Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements of HP and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are prepared in conformity with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The interim financial information is unaudited but reflects all normal adjustments that are necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. This interim information should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, ~~2019~~2020 in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on December ~~12, 2019.~~10, 2020. The Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet for October 31, ~~2019~~2020 was derived from audited financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation

The Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements include the accounts of HP and its subsidiaries and affiliates in which HP has a controlling financial interest or is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in HP’s Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. As of July 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact our business going forward depends on numerous dynamic factors which we cannot reliably predict. As a result, many of our estimates and assumptions required increased judgment and may carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As the events continue to evolve with respect to the pandemic, our estimates may materially change in future periods.

Separation Transaction

On November 1, 2015, Hewlett-Packard Company completed the separation of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (“Hewlett Packard Enterprise”), Hewlett-Packard Company’s former enterprise technology infrastructure, software, services and financing businesses (the “Separation”). In connection with the Separation, HP and Hewlett Packard Enterprise entered into a separation and distribution agreement, an employee matters agreement and various other agreements which remain enforceable and provide a framework for the continuing relationships between the parties. For more information on the impacts of these agreements, see Note ~~6, “Supplementary Financial Information”, Note~~ 12, “Litigation and Contingencies” ~~and Note 13, “Guarantees, Indemnifications and Warranties”~~.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2017, the FASB issued guidance, which amends the existing accounting standards for derivatives and hedging. The amendment improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better represent the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements and made certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance in current U.S. GAAP. HP adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The implementation of this guidance did not have a material impact on its Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance on the accounting for leasing transactions. The primary objective of this update is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring lessees to recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset for the right to use the underlying asset over the lease term. The guidance also results in some changes to lessor accounting and requires additional disclosures about all leasing arrangements.

HP adopted the standard (the “new lease standard”) as of November 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach, with the cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit as of the adoption date. HP elected to apply the practical expedient using the transition option whereby prior comparative periods were not retrospectively adjusted in the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. HP also elected the package of practical expedients, which does not require reassessment of initial direct costs, classification of a lease, and definition of a lease. The Company has elected not to record leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Lease expense on such leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. HP has also elected the lessee practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components for certain asset classes.

The adoption of the new lease standard resulted in the recognition of $1.2 billion in operating lease liabilities and $1.2 billion of related ROU assets on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The net impact of adoption to accumulated deficit as on November 1, 2019 is not material. As of November 1, 2019, there were no material finance leases for which HP was a lessee.

~~Note 1: Basis of Presentation (Continued)~~

The new lease standard also made some changes to lessor accounting, including alignment with the new revenue recognition standard. HP now records revenue upfront on certain aspects of its as-a-service offerings and reflects financing of these offerings as cash flows from financing activities on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows. These changes did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

~~Refer to Note 14, “Leases”, for additional disclosures related to leases.~~

~~Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted~~

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance, which requires credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, not based on incurred losses. ~~Further,~~Furthermore, credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities should be recorded through an allowance for credit losses limited to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost. HP ~~will adopt~~adopted the ~~guidance in the first quarter~~new credit loss standard as of ~~fiscal year 2021~~November 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective approach. The cumulative effect upon adoption was not material to the consolidated condensed financial statements.

Accounts receivable

HP records allowance for credit losses for the current expected credit losses inherent in the asset over its expected life. The allowance for credit losses is maintained based on the relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount.

HP records a specific reserve for individual accounts when HP becomes aware of specific customer circumstances, such as in the case of a bankruptcy filing or deterioration in the customer’s operating results or financial position. If there are additional changes in circumstances related to the specific customer, HP further adjusts estimates of the recoverability of receivables. HP assesses collectability by pooling receivables where similar risk characteristics exist.

HP maintains an allowance for credit losses for all other customers based on a variety of factors, including the use of third-party credit risk models that generate quantitative measures of default probabilities based on market factors, financial condition of customers, length of time receivables are past due, trends in the weighted-average risk rating for the portfolio, macroeconomic conditions, information derived from competitive benchmarking, significant one-time events, and historical experience. The past due or delinquency status of a receivable is based on the contractual payment terms of the receivable.

HP has ~~established~~third-party short-term financing arrangements intended to facilitate the working capital requirements of certain customers. These financing arrangements, which in certain cases provide for partial recourse, result in the transfer of HP’s trade receivables to a ~~cross-functional implementation team~~third-party. HP reflects amounts transferred to, ~~evaluate~~but not yet collected from the ~~impact of the new standard on~~third-party in Accounts receivable in the Consolidated Condensed ~~Financial Statements.~~

~~Revenue Recognition~~

~~General~~

~~HP recognizes revenues at a point in time or over time depicting~~Balance Sheets. For arrangements involving an element of recourse, the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which HP expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. HP follows the five-step model for revenue recognition as summarized below:

1~~. Identify the contract with a customer -~~ ~~A contract with customer exists when (i) it is approved and signed by all parties,~~

(ii) each party’s rights and obligations can be identified, (iii) payment terms are defined, (iv) it has commercial substance and (v) the customer has the ability and intent to pay. HP evaluates customers’ ability to pay based on various factors like historical payment experience, financial metrics and customer credit scores. While the majority of our sales contracts contain standard terms and conditions, there are certain contracts with non-standard terms and conditions.

2. ~~Identify the performance obligations in the contract -~~ ~~HP evaluates each performance obligation in an arrangement to~~

determine whether it is distinct, such as hardware and/or service. A performance obligation constitutes distinct goods or services when the customer can benefit from such goods or services either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer and the performance obligation is distinct within the contextfair value of the ~~contract.~~

3. ~~Determine the transaction price -~~ ~~Transaction price is the amount of consideration to which HP expects to be entitled in~~

exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer. If the transaction price includes a variable amount, HP estimates the amount it expects to be entitled to using either the expected value or the most likely amount method.

~~HP reduces the transaction price at the time of revenue recognition for customer and distributor programs and incentive~~

offerings, rebates, promotions, other volume-based incentives and expected returns. HP uses estimates to determine the expected variable consideration for such programs based on factors like historical experience, expected consumer behavior and market conditions.

~~HP has elected the practical expedient of not accounting for significant financing components if the period between~~

~~revenue recognition and when the customer pays for the product or service is one year or less.~~

4. ~~Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract -~~ ~~When a sales arrangement contains multiple~~

performance obligations, such as hardware and/or services, HP allocates revenue to each performance obligation in proportion to their selling price. The selling price for each performance obligation is based on its Standalone Selling Price (“SSP”). HP establishes SSP using the price charged for a performance obligation when sold separately (“observable price”) and, in some instances, using the price established by management having the relevant authority. When observable price is not available, HP establishes SSP based on management judgment considering internal factors such as margin objectives, pricing practices and controls, customer segment pricing strategies and the product life cycle. Consideration is also given to market conditions such as competitor pricing strategies and technology industry life cycles.

5. ~~Recognize revenue when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied -~~ ~~Revenue is recognized when, or as, a~~

performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of a promised good or service to a customer. HP generally invoices the customer upon delivery of the goods or services and the payments are due as per contract terms. For fixed price support or maintenance contracts that are in the nature of stand-ready obligations, payments are generally received in advance from customers and revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the duration of the contract.

HP reports revenue net of any taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities, and the collected taxes are recorded as other current liabilities until remitted to the relevant government authority. HP includes costs related to shipping and handling in cost of revenue.

~~Services~~

HP recognizes revenue from fixed-price support, maintenance and other service contracts over time depicting the pattern of service delivery and recognizes the costs associated with these contracts as incurred.

~~Contract Assets and Liabilities~~

Contract assets are rights to consideration in exchange for goods or services that HP has transferred to a customer when such right is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Such contract assets are not material to HP’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Contract liabilities are recorded as deferred revenues when amounts invoiced to customers are more than the revenues recognized or when payments are received in advance for fixed price support or maintenance contracts. The short-term and long-term deferred revenues are reported within the other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities respectively.

~~Cost to obtain a contract and fulfillment cost~~

Incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract primarily consist of sales commissions. HP has elected the practical expedient to expense as incurred the costs to obtain a contract with a benefit period equal to or less than one year. For contracts with a period of benefit greater than one year, HP capitalizes incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer and amortizes these costs over their expected period of benefit provided such costs are recoverable.

Fulfillment costs consist of set-up and transition costs related to other service contracts. These costs generate or enhance resources of HP that will be used in satisfying the performance obligation in the future and are capitalized and amortized over the expected period of the benefit, provided such costs are recoverable.

See Note 6, “Supplementary Financial Information” for details on net revenue by region, cost to obtain a contract and fulfillment cost, contract liabilities and value of remaining performance obligations.

~~Leases~~

At the inception of a contract, HP assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The assessment is based on (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether HP obtains the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether HP has the right to direct the use of the asset.

~~All significant lease arrangements are recognized at lease commencement. Leases with a lease term of 12~~three months or less at ~~inception~~the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. Marketable debt securities with maturities of twelve months or less are classified as short-term investments and marketable debt securities with maturities greater than twelve months are classified based on their availability for use in current operations.Marketable equity securities, including mutual funds, are classified as either short or long-term based on the nature of each security and its availability for use in current operations.

Available-for-sale debt securities are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable taxes, in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Unrealized gains and losses on equity securities, credit losses and impairments on available-for-sale debt securities are recorded in Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. Realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are calculated at the individual security level and included in Interest and other, net in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings.

HP monitors its investment portfolio for potential impairment and credit losses on a quarterly basis. If HP intends to sell a debt security or it is more likely than not that HP will be required to sell the security before recovery, then a decline in fair value below cost is recorded onas an impairment charge in Interest and other, net and a new cost basis in the investment is established.

In other cases, if the carrying amount of an investment in debt securities exceeds its fair value and the decline in value is determined to be due to credit related reasons, HP records a credit loss allowance, limited by the amount that fair value is less than the amortized cost basis.HP recognizes the corresponding charge in Interest and other, net and the remaining unrealized loss, if any, in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Condensed Balance ~~Sheets~~Sheets. Factors that HP considers while determining the credit loss allowance includes, but is not limited to, severity and ~~are expensed on a straight-line basis over~~ the ~~lease term~~reason for the decline in ~~the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Earnings. HP determines the lease term by assuming the exercise of renewal options that are reasonably certain.

Fiscal 2020 Plan

On September 30, 2019, HP’s Board of Directors approved the Fiscal 2020 Plan intended to optimize and simplify its operating model and cost structure that HP expects will be implemented through fiscal 2022. HP expects to reduce global headcount by approximately 7,000 to 9,000 employees through a combination of employee exits and voluntary EER. HP estimates that it will incur pre-tax charges of approximately $1.0 billion relating to labor and non-labor actions. HP now expects to incur approximately ~~$0.9~~$0.8 billion primarily in labor costs related to workforce reductions and the remaining costs will relate to non-labor actions and other charges.

