Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of HP and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Principles of Consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of HP and its subsidiaries and affiliates in which HP has a controlling financial interest or is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Reclassifications HP has reclassified certain prior-year amounts to conform to the current-year presentation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in HP’s Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. Foreign Currency Translation HP predominantly 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 non-monetary 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 in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Certain foreign subsidiaries designate the local currency as the 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. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance that enhances the transparency about the use of supplier finance programs. Under the new guidance, companies that use a supplier finance program in connection with the purchase of goods or services are required to disclose information about those programs to allow users of financial statements to understand the nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. HP adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, except for the disclosure on roll forward information which will be adopted in fiscal year 2025, in line with the effective adoption dates prescribed by the FASB. See Note 7, “Supplementary Financial Information,” for additional disclosure related to HP’s supplier finance programs. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance that requires disaggregation of specific expense categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements on an annual and interim basis. HP is required to adopt this guidance for its annual period ending October 31, 2028 and all interim periods thereafter on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. HP is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance that enhances the transparency of income tax disclosures by expanding annual disclosure requirements related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. HP is required to adopt this guidance for its annual period ending October 31, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. HP is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its disclosures. In November 2023, the FASB issued guidance that updates reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and information used to assess segment performance on an annual and interim basis. HP is required to adopt this guidance for its annual period ending October 31, 2025 and all interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. HP is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its disclosures. Revenue Recognition General HP recognizes revenues at a point in time or over time depicting the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which HP expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. HP follows the five-step model for revenue recognition as summarized below: 1. Identify the contract with a customer - A contract with customer exists when (i) it is approved and signed by all parties, (ii) each party’s rights and obligations can be identified, (iii) payment terms are defined, (iv) it has commercial substance and (v) the customer has the ability and intent to pay. HP evaluates customers’ ability to pay based on various factors like historical payment experience, financial metrics and customer credit scores. While the majority of our sales contracts contain standard terms and conditions, there are certain contracts with non-standard terms and conditions. 2. Identify the performance obligations in the contract - HP evaluates each performance obligation in an arrangement to determine whether it is distinct, such as hardware and/or service. A performance obligation constitutes distinct goods or services when the customer can benefit from such goods or services either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer and the performance obligation is distinct within the context of the contract. 3. Determine the transaction price - Transaction price is the amount of consideration to which HP expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer. If the transaction price includes a variable amount, HP estimates the amount it expects to be entitled to using either the expected value or the most likely amount method. HP reduces the transaction price at the time of revenue recognition for customer and distributor programs and incentive offerings, rebates, promotions, other volume-based incentives and expected returns. HP uses estimates to determine the expected variable consideration for such programs based on factors like historical experience, expected consumer behavior and market conditions. HP has elected the practical expedient of not accounting for significant financing components if the period between revenue recognition and when the customer pays for the product or service is one year or less. 4. Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract - When a sales arrangement contains multiple performance obligations, such as hardware and/or services, HP allocates revenue to each performance obligation in proportion to their selling price. The selling price for each performance obligation is based on its Standalone Selling Price (“SSP”). HP establishes SSP using the price charged for a performance obligation when sold separately (“observable price”) and, in some instances, using the price established by management having the relevant authority. When observable price is not available, HP establishes SSP maximizing the use of observable inputs based on management judgment while considering internal factors such as historical discounting trends for products and services, pricing practices and other observable factors. 5. Recognize revenue when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied - Revenue is recognized when, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of a promised good or service to a customer. HP generally invoices the customer upon delivery of the goods or services and the payments are due as per contract terms. For fixed price support or maintenance contracts that are in the nature of stand-ready obligations, payments are generally received in advance from customers and revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the duration of the contract. HP reports revenue net of any taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities, and the collected taxes are recorded as other current liabilities until remitted to the relevant government authority. HP includes costs related to shipping and handling in Cost of net revenue. HP records revenue on a gross basis when HP is a principal in 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. Hardware HP transfers control of the products to the customer at the time the product is delivered to the customer and recognizes revenue accordingly, unless customer acceptance is uncertain or significant obligations to the customer remain unfulfilled. HP records revenue from the sale of equipment under sales-type leases as revenue at the commencement of the lease. Services HP recognizes revenue from fixed-price support, maintenance and other service contracts over time depicting the pattern of service delivery and recognizes the costs associated with these contracts as incurred. Contract Assets and Liabilities Contract assets are rights to consideration in exchange for goods or services that HP has transferred to a customer when such right is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Such contract assets are not material to HP’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Contract liabilities are recorded as deferred revenues when amounts invoiced to customers are more than the revenues recognized or when payments are received in advance for fixed-price support or maintenance contracts. The short-term and long-term deferred revenues are reported within the Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities respectively. Cost to obtain a contract and fulfillment cost Incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract primarily consist of sales commissions. HP has elected the practical expedient to expense as incurred the costs to obtain a contract with a benefit period equal to or less than one year. For contracts with a period of benefit greater than one year, HP capitalizes incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer and amortizes these costs over their expected period of benefit provided such costs are recoverable. Fulfillment costs consist of set-up and transition costs related to other service contracts. These costs generate or enhance resources of HP that will be used in satisfying the performance obligation in the future and are capitalized and amortized over the expected period of the benefit, provided such costs are recoverable. See Note 7, “Supplementary Financial Information” for details on net revenue by region, cost to obtain a contract and fulfillment cost, contract liabilities and value of remaining performance obligations. Leases At the inception of a contract, HP assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The assessment is based on (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether HP obtains the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether HP has the right to direct the use of the asset. All significant lease arrangements are recognized at lease commencement. Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less at inception are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. HP determines the lease term by assuming the exercise of renewal options that are reasonably certain. As most of the leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, HP uses the unsecured borrowing rate and risk-adjusts that rate to approximate a collateralized rate at the commencement date to determine the present value of future payments that are reasonably certain. Stock-Based Compensation HP determines stock-based compensation expense based on the measurement date fair 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 non-contributory 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 limited cases, HP amortizes actuarial gains and losses using the corridor approach. See Note 4, “Retirement and Post-Retirement Benefit Plans” for a full description of these plans and the accounting and funding policies. Advertising Cost 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 $628 million, $611 million and $696 million in fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Restructuring and Other Charges HP records 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 reduce a specified number of employees, enhanced early retirement incentives, infrastructure charges to vacate facilities and consolidate operations, and contract cancellation costs. HP records restructuring charges based on estimated employee terminations, committed early retirements 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 determining severance accruals are based on existing plans, historical experiences and negotiated settlements. Other charges include non-recurring costs, including those as a result of information technology rationalization efforts and transformation program management costs, and are distinct from ongoing operational costs. These costs primarily relate to third-party professional services and other non-recurring costs. 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 any related interest and penalties. HP is subject to the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) tax in the U.S. and elects to recognize these taxes as a current expense in the period incurred. Accounts Receivable HP records allowance for credit losses for the current expected credit losses inherent in the asset over its expected life. The allowance for credit losses is maintained based on the relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. 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 assesses collectability by pooling receivables where similar risk characteristics exist. HP maintains an allowance for credit losses 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, financial condition of customers, 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 utilizes certain third-party arrangements in the normal course of business as part of HP’s cash and liquidity management and also to provide liquidity to certain partners to facilitate their working capital requirements. 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 Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject HP to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, investments, receivables from trade customers and contract manufacturers 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 geographic regions, and HP’s policy is designed to limit exposure from any particular institution. As part of its risk management processes, HP performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these 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, interest rate and, on certain investment exposures. Such contracts involve the risk of non-performance by the counterparty, which could result in a material loss. The likelihood of which HP deems to be remote. 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 these distributors’ and resellers’ aggregated business 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 38% and 41% of gross accounts receivable as of October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. One customer, TD Synnex Corp, accounted for 9.7% of gross accounts receivable as of October 31, 2024 and 13.2% of gross accounts receivable as of October 31, 2023. Credit risk with respect to other accounts receivable is generally diversified due to HP’s large customer base and their dispersion across many different industries and geographic markets. HP performs ongoing credit evaluations of the financial condition of its third-party distributors, resellers and other customers and may require collateral, such as letters of credit and bank guarantees, in certain circumstances. HP utilizes outsourced manufacturers around the world to manufacture HP-designed products. HP may purchase product components from suppliers and sell those components to its outsourced manufacturers thereby creating receivable balances from the outsourced manufacturers. The three largest outsourced manufacturer receivable balances collectively represented 89% and 58% of HP’s supplier receivables of $0.8 billion and $0.3 billion as of October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. HP includes the supplier receivables in Other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets on a gross basis. HP’s credit risk associated with these receivables is mitigated wholly or in part, by the amount HP owes to these outsourced manufacturers, as HP generally has the legal right to offset its payables to the outsourced manufacturers against these receivables. HP does not reflect the sale of these components in net revenue and does not recognize any profit 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 products net revenue. HP obtains a significant number of components from single source suppliers like Canon, 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 net revenue, cash flows and gross margins. Inventory HP records inventory at the lower of cost or market (net realizable value) on a first-in, first-out basis. Cost is computed using standard cost which approximates actual cost. Adjustments, if required, to reduce the cost of inventory to market are made for estimated excess, obsolete or impaired balances after considering judgments related to future demand and market conditions. Property, Plant and Equipment, Net HP reflects 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 three Internal Use Software and Cloud Computing Arrangements HP capitalizes external costs and directly attributable internal costs to acquire or create internal use software which are incurred subsequent to the completion of the preliminary project stage. These costs relate to activities such as software design, configuration, coding, testing, and installation. Costs related to post-implementation activities such as training and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Once the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, capitalized development costs are amortized straight-line over the estimated useful life of the software, generally not to exceed five years. HP also enters into certain cloud-based software hosting arrangements that are accounted for as service contracts. For internal-use software obtained through a hosting arrangement that is in the nature of a service contract, HP incurs certain implementation costs such as integrating, configuring, and software customization, which are consistent with costs incurred during the application development stage for on-premise software. HP applies the same guidance to determine costs that are eligible for capitalization. For these arrangements, HP amortizes the capitalized development costs straight-line over the fixed, non-cancellable term of the associated hosting arrangement plus any reasonably certain renewal periods. HP also applies the same impairment model to both internal-use software and capitalized implementation costs in a software hosting arrangement that is in the nature of a service contract. Goodwill HP reviews goodwill for impairment annually during its fourth quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. HP can elect to perform a qualitative assessment to test a reporting unit’s goodwill for impairment or directly perform the quantitative impairment test. Based on the qualitative assessment, if HP determines that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than 50 percent) to be less than its carrying amount, a quantitative impairment test will be performed. If a quantitative impairment test is performed, HP compares the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount. The fair values are derived most significantly from the income approach, with lesser weight attributed to 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. 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 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, HP estimates fair value based on market multiples of 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 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. 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. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, goodwill is impaired and the excess of the reporting unit’s carrying value over the fair value is recognized as an impairment loss. Debt and Marketable Equity Securities Investments HP determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and re-evaluates the classifications at each balance sheet date. Debt and marketable equity securities are generally considered available-for-sale. All highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. Marketable debt securities with maturities of twelve months or less are classified as short-term investments and marketable debt securities with maturities greater than twelve months are classified based on their availability for use in current operations. Marketable equity securities, including mutual funds, are classified as either short or long-term based on the nature of each security and its availability for use in current operations. Available-for-sale debt securities are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable taxes, in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Unrealized gains and losses on equity securities, credit losses and impairments on available-for-sale debt securities are recorded in Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are calculated at the individual security level and included in Interest and other, net in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. HP monitors its investment portfolio for potential impairment and credit losses on a quarterly basis. If HP intends to sell a debt security or it is more likely than not that HP will be required to sell the security before recovery, then a decline in fair value below cost is recorded as an impairment charge in Interest and other, net and a new cost basis in the investment is established. In other cases, if the carrying amount of an investment in debt securities exceeds its fair value and the decline in value is determined to be due to credit related reasons, HP records a credit loss allowance, limited by the amount that fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. HP recognizes the corresponding charge in Interest and other, net and the remaining unrealized loss, if any, in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Factors that HP considers while determining the credit loss allowance includes, but is not limited to, severity and the reason for the decline in value, interest rate changes and counterparty long-term ratings. Derivatives HP uses derivative instruments, primarily forward contracts, option contracts, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, treasury rate locks and forward starting swaps to hedge certain foreign currency, interest rate and, return on certain investment 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 instruments for speculative purposes. See Note 10, “Financial Instruments” for a full description of HP’s derivative instrument activities and related accounting policies. Legal 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 14, “Litigation and Contingencies” for a full description of HP’s loss contingencies and related accounting policies.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	Segment Information HP’s operations are organized into three reportable segments: Personal Systems, Printing, and Corporate Investments. HP’s organizational structure is based on many factors that the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) uses to evaluate, view and run the business operations, which include, but are not limited to, customer base and homogeneity of products and technology. The segments are based on this organizational structure and information reviewed by HP’s CODM to evaluate segment results. The CODM uses earnings from operations to evaluate the performance of the overall business and to allocate resources to each of the segments. The accounting policies HP uses to derive segment results are substantially the same as those used by HP in preparing these financial statements. HP derives the results of the business segments directly from its internal management reporting system. HP does not allocate certain operating expenses, which it manages at the corporate level, to its segments. These unallocated amounts include expenses such as certain corporate governance costs and infrastructure investments, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring and other charges, acquisition and divestiture charges, amortization of intangible assets and Russia exit charges. Segment Operating Results from Operations and the reconciliation to HP consolidated results were as follows: For the fiscal years ended October 31 2024 2023 2022 In millions Net revenue: Commercial PS $ 25,486 $ 24,712 $ 29,616 Consumer PS 10,709 10,972 14,395 Personal Systems 36,195 35,684 44,011 Supplies 11,295 11,452 11,761 Commercial Printing 4,841 5,250 5,339 Consumer Printing 1,202 1,327 1,802 Printing 17,338 18,029 18,902 Corporate Investments 25 7 2 Total segment net revenue 53,558 53,720 62,915 Other 1 (2) (5) Total net revenue $ 53,559 $ 53,718 $ 62,910 Earnings before taxes: Personal Systems $ 2,194 $ 2,129 $ 2,761 Printing 3,290 3,399 3,619 Corporate Investments (132) (142) (230) Total segment earnings from operations 5,352 5,386 6,150 Corporate and unallocated costs and other (380) (375) (461) Stock-based compensation expense (452) (438) (343) Restructuring and other charges (301) (527) (218) Acquisition and divestiture charges (83) (240) (318) Amortization of intangible assets (318) (350) (228) Russia exit charges — — (23) Interest and other, net (539) (519) (235) Total earnings before taxes $ 3,279 $ 2,937 $ 4,324 Realignment Effective at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal year 2024, HP realigned its business unit financial reporting more closely with its customer market segmentation. The realignment resulted in the transfer of LaserJet printers net revenues from Consumer Printing to Commercial Printing. HP reflected this change to its business unit information in prior reporting periods on an as-if basis which resulted in the reclassification of net revenues from Consumer Printing to Commercial Printing. The reporting change had no impact to previously reported segment net revenue, consolidated net revenue, earnings from operations, net earnings or net earnings per share (“EPS”). Segment Assets HP allocates assets to its business segments based on the segments primarily benefiting from the assets. Total assets by segment and the reconciliation of segment assets to HP consolidated assets were as follows: As of October 31 2024 2023 In millions Personal Systems $ 22,378 $ 18,791 Printing 16,457 15,955 Corporate Investments 181 176 Corporate and unallocated assets 893 2,082 Total assets $ 39,909 $ 37,004 Major Customers No single customer represented 10% or more of HP’s net revenue in any fiscal year presented. Geographic Information Net revenue by country is based upon the sales location that predominately represents the customer location. Other than the United States, no country represented more than 10% of HP net revenue in any fiscal year presented. Net revenue by country was as follows: For the fiscal years ended October 31 2024 2023 2022 In millions United States $ 18,790 $ 18,829 $ 21,626 Other countries 34,769 34,889 41,284 Total net revenue $ 53,559 $ 53,718 $ 62,910 Net property, plant and equipment by country in which HP operates was as follows: As of October 31 2024 2023 In millions United States $ 1,471 $ 1,351 Singapore 335 341 South Korea 297 307 Malaysia 275 287 Other countries 536 541 Total property, plant and equipment, net $ 2,914 $ 2,827 No single country other than those represented above exceeded 10% or more of HP’s total net property, plant and equipment in any fiscal year presented.

