Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

        In the opinion of management, the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements of Hewlett-Packard Company and its consolidated subsidiaries ("HP") contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly HP's financial position as of July 31, 2009, its results of operations for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008 and its cash flows for the nine months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008. The Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of October 31, 2008 is derived from the October 31, 2008 audited consolidated financial statements. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-year amounts in order to conform to the current year presentation.

        The results of operations for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with "Risk Factors," "Legal Proceedings," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" and the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in Items 1A, 3, 7, 7A and 8, respectively, of the Hewlett-Packard Company Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008.

        The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in HP's Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

        HP is involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies," HP records a provision for a liability when it believes it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. HP reviews these provisions at least quarterly and adjusts these provisions to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and updated information. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and is subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond HP's control.

        HP evaluated all subsequent events that occurred after the balance sheet date and through the date and time its financial statements were issued on September 4, 2009.

Accounting Pronouncements

        As previously reported in HP's 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K, HP recognized the funded status of its benefit plans at October 31, 2007 in accordance with the recognition provisions of SFAS No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—An Amendment of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)" ("SFAS 158"). In addition to the recognition provisions, SFAS 158 also requires companies to measure the funded status of the plan as of the date of their fiscal year end, effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. HP will adopt the measurement provisions of SFAS 158 effective October 31, 2009 for the HP pension and post retirement plans. HP does not expect the adoption of the measurement provisions of SFAS 158 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") SFAS 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157" ("FSP SFAS 157-2"). FSP SFAS 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157") to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). As a result of adoption of FSP SFAS 157-2, HP will adopt SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. Although HP will continue to evaluate the application of SFAS 157 to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, HP does not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 with respect to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

        In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141(R)"). SFAS 141(R) expands the definition of a business and a business combination; requires recognition of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and contingent consideration at their fair value on the acquisition date; requires acquisition-related expenses and restructuring costs to be recognized separately from the business combination and expensed as incurred; requires in-process research and development to be capitalized at fair value as an intangible asset; and requires that changes in accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties after the measurement period be recognized as a component of provision for taxes. SFAS 141(R) also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and will be adopted by HP in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. HP is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS 141(R) on its consolidated financial statements, which will be largely dependent on the size and nature of the business combinations completed after the adoption of this statement. Among other potential impacts, the adoption of SFAS 141(R) will result in the recognition of certain types of expenses in its results of operations that are currently capitalized pursuant to existing accounting standards.

        In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51" ("SFAS 160"). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent's ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and will be adopted by HP in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. HP does not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

        In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board ("APB") 14-1 "Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)" ("FSP APB 14-1"). FSP APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer's non-convertible debt borrowing rate. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a retrospective basis and will be adopted by HP in the first quarter of

fiscal 2010. HP currently does not have any outstanding convertible debt instruments that are subject to the provisions of FSP APB 14-1. However, HP's U.S. dollar zero-coupon convertible notes that were redeemed in full in March 2008 are subject to the provisions of FSP APB 14-1. As a result, upon adoption of FSP APB 14-1 in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, HP's fiscal 2008 consolidated results of operations and financial condition will be affected on a retrospective basis. HP does not expect the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

        In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") 03-6-1, "Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities" ("FSP EITF 03-6-1"). FSP EITF 03-6-1 clarifies that share-based payment awards that entitle their holders to receive nonforfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents before vesting should be considered participating securities. HP has granted and is expected to continue to grant restricted stock that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends and such restricted stock will be considered participating securities upon adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1. As participating securities, HP will be required to include these instruments in the calculation of HP's basic earnings per share ("EPS"), and it will need to calculate basic EPS using the "two-class method." Restricted stock is currently included in HP's dilutive EPS calculation using the treasury stock method. The two-class method of computing EPS is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a retrospective basis and will be adopted by HP in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. HP does not expect the adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 will have a material effect on its calculation of basic EPS.

        In November 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 08-7, "Accounting for Defensive Intangible Assets" ("EITF 08-7"). EITF 08-7 applies to defensive intangible assets, which are acquired intangible assets that the acquirer does not intend to actively use but intends to hold to prevent its competitors from obtaining access to them. As these assets are separately identifiable, EITF 08-7 requires an acquiring entity to account for defensive intangible assets as a separate unit of accounting. Defensive intangible assets must be recognized initially at fair value in accordance with SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 157 and amortized over the benefit period. EITF 08-7 is effective for defensive intangible assets acquired in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and will be adopted by HP in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. HP is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of EITF 08-7 on its consolidated financial statements, which will be largely dependent on the nature of the business combinations completed after the adoption of this statement.

        In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 132(R)-1, "Employer's Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets" ("FSP SFAS 132(R)-1"). FSP SFAS 132(R)-1 requires additional disclosures about assets held in an employer's defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. FSP SFAS 132(R)-1 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009 and will be adopted by HP in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. HP will present the required disclosures in the prescribed format on a prospective basis upon adoption. FSP SFAS 132(R)-1 will only affect the notes to HP's consolidated financial statements.

        In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 141(R)-1, "Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies" ("FSP SFAS 141(R)-1"). FSP SFAS 141(R)-1 addresses application issues on initial recognition and

measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. FSP SFAS 141(R)-1 is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and will be adopted by HP in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. HP is evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP SFAS 141(R)-1 will have on its consolidated financial statements, which will be largely dependent on the size and nature of the business combinations completed after the adoption of this statement.

        In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, "Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140" ("SFAS 166"). The most significant amendments resulting from SFAS 166 consist of the removal of the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity from FASB Statement No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," and, for qualifying special-purpose entities, the removal of the exception from applying FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities—an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51" ("FIN 46(R)"). SFAS 166 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. SFAS 166 will be adopted by HP in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. HP does not expect the adoption of SFAS 166 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

        In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, "Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)" ("SFAS 167"). SFAS 167 amends FIN 46(R) to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and to require ongoing qualitative reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 also amends FIN 46(R) to require additional disclosures about an enterprise's involvement in variable interest entities. SFAS 167 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. SFAS 167 will be adopted by HP in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. HP is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 167 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

        In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, "The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162" ("SFAS 168"). SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB. Following this statement, the FASB will issue new standards in the form of Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs"). SFAS 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and therefore is effective for HP in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. The issuance of SFAS 168 will not change GAAP and therefore the adoption of SFAS 168 will only affect the specific references to GAAP literature in the notes to HP's consolidated financial statements.

        In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-05, "Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value" ("ASU 2009-05"). This update provides amendments to ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure" for the fair value measurement of liabilities. HP will adopt ASU 2009-05 for all financial liabilities in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. HP will adopt ASU 2009-05 for

all non-financial liabilities in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 when HP fully adopts SFAS 157. Although HP will continue to evaluate the application of SFAS 157 and this update for its non-financial liabilities, HP does not expect the adoption of ASU 2009-05 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 2: Stock-Based Compensation

        HP's stock-based compensation plans include incentive compensation plans and an employee stock purchase plan. Incentive compensation plans include principal option plans as well as various stock option plans assumed through acquisitions. Principal option plans include performance-based restricted units ("PRU"), stock options and restricted stock awards. HP accounts for its stock-based compensation plans under SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment."

        Total stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008 was as follows:

Performance-based Restricted Units

        In fiscal 2008, HP implemented a program that provides for the issuance of PRUs representing hypothetical shares of HP common stock that may be issued under the Hewlett-Packard Company 2004 Stock Incentive Plan.

        Under the PRU program, a target number of units are awarded at the beginning of each three-year performance period. The number of shares released at the end of the performance period will range from zero to two times the target number depending on performance during the period. The performance metrics of the PRU program are (a) annual targets based on cash flow from operations as a percentage of revenue, and (b) an overall "modifier" based on Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") relative to the S&P 500 over the three-year performance period. TSR is calculated using the quarterly average performance of the S&P 500 during the three-year performance period.

        As the cash flow goals are considered performance conditions, the expense for these awards, net of estimated forfeitures, will be recorded over the three-year performance period based on the number of shares that are expected to be earned based on the achievement of the cash flow goals during the performance period.

Note 2: Stock-Based Compensation (Continued)

        HP estimates the fair value of a target PRU share using the Monte Carlo simulation model, as the TSR modifier contains a market condition. The following weighted-average assumptions were used to determine the weighted-average fair value of the PRU awards:

---

⁽¹⁾

Reflects the weighted-average fair value for the first year of the three-year performance period applicable to PRUs granted in the three months ended July 31, 2009. The estimated fair value of a target share for the second and third years for PRUs granted in the three months ended July 31, 2009 will be determined when the annual cash flow goals are approved, and the expense will be amortized over the remainder of the applicable three-year performance period.

⁽²⁾

Reflects the weighted-average fair value for the second year of the three-year performance period applicable to PRUs granted in fiscal 2008 and for the first year of the three-year performance period applicable to PRUs granted in fiscal 2009. The estimated fair value of a target share for the third year for PRUs granted in fiscal 2008 and for the second and third years for PRUs granted in fiscal 2009 will be determined when the annual cash flow goals are approved, and the expense will be amortized over the remainder of the applicable three-year performance period.

⁽³⁾

HP uses historic volatility for PRU awards as implied volatility cannot be used when simulating multivariate prices for companies in the S&P 500.

        Outstanding PRUs as of July 31, 2009 and October 31, 2008 and changes during the nine months ended July 31, 2009 and twelve months ended October 31, 2008 were as follows:

Note 2: Stock-Based Compensation (Continued)

        At July 31, 2009, there was $248 million of unrecognized pre-tax stock-based compensation expense related to PRUs with an assigned fair value, which HP expects to recognize over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 1.7 years.

Stock Options

        HP estimated the weighted-average fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

        Option activity as of July 31, 2009 and changes during the nine months ended July 31, 2009 were as follows:

        The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value that option holders would have received had all option holders exercised their options on July 31, 2009. The aggregate intrinsic value is the difference between HP's closing stock price on the last trading day of the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options. Total intrinsic value of options exercised for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009 was $188 million and $326 million, respectively.

        At July 31, 2009, there was $244 million of unrecognized pre-tax stock-based compensation expense related to stock options, which HP expects to recognize over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 1.3 years.

Restricted Stock Awards

        Non-vested restricted stock awards as of July 31, 2009 and changes during the nine months ended July 31, 2009 were as follows:

        At July 31, 2009, there was $155 million of unrecognized pre-tax stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock awards, which HP expects to recognize over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 0.9 years.

Changes to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan

        HP sponsors the Hewlett-Packard Company 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, also known as the Share Ownership Plan (the "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. Employees purchase stock pursuant to the ESPP semi-annually at a price equal to 85% of the fair market value on the purchase date. HP recognized expense based on a 15% discount from fair market value for purchases made under the ESPP on or before April 30, 2009. Effective May 1, 2009, HP modified the ESPP to eliminate the 15% discount applicable to purchases made under the ESPP.