Other charges

Other charges include non-recurring costs, including those as a result of ~~Separation,~~ information technology rationalization efforts and proxy contest activities, and are distinct from ongoing operational costs. These costs primarily relate to third-party legal, professional services and other non-recurring costs. For the three and nine months ended July 31, ~~2020,~~2021, HP incurred ~~$13~~$8 million

Employer Contributions and Funding Policy

HP’s policy is to fund its pension plans so that it makes at least the minimum contribution required by local government, funding and taxing authorities.

During fiscal year ~~2020,~~2021, HP anticipates making contributions of approximately ~~$76~~$77 million to its non-U.S. pension plans, approximately ~~$36~~$34 million to its U.S. non-qualified plan participants and approximately $6$5 million to cover benefit claims under HP’s post-retirement benefit plans. During the nine months ended July 31, ~~2020,~~2021, HP contributed ~~$30~~$50 million to its non-U.S. pension plans, paid ~~$27~~$21 million to cover benefit payments to U.S. non-qualified plan participants and paid $4$3 million to cover benefit claims under HP’s post-retirement benefit plans.

HP’s pension and other post-retirement benefit costs and obligations depend on various assumptions. Differences between expected and actual returns on investments and changes in discount rates and other actuarial assumptions are reflected as unrecognized gains or losses, and such gains or losses are amortized to earnings in future periods. A deterioration in the funded status of a plan could result in a need for additional company contributions or an increase in net pension and ~~post-~~

Note 4: Retirement ~~Incentive Program~~and Post-Retirement Benefit Plans (Continued)

~~As part~~In August 2021, HP entered into an agreement with The Prudential Insurance Company of America (“Prudential”) to purchase an irrevocable group annuity contract and transfer approximately $5.2 billion of the Fiscal 2020 Plan, HP announced the voluntary EER program for its U.S. employees in October 2019. Voluntary participation in the EER program was limited to those employees who are at least 50 years old with 20 or more years of service at HP. Employees accepted into the EER program will leave HP on dates ranging from December 31, 2019 to September 30, 2020. The EER benefit will be a cash lump sum payment which is calculated based on years of service at HP at the time of the retirement and ranging from 13 to 52 weeks of pay.

All employees participating in the EER program were offered the opportunity to continue health care coverage at the active employee contribution rates for up to 36 months following retirement. In addition, HP provided up to $12,000 in employer credits under the Retirement Medical Savings Account (“RMSA”) program. In relation to the continued health care coverage and employer credits under the RMSA program, HP recognized special termination benefit costs of $44 million as restructuring and other charges for the nine months ended July 31, 2020.

~~Lump Sum Program~~

~~HP offered a lump sum program during the third quarter of fiscal year 2020. Certain terminated vested participants in the~~ HP Inc. U.S. Pension Plan (“Pension Plan”) ~~could elect~~obligations, subject to ~~take a one-time voluntary lump sum payment equal to~~customary closing conditions. Under the ~~present value~~agreement, Prudential will assume responsibility for pension benefits and annuity administration for approximately 41,000 retirees and beneficiaries. This transaction will not change the amount or timing of ~~future benefits. Approximately 12,000 participants elected the lump sum option. Payments of approximately $2.0 billion will be made from plan assets to the participants~~monthly retirement benefit payments. Upon closing this transaction in the fourth quarter of fiscal ~~year 2020 and an estimated non-cash~~2021, HP will record a settlement ~~expense~~gain of approximately ~~$240 million arising from~~$40 million. As the ~~accelerated recognition of previously deferred actuarial losses~~transaction will be ~~recorded in such quarter.~~

funded directly by the assets of the Pension Plan, there will be no cash flow impact to HP.

Note 5: Taxes on Earnings

Provision for Taxes

HP’s effective tax rate was ~~2.2%~~16.5% and ~~(375.4)%~~2.2% for the three months ended July 31, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, and ~~11.4%~~14.0% and ~~(36.1)%~~11.4% for the nine months ended July 31, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% and HP’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2021 was primarily due to tax effects of internal reorganization and by favorable tax rates associated with certain earnings from HP’s operations in lower-tax jurisdictions throughout the world. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2020, isHP’s effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to audit settlements in various jurisdictions and favorable tax rates associated with certain earnings from HP’s operations in lower-tax jurisdictions throughout the world.

During the three and nine months ended July 31, 2021, HP recorded $21 million and $150 million, respectively, of net income tax benefits related to discrete items in the provision for taxes. These amounts included income tax benefits of $9 million and $45 million related to restructuring charges and $23 million and $30 million related to the filing of tax returns in various jurisdictions for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2021, respectively. The nine months ended July 31, 2021 also included a tax benefit of $89 million related to tax effects of internal reorganization and a tax benefit of $10 million related to audit settlements in various jurisdictions. These benefits were partially offset by uncertain tax position charges of $13 million and $25 million for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2021, respectively. For the three and nine months ended July 31, ~~2019, HP’s effective~~2021, excess tax ~~rate generally differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the resolution of various audits, transitional impacts of U.S. tax reform, and favorable tax rates~~benefits associated with ~~certain earnings from HP’s operations in lower-tax jurisdictions throughout the world.~~stock options, restricted stock units and performance-adjusted restricted stock units were immaterial.

During the three and nine months ended July 31, 2020, HP recorded $116 million and $182 million, respectively, of net tax benefits related to discrete items in the provision for taxes. These amounts included tax benefits of $102 million and $143 million related to audit settlements in various jurisdictions, $20 million and $75 million related to restructuring charges, and $4 million and $20 million related to acquisition charges for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2020, respectively. These benefits were partially offset by uncertain tax position charges of $3 million and $54 million for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2020, respectively. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2020, excess tax benefits associated with stock options, restricted stock units and performance-adjusted restricted stock units were immaterial.

During the three and nine months ended July 31, 2019, HP recorded $1.1 billion of net income tax benefits related to discrete items in the provision for taxes. This amount included tax benefits of $1.0 billion related to various audit settlements, $75 million due to the ability to utilize tax attributes, along with $57 million and $78 million for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2019, respectively, related to U.S. tax reform as a result of new guidance issued by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). These benefits were partially offset by valuation allowance charges of $98 million for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2019. In addition to the discrete items mentioned above, HP recorded excess tax benefits of $21 million associated with stock options, restricted stock units and performance-adjusted restricted stock units for the nine months ended July 31, 2019.

Uncertain Tax Positions

As of July 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits was ~~$824~~$822 million, of which up to ~~$680~~$653 million would affect HP’s effective tax rate if realized. ~~Total gross unrecognized tax benefits decreased by $105 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2020, primarily related to the resolution of various audits.~~ HP recognizes interest income from favorable settlements and interest expense and penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for taxes in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. As of July 31, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, HP had accrued ~~$37~~$70 million and ~~$75~~$37 million, respectively, for interest and penalties.

HP engages in continuous discussions and negotiations with taxing authorities regarding tax matters in various jurisdictions. HP expects to complete the resolution of certain tax years with various tax authorities within the next 12 months. HP believes it is reasonably possible that its existing gross unrecognized tax benefits may be reduced by up to ~~$80~~$98 million within the next 12 months, affecting HP’s effective tax rate if realized.

HP is subject to income tax in the United States and approximately 5860 other countries and is subject to routine corporate income tax audits in many of these jurisdictions. In addition, HP is subject to numerous ongoing audits by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. The ~~IRS~~Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) is conducting an audit of HP’s 2018 and 2019 income tax returns.

HP has third-party arrangements, consisting of revolving short-term financing, which provide liquidity to certain partners to facilitate their working capital requirements. These financing arrangements, which in certain circumstances may contain partial recourse, result in a transfer of HP’s receivables and risk to the ~~third party.~~third-party. As these transfers qualify as true sales under the applicable accounting guidance, the receivables are de-recognized from the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets upon transfer, and HP receives a payment for the receivables from the ~~third party~~third-party within a mutually agreed upon time period. For arrangements involving an element of recourse, the recourse obligation is measured using market data from similar transactions and reported as a current liability in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The recourse obligations as of July 31, ~~2020~~2021 and October 31, ~~2019~~2020 were not material. The costs associated with the sale of trade receivables for the three and nine months ended July 31, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019~~2020 were not material.

Value of Remaining Performance Obligations

As of July 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the estimated value of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was ~~$4.2~~$3.8 billion. HP expects to recognize approximately $1.8 billion of the unearned amount in next 12 months and ~~$2.4~~$2.0 billion thereafter.

HP has elected the practical expedients and accordingly does not disclose the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if:

•the contract has an original expected duration of one year or less; or

•the revenue from the performance obligation is recognized over time on an as-invoiced basis when the amount corresponds directly with the value to the customer; or

•the portion of the transaction price that is variable in nature is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation.

The remaining performance obligations are subject to change and may be affected by various factors, such as termination of contracts, contract modifications and adjustment for currency.

Contract Liabilities

As of July 31, ~~2020~~2021 and October 31, ~~2019,~~2020, HP’s contract liabilities balances were ~~$2.3~~$2.4 billion and ~~$2.1~~$2.2 billion, respectively, included in Other ~~Current Liabilities~~current liabilities and Other ~~Non-Current Liabilities~~non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Condensed Balance ~~Sheet.~~Sheets.

The increase in the contract liabilities balance for the nine months ended July 31, ~~2020 is~~2021 was primarily driven by sales of ~~fixed price~~fixed-price support and maintenance services, partially offset by $0.9 billion of revenue recognized that ~~were~~was included in the contract liabilities balance as of October 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

Changes in Variable Consideration

HP reduces the transaction price at the time performance obligations are satisfied for various customer and distributor sales incentive and promotional programs. During the three months ended July 31, 2021, we recorded an increase to our estimated transaction price for performance obligations satisfied in the prior periods of approximately $350 million. The change in estimate is a result of lower-than-expected marketing incentives due to increasing supply constraints, shifts in customer behavior and the evolving impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The changes in estimates recorded during the nine months ended July 31, 2021 and the three and nine months ended July 31, 2020 were immaterial.

Note 7: Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Fair Value Hierarchy

HP uses valuation techniques that are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are developed using market data such as publicly available information and reflect the assumptions market participants would use, while unobservable inputs are developed using the best information available about the assumptions market participants would use.

