lead times required to manufacture, assemble and deliver certain components and products, problems could arise in production, planning and inventory management that could seriously harm us.our business. In addition, our ongoing efforts to optimize the efficiency of our supply chain could cause supply disruptions and be more expensive, time-consuming and resource intensive than expected. Furthermore, certain of our suppliers may decide to discontinue conducting business with us. Other supplier problems that we could face include component shortages, excess supply, risks related to the terms of our contracts with suppliers, risks associated with contingent workers and risks related to our relationships with single source suppliers, aseach of which is described below.
advantage of favorable pricing or to address concerns about the availability of future components. If we fail to anticipate customer demand properly, a temporary oversupply could result in excess or obsolete components, which could adversely affect our gross margin.business and financial performance.
Business disruptions could seriously harm our future revenue and financial condition and increase our costs and expenses.
Our worldwide operations could be disrupted by earthquakes, telecommunications failures, power or water shortages, tsunamis, floods, hurricanes, typhoons, fires, extreme weather conditions, medical epidemics or pandemics and other natural or manmade disasters or catastrophic events, for which we are predominantly self-insured. The occurrence of any of these business disruptions could result in significant losses, seriously harm our revenue, profitability and financial condition, adversely affect our competitive position, increase our costs and expenses, and require substantial expenditures and recovery time in order to fully resume operations. Our corporate headquarters and a portion of our research and development activities are located in California, and other critical business operations and some of our suppliers are located in California and Asia, near major earthquake faults known for seismic activity. In addition, six of our principal worldwide IT data centers are located in the southern United States, making our operations more vulnerable to natural disasters or other business disruptions occurring in that geographical area. The manufacture of product components, the final assembly of our products and other critical operations are concentrated in certain geographic locations, including Shanghai, Singapore and India.locations. We also rely on major logistics hubs primarily in Asia to manufacture and distribute our products, and primarily in the southwestern United States to import products into the Americas region. Our operations could be adversely affected if manufacturing, logistics or other operations in these locations are disrupted for any reason, including natural disasters, information technologyIT system failures, military actions or economic, business, labor, environmental, public health, regulatory or political issues. The ultimate impact on us, our significant suppliers and our general infrastructure of being located near locations more vulnerable to the occurrence of the aforementioned business disruptions, such as near major earthquake faults, and being consolidated in certain geographical areas is unknown and remains uncertain.
Our uneven sales cycle makes planning and inventory management difficult and future financial results less predictable.
In some of our segments, ourOur quarterly sales often have reflected a pattern in which a disproportionate percentage of each quarter's total sales occurs towards the end of suchthe quarter. This uneven sales pattern makes predicting revenue, earnings, cash flow from operations and working capital for each financial period difficult, increases the risk of unanticipated variations in our quarterly results and financial condition and places pressure on our inventory management and logistics systems. If predicted demand is substantially greater than orders, there may be excess inventory. Alternatively, if orders substantially exceed predicted demand, we may not be able to fulfill all of the orders received in the last few weeks of each quarter.quarter and such orders may be cancelled. Depending on when they occur in a quarter, developments such as a systems failure, component pricing movements, component shortages or global logistics disruptions could adversely impact our inventory levels and results of operations in a manner that is disproportionate to the number of days in the quarter affected.
We experience some seasonal trends in the sale of our products that also may produce variations in our quarterly results and financial condition. For example, sales to governments (particularly sales to the U.S. government) are often stronger in the third calendar quarter, consumer sales are often stronger in the fourth calendar quarter, and many customers whose fiscal andyear is the calendar years are the sameyear spend their remaining capital budget authorizations in the fourth calendar quarter prior to new budget constraints in the first calendar quarter of the following year. Consumer sales are often higher in the fourth calendar quarter compared to other quarters due in part to seasonal holiday demand. European sales are often weaker during the summer months. Demand during the spring and early summer also may be adversely impacted by market anticipation of seasonal trends. Moreover, to the extent that we introduce new products in anticipation of seasonal demand trends, our discounting of existing products may adversely affect our gross margin prior to or shortly after such product launches. Typically, our third fiscal quarter is our weakest and our fourth fiscal quarter is our strongest. Many of the factors that create and affect seasonal trends are beyond our control.
Due to the international nature of our business, political or economic changes or other factors could harm our future revenue, costs and expenses,business and financial condition.performance.
Sales outside the United States makemade up approximately 64% of our net revenue.revenue for fiscal 2015. In addition, an increasinga portion of our business activity is being conducted in emerging markets, including Brazil, Russia, India and China.markets. Our future revenue, gross margin, expensesbusiness and financial conditionperformance could suffer due to a variety of international factors, including:
The factors described above also could disrupt our product and component manufacturing and key suppliers located outside of the United States. For example, we rely on manufacturers in Taiwan for the production of notebook computers and other suppliers in Asia for product assembly and manufacture.
Currencies other than the U.S. dollar, including the euro, the British pound, Chinese yuan renminbi and the Japanese yen, can have an impact on our results (expressed in U.S. dollars). In particular, the economic uncertainties relating to European sovereign and other debt obligations and the related European financial restructuring efforts may cause the value of the euro to fluctuate. Currency variations also contribute to variations in sales of products and services in impacted jurisdictions. For example, in the event that one or more European countries were to replace the euro with another currency, our sales into such countries, or into Europe generally, would likely be adversely affected until stable exchange rates are established. Accordingly, fluctuations in foreign currency rates, most notably the strengthening of the dollar against the euro, could adversely affect our revenue growth in future periods. In addition, currency variations can adversely affect margins on sales of our products in countries outside of the United States and margins on sales of products that include components obtained from suppliers located outside of the United States. We use a combination of forward contracts and options designated as cash flow hedges to protect against foreign currency exchange rate risks. The effectiveness of our hedges depends on our ability to accurately forecast future cash flows, which is particularly difficult during periods of uncertain demand for our products and
services and highly volatile exchange rates. We may incur significant losses from our hedging activities due to factors such as volatility and currency variations. In addition, our hedging activities may be ineffective or may not offset any or more than a portion of the adverse financial impact resulting from currency variations. Losses associated with hedging activities also may impact our revenue and to a lesser extent our cost of sales and financial condition.
In many foreign countries, particularly in those with developing economies, it is common tothere are companies that engage in business practices that are prohibited by laws and regulations applicable to us, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended (the "FCPA"). For example, as discussed in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the German Public Prosecutor's Office, the U.S. Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission have been investigating allegations that certain current and former employees of HP engaged in bribery, embezzlement and tax evasion. In addition, the U.S. enforcement authorities, as well as the Polish Central Anti-Corruption Bureau, are conducting investigations into potential FCPA violations by a former employee of an HP subsidiary in connection with certain public-sector transactions in Poland, and the U.S. enforcement authorities are conducting investigations into certain other public-sector transactions in Russia, Poland, the Commonwealth of Independent States and Mexico, among other countries. Although we implement policies, procedures and procedurestraining designed to facilitate compliance with these laws, our employees, contractors and agents, as well as those of the companies to which we outsource certain of our business operations, may take actions in violation of our policies. Any such violation, even if prohibited by our policies, could have an adverse effect on our business and reputation.
Any failure by us to identify, manage complete and integratecomplete acquisitions, divestitures and other significant transactions successfully could harm our financial results, business and prospects, and the costs, expenses and other financial and operational effects associated with managing, completing and integrating acquisitions may result in financial results that are different than expected.prospects.
As part of our business strategy, we may acquire companies or businesses, divest businesses or assets, enter into strategic alliances and joint ventures and make investments to further our business (collectively, "business combination and investment transactions"). In order to pursue this strategy successfully, we must identify candidates for and successfully complete business combination and investment transactions, some of which may be large or complex, and manage post-closing issues such as the integration of acquired businesses, products, services or employees. Risks associated with business combination and investment transactions include the following, any of which could adversely affect our revenue, gross margin, profitability and financial results:
We have incurred and will incur additional depreciation and amortization expense over the useful lives of certain assets acquired in connection with business combination and investment transactions, and, to the extent that the value of goodwill or intangible assets acquired in connection with a business combination and investment transaction becomes impaired, we may be required to incur additional material charges relating to the impairment of those assets. For example, in our third fiscal quarter of 2012, we recorded an $8.0 billion impairment charge relating to the goodwill associated with our enterprise services reporting unit within our former Services segment and a $1.2 billion impairment charge as a result of an asset impairment analysis of the "Compaq" trade name acquired in 2002. In addition, in our fourth fiscal quarter of 2012, we recorded an $8.8 billion impairment charge relating to the goodwill and intangible assets associated with Autonomy. If there are future decreases in our stock price or significant changes in the business climate or results of operations of our reporting units, we may incur additional charges, which may include goodwill impairment or intangible asset charges.
Integration issues are often complex, time-consuming and expensive and, without proper planning and implementation, could significantly disruptAs part of our business and the acquired business. The challenges involved in integration include:
in order to address customer uncertainty), minimizing sales force attrition and expanding and coordinating sales, marketing and distribution efforts;
While we do not currently plan to divest any of our major businesses, we do regularly evaluate the potential disposition of assets and businesses that may no longer help us meet our objectives. When we decide to sell assets or a business, we may encounter difficulty in finding buyers or alternative exit strategies on acceptable terms in a timely manner, which could delay the achievement of our strategic objectives. We may also dispose of a business at a price or on terms that are less desirable than we had anticipated. In addition, we may experience greater dis-synergies than expected, and the impact of the divestiture on our revenue growth may be larger than projected. After reaching an agreement with a buyer or seller for the acquisition or disposition of a business, we are subject to satisfaction of pre-closing conditions as well as to necessary regulatory and governmental approvals on acceptable terms, which, if not satisfied or obtained, may prevent us from completing the transaction. Dispositions may also involve continued financial involvement in the divested business, such as through continuing equity ownership, guarantees, indemnities or other financial obligations. Under these arrangements, performance by the divested businesses or other conditions outside of our control could affect our future financial results.
Integrating acquisitions may be difficult and time-consuming. Any failure by us to integrate acquired companies, products or services into our overall business in a timely manner could harm our financial results, business and prospects.
In order to pursue our strategy successfully, we must identify candidates for and successfully complete business combination and investment transactions, some of which may be large or complex, and manage post-closing issues such as the integration of acquired businesses, products, services or employees. Integration issues are often time-consuming and expensive and, without proper planning and implementation, could significantly disrupt our business and the acquired business. The challenges involved in integration include:
We may not achieve some or all of the expected benefits of our restructuring plan and our restructuring may adversely affect our business.
We announced a restructuring plan in September 2015 to realign our cost structure due to the changing nature of our business and to achieve operating efficiencies that we expect to reduce costs. We may not be able to obtain the cost savings and benefits that were initially anticipated in connection with our restructuring. Additionally, as a result of our restructuring, we may experience a loss of continuity, loss of accumulated knowledge and/or inefficiency during transitional periods. Reorganization and restructuring can require a significant amount of management and other employees' time and focus, which may divert attention from operating and growing our business. If we fail to achieve some or all of the expected benefits of restructuring, it could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. For more information about our restructuring plan, including details regarding the plan announced in September 2015, see Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8.
Our revenue, cost of sales, and expensesfinancial performance may suffer if we cannot continue to develop, license or enforce the intellectual property rights on which our businesses depend or if third-parties assert that we violate their intellectual property rights.depend.
We rely upon patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret and other intellectual property laws in the United States, similar laws in other countries, and agreements with our employees, customers, suppliers and other parties, to establish and maintain intellectual property rights in the products and services we sell, provide or otherwise use in our operations. However, any of our intellectual property rights could be challenged, invalidated, infringed or circumvented, or such intellectual property rights may not be sufficient to permit us to take advantage of current market trends or to otherwise provide competitive advantages, either of which could result in costly product redesign efforts, discontinuance of certain product offerings or other harm to our competitive position. For example, our enforcement of inkjet printer supplies IP against infringers may be successfully challenged or our IP may be successfully circumvented. Further, the laws of certain countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Therefore, in certain jurisdictions we may be unable to protect our proprietary technology adequately against unauthorized third-party copying or use; this, too, could adversely affect our ability to sell products or services and our competitive position.
Because of the rapid pace of technological changeOur products and services depend in the informationpart on intellectual property and technology industry, muchlicensed from third parties.
Some of our business and manysome of our products rely on key technologies developed or licensed by third-parties.
We may not be able to obtain or continue to obtain licenses and technologies from these third-parties at all or on reasonable terms, or such third-parties may demand cross-licenses to our intellectual property. For example, some of our software offerings are developed using software components or other intellectual property licensed from third parties, including through both proprietary and open source licenses. These third-party software components may become obsolete,
defective or incompatible with future versions of our products, or our relationship with the third party may deteriorate, or our agreements with the third party may expire or be terminated. We may face legal or business disputes with licensors that may threaten or lead to the disruption of inbound licensing relationships. In order to remain in compliance with the terms of our licenses, we must carefully monitor and manage our use of third-party software components, including both proprietary and open source license terms that may require the licensing or public disclosure of our intellectual property without compensation or on undesirable terms. Additionally, some of these licenses may not be available to us in the future on terms that are acceptable or that allow our product offerings to remain competitive. Our inability to obtain licenses or rights on favorable terms could have a material effect on our business, including our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, it is possible that as a consequence of a merger or acquisition, third-parties may obtain licenses to some of our intellectual property rights or our business may be subject to certain restrictions that were not in place prior to such transaction. Because the transaction.availability and cost of licenses from third parties depends upon the willingness of third parties to deal with us on the terms we request, there is a risk that third parties who license to our competitors will either refuse to license us at all, or refuse to license us on terms equally favorable to those granted to our competitors. Consequently, we may lose a competitive advantage with respect to these intellectual property rights or we may be required to enter into costly arrangements in order to terminate or limit these rights.
Third-party claims of intellectual property infringement are commonplace in the IT industry and successful third-party claims may limit or disrupt our ability to sell our products and services.
Third-parties also may claim that we or customers indemnified by us are infringing upon their intellectual property rights. For example, individuals and groupspatent assertion entities may purchase intellectual property assets for the purpose of asserting claims of infringement and attempting to extract settlements from companies such as HP Inc. and itsour customers. The number of these claims has increased in recent periods and may continue to increase in the future. If we cannot or do not license allegedly infringed intellectual property at all or on reasonable terms, or if we are required to substitute similar technology from another source, our operations could be adversely affected. Even if we believe that intellectual property claims are without merit, they can be time-consuming and costly to defend against and may divert management's attention and resources away from our business. Claims of intellectual property infringement also might require us to redesign affected products, enter into costly settlement or license agreements, pay costly damage awards, or face a temporary or permanent injunction prohibiting us from importing, marketing or selling certain of our products. Even if we have an agreement to indemnify us against such costs, the indemnifying party may be unable or unwilling to uphold its contractual obligations to us.
Finally,Further, our results of operations and cash flows have been and could continue to be affected in certain periods and on an ongoing basis by the imposition, accrual and payment of copyright levies or similar fees. In certain countries (primarily in Europe), proceedings are ongoing or have been concluded involving HPour company in which groups representing copyright owners have sought or are seeking to impose upon and collect from HP Inc. levies upon equipment (such as PCs, MFDs and printers) alleged to be copying devices under applicable laws. Other such groups have also sought to modify existing levy schemes to increase the amount of the levies that can be collected from us. Other countries that have not imposed levies on these types of devices are expected to extend existing levy schemes, and countries that do not currently have levy schemes may decide to impose copyright levies on these types of devices. The total amount of the copyright levies will depend on the types of products determined to be subject to the levy, the number of units of those products sold during the period covered by the levy, and the per unit fee for each type of product, all of which are affected by several factors, including the outcome of ongoing litigation involving us and other industry participants and possible action by the legislative bodies in the applicable countries, and could be substantial. Consequently, the ultimate impact of these copyright levies or similar fees, and our ability to recover such amounts through increased prices, remains uncertain.
The allocation of intellectual property rights between Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company ("Hewlett Packard Enterprise") and HP Inc. as part of the Separation, and the shared use of certain intellectual property rights following the Separation, could adversely impact our reputation, our ability to enforce certain intellectual property rights that are important to us and our competitive position.
In connection with the Separation, Hewlett-Packard Company allocated to each of Hewlett Packard Enterprise and HP Inc. the intellectual property assets relevant to their businesses. The terms of the Separation include cross-licenses and other arrangements to provide for certain ongoing use of intellectual property in the existing operations of both businesses. For example, through a joint brand holding structure, both Hewlett Packard Enterprise and HP Inc. will retain the ability to make ongoing use of certain variations of the legacy Hewlett-Packard and HP branding, respectively. There is a risk that the joint brand holding structure may impair the enforcement of HP Inc.'s trademark rights against third parties that infringe them. Furthermore, as a result of this shared use of the legacy branding there is a risk that conduct or events adversely affecting the reputation of Hewlett Packard Enterprise could also adversely affect the reputation of HP Inc. In addition, as a result of the allocation of intellectual property as part of the Separation, HP Inc. will no longer have ownership of intellectual property allocated to Hewlett Packard Enterprise and our resulting intellectual property ownership position could adversely affect our position and options relating to patent enforcement, patent licensing and cross-licensing, our ability to sell our products or services, our competitive position in the industry and our ability to enter new product markets.
Our revenuebusiness and profitabilityfinancial performance could suffer if we do not manage the risks associated with our services business properly.
The risks that accompany our services business differ from those of our other businesses and include the following:
those services. We may not be able to replace the revenue and earnings from any such lost clients or reductions in services. In addition, our contracts may allow a client to terminate the contract for convenience, and we may not be able to fully recover our investments in such circumstances.
Failure to comply with our customer contracts or government contracting regulations could adversely affect our revenuebusiness and results of operations.
Our contracts with our customers may include unique and specialized performance requirements. In particular, our contracts with federal, state, provincial and local governmental customers are subject to various procurement regulations, contract provisions and other requirements relating to their
formation, administration and performance. Any failure by us to comply with the specific provisions in our customer contracts or any violation of government contracting regulations could result in the imposition of various civil and criminal penalties, which may include termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments and, in the case of our government contracts, fines and suspension from future government contracting. Such failures could also cause reputational damage to our business. In addition, we haveHewlett-Packard Company has in the past been, and we may in the future be, subject to qui tam litigation brought by private individuals on behalf of the government relating to our government contracts, which could include claims for up to treble damages. Further, any negative publicity related to our customer contracts or any proceedings surrounding them, regardless of its accuracy, may damage our business by affecting our ability to compete for new contracts. If our customer contracts are terminated, if we are suspended or disbarred from government work, or if our ability to compete for new contracts is adversely affected, weour financial performance could suffer a reduction in expected revenue.suffer.
HP'sHewlett-Packard Company's stock price has historically fluctuated, and our stock price may continue to fluctuate, which may make future prices of HP'sHP Inc.'s stock difficult to predict.
HP'sOur stock price, like that of other technology companies, can be volatile. Some of the factors that could affect our stock price are:
General or industry specific market conditions or stock market performance or domestic or international macroeconomic and geopolitical factors unrelated to HP'sour performance also may affect the price of HPour stock. For these reasons, investors should not rely on recent or historical trends to predict future stock prices, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, as discussed in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we are involved in several securities class action litigation matters. Additional volatility in the price of our securities could result in the filing of additional securities class action litigation matters, which could result in substantial costs and the diversion of management time and resources.
Failure to maintain our credit ratings could adversely affect our liquidity, capital position, borrowing costs and access to capital markets.
Our credit risk is evaluated by the major independent rating agencies. Two of those rating agencies,Fitch Ratings, Moody's InvestorsInvestor Service and Standard & Poor's RatingsRating Services downgraded ourHewlett-Packard Company's ratings once during fiscal 2012, and a third rating agency, Fitch Ratings, downgraded our ratings twice during
that fiscal year. In addition, Moody's Investors Service downgraded our ratings again in November 2012. Our credit ratings remain under negative outlook by Moody's Investors Service. Thesethe past. Past downgrades have increased the cost of borrowing under our credit facilities, have reduced market capacity for our commercial paper, and may require the posting of additional collateral under some of our derivative contracts. There can be no assuranceWe cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our current credit ratings, and any additional actual or anticipated changes or downgrades in our credit ratings, including any announcement that our ratings are under further review for a downgrade, may further impact us in a similar manner and may have a negative impact on our liquidity, capital position and access to capital markets.
We make estimates and assumptions in connection with the preparation of HP'sour Consolidated Financial Statements, and any changes to those estimates and assumptions could adversely affect our results of operations.
In connection with the preparation of HP'sour Consolidated Financial Statements, we use certain estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and other factors. Our most critical accounting estimates are described in the section entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Item 7 of this report. In addition, as discussed in Note 1716 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we make certain estimates, including decisions related to provisions for legal proceedings and other contingencies. While we believe that these estimates and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances, they are subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. Should any of these estimates and assumptions change or prove to have been incorrect, it could adversely affect our results of operations.
Unanticipated changes in our tax provisions, the adoption of new tax legislation or exposure to additional tax liabilities could affect our profitability.financial performance.
We are subject to income and other taxes in the United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Our tax liabilities are affected by the amounts we charge in intercompany transactions for inventory, services, licenses, funding and other items. We are subject to ongoing tax audits in various jurisdictions. Tax authorities may disagree with our intercompany charges, cross-jurisdictional transfer pricing or other matters, and may assess additional taxes.taxes as a result. We regularly assess the likely outcomes of these audits in order to determine the appropriateness of our tax provision. However, there can be no assurancewe cannot assure you that we will accurately predict the outcomes of these audits, and the amounts ultimately paid upon resolution of audits could be materially different from the amounts previously included in our income tax expense and therefore could have a material impact on our tax provision, net income and cash flows. In addition, our effective tax rate in the future could be adversely affected by changes to our operating structure, changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes in tax laws and the discovery of
new information in the course of our tax return preparation process. In particular, if circumstances change such that we are unable to indefinitely reinvest our foreign earnings outside the United States, future income tax expense and payments may differ significantly from historical amounts and could materially adversely affect our results of operations. The carrying value of deferred tax assets, which are predominantly in the United States, is dependent on our ability to generate future taxable income in the United States. In addition, there are proposals for tax legislation that have been introduced or that are being considered that could have a significant adverse effect on our tax rate, the carrying value of deferred tax assets, or our deferred tax liabilities. Any of these changes could affect our profitability.financial performance.
In order to be successful, we must attract, retain, train, motivate, develop and transition key employees, and failure to do so could seriously harm us.
In order to be successful, we must attract, retain, train, motivate, develop and transition qualified executives and other key employees, including those in managerial, technical, development, sales, marketing and IT support positions. Identifying, developing internally or hiring externally, training and retaining qualified
executives, engineers, skilled solutions providers in the IT support business and qualified sales representatives are critical to our future, and competition for experienced employees in the IT industry can be intense. In order to attract and retain executives and other key employees in a competitive marketplace, we must provide a competitive compensation package, including cash- and share-basedequity-based compensation. Our share-basedequity-based incentive awards include stock options, restricted stock units and performance-based restricted units, some of whichmay contain conditions relating to HP'sour stock price performance and HP'sour long-term financial performance that make the future value of those awards uncertain. If the anticipated value of such share-basedequity-based incentive awards does not materialize, if our share-basedequity-based compensation otherwise ceases to be viewed as a valuable benefit, if our total compensation package is not viewed as being competitive, or if we do not obtain the shareholderstockholder approval needed to continue granting share-basedequity-based incentive awards in the amounts we believe are necessary, our ability to attract, retain and motivate executives and key employees could be weakened. TheOur failure to successfully hire executives and key employees or the loss of any executives and key employees could have a significant impact on our operations. Further, changes in our management team may be disruptive to our business, and any failure to successfully transition and assimilate key new hires or promoted employees could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
System security risks, data protection breaches, cyber attackscyberattacks and systems integration issues could disrupt our internal operations or information technology services provided to customers, and any such disruption could reduce our expected revenue, increase our expenses, damage our reputation and adversely affect our stock price.
Experienced computer programmers and hackers may be able to penetrate our network security and misappropriate or compromise our confidential information or that of third-parties,third parties, create system disruptions or cause shutdowns. Computer programmers and hackers also may be able to develop and deploy viruses, worms, and other malicious software programs that attack our products or otherwise exploit any security vulnerabilities of our products. In addition, sophisticated hardware and operating system software and applications that we produce or procure from third-parties may contain defects in design or manufacture, including "bugs" and other problems that could unexpectedly interfere with the operation of the system. The costs to us to eliminate or alleviate cyber or other security problems, including bugs, viruses, worms, malicious software programs and other security vulnerabilities, could be significant, and our efforts to address these problems may not be successful and could result in interruptions, delays, cessation of service and loss of existing or potential customers that may impede our sales, manufacturing, distribution or other critical functions.
We manage and store various proprietary information and sensitive or confidential data relating to our business. In addition,business and our outsourcing services business routinely processes, stores and transmits large amounts of data for our clients, including sensitive and personally identifiable information.customers. Breaches of our security measures or the accidental loss, inadvertent disclosure or unapproved dissemination of proprietary information or sensitive or confidential data
about us, our clients or our customers, including the potential loss or disclosure of such information or data as a result of fraud, trickery or other forms of deception, could expose us, our customers or the individuals affected to a risk of loss or misuse of this information, result in litigation and potential liability for us, damage our brand and reputation or otherwise harm our business. We also could lose existing or potential customers of outsourcing services or other IT solutions or incur significant expenses in connection with our customers' system failures or any actual or perceived security vulnerabilities in our products and services. In addition, the cost and operational consequences of implementing further data protection measures could be significant.
Portions of our IT infrastructure also may experience interruptions, delays or cessations of service or produce errors in connection with systems integration or migration work that takes place from time to time. We may not be successful in implementing new systems and transitioning data, which could
cause business disruptions and be more expensive, time-consuming, disruptive and resource intensive. Such disruptions could adversely impact our ability to fulfill orders and respond to customer requests and interrupt other processes. Delayed sales, lower margins or lost customers resulting from these disruptions could reduce our expected revenue, increase our expenses, damage our reputation and adversely affect our stock price.
Terrorist acts, conflicts, wars and geopolitical uncertainties may seriously harm our business and revenue, costs and expenses and financial condition and stock price.
Terrorist acts, conflicts or wars (wherever located around the world) may cause damage or disruption to our business, our employees, facilities, partners, suppliers, distributors, resellers or customers or adversely affect our ability to manage logistics, operate our transportation and communication systems or conduct certain other critical business operations. The potential for future attacks, the national and international responses to attacks or perceived threats to national security, and other actual or potential conflicts or wars have created many economic and political uncertainties. In addition, as a major multinational company with headquarters and significant operations located in the United States, actions against or by the United States may impact our business or employees. Although it is impossible to predict the occurrences or consequences of any such events, if they occur, they could result in a decrease in demand for our products, make it difficult or impossible to provide services or deliver products to our customers or to receive components from our suppliers, create delays and inefficiencies in our supply chain and result in the need to impose employee travel restrictions. We are predominantly uninsured for losses and interruptions caused by terrorist acts, conflicts and wars.
Unforeseen environmentalOur business is subject to various federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations that could result in costs couldor other sanctions that adversely affect our business and results of operations.
We are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations. For example, we are subject to 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 cleanupclean-up of contaminated sites, the content of our products and the recycling, treatment and disposal of our products, including batteries. In particular, we face increasing complexity in our product design and procurement operations as we adjust to new and future requirements relating to the chemical and materials composition of our products, their safe use, the energy consumption associated with those products, climate change laws and regulations, and product take-back legislation. If we were to violate or become liable under environmental laws or if our products become non-compliant with environmental laws, we could incur substantial costs or face other sanctions, which may include restrictions on our products entering certain jurisdictions. Our potential exposure includes fines and civil or criminal sanctions, third-party property damage, personal injury claims and clean-up costs. Further, liability under some environmental laws relating to contaminated sites can be imposed
retroactively, on a joint and several basis, and without any finding of noncompliance or fault. The amount and timing of costs to comply with environmental laws are difficult to predict.
Some anti-takeover provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could impair a takeover attempt.
We have provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws each of which could have the effect of rendering more difficult or discouraging an acquisition of HP Inc. deemed undesirable by our Board of Directors. These include provisions:
These provisions, alone or together, could deter or delay hostile takeovers, proxy contests and changes in control or management of HP.our management. As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to provisions of Delaware law, including Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prevents some stockholders from engaging in certain business combinations without approval of the holders of substantially all of our outstanding common stock.
Any provision of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control of HP Inc. could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of HPour stock and also could affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our stock.
Risks Related to the Separation
The separation of Hewlett-Packard Company into two independent publicly-traded companies is subject to various risks and uncertainties and may not achieve some or all of the anticipated benefits.
On November 1, 2015, we completed the Separation of our enterprise technology infrastructure, software, services and financing businesses from its personal systems and printing businesses. The process of completing the Separation has involved significant costs and expenses. Uncertainty related to the Separation may lead customers and other parties with which we currently do business or may do business in the future to terminate or attempt to negotiate changes in our existing business relationships, or cause them to consider entering into business relationships with parties other than us. These disruptions could have a material and adverse effect on our businesses, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
We may not realize some or all of the anticipated strategic, financial, operational, marketing or other benefits from the separation. As an independent publicly-traded company we are a smaller, less diversified company with a narrower business focus and may be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, which could materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Separation could result in substantial tax liability.
We obtained an opinion of outside counsel that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Separation qualified, for both the company and our stockholders, as a reorganization within the meaning of Sections 368(d)(1)(D) and 355 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In addition, we obtained a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") and opinions of outside counsel regarding certain matters impacting the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Separation for the company and certain related transactions as transactions that are generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The opinions of outside counsel and the IRS private letter ruling were based, among other things, on various factual assumptions we have authorized and representations we have made to outside counsel and the IRS. If any of these assumptions or representations are, or become, inaccurate or incomplete, reliance on the opinions and IRS private letter ruling may be affected. An opinion of outside counsel represents their legal judgement but is not binding on the IRS or any court. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the conclusions reflected in the opinions or that a court would not sustain such a challenge. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we incurred certain tax costs in connection with the Separation, including non-U.S. tax expenses resulting from the Separation in multiple non-U.S. jurisdictions that do not legally provide for tax-free Separation, which may be material. If the Separation or certain internal transactions undertaken in anticipation of the Separation are determined to be taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we, our stockholders that are subject to U.S. federal income tax and/or Hewlett Packard Enterprise could incur significant U.S. federal income tax liabilities.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise or HP stock.Inc. may fail to perform under the transaction agreements executed as part of the Separation.
In connection with the Separation, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and HP Inc. entered into several agreements, including among others a transition services agreement, a separation and distribution agreement, a tax matters agreement, an employee matters agreement, a real estate matters agreement, a commercial agreement and an IT service agreement. The transition services agreement provides for the performance of certain services by each company for the benefit of the other for a transition period after the Separation. The separation and distribution agreement, tax matters agreement, employee matters agreement and real estate matters agreement determine the allocation of assets and liabilities between the companies following the Separation for those respective areas and include any necessary indemnifications related to liabilities and obligations. The commercial agreement establishes a bilateral relationship between Hewlett Packard Enterprise and us for the purchase and sale of commercially available products and services for internal use, incorporation and bundling in OEM products and services, resale to customers and use in the provision of managed services to customers, as well as joint customer pursuits and joint development activities. The IT service agreement provides for the performance by one of Hewlett Packard Enterprise's subsidiaries of certain application development and maintenance and IT infrastructure services for us. We will rely on Hewlett Packard Enterprise to satisfy its performance and payment obligations under these agreements. If Hewlett Packard Enterprise is unable to satisfy its obligations under these agreements, we could incur operational difficulties or losses that could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") is organized as follows:
We intend the discussion of our financial condition and results of operations that follows to provide information that will assist the reader in understanding our Consolidated Financial Statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements from year to year, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting principles, policies and estimates affect our Consolidated Financial Statements. ThatThis discussion should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this document.
HP Separation Transaction
On November 1, 2015 (the "Distribution Date"), we completed the separation of 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.
On November 1, 2015, 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.
HP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
The process of completing the Separation was highly complex and involved significant costs and expenses. Accordingly, we incurred separation costs and foreign tax expenses associated with separating into two companies. In fiscal 2015, we recorded nonrecurring separation costs and net foreign tax expenses of $1.6 billion, which were primarily related to third-party consulting, contractor fees and other incremental costs directly associated with the separation process. We expect total separation charges and net foreign tax expenses to be approximately $180 million in fiscal 2016. Additionally, the separation into two independent companies is expected to result in total dis-synergies of approximately $400 million to $450 million annually, which costs are primarily associated with corporate functions such as finance, legal, IT, real estate and human resources. Such dis-synergies are expected to be divided approximately equally between HP Inc. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise.
We recorded a deferred tax asset on these costs and expenses as they were incurred through fiscal 2015. We expect a portion of these deferred tax assets associated with separation costs and expenses will be eliminated, given that some will be non-deductible, at the time the Separation is executed. Furthermore, we concluded on the legal form of the Separation and in May 2015 announced that Hewlett Packard Enterprise will be the spinnee company in the United States ("U.S."). Accordingly, we implemented certain internal reorganizations of, and transactions among, our wholly-owned subsidiaries and operating activities in preparation for the legal form of separation. As a result, we recognized gross incremental foreign tax expenses related to the separation of foreign legal entities of approximately $300 million and foreign tax credits of approximately $100 million in fiscal 2015 with additional tax credit amounts expected over several years. As of October 31, 2015, we also expect separation-related capital expenditures of approximately $30 million in fiscal 2016.
In connection with the Separation, we 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. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we transferred substantially all of the assets, liabilities and operations of enterprise technology infrastructure, software, services and financing businesses to Hewlett Packard Enterprise in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015.
The historical results of operations and the financial position of Hewlett Packard Enterprise are included in the consolidated financial statements of HP Inc. for each of the fiscal years included in this report and will be reported as discontinued operations beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2016. Beginning November 1, 2015, we no longer consolidate Hewlett Packard Enterprise within our financial results or reflect the financial results of Hewlett Packard Enterprise within our continuing results of operations.

