Net revenue and EPS results

HP Inc. and its subsidiaries (“HP”) announced fiscal 2023 second quarter net revenue of $12.9 billion, down 21.7% (down 18.0% in constant currency) from the prior-year period.

“Our disciplined execution and strong innovation in a tough macro environment allowed us to deliver non-GAAP EPS at the high-end of our target in Q2,” said Enrique Lores, HP President and CEO. “We are well-positioned to win in our markets and drive long-term sustainable growth as we make continued progress against our Future Ready plan.”

Second quarter GAAP diluted net EPS was $1.07, up from $0.94 in the prior-year period and above the previously provided outlook of $0.40 to $0.50. Second quarter non-GAAP diluted net EPS was $0.80, down from $1.08 in the prior-year period and within the previously provided outlook of $0.73 to $0.83. Second quarter non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted net EPS excludes after-tax adjustments of $(269) million, or $(0.27) per diluted share, related to restructuring and other charges, acquisition and divestiture charges, amortization of intangible assets, non-operating retirement-related credits and tax adjustments.

Asset management

HP's net cash provided by operating activities in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was $0.6 billion. Accounts receivable ended the quarter at $4.1 billion, up 1 day quarter over quarter to 29 days. Inventory ended the quarter at $7.2 billion, up 5 days quarter over quarter to 65 days. Accounts payable ended the quarter at $13.3 billion, up 10 days quarter over quarter to 120 days.

HP generated $0.5 billion of free cash flow in the second quarter. Free cash flow includes net cash provided by operating activities of $0.6 billion adjusted for net investments in leases of $35 million and net investments in property, plant and equipment of $130 million.

HP’s dividend payment of $0.2625 per share in the second quarter resulted in cash usage of $0.3 billion. HP exited the quarter with $1.9 billion in gross cash, which includes cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $1.9 billion, and short-term investments of $3 million included in other current assets. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash includes $17 million of restricted cash related to amounts collected and held on behalf of a third party for trade receivables previously sold.

Outlook
For the fiscal 2023 third quarter, HP estimates GAAP diluted net EPS to be in the range of $0.61 to $0.71 and non-GAAP diluted net EPS to be in the range of $0.81 to $0.91. Fiscal 2023 third quarter non-GAAP diluted net EPS estimates exclude $0.20 per diluted share, primarily related to restructuring and other charges, acquisition and divestiture charges, amortization of intangible assets, non-operating retirement-related credits, tax adjustments and the related tax impact on these items.

For fiscal 2023, HP estimates GAAP diluted net EPS to be in the range of $2.91 to $3.11 and non-GAAP diluted net EPS to be in the range of $3.30 to $3.50. Fiscal 2023 non-GAAP diluted net EPS estimates exclude $0.39 per diluted share, primarily related to restructuring and other charges, acquisition and divestiture charges, amortization of intangible assets, debt extinguishment costs, non-operating retirement-related credits, tax adjustments and the related tax impact on these items.

Use of non-GAAP financial measures
To supplement HP’s consolidated condensed financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, HP provides net revenue on a constant currency basis, non-GAAP total operating expense, non-GAAP operating profit, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP tax rate, non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted net EPS, free cash flow, gross cash and net cash (debt). HP also provides forecasts of non-GAAP diluted net EPS and free cash flow.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not computed in accordance with, or as an alternative to, GAAP in the United States. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the tables above or elsewhere in the materials accompanying this news release.

Use and economic substance of non-GAAP financial measures
Net revenue on a constant currency basis excludes the effect of foreign currency exchange fluctuations calculated by translating current period revenues using monthly exchange rates from the comparative period and excluding any hedging impact recognized in the current period. Non-GAAP operating margin is defined to exclude the effects of any amounts relating to restructuring and other charges, acquisition and divestiture charges, and amortization of intangible assets. Non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted net EPS consist of net earnings or diluted net EPS excluding those same charges, defined benefit plan settlement charges, non-operating retirement related (credits)/charges, debt extinguishment costs, tax adjustments and the amount of additional taxes or tax benefits associated with each non-GAAP item.

HP’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for purposes of evaluating HP’s historical and prospective financial performance, as well as HP’s performance relative to its competitors. HP’s management also uses these non-GAAP measures to further its own understanding of HP’s segment operating performance. HP believes that excluding the items mentioned above for these non-GAAP financial measures allows HP’s management to better understand HP’s consolidated financial performance in relation to the operating results of HP’s segments, as HP’s management does not believe that the excluded items are reflective of ongoing operating results. More specifically, HP’s management excludes each of those items mentioned above for the following reasons:

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure that is defined as cash flow (used in) provided by operations activities adjusted for net investment in leases and net investments in property, plant, and equipment. Gross cash is a non-GAAP measure that is defined as cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash plus short-term investments and certain long-term investments that may be liquidated within 90 days pursuant to the terms of existing put options or similar rights. HP’s management uses free cash flow and gross cash for the purpose of determining the amount of cash available for investment in HP’s businesses, repurchasing stock and other purposes. HP’s management also uses free cash flow and gross cash to evaluate HP’s historical and prospective liquidity. Because gross cash includes liquid assets that are not included in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, HP believes that gross cash provides a helpful assessment of HP’s liquidity. Because free cash flow includes net cash (used in) provided by operating activities adjusted for net investment in leases and net investments in property, plant and equipment. HP believes that free cash flow provides a more accurate and complete assessment of HP’s liquidity and capital resources. Net cash (debt) is defined as gross cash less gross debt after adjusting the effect of unamortized premium/discount on debt issuance, debt issuance costs and gains/losses on interest rate swaps.

Key Growth Areas
Key Growth Areas represent HP’s businesses which management expects to grow at a rate faster than HP’s core business with accretive margins in the longer term. HP’s Key Growth Areas are comprised of:

Workforce Services & Solutions (“WSS”), previously known as Workforce Solutions, now aligns to the newly created WSS organization that is focused on enabling services led product offerings across Printing and Personal Systems. This now excludes hardware revenues for certain transactional deals with a service attach. Peripherals has been integrated into Gaming, and Hybrid systems including all products and solutions acquired from Plantronics, Inc. (“Poly”). Consumer Subscriptions was previously known as Consumer Services.

In fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, HP had disclosed full year Key Growth Areas revenues of “over $11 billion”. The changes to WSS reduced the previously disclosed revenues to approximately $10 billion for the fiscal year 2022.

Material limitations associated with use of non-GAAP financial measures
These non-GAAP financial measures may have limitations as analytical tools, and these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of HP’s results as reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations in relying on these non-GAAP financial measures are:

Other companies may calculate the non-GAAP financial measures differently than HP, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

Compensation for limitations associated with use of non-GAAP financial measures
HP accounts for the limitations on its use of non-GAAP financial measures by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally. HP also provides reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP measure within this news release and in other written materials that include these non-GAAP financial measures, and HP encourages investors to review those reconciliations carefully.

Usefulness of non-GAAP financial measures to investors
HP believes that providing net revenue on a constant currency basis, non-GAAP total operating expense, non-GAAP operating profit, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP tax rate, non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted net EPS, free cash flow, gross cash and net cash (debt) to investors in addition to the related GAAP financial measures provides investors with greater insight to the information used by HP’s management in its financial and operational decision making and allows investors to see HP’s results “through the eyes” of management. HP further believes that providing this information better enables HP’s investors to understand HP’s operating performance and financial condition and to evaluate the efficacy of the methodology and information used by HP’s management to evaluate and measure such performance and financial condition. Disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures also facilitates comparisons of HP’s operating performance with the performance of other companies in HP’s industry that supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures that may be calculated in a similar manner.