Assets and liabilities are classified in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement:

Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and market-corroborated inputs.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to observable inputs and lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

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


		As of July 31, 2020														As of October 31, 2019															As of July 31, 2021					As of October 31, 2020

Note 7: Fair Value (Continued)

Valuation Techniques

Cash Equivalents and Investments: HP holds time deposits, money market funds, mutual funds, other debt securities primarily consisting of corporate and foreign government notes and bonds, and common stock and equivalents. HP values cash equivalents and equity investments using quoted market prices, alternative pricing sources, including net asset value, or models utilizing market observable inputs. The fair value of debt investments ~~was~~is based on quoted market prices or model-driven valuations using inputs primarily derived from or corroborated by observable market data, and, in certain instances, valuation models that utilize assumptions which cannot be corroborated with observable market data.

Derivative Instruments: From time to time, HP uses forward contracts, interest rate and total return swaps, treasury rate locks and, at times, option contracts to hedge certain foreign currency interest rate and return on certain investment exposures. HP uses industry standard valuation models to measure fair value. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to present value using market-based observable inputs, including interest rate curves, HP and counterparty credit risk, foreign exchange rates, and forward and spot prices for currencies and interest rates. See Note 8, “Financial Instruments” for a further discussion of HP’s use of derivative instruments.

Other Fair Value Disclosures

Short- and Long-Term Debt: HP estimates the fair value of its debt primarily using an expected present value technique, which is based on observable market inputs using interest rates currently available to companies of similar credit standing for similar terms and remaining maturities and considering its own credit risk. The portion of HP’s debt that is hedged is reflected in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as an amount equal to the debt’s carrying amount and a fair value adjustment representing changes in the fair value of the hedged debt obligations arising from movements in benchmark interest rates. The fair value of HP’s short- and long-term debt was ~~$6.8~~$7.7 billion as of July 31, ~~2020,~~2021, compared to its carrying amount of ~~$6.3~~$7.1 billion at that date. The fair value of HP’s short- and long-term debt was ~~$5.4~~$6.7 billion as of October 31, ~~2019,~~2020, compared to its carrying value of ~~$5.1~~$6.2 billion at that date. If measured at fair value in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets, short- and long-term debt would be classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Other Financial Instruments: For the balance of HP’s financial instruments, primarily accounts receivable, accounts payable and financial liabilities included in Other current liabilities on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities. If measured at fair value in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets, these other financial instruments would be classified inas Level 2 or Level 3 ofin the fair value hierarchy.

Non-Marketable Equity Investments and Non-Financial Assets: HP’s non-marketable equity investments are measured at cost less impairment, adjusted for observable price changes. HP’s non-financial assets, such as intangible assets, goodwill and property, plant and equipment, are recorded at fair value in the period an impairment charge is recognized. If measured at fair value in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets these would generally be classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

(1) HP classifies its marketable debt securities as Available-for-sale investments within Other current assets on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets, including those with maturity dates beyond one year, based on their highly liquid nature and availability for use in current operations.

All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition are considered cash equivalents. As of July 31, ~~2020~~2021 and October 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the carrying amount of cash equivalents approximated fair value due to the short period of time to maturity. The estimated fair value of the available-for-sale investments may not be representative of values that will be realized in the future.

Contractual maturities of investments in available-for-sale debt securities were as follows:

As of July 31, 2020
Amortized

Due in one year or less $ 229 $ 229


	As of July 31, 2021
	Amortized Cost		Fair Value

~~Equity~~Non-marketable equity securities in privately held companies are included in Other non-current assets in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. These amounted to ~~$43~~$53 million and ~~$46~~$44 millionas of July 31, ~~2020~~2021 and October 31, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively.

HP determines credit losses on cash equivalents and available-for-sale debt securities at the individual security level. All instruments are considered investment grade. No credit-related or noncredit-related impairment losses were recorded for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2021.

Derivative Instruments

HP uses derivatives to offset business exposure to foreign currency and interest rate risk on expected future cash flows and on certain existing assets and liabilities. As part of its risk management strategy, HP uses derivative instruments, primarily forward contracts, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, treasury rate locks, forward starting swaps and, at times, option

Note 8: Financial Instruments (Continued)

contracts to hedge certain foreign currency, interest rate and, return on certain investment exposures. HP may designate its derivative contracts as fair value hedges or cash flow hedges and classifies the cash flows with the activities that correspond to the underlying hedged items. Additionally, for derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, HP categorizes those economic hedges as other derivatives. HP recognizes all derivative instruments at fair value in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

As a result of its use of derivative instruments, HP is exposed to the risk that its counterparties will fail to meet their contractual obligations. Master netting agreements mitigate credit exposure to counterparties by permitting HP to net amounts

~~Note 8: Financial Instruments (Continued)~~

due from HP to counterparty against amounts due to HP from the same counterparty under certain conditions. To further limit credit risk, HP has collateral security agreements that allow HP’s custodian to hold collateral from, or require HP to post collateral to, counterparties when aggregate derivative fair values exceed contractually established thresholds which are generally based on the credit ratings of HP and its counterparties. If HP’s or the counterparty’s credit rating falls below a specified credit rating, either party has the right to request full collateralization of the derivatives’ net liability position. The fair value of derivatives with credit contingent features in a net liability position was ~~$281~~$95 million and ~~$45~~$90 million as of July 31, ~~2020~~2021 and as of October 31, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, all of which were fully collateralized within two business days.

Under HP’s derivative contracts, the counterparty can terminate all outstanding trades following a covered change of control event affecting HP that results in the surviving entity being rated below a specified credit rating. This credit contingent provision did not affect HP’s financial position or cash flows as of July 31, ~~2020~~2021 and October 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

HP enters into fair value hedges, such as interest rate swaps, to reduce the exposure of its debt portfolio to changes in fair value resulting from changes in benchmark interest rates on HP’s future interest rate payments.

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

During the ~~quarter,~~nine months ended July 31, 2021, HP entered into interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $375 million that were designated as fair value hedges, to convert a portion of its fixed-rate debt to floating. HP terminated interest rate swaps with a notional amount of ~~$0.5 billion~~$500 million that were de-designated as fair value hedges ofincluding $250 million notional amount related to certain ~~fixed rate~~fixed-rate debt securities that were ~~extinguished. HP also entered into $0.5 billion notional amount interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges to convert a portion of newly issued $1.15 billion fixed-rate debt to floating.~~extinguished, resulting in an immaterial loss.

Cash Flow Hedges

HP uses forward contracts, treasury rate locks, forward starting swaps and, at times, option contracts designated as cash flow hedges to protect against the foreign currency exchange and interest rate risks inherent in its forecasted net revenue, cost of revenue, operating expenses and debt issuance. HP’s foreign currency cash flow hedges mature predominantly within twelve months; however, hedges related to long-term procurement arrangements extend several years.

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, HP initially records changes in fair value of the derivative instrument in ~~accumulated~~Accumulated other comprehensive ~~income/~~loss ~~(“AOCI”)~~ as a separate component of stockholders’ deficit in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets and subsequently reclassifies these amounts into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. HP reports the changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument in the same financial statement line item as changes in the fair value of the hedged item.

~~In March 2020,~~During the nine months ended July 31, 2021, HP entered into a series of ~~treasury rate lock~~forward starting swap agreements with notional amounts totaling ~~$750 million~~$1.75 billion to hedge the exposure to variability in future cash flows resulting from changes in interest ~~rate~~rates related to anthe anticipated issuance of long-term debt. These agreements were designated as cash flow hedges. ~~These agreements~~In June 2021, a series of these forward starting swaps totaling $750 million notional amount were settled upon the issuance of the senior notes ~~in June 2020~~ resulting in an immaterial loss recognized in ~~Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).~~Accumulated other comprehensive loss. The loss will be reclassified to Interest and other, net over the life of the related debt.

Other Derivatives

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

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

Hedge Effectiveness

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

~~As of~~During the three and nine months ended July 31, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, no portion of the hedging instruments’ gain or loss was excluded from the assessment of effectiveness for fair value and cash flow hedges.

Note 11: Net Earnings Per Share

HP calculates basic net EPS using net earnings and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted net EPS includes any dilutive effect of restricted stock units, stock options, performance-based awards and shares purchased under the ~~2011~~2021 employee stock purchase plan.

A reconciliation of the number of shares used for basic and diluted net EPS calculations is as follows:

⁽¹⁾HP excludes from the calculation of diluted net EPS stock options and restricted stock units where the assumed proceeds exceed the average market price, because their effect would be anti-dilutive. The assumed proceeds of a stock option include the sum of its exercise price, and average unrecognized compensation cost. The assumed proceeds of a restricted stock unit represent unrecognized compensation cost.

Note 12: Litigation and Contingencies

HP is involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, including those identified below, consisting of IP, commercial, securities, employment, employee benefits and environmental matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. HP accrues a liability when management believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. HP believes it has recorded adequate provisions for any such matters and, as of July 31, ~~2020,~~2021, it was not reasonably possible that a material loss had been incurred in excess of the amounts recognized in HP’s financial statements. HP reviews these matters at least quarterly and adjusts its accruals to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Pursuant to the separation and distribution agreement, HP shares responsibility with Hewlett Packard Enterprise for certain matters, as indicated below, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise has agreed to indemnify HP in whole or in part with respect to certain matters. Based on its experience, HP believes that any damage amounts claimed in the specific matters discussed below are not a meaningful indicator of HP’s potential liability. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. However, HP believes it has valid defenses with respect to legal matters pending against it. Nevertheless, cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the resolution of one or more of these contingencies.

Litigation, Proceedings and Investigations

Copyright Levies. Proceedings are ongoing or have been concluded involving HP in certain European countries, including litigation in Belgium and other countries, seeking to impose or modify levies upon IT equipment (such as multifunction devices (“MFDs”) and PCs), alleging that these devices enable the production of private copies of copyrighted materials. The levies are generally based upon the number of products sold and the per-product amounts of the levies, which vary. Some European 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 other European countries have phased out levies or are expected to limit the scope of levy schemes and applicability in the digital hardware environment, particularly with respect to sales to business users. ~~HP, other companies and various industry associations have opposed the extension of levies to the digital environment and have advocated alternative models of compensation to rights holders.~~

Note 12: Litigation and Contingencies (Continued)

HP, other companies and various industry associations have opposed the extension of levies to the digital environment and have advocated alternative models of compensation to rights holders.