As of October 31, 2015, we had seven reportable business segments for financial reporting purposes: Personal Systems, Printing, the Enterprise Group ("EG"), Enterprise Services ("ES"), Software, HP Financial Services ("HPFS") and Corporate Investments. Effective November 1, 2015, we report three segments as part of continuing operations: Personal Systems, Printing and Corporate Investments.

HP consolidated net revenue declined 7.3% (decreased 2.1% on a constant currency basis) in fiscal 2015 as compared to fiscal 2014. The leading contributors to the net revenue decline were unfavorable currency impacts across all major segments, key account runoff and soft demand in Infrastructure Technology Outsourcing ("ITO") in ES, lower desktop sales in Personal Systems and lower sales of printers and supplies. Partially offsetting these declines was growth within the EG segment from sales of ISS servers. Gross margin was 24.0% ($24.8 billion) and 23.9% ($26.6 billion) for fiscal 2015 and 2014, respectively. The 0.1 percentage point increase in gross margin was due primarily to service delivery efficiencies and improvements in underperforming contracts in ES. Partially offsetting the gross margin increase was the impact from a higher mix of ISS products in EG, competitive pricing pressures in Printing and the impact from the sale of intellectual property ("IP") in the prior-year period. We continue to experience gross margin pressures resulting from a competitive pricing environment across our hardware portfolio. HP's operating margin decreased by 1.1 percentage points in fiscal 2015 as compared to fiscal 2014 due primarily to separation costs, pension plan settlement charges, data center impairments and the impact from the sale of IP in the prior-year period.

Net revenue declined 6.7% (decreased 5.5% on a constant currency basis) in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012 due primarily to revenue declines of approximately 10%, 8%, 5% and 3% in our Personal Systems, ES, EG and Printing segments, respectively. These revenue declines reflect a series of revenue growth challenges that impacted each of our segments to varying degrees. The primary challenges included: a significant contraction in the overall PC market, which impacted Personal Systems; weak public sector spending and enterprise IT demand, particularly in Europe, which impacted the ES and EG segments; competitive pricing pressures in the enterprise and PC markets, which impacted both the EG and Personal Systems segments; and unfavorable currency impacts and volume declines in supplies, which impacted the Printing segment. Gross margin decreased by 0.1 percentage points in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012. The gross margin decline was due primarily to competitive pricing environments in the markets for EG and Personal Systems products and decreased revenue and contractual price declines for ES. Partially offsetting these negative impacts was a gross margin increase, in Printing due primarily to improvements in toner and higher average selling prices for higher-value consumer printers. Operating margin increased by 15.6 percentage points in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012 due primarily to the absence of goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges and lower restructuring charges in fiscal 2013. Additionally, total research and development ("R&D") and selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses decreased 2.9% due primarily to R&D activity streamlining in EG, particularly in Business Critical Systems ("BCS"), and cost savings associated with our ongoinglower restructuring efforts that impacted all expense categories.

Our business continues to produce significant cash flow from operations, generating $11.6 billion in fiscal 2013. During the year, we repaid $5.7 billionAs of debt, returned $1.1 billion to stockholders through dividends and repurchased $1.5 billion worth of common stock. In addition, we purchased $3.2 billion in capital assets. We ended fiscal 2013 with an investment portfolio of $12.5 billion, consisting ofOctober 31, 2015, cash and cash equivalents and short-termshort- and long-term investments which waswere $17.7 billion, representing an increase of approximately $800 million$2.2 billion from the endOctober 31, 2014 balance of $15.5 billion. The increase in cash and cash equivalents and short- and long-term investments in fiscal 2012.2015 was primarily due to the following factors: cash received from operating cash flows of $6.5 billion and cash received for net issuances and repayments of debt of $5.0 billion; partially offset by investments in property, plant and equipment and business acquisitions net of divestitures of $3.2 billion and $2.4 billion, respectively, cash utilization for share repurchases of common stock of $2.9 billion and dividend payments to stockholders of $1.2 billion.
We entered fiscal 2013 having experienced a multi-quarter decline in revenue and operating margins. That decline in financial performance reflected a series of challenges that were facing our business. Some of those challenges related to structural and execution issues, such as aligning costs to our revenue trajectory, addressing the need to rationalize our R&D investments and reinvest in IT systems, and rebuilding our channel partner relationships. Other challenges related to dynamic market trends, such as the growth of mobility, the increasing demand for hyperscale computing infrastructure, the shift to software-as-a-service ("SaaS"), the transition towards cloud computing, and aggressive pricing conditions. We also confronted a series of significant macroeconomic challenges in fiscal 2013, such as a shift in consumer spending, weak demand in the SMB and enterprise sectors in Europe, and declining growth in some emerging markets.
During fiscal 2013, we continued to address these challenges by driving innovation across the company, improving operations, aligning our cost structure and rebuilding our balance sheet. As a result of these efforts, revenue declines have begun to moderate as we reap the early benefits of our investments in product innovation, as decreasing costs driven by our restructuring efforts have begun to align to our revenue trajectory, as our enterprise services business has begun to become more predictable, and as our business performance has begun to improve in our printing business due to our focus on key initiatives such as Ink in the Office, Managed Print Services and Ink Advantage. In addition, we made investments targeted at our channel partner relationships through improvements in sales force and channel partner deal pricing tools and reporting infrastructure. Our strong cash flows from operations in fiscal 2013 also have allowed us to further reduce our debt.
As we enter fiscal 2014, we continue to experience challenges that representare representative of trends and uncertainties that may affect our business and results of operations. One set of challenges relates to continuing dynamic and accelerating market trends such as the decline in the PC market, the growthmarket.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
General
The Consolidated Financial Statements of HP are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), which require management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net revenue and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are

Management's Discussion and Analysis ofFinancial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
not readily apparent from other sources. Senior managementManagement has discussed the development, selection and disclosure of these estimates with the Audit Committee of HP's Board of Directors. Management believes that the accounting estimates employed and the resulting balancesamounts are reasonable; however, actual results may differ from these estimates. Making estimates and judgments about future events is inherently unpredictable and is subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. Should any of these estimates and assumptions change or prove to have been incorrect, it could have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
TheA summary of significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, which is incorporated herein by reference. An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, if different estimates reasonably could have been used, or if changes in the estimate that are reasonably possible could materially impact the financial statements. Management believes the following critical accounting policies reflect the significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue applying the basic revenue recognition criteria (i.e., when persuasive evidence of a salesan arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services are rendered, the sales price or fee is fixed or determinable and collectibilitycollectability is reasonably assured) along withassured, as well as when other revenue recognition principles are met, including industry specificindustry-specific revenue recognition guidance.
We enter into contracts to sell our products and services, and while many of our sales agreements contain standard terms and conditions, there are agreements we enter into which contain non-standard terms and conditions. Further, many of our arrangements include multiple elements. As a result, significant contract interpretation ismay be required to determine the appropriate accounting, including the identification of deliverables considered to be separate units of accounting, the allocation of the transaction price among the elements in the arrangement and the timing of revenue recognition for each of those elements.
We recognize revenue for delivered elements as separate units of accounting only when the delivered elements have standalone value uncertainties regarding customer acceptance are resolved and there are no customer-negotiated refund or return rights or other contingencies present forto the delivered elements.customer. For elements with no standalone value, we recognize revenue consistent with the pattern of the associated deliverables.undelivered elements. If the arrangement includes a customer-negotiated refund or return right or other contingency relative to the delivered itemitems and the delivery and performance of the undelivered itemitems is considered probable and substantially within our control, the delivered element constitutes a separate unit of accounting. ChangesIn arrangements with

Management's Discussion and Analysis of

combined units of accounting, changes in the allocation of the transaction price betweenamong elements may impact the timing of revenue recognition for the contract but will not change the total revenue recognized for the contract.
We establish the selling prices used for each deliverable based on the vendor-specificvendor specific objective evidence ("VSOE") of selling price, if available, third-party evidence ("TPE"), if VSOE of selling price is not available, or estimated selling price ("ESP"), if neither VSOE of selling price nor TPE is available. We establish VSOE of selling price using the price charged for a deliverable when sold separately and, in rare instances, using the price established by management having the relevant authority. TPE of selling price is established by evaluating largely similar and interchangeable competitor products or services in standalone sales to similarly situated customers. ESP is established based on management's judgment considering internal factors such as margin objectives, pricing practices and controls, customer segment pricing strategies and the product life cycle. Consideration is
HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis ofFinancial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
also given to market conditions such as competitor pricing strategies and industry technology life cycles. We may modify or develop new go-to-market practices in the future, which may result in changes in selling prices, impacting both VSOE of selling price and ESP. In most arrangements with multiple elements, allocation of the transaction price is determinedallocated to the individual units of accounting at inception of the arrangement based on each unit of accounting'stheir relative selling price. However, the aforementioned factors may result in a different allocation of the transaction price to the deliverables in multiple element arrangements entered into in future periods. This may change the pattern and timing of revenue recognition for identical arrangements executed in future periods, but will not change the total revenue recognized for any given arrangement.
For hardware products, we recognize revenue generated from direct sales to end customers and indirect sales to channel partners (including resellers, distributors and value-added solution providers) assuming all revenue recognition criteria are met. For indirect sales to channel partners, we recognize revenue at the time of delivery when the channel partners have economic substance apart from HP, and HP has completed its obligations related to the sale.
We record estimated reductions toreduce revenue for customer and distributor programs and incentive offerings, including price protection, rebates, promotions, other volume-based incentives and expected returns. Future market conditions and product transitions may require us to take actions to increase customer incentive offerings, possibly resulting in an incremental reduction of revenue at the time the incentive is offered. Additionally,For certain incentive programs, require us towe estimate the number of customers who will actuallyexpected to redeem the incentive based on historical experience and the specific terms and conditions of the incentive.
Outsourcing servicesFor hardware products, we recognize revenue generated from direct sales to end customers and indirect sales to channel partners (including resellers, distributors and value-added solution providers) when the revenue recognition criteria are satisfied. For indirect sales to channel partners, we recognize revenue at the time of delivery when the channel partner has economic substance apart from HP and HP has completed its obligations related to the sale.
For the various software products we sell (e.g., big data analytics and applications, application delivery management, enterprise security and IT Operations Management), we assess whether the software products were sold on a standalone basis or with hardware products. If the software sold with a hardware product is not essential to the functionality of the hardware product and is more-than-incidental, we treat it as a software deliverable.
We recognize revenue from the sale of perpetual software licenses at inception of the license term, assuming all revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. Term-based software license revenue is generally recognized ratably over the term of the license. We use the residual method to allocate revenue to software licenses at inception of the arrangement when VSOE of fair value for all undelivered elements, such as post-contract customer support, exists and all other revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. Revenue from maintenance and unspecified upgrades or updates provided

on a when-and-if-available basis is recognized ratably over the period during which such items are delivered.
For hosting or SaaS arrangements, we recognize revenue as the service is provided and the amount earned is not contingent upon any future event. If the service is provided evenly during the contract term but service billings are uneven, wedelivered, generally recognize revenue on a straight-line basis, over the contractual period of performance. In hosting arrangements, we consider the rights provided to the customer (e.g. whether the customer has the contractual right to take possession of the software at any time during the hosting period without significant penalty and the feasibility of the customer to operate or contract term. Losses on outsourcingwith another vendor to operate the software) in determining whether the arrangement includes the sale of a software license. In hosting arrangements where software licenses are sold, license revenue is generally recognized in the period in which such contractual losses become probable and estimable.according to whether perpetual or term licenses are sold, when all other revenue recognition criteria are satisfied.
We recognize revenue as work progresses onfrom fixed-price support or maintenance contracts, including extended warranty contracts and software post-contract customer support agreements, ratably over the contract period. For certain fixed-price contracts, such as consulting arrangements, we recognize revenue as work progresses using a proportional performance method. We estimate the total expected labor costs in order to determine the amount of revenue earned to date. We apply a proportional performance method because reasonably dependable estimates of the labor costs applicable to various stages of a contract can be made. On fixed-price contracts for certain design and build projects (to design, develop and construct software infrastructure and systems), we recognize revenue as work progresses using the percentage-of-completion method.

For the various software products we sell (e.g., operating system software, network enabling software, information technology and management software and enterprise security software), we assess whether the associated software products were sold stand alone or with the hardware products. If the software sold with the hardware product is more-than-incidental and is essential to the functionality of the hardware, we apply the software accounting guidance. We recognize revenue from the sale of

perpetual software licenses at the inception of the license term, assuming all revenue recognition criteria have been met. Term-based software licenseOutsourcing services revenue is generally recognized ratably over the term of the license. For software products within the scope of the software accounting guidance, we use the residual method to allocate revenue to software licenses at the inception of the license term when VSOE of fair value for all undelivered elements exists, such as post-contract support, and all other revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. Revenue generated from maintenance and unspecified upgrades or updates on an if-and-when-available basis is recognized ratably overin the period during which such items are delivered. For software hosting or SaaS arrangements, we recognize revenue aswhen the service is delivered, generallyprovided and the amount earned is not contingent on the occurrence of any future event. We recognize revenue using an objective measure of output for per unit-priced contracts. Revenue for fixed-price outsourcing contracts with periodic billings is recognized on a straight-line basis if the service is provided evenly over the contractualcontract term. Provisions for estimated losses on outsourcing arrangements are recognized in the period when such losses become probable and estimable and are recorded as a component of performance. In software hosting arrangements where software licenses are sold, the associated software revenue is generally recognized according to whether perpetual licenses or term licenses are sold, subject to the above guidance. In such software hosting arrangements, we consider the rights provided to the customer (e.g., ownershipcost of a license, contract termination provisions and feasibility of the customer to operate the software) in determining how to account for the license fees. In SaaS arrangements where software licenses are not sold, the entire arrangement is recognized ratably over the term of the subscription arrangement.sales.
Warranty Provision
We accrue the estimated cost of product warranties at the time we recognize revenue. We evaluate our warranty obligations on a product group basis. Our standard product warranty terms generally include post-sales support and repairs or replacement of a product at no additional charge for a specified period of time. While we engage in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of our component suppliers, we base our estimated warranty obligation on 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 failure outside of our baseline experience. Warranty terms generally range from 90 days to three years for parts and labor, depending upon the product. Over the last three fiscal years, the annual warranty provisionexpense and actual warranty costs have averaged approximately 2.9%2.5% and 3.1%2.7% of annual net product revenue, respectively.

Restructuring
We have engaged in restructuring actions which require management to estimate the timing and amount of severance and other employee separation costs for workforce reduction and enhanced early retirement programs, fair value of assets made redundant or obsolete, and the fair value of lease cancellation and other exit costs. We accrue for severance and other employee separation costs under these actions when it is probable that benefits will be paid and the amount is reasonably estimable. The rates used in determining severance accruals are based on existing plans, historical experiences and negotiated settlements. For a full description of our restructuring actions, refer to our discussions of restructuring in "Results of Operations" below and in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, which are incorporated herein by reference.
Retirement and Post-Retirement Benefits
Our pension and other post-retirement benefit costs and obligations depend on various assumptions. Our major assumptions relate primarily to discount rates, mortality rates, expected increases in compensation levels and the expected long-term return on plan assets. The discount rate assumption is based on current investment yields of high-quality fixed-income securities with maturities similar to the expected benefits payment period. Mortality rates help predict the expected life of plan participants and are based on a historical demographic study of the plan. The expected increase in the compensation levels assumption reflects our long-term actual experience and future expectations. The expected long-term return on plan assets is determined based on asset allocations, historical portfolio results, historical asset correlations and management's expected returns for each asset class. We evaluate our expected return assumptions annually including reviewing current capital market assumptions to assess the reasonableness of the expected long-term return on plan assets. We update the expected long-term return on assets when we observe a sufficient level of evidence that would suggest the long-term expected return has changed. In any fiscal year, significant differences may arise between the actual return and the expected long-term return on plan assets. Historically, differences between the actual return and expected long-term return on plan assets have resulted from changes in target or actual asset allocation, short-term performance relative to expected long-term performance, and to a lesser extent, differences between target and actual investment allocations, the timing of benefit payments compared to expectations, and the use of derivatives intended to effect asset allocation changes or hedge certain investment or liability exposures. For the recognition of net periodic benefit cost, the calculation of the expected long-term return on plan assets uses the fair value of plan assets as of the beginning of the fiscal year unless updated as result of interim remeasurement.
Our major assumptions vary by plan, and the weighted-average rates used are set forth in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, which is incorporated herein by reference. The following table provides the impact changes in the weighted-average assumptions of discount rates, the

Taxes on Earnings
We calculate our current and deferred tax provisions based on estimates and assumptions that could differ from the final positions reflected in our income tax returns. We adjust our current and deferred tax provisions based on income tax returns which are generally filed in the third or fourth quarters of the subsequent fiscal year.
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which we expect the differences to reverse.
We record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that we are more likely than not to realize. In determining the need for a valuation allowance, we consider future market growth, forecasted earnings, future taxable income, the mix of earnings in the jurisdictions in which we operate and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. In the event we were to determine that it is more likely than not that we will be unable to realize all or part of our deferred tax assets in the future, we would increase the valuation allowance and recognize a corresponding charge to earnings or other comprehensive income in the period in which we make such a determination. Likewise, if we later determine that we are more likely than not to realize the deferred tax assets, we would reverse the applicable portion of the previously recognized valuation allowance. In order for us to realize our deferred tax assets, we must be able to generate sufficient taxable income in the jurisdictions in which the deferred tax assets are located.
Our effective tax rate includes the impact of certain undistributed foreign earnings for which we have not provided U.S. federal taxes because we plan to reinvest such earnings indefinitely outside the U.S. We plan distributions of foreign earnings based on projected cash flow needs as well as the working capital and long-term investment requirements of our foreign subsidiaries and our domestic operations. Based on these assumptions, we estimate the amount we expect to indefinitely invest outside the U.S. and the amounts we expect to distribute to the U.S. and provide the U.S. federal taxes due on amounts expected to be distributed to the U.S. Further, as a result of certain employment actions and capital investments we have undertaken, income from manufacturing activities in certain jurisdictions is subject to reduced tax rates and, in some cases, is wholly exempt from taxes for fiscal years through 2026. Material changes in our estimates of cash, working capital and long-term investment requirements in the various jurisdictions in which we do business could impact how future earnings are repatriated to the U.S., and our related future effective tax rate.
We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and approximately 105 other countries, and we are subject to routine corporate income tax audits in many of these jurisdictions. We believe that positions
HP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
taken on our tax returns are fully supported, but tax authorities may challenge these positions, which may not be fully sustained on examination by the relevant tax authorities. Accordingly, our income tax provision includes amounts intended to satisfy assessments that may result from these challenges. Determining the income tax provision for these potential assessments and recording the related effects requires management judgments and estimates. The amounts ultimately paid on resolution of an audit could be materially different from the amounts previously included in our income tax provision and, therefore, could have a material impact on our income tax provision, net income and cash flows. Our accrual for uncertain tax positions is attributable primarily to uncertainties concerning the tax treatment of our international operations, including the allocation of income among different jurisdictions, intercompany transactions and related interest. For a further discussion on taxes on earnings, refer to Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Inventory
We state our inventory at the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis. We make adjustments to reduce the cost of inventory to its net realizable value at the product group level for estimated excess or obsolescence. Factors influencing these adjustments include changes in demand, technological changes, product life cycle and development plans, component cost trends, product pricing, physical deterioration and quality issues.
Business Combinations
We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the assets acquired, including in-process research and development ("IPR&D"), liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests in the acquiree generally based on their fair values at the acquisition date. IPR&D is initially capitalized at fair value as an intangible asset with an indefinite life and assessed for impairment thereafter. When the IPR&D project is complete, it is reclassified as an amortizable purchased intangible asset and is amortized over its estimated useful life. If an IPR&D project is abandoned, we will record a charge for the value of the related intangible asset to the Consolidated Statement of Earnings in the period it is abandoned. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair value of these assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interests in the acquiree is recorded as goodwill.
When determining the fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests in the acquiree, management makes significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Critical estimates in valuing intangible assets include, but are not limited to, expected future cash flows, which includes consideration of future growth rates and margins, attrition rates, future changes in technology and brand awareness, loyalty and position, and discount rates. Fair value estimates are based on the assumptions management believes a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. Amounts recorded in a business combination may change during the measurement period, which is a period not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, as additional information about conditions existing at the acquisition date becomes available.