Note 3: Net Earnings Per Share

        HP calculates basic earnings per share using net earnings and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted EPS includes any dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, PRUs, restricted stock units, restricted stock and convertible debt.

Note 3: Net Earnings Per Share (Continued)

        The reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS calculations was as follows:

        HP excludes options with exercise prices that are greater than the average market price from the calculation of diluted EPS because their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009, HP excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS options to purchase 96 million shares and 100 million shares, respectively, as compared to 57 million shares and 55 million shares, respectively, in the prior-year comparable periods. Also, in accordance with SFAS 123R, HP excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS options to purchase an additional 2 million shares in the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal 2009 compared to an additional 28 million shares and 29 million shares, respectively, in the prior-year comparable periods whose combined exercise price, unamortized fair value and excess tax benefits were greater in each of those periods than the average market price for HP's common stock because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

        As disclosed in Note 2, during the nine months ended July 31, 2009 and July 31, 2008, HP granted PRU awards representing at target approximately 14 million shares and 9 million shares, respectively. HP includes the shares underlying PRU awards in the calculation of diluted EPS when they become contingently issuable per SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share," and excludes such shares when they are not contingently issuable. Accordingly, for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009, HP has included 4 million shares and 3 million shares, respectively, underlying the PRU awards granted in fiscal 2008 when calculating diluted EPS as those shares became contingently issuable upon the satisfaction of the cash flow from operations condition with respect to the first year of the performance period applicable to those awards. HP has excluded all other shares underlying the fiscal 2008 awards

and all shares underlying the fiscal 2009 awards when calculating diluted EPS as those shares are not contingently issuable.

        In October and November 1997, HP issued U.S. dollar zero-coupon subordinated convertible notes due 2017 (the "LYONs"), the outstanding principal amount of which was redeemed in March 2008. The LYONs were convertible at the option of the holders at any time prior to maturity, unless previously redeemed or otherwise purchased. For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended July 31, 2008, the interest expense (net of tax) associated with the LYONs was added back to net earnings, and the shares issuable upon conversion of the LYONs were included in the weighted-average shares used to compute diluted earnings per share for periods that the LYONs were outstanding.

Note 4: Balance Sheet Details

        Balance sheet details were as follows:

Accounts and Financing Receivables

        HP has revolving trade receivables-based facilities permitting it to sell certain trade receivables to third parties on a non-recourse basis. The aggregate maximum capacity under these programs was $586 million as of July 31, 2009. HP sold $1,321 million of trade receivables during the first nine months of fiscal 2009. As of July 31, 2009, HP had $342 million available under these programs.

Note 5: Acquisitions

        In the first nine months of fiscal 2009, HP completed its acquisition of Lefthand Networks, Inc., a leading provider of storage virtualization and solutions for $347 million in cash including direct transaction costs and the assumption of certain liabilities in connection with the transaction. HP recorded $273 million to goodwill, $95 million to purchased intangibles and $6 million to in-process research and development ("IPR&D") charges related to this acquisition. Lefthand Networks is being integrated into HP's Enterprise Storage and Servers segment within the Technology Solutions Group. HP does not expect goodwill recorded with respect to this acquisition to be deductible for tax purposes. HP has not presented pro forma results of operations because this acquisition is not material to HP's consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent Acquisition

        In August 2009, HP completed its acquisition of IBRIX, Inc. a leading provider of enterprise-class file serving software. IBRIX will be integrated into the Enterprise Storage and Servers segment. This acquisition is not material to HP's consolidated financial statements.

Acquisition of Electronic Data Systems Corporation ("EDS")

        As previously disclosed in its Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008, HP completed its acquisition of EDS on August 26, 2008. The purchase price for EDS was $13.0 billion, comprised of $12.7 billion cash paid for outstanding common stock, $328 million for the estimated fair value of stock options and restricted stock units assumed, and $36 million for direct transaction costs. Of the total purchase price, a preliminary estimate of $10.5 billion has been allocated to goodwill, $4.5 billion has been allocated to amortizable intangible assets acquired and $2.0 billion has been allocated to net tangible liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition. HP also expensed $30 million for IPR&D charges.

        The purchase price allocation as of the date of the acquisition reflects various preliminary estimates and analyses, including preliminary work performed by third-party valuation specialists, and is subject to change during the purchase price allocation period (generally one year from the acquisition date) as valuations are finalized.

Note 5: Acquisitions (Continued)

        HP has evaluated and continues to evaluate certain pre-acquisition contingencies related to EDS that existed as of the acquisition date. Additional information, which existed as of the acquisition date but was at that time unknown to HP, may become known to HP during the remainder of the purchase price allocation period, and may result in goodwill adjustments. If these pre-acquisition contingencies become probable in nature and estimable after the end of the purchase price allocation period, amounts would be recorded for such matters in HP's results of operations.

Pro forma results for EDS acquisition

        The following table presents the unaudited results of HP (including EDS) for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009 and the unaudited pro forma results for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2008. The unaudited pro forma financial information for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2008 combines the results of operations of HP and EDS as though the companies had been combined as of the beginning of fiscal 2008. The pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition and related borrowings had taken place at the beginning of fiscal 2008. The unaudited pro forma results presented include amortization charges for acquired intangible assets, eliminations of intercompany transactions, restructuring charges, IPR&D charges, adjustments for incremental stock-based compensation expense related to the unearned portion of EDS stock options and restricted stock units assumed, adjustments for depreciation expense for property, plant and equipment, adjustments to interest expense and related tax effects.

Goodwill

        Goodwill allocated to HP's business segments as of July 31, 2009 and changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended July 31, 2009 are as follows:

        During the nine months ended July 31, 2009, HP recorded adjustments of approximately $500 million to the estimated fair values of EDS's intangible assets and net liabilities acquired resulting in an increase to EDS's goodwill, which is allocated to the Services segment. These changes in the estimated fair values relate primarily to restructuring liabilities, fixed assets, intangible assets and net deferred tax liabilities. In addition, goodwill increased approximately $180 million as a result of currency translation related to certain of EDS's foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.

Purchased Intangible Assets

        HP's purchased intangible assets associated with completed acquisitions are composed of:

        For the nine months ended July 31, 2009, HP recorded an increase of $51 million to purchased intangibles as a result of currency translation related to certain of EDS's foreign subsidiaries whose financial currency is not the U.S. dollar. HP also recorded a reduction of $35 million to the estimated fair value of EDS's intangible assets acquired.

Note 7: Restructuring Charges

Fiscal 2009 Restructuring Plan

        In May 2009, HP's management approved and initiated a restructuring plan to structurally change and improve the effectiveness of IPG, PSG and ESS. In the third quarter of fiscal 2009, HP recorded a net charge of $295 million in severance-related costs associated with the planned elimination of approximately 5,000 positions. As of July 31, 2009, approximately 1,200 positions have been eliminated. HP expects the majority of the restructuring costs to be paid out by the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. In future quarters, HP expects to record an additional charge of approximately $8 million related to severance costs associated with this plan.

Fiscal 2008 Restructuring Plan

        In connection with the acquisition of EDS on August 26, 2008, HP's management approved and initiated a restructuring plan to streamline the combined company's services business and to better align the structure and efficiency of that business with HP's operating model. The restructuring plan is expected to be implemented over four years from the acquisition date and includes changes to the combined company's workforce as well as changes to corporate overhead functions such as real estate and IT.

        In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, HP recorded a liability of approximately $1.8 billion related to this restructuring plan. Approximately $1.5 billion of the liability was associated with pre-acquisition EDS and was recorded to goodwill, and the remaining approximately $0.3 billion was associated with HP and was recorded as a restructuring charge. The liability consisted mainly of severance costs to eliminate approximately 25,000 positions, costs to vacate duplicative facilities and costs associated with early termination of certain contractual obligations. HP recorded net charges for severance and facilities costs of $67 million and $310 million, for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009, respectively, along with year-to-date adjustments to goodwill of $276 million. As of July 31, 2009, over 16,000 positions have been eliminated.

Note 7: Restructuring Charges (Continued)

        HP expects the majority of the restructuring costs to be paid out by the second quarter of fiscal 2010. In future quarters, HP expects to record an additional charge of approximately $497 million related to the cost to vacate duplicative facilities and severance costs.

        All restructuring costs associated with pre-acquisition EDS are reflected in the purchase price of EDS in accordance with EITF 95-3, "Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination." These costs are subject to change based on the actual costs incurred. Changes to these estimates could increase or decrease the amount of the purchase price allocated to goodwill.

Prior Fiscal Year Plans

        Restructuring plans initiated prior to 2008 are substantially complete and HP expects to record only minor revisions to these plans as necessary.

Summary of Restructuring Plans

        The adjustments to the accrued restructuring expenses related to all of HP's restructuring plans described above for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009 were as follows:

        At July 31, 2009 and October 31, 2008, HP included the long-term portion of the restructuring liability of $440 million and $670 million, respectively, in Other liabilities, and the short-term portion in Accrued restructuring in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

Workforce Rebalancing

        As part of HP's ongoing business operations, HP incurred workforce rebalancing charges for severance and related costs within certain business segments during the first nine months of fiscal 2009. Workforce rebalancing activities are considered part of normal operations as HP continues to optimize its cost structure. Workforce rebalancing costs are included in HP's business segment results, and HP expects to incur additional workforce rebalancing costs in the future.

Note 8: Fair Value

        Effective November 1, 2008, HP adopted the applicable portions of SFAS 157 as referenced in Note 1. Pursuant to the provisions of SFAS 157-2, HP will not apply the provisions of SFAS 157 until the first quarter of fiscal 2010 for the following major categories of nonfinancial assets and liabilities from the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet: Property, plant and equipment, Goodwill, Purchased intangible assets and the Asset retirement obligations within Other accrued liabilities and Other liabilities. The adoption did not have a material impact on HP's financial statements and did not result in any changes to the opening balance of retained earnings as of November 1, 2008.

        SFAS 157 establishes a new framework for measuring fair value and expands related disclosures. The SFAS 157 framework requires fair value to be determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.

        The valuation techniques required by SFAS 157 are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable or market inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect HP's assumptions about market participant assumptions based on best information available. Observable inputs are the preferred source of values. In accordance with SFAS 157, these two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

        Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets.

        Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

        Level 3—Prices or valuations that require management inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

        The following section describes the valuation methodologies HP uses to measure its financial assets and liabilities at fair value.

        Cash Equivalents: HP holds money market funds investing mainly in treasury bills, which are classified under level 1. HP also invests in time deposits and commercial paper, which are classified under level 2.