Reprobel SCRL (“Reprobel”), a collecting society administering the remuneration for reprography to Belgian copyright holders, requested by extrajudicial means that HP amend certain copyright levy declarations submitted for inkjet MFDs sold in Belgium from January 2005 to December 2009 to enable it to collect copyright levies calculated based on the generally higher copying speed when the MFDs are operated in draft print mode rather than when operated in normal print mode. In March 2010, HP filed a lawsuit against Reprobel in the Brussels Court of First Instance in Belgium, seeking a declaratory judgment that no copyright levies are payable on sales of MFDs in Belgium or, alternatively, that payments already made by HP are sufficient to comply with its obligations. The Brussels Court of Appeal (the “Court of Appeal”) stayed the proceedings and referred several questions to the Court of Justice of the European Union (“CJEU”). On November 12, 2015, the CJEU published its judgment providing that a national legislation such as the Belgian one at issue in the main proceedings is incompatible with EU law on multiple legal points, as argued by HP, and returned the proceedings to the referring court. On May 12, 2017, the Court of Appeal held that (1) reprographic copyright levies are due notwithstanding the lack of conformity of the Belgian system with EU law in certain aspects and (2) the applicable levies are to be calculated based on the objective speed of each MFD as established by an expert appointed by the Court of Appeal. HP appealed this decision before the Belgian Supreme Court on January 18, 2018.

~~Based~~ The Belgian Supreme Court rejected HP’s appeal on ~~industry opposition~~September 24, 2020 and the matter has been remitted to the ~~extension~~Court of ~~levies~~Appeal, where the expert will give an opinion on the objective speed and amount of compensation due. Under a settlement agreement executed on June 16, 2021 HP and Reprobel have resolved all ongoing disputes in relation to ~~digital products, HP’s assessments~~the Belgian copyright exceptions system that was applicable until December 2016, when the relevant provisions of the ~~merits of various proceedings and HP’s estimates of the number of units impacted and the amounts of the levies, HP has accrued amounts that it believes are adequate to address the ongoing disputes.~~copyright law were abolished.

Hewlett-Packard Company v. Oracle Corporation. On June 15, 2011, HP filed suit against Oracle Corporation (“Oracle”) in California Superior Court in Santa Clara County in connection with Oracle’s March 2011 announcement that it was discontinuing software support for HP’s Itanium-based line of mission-critical servers. HP asserted, among other things, that Oracle’s actions breached the contract that was signed by the parties as part of the settlement of the litigation relating to Oracle’s hiring of Mark Hurd. The matter eventually progressed to trial, which was bifurcated into two phases. HP prevailed in the first phase of the trial, in which the court ruled that the contract at issue required Oracle to continue to offer its software products on HP’s Itanium-based servers for as long as HP decided to sell such servers. The second phase of the trial was then postponed by Oracle’s appeal of the trial court’s denial of Oracle’s “anti-SLAPP” motion, in which Oracle argued that HP’s damages claim infringed on Oracle’s First Amendment rights. On August 27, 2015, the California Court of Appeals rejected Oracle’s appeal. The matter was remanded to the trial court for the second phase of the trial, which began on May 23, 2016 and was submitted to the jury on June 29, 2016. On June 30, 2016, the jury returned a verdict in favor of HP, awarding HP approximately $3.0 billion in damages, which included approximately $1.7 billion for past lost profits and $1.3 billion for future lost profits. On October 20, 2016, the court entered judgment for HP for this amount with interest accruing until the judgment is paid. Oracle’s motion for new trial was denied on December 19, 2016, and Oracle filed its notice of appeal from the trial court’s judgment on January 17, 2017. On February 2, 2017, HP filed a notice of cross-appeal challenging the trial court’s denial of prejudgment interest. ~~The case is fully briefed and awaiting~~Oral argument in front of the Court of Appeals was held on May 27, 2021. On June 14, 2021, the Court of Appeals affirmed both the trial court’s judgment and its denial of prejudgment interest to ~~schedule oral argument.~~HP. On July 26, 2021, Oracle filed a petition with the California Supreme Court for review, which HP ~~expects that the appeals process could take several years to complete.~~answered on August 16, 2021. Litigation is unpredictable, and there can be no assurance that HP will recover damages, or that any award of damages will be for the amount awarded by the jury’s verdict. The amount ultimately awarded, if any, would be recorded in the period received. No adjustment has been recorded in the financial statements in relation to this potential award. Pursuant to the terms of the separation and distribution agreement, HP and Hewlett Packard Enterprise will share equally in any recovery from Oracle once Hewlett Packard Enterprise has been reimbursed for all costs incurred in the prosecution of the action prior to the Separation.

Forsyth, et al. v. HP Inc. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise. This is a purported class and collective action filed on August 18, 2016 in the United States District Court, Northern District of California, against HP and Hewlett Packard Enterprise alleging the defendants violated the Federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, California public policy and the California Business and Professions Code by terminating older workers and replacing them with younger workers. ~~In their initial~~The operative complaint ~~Plaintiffs sought to certify a nationwide collective class action under~~is the ADEA comprised of all U.S. residents employed by defendants who had their employment terminated pursuant to a workforce reduction (“WFR”) plan on or after May 23, 2012 and who were 40 years of age or older.

On September 20, 2017, the Court granted defendants’ motions to compel arbitration as to the party plaintiffs who signed WFR release agreements, and also stayed the entire case until the arbitrations were completed. In October 2018, the claims of all 16 arbitration claimants were resolved. Between November 2018 and April 2019, an additional 154 individuals filed consents to opt‐in to the action as party‐plaintiffs, which brought the total number of named and opt-in plaintiffs to 193. Of the new opt-ins, 145 signed separation agreements that included class waivers and

The parties have resolved the claims of 142 of those 145 opt-ins, and the remaining 3 opt-ins who signed separation agreements dismissed their claims without prejudice. In February 2020, the claims of 13 additional party plaintiffs were dismissed voluntarily without prejudice, leaving the total number of named and opt-in plaintiffs at 35. On January 7, 2020, the plaintiffs filed a Third Amended Complaint that seeksseek to represent (1) a putative nationwide ADEA collective comprised of all individuals 40 years of age and older who had their employment terminated pursuant to a WFR plan on or after December 9, 2014 ~~and did not sign a Waiver and General Release Agreement in connection with their selection for WFR;~~or April 8, 2015, depending on state law; and (2) a putative Rule 23 class under California law comprised of all individuals 40 years of age and older who had their employment terminated in California pursuant to a WFR plan on or after August 18, ~~2012~~2012.

India Directorate of Revenue Intelligence Proceedings. On April 30 and May 10, 2010, the India Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (the “DRI”) issued show cause notices to Hewlett-Packard India Sales Private Limited (“HP India”), a subsidiary of HP, 7 HP India employees and 1 former HP India employee alleging that HP India underpaid customs duties while importing products and spare parts into India and seeking to recover an aggregate of approximately $370 million, plus penalties. Prior to the issuance of the show cause notices, HP India deposited approximately $16 million with the DRI and agreed to post a provisional bond in exchange for the DRI’s agreement to not seize HP India products and spare parts and to not interrupt the transaction of business by HP India.

On April 11, 2012, the Bangalore Commissioner of Customs issued an order on the products-related show cause notice affirming certain duties and penalties against HP India and the named individuals of approximately $386 million, of which HP India had already deposited $9 million. On December 11, 2012, HP India voluntarily deposited an additional $10 million in connection with the products-related show cause notice. The differential duty demand is subject to interest. On April 20, 2012, the Commissioner issued an order on the parts-related show cause notice affirming certain duties and penalties against HP India and certain of the named individuals of approximately $17 million, of which HP India had already deposited $7 million. After the order, HP India deposited an additional $3 million in connection with the parts-related show cause notice so as to avoid certain penalties.

HP India filed appeals of the Commissioner’s orders before the Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (the “Customs Tribunal”) along with applications for waiver of the pre-deposit of remaining demand amounts as a condition for hearing the appeals. The Customs Department has also filed cross-appeals before the Customs Tribunal. On January 24, 2013, the Customs Tribunal ordered HP India to deposit an additional $24 million against the products order, which HP India deposited in March 2013. The Customs Tribunal did not order any additional deposit to be made under the parts order. In December 2013, HP India filed applications before the Customs Tribunal seeking early hearing of the appeals as well as an extension of the stay of deposit as to HP India and the individuals already granted until final disposition of the appeals. On February 7, 2014, the application for extension of the stay of deposit was granted by the Customs Tribunal until disposal of the appeals. On October 27, 2014, the Customs Tribunal commenced hearings on the cross-appeals of the Commissioner’s orders. The Customs Tribunal rejected HP India’s request to remand the matter to the Commissioner on procedural grounds. The hearings scheduled to reconvene on April 6, 2015 and again on November 3, 2015 and April 11, 2016 were ~~canceled~~cancelled at the request of the Customs Tribunal. A hearing ~~on the merits of the appeal~~ scheduled for January 15, 2019 ~~has been~~was cancelled. On January 20, 2021, the Customs Tribunal held a virtual hearing during which the judge allowed HP’s application for a physical hearing on the merits as soon as practicable, which will be scheduled when physical hearings resume at court. Pursuant to the separation and distribution agreement, Hewlett Packard Enterprise has agreed to indemnify HP in part, based on the extent to which any liability arises from the products and spare parts of Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s businesses.

HP could incur substantial costs, its products could be restricted from entering certain jurisdictions, and it could face other sanctions, if it were to violate or become liable under environmental laws or if its products become noncompliant with environmental laws. HP’s potential exposure includes fines and civil or criminal sanctions, third-party property damage or personal injury claims and clean-up costs. The amount and timing of costs to comply with environmental laws are difficult to predict.

HP is party to, or otherwise involved in, proceedings brought by U.S. or state environmental agencies under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), known as “Superfund,” or state laws similar to CERCLA, and may become a party to, or otherwise involved in, proceedings brought by private parties for contribution towards clean-up costs. HP is also conducting environmental investigations or ~~remediations~~remediation at several current or former operating sites pursuant to administrative orders or consent agreements with state environmental agencies.

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

Note 13: Guarantees, Indemnifications and Warranties

Guarantees

In the ordinary course of business, HP may issue performance guarantees to certain of its clients, customers and other parties pursuant to which HP has guaranteed the performance obligations of third parties. Some of those guarantees may be backed by standby letters of credit or surety bonds. In general, HP would be obligated to perform over the term of the guarantee in the event a specified triggering event occurs as defined by the guarantee. HP believes the likelihood of having to perform under a material guarantee is remote.

Cross-Indemnifications with Hewlett Packard Enterprise

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

For information on cross-indemnifications with Hewlett Packard Enterprise for litigation matters, see Note 12, “Litigation and Contingencies.”

In connection with the Separation, HP entered into the Tax Matters Agreement (“TMA”) with Hewlett Packard Enterprise, effective on November 1, 2015. The TMA provided that HP and Hewlett Packard Enterprise will share certain pre-Separation income tax liabilities. The TMA was terminated during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019.

Indemnifications

In the ordinary course of business, HP enters into contractual arrangements under which HP may agree to indemnify a ~~third party~~third-party to such arrangement from any losses incurred relating to the services they perform on behalf of HP or for losses arising from certain events as defined within the particular contract, which may include, for example, litigation or claims relating to past performance. HP also provides indemnifications to certain vendors and customers against claims of intellectual property infringement made by third parties arising from the vendors’ and customers’ use of HP’s software products and services and certain other matters. Some indemnifications may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. Historically, payments made related to these indemnifications have been immaterial.