Goodwill
We review goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. While we are permitted to conduct a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is necessary to perform a two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test, for our annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013,2015, we performed a quantitative test for all of our reporting units.
Goodwill is tested for impairment at the
HP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis of

reporting unit level. Except for EG and ES,As of October 31, 2015, our reporting units are consistent with the reportable segments identified in Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8,2, except for ES, which is incorporated herein by reference. EG includes two reporting units, which are Enterprise Servers, Storage and Networking ("ESSN") and Technology Services ("TS"). ES also consists of two reporting units, which areunits: MphasiS LimitedLimited; and the remainder of ES. In fiscal 2013, we made two changes to our reporting units. We identified MphasiS Limited as a reporting unit apart from the remainder of ES, and in connection with integration activities we combined the Autonomy reporting unit with the legacy HP Software business reporting unit.
In the first step of the goodwill impairment test, we compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount. We estimate the fair value of our reporting units using a weighting of fair values derived most significantly from the income approach and, to a lesser extent, the market approach. Under the income approach, we estimate the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on management's estimates of revenue growth rates and operating margins, taking into consideration industry and market conditions. The discount rate used is based on the weighted-average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with business-specific characteristics and the uncertainty related to the reporting unit's ability to execute on the projected cash flows. Under the market approach, we estimate fair value based on market multiples of revenue and earnings derived from comparable publicly-traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics assimilar to the reporting unit. We weight the fair value derived from the market approach up to 50% of the concluded reporting unit fair value depending on the level of comparability of these publicly-traded companies to the reporting unit. When market comparables are not meaningful or not available, we estimate the fair value of a reporting unit using only the income approach. For the MphasiS Limited reporting unit, we usedutilized the quoted market price in an active market to estimate fair value.
In order to assess the reasonableness of the estimated fair valuesvalue of our reporting units, we compare the aggregate reporting unit fair valuesvalue to HP's market capitalization and calculate an implied control premium (the excess of the sum of the reporting units' fair valuesvalue over HP's market capitalization). We evaluate the control premium by comparing it to observable control premiums from recent comparable transactions. If the implied control premium is not believed to be reasonable in light of these recent transactions, we reevaluate reporting unit fair values, which may result in an adjustment to the discount rate and/or other assumptions. This reevaluation could reduceresult in a change to the estimated fair value for certain or all of our reporting units.
DeterminingEstimating the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions may include revenue growth rates and operating margins used to calculate projected future cash flows, risk-adjusted discount rates, future economic and market conditions and the determination of appropriate comparable publicly-traded companies. In addition, we make certain judgments and assumptions in allocating shared assets and liabilities to individual reporting units to determine the carrying amount forof each reporting unit.
HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis ofFinancial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
If the fair value of thea reporting unit exceeds the carrying amount of the net assets assigned to that reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is required. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then we must perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. In the second step, the reporting unit's assets, including any unrecognized intangible assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests are measured at fair value in a hypothetical analysis to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill for the reporting unit in the same manner as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. If the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is less than its carrying amount, the difference is recorded as an impairment loss.
Our annual goodwill impairment analysis, which we performed as of the first day of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013,2015, did not result in any impairment charges. The excess of fair value over carrying amount for each of our reporting units ranged from approximately 14%19% to approximately 1,200%2,600% of carrying amounts. The Software and ESSN reporting units haveunit has the lowest excess of fair value over carrying amount at 31%19%.

In order to evaluate the sensitivity of the estimated fair valuesvalue of our reporting units in the goodwill impairment test, we applied a hypothetical 10% decrease to the fair valuesvalue of each reporting unit. This hypothetical 10% decrease resulted in an excess of fair value over carrying amount for our reporting units ranging from approximately 2%7% to approximately 1,000%2,400% of the carrying amounts.

We will continue to monitor goodwill on an annual basis as7%. The fair value of the beginningSoftware reporting unit is estimated using equal weighting of both the income and market approaches. Our Software business is facing multiple challenges including the market shift to SaaS and go-to-market execution challenges. If we are not successful in addressing these challenges, our fourth fiscal quarter and whenever events or changesprojected revenue growth rates could decline resulting in circumstances, such as significant adverse changesa decrease in business climate or operating results,the fair value of the Software reporting unit. The fair value of the Software reporting unit could also be negatively impacted by declines in market multiples of revenue for comparable publicly-traded companies, changes in management's business strategy or significant and sustained declines in our stock price, indicate that there may be potentialwhich could result in an indicator of impairment.
Intangible Assets
We review intangible assets with finite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of theseour finite-lived intangible assets is assessed based on the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If the undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount, the finite-lived intangible assets are considered to be impaired. The amount of the impairment loss, if any, is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value. We estimate the fair value of the finite-lived intangible assets by using an income approach or, when available and appropriate, using a market approach.
Restructuring
We have engaged in restructuring actions, which require management to utilize significant estimates related to the timing and amount of severance and other employee separation costs for workforce reduction and enhanced early retirement programs, realizable values of assets made redundant or obsolete, lease cancellation and other exit costs. We accrue for severance and other employee separation costs under these actions when it is probable that benefits will be paid and the amount is reasonably estimable. The rates used in determining severance accruals are based on existing plans, historical experiences, and negotiated settlements. For a full description of our restructuring

actions, refer to our discussions of restructuring in "Results of Operations" below and in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, which are incorporated herein by reference.
Stock-Based Compensation
Our stock-based compensation program primarily consists of awards of restricted stock, as well as stock options and, to a lesser extent, other award types. The fair value of a restricted stock award is equal to HP's stock price on the date of grant. For stock options, determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating fair value requires the use of assumptions, including the expected term of the option and the expected stock price volatility over the expected term of the option. We utilize the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula to value service-based stock options. We determine the expected term using our historical exercise and post-vesting termination patterns. We determine the expected stock price volatility using implied volatility from options traded on HP's stock. We believe that implied volatility calculated based on actively traded options on HP's stock is a better indicator of expected volatility and future stock price trends than historical volatility.
The amount of compensation recognized for awards of restricted stock and options is adjusted for an assumed level of forfeiture due to the presence of service or performance vesting conditions and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. These compensation costs are determined at the aggregate grant level for service-based awards and at the individual vesting tranche level for awards with performance and/or market conditions. To the extent our actual forfeitures are different than our estimates, we record an adjustment for the difference in the period that the awards vest, and such adjustments could materially affect our operating results.
For a further discussion on stock-based compensation, refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, which are incorporated herein by reference.
Taxes on Earnings
We calculate our current and deferred tax provisions based on estimates and assumptions that could differ from the final positions reflected in our income tax returns filed during the subsequent fiscal year. We adjust our current and deferred tax provisions based on income tax returns which are generally filed in the third and fourth quarters of the subsequent fiscal year for U.S. federal and state purposes, respectively.
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which we expect the differences to reverse. We record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that we are more likely than not to realize.
We have considered future market growth, forecasted earnings, future taxable income, the mix of earnings in the jurisdictions in which we operate and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in determining the need for a valuation allowance. In the event we were to determine that it is more likely than not that we will be unable to realize all or part of our deferred tax assets in the future, we would increase the valuation allowance and recognize a corresponding charge to earnings or other comprehensive income in the period in which we make such a determination. Likewise, if we later determine that we are more likely than not to realize the deferred tax assets, we would reverse the applicable portion of the previously recognized valuation allowance. In order for us to realize our deferred tax assets, we must be able to generate sufficient taxable income in the tax jurisdictions in which the deferred tax assets are located.
HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis ofFinancial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
Our effective tax rate includes the impact of certain undistributed foreign earnings for which we have not provided U.S. federal taxes because we plan to reinvest such earnings indefinitely outside the United States. We plan foreign earnings remittance amounts based on projected cash flow needs as well as the working capital and long-term investment requirements of our foreign subsidiaries and our domestic operations. Based on these assumptions, we estimate the amount we will distribute to the United States and provide the U.S. federal taxes due on these amounts. Further, as a result of certain employment actions and capital investments we have undertaken, income from manufacturing activities in certain countries is subject to reduced tax rates and, in some cases, is wholly exempt from taxes for fiscal years through 2024. Material changes in our estimates of cash, working capital and long-term investment requirements in the various jurisdictions in which we do business could impact our effective tax rate.
We are subject to income taxes in the United States and approximately 80 other countries, and we are subject to routine corporate income tax audits in many of these jurisdictions. We believe that our tax return positions are fully supported, but tax authorities are likely to challenge certain positions, which may not be fully sustained. Accordingly, our income tax expense includes amounts intended to satisfy income tax assessments that may result from these challenges. Determining the income tax expense for these potential assessments and recording the related effects requires management judgments and estimates. The amounts ultimately paid upon resolution of audits could be materially different from the amounts previously included in our income tax expense and, therefore, could have a material impact on our tax provision, net income and cash flows. Our accrual for uncertain tax positions is attributable primarily to uncertainties concerning the tax treatment of our international operations, including the allocation of income among different jurisdictions, and related interest. For a further discussion on taxes on earnings, refer to Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for Accounts Receivable
We determine our allowance for doubtful accounts using a combination of factors to ensure that we state our account receivables balance at net realizable value. We record specific provisions for individual accounts when we become aware of specific customer circumstances, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings or a deterioration in the customer's operating results or financial position. If the customer's circumstances change, we would adjust our estimate of the net realizable value of the receivables. In addition, we maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for all other customers based on a variety of factors, including the use of third-party credit risk models that generate quantitative measures of default probabilities based on market factors, the financial condition of customers, the length of time receivables are past due, trends in overall weighted-average risk rating of the total portfolio, macroeconomic conditions, information derived from competitive benchmarking, significant one-time events and historical experience. The past due or delinquency status of a receivable is based on the contractual payment terms of the receivable.
The annual provision for doubtful accounts has averaged approximately 0.04% of net revenue over the last three fiscal years. Using our third-party credit risk model at October 31, 2013, a 50-basis-point deterioration in the weighted-average default probabilities of our significant customers would have increased the allowance for doubtful accounts by $48 million.
HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

Inventory
We state our inventory at the lower of cost or market. We make adjustments to reduce the cost of inventory to its net realizable value, if required, at the product group level for estimated excess, obsolescence or impaired balances. Factors influencing these adjustments include changes in demand, technological changes, product life cycle and development plans, component cost trends, product pricing, physical deterioration and quality issues.
Fair Value of Derivative Instruments
We use derivative instruments to manage a variety of risks, including risks related to interestforeign currency exchange rates and foreign exchange. HP mainly holds non-speculativeinterest rates. We use forwards, swaps and at times, options to hedge certain foreign currency and interest rate exposures. AtWe do not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes. As of October 31, 2013,2015, the gross notional of our derivative portfolio was $51.9$52.6 billion. Assets and liabilities related to derivative instruments are measured at fair value, every reporting period. Atand were $1.1 billion and $0.5 billion, respectively as of October 31, 2013, derivative assets and liabilities were $452 million and $656 million, respectively.2015.
Fair value is the price we would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In the absence of active markets for the identical assets or liabilities, such measurements involve developing assumptions based on market observable data and, in the absence of such data, internal information that is consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction that occurs at the measurement date. The determination of fair value often involves significant judgments about assumptions such as determining an appropriate discount rate that factors in both risk and liquidity premiums, identifying the similarities and differences in market transactions, weighting those differences accordingly and then making the appropriate adjustments to those market transactions to reflect the risks specific to ourthe asset or liability being valued. HPWe generally usesuse industry standard valuation models to measure the fair value of itsour derivative positions. When prices in active markets are not available for the identical asset or liability, HP useswe use 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 market-based

observable inputs, including interest rate curves, HP and counterparty credit risk, foreign currency exchange rates, and forward and spot prices.
For a further discussion on fair value measurements and derivative instruments, refer to Note 811 and Note 9,12, respectively, to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, which are incorporated herein by reference.
Retirement and Post-Retirement Benefits
Our pension and other post-retirement benefit costs and obligations are dependent on various assumptions. Our major assumptions relate primarily to discount rates, future compensation growth rates and the expected long-term return on plan assets. The discount rate assumption is based on current investment yields of high-quality fixed-income securities with maturities similar to the expected benefits payment period. The future compensation growth rate assumption reflects our long-term actual experience and future outlook. The expected long-term return on plan assets is determined based on asset allocations, historical portfolio results, historical asset correlations, and management's expected returns for each asset class. In any fiscal year, significant differences may arise between the actual return and the expected long-term return on plan assets. Historically, differences between the actual return and expected long-term return on plan assets have resulted from changes in target or actual asset allocation, short-term asset performance relative to expected long-term asset performance,
HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis ofFinancial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
differences between target and actual investment allocations, the timing of benefit payments compared to expectations, and the use of derivatives intended to effect asset allocation changes or hedge certain investment or liability exposures. For the recognition of net periodic benefit cost, the calculation of the expected long-term return on plan assets uses the fair value of plan assets as of the beginning of the fiscal year.
Our major assumptions vary by plan, and the weighted-average rates used are set forth in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, which is incorporated herein by reference. For fiscal 2013, changes in the weighted-average assumptions would have had the following impact on our net periodic benefit cost:
Loss Contingencies
We are involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings including those consisting of IP, commercial, securities, employment, employee benefits and environmental matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. We record a liability when we believe that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both the probability of having incurred a liability and the estimated amount of the liability. We review these matters at least quarterly and adjust these liabilities to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other updated information. Forinformation and events, pertaining to a further discussionparticular case. Based on our experience, we believe that any damage amounts claimed in the specific litigation and contingencies refer tomatters further discussed in Note 1716 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, which is incorporated herein by reference.reference, are not a meaningful indicator of HP's potential liability. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. However, we believe we have valid defenses with respect to legal matters pending against us. 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. We believe we have recorded adequate provisions for any such matters and, as of October 31, 2015, it was not reasonably possible that a material loss had been incurred in excess of the amounts recognized in our financial statements.

The following discussion compares the historical results of operations for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. Unless otherwise noted, all comparative performance data included below reflect year-over-year comparisons.
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.

Operating Expenses
Research and Development
R&D expense increased 2% in fiscal 2015 as compared to fiscal 2014 due primarily to expenses from the acquisition of Aruba and increases in Technology Services, cloud and HP Labs, partially offset by favorable currency impacts.
R&D expense increased 10% in fiscal 2014 as compared to fiscal 2013 with increases across each of our segments as we made investments in our strategic focus areas of cloud, security, big data and mobility.
Selling, General and Administrative
SG&A expense decreased 9% in fiscal 2015 as compared to fiscal 2014 due primarily to favorable currency impacts and declines in go-to-market costs as a result of lower commissions and productivity initiatives.
SG&A expense increased 1% in fiscal 2014 as compared to fiscal 2013 due primarily to higher compensation costs, litigation expenses and higher selling costs from investments in the areas of cloud, networking and storage, partially offset by gains from sales of real estate and lower program spending in marketing.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization expense decreased in fiscal 2015 and in fiscal 2014 due primarily to certain intangible assets associated with prior acquisitions reaching the end of their respective amortization periods, partially offset by amortization expense from intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of Aruba in fiscal 2015.
Restructuring Charges
Restructuring charges decreased 37% in fiscal 2015 due primarily to lower charges from the multi-year restructuring plan initially announced in May 2012 (the "2012 Plan").
On September 14, 2015, our Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan (the "2015 Plan") in connection with the Separation which will be implemented through fiscal 2018. As a result, HP recognized $391 million of charges related to the 2015 Plan during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015.

Operating Expenses
Research and Development
R&D expense decreased in fiscal 2013 due primarily to the rationalization of R&D in EG for BCS, cost savings from restructuring and higher value added R&D tax subsidy credits. The decrease was partially offset by increased R&D expense in our Storage and ISS business units and in Software for innovation-focused spending in the areas of converged infrastructure and converged cloud. In fiscal 2013, R&D expense as a percentage of revenue increased for Software, Personal Systems and ES, decreased for EG, and was flat for Printing.
R&D expense increased in fiscal 2012 due primarily to additional expense from the acquisition of Autonomy and innovation-focused spending for Storage, Networking and converged cloud. The increase was partially offset by the elimination of R&D expense associated with the former webOS device business. In fiscal 2012, R&D expense as a percentage of revenue increased for EG, Software, Printing and Personal Systems, and was flat for ES.
Selling, General and Administrative
SG&A expense decreased in fiscal 2013 due primarily to cost savings associated with our ongoing restructuring efforts that impacted all of our segments. Partially offsetting the decline was higher marketing expenses to support new product introductions and increased administrative expenses due in part to higher consulting project spending. In fiscal 2013, SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue increased for our EG, ES, HPFS, and Personal Systems segments, due in part to the revenue declines taking place in these segments, and decreased for our Software and Printing segments.
SG&A expense decreased in fiscal 2012 due primarily to lower marketing costs and $103 million in net gains from the sale of real estate in fiscal 2012. In fiscal 2012, SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue increased for ES and Personal Systems, decreased for EG and Software and was flat for Printing and HPFS.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization expense decreased in fiscal 2013 due primarily to the intangible asset impairment recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 related to Autonomy and certain intangible assets associated with prior acquisitions reaching the end of their amortization periods.
Amortization expense increased in fiscal 2012 due primarily to the intangible assets purchased as part of the Autonomy acquisition in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. The increase was partially offset by decreased amortization expenses related to certain intangible assets associated with prior acquisitions reaching the end of their amortization periods.
For more information on our amortization of intangible assets, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets
In fiscal 2012, we recorded goodwill impairment charges of $8.0 billion and $5.7 billion associated with ES and the acquisition of Autonomy, respectively. In addition, we recorded intangible asset

For more information on our impairment charges, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Restructuring Charges
Restructuring charges decreased in fiscal 2013 due primarily to the $2.1 billion charge recorded in fiscal 2012 for the restructuring plan announced in May 2012 (the "2012 Plan"). Restructuring charges for fiscal 2013 were approximately $1.0 billion, which included $1.2 billion of charges related to the 2012 Plan that were partially offset by a reversal of $190 million of severance charges related to our fiscal 2010 ES restructuring plan.
Restructuring charges increased in fiscal 2014 due primarily to higher charges in connection with the 2012 Plan and from increases to the 2012 Plan announced in fiscal 2014. During fiscal 2014, HP increased the total for positions expected to be eliminated under the 2012 Plan from 34,000 to 55,000 positions. In fiscal 2015, HP recognized restructuring charges of $640 million in connection with the 2012 Plan.
Acquisition and Other Related Charges
Acquisition and other related charges increased for fiscal 2015, due primarily to the $2.1 billionacquisition of Aruba resulting in a non-cash inventory fair value adjustment charge and professional services and legal fees associated with the acquisition.
Separation Costs
Separation costs for the 2012fiscal 2015 were primarily comprised of third-party consulting, contractor fees and other related costs.

Impairment of costsData Center Assets
Impairment of data center assets for fiscal 2015 was related to our fiscal 2008 restructuring plan and $75 million of costs related to our fiscal 2010exit from several ES restructuring plan.
For more information on our restructuring charges, see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, which is incorporated herein by reference.
As part of our ongoing business operations, we incur workforce rebalancing charges for severance and related costs. Workforce rebalancing activities are considered part of normal operations as we continue to optimize our cost structure. Workforce rebalancing costs are included in our business segment results, and we expect to incur additional workforce rebalancing costs in the future.
Acquisition-Related Charges
In fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, we recorded acquisition-related charges of $22 million, $45 million and $182 million, respectively. The decrease in fiscal 2013 and 2012 was due primarily to lower consulting and integration costs associated with the Autonomy acquisition and a reduced level of acquisition activity.data centers.

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-taxlower tax jurisdictions throughout the world. The jurisdictions with favorable tax rates that havehad the most significant impact on HP's effective tax rate impact in the periods presented include China, Ireland, the Netherlands,were Puerto Rico, Singapore, China, Malaysia, Ireland and Singapore.

In addition to the above factors, the overall tax rates in fiscal 2012 and 2011 were impacted by nondeductible goodwill impairments and increases in valuation allowances against certain deferred tax assets.
For a full reconciliation of our effective tax rate to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% and further explanation of our provision for taxes, see Note 136 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, which is incorporated herein by reference.
In fiscal 2015, we recorded $1.6 billion of net income tax benefits related to items unique to the year. These amounts included $1.8 billion tax benefit due to a release of valuation allowances pertaining to certain U.S. deferred tax assets and $486 million tax charge to record valuation allowances on certain foreign deferred tax assets, both related to legal entities within the ES business, $394 million of tax charges for adjustments to uncertain tax positions and the settlement of tax audit matters, inclusive of $449 million of tax charges related to pension transfers, and $3 million of tax charges for various provision to return adjustments and other adjustments. In addition, we recorded $639 million of net tax benefits on restructuring, separation-related and other charges and a tax benefit of $47 million arising from the retroactive research and development credit resulting from the Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014, which was signed into law in December 2014.
We recorded gross deferred tax assets of $12.5 billion, $14.0 billion and $13.6 billion at October 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 which were reduced by valuation allowances of $9.9 billion, $11.9 billion and $11.4 billion respectively. Total valuation allowances decreased by $2 billion in fiscal 2015 associated with the release of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in the U.S., and increased by $525 million in fiscal 2014, associated primarily with foreign net operating losses.
In fiscal 2014, we recorded $53 million of net income tax charges related to items unique to the year.
In fiscal 2013, we recorded $471 million of net income tax charges related to items unique to the year. These amounts included $214 million of net increases to valuation allowances, $406 million of tax charges for adjustments to uncertain tax positions and the settlement of tax audit matters and $47 million of tax charges for various prior period adjustments.

We have reflected this change to our segment information in prior reporting periods on an as-if basis, which resulted in the transfer of net revenue from the Software segment to the Commercial Hardware business unit within the Printing segment. This change also resulted in the transfer of operating profit from the Software segment to the Commercial Hardware business unit within the Printing segment. In addition, this change resulted in the reclassification of $512 million of goodwill from the Software segment to the Printing segment.
These changes had no impact on our previously reported consolidated net revenue, earnings from operations, net earnings or net earnings per share.

Personal Systems net revenue decreased 9.9% (decreased 8.8%increased 6.6% (increased 7.2% on a constant currency basis) in fiscal 2012.2014. While the Personal Systems business continued to be challenged by the market shift towards mobility products, the pace of the PC market decline slowed with signs of stabilization driven by growth in commercial PCs, the effects of which were partially offset by weakness in consumer PCs. The revenue increase in Personal Systems was due to growth in commercial PCs, particularly notebooks, along with growth in consumer notebooks. Personal Systems experienced revenue growth across all regions led by double digit revenue growth in EMEA, which experienced improved demand. The revenue increase was driven by an 8.2% increase in unit volume, the effects of which were partially offset by a 1.5% decline in ASPs. The unit volume increase was primarily led by growth in commercial notebooks as well as strength in commercial desktops, consumer notebooks and thin client products. The decline in ASPs was due primarily to a decline in unit volumes,competitive pricing environment and unfavorable currency impacts, the effecteffects of which waswere partially offset by a nominal increase in ASPs.

Net revenue for commercial clients increased 10% due primarily to a mix shift toward higher-end models, the effect of which was partially offset by unfavorable currency impacts. Unit volume was down 11% due primarily to continued demand weakness in both the consumer and commercial markets. In fiscal 2012, net revenue from Notebook PCs decreased 12% while net revenue from Desktop PCs decreased 9% as a result of the overall market decline. Workstations revenue decreased 3% due to weak demand in the commercial PC market. In fiscal 2012, net revenue for consumer clients decreased 15% while commercial client revenue decreased 6%.
Personal Systems earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue decreased 1.2 percentage points in fiscal 2012. The decrease was due primarily to a gross margin decline resulting from higher component costs combined with an unfavorable currency impact.

Printing net revenue decreased 6.5%8.5% (decreased 6.3%5.1% on a constant currency basis) for fiscal 2015. The decline in fiscal 2012, driven by broad-based consumernet revenue was due primarily to unfavorable currency impacts, decline in Supplies, weak market demand weakness in all regions. Printer unit volume declined 15%, while ARU increased by 8%. Net revenue for Supplies decreased 6% in fiscal 2012 driven by demand declines in all regions,and competitive pricing pressures, the effects of which were partially offset by growth in large format printinggraphics products. From a regional perspective, Printing experienced a net revenue decline across all regions, primarily in EMEA and particularly in Russia as a result of challenges in those markets.
Net revenue for Supplies decreased 6% due primarily to unfavorable currency impacts and demand weakness in toner and ink, partially offset by growth in graphics supplies. The demand weakness in toner was particularly in EMEA, led by a net revenue decline in Russia. Printer unit volumes declined 7% while average revenue per unit ("ARU") decreased 7%. Printer unit volume declined due primarily to a decline in LaserJet and home printer units, the effects of which were partially offset by growth in graphics printer units. The ARU for printers decreased due primarily to a highly competitive pricing environment and unfavorable currency impacts on Inkjet and LaserJet printers. Net revenue for Commercial Hardware decreased 10% driven by a 7% decline in printer unit volume and a 4% decline in ARU, partially offset by a net revenue increase in other peripheral solutions. In Commercial Hardware, the decline in unit volume was due primarily to an overall decline in LaserJet printer units, partially offset by growth in graphics printer units.