        Investments: HP holds time deposits, corporate and foreign government notes and bonds, commercial paper, and common stock and equivalents. In general, and where applicable, HP uses quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities to determine fair value. If quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities are not available to determine fair value, HP uses quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly. If quoted prices for identical or similar assets are not available, HP uses internally developed valuation models, whose inputs include bid prices, and third party valuations utilizing underlying assets assumptions.

        Derivative Instruments: As discussed in Note 9, HP mainly holds non-speculative forwards, swaps and options to hedge certain foreign currency and interest rate exposures. When active market quotes are not available, HP uses industry standard valuation models. Where applicable, these models project

future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs including interest rate curves, credit risk, foreign exchange rates, and forward and spot prices for currencies. In certain cases, market-based observable inputs are not available and, in those cases, HP uses management judgment to develop assumptions which are used to determine fair value.

        The following table presents HP's assets and liabilities as of July 31, 2009 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

These assets are recognized at fair value when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. As of July 31, 2009, such assets with a total fair value of $2 million were included in the level 2 hierarchy. In the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009, HP recorded an impairment charge of $3 million and $37 million, respectively. Of the $37 million, $33 million was charged to goodwill.

Note 8: Fair Value (Continued)

        HP reviews the carrying values of the investments when events and circumstances warrant and considers all available evidence in evaluating when declines in fair value are other-than-temporary. The fair values of the investments are determined based on valuation techniques using the best information available, which may include quoted market prices, market comparables, and discounted cash flow projections. An impairment charge is recorded when the cost of the investment exceeds its fair value, is determined to be other-than-temporary and is related to credit loss for debt securities.

        Effective November 1, 2008, HP also adopted SFAS 159, which allows an entity to elect to measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis. Subsequent to the election, any unrealized gains and losses from the fair value measurement of the financial instruments will be recognized in earnings. As of July 31, 2009, HP did not elect such option for any eligible financial instruments.

Note 9: Financial Instruments

Investments in Debt and Equity Securities

        Investments in short-term and long-term available-for-sale debt and equity securities at fair value as of July 31, 2009 and October 31, 2008 were as follows:

        Time deposits consist of certificate of deposits with maturity dates greater than three months. Other debt securities consist primarily of fixed-interest securities invested for early retirement purposes and also a fixed income fund. Equity securities in public companies are primarily common stock.

        As discussed in Note 8, HP estimated the fair values based on quoted market prices or pricing models using current market rates. These estimated fair values may not be representative of actual values that could have been realized as of the reporting period or that will be realized in the future.

        The gross unrealized loss as of July 31, 2009 was due primarily to declines in commercial paper that had been in a continuous loss position for less than twelve months. HP intends to hold the commercial paper and believes that it is unlikely that HP will be required to sell the commercial paper before recovery of the amortized cost. In the three months ended July 31, 2009, HP did not recognize

any impairment charge associated with the commercial paper. In the nine months ended July 31, 2009, HP recognized an impairment charge of $2 million associated with its commercial paper.

        Contractual maturities of available-for-sale debt securities at July 31, 2009 were as follows:

        There were no sales or maturities of available-for-sale and other securities for the three months ended July 31, 2009. Proceeds from sales or maturities of available-for-sale and other securities were $103 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2009. There were no realized gains or losses on available-for-sale and other securities for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009. The specific identification method is used to account for gains and losses on available-for-sale securities.

        A summary of the carrying values and balance sheet classification of all short-term and long-term investments in debt and equity securities as of July 31, 2009 and October 31, 2008 was as follows:

        Equity securities in privately-held companies include cost basis and equity method investments. Marketable trading securities and other investments consist primarily of marketable trading securities held to generate returns that HP expects to offset changes in certain liabilities related to deferred compensation arrangements. HP includes gains or losses from changes in fair value of these securities, offset by losses or gains on the related liabilities, in Interest and other, net, in HP's Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. The net losses associated with these securities were $5 million and $11 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009.

Note 9: Financial Instruments (Continued)

Derivative Financial Instruments

        On February 1, 2009, HP adopted SFAS 161 as referenced in Note 1. The adoption of SFAS 161 requires additional disclosures about HP's objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments, the accounting for the derivative instruments and related hedged items under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"), and the effect of derivative instruments and related hedged items on the financial statements. The adoption had no financial impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements.

        HP is a global company that is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and interest rate changes in the normal course of its business. As part of its risk management strategy, HP uses derivative instruments, primarily forward contracts, option contracts, interest rate swaps, and total return swaps, to hedge certain foreign currency, interest rate and, to a lesser extent, equity exposures. HP's objective is to offset gains and losses resulting from these exposures with losses and gains on the derivative contracts used to hedge them, thereby reducing volatility of earnings or protecting fair values of assets and liabilities. HP does not have any leveraged derivatives. HP does not use derivative contracts for speculative purposes. HP applies hedge accounting based upon the criteria established by SFAS 133, whereby HP designates its derivatives as fair value hedges, cash flow hedges or hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation ("net investment hedges"). Additionally, for derivatives not designated as hedging instruments under SFAS 133, HP categorizes those economic hedges as other derivatives. HP recognizes all derivatives in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets at fair value and reports them in Other current assets, Long-term financing receivables and other assets, Other accrued liabilities, or Other liabilities. HP classifies cash flows from the derivative programs as operating activities in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Cash Flows.

        As a result of the use of derivative instruments, HP is exposed to the risk that counterparties to derivative contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate the counterparty credit risk, HP has a policy of only entering into contracts with carefully selected major financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and other factors, and HP maintains dollar and term limits that correspond to each institution's credit rating. HP's established policies and procedures for mitigating credit risk on principal transactions and short-term cash include reviewing and establishing limits for credit exposure and continually assessing the creditworthiness of counterparties. Master agreements with counterparties include master netting arrangements as further mitigation of credit exposure to counterparties. These arrangements permit HP to net amounts due from HP to a counterparty with amounts due to HP from a counterparty, which reduces the maximum loss from credit risk in the event of counterparty default.

        Certain of HP's derivative instruments contain credit-risk-related contingent features, such as a provision whereby the counterparties to the derivative instruments could request collateralization on derivative instruments in net liability positions if HP's credit rating falls below investment grade. As of July 31, 2009, HP was not required to post any collateral and HP did not have any derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a significant net liability position.

Note 9: Financial Instruments (Continued)

Fair Value Hedges

        HP enters into fair value hedges to reduce the exposure of its debt portfolio to interest rate risk. HP issues long-term debt in U.S. dollars based on market conditions at the time of financing. HP uses interest rate swaps to modify the market risk exposures in connection with the debt to achieve primarily U.S. dollar LIBOR-based floating interest expense. The swap transactions generally involve principal and interest obligations for U.S. dollar-denominated amounts. Alternatively, HP may choose not to swap fixed for floating interest payments or may terminate a previously executed swap if it believes a larger proportion of fixed-rate debt would be beneficial. When investing in fixed-rate instruments, HP may enter into interest rate swaps that convert the fixed interest returns into variable interest returns and would classify these swaps as fair value hedges. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, HP recognizes the gain or loss on the derivative instrument, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item, in Interest and other, net in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings in the current period.

Cash Flow Hedges

        HP uses a combination of forward contracts and options designated as cash flow hedges to protect against the foreign currency exchange rate risks inherent in its forecasted net revenue and, to a lesser extent, cost of sales, operating expense, and intercompany lease loan denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. HP's foreign currency cash flow hedges mature generally within six months. However, certain leasing revenue-related forward contracts and intercompany lease loan forward contracts extend for the duration of the lease term, which can be up to five years. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, HP initially records the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of stockholders' equity and subsequently reclassifies these amounts into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. HP reports the effective portion of cash flow hedges in the same financial statement line item as the changes in value of the hedged item. During the nine months ended July 31, 2009, HP did not discontinue any cash flow hedge for which it was probable that a forecasted transaction would not occur.

Net Investment Hedges

        HP uses forward contracts designated as net investment hedges to hedge net investments in certain foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is the local currency. For derivative instruments that are designated as net investment hedges, HP records the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument together with changes in the hedged items in cumulative translation adjustment as a separate component of stockholders' equity.

Other Derivatives

        Other derivatives not designated as hedging instruments under SFAS 133 consist primarily of forward contracts HP uses to hedge foreign currency balance sheet exposures. HP also uses total return swaps and, to a lesser extent, interest rate swaps, based on the equity and fixed income indices, to hedge its executive deferred compensation plan liability. For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments under SFAS 133, HP recognizes changes in the fair values in earnings in the

28

Note 9: Financial Instruments (Continued)

period of change. HP recognizes the gain or loss on foreign currency forward contracts used to hedge balance sheet exposures in Interest and other, net in the same period as the remeasurement gain and loss of the related foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. HP recognizes the gain or loss on the total return swaps and interest rate swaps in Interest and other, net in the same period as the gain or loss from the change in market value of the executive deferred compensation plan liability.

Hedge Effectiveness

        For interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges, HP measures effectiveness by offsetting the change in fair value of the hedged debt with the change in fair value of the derivative. For foreign currency options and forward contracts designated as cash flow or net investment hedges, HP measures effectiveness by comparing the cumulative change in the hedge contract with the cumulative change in the hedged item, both of which are based on forward rates. HP recognizes any ineffective portion of the hedge, as well as amounts not included in the assessment of effectiveness, in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. As of July 31, 2009, the portion of hedging instruments' gain or loss excluded from the assessment of effectiveness was not material for fair value, cash flow or net investment hedges. Hedge ineffectiveness for fair value, cash flow and net investment hedges was not material for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet

        As discussed in Note 8, HP estimates the fair values of derivatives based on quoted market prices or pricing models using current market rates and records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair

        The before-tax effect of derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings was as follows:

Other Financial Instruments

        For certain of HP's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, financing receivables, notes payable and short-term borrowings, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The estimated fair value of HP's short- and long-term debt was approximately $17.3 billion at July 31, 2009, compared to a carrying value of $17.2 billion at that date. The estimated fair value of the debt is based primarily on quoted market prices, as well as borrowing rates currently available to HP for bank loans with similar terms and maturities.

Note 10: Financing Receivables and Operating Leases

        Financing receivables represent sales-type and direct-financing leases resulting from the marketing of HP's and third-party products. These receivables typically have terms from two to five years and are usually collateralized by a security interest in the underlying assets. Financing receivables also include

billed receivables from operating leases. The components of net financing receivables, which are included in financing receivables and long-term financing receivables and other assets, were as follows:

        Equipment leased to customers under operating leases was $3.0 billion at July 31, 2009 and $2.3 billion at October 31, 2008 and is included in Property, plant and equipment in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Accumulated depreciation on these operating leases was $0.9 billion at July 31, 2009 and $0.5 billion at October 31, 2008.