See Note 4 “Retirement and Post-Retirement Benefit Plans” for further information . Fiscal 2023 Plan On November 18, 2022, HP’s Board of Directors approved the Future Ready Plan intended to enable digital transformation, portfolio optimization and operational efficiency which HP expects will be implemented through fiscal year 2025. HP expects workforce reductions of approximately 7,000 employees. HP estimates that it will incur pre-tax charges of approximately $1.0 billion of which approximately $0.7 billion primarily in labor costs related to workforce reductions and the remaining costs will relate to non-labor actions and other charges. Other Charges Other charges include non-recurring costs, including those as a result of information technology rationalization efforts and transformation program management costs, and are distinct from ongoing operational costs. These costs primarily relate to third-party professional services and other non-recurring costs. HP incurred $68 million, $83 million and $25 million of other charges in fiscal year 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]
Retirement and Post-Retirement Benefit Plans	Retirement and Post-Retirement Benefit Plans Defined Benefit Plans HP sponsors a number of defined benefit pension plans worldwide. The most significant defined benefit plan, the HP Inc. Pension Plan (“Pension Plan”) is a frozen plan in the United States. HP reduces the benefit payable to certain 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”). As of October 31, 2024 and 2023, the fair value of HP’s DPSP plan assets was $297 million and $311 million, respectively. The DPSP obligations are equal to the plan assets and are recognized as an offset to the Pension Plan when HP calculates its defined benefit pension cost and obligations. Post-Retirement Benefit Plans HP sponsors retiree health and welfare benefit plans, of which the most significant are in the United States. Under the HP Inc. 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. HP’s share of the premium cost is capped for all subsidized medical coverage provided under the HP Inc. Retiree Welfare Benefits Plan. HP currently leverages the employer group waiver plan process to provide HP Inc. 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 for partially subsidized medical coverage under the above programs, and employees hired after 2002 but before August 2008, are eligible for credits under the HP Inc. Retiree Welfare Benefits Plan. Credits offered after September 2008 are provided in the form of matching credits on employee contributions made to a voluntary employee beneficiary association upon attaining age 45 or as part of early retirement programs. On 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 $133 million, $131 million, and $119 million in fiscal year 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. U.S. employees are automatically enrolled in the HP Inc. 401(k) Plan when they meet eligibility requirements, unless they decline participation. The employer matching contributions in the HP Inc. 401(k) Plan is 100% of the first 4% of eligible compensation contributed by employees, and the employer match is vested after three years of employee service. Generally, an employee must be employed by HP Inc. on the last day of the calendar year to receive a match. Pension and Post-Retirement Benefit Expense The components of HP’s pension and post-retirement benefit (credit) cost recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings were as follows: For the fiscal years ended October 31 2024 2023 2022 2024 2023 2022 2024 2023 2022 U.S. Defined Non-U.S. Defined Post-Retirement In millions Service cost $ — $ — $ — $ 37 $ 39 $ 56 $ 1 $ 1 $ 1 Interest cost 228 217 161 46 41 22 15 15 8 Expected return on plan assets (246) (258) (298) (51) (53) (48) (15) (14) (9) Amortization and deferrals: Actuarial loss (gain) 28 18 5 (1) 4 36 (15) (16) (15) Prior service cost (credit) — — — 6 5 5 (10) (11) (11) Net periodic benefit cost (credit) 10 (23) (132) 37 36 71 (24) (25) (26) Settlement loss — — — 2 — — — — — Special termination benefit cost — 105 — — — — — 34 — Total periodic benefit cost (credit) $ 10 $ 82 $ (132) $ 39 $ 36 $ 71 $ (24) $ 9 $ (26) The components of net periodic benefit (credit) cost other than the service cost component are included in Interest and other, net The weighted-average assumptions used to calculate the total periodic benefit (credit) cost were as follows: For the fiscal years ended October 31 2024 2023 2022 2024 2023 2022 2024 2023 2022 U.S. Defined Non-U.S. Defined Post-Retirement Discount rate 6.2 % 5.7 % 2.9 % 3.9 % 3.5 % 1.3 % 6.0 % 5.6 % 2.5 % Expected increase in compensation levels 2.0 % 2.0 % 2.0 % 3.0 % 3.0 % 2.6 % — % — % — % Expected long-term return on plan assets 6.6 % 6.4 % 5.1 % 5.3 % 5.4 % 4.3 % 5.2 % 3.3 % 2.0 % Interest crediting rate 5.5 % 5.0 % 5.0 % 2.6 % 2.6 % 2.6 % 5.4 % 4.2 % 2.9 % Funded Status The funded status of the defined benefit and post-retirement benefit plans was as follows: As of October 31 2024 2023 2024 2023 2024 2023 U.S. Defined Non-U.S. Defined Post-Retirement In millions Change in fair value of plan assets: Fair value of assets — beginning of year $ 3,853 $ 4,170 $ 959 $ 907 $ 382 $ 383 Actual return on plan assets 598 (67) 111 8 33 17 Employer contributions 26 27 53 36 4 4 Participant contributions — — 17 17 28 32 Benefits paid (258) (274) (54) (38) (48) (54) Settlement (1) (3) (28) (33) — — Transfers — — — — (82) — Currency impact — — 27 62 — — Fair value of assets — end of year $ 4,218 $ 3,853 $ 1,085 $ 959 $ 317 $ 382 Change in benefits obligation Projected benefit obligation — beginning of year $ 3,854 $ 3,969 $ 1,185 $ 1,145 $ 299 $ 274 Service cost — — 37 39 1 1 Interest cost 228 217 46 41 15 15 Participant contributions — — 17 17 28 32 Actuarial loss (gain) 395 (160) 116 (71) (8) (3) Benefits paid (258) (274) (54) (38) (48) (54) Plan amendments — — — 4 — — Settlement (1) (3) (28) (33) — — Special termination benefit cost — 105 — — — 34 Currency impact — — 26 81 — — Projected benefit obligation — end of year $ 4,218 $ 3,854 $ 1,345 $ 1,185 $ 287 $ 299 Funded status at end of year $ — $ (1) $ (260) $ (226) $ 30 $ 83 Accumulated benefit obligation $ 4,217 $ 3,854 $ 1,248 $ 1,088 The cumulative net actuarial losses for our defined pension plans and retiree welfare plans increased year over year.