Fiscal 2014 compared with Fiscal 2013
In fiscal 2014, Printing experienced a decline in revenue and an increase in operating profit as we continued to push our print strategies, which includes driving high value printer unit placements and expanding our graphics products and managed print services portfolio. Printing net revenue decreased 3.8% (decreased 3.3% on a constant currency basis) for fiscal 2014. The decline in net revenue was primarily driven by a decline in Supplies, the effects of which were partially offset by growth in graphics products and managed print services.
Net revenue for Supplies decreased 5% driven by demand weakness in toner and ink, and a reduction in channel inventory in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the effects of which were partially offset by growth in graphics supplies. Printer unit volume remained flat while ARU decreased 1%. Printer unit volume was flat due primarily to our continued efforts to target high value areas of the market, which resulted in a decline in home printer units and low value LaserJet printer units, the effects of which were offset by increased units in SMB, multifunction laser and graphics printers. The decline in ARU was due primarily to increased discounting driven by competitive pricing pressures. Net revenue for Commercial Hardware was flat as a 3% increase in printer unit volume was offset by a 3% decline in printer ARU. The unit volume in Commercial Hardware increased due primarily to growth in our multifunction laser printers and graphics printers. The ARU decline in Commercial Hardware was due primarily to a decline in LaserJet and graphics printers driven by a competitive pricing environment. Net revenue for Consumer Hardware decreased 4% driven by a 1% decline in printer unit volume and a 1% decline in ARU, along with a decline in other peripheral printing solutions. The unit volume decline in Consumer Hardware was due to lower sales of home printers, the effects of which were partially offset by growth in SMB printers. The ARU decline in Consumer Hardware was due primarily to increased discounting for SMB printers due to a competitive pricing environment, the effects of which were partially offset by a favorable mix of high value home printers.
Printing earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue increased by 1.8 percentage points for fiscal 2014 as an increase in gross margin more than offset an increase in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue. The gross margin increase was due to favorable currency impacts primarily driven by the Japanese yen, continued cost structure improvements and a favorable mix from a higher proportion of graphics and ink supplies, the effects of which were partially offset by a competitive pricing environment. Operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue increased due primarily to higher R&D expenses as a result of our investments in enterprise products and 3-D printing, the effects of which were partially offset by reduced marketing expenses.

Fiscal 2015 compared with Fiscal 2014
EG net revenue increased 0.7% (increased 6.3% on a constant currency basis) in fiscal 2015. The increase in EG net revenue was due primarily to growth in ISS and from our acquisition of Aruba in May 2015, partially offset primarily by unfavorable currency impacts led by the euro and a net revenue decline in TS. However, we continued to experience challenges due to market trends, including the transition to cloud computing, as well as product and technology transitions, along with a highly competitive pricing environment.
ISS net revenue increased 8% as a result of higher average unit prices ("AUPs) and unit volume growth. The increase in AUP's was across the server portfolio, primarily driven by higher option attach rates for memory, processors and hard drives and a mix shift to high-end new generation HP ProLiant servers. The unit volume growth was primarily due to shipment increases in rack and density optimized server products. Networking net revenue increased 8% due primarily to revenue from Aruba, which resulted in higher revenue from wireless local area network ("WLAN") products, the effect of which was partially offset by competitive pricing pressures, particularly in the China market. Storage net revenue decreased 4% as a result of a decline in traditional storage products, the effect of which was partially offset by growth in our hyperscale server products.Converged Storage solutions from the 3PAR StoreServ products,

In fiscal 2015, EG earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue decreased by 0.1 percentage point due to a decrease in gross margin partially offset by a decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue. The consultingdecrease in gross margin was due primarily to a higher revenue decline was a resultmix of ISS products, unfavorable currency impacts and competitive pricing, the divestitureeffects of a service product linewhich were partially offset by improved cost management, improved pricing in Storage and a shifthigher gross margin contribution in Networking from Aruba. The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue was due primarily to more profitablefavorable currency impacts, partially offset by expenses during the period from Aruba.
Fiscal 2014 compared with Fiscal 2013
EG net revenue decreased 1.0% (decreased 0.6% on a constant currency basis) in fiscal 2014. In EG, we continued to experience revenue challenges due to market trends, including the transition to cloud computing, as well as product and technology transitions, along with a highly competitive pricing environment. The decline in EG net revenue was due to net revenue declines in TS, BCS and Storage partially offset by net revenue growth in ISS and Networking.

EG earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue decreased by 2.10.8 percentage points in fiscal 2013 driven by a decrease in gross margin and, to a lesser extent, an increase in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue. The gross margin decrease was due primarily to competitive pricing pressures in ISS and, to a lesser extent, pricing pressures in Storage and mix impacts from lower BCS revenue. Operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue increased2014 due to the decline in EG net revenue and increased field selling costs and administrative expenses. R&D expenses as a percentage of net revenue decreased due primarily to the rationalization of R&D specifically for BCS and a value-added tax subsidy credit in BCS. EG also benefitted from cost savings resulting from our ongoing restructuring efforts.
EG net revenue decreased 5.3% (decreased 4.6% on a constant currency basis) in fiscal 2012 due primarily to revenue decreases in ISS, BCS, Storage and TS. In fiscal 2012, ISS net revenue decreased by 7% driven by declines in unit volume and average unit prices. The declines were due primarily to competitive pricing pressures and macroeconomic challenges in EMEA. These effects were partially offset by increased demand for public and private cloud offerings. BCS net revenue decreased by 23% in fiscal 2012 mainly as a result of lower demand for our Itanium-based servers, the impact of which was slightly offset by growth in NonStop servers. Storage net revenue decreased 6% in fiscal 2012, due primarily to revenue declines in storage tape and storage networking products, the effect of which was partially offset by strong growth in 3PAR products and StoreOnce data deduplication solutions. TS net revenue decreased by 1% in fiscal 2012, due primarily to revenue declines in our support business driven by an unfavorable currency impact. Support contract renewals remained steady while declines in third-party hardware support were offset by growth in project services. Networking net revenue increased 4% in fiscal 2012 due to higher market demand for our core data center products, the effect of which was partially offset by competitive pricing pressures and the divestiture of our video surveillance business.
EG earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue decreased by 2.5 percentage points in fiscal 2012 driven by a decrease in gross margin coupled with an increase in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue.

The decline in license net revenue was due to the market and customer shift to SaaS solutions, which resulted in lower revenue from IT/cloud management and information management products, partially offset by strength in some of our key focus areas of big data analytics and security. The decrease in support net revenue was due to past declines in license revenue. Professional services net revenue decreased as we continued our focus on higher-margin engagements.

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, maturingprincipal and interest payment of debt, income tax payments and the payment of stockholder dividends, in addition to discretionary investments and share repurchases. We are able to supplement this short-term liquidity, if necessary, with broad access to capital markets and credit line facilities made available by various foreigndomestic and domesticforeign financial institutions. Our access to capital markets may be constrained and our cost of borrowing may increase under certain business, market and economic conditions; however, our use ofaccess to a variety of funding sources to meet our liquidity needs is designed to facilitate continued access to borrowingcapital 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 and market risks identified in the section entitled "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" in Item 7A.7A, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Our cash balances are held in numerous locations throughout the world, with substantially all of those amounts held outside of the United States.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.

Except for foreign earnings that are considered indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States,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 United StatesU.S. and we would meet liquidity needs through ongoing cash flows, external borrowings, or both.

In connection with the Separation, we reviewed our capital structure during fiscal 2015 to ensure that each company, HP Inc. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, would be well capitalized after the Separation. In October 2015, prior to the Separation, Hewlett Packard Enterprise completed its offering of $14.6 billion senior unsecured notes and we redeemed and paid $6.6 billion of U.S. Dollar Global Notes as a result of early extinguishment of debt. In connection with our ongoing operations and in part due to the Separation, we repaid a short-term loan of $3.5 billion, issued $18.2 billion and repaid $18.4 billion of commercial paper in fiscal 2015. On November 4, 2015, we incrementally redeemed and paid $2.1 billion U.S. Dollar Global Notes as part of the final settlement of the debt redemption issued as a part of the Separation.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increaseddecreased by $1.0approximately $5.8 billion for fiscal 20132015 as compared to fiscal 2012. The increase was due primarily to the impact of improved payment terms from suppliers and a reduction in payments associated with webOS contract cancellations, the impact of which was partially offset due to higher cash utilization in inventory. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $2.1 billion for fiscal 2012 as compared to fiscal 2011.2014. The decrease was due primarily to lower net earnings and higher utilization of cash resources for payment of accounts payable, the impact of which was partially offset by lower investments in inventory and higher cash generated from collections of accountsworking capital management activities, payments for separation costs, lower cash receipts from contract manufacturers and financing receivables.receivables, lower net earnings in the current period, unfavorable currency impacts, as well as higher cash payments for prepaids and employee benefits. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $0.7 billion for fiscal 2014 as compared to fiscal 2013, due primarily to improvements in working capital management.

Days of sales outstanding in accounts receivable ("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 of net revenue. Our accounts receivable balanceFor fiscal 2015, the increase in DSO was $15.9 billion asdue primarily to lower usage of October 31, 2013.cash discounts by our customers and longer standard payment terms for Aruba. For fiscal 2014, the decrease in DSO was due primarily to the impact of currency and the expansion of our factoring programs.
Days of supply in inventory ("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 of cost of goods sold. OurFor fiscal 2015, the increase in DOS was due to higher inventory balance to support future sales levels. For fiscal 2014, the increase in DOS was $6.0 billion as of October 31, 2013.due to a higher inventory balance in Personal Systems due in part to strategic and advanced buys.
Days of purchases outstanding in accounts payable ("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 of cost of goods sold. Our accounts payable balanceFor fiscal 2015, the increase in DPO was $14.0 billion asprimarily the result of October 31, 2013.purchasing linearity and an extension of payment terms with our product suppliers. For fiscal 2014, the increase in DPO was primarily the result of an extension of payment terms with our product suppliers.
Our working capital requirements depend on effectively managing the cash conversion cycle, which represents the number of days that elapse from the day we pay for the purchase of inventory to the collection of cash from our customers. The cash conversion cycle is the sum of DSO and DOS less DPO.
The 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.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities increased by approximately $2.7 billion for fiscal 2013 decreased by 4 days2015 as compared to fiscal 2012 and is below what we expect to be a long-term sustainable rate. The DSO remained flat year over year. The decrease in DOS was due to lower inventory balances, relative to the rate of decline in cost of goods sold, in most segments as of October 31, 2013. The increase in DPO was primarily due to favorable payment term changes partially offset by unfavorable purchasing linearity.
The cash conversion cycle for fiscal 2012 decreased by five days compared to fiscal 2011. The decrease in DSO was2014, due primarily to improved collections, an increasethe acquisition of Aruba. Net cash used in cash discounts and a decline in extended payment terms. Additionally, our DSO benefited from the current-period DSO calculation containing a full quarter of revenue from our Autonomy acquisition versus the approximately one month of revenue that was included in the prior-period DSO calculation.

Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $0.7 billionflat for fiscal 20132014 as compared to fiscal 2012,2013, due primarily to lower investments inhigher cash utilization for purchases of property, plant and equipment and higher netoffset by cash generated from sales and maturities of available-for-sale securities. Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $10.5 billion for fiscal 2012 as compared to fiscal 2011, due primarily to lower payments for acquisitions in 2012.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.3 billion in fiscal 2015 as compared to net cash used in financing activities increasedof $6.6 billion in fiscal 2014.

| ||||||||||
Two of the major independent rating agencies, Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, downgraded our ratings once during fiscal 2012, and a third rating agency, Fitch Ratings, downgraded our ratings twice during that fiscal year. Moody's Investors Service also downgraded our long-term debt from A3 to Baa1 in November 2012. Our credit ratings remain under negative outlook by Moody's Investors Service. 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 into our credit ratings by any of the rating agencies may further impact us in a similar manner, and, depending on the extent of theany such downgrade, could have a negative impact on our liquidity and capital position. We expect tocan rely on alternative sources of funding, including drawdowns under our credit facilities, orif necessary, to offset potential reductions in the issuance of debt or other securitiesmarket capacity for our commercial paper.

ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate risks that could impact our financial position and results of operations. Our risk management strategy with respect to these market risks may include the use of derivative financial instruments. We use derivative contracts only to manage existing underlying exposures of HP.exposures. Accordingly, we do not use derivative contracts for speculative purposes. Our risks, risk management strategy and a sensitivity analysis estimating the effects of changes in fair valuesvalue for each of these exposures areis outlined below.
Actual gains and losses in the future may differ materially from the sensitivity analyses based on changes in the timing and amount of interestforeign currency exchange rate and foreign currency exchangeinterest rate movements and our actual exposures and derivatives in place at the time of the change, as well as the effectiveness of the derivative to hedge the related exposure.
Foreign currency exchange rate risk
We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk inherent in our sales commitments, anticipated sales, anticipated purchases and assets liabilities and debtliabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We transact business in approximately 7579 currencies worldwide, of which the most significant foreign currencies to our operations for fiscal 20132015 were the euro, the Japanese yen,British pound, Chinese yuan renminbi and the British pound.Japanese yen. For most currencies, we are a net receiver of the foreign currency and therefore benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar relative to the foreign currency. Even where we are a net receiver of the foreign currency, a weaker U.S. dollar may adversely affect certain expense figures, if taken alone.
We use a combination of forward contracts and at times, options designated as cash flow hedges to protect against the foreign currency exchange rate risks inherent in our forecasted net revenue and, to a lesser extent, cost of sales and intercompany loans denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. In addition, when debt is denominated in a foreign currency, we may use swaps to exchange the foreign currency principal and interest obligations for U.S. dollar-denominated amounts to manage the exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We also use other derivatives not designated as hedging instruments consisting primarily of forward contracts to hedge foreign currency balance sheet exposures. Alternatively, we may choose not to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with our foreign currency exposures, primarily if such exposure acts as a natural foreign currency hedge for other offsetting amounts denominated in the same currency or if the currency is too difficult or too expensive to hedge.
We have performed sensitivity analyses as of October 31, 20132015 and 2012,2014, using a modeling technique that measures the change in the fair values arising from a hypothetical 10% adverse movement in the levels of foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar, with all other variables held constant. The analyses cover all of our foreign currency derivative contracts offset by underlying exposures. The foreign currency exchange rates we used in performing the sensitivity analysis were based on market rates in effect at October 31, 20132015 and 2012.2014. The sensitivity analyses indicated that a hypothetical 10% adverse movement in foreign currency exchange rates would result in a foreign exchange fair value loss of $80$72 million and $71$62 million at October 31, 20132015 and October 31, 2012,2014, respectively.
Interest rate risk
We also are exposed to interest rate risk related to debt we have issued and our debt and investment portfoliosportfolio and financing receivables.
We issue long-term debt in either U.S. dollars or foreign currencies based on market conditions at the time of financing. We then often use interest rate and/or currency swaps to modify the market risk
exposures in connection with the debt to achieve U.S. dollar LIBOR-based floating interest expense.
The swap transactions generally involve the exchange of fixed for floating interest payments. However, we may choose not to swap fixed for floating interest payments or may terminate a previously executed swap if we believe a larger proportion of fixed-rate debt would be beneficial.
In order to hedge the fair value of certain fixed-rate investments, we may enter into interest rate swaps that convert fixed interest returns into variable interest returns. We may use cash flow hedges to hedge the variability of LIBOR-based interest income received on certain variable-rate investments. We may also enter into interest rate swaps that convert variable rate interest returns into fixed-rate interest returns.
We have performed sensitivity analyses as of October 31, 20132015 and 2012,2014, using a modeling technique that measures the change in the fair values arising from a hypothetical 10% adverse movement in the levels of interest rates across the entire yield curve, with all other variables held constant. The analyses cover our debt, investments, financing receivables and interest rate swaps. The analyses use actual or approximate maturities for the debt, investments, financing receivables and interest rate swaps. The discount rates used were based on the market interest rates in effect at October 31, 20132015 and 2012.2014. The sensitivity analyses indicated that a hypothetical 10% adverse movement in interest rates would result in a loss in the fair values of our debt, investments and financing receivables, net of interest rate swaps, of $95$119 million at October 31, 20132015 and $121$80 million at October 31, 2012.2014.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Hewlett-Packard Company HP Inc.
We have audited Hewlett-Packard Company'sHP Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2013,2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (1992(2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). Hewlett-Packard Company'sHP Inc.'s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Hewlett-Packard CompanyHP Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2013,2015, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hewlett-Packard CompanyHP Inc. and subsidiaries as of October 31, 20132015 and 2012,2014, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended October 31, 20132015 and our report dated December 27, 201316, 2015 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
HP's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for HP. HP's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. HP's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of HP; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of HP are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of HP; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of HP's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Note 1: Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
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 November 1, 2015, each of HP 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's 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". After the Separation, HP does not beneficially own any shares of Hewlett Packard Enterprise common stock and beginning November 1, 2015, HP no longer consolidates Hewlett Packard Enterprise within its financial results or reflect the financial results of Hewlett Packard Enterprise within its continuing results of operations.
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 its investments, property and employee benefits and tax-related assets and liabilities) attributable to periods prior to, at and after the Separation and govern certain relationship between HP and Hewlett Packard Enterprise after the Separation. For more information on the impacts of these agreements, see Note 3 "Restructuring", Note 4 "Retirement and Post-Retirement Benefit Plans", Note 5 "Stock-Based Compensation", Note 6 "Taxes on Earnings", Note 13 "Borrowings", Note 16 "Litigation and Contingencies" and Note 17 "Guarantees, Indemnifications and Warranties".
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated 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 historical results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of Hewlett Packard Enterprise are included in the consolidated financial statements of HP for each of the fiscal years included in this report and will be reported as discontinued operations beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2016.
Principles of Consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Hewlett-Packard Company ("HP")HP and theits subsidiaries and affiliates in which HP has a controlling financial interest or is the primary beneficiary. HP accounts for equity 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 Statements of Earnings. HP presents non-controlling interests as a separate component within Total stockholder's equity in the Consolidated

Balance Sheets. Net earnings attributable to the non-controlling interests are eliminated within Interest and other, net in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and are not presented separately as they were not material for any period presented. HP has eliminated all significant intercompany accounts and transactions.
Reclassifications and Segment Reorganization
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.share ("EPS"). See Note 182 for a further discussion of HP's segment reorganization.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in HP's Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Revenue RecognitionForeign Currency Translation
HP derivespredominately uses the U.S. dollar as its functional currency. Assets and liabilities denominated in non-U.S. dollars are remeasured into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates for monetary assets and liabilities and at historical exchange rates for nonmonetary assets and liabilities. Net revenue, costs and expenses denominated in non-U.S. dollars are recorded in U.S. dollars at monthly average exchange rates prevailing during the period. HP includes gains or losses from foreign currency remeasurement in Interest and other, net revenue primarilyin the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Certain non-U.S. subsidiaries designate the local currency as their functional currency, and HP records the translation of their assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars at the balance sheet date as translation adjustments and includes them as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update for income taxes, which requires deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The new accounting guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of interim or annual reporting periods. HP is currently assessing the impact of this adoption on its Consolidated Financial Statements, and plans to adopt for its interim and annual reporting period beginning November 1, 2015.
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 as is retrospective application. HP is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
HP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
Note 1: Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
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 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 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 is required to adopt the guidance in the first quarter of products and services. The following revenue recognition policies define the manner in which HP accounts for sales transactions.fiscal 2016.
Revenue Recognition
General
HP recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of a salesan arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services are rendered, the sales price or fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibilitycollectability is reasonably assured. Additionally, HP recognizes hardware revenue on sales to channel partners, including resellers, distributors or value-added solution providers at the time of delivery when the channel partners have economic substance apart from HP, and HP has completed its obligations related to the sale. HP generally recognizes revenue for its stand-alonestandalone software sales to channel partners upon receivingon receipt of evidence that the software has been sold to a specific end user. HP limits the amount of revenue recognized for delivered elements to the amount that is not contingent on the future delivery of products or services, future performance obligations or subject to customer-specified refund or return rights.
HP reduces revenue for customer and distributor programs and incentive offerings, including price protection, rebates, promotions, other volume-based incentives and expected returns, at the later of the date of revenue recognition or the date the sales incentive is offered. Future market conditions and product transitions may require HP to take actions to increase customer incentive offerings, possibly resulting in an incremental reduction of revenue at the time the incentive is offered. For certain

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
Note 1: Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
incentive programs, HP estimates the number of customers expected to redeem the incentive based on historical experience and the specific terms and conditions of the incentive.
In instances when revenue is derived from sales of third-party vendor products or services, HP records revenue on a gross basis when HP is a principal to the transaction and on a net basis when HP is acting as an agent between the customer and the vendor. HP considers several factors to determine whether it is acting as a principal or an agent, most notably whether HP is the primary obligor to the customer, has established its own pricing and has inventory and credit risks.
HP reports revenue net of any taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities, with the collected taxes recorded as current liabilities until remitted to the relevant government authority.
Multiple element arrangements
When a sales arrangement contains multiple elements or deliverables, such as hardware and software products, licenses and/or services, HP allocates revenue to each element based on a selling price hierarchy. The selling price for a deliverable is based on its vendor specific objective evidence ("VSOE") of selling price, if available, third partythird-party evidence ("TPE") if VSOE of selling price is not available, or estimated selling price ("ESP") if neither VSOE of selling price nor TPE is available. HP establishes VSOE of selling price using the price charged for a deliverable when sold separately and, in rare instances, using the price established by management having the relevant authority. HP establishes TPE of selling price

by evaluating largely similar and interchangeable competitor products or services in standalone sales to similarly situated customers. HP establishes ESP based on management judgment considering internal factors such as margin objectives, pricing practices and controls, customer segment pricing strategies and the product life cycle. Consideration is also given to market conditions such as competitor pricing strategies and technology industry technology life cycles. In most arrangements with multiple elements, HP determines allocation ofallocates the transaction price to the individual units of accounting at inception of the arrangement based on thetheir relative selling price of each unit of accounting.price.
In multiple element arrangements wherethat include software that is more-than-incidental, software deliverables are included, HP allocates the transaction price to the individual units of accounting for the non-software deliverables and to the software deliverables as a group using the relative selling pricesprice of each of the deliverables in the arrangement based on the selling price hierarchy. If the arrangement contains more than one software deliverable, the transaction price allocated to the group of software deliverables is then allocated to each component software deliverable.
HP limits the amount of revenue recognized for delivered elements to the amount that is not contingent on the future delivery of products or services, future performance obligations or subject to customer-specified return or refund privileges.
HP evaluates each deliverable in an arrangement to determine whether it represents a separate unit of accounting. A deliverable constitutes a separate unit of accounting when it has standalone value and there areto the customer. For elements with no customer-negotiated refund or return rights or other contingencies present forstandalone value, HP recognizes revenue consistent with the deliveredpattern of the undelivered elements. If the arrangement includes a customer-negotiated refund or return right or other contingency relative to the delivered item,items, and the delivery and performance of the undelivered itemitems is considered probable and substantially within HP's control, the delivered element constitutes a separate unit of accounting. In instances when the aforementioned criteria are not met, the deliverable isarrangements with combined with the undelivered elements andunits of accounting, changes in the allocation of the arrangement consideration and methodtransaction price among elements may impact the timing of revenue recognition is determined for the combined unit as a single unit of accounting.
HP records estimated reductions tocontract but will not change the total revenue recognized for customer and distributor programs and incentive offerings, including price protection, promotions, other volume-based incentives and expected returns. Future market conditions and product transitions may require HP to take actions to increase customer incentive offerings, possibly resulting in an incremental reduction of revenue at the time the incentive is offered. Additionally, certain incentive programs require HP to estimate, based on historical experience and the specific terms and conditions of the incentive, the number of customers who will actually redeem the incentive.
In instances when revenue is derived from sales of third-party vendor services, HP records revenue on a gross basis when HP is a principal to the transaction and net of costs when HP is acting as an agent between the customer and the vendor. HP considers several factors to determine whether it is a principal or an agent, most notably whether HP is the primary obligor to the customer, has established its own pricing, and has inventory and credit risks.
HP reports revenue net of any required taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities, with the collected taxes recorded as current liabilities until remitted to the relevant government authority.contract.

ProductsProduct revenue
Hardware
Under HP's standard terms and conditions of sale, HP transfers title and risk of loss to the customer at the time product is delivered to the customer and recognizes revenue accordingly, unless customer acceptance is uncertain or significant obligations to the customer remain. HP reduces revenue for estimated customer returns, price protection, rebates and other programs offered under sales agreements established by HP with its distributors and resellers. HP records revenue from the sale of equipment under sales-type leases as product revenue at the inception of the lease. HP accrues the estimated cost of post-sale obligations, including basicstandard product warranties, based on historical experience at the time HP recognizes revenue.
Software
HP recognizes revenue from perpetual software licenses at the inception of the license term, assuming all revenue recognition criteria have been met.satisfied. Term-based software license revenue is generally recognized ratably over the term of the license. HP uses the residual method to allocate revenue to software licenses at the inception of the license termarrangement when VSOE of fair value for all undelivered elements, exists, such as post-contract customer support, exists and all other revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. HP recognizes revenue generated from maintenance and unspecified upgrades or updates provided on a when-and-if-availablewhen-and- if-available basis ratably over the period during which such items are delivered.
HP recognizes revenue for software hosting or software-as-a-service ("SaaS") arrangements as the service is delivered, generally on a straight-line basis, over the contractual period of performance. In software hosting arrangements where licenses are sold, HP recognizes the associated software revenue according to whether perpetual licenses or term licenses are sold, subject to the above guidance. In such software hosting arrangements, HP considers the rights provided to the customer (e.g., ownership whether the customer has the contractual right to take possession of a license, contract termination provisionsthe software at any time during the hosting period without significant penalty and the feasibility of the customer to operate or contract with another vendor to operate the software) in determining how to account forwhether the arrangement includes the sale of a software license fees.license. In SaaShosting arrangements where software licenses are not sold, HP recognizes the entire arrangement ratably over thelicense revenue is generally recognized according to whether perpetual or term of the subscription arrangement.licenses are sold, when all other revenue recognition criteria are satisfied.
Services revenue
HP recognizes revenue from fixed-price support or maintenance contracts, including extended warranty contracts and software post-contract customer support agreements, ratably over the contract period and recognizes the costs associated with these contracts as incurred. For time and material contracts, HP recognizes revenue as services are rendered and recognizes costs as they are incurred.
HP recognizes revenue from certain fixed-price contracts, such as consulting arrangements, as work progresses over the contract period on a proportional performance basis, as determined by the relationshippercentage of actual labor costs incurred to date compared to the total estimated total contract labor costs.costs of a contract. HP recognizes revenue on certainfixed-price contracts for design and build projects (to design, develop and construct software and systems) using the percentage-of-completion method. HP uses the cost-to-cost method of measurement towardsto measure progress toward completion as determined by the percentage of cost incurred to date compared to the total estimated costs of the project. Estimates of total project costs for fixed-price contracts are regularly revised during the life of a contract. HP records revisions to cost estimates, and overall contract losses where applicable, in the period in which the facts that give rise to

HP generally recognizes outsourcing services revenue in the period when the service is provided and the amount earned is not contingent uponon the occurrence of any future event. IfHP recognizes revenue using an objective measure of output for unit-priced contracts. Revenue for fixed-price outsourcing contracts with periodic billings is recognized on a straight-line basis if the service is provided evenly during the contract term but service billings are uneven, HP generally recognizes revenue on a straight-line basis over the contract term. LossesProvisions for estimated losses on outsourcing arrangements are recognized in the period in whichwhen such contractual losses become probable and estimable.
HP recognizes revenue from operating leases on a straight-line basis as service revenue over the rental period.
HP records amounts invoiced to customers in excess of revenue recognized as deferred revenue until the revenue recognition criteria are met. HP records revenue that is earned and recognized in excess of amounts invoiced on services contracts as trade receivables.
Financing income
Sales-type and direct-financing leases produce financing income, which HP recognizes at consistent rates of return over the lease term.
Deferred revenue and deferred costs
HP records amounts invoiced to customers in excess of revenue recognized as deferred revenue until the revenue recognition criteria are satisfied. HP records revenue that is earned and recognized in excess of amounts invoiced on services contracts as trade receivables.
Deferred revenue represents amounts receivedinvoiced in advance for product support contracts, software customer support contracts, outsourcing startup services work, consulting and integration projects, product sales or leasing income. The product support contracts include stand-alone product support packages, routine maintenance service contracts, upgrades or extensions to standard product warranty, as well as high-availability services for complex, global, networked, multi-vendor environments. HP defers these support service amounts at the time HP bills the customer, and HP then generally recognizes the amounts ratably over the support contract term or as HP delivers the services.
HP recognizes costs associated with outsourcing contracts as incurred, unless such costs relate to the startup phase of the outsourcing contract and are considered direct and incremental to the startup phase of the contract, in which case HP defers these costs during the startup phase and subsequently amortizes such costs over the contractualperiod that outsourcing services period.are provided, once those services commence. HP amortizes deferred contract costs on a straight-line basis over the remaining original term of the contract unless facts and circumstances of the contract indicate a shorter period is more appropriate. Based on actual and projected contract financial performance indicators, HP analyzes the recoverability of deferred contract costs associated with a particular contract on a periodic basis using the undiscounted estimated cash flows of the contract over its remaining term. If such undiscounted cash flows are insufficient to recover the long-lived assets andcarrying amount of deferred contract costs and long-lived assets directly associated with the contract, the deferred contract costs are written down based on a discounted cash flow model.first impaired. If a cash flow deficiency remains after reducing the balancecarrying amount of the deferred contract costs to zero, HP evaluates any remaining long-lived assets related to that contract for impairment.