HP records tax indemnification receivables from various third parties for certain tax liabilities that HP is jointly and severally liable for, but for which it is indemnified by those same third parties under existing legal agreements. HP records a tax indemnification payable to various third parties under these agreements when management believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The actual amount that the third parties pay or may be obligated to pay HP could vary depending on the outcome of certain unresolved tax matters, which may not be resolved for several years. ~~The net payable as of July 31, 2020 and October 31, 2019 were $30 million and $57 million, respectively.~~

Warranties

HP accrues the estimated cost of product warranties at the time it recognizes revenue. HP engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of its component suppliers; however, contractual warranty terms, repair costs, product call rates, average cost per call, current period product shipments and ongoing product failure rates, as well as specific product class failures outside of HP’s baseline experience, affect the estimated warranty obligation.

~~Note 14: Leases~~

HP determines, at lease inception, whether or not an arrangement contains a lease. A significant portion of the operating lease portfolio includes real estate leases. Additionally, HP has identified embedded operating leases within certain outsourced supply chain contracts. Leasing arrangements typically range in terms from 1 to 20 years with varying renewal and termination options. Substantially all of HP’s leases are considered operating leases. Finance leases, short-term leases and sub-lease income were not material as of July 31, 2020 or for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2020.

Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that HP will exercise such options. HP generally considers the economic life of the ROU assets to be comparable to the useful life of similar owned assets. HP’s leases generally do not provide a residual guarantee.

Operating leases are included in Other non-current assets, Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities. Finance leases are included in Property, plant and equipment, net, Notes payable and short-term borrowings and Long-term debt in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

As most of the leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, HP uses the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date of a lease in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is determined based on the rate of interest that HP would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term. HP uses the unsecured borrowing rate and risk-adjusts that rate to approximate a collateralized rate.

HP has elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components as a single lease element for its real estate leases and certain outsourced supply chain contracts in calculating the ROU assets and lease liabilities. Where HP chooses not to combine the lease and non-lease components, HP allocates contract consideration to the lease and non-lease components based on relative standalone prices.

~~HP reviews the impairment of the ROU assets consistent with the approach applied for other long-lived assets.~~

~~The components of lease expense are as follows:~~

Three months ended July 31, 2020 Nine months ended July 31, 2020
In millions
Operating lease cost $ 57 $ 177
Variable cost 23 81
Total lease expense $ 80 $ 258

All lease expenses, including variable lease costs, are primarily included in Cost of revenue and Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings based on the use of the facilities.

Variable lease expense relates primarily to leased real estate utilized for office space and outsourced warehousing. These costs primarily include adjustments for inflation, payments dependent on a rate or index or usage of asset and common area maintenance charges. These costs are not included in the lease liability and are recognized in the period in which they are incurred.

The following table presents supplemental information relating to the cash flows arising from lease transactions. Cash payments made from variable lease costs and short-term leases are not included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities, and, as such, are excluded from the amounts below:


	~~Nine months ended July 31, 2020~~

Unconditional Purchase Obligations

As of July 31, 2021, HP had unconditional purchase obligations of $6.8 billion. These unconditional purchase obligations include agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding on HP and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, fixed, minimum or variable price provisions and the approximate timing of the transaction. These unconditional purchase obligations are primarily related to inventory and service support. Unconditional purchase obligations exclude agreements that are cancellable without penalty.

As of July 31, 2021, unconditional purchase obligations were as follows:

Note 15: Acquisitions

On June 1, 2021, HP completed the acquisition of HyperX, the gaming division of Kingston Technology Company. The acquisition supports HP’s strategy to drive growth in gaming and peripherals within the Personal Systems segment.

The table below presents the preliminary purchase price allocation for HP's acquisition as of June 1, 2021 and reflects various preliminary fair value estimates and analyses, including preliminary work performed by third-party valuation specialists, which are subject to change within the measurement period as valuations are finalized. The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the fair values of certain tangible assets and liabilities acquired, the valuation of intangible assets acquired and residual goodwill. HP expects to continue to obtain information to assist it in determining the fair value of the net assets acquired at the acquisition date during the measurement period.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

OVERVIEW

We are a leading global provider of personal computing and other access devices, imaging and printing products, and related technologies, solutions, and services. We sell to individual consumers, SMBs and large enterprises, including customers in the government, health, and education sectors. We have three reportable segments: Personal Systems, Printing, and Corporate Investments. The Personal Systems segment offers commercial and consumer desktop and notebook PCs, workstations, thin clients, commercial mobility devices, retail POS systems, displays and ~~other related accessories,~~peripherals, software, support, and services. The Printing segment provides consumer and commercial printer hardware, supplies, solutions and ~~services, as well as scanning devices.~~services. Corporate Investments include HP Labs and certain business incubation and investment projects.

•In Personal Systems, our strategic focus is on profitable growth through innovation and market segmentation. This focus is with respect to enhanced innovation in multi-operating systems, multi-architecture, geography, customer segments and other key attributes. Additionally, we are investing in endpoint services and solutions. We are focused on services, including Device as a Service, as the market begins to shift to contractual ~~solutions.~~solutions, and accelerating in attractive adjacencies such as peripherals. We are driving innovation to enable productivity and collaboration as near-term demand continues with the PC becoming essential for hybrid work, learn and play. We believe that we are well positioned due to our competitive product lineup.

•In Printing, our strategic focus is on offering contractual solutions to serve consumers, SMBs and large enterprises through our Instant Ink Services, HP+ and Managed Print Services ~~(“MPS”) offerings,~~solutions, providing digital printing solutions for graphics segments and applications including commercial publishing, labels, packaging and textiles; as well as expanding our footprint in ~~the~~ 3D printing ~~and~~across digital manufacturing ~~marketplace.~~and strategic applications.

We continue to experience challenges that are representative of trends and uncertainties that may affect our business and results of operations. One set of challenges relates to dynamic market trends ~~such as forecasted declining PC Client markets and home printing markets.~~that may adversely impact our product mix. A second set of challenges relates to changes in the competitive landscape. Our primary competitors are exerting competitive pressure in targeted areas and are entering new markets, our emerging competitors are introducing new technologies and business models, and our alliance partners in some businesses are increasingly becoming our competitors in others. A third set of challenges relates to business model changes and our go-to-market execution in an evolving distribution and reseller landscape, with increasing online and omnichannel presence. Additional challenges we face at the segment level are set forth below.

•In Personal Systems, we face challenges with industry component availability which we expect to continue to negatively impact our ability to meet demand, and a competitive ~~pricing~~ environment.

•In Printing, we face challenges from a competitive ~~pricing~~ environment, including ~~from~~ non-original supplies (which includes imitation, refill, or remanufactured alternatives), and ~~a weakened market~~we face component constraints particularly in ~~certain geographies with associated pricing sensitivity of~~printer hardware which we expect to continue to negatively impact our ~~customers present challenges.~~ability to meet demand. We also obtain many Printing components from single sources due to technology, availability, price, quality, or other considerations. For instance, we source the majority of our A4 and a portion of our A3 portfolio of laser printer engines and laser toner cartridges from Canon. Any decision by either party to not renew our agreement with Canon or to limit or reduce the scope of the agreement could adversely affect our net revenue from LaserJet products; however, we have a long-standing business relationship with Canon and anticipate renewal of this agreement.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, we expect continued strong demand in both Personal Systems and Printing. However, we expect that component shortages, manufacturing disruptions and logistics challenges will continue to constrain revenue due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our business and financial performance also depend significantly on worldwide economic conditions. Accordingly, we face global macroeconomic challenges, particularly in light of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic as discussed below, tariff-driven headwinds, uncertainty in the markets, volatility in exchange rates ~~weaker macroeconomic conditions~~ and evolving dynamics in the global trade environment. The full impact of these and other global macroeconomic challenges on our business cannot be known at this time.

To address these challenges, we continue to pursue innovation with a view towards developing new products and services aligned with generating market demand and meeting the needs of our customers and partners. In addition, we continue to work on improving our operations and adapting our business models, with a particular focus on enhancing our end-to-end processes, analytics and efficiencies. We also continue to work on optimizing our sales coverage models, aligning our sales incentives with our strategic goals, improving channel execution and inventory management, strengthening our capabilities in our areas of strategic focus, strengthening our pricing discipline and developing and capitalizing on market opportunities.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

In October 2019, we announced cost-reduction and operational efficiency initiatives intended to simplify the way we work, move closer to our customers and facilitate specific investment in our business. These were further updated in February 2020. These efforts ~~include~~included transforming our operating model to integrate our sales force into a single commercial organization and reducing structural costs across the Company through our restructuring plan approved in September 2019 (the “Fiscal 2020 Plan”). We have invested and expect to invest some of the savings from these efforts across our businesses, including investing to build our digital capabilities. Over time, we expect these investments will make us more efficient and allow us to advance our positions in Personal Systems and Printing, while also disrupting new industries where we see attractive medium to long-term growth opportunities. However, the rate at which we are able to invest in our business and the returns that we are able to

achieve from these investments will be affected by many factors, including the efforts to address the execution, industry and macroeconomic challenges facing our business as discussed above. As a result, we may experience delays in the anticipated timing of activities related to these efforts, and the anticipated benefits of these efforts may not materialize.

In the second year of our program, we continue to look at new cost savings opportunities and remain ahead of our $1.2 billion gross run rate structural cost reduction plan. In the third quarter of fiscal 2021, we completed the initial deployment of our SAP S/4 HANA system, one of the largest ERP implementations. Also, as part of our end-to-end business planning and forecasting efforts, we went live with our new cloud-based platform which we believe will improve our forecasting agility as part of our digital transformation. Further, our hybrid work strategy has enabled us to accelerate our location strategy while providing a more flexible workspace. Going forward we are enabling HP’s hybrid work strategy by modernizing our sites to be critical hubs for collaboration and innovation. This will also deliver savings in our real estate portfolio. For more information on our Fiscal 2020 Plan, see Note 3, “Restructuring and Other Charges”, to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

We typically experience higher net revenues in our fourth quarter compared to other quarters in our fiscal year due in part to seasonal holiday demand. Historical seasonal patterns ~~should~~may not ~~be considered reliable indicators~~continue in the future and have been impacted by increasing supply constraints, shifts in customer behavior and the evolving impacts of ~~our future net revenues or financial performance.~~

Our COVID-19 Response

~~In late 2019, COVID-19 was first identified, and in March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19~~We continue to be a pandemic. The rapid spread of COVID-19 prompted governments and businesses to take unprecedented measures in response, including restrictions on travel and business operations, temporary closures of businesses, and quarantines and shelter-in-place orders.