(2) The fair value of corporate, government and asset-backed debt securities is based on observable inputs of comparable market transactions. Also included in this category is debt issued by national, state and local governments and agencies. (3) Department of Labor 103-12 IE (Investment Entity) designation is for plan assets held by two or more unrelated employee benefit plans which includes limited partnerships and venture capital partnerships. Certain common collective trusts and interests in 103-12 entities are valued using NAV as a practical expedient. (4) Includes publicly traded funds of investment companies that are registered with the SEC, funds that are not publicly traded and a non-U.S. fund-of-fund arrangement. (5) Includes cash and cash equivalents such as short-term marketable securities. Cash and cash equivalents include 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. (6) Includes primarily reverse repurchase agreements, unsettled transactions, and derivative instruments. (7) These investments include alternative investments, which primarily consist of private equities and hedge funds. The valuation of alternative investments, such as limited partnerships and joint ventures, may require significant management judgment. For alternative investments, valuation is based on NAV as reported by the asset manager or investment company and adjusted for cash flows, if necessary. 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. • Private equities include limited partnerships such as equity, buyout, venture capital, real estate and other similar funds that invest in the United States and internationally where foreign currencies are hedged. • Hedge funds include limited partnerships that invest both long and short primarily in common stocks and credit, relative value, event-driven equity, distressed debt and macro strategies. Management of the hedge funds has the ability to shift investments from value to growth strategies, from small to large capitalization stocks and bonds, and from a net long position to a net short position. These investments also include Common Collective Trusts and 103-12 Investment Entities as defined in note (3) above and Investment Funds as defined in note (4) above. Plan Asset Allocations Refer to the fair value hierarchy table above for actual assets allocations across the benefit plans. The weighted-average target asset allocations across the benefit plans represented in the fair value tables above were as follows: 2024 Target Allocation Asset Category U.S. Defined Benefit Plans Non-U.S. Defined Post-Retirement Equity-related investments — % 36.4 % — % Debt securities 91.0 % 37.1 % 100.0 % Real estate — % 10.8 % — % Cash and cash equivalents — % 3.1 % — % Other 9.0 % 12.6 % — % Total 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % 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 affect asset allocation changes or to hedge certain investment or liability exposures. The target asset allocation selected for each U.S. plan (pension and post-retirement) 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 to model various potential asset allocations in comparison to each plan’s forecasted liabilities and liquidity needs. Due to the strong funded status for the U.S. Pension Plan, consistent with our policy, steps have been taken to de-risk the portfolio by reallocation of assets to liability hedging fixed-income investments. Outside the United States, asset allocation decisions are typically made by an independent board of trustees for the specific plan. As in the United States, investment objectives are designed to generate returns that will enable the plan to meet its future obligations. HP reviews the investment strategy and where appropriate, can offer some assistance in the selection of investment managers, 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. Retirement Incentive Program As part of the Fiscal 2023 Plan, HP announced a voluntary EER program for its U.S. employees in January 2023. Voluntary participation in the EER program was limited to employees at least 55 years old with 10 or more years of service at HP. Employees accepted into the EER program left HP on dates ranging from March 15, 2023 to October 31, 2023. The U.S. defined benefit pension plan was amended to provide that the EER benefit was to be paid from the plan for eligible electing EER participants. The retirement incentive benefit was calculated as a lump sum based on years of service at HP at the time of retirement, ranging from 20 to 52 weeks of pay. As a result of this retirement incentive, HP recognized a special termination benefit (“STB”) expense of $105 million for the year ended October 31, 2023 as a restructuring charge. This expense is the present value of all additional benefits that HP will distribute from the pension plan assets. All employees participating in the EER program were offered the opportunity to continue health care coverage at the active employee contribution rates for up to 36 months following retirement, but not beyond age 65 when Medicare is available. In addition, HP provided up to $12,000 in employer credits under the Retirement Medical Savings Account program. HP recognized an additional STB expense of $34 million as restructuring and other charges for the year ended October 31, 2023 for the health care incentives. Future Contributions and Funding Policy Our policy is to fund our pension plans so that we meet at least the minimum contribution required by local government, funding and taxing authorities. In fiscal year 2025, we expect to contribute approximately $36 million to non-U.S. pension plans, $30 million to cover benefit payments to U.S. non-qualified plan participants and $4 million to cover benefit claims for our post-retirement benefit plans. Estimated Future Benefits Payments As of October 31, 2024, HP estimates that the future benefits payments for the retirement and post-retirement plans are as follows: Fiscal year U.S. Defined Non-U.S. Post-Retirement In millions 2025 $ 352 $ 53 $ 34 2026 354 56 28 2027 355 58 23 2028 355 60 21 2029 350 65 21 Next five fiscal years to October 31, 2034 1,587 382 97

Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation HP’s stock-based compensation plans include incentive compensation plans and an employee stock purchase plan. Stock-Based Compensation Expense and Related Income Tax Benefits for Operations Stock-based compensation expense and the resulting tax benefits for operations were as follows: For the fiscal years ended October 31 2024 2023 2022 In millions Stock-based compensation expense $ 452 $ 438 $ 343 Income tax benefit (77) (72) (59) Stock-based compensation expense, net of tax $ 375 $ 366 $ 284 Cash received from option exercises under the HP Inc 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2004 SIP”) and the HP Inc. 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2021 ESPP”) was $72 million, $51 million, and $53 million in fiscal year 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The benefit realized for the tax deduction from option exercises in fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $1 million, $2 million and $4 million, respectively. Stock-Based Incentive Compensation Plans HP’s stock-based incentive compensation plan includes equity plan adopted in 2004, as amended and restated (“principal equity plan”). Stock-based awards granted under the equity plan includes restricted stock awards, stock options and performance-based awards. Employees meeting certain employment qualifications are eligible to receive stock-based awards. The aggregate number of shares of HP’s stock authorized for issuance under the principal equity plan is 668.8 million. Restricted stock awards are non-vested stock awards that may include grants of restricted stock or restricted stock units. Restricted stock awards and cash-settled awards are generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the lapse of the restrictions. Such awards generally vest one Stock options granted under the principal equity plan are generally non-qualified stock options, but the principal equity plan permits some options granted to qualify as incentive stock options under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Stock options generally vest over three RSU and stock option grants provide for accelerated vesting in certain circumstances as defined in the plans and related grant agreements, including termination in connection with a change in control. Restricted Stock Units HP uses the closing stock price on the grant date to estimate the fair value of service-based restricted stock units. HP estimates the fair value of restricted stock units subject to performance-adjusted vesting conditions using a combination of the closing stock price on the grant date and a Monte Carlo simulation model. The assumptions used to measure the fair value of restricted stock units subject to performance-adjusted vesting conditions in the Monte Carlo simulation model were as follows: For the fiscal years ended October 31 2024 2023 2022 Expected volatility (1) 33.9 % 44.4 % 41.6 % Risk-free interest rate (2) 4.1 % 4.0 % 1.0 % Expected performance period in years (3) 2.9 2.9 2.9 (1) The expected volatility was estimated using the historical volatility derived from HP’s common stock. (2) The risk-free interest rate was estimated based on the yield on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues. (3) The expected performance period was estimated based on the length of the remaining performance period from the grant date. A summary of restricted stock units activity is as follows: As of October 31 2024 2023 2022 Shares Weighted- Shares Weighted- Shares Weighted- In thousands In thousands In thousands Outstanding at beginning of year 30,209 $ 31 28,688 $ 30 30,197 $ 23 Granted 18,262 $ 32 18,500 $ 31 15,337 $ 36 Vested (14,483) $ 33 (15,291) $ 29 (14,168) $ 22 Forfeited (2,120) $ 31 (1,688) $ 31 (2,678) $ 25 Outstanding at end of year 31,868 $ 30 30,209 $ 31 28,688 $ 30 The total grant date fair value of restricted stock units vested in fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $471 million, $442 million and $314 million, respectively. As of October 31,2024, total unrecognized pre-tax stock-based compensation expense related to non- vested restricted stock units was $414 million, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 1.4 years . Employee Stock Purchase Plan HP sponsors the 2021 ESPP, pursuant to which eligible employees may contribute up to 10% of base compensation, subject to certain income limits, to purchase shares of HP’s common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the 2021 ESPP, employees purchase stock under the 2021 ESPP at a price equal to 95% of HP’s closing stock price on the purchase date. No stock-based compensation expense was recorded in connection with those purchases because the criteria of a non-compensatory plan were met. The aggregate number of shares of HP’s stock authorized for issuance under the 2021 ESPP was 50 million. Shares Reserved Shares available for future grant and shares reserved for future issuance under the stock-based incentive compensation plans and the 2021 ESPP were as follows: As of October 31 2024 2023 2022 In thousands Shares available for future grant 144,553 133,033 174,264 Shares reserved for future issuance 181,463 169,503 208,351