Note 11: Guarantees

Guarantees and Indemnifications

        In the ordinary course of business, HP may provide certain clients, principally governmental entities, with subsidiary performance guarantees and/or financial performance guarantees, which may be backed by standby letters of credit or surety bonds. In general, HP would be liable for the amounts of these guarantees in the event HP or HP's subsidiaries' nonperformance permits termination of the related contract by the client, the likelihood of which HP believes is remote. HP believes that the company is in compliance with the performance obligations under all material service contracts for which there is a performance guarantee.

        As a result of the acquisition of EDS, HP acquired certain service contracts supported by client financing or securitization arrangements. Under specific circumstances involving non-performance resulting in service contract termination or failure to comply with terms under the financing arrangement, HP would be required to acquire certain assets. HP considers the possibility of its failure to comply to be remote and the asset amounts involved to be immaterial.

        In the ordinary course of business, HP enters into contractual arrangements under which HP may agree to indemnify the third party to such arrangement from any losses incurred relating to the services they perform on behalf of HP or for losses arising from certain events as defined within the particular contract, which may include, for example, litigation or claims relating to past performance. Such indemnification obligations may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. Historically, payments made related to these indemnifications have been immaterial.

Warranty

        HP provides for 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, product warranty terms offered to customers, ongoing product failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure, as well as specific product class failures outside of HP's baseline experience, affect the estimated warranty obligation. If actual product failure rates, repair rates or any other post sales support costs differ from these estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.

        The changes in HP's aggregate product warranty liabilities for the nine months ended July 31, 2009 were as follows:

        HP may redeem some or all of the Global Notes set forth in the above table at any time at the redemption prices described in the prospectus supplements relating thereto. The Global Notes are senior unsecured debt.

        HP registered the sale of up to $3.0 billion of debt or global securities, common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares and warrants under a shelf registration statement in March 2002 (the "2002 Shelf Registration Statement"). The 2002 Shelf Registration Statement expired on December 1, 2008, and, accordingly, HP is no longer able to issue any additional securities under this Registration Statement.

        In May 2009, HP filed a shelf registration statement (the "2009 Shelf Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to enable the Company to offer and sell, from time to time, in one or more offerings, an unspecified amount of debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares and warrants. The 2009 Shelf Registration Statement replaced a similar registration statement filed in May 2006 that expired in May 2009 (the "2006 Shelf Registration Statement"). As of July 31, 2009, HP had $10.8 billion of global notes issued under the 2006 Shelf Registration Statement and $2.0 billion of global notes issued under the 2009 Shelf Registration Statement. On December 5, 2008, HP issued $2.0 billion of global notes under the 2006 Shelf Registration Statement. The global notes issued in December 2008 are due in March 2014, bear interest at a fixed interest rate of 6.125% per annum and were issued at a discount to par of 99.561%. On February 26, 2009, HP issued an additional $2.8 billion of global notes under the 2006 Shelf Registration Statement. The global notes include $275 million of floating rate notes at three-month USD LIBOR plus 1.75% due February 2011 issued at par, $1.0 billion of notes due February 2012 with a fixed rate of 4.25% per annum issued at a discount to par of 99.956% and $1.5 billion of notes due June 2014 with a fixed rate of 4.75% per annum issued at a discount to par of 99.993%. On May 27, 2009, HP issued $2.0 billion of global notes under the 2009 Shelf Registration Statement. The global notes issued in May 2009 include $1.0 billion of notes due May 2011 with a fixed rate of 2.25% per annum issued at a discount to par of 99.967%, $750 million of floating rate notes due May 2011 at three-month USD LIBOR plus 1.05% issued at par, and $250 million of notes due August 2012 with a fixed rate of 2.95% per annum issued at a discount to par of 99.984%.

the December 2008, February 2009 and May 2009 offerings for general corporate purposes and the repayment of short-term commercial paper, some of which was issued in connection with its acquisition of EDS.

        In May 2008, HP's Board of Directors approved increasing the capacity of HP's U.S. commercial paper program by $10.0 billion to $16.0 billion. HP's subsidiaries are authorized to issue up to an additional $1.0 billion of commercial paper, of which $500 million of capacity is currently available to be used by Hewlett-Packard International Bank PLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of HP, for its Euro Commercial Paper/Certificate of Deposit Programme.

        In October 2008, HP registered for the Commercial Paper Funding Facility ("CPFF") provided by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The facility enables HP to issue three-month unsecured commercial paper through a special purpose vehicle of the Federal Reserve at a rate established by the CPFF program, which is currently equal to a spread over the three-month overnight index swap rate. The maximum amount of commercial paper that HP may issue at any time through this program is $10.4 billion less the total principal amount of all other outstanding commercial paper that HP has issued. The CPFF program is currently scheduled to expire on February 1, 2010. As of July 31, 2009, HP had not issued any commercial paper under the CPFF program.

        HP has a $2.9 billion five-year credit facility expiring in May 2012. In February and July 2008, HP entered into additional 364-day credit facilities of $3.0 billion and $8.0 billion, respectively. The February 2008 credit facility expired in February 2009, at which time HP entered into a new $3.5 billion 364-day credit facility. HP terminated the July 2008 credit facility in May 2009, which reduced the total amount available under its credit facilities to $6.4 billion. Commitment fees, interest rates and other terms of borrowing under the credit facilities vary based on HP's external credit ratings. The credit facilities are senior unsecured committed borrowing arrangements primarily to support the issuance of U.S. commercial paper.

        HP also maintains uncommitted lines of credit from a number of financial institutions that are available through various foreign subsidiaries. The amount available for use as of July 31, 2009 was approximately $1.3 billion.

        Included in Other, including capital lease obligations, are borrowings that are collateralized by certain financing receivable assets. As of July 31, 2009, the carrying value of the assets approximated the carrying value of the borrowings of $10 million.

        At July 31, 2009, HP was able to issue an unspecified amount of additional debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares and warrants under the 2009 Shelf Registration Statement. As of that date, HP also had up to approximately $17.5 billion of available borrowing resources, including $16.2 billion under its commercial paper programs, $6.4 billion of which is supported by its credit facilities, and approximately $1.3 billion under other programs.

Note 13: Income Taxes

Provision for Taxes

        HP's effective tax rate was 17.8% and 20.6% for the three months ended July 31, 2009 and July 31, 2008, respectively, and 18.1% and 20.6% for the nine months ended July 31, 2009 and July 31, 2008, respectively. HP's effective tax rate generally differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35%

due to favorable tax rates associated with certain earnings from HP's operations in lower-tax jurisdictions throughout the world. HP has not provided U.S. taxes for all of such earnings because HP plans to reinvest some of those earnings indefinitely outside the United States.

        In the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009, HP recorded discrete items with a net tax benefit of $145 million and $163 million, respectively, decreasing the effective tax rate. These amounts include a net tax benefit of $141 million for the adjustment to estimated fiscal 2008 tax accruals upon filing the 2008 U.S. federal income tax return and other miscellaneous discrete items that resulted in a net tax benefit of $4 million and $22 million for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009, respectively.

        In the three and nine months ended July 31, 2008, HP recorded discrete items with a net tax benefit of $5 million and $52 million, respectively, decreasing the effective tax rate. These amounts include reductions to net income tax accruals of $72 million and $296 million for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2008, respectively, as a result of settlements with tax authorities regarding certain transfer pricing issues for fiscal years 1993 through 2005. These favorable adjustments in the three and nine months ended July 31, 2008 were offset in part by a tax charge of $44 million for the adjustment to estimated fiscal 2007 tax accruals upon filing the 2007 U.S. federal income tax return, and by net increases of $30 million and $235 million, respectively, to deferred tax liabilities related to earnings outside the United States. HP recorded other miscellaneous discrete items that resulted in a net tax benefit of $7 million and $35 million for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2008, respectively.

        During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, the amounts of gross unrecognized tax benefits determined in accordance with Financial Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48") decreased by $160 million to $2.1 billion as of July 31, 2009, of which up to $775 million would affect HP's effective tax rate if realized.

        HP recognizes interest expense and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits and interest income from favorable settlements and income tax receivables within income tax expense. As of July 31, 2009 HP had accrued a net $158 million income tax payable for interest and penalties. There were no material amounts of net interest income on tax overpayments recorded during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009.

        HP engages in continuous discussion and negotiation with tax authorities regarding tax matters in the various jurisdictions. HP does not expect complete resolution of any Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") audit cycle within the next 12 months. However, it is reasonably possible that certain federal, foreign and state tax issues may be concluded in the next 12 months, including issues involving transfer pricing and other matters. Accordingly, HP believes it is reasonably possible that its existing unrecognized tax benefits may be reduced by an amount up to $170 million within the next twelve months.

        On July 30, 2009, HP received a Notice of Deficiency from the IRS for its fiscal 2004 and 2005 tax years. The Notice of Deficiency asserted that HP owes additional tax of $92 million and penalties of $5 million. In addition to the proposed deficiency for fiscal 2004 and 2005, the IRS's adjustments for both years, if sustained, would reduce the tax benefits of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards to subsequent years by approximately $563 million. HP plans to contest certain of the adjustments

proposed in the Notice of Deficiency. HP believes that it has provided adequate reserves for any tax deficiencies or reductions in tax benefits that could result from the IRS actions.

        HP is subject to income tax in the United States and over sixty foreign countries and is subject to routine corporate income tax audits in many of these jurisdictions. In addition, HP is subject to numerous ongoing audits by state and foreign tax authorities. HP has received from the IRS Notices of Deficiency for its fiscal 1999, 2000, 2004 and 2005 tax years, and Revenue Agent's Reports for its fiscal 2001 and 2002 tax years. The IRS began an audit of HP's 2006 and 2007 income tax returns in 2009. With respect to major foreign and state tax jurisdictions, HP is no longer subject to tax authority examinations for years prior to 1999. HP believes that adequate reserves have been provided for all open tax years.

        The breakdown between current and long-term deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities was as follows:

Note 14: Stockholders' Equity

Share Repurchase Program

        HP's share repurchase program authorizes both open market and private repurchase transactions. In the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009, HP executed share repurchases of 29 million shares and 74 million shares, respectively. For the three months ended July 31, 2009, repurchases of 28 million shares were settled for $1.0 billion. For the nine months ended July 31, 2009, repurchases of approximately 85 million shares were settled for $3.0 billion, which included 14 million shares repurchased in transactions that were executed in fiscal 2008 but settled in the first nine months of fiscal 2009. HP had approximately 3 million shares repurchased in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 that will be settled in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. HP paid approximately $1.6 billion and $7.7 billion in connection with repurchases of approximately 34 million shares and 171 million shares in the three and nine months ended July 31, 2008, respectively.

        As of July 31, 2009, HP had remaining authorization of $6.1 billion for future share repurchases under the $8.0 billion repurchase authorization approved by HP's Board of Directors on September 19, 2008.