Advertising
HP expenses advertising costs as incurred or when the advertising is first run. Such costs totaled approximately $878 million in fiscal 2013, $1.0 billion in fiscal 2012 and $1.2 billion in fiscal 2011.
Software Development Costs
HP capitalizes costs incurred to acquire or develop software for resale subsequent to the software product establishing technological feasibility, if significant. HP amortizes capitalized software development costs using the greater of the straight-line amortization method or the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total current and anticipated future gross revenues for that product. The estimated useful lives for capitalized software for resale are generally three years or less. Software development costs incurred subsequent to a product establishing technological feasibility are usually not significant. In those instances, HP expenses such costs as incurred.
Stock-Based Compensation
HP determines stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payment awards based on the measurement date fair value.value of the award. HP recognizes compensation cost only for those awards expected to meet the service and performance vesting conditions on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. HP determines compensation costs at the aggregate grant level for service-based awards and at the individual vesting tranche level for awards with performance and/or market conditions. HP estimates the forfeiture rate based on its historical experience.
Retirement and Post-Retirement Plans
HP has various defined benefit, other contributory and noncontributory retirement and post-retirement plans. HP generally amortizes unrecognized actuarial gains and losses on a straight-line basis over the average remaining estimated service life of participants. In some cases, HP amortizes actuarial gains and losses using the corridor approach. See Note 4 for a full description of these plans and the accounting and funding policies.
Advertising
Costs to produce advertising are expensed as incurred during production. Costs to communicate advertising are expensed when the advertising is first run. Such costs totaled approximately $859 million in fiscal 2015, $834 million in fiscal 2014 and $867 million in fiscal 2013.
Restructuring
HP records restructuring charges associated with management-approved restructuring plans to reorganize one or more of HP's business segments, to remove duplicative headcount and infrastructure associated with business acquisitions or to simplify business processes and accelerate innovation. Restructuring charges can include severance costs to eliminate a specified number of employees, infrastructure charges to vacate facilities and consolidate operations, and contract cancellation costs. HP records restructuring charges based on estimated employee terminations and site closure and consolidation plans. HP accrues for severance and other employee separation costs under these actions when it is probable that benefits will be paid and the amount is reasonably estimable. The rates used in determingdetermining severance accruals are based on existing plans, historical experiences and negotiated settlements.
Foreign Currency Translation
HP uses the U.S. dollar predominately as its functional currency. Assets and liabilities denominated in non-U.S. dollars are remeasured into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates for monetary assets and liabilities and at historical exchange rates for nonmonetary assets and liabilities. Net revenue, costs and expenses are remeasured at monthly average exchange rates prevailing during the period. HP includes gains or losses from foreign currency remeasurement in Interest and other, net in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. Certain non-U.S. subsidiaries designate the local currency as their functional currency, and HP records the translation of their assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars at the balance sheet dates as translation adjustments and includes them as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Debt and Marketable Equity Securities
Debt and marketable equity securities are generally considered available-for-sale and are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable taxes, recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Realized gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are calculated based on the specific identification method and included in Interest and other, net in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. HP monitors its investment portfolio for impairment on a quarterly basis. When the carrying value of an investment in debt securities exceeds its fair value and the decline in value is determined to be an other-than-temporary decline (i.e., when HP does not intend to sell the debt securities and it is not more likely than not that HP will be required to sell the debt securities prior to anticipated recovery of its amortized cost basis), HP records an impairment charge to Interest and other, net in the amount of the credit loss and the balance, if any, to Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for Accounts Receivable
HP establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts for account receivables. HP records a specific reserve for individual accounts when HP becomes aware of specific customer circumstances, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings or a deterioration in the customer's operating results or financial position. If there are additional changes in circumstances related to the specific customer, HP further adjusts estimates of the recoverability of receivables. HP maintains bad debt reserves for all other customers based on a variety of factors, including the use of third-party credit risk models that generate quantitative measures of default probabilities based on market factors, the financial condition of customers, the length of time receivables are past due, trends in the weighted-average risk rating for the portfolio, macroeconomic conditions, information derived from competitive benchmarking, significant one-time events and historical experience. The past due or delinquency status of a receivable is based on the contractual payment terms of the receivable.
Inventory
HP values inventory at the lower of cost or market. Cost is computed using standard cost which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. Adjustments to reduce the cost of inventory to its net realizable value are made, if required, for estimated excess, obsolete or impaired balances.
Derivatives
HP uses derivative financial instruments, primarily non-speculative forwards, swaps, and options, to hedge certain foreign currency and interest rate exposures. HP also may use other derivative instruments not designated as hedges, such as forwards used to hedge foreign currency balance sheet exposures. HP does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. See Note 9 for a full description of HP's derivative financial instrument activities and related accounting policies.
Property, Plant and Equipment
HP states property, plant and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. HP capitalizes additions and improvements and expenses maintenance and repairs as incurred. Depreciation is computed using straight-line or accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives are five to 40 years for buildings and improvements and three to 15 years for
HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

machinery and equipment. HP depreciates leasehold improvements over the life of the lease or the asset, whichever is shorter. HP depreciates equipment held for lease over the initial term of the lease to the equipment's estimated residual value. The estimated useful lives of assets used solely to support a customer services contract generally do not exceed the term of the customer contract. Upon retirement or disposition, the asset cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed with any gain or loss recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
HP capitalizes certain internal and external costs incurred to acquire or create internal use software, principally related to software coding, designing system interfaces and installation and testing of the software. HP amortizes capitalized internal use software costs using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the software, generally from three to five years.
Business Combinations
HP includes the results of operations of the businesses that it has acquired in HP's consolidated results prospectively from the respective dates of acquisition. HP allocates the fair value of purchase consideration to the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests in the acquired entity generally based on their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair value of these assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interests in the acquired entity is recorded as goodwill. The primary items that generate goodwill include the value of the synergies between the acquired companies and HP and the acquired assembled workforce, neither of which qualifies for recognition as an intangible asset. Acquisition-related expenses and restructuring costs are recognized separately from the business combination and are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill
HP reviews goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. While HP is permitted to conduct a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is necessary to perform a two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test, for its annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, HP performed a quantitative test for all of its reporting units.
Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. Except for the Enterprise Group ("EG") and Enterprise Services ("ES"), HP's reporting units are consistent with the reportable segments identified in Note 18. The Enterprise Group includes two reporting units, which are Enterprise Servers, Storage and Networking ("ESSN") and Technology Services ("TS"). ES also consists of two reporting units, which are MphasiS Limited and the remainder of ES. In fiscal 2013, HP made two changes to our reporting units. HP identified MphasiS Limited as a reporting unit apart from the remainder of ES, and in connection with integration activities combined the Autonomy reporting unit with the legacy HP software business reporting unit.
In the first step of the impairment test, HP compares the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount. HP estimates the fair value of its reporting units using a weighting of fair values derived most significantly from the income approach and to a lesser extent the market approach. Under the income approach, HP estimates the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. HP bases cash flow projections on management's estimates of revenue growth rates and operating margins, taking into consideration industry and market conditions. HP bases
HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
the discount rate used on the weighted-average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with business-specific characteristics and the uncertainty related to the reporting unit's ability to execute on the projected cash flows. Under the market approach, HP estimates fair value based on market multiples of revenue and earnings derived from comparable publicly-traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics as the reporting unit. HP weights the fair value derived from the market approach up to 50% of the concluded reporting unit fair value depending on the level of comparability of these publicly-traded companies to the reporting unit. When market comparables are not meaningful or not available, HP estimates the fair value of a reporting unit using only the income approach. For the MphasiS Limited reporting unit, HP used the quoted market price in an active market to estimate fair value.
In order to assess the reasonableness of the estimated fair values of HP's reporting units, HP compares the aggregate reporting unit fair values to HP's market capitalization and calculates an implied control premium (the excess of the sum of the reporting units' fair values over HP's market capitalization). HP evaluates the control premium by comparing it to observable control premiums from recent comparable transactions. If the implied control premium is not believed to be reasonable in light of these recent transactions, HP reevaluates reporting unit fair values, which may result in an adjustment to the discount rate and/or other assumptions. This reevaluation could reduce the estimated fair value for certain or all reporting units.
If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying amount of the net assets assigned to that reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is required. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then HP must perform the second step of the impairment test to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. In the second step, HP measures the reporting unit's assets, including any unrecognized intangible assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests at fair value in a hypothetical analysis to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill for the reporting unit. If the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is less than its carrying amount, the difference is recorded as an impairment loss.
Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets
HP reviews intangible assets with finite lives and long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. HP assesses recoverability of the assets based on the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and the eventual disposition of the asset. If the undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount, the asset is impaired. HP measures the amount of impairment loss, if any, as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value using an income approach or, when available and appropriate, using a market approach. HP amortizes intangible assets with finite lives using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, ranging from one to ten years.
Retirement and Post-Retirement Plans
HP has various defined benefit, other contributory and noncontributory retirement and post-retirement plans. HP generally amortizes unrecognized actuarial gains and losses on a straight-line basis over the average remaining estimated service life of participants. In some cases, HP amortizes

actuarial gains and losses using the corridor approach. See Note 15 for a full description of these plans and the accounting and funding policies.
Taxes on Earnings
HP recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts using enacted tax rates in effect for the year the differences are expected to reverse. HP records a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
HP records accruals for uncertain tax positions when HP believes that it is not more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. HP makes adjustments to these accruals when facts and circumstances change, such as the closing of a tax audit or the refinement of an estimate. The provision for income taxes includes the effects of adjustments for uncertain tax positions, as well as theany related net interest and penalties.

Accounts Receivable
HP establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts for accounts receivable. HP records a specific reserve for individual accounts when HP becomes aware of specific customer circumstances, such as in the case of a bankruptcy filing or deterioration in the customer's operating results or financial position. If there are additional changes in circumstances related to the specific customer, HP further adjusts estimates of the recoverability of receivables. HP maintains bad debt reserves for all other customers based on a variety of factors, including the use of third-party credit risk models that generate quantitative measures of default probabilities based on market factors, the financial condition of customers, the length of time receivables are past due, trends in the weighted-average risk rating for the portfolio, macroeconomic conditions, information derived from competitive benchmarking, significant one-time events and historical experience. The past due or delinquency status of a receivable is based on the contractual payment terms of the receivable.
HP has third-party short-term financing arrangements intended to facilitate the working capital requirements of certain customers. These financing arrangements, which in certain cases provide for partial recourse, result in the transfer of HP's trade receivables to a third party. HP reflects amounts transferred to, but not yet collected from, the third party in accounts receivable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For arrangements involving an element of recourse, the fair value of the recourse obligation is measured using market data from similar transactions and reported as a current liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject HP to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivablereceivables from trade customers and contract manufacturers, financing receivables and derivatives.
HP maintains cash and cash equivalents, investments, derivatives and certain other financial instruments with various financial institutions. These financial institutions are located in many different geographicalgeographic regions, and HP's policy is designed to limit exposure tofrom any oneparticular institution. As part of its risk management processes, HP performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of thethese financial institutions. HP has not sustained material credit losses from instruments held at these financial institutions. HP utilizes derivative contracts to protect against the effects of foreign currency and interest rate exposures. Such contracts involve the risk of non-performance by the counterparty, which could result in a material loss.
HP sells a significant portion of its products through third-party distributors and resellers and, as a result, maintains individually significant receivable balances with these parties. If the financial condition or operations of all of these distributors' and resellers' aggregated accounts deterioratebusiness deteriorates substantially, HP's operating results could be adversely affected. The ten largest distributor and reseller receivable balances, which were concentrated primarily in North America and Europe, collectively represented approximately 21%18% and 14%20% of gross accounts receivable atas of October 31, 20132015 and 2012,2014, respectively. No single customer accounts for more than 10% of gross accounts receivable. Credit risk with respect to other accounts receivable and financing receivables is generally diversified due to the large number of entities comprising HP's customer base and their dispersion across many different industries and geographicalgeographic regions. HP performs ongoing credit evaluations of the financial condition of its third-party distributors,

HP includes the supplier receivables from contract manufacturers in Other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.Sheets on a gross basis. HP's credit risk associated with these receivables is partially mitigated wholly or in part, by the amountsamount HP owes to these outsourced contract manufacturers, as HP generally has the legal right to offset its payables to the outsourcedcontract manufacturers against these receivables. HP does not reflect the sale of these components in revenue and does not recognize any profitsprofit on these component sales until the related products are sold by HP, at which time any profit is recognized as a reduction to cost of sales.
Other Concentration
HP obtains a significant number of components from single source suppliers due to technology, availability, price, quality or other considerations. The loss of a single source supplier, the deterioration of HP's relationship with a single source supplier, or any unilateral modification to the contractual terms under which HP is supplied components by a single source supplier could adversely affect HP's revenue and gross margins.
Inventory
HP values inventory at the lower of cost or market. Cost is computed using standard cost which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. Adjustments to reduce the cost of inventory to its net realizable value are made, if required, for estimated excess or obsolescence.
Property, Plant and Equipment
HP states property, plant and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. HP capitalizes additions and improvements and expenses maintenance and repairs as incurred. Depreciation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives are five to 40 years for buildings and improvements and three to 15 years for machinery and equipment. HP depreciates leasehold improvements over the life of the lease or the asset, whichever is shorter. HP depreciates equipment held for lease over the initial term of the lease to the equipment's estimated residual value. The estimated useful lives of assets used solely to support a customer services contract generally do not exceed the term of the customer contract. On retirement or disposition, the asset cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheets with any gain or loss recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

Business Combinations
HP includes the results of operations of acquired businesses in HP's consolidated results prospectively from the date of acquisition. HP allocates the fair value of purchase consideration to the assets acquired, including in-process research and development ("IPR&D"), liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests in the acquired entity generally based on their fair values at the acquisition date. IPR&D is initially capitalized at fair value as an intangible asset with an indefinite life and assessed for impairment thereafter. When the IPR&D project is complete, it is reclassified as an amortizable purchased intangible asset and is amortized over its estimated useful life. If an IPR&D project is abandoned, HP will record a charge for the value of the related intangible asset to HP's Consolidated Statement of Earnings in the period it is abandoned. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair value of these assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interests in the acquired entity is recorded as goodwill. The primary items that generate goodwill include the value of the synergies between the acquired company and HP and the value of the acquired assembled workforce, neither of which qualifies for recognition as an intangible asset. Acquisition-related expenses and post-acquisition restructuring costs are recognized separately from the business combination and are expensed as incurred.

implied control premium (the excess of the sum of the reporting units' fair value over HP's market capitalization). HP evaluates the control premium by comparing it to observable control premiums from recent comparable transactions. If the implied control premium is not believed to be reasonable in light of these recent transactions, HP reevaluates reporting unit fair values, which may result in an adjustment to the discount rate and/or other assumptions. This reevaluation could result in a change to the estimated fair value for certain or all reporting units.
If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying amount of the net assets assigned to that reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is required. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then HP performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. In the second step, HP measures the reporting unit's assets, including any unrecognized intangible assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests at fair value in a hypothetical analysis to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill for the reporting unit in the same manner as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. If the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is less than its carrying amount, the difference is recorded as an impairment loss.
Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets
HP reviews intangible assets with finite lives and long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. HP assesses the recoverability of assets based on the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If the undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount, the asset is impaired. HP measures the amount of impairment loss, if any, as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value using an income approach or, when available and appropriate, using a market approach. HP amortizes intangible assets with finite lives using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, ranging from one to ten years.
Debt and Marketable Equity Securities Investments
Debt and marketable equity securities are generally considered available-for-sale and are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable taxes, in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Realized gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are calculated based on the specific identification method and included in Interest and other, net in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. HP monitors its investment portfolio for potential impairment on a quarterly basis. When the carrying amount of an investment in debt securities exceeds its fair value and the decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary (i.e., when HP does not intend to sell the debt securities and it is not more likely than not that HP will be required to sell the debt securities prior to anticipated recovery of its amortized cost basis), HP records an impairment charge to Interest and other, net in the amount of the credit loss and the balance, if any, is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Derivatives
HP uses derivative instruments, primarily forwards, swaps, and at times, options, to hedge certain foreign currency and interest rate exposures. HP also may use other derivative instruments not

designated as hedges, such as forwards used to hedge foreign currency balance sheet exposures. HP does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. See Note 12 for a full description of HP's derivative financial instrument activities and related accounting policies.
Loss Contingencies
HP is involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. HP records a liability for contingencies when it believes it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. See Note 1716 for a full description of HP's loss contingencies and related accounting policies.
Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a new accounting standard that will require the presentation of certain unrecognized tax benefits as reductions to deferred tax assets rather than as liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. HP will be required to adopt this new standard on a prospective basis in the first quarter of fiscal 2015; however, early adoption is permitted as is a retrospective application. HP is currently evaluating the timing, transition method and impact of this new standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance which will permit the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes. The guidance also removes the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. The guidance is effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have any effect on HP's Consolidated Financial Statements.
Note 2: Stock-Based CompensationSegment Information
HP is a leading global provider of products, technologies, software, solutions and services to individual consumers, small- and medium-sized businesses ("SMBs") and large enterprises, including customers in the government, health and education sectors. HP's stock-based compensation plansofferings span the following:
HP's operations are organized into seven segments for financial reporting purposes: Personal Systems, Printing, the Enterprise Group ("EG"), Enterprise Services ("ES"), Software, HP Financial Services ("HPFS") and Corporate Investments. HP's organizational structure is based on a number of factors that management uses to evaluate, view and run its business operations, which include, incentive compensation plansbut are not limited to, customer base and an employee stock purchase planhomogeneity of products and technology. The segments are based on this organizational structure and information reviewed by HP's management to evaluate segment results.
The Personal Systems segment and the Printing segment are structured beneath a broader Printing and Personal Systems Group ("ESPP"PPS"). While PPS is not a reportable segment, HP may provide financial data aggregating the Personal Systems and the Printing segments in order to provide a supplementary view of its business.
As a result of the Separation, beginning November 1, 2015, HP will report three segments as part of continuing operations: Personal Systems, Printing and Corporate Investments.
A summary description of each segment follows.

Stock-based awards granted from the principal equity plans include restricted stock awards, stock options and performance-based restricted units ("PRUs"). Employees meeting certain employment qualifications are eligible to receive stock-based awards.
Under the principal equity plans, HP has granted certain employees restricted stock awards, cash-settled awards or both. Restricted stock awards are non-vested stock awards that may include grants of restricted stock or grants of restricted stock units. Restricted stock awards and cash-settled awards are generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the release of the restrictions. Such awards generally vest one to three years from the date of grant. During that period, ownership of the restricted stock cannot be transferred. Restricted stock has the same cash dividend and voting rights as other common stock andscanning devices. Printing is considered to be currently issued and outstanding. Restricted stock units have dividend equivalent rights equal to the cash dividend paidalso focused on restricted stock. Restricted stock units do not have the voting rights of common stock, and the shares underlying the restricted stock units are not considered issued and outstanding. However, shares underlying restricted stock units are includedimaging solutions in the calculationcommercial markets.

The exercise price of a stock option is equal to the fair market value of HP's stock on the option grant date (as determined by the reported sale prices of HP's stock when the market closes on that date). The majority of the stock options issued by HP contain only service vesting conditions. However, starting in fiscal 2011, HP began granting performance-contingent stock options that vest only upon the satisfaction of both servicebusiness units and market conditions prior to the expiration of the awards.capabilities within EG.

Note 3: Net Earnings Per Share
Fiscal 2015 Restructuring Plan
In connection with the Separation, on September 14, 2015, HP's Board of Directors approved a cost saving and investment proposal which includes a restructuring plan (the "2015 Plan") which will be implemented through fiscal 2018. As part of the 2015 Plan, HP calculates basic net EPS using net earningsexpects up to approximately 33,300 employees to exit the company by the end of 2018. These workforce reductions are primarily associated with the ES segment. The changes to the workforce will vary by country, based on local legal requirements and consultations with employee works councils and other employee representatives, as appropriate. HP estimates that it will incur aggregate pre-tax charges through fiscal 2018 of approximately $2.9 billion in connection with the weighted-average number2015 Plan, of shares outstanding duringwhich the reporting period. Diluted net EPS includes any dilutive effectestimated cost for HP Inc. is approximately $280 million. Total estimated charges as a result of restricted stock, stock optionsworkforce reductions are approximately $2.4 billion and PRUs.total estimated charges for real estate consolidation are approximately $506 million.

The reconciliationFiscal 2012 Restructuring Plan
On May 23, 2012, HP adopted a multi-year restructuring plan (the "2012 Plan") designed to simplify business processes, accelerate innovation and deliver better results for customers, employees and stockholders. As of October 31, 2015 HP eliminated 55,800 positions in connection with the numerators and denominators of each of the basic and diluted net EPS calculations were as follows for the following fiscal years ended October 31:

Defined Benefit Plans
HP excludes options with exercise prices thatsponsors a number of defined benefit pension plans worldwide. The most significant defined benefit plans are greater thanin the average market price fromU.S. The HP Pension Plan ("Pension Plan") includes the calculationformer HP Retirement Plan and the former HP Company Cash Account Pension Plan ("Cash Account Pension Plan"). Under the HP Retirement Plan, benefits are based on pay and years of diluted net EPS because their effect would be anti-dilutive. In fiscal 2013, 2012service, and 2011,under the Cash Account Pension Plan, benefits are accrued pursuant to a formula based on a percentage of pay plus interest. The Pension Plan was frozen effective January 1, 2008. The Cash Account Pension Plan was merged into the Pension Plan in 2005 for certain funding and investment purposes. Effective October 30, 2009, the Electronic Data Systems Corporation ("EDS") U.S. qualified pension plan was merged into the Pension Plan. The EDS plan was frozen effective January 1, 2009.
HP excluded fromreduces the calculation of diluted net EPS optionsbenefit payable to purchase 51 million shares, 56 million sharescertain U.S. employees under the Pension Plan for service before 1993, if any, by any amounts due to the employee under HP's frozen defined contribution Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan ("DPSP"). HP closed the DPSP to new participants in 1993. The DPSP obligations are equal to the plan assets and 25 million shares, respectively. In addition,are recognized as an offset to the Pension Plan when HP also excluded from the calculation of diluted net EPS options to purchase an additional 1 million shares in fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, as their combined exercise price, unamortized fair value and excess tax benefits were greater in each of those periods than the average market price for HP's stock.

Post-Retirement Benefit Plans
HP sponsors retiree health and welfare benefit plans, of which the most significant are in the U.S. Under the HP Retiree Welfare Benefits Plan, certain pre-2003 retirees and grandfathered participants with continuous service to HP since 2002 are eligible to receive partially-subsidized medical coverage based on years of service at retirement. Former grandfathered employees of Digital Equipment Corporation also receive partially-subsidized medical benefits that are not service-based. HP's share of the premium cost is capped for all subsidized medical coverage provided under the HP Retiree Welfare Benefits Plan. HP currently leverages the employer group waiver plan process to provide HP Retiree Welfare Benefits Plan post-65 prescription drug coverage under Medicare Part D, thereby giving HP access to federal subsidies to help pay for retiree benefits.
Certain employees not grandfathered under the above programs, as well as employees hired after 2002 but before August 2008, are eligible for credits under the HP Retirement Medical Savings Account Plan ("RMSA") upon attaining age 45. Credits offered after September 2008 are provided in the form of matching credits on employee contributions made to a voluntary employee beneficiary association. Upon retirement, former employees may use these credits for the reimbursement of certain eligible medical expenses, including premiums required for coverage.
Defined Contribution Plans
HP offers various defined contribution plans for U.S. and non-U.S. employees. Total defined contribution expense was $542 million in fiscal 2015, $573 million in fiscal 2014 and $603 million in fiscal 2013.
U.S. employees are automatically enrolled in the HP 401(k) Plan when they meet eligibility requirements, unless they decline participation. The quarterly employer matching contributions in the HP 401(k) Plan are 100% of an employee's contributions, up to a maximum of 4% of eligible compensation.