Taxes on Earnings	Taxes on Earnings Provision for Taxes The domestic and foreign components of earnings before taxes were as follows: For the fiscal years ended October 31 h 2024 2023 2022 In millions U.S. $ 537 $ 650 $ 1,406 Non-U.S. 2,742 2,287 2,918 $ 3,279 $ 2,937 $ 4,324 The provision for (benefit from) taxes on earnings was as follows: For the fiscal years ended October 31 2024 2023 2022 In millions U.S. federal taxes: Current $ 245 $ 226 $ 272 Deferred 34 (549) 27 Non-U.S. taxes: Current 357 337 338 Deferred (193) (305) 503 State taxes: Current 33 42 9 Deferred 28 (77) 43 $ 504 $ (326) $ 1,192 The differences between the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate and HP’s effective tax rate were as follows: For the fiscal years ended October 31 2024 2023 2022 U.S. federal statutory income tax rate from continuing operations 21.0 % 21.0 % 21.0 % State income taxes, net of federal tax benefit 2.2 % 1.7 % 1.3 % Impact of foreign earnings including GILTI and FDII, net (0.7) % (1.4) % (7.9) % Valuation allowances (7.1) % (7.3) % 0.3 % Uncertain tax positions and audit settlements 1.0 % 3.2 % 2.8 % Impact of internal reorganization — % (27.4) % 9.4 % Other, net (1.0) % (0.9) % 0.7 % 15.4 % (11.1) % 27.6 % The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% for fiscal year 2024 primarily due to impacts of changes in valuation allowances and favorable tax rates associated with certain earnings from HP's operations in lower-tax jurisdictions throughout the world. In fiscal year 2024, HP recorded $214 million of net income tax benefits related to non-recurring items in the provision for taxes. This amount included $198 million related to changes in valuation allowances, $60 million related to restructuring charges, $14 million related to the filing of tax returns in various jurisdictions, and $11 million related to acquisition charges. These benefits were partially offset by $39 million of uncertain tax position charges and $25 million related to changes in tax rates. In fiscal year 2023, HP recorded $1.1 billion of net income tax benefits related to non-recurring items in the provision for taxes. This amount included $726 million of tax effects related to internal reorganization, $255 million related to changes in valuation allowances, $101 million related to restructuring charges, $58 million related to the filing of tax returns in various jurisdictions, and $42 million related to acquisition charges. These benefits were partially offset by income tax charges of $60 million related to audit settlements in various jurisdictions, $27 million of uncertain tax position charges, and $25 million related to extinguishment of debt. In fiscal year 2022, HP recorded $456 million of net income tax charges related to non-recurring items in the provision for taxes. This amount included $649 million of tax effects related to internal reorganization, $107 million of uncertain tax position charges, $55 million related to withholding taxes on undistributed foreign earnings, $51 million related to audit settlements in various jurisdictions and $26 million of other net tax charges. These charges were partially offset by income tax benefits of $189 million related to the filing of tax returns in various jurisdictions, $156 million related to changes in valuation allowances, $44 million related to restructuring charges, and $43 million related to Poly acquisition charges. In fiscal year 2022, HP recorded excess tax benefits of $33 million associated with stock options, restricted stock units and performance-adjusted restricted stock. 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 2029. The gross income tax benefits attributable to these actions and investments were estimated to be $217 million ($0.22 diluted net EPS) in fiscal year 2024, $190 million ($0.19 diluted net EPS) in fiscal year 2023 and $313 million ($0.30 diluted net EPS) in fiscal year 2022. Uncertain Tax Positions A reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: For the fiscal years ended October 31 2024 2023 2022 In millions Balance at beginning of year $ 1,137 $ 1,045 $ 829 Increases: For current year’s tax positions 82 61 26 For prior years’ tax positions 52 186 299 Decreases: For prior years’ tax positions (9) (35) (60) Statute of limitations expirations (33) (8) (5) Settlements with taxing authorities (12) (112) (44) Balance at end of year $ 1,217 $ 1,137 $ 1,045 As of October 31, 2024, the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits was $1.2 billion, of which up to $853 million would affect HP’s effective tax rate if realized. Total gross unrecognized tax benefits increased by $80 million for the twelve months ended October 31, 2024. HP recognizes interest income from favorable settlements and interest expense and penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. As of October 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, HP had accrued $135 million, $102 million and $64 million, respectively, for interest and penalties. HP engages in continuous discussions and negotiations with taxing authorities regarding tax matters in various jurisdictions. HP expects complete resolution of certain tax years with various tax authorities within the next 12 months. HP believes it is reasonably possible that its existing gross unrecognized tax benefits may be reduced by up to $190 million within the next 12 months, affecting HP’s effective tax rate if realized. HP is subject to income tax in the United States and approximately 61 other countries and is subject to routine corporate income tax audits in many of these jurisdictions. In addition, HP is subject to numerous ongoing audits by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. The IRS is conducting an audit of HP’s 2018 and 2019 income tax returns. With respect to major state and foreign tax jurisdictions, HP is no longer subject to tax authority examinations for years prior to 2007. No material tax deficiencies have been assessed in major state or foreign tax jurisdictions related to ongoing audits as of October 31, 2024. HP believes it has provided adequate reserves for all tax deficiencies or reductions in tax benefits that could result from federal, state and foreign tax audits. HP regularly assesses the likely outcomes of these audits in order to determine the appropriateness of HP’s tax provision. HP adjusts its uncertain tax positions to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular audit. However, income tax audits are inherently unpredictable and there can be no assurance that HP will accurately predict the outcome of these audits. The amounts ultimately paid on resolution of an audit could be materially different from the amounts previously included in the Provision for taxes and therefore the resolution of one or more of these uncertainties in any particular period could have a material impact on net income or cash flows. HP has not provided for U.S. federal income and foreign withholding taxes on $5.1 billion of undistributed earnings from non-U.S. operations as of October 31, 2024 because HP intends to reinvest such earnings indefinitely outside of the United States. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to these earnings is not practicable. Deferred Income Taxes The significant components of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities were as follows: As of October 31 2024 2023 In millions Deferred tax assets: Loss and credit carryforwards $ 7,050 $ 7,194 Intercompany transactions—excluding inventory 357 540 Fixed assets 113 110 Warranty 100 124 Employee and retiree benefits 242 232 Deferred revenue 240 250 Capitalized research and development 1,014 821 Operating lease liabilities 272 242 Investment in partnership 710 703 Other 395 469 Gross deferred tax assets 10,493 10,685 Valuation allowances (6,688) (6,994) Total deferred tax assets 3,805 3,691 Deferred tax liabilities: Unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries (107) (88) Right-of-use assets from operating leases (235) (223) Intangible assets (159) (205) Cash flow hedges (24) (64) Total deferred tax liabilities (525) (580) Net deferred tax assets $ 3,280 $ 3,111 Deferred tax assets and liabilities included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows: As of October 31 2024 2023 In millions Deferred tax assets $ 3,311 $ 3,155 Deferred tax liabilities (31) (44) Total $ 3,280 $ 3,111 As of October 31, 2024, HP had recorded deferred tax assets for net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards as follows: Gross NOLs Deferred Taxes on NOLs Valuation allowance Initial Year of Expiration In millions Federal $ 69 $ 15 $ (3) 2025 State 1,955 107 (32) 2025 Foreign 24,615 6,803 (6,246) 2028 Balance at end of year $ 26,639 $ 6,925 $ (6,281) As of October 31, 2024, HP had recorded deferred tax assets for various tax credit carryforwards as follows: Carryforward Valuation Initial In millions Tax credits in state and foreign jurisdictions $ 305 $ (36) 2025 Balance at end of year $ 305 $ (36) Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance The deferred tax asset valuation allowance and changes were as follows: For the fiscal years ended October 31 2024 2023 2022 In millions Balance at beginning of year $ 6,994 $ 7,592 $ 7,749 Income tax (benefit) expense (300) (650) (274) Goodwill, other comprehensive loss (income), currency translation and charges to other accounts (6) 52 117 Balance at end of year $ 6,688 $ 6,994 $ 7,592 Gross deferred tax assets as of October 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 were reduced by valuation allowances of $6.7 billion, $7.0 billion and $7.6 billion, respectively. In fiscal year 2024, the deferred tax asset valuation allowance decreased by $306 million primarily due to an increase in the expected utilization of foreign net operating losses. In fiscal year 2023, the deferred tax asset valuation allowance decreased by $598 million primarily due to internal reorganization impacting foreign net operating losses and U.S. deferred tax assets that are anticipated to be realized at a lower effective rate than the federal statutory rate. In fiscal year 2022, the deferred tax asset valuation allowance decreased by $157 million primarily due to a reduction in the expected utilization of foreign net operating losses, U.S. deferred tax assets that are anticipated to be realized at a lower effective tax rate than the federal statutory tax rate, and the impact of the acquisition of Poly on the company’s deferred tax assets.

Accounts Receivable The allowance for credit losses related to accounts receivable and changes were as follows: For the fiscal years ended October 31 2024 2023 2022 In millions Balance at beginning of period $ 93 $ 107 $ 111 Current-period allowance for credit losses 3 (2) 7 Deductions, net of recoveries (13) (12) (11) Balance at end of period $ 83 $ 93 $ 107 HP utilizes certain third-party arrangements in the normal course of business as part of HPs cash and liquidity management and also to provide liquidity to certain partners to facilitate their working capital requirements. These financing arrangements, which in certain circumstances may contain partial recourse, result in a transfer of HP’s receivables and risk to the third-party. As these transfers qualify as true sales under the applicable accounting guidance, the receivables are de-recognized from the Consolidated Balance Sheets upon transfer, and HP receives a payment for the receivables from the third-party within a mutually agreed upon time period. For arrangements involving an element of recourse, the recourse obligation is measured using market data from the similar transactions and reported as a current liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The recourse obligations as of October 31, 2024 and 2023 were not material.

HP expects to recognize approximately $1.7 billion of the unearned amount in next 12 months and $2.2 billion thereafter. HP has elected the practical expedients and accordingly does not disclose the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if: • the contract has an original expected duration of one year or less; or • the revenue from the performance obligation is recognized over time on an as-invoiced basis when the amount corresponds directly with the value to the customer; or • the portion of the transaction price that is variable in nature is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. The remaining performance obligations are subject to change and may be affected by various factors, such as termination of contracts, contract modifications and adjustment for currency. Costs of Obtaining Contracts and Fulfillment Cost As of October 31, 2024, deferred contract fulfillment and acquisition costs balances were $36 million and $50 million, respectively, included in Other current assets and Other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024, the Company amortized $86 million of these costs. As of October 31, 2023, deferred contract fulfillment and acquisition costs balances were $35 million and $44 million, respectively, included in Other current assets and Other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, the Company amortized $88 million of these costs. Contract Liabilities As of October 31, 2024 and 2023, HP’s contract liabilities balances were $2.9 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively, included in Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The increase in the contract liabilities balance for the fiscal year 2024 was primarily driven by sales of fixed-price support and maintenance services, partially offset by $1.4 billion of revenue recognized that were included in the contract liabilities balance as of October 31, 2023. As of October 31, 2023 and 2022, HP’s contract liabilities balances were $2.7 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively, included in Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The increase in the contract liabilities balance for the fiscal year 2023 was primarily driven by sales of fixed-price support and maintenance services, partially offset by $1.3 billion of revenue recognized that were included in the contract liabilities balance as of October 31, 2022. Supplier Finance Program s HP facilitates voluntary supplier finance programs to provide certain suppliers the opportunity to sell their right to HP’s payment obligations to participating financial institutions. Under this program, HP agrees to pay the participating financial institutions the stated amount of confirmed invoices from its designated suppliers on the original maturity dates of the invoices. Participation by suppliers in these programs have no impact on the payment terms and amounts due from HP. HP does not have an economic interest in a supplier's participation in the program and is not a party to the agreement between the supplier and the financial institutions. In connection with these programs, HP does not pledge assets or other forms of guarantees as security for the committed payment to the participating financial institutions. For certain programs, HP pays a monthly service fee to a third-party administrato r that provides the supplier finance platform and related support. HP and the participating financial institutions may terminate the agreement upon at least 30 days notice. As of October 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, HP had $7.8 billion and $6.6 billion, respectively, in obligations outstanding (i.e., unpaid invoices) that were confirmed as valid under the supplier finance programs. Of the amounts confirmed as valid under the program and outstanding, the amounts owed to participating financial institutions were $0.9 billion as of both October 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, respectively. These obligations are included within the Accounts payable .

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value	Fair Value Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair Value Hierarchy HP uses valuation techniques that are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are developed using market data such as publicly available information and reflect the assumptions market participants would use, while unobservable inputs are developed using the best information available about the assumptions market participants would use. Assets and liabilities are classified in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement: Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2—Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and market-corroborated inputs. Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to observable inputs and lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The following table presents HP’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis: As of October 31, 2024 As of October 31, 2023 Fair Value Measured Using Fair Value Measured Using Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total In millions Assets: Cash Equivalents Corporate debt $ — $ 1,012 $ — $ 1,012 $ — $ 589 $ — $ 589 Government debt (1) 1,332 — — 1,332 1,900 — — 1,900 Available-for-Sale Investments Financial institution instruments — 3 — 3 — 3 — 3 Marketable securities and mutual funds (2) 54 130 — 184 33 45 — 78 Derivative Instruments Interest rate contracts — 4 — 4 — — — — Foreign currency contracts — 225 — 225 — 489 — 489 Total assets $ 1,386 $ 1,374 $ — $ 2,760 $ 1,933 $ 1,126 $ — $ 3,059 Liabilities: Derivative Instruments Interest rate contracts $ — $ 22 $ — $ 22 $ — $ 58 $ — $ 58 Foreign currency contracts — 158 — 158 — 212 — 212 Other derivatives — 2 — 2 — 2 — 2 Total liabilities $ — $ 182 $ — $ 182 $ — $ 272 $ — $ 272 (1) Government debt includes instruments such as U.S. treasury notes, U.S. agency securities and non-U.S. government bonds. Money market funds invested in government debt and traded in active markets are included in Level 1. (2) As of October 31, 2024, $78 million of debt securities were restricted to fund benefits received by qualifying employees under a sponsored defined benefit plan. Valuation Techniques Cash Equivalents and Investments: HP holds time deposits, money market funds, mutual funds, other debt securities primarily consisting of corporate and foreign government notes and bonds, and common stock and equivalents. HP values cash equivalents and equity investments using quoted market prices, alternative pricing sources, including net asset value, or models utilizing market observable inputs. The fair value of debt investments is 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 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, and forward and spot prices for currencies and interest rates. See Note 10, “Financial Instruments” for a further discussion of HP’s use of derivative instruments. Other Fair Value Disclosures Short- and Long-Term Debt: HP estimates the fair value of its debt primarily using an expected present value technique, which is based on observable market inputs using interest rates currently available to companies of similar credit standing for similar terms and remaining maturities and considering its own credit risk. The portion of HP’s debt that is hedged is reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as an amount equal to the debt’s carrying amount and a fair value adjustment representing changes in the fair value of the hedged debt obligations arising from movements in benchmark interest rates. The fair value of HP’s short- and long-term debt was $9.4 billion as compared to its carrying amount of $9.7 billion as of October 31, 2024. The fair value of HP’s short- and long-term debt was $8.5 billion as compared to its carrying value of $9.5 billion at October 31, 2023. 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 included in Other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. If measured at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, these other financial instruments would be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Non-Marketable Equity Investments and Non-Financial Assets: HP’s non-marketable equity investments are measured at cost less impairment, adjusted for observable price changes. HP’s non-financial assets, such as intangible assets, goodwill 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 within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