        Effective April 1, 2009, HP matching contributions under both the U.S. HP 401(k) Plan and the EDS 401(k) Plan were changed to a quarterly, discretionary, performance-based match of up to a maximum of 4% of eligible compensation for all U.S. employees, which will be determined each fiscal quarter based on business results. HP matching contributions will vary from 0% to 100% of the maximum 4% match, based on factors such as quarterly earnings, market share growth, and performance relative to market and economic conditions. HP's matching contributions for the extended period of April 1, 2009 through July 31, 2009 was 100% of the maximum 4% match.

Employer Contributions and Funding Policy

        HP previously disclosed in its Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008 that it expected to contribute approximately $360 million to its non-U.S. pension plans and approximately $35 million to cover benefit payments to U.S. non-qualified plan participants in fiscal 2009. In addition, HP expected to pay approximately $70 million to cover benefit claims for HP's post-retirement benefit plans. HP's funding policy is to contribute cash to its pension plans so that it meets at least the minimum contribution requirements, as established by local government and funding and taxing authorities.

        As of July 31, 2009, HP has made $394 million of contributions to non-U.S. pension plans, paid $24 million to cover benefit payments to U.S. non-qualified plan participants, and paid $29 million to cover benefit claims under post-retirement benefit plans. HP presently anticipates making additional contributions of approximately $70 million to its non-U.S. pension plans and approximately $5 million to its U.S. non-qualified plan participants and expects to pay up to $15 million to cover benefit claims under post-retirement benefit plans during the remainder of fiscal 2009. HP's pension and other post-retirement benefit costs and obligations are dependent on various assumptions. Differences between expected and actual returns on investments will be reflected as unrecognized gains or losses, and such gains or losses will be amortized and recorded in future periods. Poor financial performance of asset markets in any year could lead to increased contributions in certain countries and increased future pension plan expense. Asset gains or losses are determined at the measurement date and amortized over the remaining service life or life expectancy of plan participants. HP's next expected measurement date is October 31, 2009.

Note 16: Litigation and Contingencies

        HP is involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, including those identified below, consisting of intellectual property, commercial, securities, employment, employee benefits and environmental matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies," HP records a provision for a liability when management believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. HP believes it has adequate provisions for any such matters. HP reviews these provisions at least quarterly and adjusts these provisions to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Based on its experience, HP believes that any damage amounts claimed in the specific matters discussed below are not a meaningful indicator of HP's potential liability. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. However, HP believes that it has valid defenses with respect to legal matters pending against it. Nevertheless, it is possible that cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these contingencies or because of the diversion of management's attention and the creation of significant expenses.

Pending Litigation, Proceedings and Investigations

        Copyright levies. As described below, proceedings are ongoing against HP in certain European Union ("EU") member countries, including litigation in Germany, seeking to impose levies upon equipment (such as multifunction devices ("MFDs"), personal computers ("PCs") and printers) and alleging that these devices enable producing private copies of copyrighted materials. The total levies due, if imposed, would be based upon the number of products sold and the per-product amounts of the levies, which vary. Some EU member countries that do not yet have levies on digital devices are expected to implement similar legislation to enable them to extend existing levy schemes, while some other EU member countries are expected to limit the scope of levy schemes and applicability in the digital hardware environment. HP, other companies and various industry associations are opposing the extension of levies to the digital environment and advocating alternative models of compensation to rights holders.

        VerwertungsGesellschaft Wort ("VG Wort"), a collection agency representing certain copyright holders, instituted non-binding arbitration proceedings against HP in June 2001 in Germany before the arbitration board of the Patent and Trademark Office. The proceedings relate to whether and to what extent copyright levies for photocopiers should be imposed in accordance with copyright laws implemented in Germany on MFDs that allegedly enable the production of copies by private persons. Following unsuccessful arbitration, VG Wort filed a lawsuit against HP in May 2004 in the Stuttgart Civil Court in Stuttgart, Germany seeking levies on certain MFDs sold from 1997 to 2001. On December 22, 2004, the court held that HP is liable for payments regarding MFDs sold in Germany, and ordered HP to pay VG Wort an amount equal to 5% of the outstanding levies claimed, plus interest, on MFDs sold in Germany up to December 2001. VG Wort appealed this decision. On July 6, 2005, the Stuttgart Court of Appeals ordered HP to pay VG Wort levies based on the published tariffs for photocopiers in Germany (which range from EUR 38.35 to EUR 613.56 per unit), plus interest, on MFDs sold in Germany up to December 2001. HP appealed the Stuttgart Court of Appeals' decision to the Bundesgerichtshof (the German Federal Supreme Court). On January 30, 2008, the German Federal Supreme Court held that the MFDs covered by this lawsuit were photocopiers within the meaning of the German copyright law that was in effect until December 31, 2007, and, therefore, are

subject to the levies on photocopiers established by that law. HP subsequently appealed the decision by filing a claim with the German Federal Constitutional Court challenging that ruling and the application of conventional photocopier levies for MFDs sold in Germany up to December 2001. On June 4, 2009, the German Constitutional Court declined to hear HP's appeal.

        On September 26, 2005, VG Wort filed an additional lawsuit against HP in the Stuttgart Civil Court in Stuttgart, Germany seeking assurance of full payment of levies on MFD units sold in Germany between 1997 and 2001, as well as for MFDs sold from 2002 onwards. On July 26, 2007, the court issued a decision following the ruling of the Stuttgart Court of Appeals with respect to the initial VG Wort lawsuit as described above. HP appealed the decision. On March 25, 2009, the German Association for Information Technology, Telecommunications and New Media e.V. entered into a settlement agreement with VG Wort and Verwertungsgesellschaft Bild-Kunst, another collection agency representing copyright holders ("VG Bild-Kunst"), that provides for the payment of levies on MFDs sold from 2002 through 2007. The levies vary from approximately €13 to €307 per unit depending on the type of device, the date sold and the copy speed and are subject to reduction if VG Wort or VG Bild-Kunst grants more favorable rates in the future to parties within Germany that are not covered by the settlement. HP has acceded to the settlement and paid all amounts due thereunder.

        In July 2004, VG Wort filed a separate lawsuit against HP in the Stuttgart Civil Court seeking levies on printers. On December 22, 2004, the court held that HP is liable for payments regarding all printers using ASCII code sold in Germany but did not determine the amount payable per unit. HP appealed this decision in January 2005 to the Stuttgart Court of Appeals. On May 11, 2005, the Stuttgart Court of Appeals issued a decision confirming that levies are due. On June 6, 2005, HP filed an appeal to the German Federal Supreme Court in Karlsruhe. On December 6, 2007, the German Federal Supreme Court issued a judgment that printers are not subject to levies under the existing law. The court issued a written decision on January 25, 2008, and VG Wort subsequently filed an application with the German Federal Supreme Court under Section 321a of the German Code of Civil Procedure contending that the court did not consider their arguments. On May 9, 2008, the German Federal Supreme Court denied VG Wort's application. In addition, VG Wort has appealed the decision by filing a claim with the German Federal Constitutional Court challenging the ruling that printers are not subject to levies. HP has been directed by the Constitutional Court to respond to VG Wort's claim by October 12, 2009.

        In September 2003, VG Wort filed a lawsuit against Fujitsu Siemens Computer GmbH ("FSC") in the Munich Civil Court in Munich, Germany seeking levies on PCs. This is an industry test case in Germany, and HP has agreed not to object to the delay if VG Wort sues HP for such levies on PCs following a final decision against FSC. On December 23, 2004, the Munich Civil Court held that PCs are subject to a levy and that FSC must pay 12 euros plus compound interest for each PC sold in Germany since March 2001. FSC appealed this decision in January 2005 to the Munich Court of Appeals. On December 15, 2005, the Munich Court of Appeals affirmed the Munich Civil Court decision. FSC filed an appeal with the German Federal Supreme Court in February 2006. On October 2, 2008, the German Federal Supreme Court issued a judgment that PCs were not photocopiers within the meaning of the German copyright law that was in effect until December 31, 2007 and, therefore, not subject to the levies on photocopiers established by that law. VG Wort has filed a claim with the German Federal Constitutional Court challenging that ruling.

        On December 29, 2005, ZPU, a joint association of various German collection societies, instituted non-binding arbitration proceedings against HP before the arbitration board of the Patent and Trademark Office demanding reporting of every PC sold by HP in Germany from January 2002 through December 2005 and seeking a levy of 18.42 euros plus tax for each PC sold during that period. HP filed a notice of defense in connection with these proceedings in February 2006, and an arbitration hearing was held in December 2006. On July 31, 2007, the arbitration board issued a ruling proposing a levy of 15 euros plus tax for each PC sold during that period. HP has rejected the ruling of the arbitration board, and the arbitration proceedings have concluded. ZPU has filed a claim with the Munich Court of Appeals to which HP has responded. A hearing date has been set by the court for February 18, 2010.

        Based on industry opposition to the extension of levies to digital products, HP's assessments of the merits of various proceedings and HP's estimates of the units impacted and levies, HP has accrued amounts that it believes are adequate to address the matters described above. However, the ultimate resolution of these matters and the associated financial impact on HP, including the number of units impacted, the amount of levies imposed and the ability of HP to recover such amounts through increased prices, remains uncertain.

        Sky Subscribers Services Limited and British Sky Broadcasting Limited v. EDS and EDS Limited (UK) is a lawsuit filed on August 17, 2004 by Sky Subscribers Services Limited and British Sky Broadcasting Limited against Electronic Data Systems Corporation ("EDS"), a company that HP acquired in August 2008, and EDS Limited (UK) ("EDS UK"), one of EDS's subsidiaries, alleging deceit, negligent misrepresentation, negligent misstatement and breach of contract. The claims arose out of a customer relationship management project that was awarded to EDS in 2000, the principal objective of which was to develop a customer call center in Scotland. EDS's main role in the project was as systems integrator. On November 12, 2004, EDS and EDS UK filed their defense and counterclaim denying the claims and seeking damages for monies owed under the contract. The trial of this action commenced on October 15, 2007, and final arguments concluded on July 30, 2008. At trial, the plaintiffs claimed damages in excess of £700 million, and EDS and EDS UK counterclaimed for damages of approximately £5 million. HP is awaiting a decision from the court.

        Skold, et al. v. Intel Corporation and Hewlett-Packard Company is a lawsuit in which HP was joined on June 14, 2004 that is pending in state court in Santa Clara County, California. The lawsuit alleges that HP (along with Intel) misled the public by suppressing and concealing the alleged material fact that systems that use the Intel Pentium 4 processor are less powerful and slower than systems using the Intel Pentium III processor and processors made by a competitor of Intel. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, restitution, attorneys' fees and costs, and certification of a nationwide class. On February 27, 2009, the court denied without prejudice plaintiffs' motion for nationwide class certification for a third time. The plaintiffs have appealed the court's decision.