Lump sum program
In January 2015, HP offered certain terminated vested participants of the U.S. HP Pension Plan the option of receiving their pension benefit in a one-time voluntary lump sum within a specified window. Approximately 50% of the eligible participants elected to receive their benefits and as a result the pension plan trust paid $826 million in lump sum payments to these participants in fiscal 2015. As a result of the lump sum program, HP recognized a settlement expense of approximately $96 million and a remeasurement of the U.S. HP Pension Plan was required. The remeasurement also resulted in an additional net periodic benefit cost of $45 million for fiscal 2015 which was recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings along with the settlement expense.
During fiscal 2015, certain events, primarily the Separation and settlement as a result of the lump sum program, required multiple pension plans to be remeasured during the year. Thus, the assumptions used to calculate the net benefit (credit) cost for the remaining portion of the fiscal year after remeasurement were re-determined based on then current market conditions.
The weighted-average assumptions used to calculate net benefit (credit) cost were as follows:

For the U.S. defined benefit plans, HP adopted a new mortality table in fiscal 2014 to better reflect expected lifetimes of its U.S. plan participants. The table used is based on a historical demographic study of the plans and increased the projected benefit obligation by approximately $870 million for the year ended October 31, 2014. The increase in the projected benefit obligation in fiscal 2014 was recognized as a part of the net actuarial loss as included in the other comprehensive loss which is being amortized over the remaining estimated life of plan participants.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used to measure plan assets at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used during the reporting period.
Investments in publicly-traded equity securities are valued using the closing price on the measurement date as reported on the stock exchange on which the individual securities are traded. For corporate, government and asset-backed debt securities, fair value is based on observable inputs of comparable market transactions. For corporate and government debt securities traded on active exchanges, fair value is based on observable quoted prices. The valuation of alternative investments, such as limited partnerships and joint ventures, may require significant management judgment. For alternative investments, valuation is based on net asset value ("NAV") as reported by the Asset Manager and adjusted for cash flows, if necessary. In making such an assessment, a variety of factors
HP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
Note 4: Retirement and Post-Retirement Benefit Plans (Continued)
are reviewed by management, including, but not limited to, the timeliness of NAV as reported by the asset manager and changes in general economic and market conditions subsequent to the last NAV reported by the asset manager. Depending on the amount of management judgment, the lack of near-term liquidity, and the absence of quoted market prices, these assets are classified in Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Further, depending on how quickly HP can redeem its hedge fund investments, and the extent of any adjustments to NAV, hedge funds are classified in either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Common collective trusts, interests in 103-12 entities and registered investment companies are valued at NAV. The valuation for some of these assets requires judgment due to the absence of quoted market prices, and these assets are generally classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Cash and cash equivalents includes money market funds, which are valued based on NAV. Other assets, including insurance group annuity contracts, were classified in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input (e.g., quoted prices and observable inputs) that is significant to the fair value measure in its entirety.
Plan Asset Allocations
The weighted-average target and actual asset allocations across the benefit plans at the respective measurement dates were as follows:

Investment Policy
HP's investment strategy is to seek a competitive rate of return relative to an appropriate level of risk depending on the funded status of each plan and the timing of expected benefit payments. The majority of the plans' investment managers employ active investment management strategies with the goal of outperforming the broad markets in which they invest. Risk management practices include diversification across asset classes and investment styles and periodic rebalancing toward asset allocation targets. A number of the plans' investment managers are authorized to utilize derivatives for investment or liability exposures, and HP may utilize derivatives to effect asset allocation changes or to hedge certain investment or liability exposures.
The target asset allocation selected for each U.S. plan reflects a risk/return profile HP believes is appropriate relative to each plan's liability structure and return goals. HP conducts periodic asset-liability studies for U.S. plans in order to model various potential asset allocations in comparison to each plan's forecasted liabilities and liquidity needs. HP invests a portion of the U.S. defined benefit
HP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
Note 4: Retirement and Post-Retirement Benefit Plans (Continued)
plan assets and post-retirement benefit plan assets in private market securities such as private equity funds to provide diversification and a higher expected return on assets.
Outside the U.S., asset allocation decisions are typically made by an independent board of trustees for the specific plan. As in the U.S., investment objectives are designed to generate returns that will enable the plan to meet its future obligations. In some countries, local regulations may restrict asset allocations, typically leading to a higher percentage of investment in fixed income securities than would otherwise be deployed. HP reviews the investment strategy and provides a recommended list of investment managers for each country plan, with final decisions on asset allocation and investment managers made by the board of trustees for the specific plan.
Basis for Expected Long-Term Rate of Return on Plan Assets
The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets reflects the expected returns for each major asset class in which the plan invests and the weight of each asset class in the target mix. Expected asset returns reflect the current yield on government bonds, risk premiums for each asset class and expected real returns which considers each country's specific inflation outlook. Because HP's investment policy is to employ primarily active investment managers who seek to outperform the broader market, the expected returns are adjusted to reflect the expected additional returns net of fees.
Future Contributions and Funding Policy
As of October 31, 2015, HP (including Hewlett Packard Enterprise) expects to contribute approximately $384 million to its non-U.S. pension plans and approximately $37 million to cover benefit payments to U.S. non-qualified plan participants and approximately $46 million to cover benefit claims for HP's post-retirement benefit plans in fiscal 2016. Subsequent to the Separation, HP Inc. expects to contribute approximately $18 million to its non-U.S. pension plans, approximately $36 million to cover benefit payments to U.S. non-qualified plan participants and approximately $43 million to cover benefit claims for HP's post-retirement benefit plans in fiscal 2016. 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.
Estimated Future Benefits Payments
As of October 31, 2015, HP Inc. estimates that the future benefits payments for the retirement and post-retirement plans are as follows:

Separation related activities
In advance of the Separation, HP underwent a plan-by-plan analysis in which it was determined if each plan would be assigned to HP Inc. or Hewlett Packard Enterprise. While some pension plans transitioned in their entirety to Hewlett Packard Enterprise or remain in their entirety with HP Inc., other plans were split into two identical plans resulting in both companies splitting the plan's assets and liabilities. As a result of these plan separations, HP Inc. will retain defined benefit plan assets of approximately $11,930 million, of which approximately $11,077 million pertain to the U.S. defined benefit plans. The projected benefit obligation for these defined benefit plans as of October 31, 2015 was $13,792 million, of which $12,709 million pertains to the U.S. defined benefit plans. The net funded status of these plans represents a net obligation which is recognized on HP Inc.'s Consolidated Balance Sheets for approximately $1,862 million of which $1,632 million pertains to the U.S. defined benefit plans. In addition, HP Inc. will retain post-retirement benefit plan assets of approximately $434 million. The projected benefit obligation for these post-retirement benefit plans as of October 31, 2015 was approximately $598 million. The net funded status of these plans represents a net obligation which is recognized on HP Inc.'s Consolidated Balance Sheets for approximately $164 million.
The current Hewlett-Packard Company 401(k) Plan ("HP 401(k) Plan") will remain with HP Inc. A new 401(k) Plan was created for the employees of Hewlett Packard Enterprise and the respective balances were transferred after the Separation.

HP has third-party financing arrangements consisting of revolving short-term financing intended to facilitate the working capital requirements of certain customers. These financing arrangements, which in one case provides for partial recourse, result in a transfer of HP's trade receivables and risk to the third party. As these transfers qualify for sales accounting treatment, the trade receivables are derecognized from the Consolidated Balance Sheets upon transfer, and HP receives a payment for the trade receivables from the third party within a mutually agreed upon time period. For the arrangement involving an element of recourse, the recourse obligation is measured using market data from similar transactions and reported as a current liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The recourse obligations as of October 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012 were not material.
For fiscal 2013 and 2012, trade receivables sold under these facilities were $4.9 billion and $4.3 billion, respectively. The amount of trade receivables sold approximates the amount of cash received. The resulting costs associated with the sales of trade accounts receivable for the year ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 were not material.

In connection with the Separation, the Board of Directors approved amendments to certain outstanding long-term incentive awards on July 29, 2015. The amendments provided for the accelerated vesting on September 17, 2015 of certain stock-based awards that were otherwise scheduled to vest between September 18, 2015 and December 31, 2015. The pre-tax stock-based compensation expense due to the acceleration was approximately $76 million in fiscal year 2015.
Cash received from option exercises and purchases under the Hewlett-Packard Company 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "2011 ESPP") was $0.4 billion in fiscal 2015, $0.3 billion in fiscal 2014 and $0.3 billion in fiscal 2013. The benefit realized for the tax deduction from option exercises in fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $75 million, $51 million and $13 million, respectively.

Depreciation expense was $3.2 billion, $3.3 billionRestricted stock awards are non-vested stock awards that may include grants of restricted stock or restricted stock units. Restricted stock awards and $3.4 billioncash-settled awards are generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the lapse of the restrictions. Such awards generally vest one to three years from the date of grant. During the vesting period, ownership of the restricted stock cannot be transferred. Restricted stock has the same dividend and voting rights as common stock and is considered to be issued and outstanding upon grant. The dividends paid on restricted stock are non-forfeitable. Restricted stock units do not have the voting rights of common stock, and the shares underlying restricted stock units are not considered issued and outstanding upon grant. However, shares underlying restricted stock units are included in the calculation of diluted net EPS. Restricted stock units have forfeitable dividend equivalent rights equal to the dividend paid on common stock. HP expenses the fair value of restricted stock awards ratably over the period during which the restrictions lapse.
Stock options granted under the principal equity plans are generally non-qualified stock options, but the principal equity plans permit some options granted to qualify as incentive stock options under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Stock options generally vest over three to four years from the date of grant. The exercise price of a stock option is equal to the closing price of HP's stock on the option grant date. The majority of stock options issued by HP contain only service vesting conditions. However, starting in fiscal 2013, 20122011, HP began granting performance-contingent stock options that vest only on the satisfaction of both service and 2011, respectively. Formarket conditions prior to the twelve months ended October 31, 2013,expiration of the change in gross property, plant and equipment was due primarily to investments of $3.2 billion, which were partially offset by sales and retirements totaling $3.0 billion.

In connection with the assets soldSeparation and retired was $2.5 billion.in accordance with the Employee Matters Agreement, HP will make certain adjustments to the exercise price and number of share-based compensation awards with the intention of preserving the intrinsic value of the awards prior to the separation. Exercisable and non-exercisable stock options will be converted to similar awards of the entity where the employee is working post-separation. Restricted stock unit awards and performance-contingent awards will be adjusted to provide holders restricted stock units and performance-contingent awards in the company that employs such employee following the separation.

In fiscal 2015, HP assumed approximately 8 million shares of restricted stock units through acquisition with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $33 per share.
The total grant date fair value of restricted stock awards vested in fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $593 million, $234 million and $247 million, respectively, net of taxes. As of October 31, 2015, total unrecognized pre-tax stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock awards was $652 million, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 1.5 years.

HP utilizes the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula to estimate the fair value of stock options subject to service-based vesting conditions. HP estimates the fair value of stock options subject to performance-contingent vesting conditions using a combination of a Monte Carlo simulation model and a lattice model as these awards contain market conditions.

The jurisdictions with favorable tax rates that have the most significant effective tax rate impact in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, created two new reportable segments, the EG segmentperiods presented include Puerto Rico, Singapore, China, Malaysia, Ireland and the ES segment, and eliminated two other reportable segments, the ESSN segment and the Services segment. The EG segment consists of the business units within the former ESSN segment and most of the services offerings of the TS business unit, which was previously a part of the former Services segment. The ES segment consists of the Applications and Business Services ("ABS") and Infrastructure Technology Outsourcing ("ITO") business units from the former Services segment, along with the end-user workplace support services business that was previously part of TS.

In fiscal 2015, HP recorded $1.6 billion of goodwillnet income tax benefits related to items unique to the movementyear. These amounts included $1.8 billion tax benefit due to a release of valuation allowances pertaining to certain U.S. deferred tax assets and $486 million tax charge to record valuation allowances on certain foreign deferred tax assets, both related to legal entities within the TSES business, unit$394 million of tax charges for adjustments to uncertain tax positions and the settlement of tax audit matters, inclusive of $449 million of tax charges related to pension transfers, and $3 million of tax charges for various provision to return adjustments and other adjustments. In addition, HP recorded $639 million of net tax benefits on restructuring, separation-related, and other charges and a tax benefit of $47 million arising from the former Services segmentretroactive research and development credit resulting from the Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014, which was signed into law in December 2014.
In fiscal 2014, HP recorded $53 million of net income tax charges related to items unique to the EG segment. See Note 18year.
In fiscal 2013, HP recorded $471 million of net income tax charges related to items unique to the year. These amounts included $214 million of net increases to valuation allowances, $406 million of tax charges for adjustments to uncertain tax positions and the settlement of tax audit matters and $47 million of tax charges for various prior period adjustments. In addition, HP recorded $146 million of tax benefits from adjustments to prior year foreign income tax accruals and a full descriptiontax benefit of $50 million arising from the segment realignments.retroactive research and development credit resulting from the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which was signed into law in January 2013.
Based on the resultsAs a result of its annual impairment tests,certain employment actions and capital investments HP determined that no impairment of goodwill existed as of August 1, 2013. However, future goodwill impairment tests could resulthas undertaken, income from manufacturing and services in a chargecertain countries is subject to earnings. HP will continue to evaluate goodwill on an annual basis as of the beginning of its fourth fiscal quarter and whenever events and changes in circumstances indicate that there may be a potential impairment.
During fiscal 2012, HP determined that sufficient indicators of potential impairment existed to require an interim goodwill impairment analysis for the ES reporting unit. These indicators included the trading values of HP's stock at the time of the impairment test, coupled with market conditions and business trends within ES. The fair value of the ES reporting unit was based on the income approach. The decline in the fair value of the ES reporting unit resulted from lower projected revenue growthreduced tax rates, and profitability levels as well as an increase in the risk factor that was included in the discount rate usedsome cases is wholly exempt from taxes, through 2026. The gross income tax benefits attributable to calculate the discounted cash flows. The increase in the discount rate was duethese actions and investments were estimated to the implied control premium resulting from trading values of HP stock at the time of the impairment test. The resulting adjustments to discount rates caused a significant reduction in the fair value for the ES reporting unit. Based on the step one and step two analyses, HP recorded an $8.0 billion goodwill impairment chargebe $581 million ($0.32 diluted net EPS) in fiscal 2012, and there was no remaining goodwillyear 2015, $1.2 billion ($0.61 diluted net EPS) in the ES reporting unit asfiscal 2014, $827 million ($0.42 diluted net EPS) in fiscal year 2013. The gross income tax benefits were offset partially by accruals of October 31, 2012. Prior to completing the goodwill impairment test, HP tested the recoverability of the ES long-lived assets (other than goodwill) and concluded that such assets were not impaired.
Also during fiscal 2012, the Software segment included two reporting units, which were Autonomy and the legacy HP Software business. HP initiated its annual goodwill impairment analysis in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 and concluded that fair value was below carrying amount for the Autonomy reporting unit. The fair value of the Autonomy reporting unit was basedU.S. income taxes on the income approach.
The decline in the estimated fair value of the Autonomy reporting unit resulted from lower projected revenue growth rates and profitability levels as well as an increase in the risk factor that was included in the discount rate used to calculate the discounted cash flows. The increase in the discount rate was due to the implied control premium that resulted from trading values of HP stock at the time of the impairment test. The lower projected operating results reflected changes in assumptions related to organic revenue growth rates, market trends, business mix, cost structure, expected deal synergies andundistributed earnings, among other expectations about the anticipated short-term and long-term operating results of the Autonomy business. These assumptions incorporated HP's analysis of what it believes were accounting improprieties, incomplete disclosures and misrepresentations at Autonomy that occurred prior to the Autonomy acquisition with respect to Autonomy's pre-acquisition business and related operating results. In addition, as noted above, when estimating the fair value of a reporting unit HP may need to adjust discount rates and/or other assumptions in order to derive a reasonable implied control premium when comparing the sum of the fair values of HP's reporting units to HP's market capitalization. Due to the trading values of HP stock at the time of the impairment test, the resulting adjustments to the discount rate to arrive at an appropriate control premium caused a significant reduction in the fair value for the Autonomy reporting unit as well as the fair values for HP's other reporting units.factors.

Up to conducting step one$3.0 billion, $2.2 billion and $1.9 billion of HP's unrecognized tax benefits at October 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, would affect HP's effective tax rate if realized. The $5.8 billion increase in the goodwill impairment testamount of unrecognized tax benefits for the Autonomy reporting unit, HP first evaluated the recoverability of the long-lived assets, including intangible assets. When indicators of impairment are present, HP tests long-lived assets (other than goodwill) for recoverability by comparing the carrying amount of an asset group to its undiscounted cash flows. HP considered the lower-than-expected revenue and profitability levels over a sustained period of time, the trading values of HP stock and downward revisions to management's short-term and long-term forecast for the Autonomy business to be indicators of impairment for the Autonomy long-lived assets. Based on the results of the recoverability test, HP determined that the carrying amount of the Autonomy asset group exceeded its undiscounted cash flows and was therefore not recoverable. HP then compared the fair value of the asset group to its carrying amount and determined the impairment loss. The impairment loss was allocatedyear ended October 31, 2015 primarily relates to the carrying valuestiming of the long-lived assets butintercompany royalty income recognition which does not below their individual fair values.

HP recognizes interest income from favorable settlements and interest expense and penalties accrued on the analysis, HP recorded an impairment charge of $3.1 billion on intangible assets, which resultedunrecognized tax benefits in a remaining carrying amount of approximately $0.8 billion as of October 31, 2012. The decline in the fair value of the Autonomy intangible assets was attributable to the same factors as discussed aboveProvision for the fair value of the Autonomy reporting unit.
The decline in the fair value of the Autonomy reporting unit and Autonomy intangibles, as well as fair value changes for other assets and liabilities in the step two goodwill impairment test, resulted in an implied fair value of goodwill substantially below the carrying amount of the goodwill for the Autonomy reporting unit. As a result, HP recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $5.7 billion, which resulted in a $1.2 billion remaining carrying amount of Autonomy goodwill as of October 31, 2012. Both the goodwill impairment charge and the intangible assets impairment charge, totaling $8.8 billion, were included in the Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets line itemtaxes in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. HP had accrued $357 million and $254 million for interest and penalties as of October 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Subsequent toHP engages in continuous discussion and negotiation with taxing authorities regarding tax matters in various jurisdictions. HP does not expect complete resolution of any U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") audit cycle within the Autonomy purchase price allocation period, whichnext 12 months. However, it is reasonably possible that certain federal, foreign and state tax issues may be concluded in the first quarternext 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 $144 million within the next 12 months.
HP is subject to income tax in the U.S. and approximately 105 other countries and is subject to routine corporate income tax audits in many of fiscal 2012,these jurisdictions. In addition, HP is subject to numerous ongoing audits by federal, state and in conjunction with HP's annual goodwill impairment testing, HP identified certain indicators of impairment.foreign tax authorities. The indicators of impairment included lower-than-expected revenue and profitability levels over a sustained period of time, the trading values of HP stock and downward revisions to management's short-term and long-term forecast for the Autonomy business. HP revised its multi-year forecast for the Autonomy business, and the timing of this forecast revision coincided with the timingIRS is conducting an audit of HP's overall forecasting process2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 income tax returns.

The proposed IRS adjustments for these tax years would, if sustained, reduce the fourthbenefits of tax refund claims HP has filed for net operating loss carrybacks to earlier fiscal quarter in conjunction withyears and tax credit carryforwards to subsequent years by approximately $445 million. In addition, HP expects the annual goodwill impairment analysis. The change in assumptions used inIRS to issue an RAR for 2009 through 2011 relating to certain tax positions taken on the revised forecast and the fair value estimates utilized in the impairment testing of the Autonomy goodwill and long-lived assets incorporated insights gained from having owned the Autonomy business for the preceding year. The revised forecast reflected changesfiled tax returns, including matters related to organic revenue growth rates, current market trends, business mix, cost structure, expected deal synergies and other expectations about the anticipated short-term and long-term operating resultsU.S. taxation of certain intercompany loans.

Accordingly, the changeRAR may be material in fair values represented a change in accounting estimate that occurred outside the purchase price allocation period, resulting in the recorded impairment charge.

For fiscal 2013,2008 and the majorityperiod ending October 31, 2009 proposing a total tax deficiency of the decrease in gross intangibles was related to $1.7 billion$62 million. HP is contesting certain of fully amortized intangible assets that have been eliminated from both the gross and accumulated amounts.these issues.
In fiscal 2012,With respect to major state and foreign tax jurisdictions, HP recorded total intangible asset impairment charges of $4.3 billion, of which $3.1 billion was relatedis no longer subject to the Autonomy reporting unit as described above. The remaining $1.2 billion was relatedtax authority examinations for years prior to 1999. HP is subject to a changeforeign tax audit concerning an intercompany transaction for fiscal 2009. The relevant taxing authority has proposed an assessment of approximately $733 million. HP is contesting this proposed assessment.
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 Compaq branding strategy. In May 2012,likely outcomes of these audits in order to determine the appropriateness of HP's tax provision. HP approved a changeadjusts its uncertain tax positions to its branding strategy for personal computers, which has resulted in a more limitedreflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and focused use of the "Compaq" trade name acquired in fiscal 2002. In conjunction with the change in branding strategy, HP revised its assumption as to the useful life of that intangible asset, which resulted in a reclassification of the asset from an indefinite-lived intangibleother information and events pertaining to a finite-lived intangible. These changes triggered an impairment reviewparticular audit. However, income tax audits are inherently unpredictable and there can be no assurance that HP will accurately predict the outcome of the "Compaq" trade name intangible asset. In conducting an impairment reviewthese audits. The amounts ultimately paid on resolution of an intangible asset, HP compares the fair value of the asset to its carrying amount. If the fair value of the asset is less than the carrying amount, the difference is recorded as an impairment loss. HP estimated the fair value of the "Compaq" trade name by calculating the present value of the royalties saved that would have been paid to a third party had HP not owned the trade name. Following the completion of that analysis, HP determined that the fair value of the trade name asset was less than the carrying amount due primarily to the change in the useful life assumption and a decrease in expected future revenues related to Compaq-branded products resultingaudit could be materially different from the more focused branding strategy. As a result, HP recorded an impairment charge of $1.2 billion in the third quarter of fiscal 2012, which wasamounts previously included in the ImpairmentProvision for taxes and therefore the resolution of goodwillone or more of these uncertainties in any particular period could have a material impact on net income or cash flows.

Fiscal 2012 Restructuring Plan
On May 23, 2012, HP adopted a multi-year restructuring plan (the "2012 Plan") designed to simplify business processes, accelerate innovation and deliver better results for customers, employees and stockholders. As of July 31, 2013, HP estimated that it would eliminate approximately 29,000 positions in connection with the 2012 Plan through fiscal year 2014, with a portion of those employees exiting the company as part of voluntary enhanced early retirement ("EER") programs in the United States and in certain other countries. The majority of the U.S. EER program was funded through the HP Pension Plan. As of that same date, HP estimated it would recognize approximately $3.6 billion of total costs in connection with the 2012 Plan. HP also estimated that the number of positions ultimately eliminated and the total expense of the 2012 Plan could vary by as much as 15% from these estimates. Due to continued market and business pressures, as of October 31, 2013, HP expects to eliminate an additional 15% of those 29,000 positions, or a total of approximately 34,000 positions, and to record an additional 15% of that $3.6 billion in total costs, or approximately $4.1 billion in aggregate charges. HP expects to record these charges through the end of HP's 2014 fiscal year as the accounting recognitionlocal

Separation costs are expenses associated with HP's plan to workforce reductions, including the EER programs, and approximately $0.6 billion to relate to infrastructure, including data center and real estate consolidation, and other items.separate into two independent publicly-traded companies. HP recorded a chargedeferred tax asset on these costs and expenses as they were incurred through fiscal 2015. HP expects a portion of approximately $1.2 billionthese deferred tax assets associated with separation costs and expenses will be non-deductible expenses, at the time the Separation is executed. Furthermore, HP has also concluded on the legal form of the Separation and in May 2015 announced that Hewlett Packard Enterprise will be the spinnee in the U.S. Accordingly, during the second half of fiscal 2013 relating2015, HP implemented certain internal reorganizations of, and transactions among, its wholly owned subsidiaries and operating activities in preparation for the legal form of Separation. As a result, HP recorded adjustments to certain deferred and prepaid tax assets as well as income tax liabilities reflecting the 2012 Plan,impact of which $141 millionseparation related to data center and real estate consolidations.activities.
As of October 31, 2013,2015, HP had eliminated approximately 24,600 positions for which a severance payment has been or will be made as part$971 million, $6.1 billion and $26.8 billion of the 2012 Plan. The cash payments associated with the 2012 Plan are expectedfederal, state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards, respectively.

Fiscal 2010 Enterprise Services Business Restructuring Plan
On June 1, 2010, HP's management announced a plan to restructure its enterprise services business, which included the ITO and ABS business units. The multi-year restructuring program included plans to consolidate commercial data centers, tools and applications. The total expected cost of the plan is approximately $803 million, which includes severance costs to eliminate approximately 8,200 positions and infrastructure charges. As of October 31, 2012 all 8,200 positions under the plan had been eliminated. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, HP reversed $189 million of the restructuring accrual to reflect an updated estimate of expected cash payments for severance. The majority of the infrastructure charges were paid out during fiscal 2012 with the remaining charges expected to be paid out through the first half of fiscal 2015. This plan is now closed with no further restructuring charges anticipated. HP expects the majority of the remaining severance for the plan to be paid out through fiscal 2014.
Fiscal 2008 HP/EDS Restructuring Plan
In connection with the acquisition of Electronic Data Systems Corporation ("EDS") in August 2008, HP's management approved and initiated a restructuring plan to combine and align HP's services businesses, eliminate duplicative overhead functions and consolidate and vacate duplicative facilities. The restructuring plan is expected to be implemented at a total expected cost of $3.3 billion.
The restructuring plan included severance costs related to eliminating approximately 25,000 positions. As of October 31, 2011, all actions had occurred and the associated severance costs had been paid out. The infrastructure charges in the restructuring plan included facility closure and consolidation costs and the costs associated with early termination of certain related contractual obligations. HP has recorded the majority of these costs based on the anticipated execution of site closure and consolidation plans. The associated cash payments are expected to be paid out through fiscal 2016.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
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
Valuation techniques used by HP are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable or market inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect HP's assumptions about market participant assumptions based on the best information available. 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 in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
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.

Valuation TechniquesTax Matters Agreement and Other Income Tax Matters
Cash EquivalentsIn 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 Investments: HP holds time deposits, money market funds, mutual funds, other debt securities primarily consistingobligations 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 instruments were based on quoted market prices or model driven valuations using inputs primarily derived from or corroborated by observable market data, and in certain instances internally developed valuation models that utilize assumptions which cannot be corroborated with observable market data.
Derivative Instruments: As discussed in Note 9, HP mainly holds non-speculative forwards, swaps and options to hedge certain foreign currency and interest rate exposures. When prices in active markets are not available for the identical asset or liability, 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 exchange rates,Hewlett Packard Enterprise for certain pre-Separation tax liabilities. The Tax Matters Agreement provides that HP and forwardHewlett Packard Enterprise will share certain pre-Separation income tax liabilities that arise from adjustments made by tax authorities to HP and spot pricesHewlett 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 currencies.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 a net payable to Hewlett Packard Enterprise of $390 million for certain tax liabilities that Hewlett Packard Enterprise is joint and severally liable for, but for which it is indemnified by HP under the Tax Matters Agreement. The actual amount that HP may be obligated to pay could vary depending upon the outcome of certain unresolved tax matters, which may not be resolved for several years.