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, 2024 and 2023, 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 $78 million in fiscal year 2024, $67 million in fiscal year 2023, and $46 million in fiscal year 2022. The estimated fair value of the available-for-sale investments may not be representative of values that will be realized in the future. Contractual maturities of investments in available-for-sale debt securities were as follows: As of October 31, 2024 Amortized Fair Value In millions Due in less than one year $ 19 $ 19 Due in one to five years 62 62 $ 81 $ 81 Non-marketable equity securities in privately held companies are included in Other current and non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These amounted to $107 million and $111 million as of October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. HP determines credit losses on cash equivalents and available-for-sale debt securities at the individual security level. All instruments are considered investment grade. No credit-related or noncredit-related impairment losses were recorded in fiscal year 2024. Derivative Instruments HP uses derivative instruments, primarily forward contracts, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, treasury rate locks, forward starting swaps and option contracts to offset business exposure to foreign currency and interest rate risk on expected future cash flows and on certain existing assets and liabilities. HP may designate its derivative contracts as fair value hedges or cash flow hedges and classifies the cash flows with the activities that correspond to the underlying hedged items. 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. As a result of its use of derivative instruments, HP is exposed to the risk that its counterparties will fail to meet their contractual obligations. Master netting agreements mitigate credit exposure to counterparties by permitting HP to net amounts due from HP to counterparty against amounts due to HP from the same counterparty under certain conditions. To further limit credit risk, HP has collateral security agreements that allow HP’s custodian to hold collateral from, or require HP to post collateral to, counterparties when the net fair value of financial instruments fluctuates. The Company includes gross collateral posted and received in other current assets and other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively. The fair value of derivatives with credit contingent features in a net liability position was $59 million and $91 million as of October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, all of which were fully collateralized within two 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, 2024 and 2023. Fair Value Hedges HP enters into fair value hedges, such as interest rate swaps, to reduce the exposure of its debt portfolio to changes in fair value resulting from changes in benchmark interest rates on HP’s future interest payments. 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, option contracts, treasury rate locks and forward starting swaps designated as cash flow hedges to protect against the foreign currency exchange and interest rate risks inherent in its forecasted products net revenue, cost of products net revenue, operating expenses and debt issuance. HP’s foreign currency cash flow hedges mature predominantly within twelve months; however, hedges related to long-term procurement arrangements, contractual pricing and/or business unit specific exposures may extend several years. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, HP initially records changes in fair value of the derivative instrument in Accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of Stockholders’ deficit 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 changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument in the same financial statement line item as changes in the fair value of the hedged item. During fiscal 2024, HP entered into a series of forward starting swap agreements with notional amounts totaling $500 million to hedge the exposure to variability in future cash flows resulting from changes in interest rates related to the anticipated issuance of long-term debt. These agreements were designated as cash flow hedges. 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 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, forward contracts and forward starting swaps designated as cash flow hedges, HP measures hedge effectiveness by comparing the cumulative change in fair value of the hedge contract with the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item, both of which are based on forward rates. During fiscal year 2024 and 2023, no portion of the hedging instruments’ gain or loss was excluded from the assessment of effectiveness for fair value and cash flow hedges.

As disclosed in Note 10, “Financial Instruments”, HP uses interest rate swaps to mitigate some of the exposure of its debt portfolio to changes in fair value resulting from changes in benchmark interest rates. Interest rates shown in the table of long-term debt have not been adjusted to reflect the impact of any interest rate swaps. As of October 31, 2024, aggregate future maturities of debt at face value (excluding unamortized debt issuance cost of $47 million, discounts on debt issuance of $11 million and fair value adjustment related to hedged debt of $21 million), including other borrowings were as follows: Fiscal year In millions 2025 $ 1,419 2026 720 2027 1,133 2028 972 2029 1,023 Thereafter 4,481 Total $ 9,748 Commercial Paper As of October 31, 2024, HP maintained a U.S. commercial paper program for the issuance of U.S. dollar-denominated commercial paper up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $6.0 billion. The principal amount outstanding under this program and certain short-term borrowings at any time cannot exceed a $6.0 billion authorization by HP’s Board of Directors. Credit Facilities As of October 31, 2024, HP maintained a $5.0 billion 5-year sustainability-linked senior unsecured committed revolving credit facility (the “New Revolving Facility”), which HP entered into on August 1, 2024. Commitments under the New Revolving Facility will be available until August 1, 2029. Commitment fees, interest rates and other terms of borrowing under the New Revolving Facility vary based on HP’s external credit ratings and certain sustainability metrics. Funds borrowed under the New Revolving Facility may be used for general corporate purposes. As of October 31, 2023, HP had maintained a $5.0 billion sustainability-linked senior unsecured committed revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes. I n March 2024, the $1.0 billion senior unsecured committed 364-day revolving credit facility matured in accordance with its terms. Additionally, commitments under the previous $5.0 billion sustainability-linked senior unsecured committed revolving credit facility were terminated concurrently with the execution of the New Revolving Facility. As of October 31, 2024, HP was in compliance with the covenants in the credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility. Available Borrowing Resources As of October 31, 2024, HP had available borrowing resources of $0.9 billion from uncommitted lines of credit in addition to funds available under the revolving credit facility.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share HP calculates basic net EPS using net earnings and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted net EPS includes any dilutive effect of restricted stock units, stock options, performance-based awards and shares purchased under the 2021 employee stock purchase plan. A reconciliation of the number of shares used for basic and diluted net EPS calculations is as follows: For the fiscal years ended October 31 2024 2023 2022 In millions, except per share amounts Numerator: Net earnings $ 2,775 $ 3,263 $ 3,132 Denominator: Weighted-average shares used to compute basic net EPS 979 992 1,038 Dilutive effect of employee stock plans 10 8 12 Weighted-average shares used to compute diluted net EPS 989 1,000 1,050 Net earnings per share: Basic $ 2.83 $ 3.29 $ 3.02 Diluted $ 2.81 $ 3.26 $ 2.98 Anti-dilutive weighted-average stock-based compensation awards (1) 1 4 4 (1) HP excludes from the calculation of diluted net EPS stock options and restricted stock units where the assumed proceeds exceed the average market price, because their effect would be anti-dilutive. The assumed proceeds of a stock option include the sum of its exercise price, and average unrecognized compensation cost. The assumed proceeds of a restricted stock unit represent unrecognized compensation cost.