        Inkjet Printer Litigation. As described below, HP is involved in several lawsuits claiming breach of express and implied warranty, unjust enrichment, deceptive advertising and unfair business practices where the plaintiffs have alleged, among other things, that HP employed a "smart chip" in certain inkjet printing products in order to register ink depletion prematurely and to render the cartridge unusable through a built-in expiration date that is hidden, not documented in marketing materials to consumers, or both. The plaintiffs have also contended that consumers received false ink depletion

Four class actions against HP and its subsidiary, Hewlett-Packard (Canada) Co., are pending in Canada, one commenced in British Columbia in February 2006, two commenced in Quebec in April 2006 and May 2006, respectively, and one commenced in Ontario in June 2006, where the plaintiffs are seeking class certification, restitution, declaratory relief, injunctive relief and unspecified statutory, compensatory and punitive damages.

        Baggett v. HP is a consumer class action filed against HP on June 6, 2007 in the United States District Court for the Central District of California alleging that HP employs a technology in its LaserJet color printers whereby the printing process shuts down prematurely, thus preventing customers from using the toner that is allegedly left in the cartridge. The plaintiffs also allege that HP fails to disclose to consumers that they will be unable to utilize the toner remaining in the cartridge after the printer shuts down. The complaint seeks certification of a nationwide class of purchasers of all HP LaserJet color printers and seeks unspecified damages, restitution, disgorgement, injunctive relief, attorneys' fees and costs. The plaintiffs' motion for class certification and HP's motion for summary judgment are currently pending before the court.

        Rich v. HP is a consumer class action filed against HP on May 22, 2006 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The suit alleges that HP designed its color inkjet printers to unnecessarily use color ink in addition to black ink when printing black and white images and text. The plaintiffs are seeking to certify a nationwide injunctive class and a California-only damages class. A class certification hearing is scheduled for January 8, 2010.

        On December 27, 2001, Cornell University and the Cornell Research Foundation, Inc. filed a complaint, amended on September 6, 2002, against HP in United States District Court for the Northern District of New York alleging that HP's PA-RISC 8000 family of microprocessors, and servers and workstations incorporating those processors, infringe a patent assigned to Cornell Research Foundation, Inc. that describes a way of executing microprocessor instructions. The complaint sought declaratory and injunctive relief and unspecified damages. The patent at issue in this litigation, United States Patent No. 4,807,115, expired on February 21, 2006. Therefore, the plaintiffs are no longer entitled to seek injunctive relief against HP. This matter was tried between May 19 and May 30, 2008,

and, on May 30, 2008, a jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs in the amount of $184 million. On March 30, 2009, the trial court issued four post-trial decisions. The court denied several of HP's post-trial motions, but granted HP's motion to reduce the damages award. The court reduced the award to approximately $53 million and subsequently entered judgment in favor of the plaintiffs in that amount. On April 10, 2009, HP filed a notice that it will appeal the judgment to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. On May 15, 2009, the court awarded approximately $17 million in pre-judgment interest and approximately $1 million in costs and subsequently entered an amended judgment reflecting those awards. On June 2, 2009, the court entered a final amended judgment reflecting the total amount of damages, pre-judgment interest and taxable costs. On June 4, 2009, HP filed an amended notice of appeal.

        Fair Labor Standards Act Litigation. As described below, HP is involved in several lawsuits in which the plaintiffs are seeking unpaid overtime compensation and other damages based on allegations that various employees of EDS or HP have been misclassified as exempt employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act and/or in violation of the California Labor Code:

•

Cunningham and Cunningham, et al. v. Electronic Data Systems Corporation is a purported action filed on May 10, 2006 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York claiming that current and former EDS employees involved in installing and/or maintaining computer software and hardware were misclassified as exempt employees. Two other purported class actions, Steavens, et al. v. Electronic Data Systems Corporation, which was filed on October 23, 2007, and Azar v. Electronic Data Systems Corporation, which was filed on February 20, 2009, are also pending in the same court alleging similar facts.



•

Heffelfinger, et al v. Electronic Data Systems Corporation is a class action filed on November 2006 in California Superior Court claiming that certain EDS information technology workers in California were misclassified exempt employees. The case was subsequently transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, which, on January 7, 2008, certified a class of information technology workers in California. On June 6, 2008, the court granted the defendant's motion for summary judgment. The plaintiffs subsequently filed an appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Three other purported class actions originally filed in California Superior Court, Jameson, et al. v. Electronic Data Systems Corporation, which was filed on July 16, 2008, Karlbom, et al. v. Electronic Data Systems Corporation, which was filed on March 16, 2009, and George, et al. v. Electronic Data Systems Corporation, which was filed on April 2, 2009, are pending in the U.S. District Court for the Central or Southern District of California alleging similar facts.



•

Mathias, et al. v. Hewlett-Packard Company is a purported class action filed on August 21, 2009 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division, claiming that certain HP presales technical consulting employees were misclassified as exempt employees.

        The United States of America, ex rel. Norman Rille and Neal Roberts v. Hewlett-Packard Company, et al. In 2004, two private individuals filed a civil "qui tam" complaint under the False Claims Act in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas containing generalized allegations that HP and several other companies participated in an industry-wide practice of using partnership and alliance programs to make improper payments and cause the submission of false claims in connection

with contracts to provide products and services to the federal government. On April 12, 2007, the U.S. Department of Justice intervened in the qui tam action and filed a complaint against HP (and several other companies in separate actions) on behalf of the United States containing allegations that HP violated the False Claims Act and the Anti-Kickback Act of 1986 by providing millions of dollars in kickbacks to its alliance partners, including "influencer fees" and "new business opportunity rebates." The U.S. complaint further alleges that HP violated the False Claims Act and the Anti-Kickback Act, breached its federal government contracts, induced the federal government to make payments to HP that HP was not entitled to receive under those contracts, and was unjustly enriched by expressly or impliedly making false statements, records or certifications to the federal government that it complied with and would continue to comply with the Anti-Kickback Act and by submitting claims to the government that allegedly were inflated because they included the amounts of the influencer fees and new business opportunity rebates. The U.S. complaint seeks treble damages plus civil penalties in connection with the alleged violations of the False Claims Act, double damages plus civil penalties in connection with the alleged violations of the Anti-Kickback Act and disgorgement of profits earned in connection with the breach of contract and unjust enrichment claims.

        Leak Investigation Proceedings. As described below, HP is or has been the subject of various governmental inquiries concerning the processes employed in an investigation into leaks of HP confidential information to members of the media that concluded in May 2006:

•

In August 2006, HP was informally contacted by the Attorney General of the State of California requesting information concerning the processes employed in the leak investigation. On December 7, 2006, HP announced that it entered into an agreement with the California Attorney General to resolve civil claims arising from the leak investigation, including a claim made by the California Attorney General in a Santa Clara County Superior Court action filed on December 7, 2006, that HP committed unfair business practices under California law in connection with the leak investigation. As a result of this agreement, which includes an injunction, the California Attorney General will not pursue civil claims against HP or its current and former directors, officers and employees. Under the terms of the agreement, HP paid a total of $14.5 million and agreed to implement and maintain for five years a series of measures designed to ensure that HP's corporate investigations are conducted in accordance with California law and the company's high ethical standards. Of the $14.5 million, $13.5 million has been used to create a Privacy and Piracy Fund to assist California prosecutors in investigating and prosecuting consumer privacy and information piracy violations, $650,000 was used to pay statutory damages and $350,000 reimbursed the California Attorney General's office for its investigation costs. There was no finding of liability against HP as part of the settlement.



•

Beginning in September 2006, HP received requests from the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the U.S. House of Representatives (the "Committee") for records and information concerning the leak investigation, securities transactions by HP officers and directors, including an August 25, 2006, securities transaction by Mark Hurd, HP's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and related matters. HP has responded to those requests. In addition, Mr. Hurd voluntarily gave testimony to the Committee regarding the leak investigation on September 28, 2006.

•

In September 2006, HP was informally contacted by the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California requesting similar information concerning the processes employed in the leak investigation. HP has responded to that request.



•

Beginning in September 2006, HP has received requests from the Division of Enforcement of the Securities and Exchange Commission for records and information and interviews with current and former HP directors and officers relating to the leak investigation, the resignation of Thomas J. Perkins from HP's Board of Directors, HP's May 22, 2006 and September 6, 2006 filings with the SEC on Form 8-K, stock repurchases by HP and securities transactions by its officers and directors that occurred between May 1 and October 1, 2006, and HP's policies, practices and approval of securities transactions. In May 2007, HP consented to the entry of an order by the SEC ordering HP to cease and desist from committing or causing violations of the public reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. HP has been advised by the staff of the Division of Enforcement that the staff has completed its investigation and does not intend to recommend that any other SEC enforcement action be brought in connection with these matters.



•

In September 2006, HP received a request from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission for records and information relating to the processes employed in the leak investigation. HP has responded to that request.

        In addition, four stockholder derivative lawsuits have been filed in California purportedly on behalf of HP stockholders seeking to recover damages for alleged breach of fiduciary duty and to require HP to improve its corporate governance and internal control procedures as a result of the activities of the leak investigation: Staehr v. Dunn, et al. was filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court on September 18, 2006; Worsham v. Dunn, et al. was filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court on September 14, 2006; Tansey v. Dunn, et al. was filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court on September 20, 2006; and Hall v. Dunn, et al. was filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court on September 25, 2006. On October 19, 2006, the Santa Clara County Superior Court consolidated the four California cases under the caption In re Hewlett-Packard Company Derivative Litigation. The consolidated complaint filed on November 19, 2006, also seeks to recover damages in connection with sales of HP stock alleged to have been made by certain current and former HP officers and directors while in possession of material non-public information. Two additional stockholder derivative lawsuits, Pifko v. Babbio, et al., filed on September 19, 2006, and Gross v. Babbio, et al., filed on November 21, 2006, were filed in Chancery Court, County of New Castle, Delaware; both seek to recover damages for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty and to obtain an order instructing the defendants to refrain from further breaches of fiduciary duty and to implement corrective measures that will prevent future occurrences of the alleged breaches of fiduciary duty. On January 24, 2007, the Delaware court consolidated the two cases under the caption In re Hewlett-Packard Company Derivative Litigation and subsequently stayed the proceedings, as the parties had reached a tentative settlement. The HP Board of Directors appointed a Special Litigation Committee consisting of independent Board members authorized to investigate, review and evaluate the facts and circumstances asserted in these derivative matters and to determine how HP should proceed in these matters. On December 14, 2007, HP and the plaintiffs in the California and Delaware derivative actions entered into an agreement to settle those lawsuits. Under the terms of the settlement, HP agreed to continue certain corporate governance

changes until December 31, 2012 and to pay the plaintiffs' attorneys' fees. The California court granted final approval to the settlement on March 11, 2008 and subsequently granted plaintiffs' counsel's fee application and dismissed the action. On June 12, 2008, the Delaware court granted final approval to the settlement and the plaintiffs' application for attorneys' fees and also dismissed the action. Because neither the dismissal of the California nor the Delaware derivative action was thereafter appealed, both cases are now concluded.