Note 8: Fair Value (Continued)
Other Fair Value Disclosures
Short- and Long-Term Debt: HP calculates the estimated fair value of its debt primarily using an expected present value technique which is based upon observable market inputs using interest rates currently available to companies of similar credit standing for similar terms and remaining maturities and considers HP's own credit risk. The portion of HP's fixed-rate debt obligations that is hedged is reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as an amount equal to the debt's carrying amount, which includes 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 approximately $22.7 billion at October 31, 2013, compared to its carrying value of $22.6 billion at that date. The estimated fair value of HP's short- and long-term debt approximated its carrying value of $28.4 billion at October 31, 2012. If measured at fair value in the Consolidated 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 in other accrued liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities. If measured at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, these other financial instruments would be classified in 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 intangible assets, goodwill and property, plant and equipment, are recorded at fair value only if an impairment charge is recognized. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012, HP recognized a goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge of $8.8 billion associated with the Autonomy reporting unit within the Software segment, a goodwill impairment charge of $8.0 billion associated with the ES reporting unit within the Services segment and an intangible asset impairment charge of $1.2 billion associated with the "Compaq" trade name within the Personal Systems segment.
The fair value of HP's reporting units was classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the significance of unobservable inputs developed using company-specific information. HP used the income approach to measure the fair value of the ES and Autonomy reporting units. Under the income approach, HP calculated the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows. Cash flow projections were based on management's estimates of revenue growth rates and operating margins, taking into consideration industry and market conditions. The discount rate used was based on the weighted-average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with business-specific characteristics and the uncertainty related to the business's ability to execute on the projected cash flows. The discount rate also reflected adjustments required when comparing the sum of the fair values of HP's reporting units to HP's market capitalization as discussed in Note 6. The unobservable inputs used to estimate the fair value these reporting units included projected revenue growth rates, profitability and the risk factor added to the discount rate.
The inputs used to estimate the fair value of the intangible assets of Autonomy and the "Compaq" trade name were largely unobservable, and, accordingly, these measurements were classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the intangible assets for Autonomy were estimated using an income approach, which is based on management's cash flow projections of revenue growth rates and operating margins, taking into consideration industry and market conditions. HP estimated the fair value of the "Compaq" trade name by calculating the present value of the royalties saved that would have been paid to a third party had HP not owned the trade name. The discount rates used in the fair
HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

Note 8: Fair Value (Continued)
value calculations for the Autonomy intangibles and the "Compaq" trade name were based on a weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with those assets. The unobservable inputs used in these valuations include projected revenue growth rates, operating margins, royalty rates and the risk factor added to the discount rate. The discount rates ranged from 11% to 16%. Projected revenue growth rates ranged from (61)% to 13%. The (61)% rate reflected the significant decline in expected future revenues for Compaq-branded products from fiscal 2013 to fiscal 2014 due to the change in branding strategy discussed in Note 6.

The activity related to cash and cash equivalentsHP's revolving short-term financing arrangements was approximately $148 million in fiscal 2013, $155 million in fiscal 2012 and $167 million in fiscal 2011. Time deposits were primarily issued by institutions outside the United States as of October 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012. The estimated fair values of the available-for-sale investments may not be representative of actual values that will be realized in the future.
The gross unrealized loss as of October 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012 was due primarily to decline in the fair value of a debt security of $15 million and $17 million, respectively, that has been in a continuous loss position for more than twelve months. HP does not intend to sell this debt security, and it is not likely that HP will be required to sell this debt security prior to the recovery of the amortized cost.

Derivative Financial InstrumentsInventory
HP is a global company exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and interest rate changes in the normal course of its business. As part of its risk management strategy, HP uses derivative instruments, primarily forward contracts, option contracts, interest rate swaps, and total return swaps, to hedge certain foreign currency, interest rate and, to a lesser extent, equity exposures. HP's objective is to offset gains and losses resulting from these exposures with losses and gains on the derivative contracts used to hedge them, thereby reducing volatility of earnings or protecting fair values of assets and liabilities. HP does not have any leveraged derivatives and does not use derivative contracts for speculative purposes. HP designates its derivatives as fair value hedges, cash flow hedges or hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation ("net investment hedges"). Additionally, for derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, HP categorizes those economic hedges as other derivatives. HP recognizes all derivatives, on a gross basis, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. HP classifies cash flows from the derivative programs as operating activities in the Consolidated 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. To mitigate this counterparty credit risk, HP has a policy of only entering into contracts with carefully selected major financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and other factors, and HP maintains dollar risk limits that correspond to each institution's credit rating and other factors. HP's established policies and procedures for mitigating credit risk include reviewing and establishing limits for credit exposure and periodically re-assessing the

Depreciation expense was $3.1 billion, $3.3 billion and $3.2 billion in fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The change in gross property, plant and equipment was due primarily to purchases of counterparties. Master agreements with counterparties include master netting arrangements as further mitigation$3.7 billion, which were partially offset by sales and retirements totaling $2.9 billion and unfavorable currency impacts of credit exposure to counterparties. These arrangements permit HP to net amounts due from HP to a counterparty with amounts due to HP from the same counterparty. HP does not offset the fair value of its derivative instruments against the fair value of cash collateral receivable or payable under its master netting arrangements.
To further mitigate credit exposure to counterparties, HP has collateral security arrangements that cover the vast majority of its counterparty risk. These arrangements require HP to post collateral or to hold collateral from counterparties when 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 on the derivatives' net liability position. Such funds are generally transferred within two business days of the due date. As of October 31, 2013, HP held $30 million of collateral and posted $283 million under these collateralized arrangements, of which $30 million was through re-use of counterparty cash collateral and $253 million was in cash. As of October 31, 2012, HP held $198 million of collateral and posted $72 million under these collateralized arrangements, of which $49 million was through re-use of counterparty cash collateral and $23 million in cash.
Further, under HP's agreements with its counterparties, 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 as of October 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012.
Fair Value Hedges
HP enters into fair value hedges to reduce the exposure of its debt portfolio to interest rate risk. HP issues long-term debt in U.S. dollars based on market conditions at the time of financing. HP uses interest rate swaps to mitigate the market risk exposures in connection$0.5 billion. Accumulated depreciation associated with the debt to achieve a primarily U.S. dollar LIBOR-based floating interest expense. The swap transactions generally involve principalassets sold and interest obligations for U.S. dollar-denominated amounts. Alternatively, HP may choose not to swap fixed for floating interest payments or may terminate a previously executed swap if it believes a larger proportion of fixed-rate debt would be beneficial.
When investingretired in fixed-rate instruments, HP may enter into interest rate swaps that convert the fixed interest payments into variable interest payments and would classify these swaps as fair value hedges.fiscal 2015 was $2.5 billion.
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, HP recognizes the gain or loss on the derivative instrument, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item, in Interest and other, net in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings in the period of change.
Cash Flow HedgesLong-Term Financing Receivables and Other Assets
HP uses a combination of forward contracts and options 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, certain leasing revenue-related forward contracts and intercompany loan forward contracts extend for the duration of the lease or loan term, which can be up to five years.

Note 9: Financial Instruments7: Balance Sheet Details (Continued)
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, HP initially records the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument in Accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of stockholders' equity in the Consolidated 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 cash flow hedges in the same financial statement line item as the changes in value of the hedged item. During fiscal 2013 and 2012 there was no significant impact to results of operations as a result of discontinued cash flow hedges. During fiscal 2011, HP did not discontinue any cash flow hedge for which it was probable that a forecasted transaction would not occur.
Net Investment Hedges
HP uses forward contracts designated as net investment hedges to hedge net investments in certain foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is the local currency. These derivative instruments are designated as net investment hedges and, as such, HP records the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument together with changes in the hedged items in Cumulative translation adjustment as a separate component of stockholders' equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Other DerivativesAccrued Liabilities
Other derivatives not designated as hedging instruments consist primarily of forward contracts HP uses to hedge foreign currency balance sheet exposures. HP also uses total return swaps and, to a lesser extent, interest rate swaps, based on the equity and fixed income indices, to hedge its executive deferred compensation plan liability.
For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, HP recognizes changes in the fair values in earnings in the period of change. HP recognizes the gain or loss on foreign currency forward contracts used to hedge balance sheet exposures in Interest and other, net in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings in the same period as the remeasurement gain and loss of the related foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. HP recognizes the gain or loss on the total return swaps and interest rate swaps in Interest and other, net in the same period as the gain or loss from the change in market value of the executive deferred compensation plan liability.
Hedge Effectiveness
For interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges, HP measures effectiveness by offsetting the change in fair value of the hedged instrument with the change in fair value of the derivative. For foreign currency options and forward contracts designated as cash flow or net investment hedges, HP measures effectiveness by comparing the cumulative change in the hedge contract with the cumulative change in the hedged item, both of which are based on forward rates. HP recognizes any ineffective portion of the hedge, as well as amounts not included in the assessment of effectiveness, in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

Credit Quality Indicators
Due to the homogenous nature of its leasing transactions, HP manages its financing receivables on an aggregate basis when assessing and monitoring credit risk. Credit risk is generally diversified due to the large number of entities comprising HP's customer base and their dispersion across many different industries and geographicalgeographic regions. HP evaluates the credit quality of an obligor at lease inception and monitors that credit quality over the term of a transaction. HP assigns risk ratings to each lease based on the creditworthiness of the obligor and other variables that augment or mitigate the inherent credit risk of a particular transaction. Such variables include the underlying value and liquidity of the collateral, the essential use of the equipment, the term of the lease, and the inclusion of credit enhancements, such as guarantees, letters of credit or security depositsdeposits. HP classifies accounts as high risk when it considers the financing receivable to be impaired or other credit enhancements.when management believes there is a significant near-term risk of impairment.

Accounts rated low risk typically have the equivalent of a Standard & Poor's rating of BBB- or higher, while accounts rated moderate risk generally have the equivalent of BB+ or lower. HP classifies accounts as high risk when it considers the financing receivable to be impaired or when management believes that there is a near-term risk of impairment.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for Financing Receivables
The allowance for doubtful accounts for financing receivables is comprised of a general reserve and a specific reserve. HP maintains general reserve percentages on a regional basis and bases such percentages on several factors, including consideration of historical credit losses and portfolio delinquencies, trends in the overall weighted-average risk rating of the portfolio, current economic conditions and information derived from competitive benchmarking. HP excludes accounts evaluated as part of the specific reserve from the general reserve analysis. HP establishes a specific reserve for leasesfinancing receivables with identified exposures, such as customer defaults, bankruptcy or other events, that make it unlikely that HP will recover its investment in the lease.investment. For individually evaluated receivables, HP determines the expected cash flow

for the receivable, which includes consideration of estimated proceeds from disposition of the collateral, and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts where a loss is considered probable, HP records a specific reserve. HP generally writes off a receivable or records a write-off or specific reserve when an account reachesa receivable becomes 180 days past due, or sooner if HP determines that the accountreceivable is not collectible.

Non-Accrual and Past-duePast-Due Financing Receivables
HP considers a financing receivable to be past due when the minimum payment is not received by the contractually specified due date. HP generally places financing receivables on non-accrual status, (suspensionwhich is suspension of interest accrual)accrual, and considers such receivables to be non-performing at the earlier of the time at which full payment of principal and interest becomes doubtful or the receivable becomes contractually 90 days past due. Subsequently, HP may recognize revenue on non-accrual financing receivables as payments are received, (i.e.,which is on a cash basis)basis, if HP deems the recorded financing receivable to be fully collectible; however, if there is doubt regarding the ultimate collectability of the recorded financing receivable, HP applies all cash receipts are applied to reduce the carrying amount of the financing receivable, (i.e.,which is the cost recovery method).method. In certain circumstances, such as when HP deems a delinquency to be of an administrative nature, financing receivables may accrue interest after they reachbecoming 90 days past due. The non-accrual status of a financing receivable may not impact a customer's risk rating. After all of a customer's delinquent principal and interest balances are settled, HP may return the related financing receivable to accrual status.

GuaranteesAcquisitions
In fiscal 2015, HP completed five acquisitions. The purchase price allocation for these acquisitions as set forth in the ordinary coursetable below reflects various preliminary fair value estimates and analyses, including preliminary work performed by third-party valuation specialists, which are subject to change within the measurement period as valuations are finalized. The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the fair values of certain tangible assets and liabilities acquired, the valuation of intangible assets acquired, certain legal matters, income and non-income based taxes, and residual goodwill. HP expects to continue to obtain information to assist it in determining the fair value of the net assets acquired at the acquisition date during the measurement period. Measurement period adjustments that HP determines to be material will be applied retrospectively to the period of acquisition in HP's Consolidated Financial Statements and, depending on the nature of the adjustments, other periods subsequent to the period of acquisition could also be affected.
Pro forma results of operations for these acquisitions have not been presented because they are not material to HP's consolidated results of operations, either individually or in the aggregate. Goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and intangible assets acquired, is not deductible for tax purposes.
The following table presents the aggregate purchase price allocation, including those items that are still preliminary allocations, for HP's acquisitions in fiscal 2015:

In fiscal 2015, HP recorded approximately $2.0 billion of goodwill related to acquisitions based on its preliminary fair value estimates of the assets acquired. Goodwill adjustments primarily relate to the allocation of goodwill to the LiveVault, Snapfish and iManage businesses, which were sold during the period.
Goodwill Impairments
Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. As of October 31, 2015, our reporting units are consistent with the reportable segments identified in Note 2, except for ES, which includes two reporting units: MphasiS Limited; and the remainder of ES. Based on the results of its annual impairment tests, HP determined that no impairment of goodwill existed as of August 1, 2015. There were no goodwill impairments in fiscal 2014 and 2013.

Note 10: Goodwill and Intangible Assets (Continued)
However, future goodwill impairment tests could result in a charge to net earnings. HP will continue to evaluate goodwill on an annual basis as of the beginning of its fourth fiscal quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate there may be a potential impairment.

In fiscal 2015, the decrease in gross intangible assets was due primarily to $936 million of intangible assets that became fully amortized, partially offset by intangible assets and IPR&D resulting from HP's acquisitions, primarily the acquisition of Aruba. Fully amortized intangible assets have been eliminated from gross intangible assets and accumulated amortization during the period.
In fiscal 2014, $855 million of intangible assets became fully amortized and have been eliminated from gross intangible assets and accumulated amortization. HP also eliminated gross intangible assets and accumulated amortization related to the sale of a portfolio of intellectual property ("IP") in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

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.

triggering event occurs as defined by the guarantee. HP believes the likelihood of having to perform under a material guarantee is remote.
HP has entered into service contracts with certain of its clients The following table presents HP's assets and liabilities that are supported by financing arrangements. Ifmeasured at fair value on a service contract is terminated as a result of HP's non-performance under the contract or failure to comply with the terms of the financing arrangement, HP could, under certain circumstances, be required to acquire certain assets related to the service contract. HP believes the likelihood of it being required to acquire a material amount of assets under these arrangements is remote.
Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business, HP enters into contractual arrangements under which HP may agree to indemnify the 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 against claims of intellectual property infringement made by third parties arising from the vendor's use of HP's software products and certain other matters. Such indemnification obligations may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. Historically, payments made related to these indemnifications have been immaterial.
Warranty
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, ongoing product failure rates, as well as specific product class failures outside of HP's baseline experience, affect the estimated warranty obligation.
The changes in HP's aggregate product warranty liabilities were as follows for the following fiscal years ended October 31:recurring basis:

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 NAV, 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: 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 12 for a further discussion of HP's use of derivative instruments.

As disclosed in Note 9, HP uses interest rate swaps to mitigate interest rate risk in connection with certain fixed-rate global notes in order to achieve primarily U.S. dollar LIBOR-based floating interest expense. The interest rates$19.5 billion at that date. If measured at fair value in the table above have not been adjustedConsolidated 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 reflecttheir short maturities. If measured at fair value in the impactConsolidated Balance Sheets, these other financial instruments would be classified in Level 2 or Level 3 of any interest rate swaps.the fair value hierarchy.
Non-Marketable Equity Investments and Non-Financial Assets: Elements within 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 Balance Sheets, these would generally be classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In fiscal 2015, HP determined that it would exit certain data centers. HP conducted an analysis of the respective asset group to determine if the carrying value is greater than the fair value. As a result of this assessment, HP recorded a $136 million impairment charge to Impairment of data center assets on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

HP may redeem some or all of the fixed-rate U.S. Dollar Global Notes set forth in the above table at any time in accordance with the terms thereof. The U.S. Dollar Global Notes are senior unsecured debt.
In May 2012, HP filed a shelf registration statement (the "2012 Shelf Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to enable the company to offer for sale, from time to time, in one or more offerings, an unspecified amount of debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares and warrants. The 2012 Shelf Registration Statement replaced the registration statement filed in May 2009.
HP's Board of Directors has authorized the issuance of up to $16.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of commercial paper by HP. HP's subsidiaries are authorized to issue up to an additional $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of commercial paper. HP maintains two commercial paper programs, and a wholly owned subsidiary maintains a third program. HP's U.S. program provides for the issuance of U.S. dollar-denominated commercial paper up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $16.0 billion. HP's euro commercial paper program, which was established in September 2012, provides for the issuance of commercial paper outside of the United States denominated in U.S. dollars, euros or British pounds up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $3.0 billion or the equivalent in those alternative currencies. The combined aggregate principal amount of commercial paper outstanding under those programs at any one time cannot exceed the $16.0 billion authorized by HP's Board of Directors. The HP subsidiary's Euro Commercial Paper/Certificate of Deposit Programme provides for the issuance of commercial paper in various currencies up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $500 million.
HP maintains senior unsecured committed credit facilities primarily to support the issuance of commercial paper. HP has a $3.0 billion five-year credit facility that expires in March 2017 and a $4.5 billion four-year credit facility that expires in February 2015. Both facilities support the U.S. commercial paper program and the euro commercial paper program. In addition, the five-year credit facility was amended in September 2012 to permit borrowings in euros and British pounds, with the amounts available in euros and pounds being limited to the U.S. dollar equivalent of $2.2 billion and $300 million, respectively. Commitment fees, interest rates and other terms of borrowing under the credit facilities vary based on HP's external credit ratings. HP's ability to have an outstanding U.S. commercial paper balance that exceeds the $7.5 billion supported by these credit facilities is subject to a number of factors, including liquidity conditions and business performance.
Within Other, including capital lease obligations, are borrowings that are collateralized by certain financing receivable assets. As of October 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012, the carrying value of the assets approximated the carrying amount of the borrowings of $244 million and $225 million, respectively.
As of October 31, 2013, HP had the capacity to issue an unspecified amount of additional debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares and warrants under the 2012 Shelf Registration Statement. As of that date, HP also had up to $17.8 billion of available borrowing resources, including $16.2 billion in available capacity under its commercial paper programs and $1.6 billion relating to uncommitted lines of credit. The extent to which HP is able to utilize the 2012 Shelf Registration Statement and the commercial paper programs as sources of liquidity at any given time is subject to a number of factors, including market demand for HP securities and commercial paper, HP's financial performance, HP's credit ratings and market conditions generally.

There was no net excess tax benefit recorded as a result of the exercise of employee stock options and other employee stock programs in fiscal 2013. Deficits of approximately $149 million and $175 million were recorded as a decrease in stockholders' equity in fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively, and excess tax benefits of $128 million were recorded in fiscal 2011.

The jurisdictions with favorable tax rates that have the most significant effective tax rate impact in the periods presented include China, Ireland, the Netherlands, Puerto Rico and Singapore. HP plans to reinvest some of the earnings of these jurisdictions indefinitely outside the United States, and therefore has not provided U.S. taxes on those indefinitely reinvested earnings.
In fiscal 2013, HP recorded $471 million of net income tax charges related to items unique to the year. These amounts included $214 million of net increases to valuation allowances, $406 million of tax charges for adjustments to uncertain tax positions and the settlement of tax audit matters and $47 million of tax charges for various prior period adjustments. In addition, HP recorded $146 million of tax benefits from adjustments to prior year foreign income tax accruals and a tax benefit of $50 million arising from the retroactive research and development credit resulting from the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which was signed into law in January 2013.
In fiscal 2012, HP recorded a $1.3 billion income tax charge to record valuation allowances on certain U.S. deferred tax assets related to the enterprise services business, which was unique to the year. Other unique items included charges of $297 million for various foreign valuation allowances, as well as $26 million of income tax benefits related to adjustments to prior year foreign income tax accruals, settlement of tax audit matters, and miscellaneous other items.
In fiscal 2011, HP recorded $325 million of net income tax charges related to items unique to the year. These amounts included $468 million of tax charges for increases to foreign and state valuation allowances, offset by $78 million of income tax benefits for adjustments to prior year foreign income tax accruals, $63 million of income tax benefits for uncertain tax position reserve adjustments and settlement of tax audit matters, and $2 million of tax benefits associated with miscellaneous prior period items.

As a result of certain employment actions and capital investments HP has undertaken, income from manufacturing and services in certain countries is subject to reduced tax rates, and in some cases is wholly exempt from taxes, through 2024. The gross income tax benefits attributable to these actions and investments were estimated to be $827 million ($0.42 diluted net earnings per share) in fiscal 2013, $900 million ($0.46 diluted net earnings per share) in fiscal 2012 and $1.3 billion ($0.62 diluted net earnings per share) in fiscal 2011. The gross income tax benefits were offset partially by accruals of U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings, among other factors.

Up to $1.9 billion, $1.4 billion and $1.1 billion of HP's unrecognized tax benefits at October 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, would affect HP's effective tax rate if realized.
HP recognizes interest income from favorable settlements and income tax receivables and interest expense and penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits within income tax expense. As of October 31, 2013, HP had accrued $196 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 U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("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 $1.1 billion within the next 12 months.
HP is subject to income tax in the United States and approximately 80 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 state and foreign tax authorities. The IRS is conducting an audit of HP's 2009, 2010 and 2011 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's 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 $446 million.

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. HP intends to appeal the decision.
Tax years of HP's U.S. group of subsidiaries providing enterprise services through 2002 have been audited by the IRS, and all proposed adjustments have been resolved. RARs have been received for exam years 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and the short period ended August 26, 2008, proposing total tax deficiencies of $320 million. HP is contesting certain of these issues.
The IRS began an audit in 2013 of the 2010 income tax return of HP's U.S. group of subsidiaries providing enterprise services, and has issued an RAR for the short period ended October 31, 2008 and the period ending October 31, 2009 proposing a total tax deficiency of $62 million. HP is contesting certain of these issues.
With respect to major foreign and state tax jurisdictions, HP is no longer subject to tax authority examinations for years prior to 1999. HP is subject to a foreign tax audit concerning an intercompany transaction for fiscal 2009. The relevant taxing authority has proposed an assessment of approximately $680 million. HP is contesting this proposed assessment.
HP believes it has provided adequate reserves for all tax deficiencies or reductions in tax benefits that could result from IRS, foreign and state tax audit matters.
HP has not provided for U.S. federal income and foreign withholding taxes on $38.2 billion of undistributed earnings from non-U.S. operations as of October 31, 2013 because HP intends to reinvest such earnings indefinitely outside of the United States. If HP were to distribute these earnings, foreign tax credits may become available under current law to reduce the resulting U.S. income tax liability. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to these earnings is not practicable. HP will remit non-indefinitely reinvested earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries for which deferred U.S. federal and withholding taxes have been provided where excess cash has accumulated and it determines that it is advantageous for business operations, tax or cash management reasons.

All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition are considered cash equivalents. As of October 31, 2015 and 2014, the carrying amount of cash equivalents approximated fair value due to the short period of time to maturity. Interest income related to cash, cash equivalents and debt securities was approximately $129 million in fiscal 2015, $136 million in fiscal 2014 and $148 million in fiscal 2013. Time deposits were primarily issued by institutions outside the U.S. as of October 31, 2015 and 2014. The estimated fair value of the available-for-sale investments may not be representative of values that will be realized in the future.
The gross unrealized loss as of October 31, 2015 and 2014 was due primarily to decline in the fair value of a debt security of $13 million and $14 million, respectively, that has been in a continuous loss position for more than twelve months. HP does not intend to sell this debt security, and it is not likely that HP will be required to sell this debt security prior to the recovery of the amortized cost.