Litigation and Contingencies

Loss Contingency [Abstract]
Litigation and Contingencies	Litigation and Contingencies HP is involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, including those identified below, consisting of 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, 2024, it was not reasonably possible that a material loss had been incurred in excess of the amounts recognized in HP’s financial statements. HP reviews these matters at least quarterly and adjusts its accruals to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Pursuant to the separation and distribution agreement entered into with Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (“Hewlett Packard Enterprise”), HP shares responsibility with Hewlett Packard Enterprise for certain matters, as indicated below, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise has agreed to indemnify HP in whole or in part with respect to certain matters. Based on its experience, HP believes that any damage amounts claimed in the specific matters discussed below are not a meaningful indicator of HP’s potential liability. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. However, HP believes it has valid defenses with respect to legal matters pending against it. Nevertheless, cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the resolution of one or more of these contingencies. Litigation, Proceedings and Investigations Copyright Levies . Proceedings are ongoing or have been concluded involving HP in certain European countries, challenging the imposition or the modification of levies regimes upon IT equipment (such as PCs or printers) or the restrictions to exonerate the application of private copying levies on devices purchased by business users. The levies are generally based upon the number of products sold and the per-product amounts of the levies, which vary. Some European countries are expected to implement legislation to introduce or extend existing levy schemes to digital devices. HP, other companies and various industry associations have opposed the extension of levies to the digital product and certain requirements for business sales exemptions and have advocated alternative models of compensation to rights holders. Based on the exemption of levies on business sales and industry opposition to increasing 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 ongoing disputes. India Directorate of Revenue Intelligence Proceedings . On April 30 and May 10, 2010, the India Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (the “DRI”) issued show cause notices to Hewlett-Packard India Sales Private Limited (“HP India”), a subsidiary of HP, seven HP India employees and one former HP India employee alleging that HP India underpaid customs duties while importing products and spare parts into India and seeking to recover an aggregate of approximately $370 million, plus penalties and interest. Prior to the issuance of the 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 or interrupt business by HP India. On April 11, 2012, the Bangalore Commissioner of Customs issued an order on the products-related notice affirming certain duties and penalties against HP India and the named individuals of approximately $386 million, of which HP India had already deposited $9 million. On December 11, 2012, HP India voluntarily deposited an additional $10 million in connection with the products-related notice. The differential duty demand is subject to interest. On April 20, 2012, the Commissioner issued an order on the parts-related notice affirming certain duties and penalties against HP India and certain of the named individuals of approximately $17 million, of which HP India had already deposited $7 million. After the order, HP India deposited an additional $3 million in connection with the parts-related notice so as to avoid certain penalties. HP India filed appeals of the Commissioner’s orders before the Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (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 o rdered HP India to deposit an additional $24 million against the products order, which HP India deposited in March 2013. On February 7, 2014, the Customs Tribunal granted HP India’s application for extension of the stay of deposit until disposal of the appeals. On October 27, 2014, the Customs Tribunal commenced hearings on the cross-appeals of the Commissioner’s orders and rejected HP India’ s request to remand the matter to the Commissioner on procedural grounds. The Customs Tribunal cancelled hearings to reconvene in 2015 , 2016 and January 2019. On January 20, 2021, the Customs Tribunal held a virtual hearing during which the judge allowed HP’s application for a physical hearing on the merits as soon as practicable, which will be scheduled when physical hearings resume at court. Pursuant to the separation and distribution agreement, Hewlett Packard Enterprise has agreed to indemnify HP in part, base d on the extent to which any liability arises from the products and spare parts of Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s businesses. Philips Patent Litigation . In September 2020, Koninklijke Philips N.V. and Philips North America LLC (collectively, “Philips”) filed a complaint against HP for patent infringement in federal court for the District of Delaware and filed a companion complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission (“ITC”) pursuant to Section 337 of the Tariff Act against HP and 8 other sets of respondents. Both complaints allege that certain digital video-capable devices and components thereof infringe four of Philips’ patents. In October 2020, the ITC instituted an investigation, and Philips later withdrew two of the four patents. On March 23, 2022, the ITC rendered a final determination that no violation of Section 337 has occurred. Philips did not appeal and elected to resume litigation with its case in federal court. Philips seeks unspecified damages and an injunction against HP, and the prior stay has been lifted . On August 10, 2023, HP filed a motion for summary judgment of indefiniteness for all asserted claims. On July 1, 2024, the district court denied the motion without prejudice to renew. York County on behalf of the County of York Retirement Fund v. HP Inc., et al., and related proceedings . On November 5, 2020, York County, on behalf of the County of York Retirement Fund, filed a putative class action complaint against HP, Dion Weisler, and Catherine Lesjak in federal court in the Northern District of California. The court appointed Maryland Electrical Industry Pension Fund as Lead Plaintiff. Lead Plaintiff filed a consolidated complaint, which additionally names as defendants Enrique Lores and Richard Bailey. The complaint alleges, among other things, that from November 5, 2015 to June 21, 2016, HP and the named current and former officers violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act by concealing material information and making false statements about HP’s printing supplies business (“Securities Class Action”). Plaintiffs seek compensatory damages and other relief. HP and the named officers filed a motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. On March 3, 2022, the court granted the motion to dismiss with prejudice. Plaintiffs appealed the decision. On April 11, 2023, the appellate court reversed the district court’s decision and remanded the case to the district court for further proceedings consistent with the appellate opinion, including consideration of HP’s other arguments for dismissal. On July 21, 2023, HP and the named officers filed a renewed motion to dismiss. On March 27, 2024, the district court issued an order granting in part and denying in part the motion to dismiss. On August 8, 2024, the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit granted HP’s petition for permission to appeal. On October 28, 2024, HP filed its appeal. On May 17, 2021, stockholder Scott Franklin filed a derivative complaint against certain current and former officers and directors in federal court in the District of Delaware. Plaintiff purports to bring the action on behalf of HP, which he has named as a nominal defendant, and he makes substantially the same factual allegations as in the York County securities complaint, bringing claims for breach of fiduciary duty and violations of securities laws. The derivative plaintiff seeks compensatory damages, governance reforms, and other relief. By court order following stipulations by the parties, the case was transferred to the Northern District of California, and the case was stayed pending a ruling on the motion to dismiss in York County and exhaustion of all related appeals. On January 13, 2022, stockholder Gerald Lovoi filed a derivative complaint in federal court in the Northern District of California against the same current and former officers and directors named in the Franklin action. The complaint alleges the same basic claims based on the same alleged conduct as the Franklin action and seeks similar relief. By stipulation of the parties, the Lovoi action was stayed pending a ruling on the motion to dismiss in York County and exhaustion of all related appeals. On May 31, 2024, the court adopted a stipulation in which the derivative plaintiffs and defendants agreed to consolidate the derivative proceedings, close the Lovoi action, and extend the current stay through summary judgment in the Securities Class Action. Legal Proceedings re Authentication of Supplies. Since 2016, HP has from time to time been named in civil litigation, or been the subject of government investigations, involving supplies authentication protocols used in certain HP printers in multiple geographies, including but not limited to the United States, Italy, Israel, the Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand. The supplies authentication protocols are often referred to as Dynamic Security. The core allegations in these proceedings claim misleading or inadequate consumer notifications and permissions pertaining to the use of Dynamic Security, the installation of firmware updates, or the potential inability of cartridges with clone chips or circuitry to work in HP printers with Dynamic Security. Plaintiffs base or have based their claims on various legal theories, including but not limited to unfair competition, computer trespass, and similar statutory claims. Among other relief, Plaintiffs have sought or seek money damages and in certain cases have or may seek injunctive relief against the use or operation of Dynamic Security or relief requiring interoperability. If HP is not successful in its defense of these cases or investigations, it could be subject to damages, penalties, significant settlement demands, or injunctive relief that may be costly or may disrupt operations. Certain of these proceedings in the United States, Italy, the Netherlands, Israel, Australia and New Zealand have been resolved, have concluded, or have concluded subject only to HP’s pending appeal. Civil litigation filed by Digital Revolution B.V. (trading as 123Inkt) against HP Nederlands B.V., et al. (Netherlands) in March 2020, including its competition claim, remains pending. Both parties appealed, and the court of appeal issued a judgment on November 19, 2024, rejecting competition claims against HP and providing that use of Dynamic Security by HP is not unlawful. In addition, two putative class actions have been filed against HP in federal court in California, in December 2020, April 2022, and one in federal court in Illinois, in January 2024, arising out of the use of Dynamic Security firmware updates in HP Laserjet printers, in HP Inkjet printers, and in both, respectively. Plaintiffs in these cases seek compensatory damages, restitution, injunctive relief against alleged unfair and anticompetitive business practices, and other relief. In the April 2022 case, plaintiffs have filed a stipulation on October 30, 2024 to have the case dismissed with prejudice for their individual claims and without prejudice for the class claims. In the December 2020 case, the parties have finalized a settlement agreement, which plaintiffs submitted to the court on October 31, 2024 along with a motion seeking preliminary approval. The January 2024 case is in its early stages. Autonomy-Related Legal Proceedings. In 2015, four former Hewlett Packard Company subsidiaries that became subsidiaries of Hewlett Packard Enterprise at the time of the Separation (Autonomy Corporation Limited, Hewlett Packard Vision BV, Autonomy Systems Limited, and Autonomy, Inc., hereinafter the “Claimants”) initiated civil proceedings in the U.K. High Court of Justice against two members of Autonomy’s former management, Michael Lynch and Sushovan Hussain, for breach of their fiduciary duties in causing Autonomy group companies to engage in improper transactions and accounting practices before and in connection with the 2011 acquisition of Autonomy. Trial concluded in January 2020. In May 2022, the court issued its liability judgment, finding that the Claimants had succeeded on substantially all claims and that Messrs. Lynch and Hussein engaged in fraud, and dismissing a counterclaim filed by Mr. Lynch. The court deferred the issue of damages to further proceedings, but indicated that damages awarded may be substantially less than was claimed. In February 2024, the court held a two-week trial on damages, the Claimants sought recovery for $4 billion in losses, and the court took the issue under advisement. Litigation is unpredictable, and there can be no assurance of a recovery of damages or as to how any award of damages will compare with the amount claimed. The amount ultimately awarded, if any, would be recorded in the period received. No adjustment has been recorded in the financial statements in relation to this potential award. Pursuant to the terms of the separation and distribution agreement, HP and Hewlett Packard Enterprise will share equally in any recovery. Nokia Patent Litigation . On October 31, 2023, Nokia filed a complaint for patent infringement against HP in federal court for the District of Delaware asserting ten patents and filed two companion complaints with the U.S. International Trade Commission (“ITC”) pursuant to Section 337 of the Tariff Act against HP, asserting seven of the ten patents asserted in the federal court case. The complaints allege that HP products that are compliant with certain video coding technology standards, including Advanced Video Coding (H.264) or High Efficiency Video Coding (H.265) standards, infringe Nokia’s patents. In November 2023, the ITC instituted investigations on Nokia’s complaints. On December 11, 2023, HP filed counterclaims against Nokia in the Delaware action, including claims that Nokia violated its commitments to license standard-essential patents on fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (“FRAND”) terms, and seeking a court determination of the proper FRAND rate. Nokia’s patent litigation against HP also includes a lawsuit filed in November 2023 against HP and six of its subsidiaries in the European Unified Patent Court (“UPC”) in Germany, 2 lawsuits filed in November 2023 but served in January 2024 against HP and its German subsidiary in state court in Munich, Germany, and a lawsuit filed on December 1, 2023, against a subsidiary, HP Brasil Indústria e Comércio de Equipamentos Eletrônicos Ltda. (“HP Brazil”), in the state court in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. In Brazil, Nokia alleged that HP’s products contain “skip mode” technology compatible with H.264 video standards that infringes one of Nokia’s Brazilian patents. On December 4, 2023, before HP had received service of the lawsuit, the court granted Nokia an ex parte preliminary injunction against HP Brazil’s commercialization of such products in Brazil. HP appealed the injunction and asked the appellate court to suspend its enforcement. On August 14, 2024, the Brazilian appellate court denied HP’s interlocutory appeal of the preliminary injunction, leaving it unchanged because HP allegedly faces no immediate harm. On January 31, 2024, HP Brazil filed its defense and separately filed a nullity action to invalidate the patent. From July 24-31, 2024, the ITC held the hearing in the first investigation. In the second ITC investigation, the hearing was held September 9-13, 2024. In October, Nokia and HP reached agreement to resolve all patent litigation between the parties, and all pending proceedings are in the process of being dismissed. R2 Semiconductor Patent Litigation. In November 2022, R2 Semiconductor, Inc. (“R2”) filed a lawsuit in the Dusseldorf Regional Court in Germany against Intel Deutschland GmbH, HP Deutschland GmbH and certain other Intel customers. R2 asserts one European patent is infringed by HP’s products that contain certain Intel processors. R2 seeks an injunction prohibiting the sale of the alleged infringing products. Intel has agreed to defend and indemnify HP and its affiliates against certain losses incurred by HP in connection with the alleged infringement. The Dusseldorf Regional Court conducted a trial on December 7, 2023 and issued an adverse judgment on February 7, 2024. The Court’s judgment imposes an injunction prohibiting sales of the accused products in Germany, an order to stop all other infringing actions, and an order to issue a communication to commercial customers recalling the relevant products sold since March 5, 2020, which could take effect upon notice of R2’s payment of the required sureties and remain in place unless stayed or overturned on appeal or the parties reach an agreement. On February 8, 2024, HP filed an appeal and request for a stay of the judgment pending appeal. On April 3, 2024, R2 filed a lawsuit in France in the first instance court in Paris (Tribunal judiciare de Paris) against Intel Corporation, Intel Corporation SAS, Intel Deutschland GmbH, HP France SAS and certain other Intel customers. R2 asserts the same European patent is infringed. In August 2024, Intel finalized agreements with R2 and related parties resolving all litigation. All pending litigation against HP has been dismissed. Litigation with Access Advance Patent Pool regarding video codecs. Access Advance LLC (“Access Advance”) is an independent licensing administrator formed to license allegedly essential patents for standards-based video codecs, which it licenses through various licensing pools. In late 2023, three members of Access Advance’s HEVC Advance patent pool, Dolby, Mitsubishi Electric (“Mitsubishi”) and Konikijke Philips N.V. (“Philips”), each filed patent infringement lawsuits against HP and various affiliates in Germany and Europe. The complaints alleged that HP products that are compliant with the High Efficiency Video Coding (H.265) standard infringe the pool members' respective patents, sought an injunction, and alleged that HP has failed to act as a willing licensee of HEVC essential patents based on HP's negotiations with Access Advance. In July 2024, HP filed a countersuit against Access Advance, Mitsubishi, Philips, and Dolby in Massachusetts state court alleging that they breached their obligations to license their patents on reasonable and nondiscriminatory terms and asked the court to order the defendants to offer a license to their patents on such terms. In October 2024, Access Advance and HP reached agreement to resolve all pending litigation, which is in the process of being dismissed. An immaterial issue with Access Advance will be decided by a third party. Environmental HP is, and may become a party to, proceedings brought by U.S., state, or other governmental entities or private third parties under federal, state, local, or foreign environmental laws, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), known as “Superfund,” or state laws similar to CERCLA. HP is also conducting environmental investigations or remediation at several current or former operating sites and former disposal sites pursuant to administrative orders or consent agreements with environmental agencies.