Concluded Litigation

        Schorsch v. HP was a consumer class action filed against HP on October 28, 2003 in Illinois state court alleging that HP had included an electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) chip in certain of its LaserJet printers that prematurely advises the user that the drum kit needs replacing in violation of Illinois state law. The plaintiffs subsequently filed an amended complaint seeking to expand the class from purchasers of drum kits to purchasers of all HP printer consumables that contain EEPROM chips. The plaintiffs sought certification of an Illinois-only class and unspecified damages, attorneys' fees and costs. The action was dismissed by the court with prejudice on December 20, 2008.

        CSIRO Patent Litigation. Microsoft Corporation, Hewlett-Packard Company, et al. v. Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation of Australia is an action filed by HP and two other plaintiffs on May 9, 2005, in the District Court for the Northern District of California seeking a declaratory judgment against Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation of Australia ("CSIRO") that HP's products employing the IEEE 802.11a and 802.11g wireless protocol standards do not infringe CSIRO's United States Patent No. 5,487,069 relating to wireless transmission of data at frequencies in excess of 10GHz. On September 22, 2005, CSIRO filed an answer and counterclaims alleging that all HP products which employ those wireless protocol standards infringe the CSIRO patent and seeking damages, including enhanced damages and attorneys' fees and costs, and an injunction against sales of infringing products. On December 12, 2006, CSIRO successfully moved to have the case transferred to the District Court of the Eastern District of Texas. In March 2009, the parties agreed to settle the matter and dismiss the pending lawsuit. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, HP agreed to pay CSIRO an amount of money that is immaterial to HP in exchange for protection from claims of infringement of the patent at issue, including all United States and worldwide continuations and counterparts of that patent, in the form of a combination of licenses and covenants not to sue. The parties filed a stipulation dismissing the case on March 26, 2009.

Environmental

        HP is subject to various federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations concerning environmental protection, including laws addressing the discharge of pollutants into the air and water, the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes, the cleanup of contaminated sites, the content of its products and the recycling, treatment and disposal of its products including batteries. In particular, HP faces increasing complexity in its product design and procurement operations as it adjusts to new and future requirements relating to the chemical and materials composition of its products, their safe use, the energy consumption associated with those products and product take-back legislation. HP could incur substantial costs, its products could be restricted from entering certain

jurisdictions, and it could face other sanctions if it were to violate or become liable under environmental laws or if its products become non-compliant with environmental laws. HP's potential exposure includes fines and civil or criminal sanctions, third-party property damage or personal injury claims and clean up costs. The amount and timing of costs under environmental laws are difficult to predict.

        HP is party to, or otherwise involved in, proceedings brought by U.S. or state environmental agencies under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), known as "Superfund," or state laws similar to CERCLA. HP is also conducting environmental investigations or remediations at several current or former operating sites pursuant to administrative orders or consent agreements with state environmental agencies.

        HP is also subject to legislation in an increasing number of jurisdictions that makes producers of electrical goods, including computers and printers, financially responsible for specified collection, recycling, treatment and disposal of past and future covered products (sometimes referred to as "product take-back legislation"). For example, the European Union ("EU") adopted the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive in January 2003. That directive makes producers of electrical goods, including computers and printers, financially responsible for specified collection, recycling, treatment and disposal of past and future covered products. The EU member states were obliged to make producers participating in the market financially responsible for implementing these responsibilities.

Segment Data

        HP derives the results of the business segments directly from its internal management reporting system. The accounting policies HP uses to derive business segment results are substantially the same as those the consolidated company uses. Management measures the performance of each business segment based on several metrics, including earnings from operations. Management uses these results, in part, to evaluate the performance of, and to assign resources to, each of the business segments. HP does not allocate to its business segments certain operating expenses, which it manages separately at the corporate level. These unallocated costs include primarily amortization of purchased intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense related to HP-granted employee stock options, PRUs and the employee stock purchase plan, certain acquisition-related charges and charges for purchased IPR&D, as well as certain corporate governance costs.

        HP does not allocate to its business segments restructuring charges and any associated adjustments related to restructuring actions.

        The reconciliation of segment operating results information to HP consolidated totals was as follows:

        HP allocates its assets to its business segments based on the primary segments benefiting from the assets. The total assets of PSG decreased 16% to $13.9 billion as of July 31, 2009 from $16.4 billion as of October 31, 2008 due primarily to a decline in accounts and other receivables and inventory related to the current economic slowdown. The total assets of IPG decreased 19% to $11.5 billion as of July 31, 2009 from $14.2 billion as of October 31, 2008 due primarily to declines in inventory and other receivables. The total assets of HPFS increased 10% to $10.1 billion as of July 31, 2009 from $9.2 billion as of October 31, 2008 due primarily to an increase in financing receivables and assets under operating leases.

        We are a leading global provider of products, technologies, software, solutions and services to individual consumers, small- and medium-sized businesses, and large enterprises, including customers in the public and education sectors. Our offerings span:

•

personal computing and other access devices;



•

imaging and printing-related products and services;



•

enterprise information technology infrastructure, including enterprise storage and server technology, and software that optimizes business technology investments; and



•

multi-vendor customer services, including infrastructure technology and business process outsourcing, technology support and maintenance, application services, and consulting and integration services.

        We have seven business segments for financial reporting purposes: Services, Enterprise Storage and Servers ("ESS"), HP Software, the Personal Systems Group ("PSG"), the Imaging and Printing Group ("IPG"), HP Financial Services ("HPFS"), and Corporate Investments. Services, ESS and HP Software are reported collectively as a broader Technology Solutions Group ("TSG"). While TSG is not an operating segment, we sometimes provide financial data aggregating the segments within TSG in order to provide a supplementary view of our business.

        The operating framework within which we manage our businesses and which guides our strategies is based on the disciplined management of three business levers: targeted growth, operational efficiency and strategic deployment of capital. Although we have made progress towards our goals in recent periods, there are still many areas in which we believe that we can improve. To implement this operating framework, we are focused on the following initiatives:

•

We are engaged in a process of examining every function and every business in the company in order to optimize efficiency and reduce cost.



•

We are executing on our ongoing program to consolidate real estate locations worldwide to fewer core sites in order to reduce our IT spending and real estate costs.



•

We are aligning our resources and reinvesting a portion of the cost savings from these initiatives to build our market share in emerging markets and to expand our sales coverage to drive growth in mature markets.



•

We are building and expanding our services organization, which has been substantially augmented through our acquisition of Electronic Data Systems Corporation ("EDS"), to support our technology businesses and enable us to provide comprehensive solutions to our customers.



•

We are developing a global delivery structure to take advantage of regions where advanced technical expertise is available at lower costs.

We are repurchasing shares of our common stock under an ongoing program to manage the dilution created by shares issued under employee stock plans as well as to repurchase shares opportunistically.

        In September 2008, we announced a restructuring plan to gain efficiencies following the EDS acquisition. The restructuring plan is expected to be implemented over four years from the acquisition date and includes a targeted reduction in headcount of approximately 25,000 employees over that period, with the majority of the reductions occurring by the end of fiscal 2009. Our plan includes replacing a portion of these positions in order to optimize our global footprint. As part of this plan, we recorded $1.8 billion in restructuring costs in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, $1.5 billion of which was booked to goodwill and $0.3 billion of which was recorded as a restructuring charge. In May 2009, we announced changes to this plan, primarily related to further consolidation of duplicative real estate facilities associated with the acquisition of EDS. For the nine months ended July 31, 2009 we recorded adjustments to goodwill of $0.3 billion and restructuring expenses of $0.3 billion related to severance and real estate costs for the EDS integration activity. We have approximately $0.9 billion of additional costs to record in future quarters for integration, acquisition-related, real estate, and severance costs. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1 for further discussion of restructuring charges.

        In February 2009, we announced additional changes to our compensation and benefit programs in response to the current challenges of the global economy and the resulting effect on our revenues. As part of these changes, we reduced the base pay of most of our U.S. employees effective in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and will reduce the base pay of many of our non-U.S. employees in future periods in compliance with local laws. Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, we also capped matching contributions under the HP 401(k) Plan for all U.S. employees at 4% of eligible compensation and will fund these matching contributions quarterly on a discretionary basis based on our financial performance. In addition, we modified our employee stock purchase plan to eliminate the 15% discount applicable to purchases made under the plan effective in the third quarter of fiscal 2009.

        In May 2009, we approved and initiated an additional restructuring plan to structurally change and improve the effectiveness of IPG, PSG and ESS. The restructuring plan will be implemented during the 18-month period ending in October 2010 and includes the targeted elimination of approximately 5,000 positions. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1 for further discussion of restructuring charges.

        We are continuing to evaluate our businesses and current market conditions and may consider additional restructuring actions in future periods.

        In terms of how our execution has translated into financial performance, the following provides an overview of our key financial metrics in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2009:

        Cash and cash equivalents at July 31, 2009 totaled $13.5 billion, an increase of $3.4 billion from October 31, 2008. The increase for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 was due primarily to $9.9 billion of cash provided from operations, which was partially offset by $3.0 billion of cash used to repurchase common stock, $2.3 billion net investment in property, plant and equipment, and $1.3 billion net payment of our debt.

        We intend the discussion of our financial condition and results of operations that follows to provide information that will assist in understanding our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements from year to year, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting principles, policies and estimates affect our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

        The discussion of results of operations at the consolidated level is followed by a more detailed discussion of results of operations by segment.

        For a further discussion of factors that could impact operating results, see the section entitled "Factors That Could Affect Future Results" below.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

        Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, which we have prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about

61

---

the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Senior management has discussed the development, selection and disclosure of significant estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

        An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, if different estimates reasonably could have been used, or if changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur could materially impact the financial statements. Management believes that there have been no significant changes during the nine months ended July 31, 2009 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008. However, we have expanded our critical accounting policy disclosures beginning the first quarter of fiscal 2009 to include the following summary of our existing policy relating to loss contingencies. This summary previously has appeared, and continues to appear, as part of our disclosures regarding litigation and contingencies in Note 16 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1.