Derivative Instruments
HP is a global company exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and interest rate changes in the normal course of its business. 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's objective is to offset gains and losses resulting from these exposures with losses and gains on the derivative contracts used to hedge them, thereby reducing volatility of earnings or protecting the fair value of assets and liabilities. HP does not have any leveraged derivatives and does not use derivative contracts for speculative purposes. HP may designate its derivative contracts as fair value hedges, cash flow hedges or hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation ("net investment 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 Balance Sheets. HP classifies cash flows from its derivative programs with the activities that correspond to the underlying hedged items in the Consolidated 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. To mitigate counterparty credit risk, HP has a policy of only entering into derivative contracts with carefully selected major financial institutions based on their credit ratings and other factors, and HP maintains dollar risk limits that correspond to each financial institution's credit rating and other factors. HP's established policies and procedures for mitigating credit risk include reviewing and establishing limits for credit exposure and periodically reassessing the creditworthiness of its counterparties. Master netting agreements further 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 mitigate credit exposure to counterparties, 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. Collateral is generally posted within two business days. The fair value of derivatives with credit contingent features in a net liability position was $173 million and $38 million at October 31, 2015 and 2014, 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 October 31, 2015 and 2014.
Fair Value Hedges
HP issues long-term debt primarily in U.S. dollars based on market conditions at the time of financing. HP may enter 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. The swap transactions generally involve principal and interest obligations for U.S. dollar-denominated amounts. Alternatively, HP may choose not to swap fixed for floating interest payments or may terminate a previously executed swap if it believes a larger proportion of fixed-rate debt would be beneficial.
When investing in fixed-rate instruments, HP may enter into interest rate swaps that convert the fixed interest payments into variable interest payments and may designate these swaps as fair value hedges.
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 Statements of Earnings in the period of change.
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 sales-type and direct-financing leases and 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' equity in the Consolidated 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 uses forward contracts designated as net investment hedges to hedge net investments in certain foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is the local currency. HP records 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' equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Other Derivatives
Other derivatives not designated as hedging instruments consist primarily of forward contracts used to hedge foreign currency-denominated balance sheet exposures. HP also uses total return swaps and, to a lesser extent, interest rate swaps, based on equity or fixed income indices, 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 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 or net investment 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 Statements of Earnings in the same period in which ineffectiveness occurs. Amounts excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings in the period they arise.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Senior Notes
On October 9, 2015, Hewlett Packard Enterprise completed the offering and pricing of nine series of senior unsecured notes (the "Notes") in an aggregate principal amount of $14.6 billion which includes $14.0 billion of fixed rate notes and $600 million of floating rate notes. The interest on fixed rate notes are payable semiannually and the interest on floating-rate notes are payable quarterly. The issuance costs of $54 million are included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are being amortized to Interest expense over the term of the Notes. The Notes were initially guaranteed by HP. The guarantee was automatically and unconditionally released upon the completion of the Separation on November 1, 2015.
Concurrent with the issuance of the Notes, Hewlett Packard Enterprise entered into interest rate swaps to reduce the exposure of $9.5 billion of aggregate principal amount of fixed rate senior notes to changes in fair value resulting from changes in interest rates by achieving LIBOR-based floating interest expense.
Extinguishment of Debt
On September 30, 2015, HP commenced cash tender offers ("the Tender Offers") to purchase up to $8.85 billion outstanding debt securities in two separate offers, for (i) any and all of its outstanding 2.20% notes due December 2015, 2.65% notes due June 2016, 3.00% notes due September 2016, 3.30% notes due December 2016, 5.40% notes due March 2017, 2.60% notes due September 2017 and 5.50% notes due March 2018 and (ii) up to $2.3 billion in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 2.75% notes due January 2019, Floating Rate notes due January 2019, 3.75% notes due December 2020, 4.30% notes due June 2021, 4.375% notes due September 2021, 4.650% notes due December 2021, 4.050% notes due September 2022 and 6.00% notes due September 2041. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, HP redeemed and repaid $6.6 billion and this early extinguishment of debt resulted in a loss of $167 million, net of realized gains from fair value hedges, which was recorded as "Interest and other, net" on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. On November 4, 2015, HP incrementally redeemed and repaid a total of $2.1 billion fixed-rate U.S. Dollar Global Notes which resulted in a loss of $66 million, net of realized gains from fair value hedges.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise's Board of Directors has authorized the issuance of up to $4.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of commercial paper. Hewlett Packard Enterprise maintains two commercial paper programs: (i) a U.S. dollar-denominated commercial paper program under which, Hewlett Packard Enterprise is permitted to have issued and outstanding up to $4.0 billion unsecured commercial paper notes (the "U.S. Commercial Paper Program"), and (ii) a euro-commercial paper program under which, Hewlett Packard Enterprise is permitted to have issued and outstanding up to $3 billion unsecured commercial paper notes issued outside the U.S., (the "euro Commercial Paper Program").

Credit Agreements
As of October 31, 2015, HP maintained senior unsecured committed credit facilities primarily to support the issuance of commercial paper. HP had a $3.0 billion five-year credit facility that would have expired in March 2017 and a $4.5 billion five-year credit facility that would have expired in April 2019. Both facilities supported the U.S. commercial paper program and the euro commercial paper program. Commitment fees, interest rates and other terms of borrowing under the credit facilities varied based on HP's external credit ratings. HP's ability to have an outstanding U.S. commercial paper balance that exceeded the $7.5 billion supported by these credit facilities was subject to a number of factors, including liquidity conditions and business performance. In addition, the $3.0 billion five-year credit facility had been amended in September 2012 to permit borrowings in euros and British pounds, with the amounts available in euros and British pounds being limited to the U.S. dollar equivalent of $2.2 billion and $300 million, respectively.

Note 15: Retirement and Post-Retirement Benefit Plans
Defined Benefit Plans
HP sponsors a number of defined benefit pension plans worldwide, of which the most significant are in the United States. Both the HP Retirement Plan (the "Retirement Plan"), a traditional defined benefit pension plan based on pay and years of service, and the HP Company Cash Account Pension Plan (the "Cash Account Pension Plan"), under which benefits are accrued pursuant to a cash accumulation account formula based upon a percentage of pay plus interest, were frozen effective January 1, 2008. The Cash Account Pension Plan and the Retirement Plan were merged in 2005 for certain funding and investment purposes. Effective October 30, 2009 the EDS U.S. qualified pension plan was also merged into the HP Pension Plan.
HP reduces the benefit payable to a U.S. employee under the Retirement Plan for service before 1993, if any, by any amounts due to the employee under HP's frozen defined contribution Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan (the "DPSP"). HP closed the DPSP to new participants in 1993. The DPSP plan obligations are equal to the plan assets and are recognized as an offset to the Retirement Plan when HP calculates its defined benefit pension cost and obligations. The fair value of plan assets and projected benefit obligations for the U.S. defined benefit plans combined with the DPSP are as follows for the following fiscal years ended October 31:

Post-Retirement Benefit Plans
HP sponsors retiree health and welfare benefit plans in the Americas, of which the most significant are in the United States. Under the HP Retiree Welfare Benefits Plan, certain pre-2003 retirees and grandfathered participants with continuous service with HP since 2002 are eligible to receive partially-subsidized medical coverage based on years of service at retirement. Former grandfathered employees of Digital Equipment Corporation also receive partially-subsidized medical benefits that are not service-based. HP's share of the premium cost is capped for all subsidized medical coverage provided under
HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

Note 15: Retirement and Post-Retirement Benefit Plans (Continued)
the HP Retiree Welfare Benefits Plan. HP currently leverages the employer group waiver plan process to provide HP Retiree Welfare Benefits Plan post-65 prescription drug coverage under Medicare Part D, thereby giving HP access to federal subsidies to help pay for retiree benefits.
Certain employees not grandfathered under the above programs, as well as employees hired after 2002 but before August 2008, are eligible for credits under the HP Retirement Medical Savings Account Plan (the "RMSA") upon attaining age 45. Credits offered after September 2008 are provided only in the form of matching credits on employee contributions made to a voluntary employee beneficiary association. Upon retirement, former employees may use these credits for the reimbursement of certain eligible medical expenses, including premiums required for coverage.
Defined Contribution Plans
HP offers various defined contribution plans for U.S. and non-U.S. employees. Total defined contribution expense was $603 million in fiscal 2013, $628 million in fiscal 2012 and $626 million in fiscal 2011. U.S. employees are automatically enrolled in the Hewlett-Packard Company 401(k) Plan (the "HP 401(k) Plan") when they meet eligibility requirements, unless they decline participation.
Effective at the beginning of fiscal 2011, the quarterly employer matching contributions in the HP 401(k) Plan were set to equal 100% of an employee's contributions, up to a maximum of 4% of eligible compensation.

Settlements
During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, HP completed the transfer of the substitutional portion of its Japan pension obligation to the Japanese government. This transfer resulted in recognizing a net gain of $28 million, which is comprised of a net settlement loss of $150 million and a gain on government subsidy of $178 million. The government subsidy consisted of the elimination of $344 million of pension obligations and the transfer of $166 million of pension assets to the Japanese government.
Retirement Incentive Program
As part of the 2012 restructuring plan, the company announced a voluntary enhanced early retirement program for its U.S employees. Participation in the EER program was limited to those employees whose combined age and years of service equaled 65 or more. Approximately 8,500 employees elected to participate in the EER program and left the company on dates designated by the company with the majority of the EER participants having left the company on August 31, 2012 and others exiting through August 31, 2013. The HP Pension Plan was amended to provide for an EER benefit from the plan for electing EER participants who were current participants in the plan. The retirement incentive benefit was calculated as a lump sum and ranged between five and fourteen months of pay depending on years of service at the time of retirement under the program. As a result of this retirement incentive, HP recognized a special termination benefit ("STB") of $833 million, which reflected the present value of all additional benefits that HP would distribute from the HP Pension Plan. HP recorded these expenses as a restructuring charge. In addition, the HP Pension Plan was remeasured on June 30, 2012, which resulted in no material change to the 2012 net periodic benefit cost or funded status.
HP extended to all employees participating in the EER program the opportunity to continue health care coverage at active employee contribution rates for up to 24 months following retirement. In

addition, for employees not grandfathered into certain employer-subsidized retiree medical plans, HP provided up to $12,000 in employer credits under the RMSA. These items resulted in an additional STB expense of $227 million, which was offset by net curtailment gains of $37 million, due primarily to the resulting accelerated recognition of existing prior service cost/credits. The entire STB and approximately $30 million in curtailment gains were recognized in the second half of fiscal 2012. HP reported this net expense as a restructuring charge.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for plan assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used during the reporting period.
Investments in publicly-traded equity securities are valued using the closing price on the measurement date as reported on the stock exchange on which the individual securities are traded. For corporate, government and asset-backed debt securities, fair value is based upon observable inputs of comparable market transactions. For corporate and government debt securities traded on active exchanges, fair value is based upon observable quoted prices. The valuation of alternative investments, such as limited partnerships and joint ventures, may require significant management judgment. For alternative investments, valuation is based on net asset value ("NAV") as reported by the asset manager and is adjusted when management determines that NAV is not representative of fair value. In making such an assessment, a variety of factors are reviewed by management, including, but not limited to, the timeliness of NAV as reported by the asset manager and changes in general economic and market conditions subsequent to the last NAV reported by the asset manager. Depending on the amount of management judgment, the lack of near-term liquidity, and the absence of quoted market prices, these assets are classified in Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Further, depending on how quickly HP can redeem its hedge fund investments, and the extent of any adjustments to NAV, hedge funds are classified within either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Common collective trusts, interest in 103-12 entities and registered investment companies are valued at NAV. The valuation for some of these assets requires judgment due to the absence of quoted market prices, and these assets are generally classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Cash and cash equivalents includes money market funds, which are valued based on NAV. Other assets were classified in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input (e.g., quoted prices and observable inputs) that is significant to the fair value measure in its entirety.

Investment Policy
HP's investment strategy is to seek a competitive rate of return relative to an appropriate level of risk depending on the funded status of each plan. The majority of the plans' investment managers employ active investment management strategies with the goal of outperforming the broad markets in which they invest. Risk management practices include diversification across asset classes and investment styles and periodic rebalancing toward asset allocation targets. A number of the plans' investment managers are authorized to utilize derivatives for investment or liability exposures, and HP may utilize derivatives to effect asset allocation changes or to hedge certain investment or liability exposures.
The target asset allocation selected for each U.S. plan reflects a risk/return profile HP believes is appropriate relative to each plan's liability structure and return goals. HP conducts periodic asset-liability studies for U.S. plans in order to model various potential asset allocations in comparison to each plan's forecasted liabilities and liquidity needs. HP invests a portion of the U.S. defined benefit plan assets and post-retirement benefit plan assets in private market securities such as private equity funds to provide diversification and a higher expected return on assets.
Outside the United States, asset allocation decisions are typically made by an independent board of trustees for the specific plan. As in the U.S., investment objectives are designed to generate returns that will enable the plan to meet its future obligations. In some countries, local regulations may restrict asset allocations, typically leading to a higher percentage of investment in fixed income securities than would otherwise be deployed. HP reviews the investment strategy and provides a recommended list of investment managers for each country plan, with final decisions on asset allocation and investment managers made by the board of trustees for the specific plan.
Basis for Expected Long-Term Rate of Return on Plan Assets
The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets reflects the expected returns for each major asset class in which the plan invests and the weight of each asset class in the target mix. Expected asset returns reflect the current yield on government bonds, risk premiums for each asset class, and expected

real returns which considers each country's specific inflation outlook. Because HP's investment policy is to employ primarily active investment managers who seek to outperform the broader market, the expected returns are adjusted to reflect the expected additional returns net of fees.
Future Contributions and Funding Policy
In fiscal 2014, HP expects to contribute approximately $617 million to its non-U.S. pension plans and approximately $33 million to cover benefit payments to U.S. non-qualified plan participants. HP expects to pay approximately $109 million to cover benefit claims for HP's post-retirement benefit plans. HP's funding policy is to fund its pension plans so that it meets at least the minimum contribution requirements, as established by local government, funding and taxing authorities.
Estimated Future Benefits Payable
HP estimates that the future benefits payable for the retirement and post-retirement plans were as follows at October 31, 2013:

Note 16: Litigation and Contingencies
HP is involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, including those identified below, consisting of intellectual property,IP, commercial, securities, employment, employee benefits and environmental matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. HP accrues a liability when management believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. HP believes it has recorded adequate provisions for any such matters and, as of October 31, 2013,2015, it was not reasonably possible that an additionala material loss had been incurred in an amount in excess of the amounts already 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. 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 that 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 multifunctionmulti-function devices ("MFDs"), personal computers ("PCs")PCs and printers) 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.
VerwertungsGesellschaft Wort ("VG Wort"), a collection agency representing certain copyright holders, instituted legal proceedings against HP in the Stuttgart Civil Court seeking to impose levies on

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
Note 16: Litigation and Contingencies (Continued)
printers. On December 22, 2004, the court held that HP is liable for payments regarding all printers using ASCII code sold in Germany but did not determine the amount payable per unit. HP appealed this decision in January 2005 to the Stuttgart Court of Appeals. On May 11, 2005, the Stuttgart Court of Appeals issued a decision confirming that levies are due. On June 6, 2005, HP filed an appeal to the German Federal Supreme Court in Karlsruhe. On December 6, 2007, the German Federal Supreme Court issued a judgment that printers are not subject to levies under existing law. VG Wort appealed the decision by filing a claim with the German Federal Constitutional Court challenging the ruling that printers are not subject to levies. On September 21, 2010, the Constitutional Court published a decision holding that the German Federal Supreme Court erred by not referring questions on interpretation of German copyright law to the Court of Justice of the European Union ("CJEU") and therefore revoked the German Federal Supreme Court decision and remitted the matter to it. On July 21, 2011, the German Federal Supreme Court stayed the proceedings and referred several questions to the 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 this matter with other cases relating to reprographic levies on printers and PCs that was held on October 31, 2013, and2013. 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 where the printer is expectedused with a PC to make permitted reprographic copies in a single process under the control of the same person, but no levies are due on a printer for reprographic copies made with a "scanner-PC-printer" product chain. The case has been remitted to the Stuttgart Civil Court to assess the amount to be followedpaid per printer unit. The industry association BITKOM and VG Wort signed a settlement agreement defining the levies due on printers sold in Germany from 2001-2007. HP opted to join the settlement agreement on August 10, 2015 and paid €68.2 million (approximately $72.0 million) in levies, excluding value added taxes, due as a result of such settlement by a decision in January 2014.November 30, 2015.
In September 2003, VG Wort 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 compound 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 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, 2013,2013. 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 audio-visual 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 followed by a decision in January 2014.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 extra-judicial 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 anex partepreliminary 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 alleges that HP infringes a Memjet European patent. On December 4, 2015, HP filed an opposition and an application to suspend enforcement of the preliminary injunction pending a court hearing and decision. On December 9, 2015, the court denied HP's application to suspend enforcement prior to a hearing. A hearing is scheduled for January 7, 2016.
Fair Labor Standards Act LitigationLitigation.. HP is involved in several lawsuits in which the plaintiffs are seeking unpaid overtime compensation and other damages based on allegations that various employees of EDSElectronic Data Systems Corporation ("EDS") or HP have been misclassified as exempt employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act (" FLSA") and/or in violation of the California Labor Code or other state laws. Those matters include the following:

case. On December 14, 2010, the court granted conditional certification of a class consisting of employees in 20 legacy EDS job codes in the consolidatedCunningham andSteavens matter. Approximately 2,600 current and former EDS employees have filed consents to opt in to the litigation. Plaintiffs had alleged separate "opt-out" classes based on the overtime laws of the states of California, Washington, Massachusetts and New York, but plaintiffs have dismissed those claims.
State of South Carolina Department of Social Services Contract Dispute. In October 2012, the State of South Carolina Department of Social Services and related government agencies ("SCDSS") filed a proceeding before South Carolina's Chief Procurement Officer ("CPO") against Hewlett-Packard State & Local Enterprise Services, Inc., a subsidiary of HP ("HPSLES"). The dispute arises from a contract between SCDSS and HPSLES for the design, implementation and maintenance of a Child Support Enforcement and a Family Court Case Management System (the "CFS System"). SCDSS seeks aggregate damages of approximately $275 million, a declaration that HPSLES is in material breach of the contract and, therefore, that termination of the contract for cause by SCDSS would be appropriate, and a declaration that HPSLES is required to perform certain additional disputed work that expands the scope of the original contract. In November 2012, HPSLES filed responsive pleadings asserting defenses and seeking payment of past-due invoices totaling more than $12 million. On July 10, 2013,
HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
Note 17: Litigation and Contingencies (Continued)
SCDSS terminated the contract with HPSLES for cause, and, in its termination notice, SCDSS asserted that HPSLES is responsible for all future federal penalties until the CFS System achieves federal certification, sought an immediate order requiring HPSLES to transfer to SCDSS all work completed and in progress, and indicated that it intends to seek suspension and debarment of HPSLES from contracting with the State of South Carolina. HPSLES is disputing the termination as improper and defective. In addition, on August 9, 2013, HPSLES filed its own affirmative claim within the proceeding alleging that SCDSS materially breached the contract by its improper termination and that SCDSS was a primary and material cause of the project delays. On September 4, 2013, the CPO denied SCDSS's motion for injunctive relief seeking immediate transfer of the system assets to SCDSS and indicated that the CPO would address that request following a hearing on the merits. The hearing on the merits before the CPO commenced on October 21, 2013, and is expected to continue through early January 2014.
India Directorate of Revenue Intelligence ProceedingsProceedings.. 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 Ltd ("HPI"HP India"), a subsidiary of HP, seven current 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 in 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 HPIHP India and the named individuals of approximately $386 million, of which HPIHP India had already deposited $9 million. On December 11, 2012, HPIHP 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 HPIHP India and certain of the named individuals of approximately $17 million, of which HPIHP India had already deposited $7 million. After the order, HPIHP India deposited an additional $3 million in connection with the parts-related show cause notice so as to avoid certain penalties.
HPIHP 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 HPIHP India to deposit an additional $24 million against the products order, which HPIHP India deposited in March 2013. The Customs Tribunal did not order any additional deposit to be made under the parts order. In December 2013, HPIHP India filed applications before the Customs Tribunal seeking early hearing of the appeals as well as thean extension of the stay of deposit as to HP India and the individuals already granted until final disposition of the appeals. These applications are currently pending beforeOn 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 not been set.

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 has 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 has 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 U.S. DepartmentRegional Court of Justice andLeipzig will determine whether the SEC have been conducting an investigation into the Russia GPO deal and potential violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"). These U.S. enforcement agencies, as well as thematter should be admitted to trial.

On July 13, 2015, the court granted the motion to dismiss and gave the plaintiffs leave to amend their complaint. The plaintiffs filed a first amended complaint on July 31, 2015. On August 21, 2015, HP and HP Mexico filed a motion to dismiss the first amended complaint. On November 3, 2015, the parties settled the matter for no payment and the court dismissed this case with prejudice on November 4, 2015.
ECT ProceedingsProceedings.. In January 2011, the postal service of Brazil, Empresa Brasileira de Correios e Telégrafos ("ECT"), notified an HP subsidiary in Brazil ("HP Brazil") that it had initiated administrative proceedings to consider whether to suspend HP Brazil's right to bid and contract with ECT related to alleged improprieties in the bidding and contracting processes whereby employees of HP Brazil and employees of several other companies allegedly coordinated their bids and fixed results for three ECT contracts in 2007 and 2008. In late July 2011, ECT notified HP Brazil it had decided to apply the penalties against HP Brazil and suspend HP Brazil's right to bid and contract with ECT for five years, based upon the evidence before it. In August 2011, HP Brazil appealed ECT's decision. In April 2013, ECT rejected HP Brazil's appeal, and the administrative proceedings were closed with the penalties against HP Brazil remaining in place. In parallel, in September 2011, HP Brazil filed a civil action against ECT seeking to have ETC'sECT's decision revoked. HP Brazil also requested an injunction suspending the application of the penalties until a final ruling on the merits of the case. The court of first instance has not issued a decision on the merits of the case, but it has denied HP Brazil's request for injunctive relief. HP Brazil appealed the denial of its request for injunctive relief to the intermediate appellate court, which issued a preliminary ruling denying the request for injunctive relief but reducing the length of the sanctions from five to two years. HP Brazil appealed that decision and, in December 2011, obtained a ruling staying enforcement of ECT's sanctions until a final ruling on the merits of the case. HP expects the court of first instancedecision to issue a decision on the merits of the case before the end of the first six months of calendar year 2014be issued in 2016 and any subsequent appeal on the merits to last several years. Pursuant to the separation and distribution agreement, Hewlett Packard Enterprise has been assigned responsibility for this litigation.
Cisco Systems. On August 21, 2015, Cisco Systems, Inc. ("Cisco Systems") and Cisco Systems Capital Corporation ("Cisco Capital") filed an action in Santa Clara County Superior Court for declaratory judgment and breach of contract against HP in connection with a dispute arising out of a third-party's termination of a services contract with HP. As part of that third-party services contract, HP separately contracted with Cisco on an agreement to utilize Cisco products and services. HP prepaid the entire amount due Cisco through a financing arrangement with Cisco Capital. Following the termination of HP services contract with the third-party, HP no longer required Cisco's products and services, and, accordingly, exercised its contractual termination rights under the agreement with Cisco, and requested that Cisco apply the appropriate credit toward the remaining balance owed Cisco Capital. This lawsuit relates to the calculation of that credit under the agreement between Cisco and HP. Cisco contends that after the credit is applied, HP still owes Cisco Capital approximately $58 million. HP contends that under a proper reading of the agreement, HP owes nothing to Cisco

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 its 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 the HPHP'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. These matters include the following:

On May 3, 2013, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated complaint alleging that, during that same period, all of the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and SEC Rule 10b-5(b) by concealing material information and making false statements related to HP's acquisition of Autonomy and that certain defendants violated SEC Rule 10b-5(a) and (c) by engaging in a "scheme" to defraud investors. On July 2, 2013, HP filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. On November 26, 2013, the court granted in part and denied in part HP's motion to dismiss, allowing claims to proceed against HP and Margaret C. Whitman based on alleged statements and/or omissions made on or after May 23, 2012. The court dismissed all of the plaintiff's claims that were based on alleged statements and/or omissions made between August 19, 2011 and May 22, 2012.
The lead plaintiff filed a motion for class certification on November 4, 2014 and, on December 15, 2014, the defendants filed their opposition to the motion. On June 9, 2015, HP entered into a settlement agreement with the lead plaintiff in the consolidated securities class action. Under the terms of the settlement, HP, through its insurers, will contribute $100 million to a settlement fund that will be used to compensate persons who purchased HP's shares during the period from August 19, 2011 through November 20, 2012. No individual is contributing to the settlement. HP and its current and former officers, directors, and advisors will be released from any Autonomy-related securities claims as part of the settlement. On July 17, 2015, the court granted preliminary approval to the settlement. On November 13, 2015, the court granted final approval to the settlement.

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 non-compliant 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.
Note 18: Segment Information17: Guarantees, Indemnifications and Warranties
Description of SegmentsGuarantees
In the ordinary course of business, HP is a leading global providermay issue performance guarantees to certain of products, technologies, software, solutionsits clients, customers and servicesother parties pursuant to individual consumers, small- and medium-sized businesses ("SMBs"), and large enterprises, including customerswhich 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 government, health and education sectors. HP's offerings span personal computing and other access devices; imaging and printing-related products and services; multi-vendor customer services, including infrastructure technology and business process outsourcing, application development and support services, and consulting and integration services; enterprise information technology ("IT") infrastructure, including enterprise server and storage technology, networking products and solutions, and technology support and maintenance; and IT management software, information management solutions and security intelligence/risk management solutions.
HP's operations are organized into seven reportable business segments for financial reporting purposes: Personal Systems, Printing, the Enterprise Group, Enterprise Services, Software, HP Financial Services and Corporate Investments. HP's organizational structure is based onevent a number of factors that management uses to evaluate, view and run its business operations, which include, but are not limited to, customer base, homogeneity of products and technology. The reportable business segments are based on this organizational structure and information reviewed by HP's management to evaluate the business segment results.
The Personal Systems segment and the Printing segment are structured beneath a broader Printing and Personal Systems Group ("PPS"). While PPS is not a reportable segment, HP sometimes provides financial data aggregating the Personal Systems and the Printing segments within it in order to provide a supplementary view of its business.
HP has implemented certain organizational realignments. As a result of these realignments, HP re-evaluated its reportable segment structure and, effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, created two new reportable segments, the EG segment and the ES segment, and eliminated two other reportable segments, the ESSN segment and the Services segment. The EG segment consists of the business units within the former ESSN segment and most of the services offerings of the TS business unit, which was previously a part of the former Services segment. The ES segment consists of the ABS and ITO business units from the former Services segment, along with the end-user workplace support services business that was previously a part of the TS business unit.
Also as a result of these realignments, the financial results of the Personal Systems commercial products support business, which were previously reported as part of the TS business unit, are nowspecified

triggering event occurs as defined by the guarantee. HP believes the likelihood of having to perform under a material guarantee is remote.
HP has entered into service contracts with certain of its clients that are supported by financing arrangements. If a service contract is terminated as a result of HP's non-performance under the contract or failure to comply with the terms of the financing arrangement, HP could, under certain circumstances, be required to acquire certain assets related to the service contract. HP believes the likelihood of having to acquire a material amount of assets under these arrangements 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.
For information on the cross-indemnifications related to the tax matter agreements and litigations effective upon the Separation on November 1, 2015, see Note 6 "Taxes on Earnings" and Note 16 "Litigation and Contingencies", respectively.
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.

Segment Data
HP derives the results of the business segments directly from its internal management reporting system. The accounting policies HP uses to derive business segment results are substantially the same as those the consolidated company uses. Management measures the performance of each business segment based on several metrics, including earnings from operations. Management uses these results, in part, to evaluate the performance of, and to assign resources to, each of the business segments. HP does not allocate to its business segments certain operating expenses, which it manages separately at the corporate level. These unallocated costs include restructuring charges, amortization of intangible assets, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, certain stock-based compensation expense and acquisition-related charges, as well as certain corporate governance costs.
Segment revenue includes revenues from sales to external customers and intersegment revenues that reflect transactions between the segments that are carried out at an arm's-length transfer price. Intersegment revenues primarily consist of sales of hardware and software that are sourced internally and, in the majority of the cases, are classified as operating leases within HPFS. HP's Consolidated Net
HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

Note 18: Segment Information (Continued)
Revenue is derived and reported after elimination of intersegment revenues for such arrangements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
To provide improved visibility and comparability, HP has reflected the 2013 changes effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 to its reporting structure in prior financial reporting periods on an as-if basis, which has resulted in the transfer of revenue and operating profit among the Personal Systems, EG, ES and Corporate Investments segments. These changes had no impact on the previously reported financial results for the Printing, Software or HPFS segments. In addition, none of these changes impacted HP's previously reported consolidated net revenue, earnings from operations, net earnings or net earnings per share.