~~As reflected in the discussions that follow,~~closely monitor the COVID-19 pandemic, including its resurgence in key markets. We will continue promoting the health, safety, and well-being of workers and their loved ones. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have established a cross-functional COVID-19 program management office that meets regularly to review the latest data from our business and site leaders, identify and address emerging risks, and formulate response to actions taken by governments ~~businesses~~ and ~~individuals~~public policy organizations. We have put in ~~response to the pandemic have had a variety of impacts~~place global policies and protocols based on ~~our results of operations for the three~~guidance from healthcare experts and ~~nine months ended July 31, 2020, some of which have been significant. This section summarizes our response to the significant impacts that we have experienced to date,~~public health leaders, and we ~~have also included additional details as applicable throughout other sections of this report. We continue~~regularly review and update them to ~~actively monitor the situation~~reflect current information and ~~review our plans based on~~ the requirements and recommendations of national, federal, state, and local authorities. We balance our company-wide approach by assessing risk and adjusting our response at the site level, taking into consideration each country's or area's COVID-19 case trends and related measures.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

•~~Our customers and partners.~~We are committed to our customers and partners and to meeting their needs. We have taken meaningful actions to remain close to our customers and partners, including implementing a variety of relief initiatives to help them navigate their operational and financial challenges. We have provided a variety of financing and leasing options for end customers. We have provided short-term market and country-specific incentives for partners. In addition, HP has implemented a more predictable, flat-rate incentive program and relaxed compensation models, and has also expanded its virtual engagement options, including free access to cybersecurity support and on-demand training. Partners can opt in for customized online digital learning paths designed to meet their specific priorities. We are also introducing programs, designed to enable our customers and partners to adapt to the current work environment, such as the HP Managed Print Cloud Services and the HP Flexworker Solutions program.

•~~Supply chain.~~ ~~In t~~he nine months ended July 31, 2020, we experienced disruptions in our manufacturing and supply chain. This included temporary factory closures in China and Southeast Asia that impacted our own factories as well as those of our suppliers and outsourcing partners, resulting in temporary supply shortages. Manufacturing capacity returned largely to normalized levels in April through early May 2020 except for factories in Southeast Asia, primarily due to certain local regulations, which recovered by the end of June 2020. These disruptions resulted in temporary supply shortages. Additionally, we also experienced logistics challenges, including delays in delivering to our channels and end-customers. This affected our ability to fulfill demand for Personal Systems and Printing worldwide.

•~~Demand.~~ COVID-19 has created new and different demand dynamics in the market. This is creating both challenges and opportunities across our businesses and geographies. In Personal Systems, we saw increased demand globally as the focus moved to keeping people connected, productive and secure and it reemphasized the essential role that the PC plays in everyday life. We also saw a mix shift in demand from Commercial to Consumer, Desktops to Notebooks driven by strength in Chromebooks particularly in Education. In Printing, we saw a slowdown in Office and Graphics as offices remain closed and large events continue to be canceled. There are early indications of recovery; there was some improvement in Commercial Printing toward the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2020. However, there remains uncertainty about the phasing and pace of recovery. We also continue to see increased demand for hardware and ink supplies on the Consumer Printing side as customers set up home office for remote working and school environment for remote learning.

•~~Liquidity.~~ The extent and duration of the disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic remain uncertain. As a result, our liquidity and working capital needs may be impacted in future periods. We believe that our businesses are strong cash flow generators and we maintain a strong balance sheet to meet our liquidity needs. We believe our current cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operating activities, available commercial paper authorization, new borrowings, and our credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our operating cash requirements, planned capital expenditures, interest and principal payments on all borrowings, pension and post-retirement funding requirements, authorized share repurchases and annual dividend payments for the foreseeable future.

The full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations and financial position is currently uncertain and will depend on many factors that are not within our control, including, but not limited to: the duration and scope of the pandemic; the effectiveness of actions taken to contain or mitigate the pandemic and prevent or limit any reoccurrence; the development, availability and public acceptance of effective treatments or vaccines; governmental, business and individuals’ actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic; general economic uncertainty in key global markets and financial market volatility; global economic conditions and levels of economic growth; and the pace of recovery when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides. ~~See the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part II of this report for further information about related risks and uncertainties.~~

Unsolicited Exchange Offer in Fiscal Year 2020

On March 2, 2020, Xerox Holdings Corporation (“Xerox”) commenced an unsolicited exchange offer for all outstanding shares of HP’s common stock (the “Offer”). Xerox had also previously nominated candidates for election to HP’s Board of Directors at HP’s 2020 annual meeting of stockholders. On March 31, 2020, Xerox announced that the Offer had been terminated and subsequently withdrew its slate of director nominees. In order to respond to Xerox’s actions, HP incurred ~~significant~~certain costs during the three and ninemonths ended July 31, 2020.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

MD&A is based on our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. As of July 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the impact of COVID-19 on our business continued to unfold. As a result, many of our estimates and assumptions required increased judgment and may carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, our estimates may change in future periods. Our management believes that there have been no significant changes during the nine months ended July 31, ~~2020~~2021 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in MD&A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, ~~2019,~~2020, except as mentioned ~~previously~~ in Note 1, “Basis of Presentation”.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue from our international operations has historically represented, and we expect will continue to represent, a majority of our overall net revenue. As a result, our net revenue growth has been impacted, and we expect it will continue to be impacted, by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. In order to provide a framework for assessing performance excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, we supplement the year-over-year percentage change in net revenue with the year-over-year percentage change in net revenue on a constant currency basis, which excludes the effect of foreign currency exchange fluctuations calculated by translating current period revenues using monthly average exchange rates from the comparative period and excluding any hedging ~~activities from~~impact recognized in the ~~prior-year~~current period, and does not adjust for any repricing or demand impacts from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. This information is provided so that net revenue can be viewed with and without the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, which is consistent with how management evaluates our net revenue results and trends, as management does not believe that the excluded items are reflective of ongoing operating results. The constant currency measures are provided in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the year-over-year percentage change in net revenue on a GAAP basis. Other companies may calculate and define similarly labeled items differently, which may limit the usefulness of this measure for comparative purposes.

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

Net Revenue

For the three months ended July 31, 2021, net revenue increased 7.0% (increased 4.1% on a constant currency basis) as compared to the prior-year period. U.S. net revenue increased 11.4% to $5.8 billion, while net revenue from international operations increased 4.4% to $9.5 billion. The increase in net revenue was primarily driven by growth in Supplies, favorable foreign currency impacts, a reduction to previously estimated sales and marketing program incentives and growth in Commercial Printing, partially offset by decline in Notebooks. The increase in Supplies and Commercial Printing was primarily driven by improvement in enterprise and SMBs. Supply chain constraints impacted both Printing and Personal Systems revenue growth. For more information on the reduction to previously estimated sales and marketing program incentives, see the “Changes in Variable Consideration” section in Note 6, “Supplementary Financial Information”, to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development (“R&D”)

R&D expense ~~decreased 13.1%~~increased 32.9% and 33.3% for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2021, respectively, primarily due to continuing investments in innovation and key growth initiatives and higher variable compensation.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”)

SG&A expense increased 21.8% for the three months ended July 31, ~~2020, as compared to the prior-year period,~~2021, primarily due to ~~improved efficiency~~go-to-market initiatives and higher variable compensation.

SG&A expense ~~management. R&D expenses decreased 1.2%~~increased 16.5% for the nine months ended July 31, 2021, primarily due to higher variable compensation and go-to-market initiatives.

Restructuring and Other Charges

Restructuring and other charges for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2021 relate primarily to the Fiscal 2020 Plan. For more information, see Note 3, “Restructuring and other charges”, to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2021 relates primarily to intangible assets resulting from acquisitions.

Interest and Other, Net

Interest and other, net expense increased $27 million and $91 million for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2021, respectively, primarily due to lower Net Periodic Post-retirement Benefit Credit and higher interest expenses on debt, partially offset by lower debt extinguishment costs.

Provision for taxes

Our effective tax rate was 16.5% and 2.2% for the three months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 14.0% and 11.4% for the nine months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% and our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2021 was primarily due to tax effects of internal reorganization and by favorable tax rates associated with certain earnings from our operations in lower-tax jurisdictions throughout the world. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2020, our effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to audit settlements in various jurisdictions and favorable tax rates associated with certain earnings from our operations in lower-tax jurisdictions throughout the world.

During the three and nine months ended July 31, 2021, we recorded $21 million and $150 million, respectively, of net income tax benefits related to discrete items in the provision for taxes. These amounts included income tax benefits of $9 million and $45 million related to restructuring charges and $23 million and $30 million related to the filing of tax returns in

~~as compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to improved efficiency and expense management partially offset by continuing investments in innovation and key growth initiatives.~~

~~Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”)~~

~~SG&A expense decreased 16.0% and 7.6%~~various jurisdictions for the three and nine months ended July 31, ~~2020, respectively, as compared~~2021, respectively. The nine months ended July 31, 2021 also included a tax benefit of $89 million related to ~~the prior-year period, driven~~tax effects of internal reorganization and a tax benefit of $10 million related to audit settlements in various jurisdictions. These benefits were partially offset by ~~structural cost savings from transformation program~~uncertain tax position charges of $13 million and ~~the benefits of temporary discretionary cost actions.~~

~~Restructuring and Other Charges~~

~~Restructuring and other charges~~$25 million for the three and nine months ended July 31, ~~2020 relate primarily to the Fiscal 2020 Plan.~~

~~Amortization of Intangible Assets~~

~~Amortization of intangible assets for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2020 relates primarily to intangible assets resulting from prior acquisitions.~~

~~Interest and Other, Net~~

Interest and other, net expense decreased by $0.8 billion and $0.9 billion for the three months and nine months ended July 31, 2020, respectively, as compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to reversal of indemnification receivables from Hewlett Packard Enterprise pertaining to various audit settlements in the prior- year period.

~~Provision for Taxes~~

~~Our effective tax rate was 2.2% and (375.4)% for the three months ended July 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 11.4% and (36.1)% for the nine months ended July 31, 2020 and 2019,~~2021, respectively. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% and our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2020 is primarily due to audit settlements in various jurisdictions and favorable tax rates associated with certain earnings from our operations in lower-tax jurisdictions throughout the world. For the three and nine months ended July 31, ~~2019, our effective~~2021, excess tax ~~rate generally differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the resolution of various audits, transitional impacts of U.S. tax reform, and favorable tax rates~~benefits associated with ~~certain earnings from our operations in lower-tax jurisdictions throughout the world.~~stock options, restricted stock units and performance-adjusted restricted stock units were immaterial.