Guarantees and Product Warranties [Abstract]
Guarantees, Indemnifications and Warranties	Guarantees, Indemnifications and Warranties Guarantees In the ordinary course of business, HP may issue performance guarantees to certain of its clients, customers and other parties pursuant to which HP has guaranteed the performance obligations of third parties. Some of those guarantees may be backed by standby letters of credit or surety bonds. In general, HP would be obligated to perform over the term of the guarantee in the event a specified triggering event occurs as defined by the guarantee. HP believes the likelihood of having to perform under a material guarantee is remote. Cross-Indemnifications with Hewlett Packard Enterprise On November 1, 2015, Hewlett-Packard Company completed the separation of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Hewlett-Packard Company’s former enterprise technology infrastructure, software, services and financing businesses. The separation and distribution agreement provides for cross-indemnities between HP and Hewlett Packard Enterprise for liabilities allocated to the respective party pursuant to the terms of such agreement. For information on cross-indemnifications with Hewlett Packard Enterprise for litigation matters, see Note 14, “Litigation and Contingencies”. 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 intellectual property 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. HP records tax indemnification receivables from various third parties for certain tax liabilities that HP is jointly and severally liable for, but for which it is indemnified by those same third parties under existing legal agreements. HP records a tax indemnification payable to various third parties under these agreements when management believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The actual amount that the third parties pay or may be obligated to pay HP could vary depending on the outcome of certain unresolved tax matters, which may not be resolved for several years. Warranties HP accrues the estimated cost of product warranties at the time it recognizes revenue. HP engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of its component suppliers; however, contractual warranty terms, repair costs, product call rates, average cost per call, current period product shipments and ongoing product failure rates, as well as specific product class failures outside of HP’s baseline experience, affect the estimated warranty obligation. HP’s aggregate product warranty liabilities and changes were as follows: For the fiscal years ended October 31 2024 2023 In millions Balance at beginning of year $ 706 $ 876 Accruals for warranties issued 721 689 Adjustments related to pre-existing warranties (including changes in estimates) 30 17 Settlements made (in cash or in kind) (907) (876) Balance at end of year $ 550 $ 706

Leases

Leases	12 Months Ended

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	Leases As a lessee, HP determines, at lease inception, whether or not an arrangement contains a lease. A significant portion of the operating lease portfolio includes real estate leases. Additionally, HP has identified embedded operating leases within certain outsourced supply chain contracts. Leasing arrangements have a remaining lease term ranging from 2 to approximately 11 years with varying renewal and termination options. Substantially all of HP’s leases are considered operating leases. Finance leases, short-term leases and sub-lease income were not material as of October 31, 2024 and 2023 or for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that HP will exercise such options. HP generally considers the economic life of the ROU assets to be comparable to the useful life of similar owned assets. HP’s leases generally do not provide a residual guarantee. Operating leases are included in Other non-current assets Other current liabilities Other non-current liabilities As most of the leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, HP uses the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date of a lease in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is determined based on the rate of interest that HP would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term. HP uses the unsecured borrowing rate and risk-adjusts that rate to approximate a collateralized rate. HP has elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components as a single lease element for its real estate leases and certain outsourced warehousing contracts in calculating the ROU assets and lease liabilities. Where HP chooses not to combine the lease and non-lease components, HP allocates contract consideration to the lease and non-lease components based on relative standalone prices. HP reviews the impairment of the ROU assets consistent with the approach applied for other long-lived assets. The components of lease expense are as follows: For the fiscal years ended October 31 2024 2023 In millions Operating lease cost $ 230 $ 234 Variable cost 106 102 Total lease expense $ 336 $ 336 All lease expenses, including variable lease costs, are primarily included in Cost of net revenue and Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings based on the use of the facilities. Variable lease expense relates primarily to leased real estate utilized for office space and outsourced warehousing. These costs primarily include adjustments for inflation, payments dependent on a rate or index or usage of asset and common area maintenance charges. These costs are not included in the lease liability and are recognized in the period in which they are incurred. The following table presents supplemental information relating to the cash flows arising from lease transactions. Cash payments made from variable lease costs and short-term leases are not included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities, and, as such, are excluded from the amounts below: For the fiscal years ended October 31 2024 2023 In millions Cash paid for amount included in the measurement of lease liabilities $ 233 $ 231 Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange of lease liabilities (1) $ 411 $ 312 (1) Includes the impact of new leases as well as remeasurements and modifications to existing leases. Weighted-average information associated with the measurement of our remaining operating lease liabilities is as follows: As of October 31 2024 2023 Weighted-average remaining lease term in years 4.1 4.5 Weighted-average discount rate 6.5 % 6.1 % The following maturity analysis presents expected undiscounted cash outflows for operating leases on an annual basis for the next five years: Fiscal year In millions 2025 $ 513 2026 324 2027 208 2028 110 2029 64 Thereafter 142 Total lease payments 1,361 Less: Imputed interest 131 Total lease liabilities $ 1,230 There were no material operating leases that HP had entered into and that were yet to commence as of October 31, 2024. As a lessor, HP records revenue under sales-type leases at the commencement of the lease. Revenue recognized from sales-type leases constituted less than one percent of product net revenue for fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022 respectively. As of October 31, 2024 and 2023, the net investment in leases balance were $705 million and $527 million, respectively.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of HP and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of HP and its subsidiaries and affiliates in which HP has a controlling financial interest or is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications HP has reclassified certain prior-year amounts to conform to the current-year presentation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in HP’s Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation HP predominantly 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 non-monetary 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 in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Certain foreign subsidiaries designate the local currency as the 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.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance that enhances the transparency about the use of supplier finance programs. Under the new guidance, companies that use a supplier finance program in connection with the purchase of goods or services are required to disclose information about those programs to allow users of financial statements to understand the nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. HP adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, except for the disclosure on roll forward information which will be adopted in fiscal year 2025, in line with the effective adoption dates prescribed by the FASB. See Note 7, “Supplementary Financial Information,” for additional disclosure related to HP’s supplier finance programs. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance that requires disaggregation of specific expense categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements on an annual and interim basis. HP is required to adopt this guidance for its annual period ending October 31, 2028 and all interim periods thereafter on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. HP is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance that enhances the transparency of income tax disclosures by expanding annual disclosure requirements related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. HP is required to adopt this guidance for its annual period ending October 31, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. HP is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its disclosures. In November 2023, the FASB issued guidance that updates reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and information used to assess segment performance on an annual and interim basis. HP is required to adopt this guidance for its annual period ending October 31, 2025 and all interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. HP is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its disclosures.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition General HP recognizes revenues at a point in time or over time depicting the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which HP expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. HP follows the five-step model for revenue recognition as summarized below: 1. Identify the contract with a customer - A contract with customer exists when (i) it is approved and signed by all parties, (ii) each party’s rights and obligations can be identified, (iii) payment terms are defined, (iv) it has commercial substance and (v) the customer has the ability and intent to pay. HP evaluates customers’ ability to pay based on various factors like historical payment experience, financial metrics and customer credit scores. While the majority of our sales contracts contain standard terms and conditions, there are certain contracts with non-standard terms and conditions. 2. Identify the performance obligations in the contract - HP evaluates each performance obligation in an arrangement to determine whether it is distinct, such as hardware and/or service. A performance obligation constitutes distinct goods or services when the customer can benefit from such goods or services either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer and the performance obligation is distinct within the context of the contract. 3. Determine the transaction price - Transaction price is the amount of consideration to which HP expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer. If the transaction price includes a variable amount, HP estimates the amount it expects to be entitled to using either the expected value or the most likely amount method. HP reduces the transaction price at the time of revenue recognition for customer and distributor programs and incentive offerings, rebates, promotions, other volume-based incentives and expected returns. HP uses estimates to determine the expected variable consideration for such programs based on factors like historical experience, expected consumer behavior and market conditions. HP has elected the practical expedient of not accounting for significant financing components if the period between revenue recognition and when the customer pays for the product or service is one year or less. 4. Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract - When a sales arrangement contains multiple performance obligations, such as hardware and/or services, HP allocates revenue to each performance obligation in proportion to their selling price. The selling price for each performance obligation is based on its Standalone Selling Price (“SSP”). HP establishes SSP using the price charged for a performance obligation when sold separately (“observable price”) and, in some instances, using the price established by management having the relevant authority. When observable price is not available, HP establishes SSP maximizing the use of observable inputs based on management judgment while considering internal factors such as historical discounting trends for products and services, pricing practices and other observable factors. 5. Recognize revenue when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied - Revenue is recognized when, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of a promised good or service to a customer. HP generally invoices the customer upon delivery of the goods or services and the payments are due as per contract terms. For fixed price support or maintenance contracts that are in the nature of stand-ready obligations, payments are generally received in advance from customers and revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the duration of the contract. HP reports revenue net of any taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities, and the collected taxes are recorded as other current liabilities until remitted to the relevant government authority. HP includes costs related to shipping and handling in Cost of net revenue. HP records revenue on a gross basis when HP is a principal in 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. Hardware HP transfers control of the products to the customer at the time the product is delivered to the customer and recognizes revenue accordingly, unless customer acceptance is uncertain or significant obligations to the customer remain unfulfilled. HP records revenue from the sale of equipment under sales-type leases as revenue at the commencement of the lease. Services HP recognizes revenue from fixed-price support, maintenance and other service contracts over time depicting the pattern of service delivery and recognizes the costs associated with these contracts as incurred. Contract Assets and Liabilities Contract assets are rights to consideration in exchange for goods or services that HP has transferred to a customer when such right is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Such contract assets are not material to HP’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Contract liabilities are recorded as deferred revenues when amounts invoiced to customers are more than the revenues recognized or when payments are received in advance for fixed-price support or maintenance contracts. The short-term and long-term deferred revenues are reported within the Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities respectively. Cost to obtain a contract and fulfillment cost Incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract primarily consist of sales commissions. HP has elected the practical expedient to expense as incurred the costs to obtain a contract with a benefit period equal to or less than one year. For contracts with a period of benefit greater than one year, HP capitalizes incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer and amortizes these costs over their expected period of benefit provided such costs are recoverable. Fulfillment costs consist of set-up and transition costs related to other service contracts. These costs generate or enhance resources of HP that will be used in satisfying the performance obligation in the future and are capitalized and amortized over the expected period of the benefit, provided such costs are recoverable. See Note 7, “Supplementary Financial Information” for details on net revenue by region, cost to obtain a contract and fulfillment cost, contract liabilities and value of remaining performance obligations.
Leases	Leases At the inception of a contract, HP assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The assessment is based on (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether HP obtains the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether HP has the right to direct the use of the asset. All significant lease arrangements are recognized at lease commencement. Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less at inception are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. HP determines the lease term by assuming the exercise of renewal options that are reasonably certain. As most of the leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, HP uses the unsecured borrowing rate and risk-adjusts that rate to approximate a collateralized rate at the commencement date to determine the present value of future payments that are reasonably certain.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation
Retirement and Post-Retirement Plans	Retirement and Post-Retirement Plans HP has various defined benefit, other contributory and non-contributory 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 limited cases, HP amortizes actuarial gains and losses using the corridor approach. See Note 4, “Retirement and Post-Retirement Benefit Plans” for a full description of these plans and the accounting and funding policies.
Advertising Cost	Advertising Cost
Restructuring and Other Charges	Restructuring and Other Charges
Taxes on Earnings	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 any related interest and penalties. HP is subject to the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) tax in the U.S. and elects to recognize these taxes as a current expense in the period incurred.
Accounts Receivable	Accounts Receivable HP records allowance for credit losses for the current expected credit losses inherent in the asset over its expected life. The allowance for credit losses is maintained based on the relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. 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 assesses collectability by pooling receivables where similar risk characteristics exist. HP maintains an allowance for credit losses 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, financial condition of customers, 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 utilizes certain third-party arrangements in the normal course of business as part of HP’s cash and liquidity management and also to provide liquidity to certain partners to facilitate their working capital requirements. 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 Risk	Concentrations of Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject HP to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, investments, receivables from trade customers and contract manufacturers 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 geographic regions, and HP’s policy is designed to limit exposure from any particular institution. As part of its risk management processes, HP performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these 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, interest rate and, on certain investment exposures. Such contracts involve the risk of non-performance by the counterparty, which could result in a material loss. The likelihood of which HP deems to be remote. 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 these distributors’ and resellers’ aggregated business 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 38% and 41% of gross accounts receivable as of October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. One customer, TD Synnex Corp, accounted for 9.7% of gross accounts receivable as of October 31, 2024 and 13.2% of gross accounts receivable as of October 31, 2023. Credit risk with respect to other accounts receivable is generally diversified due to HP’s large customer base and their dispersion across many different industries and geographic markets. HP performs ongoing credit evaluations of the financial condition of its third-party distributors, resellers and other customers and may require collateral, such as letters of credit and bank guarantees, in certain circumstances. HP utilizes outsourced manufacturers around the world to manufacture HP-designed products. HP may purchase product components from suppliers and sell those components to its outsourced manufacturers thereby creating receivable balances from the outsourced manufacturers. The three largest outsourced manufacturer receivable balances collectively represented 89% and 58% of HP’s supplier receivables of $0.8 billion and $0.3 billion as of October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. HP includes the supplier receivables in Other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets on a gross basis. HP’s credit risk associated with these receivables is mitigated wholly or in part, by the amount HP owes to these outsourced manufacturers, as HP generally has the legal right to offset its payables to the outsourced manufacturers against these receivables. HP does not reflect the sale of these components in net revenue and does not recognize any profit 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 products net revenue. HP obtains a significant number of components from single source suppliers like Canon, 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 net revenue, cash flows and gross margins.
Inventory	Inventory HP records inventory at the lower of cost or market (net realizable value) on a first-in, first-out basis. Cost is computed using standard cost which approximates actual cost. Adjustments, if required, to reduce the cost of inventory to market are made for estimated excess, obsolete or impaired balances after considering judgments related to future demand and market conditions.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Net	Property, Plant and Equipment, Net HP reflects 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 three
Internal Use Software and Cloud Computing Arrangements	Internal Use Software and Cloud Computing Arrangements HP capitalizes external costs and directly attributable internal costs to acquire or create internal use software which are incurred subsequent to the completion of the preliminary project stage. These costs relate to activities such as software design, configuration, coding, testing, and installation. Costs related to post-implementation activities such as training and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Once the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, capitalized development costs are amortized straight-line over the estimated useful life of the software, generally not to exceed five years. HP also enters into certain cloud-based software hosting arrangements that are accounted for as service contracts. For internal-use software obtained through a hosting arrangement that is in the nature of a service contract, HP incurs certain implementation costs such as integrating, configuring, and software customization, which are consistent with costs incurred during the application development stage for on-premise software. HP applies the same guidance to determine costs that are eligible for capitalization. For these arrangements, HP amortizes the capitalized development costs straight-line over the fixed, non-cancellable term of the associated hosting arrangement plus any reasonably certain renewal periods. HP also applies the same impairment model to both internal-use software and capitalized implementation costs in a software hosting arrangement that is in the nature of a service contract.
Goodwill	Goodwill HP reviews goodwill for impairment annually during its fourth quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. HP can elect to perform a qualitative assessment to test a reporting unit’s goodwill for impairment or directly perform the quantitative impairment test. Based on the qualitative assessment, if HP determines that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than 50 percent) to be less than its carrying amount, a quantitative impairment test will be performed. If a quantitative impairment test is performed, HP compares the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount. The fair values are derived most significantly from the income approach, with lesser weight attributed to 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. 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 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, HP estimates fair value based on market multiples of 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 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. 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. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, goodwill is impaired and the excess of the reporting unit’s carrying value over the fair value is recognized as an impairment loss.
Debt and Marketable Equity Securities Investments	Debt and Marketable Equity Securities Investments HP determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and re-evaluates the classifications at each balance sheet date. Debt and marketable equity securities are generally considered available-for-sale. All highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. Marketable debt securities with maturities of twelve months or less are classified as short-term investments and marketable debt securities with maturities greater than twelve months are classified based on their availability for use in current operations. Marketable equity securities, including mutual funds, are classified as either short or long-term based on the nature of each security and its availability for use in current operations. Available-for-sale debt securities are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable taxes, in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Unrealized gains and losses on equity securities, credit losses and impairments on available-for-sale debt securities are recorded in Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are calculated at the individual security level and included in Interest and other, net in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. HP monitors its investment portfolio for potential impairment and credit losses on a quarterly basis. If HP intends to sell a debt security or it is more likely than not that HP will be required to sell the security before recovery, then a decline in fair value below cost is recorded as an impairment charge in Interest and other, net and a new cost basis in the investment is established. In other cases, if the carrying amount of an investment in debt securities exceeds its fair value and the decline in value is determined to be due to credit related reasons, HP records a credit loss allowance, limited by the amount that fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. HP recognizes the corresponding charge in Interest and other, net and the remaining unrealized loss, if any, in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Factors that HP considers while determining the credit loss allowance includes, but is not limited to, severity and the reason for the decline in value, interest rate changes and counterparty long-term ratings.
Derivatives	Derivatives HP uses derivative instruments, primarily forward contracts, option contracts, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, treasury rate locks and forward starting swaps to hedge certain foreign currency, interest rate and, return on certain investment 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 instruments for speculative purposes. See Note 10, “Financial Instruments” for a full description of HP’s derivative instrument activities and related accounting policies.
Legal Contingencies	Legal 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 14, “Litigation and Contingencies” for a full description of HP’s loss contingencies and related accounting policies.
Segment Information	The accounting policies HP uses to derive segment results are substantially the same as those used by HP in preparing these financial statements. HP derives the results of the business segments directly from its internal management reporting system. HP does not allocate certain operating expenses, which it manages at the corporate level, to its segments. These unallocated amounts include expenses such as certain corporate governance costs and infrastructure investments, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring and other charges, acquisition and divestiture charges, amortization of intangible assets and Russia exit charges.
Fair Value	Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair Value Hierarchy HP uses valuation techniques that are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are developed using market data such as publicly available information and reflect the assumptions market participants would use, while unobservable inputs are developed using the best information available about the assumptions market participants would use. Assets and liabilities are classified in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement: Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2—Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and market-corroborated inputs. Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to observable inputs and lowest priority to unobservable inputs. Valuation Techniques Cash Equivalents and Investments: HP holds time deposits, money market funds, mutual funds, other debt securities primarily consisting of corporate and foreign government notes and bonds, and common stock and equivalents. HP values cash equivalents and equity investments using quoted market prices, alternative pricing sources, including net asset value, or models utilizing market observable inputs. The fair value of debt investments is 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 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, and forward and spot prices for currencies and interest rates. See Note 10, “Financial Instruments” for a further discussion of HP’s use of derivative instruments. Other Fair Value Disclosures Short- and Long-Term Debt: HP estimates the fair value of its debt primarily using an expected present value technique, which is based on observable market inputs using interest rates currently available to companies of similar credit standing for similar terms and remaining maturities and considering its own credit risk. The portion of HP’s debt that is hedged is reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as an amount equal to the debt’s carrying amount and a fair value adjustment representing changes in the fair value of the hedged debt obligations arising from movements in benchmark interest rates. The fair value of HP’s short- and long-term debt was $9.4 billion as compared to its carrying amount of $9.7 billion as of October 31, 2024. The fair value of HP’s short- and long-term debt was $8.5 billion as compared to its carrying value of $9.5 billion at October 31, 2023. 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 included in Other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. If measured at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, these other financial instruments would be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Non-Marketable Equity Investments and Non-Financial Assets: HP’s non-marketable equity investments are measured at cost less impairment, adjusted for observable price changes. HP’s non-financial assets, such as intangible assets, goodwill 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 within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Cash Equivalents and Available-for-Sale Investments	All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition are considered cash equivalents.
Earnings Per Share	HP calculates basic net EPS using net earnings and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted net EPS includes any dilutive effect of restricted stock units, stock options, performance-based awards and shares purchased under the 2021 employee stock purchase plan.
Guarantees, Indemnifications and Warranties	Guarantees In the ordinary course of business, HP may issue performance guarantees to certain of its clients, customers and other parties pursuant to which HP has guaranteed the performance obligations of third parties. Some of those guarantees may be backed by standby letters of credit or surety bonds. In general, HP would be obligated to perform over the term of the guarantee in the event a specified triggering event occurs as defined by the guarantee. HP believes the likelihood of having to perform under a material guarantee is remote. Cross-Indemnifications with Hewlett Packard Enterprise On November 1, 2015, Hewlett-Packard Company completed the separation of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Hewlett-Packard Company’s former enterprise technology infrastructure, software, services and financing businesses. The separation and distribution agreement provides for cross-indemnities between HP and Hewlett Packard Enterprise for liabilities allocated to the respective party pursuant to the terms of such agreement. For information on cross-indemnifications with Hewlett Packard Enterprise for litigation matters, see Note 14, “Litigation and Contingencies”. 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 intellectual property 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. HP records tax indemnification receivables from various third parties for certain tax liabilities that HP is jointly and severally liable for, but for which it is indemnified by those same third parties under existing legal agreements. HP records a tax indemnification payable to various third parties under these agreements when management believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The actual amount that the third parties pay or may be obligated to pay HP could vary depending on the outcome of certain unresolved tax matters, which may not be resolved for several years. 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.