Loss Contingencies

        We are involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies", we record a provision for a liability when we believe that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. We review these provisions at least quarterly and adjust these provisions to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and updated information. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and is subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. Should any of these estimates and assumptions change or prove to have been incorrect, it could have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

        As previously reported in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we recognized the funded status of our benefit plans at October 31, 2007 in accordance with the recognition provisions of SFAS No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—An Amendment of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)" ("SFAS 158"). In addition to the recognition provisions, SFAS 158 also requires companies to measure the funded status of the plan as of the date of their fiscal year end, effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. We will adopt the measurement provisions of SFAS 158 effective October 31, 2009 for our pension and post retirement plans. We do not expect the adoption of the measurement provisions of SFAS 158 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

        In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") SFAS 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157" ("FSP SFAS 157-2"). FSP SFAS 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157") to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). As a result of adoption of FSP SFAS 157-2, we will adopt SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. Although we will continue to evaluate the application of SFAS 157 to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, we do not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 with respect

62

---

to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

        In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141(R)"). SFAS 141(R) expands the definition of a business and a business combination; requires recognition of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and contingent consideration at their fair value on the acquisition date; requires acquisition-related expenses and restructuring costs to be recognized separately from the business combination and expensed as incurred; requires in-process research and development to be capitalized at fair value as an intangible asset; and requires that changes in accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties after the measurement period be recognized as a component of provision for taxes. SFAS 141(R) also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and will be adopted by us in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS 141(R) on our consolidated financial statements, which will be largely dependent on the size and nature of the business combinations completed after the adoption of this statement. Among other potential impacts, the adoption of SFAS 141(R) will result in the recognition of certain types of expenses in our results of operations that are currently capitalized pursuant to existing accounting standards.

        In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51" ("SFAS 160"). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent's ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and will be adopted by us in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

        In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board ("APB") 14-1 "Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)" ("FSP APB 14-1"). FSP APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer's non-convertible debt borrowing rate. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a retrospective basis and will be adopted by us in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. We currently do not have any outstanding convertible debt instruments that are subject to the provisions of FSP APB 14-1. However, our U.S. dollar zero-coupon convertible notes that were redeemed in full in March 2008 are subject to the provisions of FSP APB 14-1. As a result, upon adoption of FSP APB 14-1 in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, our fiscal 2008 consolidated results of operations and financial condition will be affected on a retrospective basis. We do not expect the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

        In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") 03-6-1, "Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities" ("FSP EITF 03-6-1"). FSP EITF 03-6-1 clarifies that share-based payment awards that entitle their holders to receive nonforfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents before vesting should be considered participating securities. We have granted and expect to continue to grant restricted stock that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends and such restricted stock will be considered participating securities upon adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1. As participating securities, we will be required to include these instruments in the calculation of our basic earnings per share ("EPS"), and we will need to calculate

63

---

basic EPS using the "two-class method." Restricted stock is currently included in our dilutive EPS calculation using the treasury stock method. The two-class method of computing EPS is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a retrospective basis and will be adopted by us in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. We do not expect the adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 will have a material effect on our calculation of basic EPS.

        In November 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 08-7, "Accounting for Defensive Intangible Assets" ("EITF 08-7"). EITF 08-7 applies to defensive intangible assets, which are acquired intangible assets that the acquirer does not intend to actively use but intends to hold to prevent its competitors from obtaining access to them. As these assets are separately identifiable, EITF 08-7 requires an acquiring entity to account for defensive intangible assets as a separate unit of accounting. Defensive intangible assets must be recognized initially at fair value in accordance with SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 157 and amortized over the benefit period. EITF 08-7 is effective for defensive intangible assets acquired in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and will be adopted by us in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of EITF 08-7 on our consolidated financial statements, which will be largely dependent on the nature of the business combinations completed after the adoption of this statement.

        In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 132(R)-1, "Employer's Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets" ("FSP SFAS 132(R)-1"). FSP SFAS 132(R)-1 requires additional disclosures about assets held in an employer's defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. FSP SFAS 132(R)-1 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009 and will be adopted by us in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. We will present the required disclosures in the prescribed format on a prospective basis upon adoption. FSP SFAS 132(R)-1 will only affect the notes to our consolidated financial statements.

        In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 141(R)-1, "Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies" ("FSP SFAS 141(R)-1"). FSP SFAS 141(R)-1 addresses application issues on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. FSP SFAS 141(R)-1 is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and will be adopted by us in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP SFAS 141(R)-1 will have on our consolidated financial statements, which will be largely dependent on the size and nature of the business combinations completed after the adoption of this statement.

        In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, "Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140" ("SFAS 166"). The most significant amendments resulting from SFAS 166 consist of the removal of the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity from FASB Statement No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," and, for qualifying special-purpose entities, the removal of the exception from applying FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities—an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51" ("FIN 46(R)"). SFAS 166 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. SFAS 166 will be adopted by us in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 166 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

64

---

        In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, "Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)" ("SFAS 167"). SFAS 167 amends FIN 46(R) to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and to require ongoing qualitative reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 also amends FIN 46(R) to require additional disclosures about an enterprise's involvement in variable interest entities. SFAS 167 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. SFAS 167 will be adopted by us in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 167 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

        In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, "The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162" ("SFAS 168"). SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB. Following this Statement, the FASB will issue new standards in the form of Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs"). SFAS 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and therefore is effective for us in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. The issuance of SFAS 168 will not change GAAP and therefore the adoption of SFAS 168 will only affect the specific references to GAAP literature in the notes to our consolidated financial statements.

        In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-05, "Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value" ("ASU 2009-05"). This update provides amendments to ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure" for the fair value measurement of liabilities. We will adopt ASU 2009-05 for all financial liabilities in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. We will adopt ASU 2009-05 for all non-financial liabilities in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 when we fully adopt SFAS 157. Although we will continue to evaluate the application of SFAS 157 and this update for our non-financial liabilities, we do not expect the adoption of ASU 2009-05 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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

---

⁽¹⁾

Cost of products, cost of services and financing interest.

⁽²⁾

Certain pursuit-related costs previously reported as Cost of sales have been realigned retroactively to Selling, general and administrative expenses due to organizational realignments.

Net Revenue

        The components of the weighted net revenue decline as compared to the prior-year periods were as follows:

        For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009, the global slowdown of IT and consumer spending continued to impact our segments. Net revenue decreased 2.1% for the three months ended July 31, 2009 from the prior-year comparable period (increased 3.5% on a constant currency basis) and decreased 1.4% for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 from the prior-year comparable period (increased 3.5% on a constant currency basis). For both periods, the Services segment contributed favorably to the total HP net revenue change primarily as a result of the EDS acquisition. U.S. net revenue increased 16% to $10.3 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 2009, while net revenue from outside of the United States decreased 10% to $17.1 billion. U.S. net revenue increased 16% to $30.3 billion for the first nine months of fiscal 2009, while net revenue from outside of the United States decreased 9% to $53.3 billion. The increase in U.S. net revenue for both periods was primarily a result of the acquisition of EDS.

        The PSG net revenue decline in the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009 was primarily the result of the overall slowdown in the global economy. For both periods, PSG average selling prices ("ASPs") declined in both consumer clients and commercial clients. PSG unit volumes, however, increased 2% for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and were essentially flat for the first nine months of fiscal 2009, as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2008.

        For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009, IPG experienced net revenue declines in the commercial and consumer hardware business units and the supplies business unit. Unit volume declines across each of the business units were a result of the softness in both the business and consumer demand environments.

        The net revenue decline in ESS for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009 was driven by declines in our industry standard servers ("ISS"), business critical systems and storage business units. The revenue declines were due primarily to the economic slowdown and the overall weak demand environment. ISS was the largest business unit contributor to the decline in ESS revenue. ISS unit volumes declined in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2009. ISS average unit prices also declined for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 but stabilized for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 when compared to the prior-year periods.

        For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009, HP Software experienced net revenue declines in both the Business Technology Optimization ("BTO") and the other software business unit due primarily to revenue declines in licenses and services. Support revenue remained flat for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and increased for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 as a result of renewal rate increases.

67

---

        Net revenue in Corporate Investments and Other declined in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2009 due primarily to a decline in sales of network infrastructure products as a result of a continued slowdown in the networking market.

        The HPFS net revenue decrease for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009 was due to unfavorable currency movements.

        The net revenue increase in Services in the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009 was due primarily to revenue increases in infrastructure technology outsourcing, application services and business process outsourcing as a result of our acquisition of EDS in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, the effect of which was partially offset by unfavorable currency impacts and lower add-on business. Net revenue in technology services declined for both periods due primarily to unfavorable currency impacts and weak economic conditions, the effect of which was partially offset by growth in extended warranty.

Gross Margin

        The gross margin table below identifies each segment's weighted contribution to the change in the total company gross profit from the prior year comparable periods. The weighted components of the gross margin decline as compared to the prior-year periods were as follows:

        Total company gross margin decreased for both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2009 as compared to the same periods in the prior year.

        The decrease in ESS gross margin for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009 was due primarily to competitive pricing in all of the business units as well as product mix shifts.

        The improvements in HP Software gross margin for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009 resulted primarily from a favorable support revenue mix and services margin increases, the effect of which was partially offset by a lower license mix.

        Services gross margin increased slightly for the three months ended July 31, 2009, due to improved contract cost management, the effect of which was partially offset by the mix effect from the acquisition of the EDS business, which has lower gross margins. Services gross margin decreased slightly for the nine months ended July 31, 2009, attributable to the mix effect from the acquisition of EDS, the effect of which was partially offset by service cost improvements.

        Gross margin in Corporate Investments and Other declined in the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009 as a result of a unit volume decline in the sale of network infrastructure products and competitive pricing.

        The HPFS gross margin decline for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009 was due primarily to unfavorable currency impacts, higher bad debt expenses, and lower margins for

68

---

end-of-lease, remarketing and buyout activities, the effect of which was partially offset by higher portfolio margins.

        The increases in IPG gross margin for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009 resulted primarily from an increase in the supplies mix and supplies pricing, the effect of which was partially offset by hardware margin declines.

        For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009, PSG contributed positively to the overall company gross margin decline due to the mix effect of its gross margin representing a smaller component of our total gross margin from levels experienced in the prior-year periods. For the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2009, PSG gross margin itself declined resulting primarily from ASPs declining at a faster pace than component costs and a mix shift towards lower-end products, the effect of which was partially offset by lower warranty and supply chain costs combined with improvements in the option attach rate.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development

        Total research and development ("R&D") expense decreased in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2009 as compared to the prior-year periods due primarily to effective cost controls as well as favorable currency impacts related to the movement of the dollar against the euro, the effect of which was partially offset by additional expenses related to Services. Additionally, the decrease in R&D expense in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 was also due to lower compensation expense. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009, R&D expense as a percentage of net revenue decreased for IPG and ESS, remained approximately flat for PSG, and increased slightly for HP Software and Services.

Selling, General and Administrative

        Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense decreased in the three and nine months ended July 31, 2009 from the corresponding prior-year periods, due primarily to favorable currency impacts related to the movement of the dollar against the euro, lower commissions as well as effective cost management, the effect of which was partially offset by additional expenses related to the EDS acquisition. The decrease in SG&A expense in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 was also partially offset by higher bad debt expense.