During the three and nine months ended July 31, 2020, we recorded $116 million and $182 million respectively, of net tax benefits related to discrete items in the provision for taxes. These amounts included tax benefits of $102 million and $143 million related to audit settlements in various jurisdictions, $20 million and $75 million related to restructuring charges, and $4 million and $20 million related to acquisition charges for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2020, respectively. These benefits were partially offset by uncertain tax position charges of $3 million and $54 million for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2020, respectively. For the nine months ended July 31, 2020, excess tax benefits associated with stock options, restricted stock units and performance-adjusted restricted stock units were immaterial.

During the three and nine months ended July 31, 2019, we recorded $1.1 billion of net income tax benefits related to discrete items in the provision for taxes. This amount included tax benefits of $1.0 billion related to various audit settlements, $75 million due to the ability to utilize tax attributes, along with $57 million and $78 million for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2019, respectively, related to U.S. tax reform as a result of new guidance issued by the IRS. These benefits were partially offset by valuation allowance charges of $98 million for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2019. In addition to the discrete items mentioned above, we recorded $21 million of excess tax benefits associated with stock options, restricted stock units and performance-adjusted restricted stock units for the nine months ended July 31, 2019.

We record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that we are more likely than not to realize. During the three and nine months ended July 31, 2020, we determined that no material adjustments were required to our valuation allowances due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its resulting impact to our business. We will continue to monitor projections and their potential impact on our assessment regarding the realizability of our deferred tax asset balances.

The increase in unit volume was driven by an increase in Notebooks due to strong demand driven by work from home, remote learning and gaming, partially offset by decline is Desktops and Workstations. Also, industry-wide supply chain constraints limited unit growth during the nine months ended July 31, 2021. Further, for the prior-year period, unit shipments were negatively impacted by supply chain constraints resulting from COVID-19.

~~Three months ended July 31, 2020 compared with three months ended July 31, 2019~~

Printing net revenue decreased 19.9% (decreased 18.8% on a constant currency basis) for the three months ended July 31, 2020 as compared to the prior-year period. The decline in net revenue was driven by declines in Supplies, Commercial Hardware and unfavorable foreign currency impacts partially offset by growth in Consumer Hardware. Net revenue for Supplies decreased 18.7% as compared to the prior-year period, primarily driven by demand weakness as businesses continue to operate with reduced onsite capacity and a majority of office workers continue to work from home. Printer unit volume decreased 2.2% and ASPs decreased 24.8% as compared to the prior-year period. The decrease in printer unit volume was primarily driven by unit decrease in Commercial Hardware partially offset by Consumer Hardware. Printer ASPs decreased primarily due to lower rate in Commercial Hardware.

Net revenue for Commercial Hardware decreased by 36.9% as compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to a 31.7% decrease in printer unit volume and a 27.7% decrease in ASPs. The printer unit volume decline was due to lower demand for Commercial Hardware as businesses continue to operate with reduced onsite capacity. The decrease in ASPs was primarily driven by lower rate, unfavorable mix shifts and foreign currency impact.

Net revenue for Consumer Hardware increased 6.8% as compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to a 3.8% increase in ASPs and a 3.1% increase in printer unit volume. The increase in ASPs was primarily driven by higher rate partially offset by unfavorable mix shifts and foreign currency impact. The printer unit volume increased as consumers set up work from home as well as distance learning.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We use cash generated by operations as our primary source of liquidity. While the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic ~~are currently~~were originally expected to be temporary, the duration and impact of the pandemic remains unclear. With the emergence of variants, there isremains uncertainty around ~~its~~the extent and duration of the pandemic and how our liquidity and working capital needs may be impacted in the future ~~periods.~~periods as a result. We believe that current cash, cash flow from operating activities, new borrowings, available commercial paper authorization and the credit facilities will be sufficient to meet HP’s operating cash requirements, planned capital expenditures, interest and principal payments on all borrowings, pension and post-retirement funding requirements, authorized share repurchases and annual dividend payments for the foreseeable future. Additionally, ~~in the event that~~if suitable ~~businesses are available for~~ acquisition ~~that offer good return~~ opportunities arise, the Company may obtain all or a portion of the required financing ~~for these acquisitions~~ through additional borrowings. While our access to capital markets may be constrained and our cost of borrowing may increase under certain business, market and economic conditions, our access to a variety of funding sources to meet our liquidity needs is designed to facilitate continued access to capital resources under all such conditions. Our liquidity is subject to various risks including the risks identified in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part ~~II of this report as well as Item 1A of Part~~ I in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, ~~2019~~2020 and the market risks identified in the section entitled “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in Item 3 of Part I of this report.

During the nine months ended July 31, 2021, HP completed three acquisitions with a combined purchase price of $582 million, net of cash acquired, of which $217 million was recorded as goodwill and $288 million as intangible assets related to these acquisitions.

On ~~February 22, 2020, HP’s Board~~July 27, 2021, we announced a definitive agreement to acquire Teradici Corporation, a global innovator in remote computing software that enables users to securely access high-performance computing from any PC, Chromebook, or tablet, for $275 million, subject to customary working capital and other adjustments. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of ~~Directors increased HP’s share repurchase authorization to $15.0 billion.~~calendar 2021, pending regulatory review and other customary closing conditions.

Our cash and cash equivalents balances are held in numerous locations throughout the world. We utilize a variety of planning and financing strategies in an effort to ensure that our worldwide cash is available when and where it is needed. Amounts held outside of the United States are generally utilized to support non-U.S. liquidity needs and may from time to time be distributed to the United States. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) made significant changes to the U.S. tax law, including a one-time transition tax on accumulated foreign earnings. The payments associated with this one-time transition tax will be paid over eight years and began in fiscal year 2019. We expect a significant portion of the cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries will no longer be subject to U.S. income tax consequences upon a subsequent repatriation to the United States as a result of the transition tax on accumulated foreign earnings. However, a portion of this cash may still be subject to foreign income tax or withholding tax consequences upon repatriation. As we evaluate the future cash needs of our

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

DSO measures the average number of days our receivables are outstanding. DSO is calculated by dividing ending accounts receivable, net of allowance for ~~doubtful accounts,~~credit losses, by a 90-day average net revenue. The decrease in DSO ~~remained flat as of July 31, 2020,~~was primarily due to higher revenue as compared to prior-year ~~period.~~period and favorable revenue linearity.

DOS measures the average number of days from procurement to sale of our product. DOS is calculated by dividing ending inventory by a 90-day average cost of revenue. The increase in DOS was primarily due to ~~demand weakness~~higher strategic buys to better assure supply of commodities in ~~Commercial~~Personal Systems, partially offset by improvement in Printing.

Share Repurchases and Dividends

During the nine months ended July 31, 2021, HP returned $5.2 billion to the shareholders in the form of share repurchases of $4.5 billion and cash dividends of $0.7 billion. As of July 31, 2021, HP had approximately $8.2 billion remaining under the share repurchase authorizations approved by HP’s Board of Directors.

For more information on our share repurchases, see Note 10, “Stockholders’ Deficit”, to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Capital Resources

Debt Levels

We maintain debt levels that we establish through consideration of a number of factors, including cash flow expectations, cash requirements for operations, investment plans (including acquisitions), share repurchase activities, our cost of capital and targeted capital structure. Depending on these factors, we may, from time to time, incur additional indebtedness or refinance existing indebtedness. Outstanding borrowings increased to ~~$6.3~~$7.1 billion as of July 31, ~~2020~~2021 as compared to ~~$5.1~~$6.2 billion as of October 31, ~~2019,~~2020, bearing weighted-average interest rates of ~~3.8%~~3.3% and ~~4.6%~~3.9% for July 31, ~~2020~~2021 and October 31, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively.

On June 16, 2021, we issued $2.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior notes across various maturities. We used approximately $1.0 billion of the proceeds from such issuance to fund the redemption of existing notes maturing in 2021. For more information on the new notes and the redemption of existing notes, see Note 9, “Borrowings”, to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Our weighted-average interest rate reflects the effective rate on our borrowings prevailing during the period and reflects the effect of interest rate swaps. For more information on our interest rate swaps, see Note 8, “Financial Instruments”, to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

On May 26, 2021, we entered into a new $5.0 billion 5-year sustainability-linked senior unsecured committed revolving credit facility (the ‘New Revolving Facility”). Commitment fees, interest rates and other terms of borrowing under the New Revolving Facility vary based on HP’s external credit ratings and certain sustainability metrics. Funds borrowed under the New Revolving Facility may be used for general corporate purposes.

As of July 31, ~~2020,~~2021, we ~~maintain a~~maintained the above mentioned 5-year senior unsecured committed revolving credit facility with aggregate lending commitments of ~~$4.0~~$5.0 billion. Commitments under the $5.0 billion ~~which will be available until March 30, 2023 and is primarily to support the issuance of commercial paper.On May 29, 2020, we entered into a 364-day~~ revolving credit facility ~~providing for a senior unsecured revolving credit facility with aggregate lending commitments of $1.0 billion, which~~ will be available until May ~~28, 2021. Funds borrowed under these revolving credit facilities may be used for general corporate purposes.~~

On June 17, 2020, we issued $3.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes across various maturities. We used approximately $0.7 billion and $0.9 billion of the proceeds from such issuance to fund the Tender Offer and the redemption, respectively, of existing notes maturing in 2020 and 2021. For more information on the new notes and the repurchase and redemption of existing notes, see Note 9, “Borrowings”, to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

In December 2020, we filed a post-effective amendment to convert the shelf registration statement we initially filed in December 2019 (the “2019 Shelf Registration Statement”) to a non-automatic shelf registration statement because we are no longer a “well-known seasoned issuer”. The 2019 Shelf Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on February 25, 2021 and enables us to offer for sale, from time to time, in one or more offerings, $5.0 billion, in the aggregate, of debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, depository shares and warrants.

For more information on our borrowings, see Note 9, “Borrowings”, to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Credit Ratings

Our credit risk is evaluated by major independent rating agencies based upon publicly available information as well as information obtained in our ongoing discussions with them. While we do not have any rating downgrade triggers that would accelerate the maturity of a material amount of our debt, previous downgrades have increased the cost of borrowing under our credit facilities, have reduced market capacity for our commercial paper and have required the posting of additional collateral under some of our derivative contracts. In addition, any further downgrade to our credit ratings by any rating agencies may further impact us in a similar manner, and, depending on the extent of any such downgrade, could have a negative impact on our liquidity and capital position. We can access alternative sources of funding, including drawdowns under our credit facilities, if necessary, to offset potential reductions in the market capacity for our commercial paper.