(2) The fair value of corporate, government and asset-backed debt securities is based on observable inputs of comparable market transactions. Also included in this category is debt issued by national, state and local governments and agencies. (3) Department of Labor 103-12 IE (Investment Entity) designation is for plan assets held by two or more unrelated employee benefit plans which includes limited partnerships and venture capital partnerships. Certain common collective trusts and interests in 103-12 entities are valued using NAV as a practical expedient. (4) Includes publicly traded funds of investment companies that are registered with the SEC, funds that are not publicly traded and a non-U.S. fund-of-fund arrangement. (5) Includes cash and cash equivalents such as short-term marketable securities. Cash and cash equivalents include 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. (6) Includes primarily reverse repurchase agreements, unsettled transactions, and derivative instruments. (7) These investments include alternative investments, which primarily consist of private equities and hedge funds. The valuation of alternative investments, such as limited partnerships and joint ventures, may require significant management judgment. For alternative investments, valuation is based on NAV as reported by the asset manager or investment company and adjusted for cash flows, if necessary. 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. • Private equities include limited partnerships such as equity, buyout, venture capital, real estate and other similar funds that invest in the United States and internationally where foreign currencies are hedged. • Hedge funds include limited partnerships that invest both long and short primarily in common stocks and credit, relative value, event-driven equity, distressed debt and macro strategies. Management of the hedge funds has the ability to shift investments from value to growth strategies, from small to large capitalization stocks and bonds, and from a net long position to a net short position. These investments also include Common Collective Trusts and 103-12 Investment Entities as defined in note (3) above and Investment Funds as defined in note (4) above.

Schedule of Weighted-Average Fair Value and Assumptions Used to Measure Fair Value of Restricted Stock Units	HP uses the closing stock price on the grant date to estimate the fair value of service-based restricted stock units. HP estimates the fair value of restricted stock units subject to performance-adjusted vesting conditions using a combination of the closing stock price on the grant date and a Monte Carlo simulation model. The assumptions used to measure the fair value of restricted stock units subject to performance-adjusted vesting conditions in the Monte Carlo simulation model were as follows: For the fiscal years ended October 31 2024 2023 2022 Expected volatility (1) 33.9 % 44.4 % 41.6 % Risk-free interest rate (2) 4.1 % 4.0 % 1.0 % Expected performance period in years (3) 2.9 2.9 2.9 (1) The expected volatility was estimated using the historical volatility derived from HP’s common stock. (2) The risk-free interest rate was estimated based on the yield on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues. (3) The expected performance period was estimated based on the length of the remaining performance period from the grant date.