~~CONTRACTUAL AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS~~

~~Principal and Interest payments on debt~~

In June 2020 we issued $3.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes across various maturities. We used approximately $0.7 billion and $0.9 billion of the proceeds from such issuance to fund the Tender Offer and the redemption,

Unconditional Purchase Obligation

Purchase obligations include agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding on HP and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. These unconditional purchase obligations are primarily related to inventory and service support. Unconditional purchase obligations exclude agreements that are cancellable without penalty. As of July 31, 2021, the Company had outstanding purchase commitments of $6.8 billion. The majority of these commitments are due within five years, see Note 14, “Commitments”, to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Retirement and Post-Retirement Benefit Plan Contributions

As of July 31, ~~2020,~~2021, we anticipate making contributions for the remainder of fiscal year ~~2020~~2021 of approximately ~~$46~~$27 million to our non-U.S. pension plans, $9$13 million to cover benefit payments to U.S. non-qualified pension plan participants and $2 million to cover benefit claims for our post-retirement benefit plans. Our policy is to fund our pension plans so that we meet at least the minimum contribution required by local government, funding and taxing authorities. For more information on our retirement and post-retirement benefit plans, see Note 4, “Retirement and Post-Retirement Benefit Plans”, to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Cost Savings Plan

As a result of our approved restructuring plans, we expect to make future cash payments of approximately ~~$0.6~~$0.4 billion. We expect to make future cash payments of $0.1 billion in fiscal year ~~2020~~2021 with remaining cash payments through fiscal year 2023. For more information on our restructuring activities that are part of our cost improvements, see Note 3, “Restructuring and Other Charges”, to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Uncertain Tax Positions

As of July 31, ~~2020,~~2021, we had approximately ~~$489~~$566 million of recorded liabilities and related interest and penalties pertaining to uncertain tax positions. We are unable to make a reasonable estimate as to when cash settlement with the tax authorities might occur due to the uncertainties related to these tax matters. Payments of these obligations would result from settlements with taxing authorities. For more information on our uncertain tax positions, see Note 5, “Taxes on Earnings”, to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

~~OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS~~Off-balance sheet arrangements

As part of our ongoing business, we have not participated in transactions that generate material relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

We have third-party short-term financing arrangements intended to facilitate the working capital requirements of certain customers. For more information on our third-party short-term financing arrangements, see Note 6, “Supplementary Financial Information”, to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting HP, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in Item 7A of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, ~~2019.~~2020. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since October 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in our SEC reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to HP’s management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that there has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting during that quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

~~We do not believe there has been any material impact~~During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, we transitioned to our new Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) environment as our system of record for financial reporting, which included select changes to our financial close processes specifically relating to our general ledger and system for financial consolidation. There were no other changes that occurred during the quarter ended July 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal ~~controls~~control over financial reporting notwithstanding that most of our employees are working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to monitor and assess the COVID-19 situation on our internal controls to address any potential impact on their design and operating effectiveness.reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Information with respect to this item may be found in Note 12, “Litigation and Contingencies” to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, ~~2019,~~2020, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and the trading price of our common and capital stock. ~~Other than the risk factors set forth below, there~~There have been no material changes in our risk factors since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, ~~2019.~~

~~Our business, results of operations and financial condition have been adversely affected and could in the future be materially adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.~~

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel strain of the coronavirus (COVID-19) to be a pandemic. As part of efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19, governmental authorities have imposed various restrictions, such as travel bans, stay-at-home orders and quarantines, social distancing measures and temporary business closures. The COVID-19 pandemic and the actions taken by governments, businesses and individuals in response to the pandemic have resulted in, and are expected to continue to result in, a substantial curtailment of business activities (including the decrease in demand for a broad variety of goods and services), weakened economic conditions, supply chain disruptions, significant economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, both in the United States and abroad.

The COVID-19 pandemic is adversely impacting, and is expected to continue to adversely impact, our operations and financial performance. COVID-19 related restrictions impacted the demand dynamics for certain products and services as a result of temporary closures of offices and businesses and as people moved to spending more time at home, which negatively impacted sales for both commercial Personal Systems and Print. For as long as remote working and learning practices remain prevalent, whether due to restrictions implemented by governmental authorities or businesses allowing employees to continue to work remotely, we expect decreased sales of products for in-office consumption in some markets and channels. While this decrease in demand has been partially offset by increased sales of certain products for in-home consumption, we are unable to predict for how long or to what extent this increase will continue. Moreover, our channel partners have experienced, and may continue to experience, disruptions in their operations due to governmental and business restrictions implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused, and may continue to cause, reduced, or cancelled orders, or collection risks. This has further adversely impacted our results of operations and we expect it to continue to have a negative impact on our results of operations.

Additionally, we have experienced temporary factory closures and other supply chain disruptions as a result of COVID-19, and we may continue to experience such disruptions. For example, in the nine months ended July 31, 2020, our manufacturing sites, including sites in China and Southeast Asia, as well as those of our suppliers and outsourcing partners, were adversely impacted by COVID-19 as a result of quarantines, facility closures, including temporary factory closures, and travel and logistics restrictions. In the three months ended July 31, 2020, our factories returned to largely normalized levels. These disruptions in Asia resulted in temporary supply shortages that affected sales worldwide for both Personal Systems and Print. We may experience further disruptions in the future, and any prolonged disruptions to our manufacturing operations and/or supply chain could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We continue to have significant sources of cash and liquidity and access to committed credit lines, but a prolonged period of generating lower cash from operations, whether as a result of reduced demand or disruptions to our manufacturing operations and/or supply chain or for other reasons, could adversely affect our financial condition.

We are also facing increased operational challenges as we take measures to support and protect employee health and safety, including limiting employee travel, closing facilities and offices, and implementing work-from-home policies for employees. In particular, our remote work arrangements, coupled with stay-at-home orders and quarantines, pose new challenges for our employees and our IT systems and extended periods of remote work arrangements could strain our business continuity plans, introduce operational risk, including but not limited to cybersecurity and IT systems management risks, and impair our ability to manage our business.

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may also limit the resources afforded to or delay the implementation of our strategic initiatives or plans and make it more difficult to develop, manufacture and market innovative products and services. If our strategic initiatives are delayed or otherwise modified, such initiatives may not achieve some or all of the expected benefits of such initiatives, which could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

~~Table of Contents~~ 2020.

The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and financial performance depends on many factors that are not within our control, including, but not limited, to: governmental, business and individuals’ actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic; general economic uncertainty in key global markets and financial market volatility; global economic conditions and levels of economic growth; and the pace of recovery when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides.

Further, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the volatile regional and global economic conditions stemming from the pandemic, could also precipitate or aggravate the other risk factors that we identify in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, any of which could materially adversely impact our business. We also face an increased risk of litigation and governmental and regulatory scrutiny as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on economic and market conditions. Further, the COVID-19 pandemic may also affect our business and financial results in a manner that is not presently known to us or that we currently do not consider to present significant risks to our operations.

~~Our level of indebtedness and related debt service obligations could adversely affect our business and financial condition.~~

As of July 31, 2020, we had an aggregate of $6.3 billion of outstanding indebtedness that will mature between calendar year 2020 and calendar year 2041 and we had availability under our revolving credit facility of $4.0 billion, availability under our 364-day revolving credit facility of $1.0 billion, and $725 million available from uncommitted lines of credit. We may also incur additional indebtedness in the future. Our debt level and related debt service obligations could have the effect, among other things, of reducing our flexibility to respond to changing business and economic conditions, and reducing funds available for working capital, capital expenditures, dividend repayments, acquisitions, and other general corporate purposes. Moreover, our indebtedness increases our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions. Further, we may be required to raise additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service obligations, debt refinancing, future acquisitions or other general corporate purposes. Our ability to arrange additional financing or refinancing will depend on, among other factors, our financial position and performance, as well as prevailing market conditions and other factors beyond our control, and could be adversely impacted by our debt level. Consequently, we may not be able to obtain additional financing or refinancing on terms acceptable to us or at all, which could adversely impact our ability to service our outstanding indebtedness or to repay our outstanding indebtedness as it becomes due and adversely impact our business and financial condition. Additionally, further borrowings may increase the risk of a future downgrade in our credit ratings, which could increase future debt costs and limit the future availability of debt financing.

~~Our business could be negatively impacted as a result of actions by activist stockholders or others.~~

Recently, HP was the target of a proxy contest and exchange offer by Xerox Holdings Corporation in connection with its unsolicited offer to acquire HP, which resulted in significant costs to HP. While Xerox ultimately terminated its offer to acquire HP and withdrew the slate of director candidates it had nominated, if similar actions were taken in the future or we were the target of other activist shareholder activities in the future, our business could be adversely affected because responding to such actions can be costly and time-consuming, disruptive to our operations and divert the attention of management and our employees. Moreover, such actions may create perceived uncertainties among current and potential customers, clients, suppliers, employees and other constituencies as to our future direction, which could result in lost sales and the loss of potential business opportunities and make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel and business partners. In addition, actual or perceived actions of activist stockholders may cause significant fluctuations in our stock price based on temporary or speculative market perceptions or other factors that do not necessarily reflect the underlying fundamentals and prospects of our business.

~~Unanticipated changes in our tax provisions, the adoption of new tax legislation or exposure to additional tax liabilities could affect our financial performance.~~

We are subject to income and other taxes in the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. Our tax liabilities are affected by the amounts we charge in intercompany transactions for inventory, services, licenses, funding and other items. We are subject to ongoing tax audits in various jurisdictions. Tax authorities may disagree with these intercompany transactions or other matters and may assess additional taxes or adjust taxable income on our tax returns as a result. We regularly assess the likely outcomes of these audits in order to determine the appropriateness of our tax provision. However, we cannot assure you that we will accurately predict the outcomes of these audits, and the amounts ultimately paid upon resolution of audits could be materially different from the amounts previously included in our income tax expense and therefore could have a material impact on our tax provision, net income and cash flows.

Our effective tax rate in the future could be adversely affected by changes to our operating structure, changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities or changes in tax laws or in their interpretation or enforcement. In addition, tax legislation has been introduced or is being considered in various jurisdictions that could significantly impact our tax rate, the carrying value of deferred tax assets, or our deferred tax liabilities. Any of these changes could affect our financial performance.

The Company’s share repurchase program, which does not have a specific expiration date, authorizes repurchases in the open market or in private transactions. On February 22, 2020, HP’s Board of Directors increased HP’s remaining share repurchase authorization to $15.0 billion in total. HP intends to ~~use repurchases from time to time to offset the dilution created by shares issued under employee stock plans and to~~ repurchase shares ~~opportunistically.~~opportunistically as part of a robust share repurchase program. HP expects to continue share repurchases at an elevated level of at least $1.5 billion in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. All share repurchases settled in the third quarter of fiscal year ~~2020~~2021 were open market transactions.
