HP Job Cuts: Company Announces 27,000
Written by Chris Crum

HP announced a massive restructuring today, which it says will generate annual savings of $3.0 to $3.5 billion (exiting fiscal year 2014). These savings will be reinvested back into the company, HP says. The restructuring comes at the cost of 27,000 jobs, as the company announced that it expects as many employees to exit the company. That’s 8% of its entire workforce. This is also to take place by the end of fiscal year 2014.

The company says it also expects to save money from non-headcount cost reductions in supply chain optimization, SKU and platform rationalization, go-to-market strategy simplification and business process improvement.

The company will invest in research and development, accelerating service capabilities in cloud security and information analytics, and speed development in security, big data and other areas, to name a few.

“These initiatives build upon our recent organizational realignment, and will further streamline our operations, improve our processes, and remove complexity from our business,” said HP President and CEO Meg Whitman. “While some of these actions are difficult because they involve the loss of jobs, they are necessary to improve execution and to fund the long term health of the company. We are setting HP on a path to extend our global leadership and deliver the greatest value to customers and shareholders.”

The company also released its Q2 earnings report today, including net revenue of $30.7 billion(down 3% year over year).

“We are making progress in our multi-year effort to make HP simpler, more efficient and better for customers, employees, and shareholders,” said Whitman. “This quarter we exceeded our previously provided outlook and are executing against our strategy, but we still have a lot of work to do.”

Here’s the earnings release in its entirety:

The market and competitive positioning for Autonomy remain strong, particularly in cloud offerings.

Asset Management HP generated $2.5 billion in cash flow from operations in the second quarter. Inventory ended the quarter at $7.3 billion, with days of inventory up 2 days year over year to 28 days. Accounts receivable of $16.6 billion was down 4 days year over year to 49 days. Accounts payable ended the quarter at $12.9 billion, down 5 days from the prior-year period to 49 days. HP’s dividend payment of $0.12 per share in the second quarter resulted in cash usage of $251 million. HP also utilized $350 million of cash during the quarter to repurchase approximately 13 million shares of common stock in the open market. HP exited the quarter with $8.7 billion in gross cash.

Outlook In connection with the restructuring efforts discussed in a separate press release issued today (http://www8.hp.com/us/en/hp-news/press-release.html?id=1247078), HP expects to record a pre-tax charge of approximately $1.7 billion in fiscal 2012 that will be included in its GAAP financial results for that period. Of that amount, HP expects to record a pre-tax charge of approximately $1.0 billion in its third fiscal quarter. The cash impact associated with the restructuring efforts is expected to be approximately $400 million in fiscal year 2012. Through fiscal 2014, HP expects to record additional pre-tax charges approximating $1.8 billion that will be included in its GAAP financial results for the applicable periods.

In May 2012, HP committed to a change in its PC branding strategy. As a result, HP has commenced an asset impairment analysis to determine the current value of the Compaq trade name acquired in 2002. Based on the preliminary results of that analysis, HP expects to record an impairment charge of up to approximately $1.2 billion that will be included in its GAAP financial results for its third fiscal quarter. There will be no cash impact associated with the impairment charge.

For the third quarter of fiscal 2012, HP estimates non-GAAP diluted EPS to be in the range of $0.94 to $0.97 and GAAP diluted EPS to be in the range of $0.00 to $0.03.

Third quarter fiscal 2012 non-GAAP diluted EPS estimates exclude after-tax costs of approximately $0.94 per share, related primarily to the amortization and impairment of purchased intangible assets, restructuring charges, and acquisition-related charges.

For the full year fiscal 2012, HP now estimates non-GAAP diluted EPS to be in the range of $4.05 to $4.10 and GAAP diluted EPS to be in the range of $2.25 to $2.30.

Full year fiscal 2012 non-GAAP diluted EPS estimates exclude after-tax costs of approximately $1.80 per share, related primarily to the amortization and impairment of purchased intangible assets, restructuring charges and acquisition-related charges.

Forward-looking statements This news release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If the risks or uncertainties ever materialize or the assumptions prove incorrect, the results of HP may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and assumptions. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including but not limited to any projections of revenue, margins, expenses, earnings, earnings per share, tax provisions, cash flows, benefit obligations, share repurchases, currency exchange rates, the impact of acquisitions or other financial items; any projections of the amount, timing or impact of cost savings, restructuring charges, early retirement programs, workforce reductions or impairment charges; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations, including the execution of restructuring plans and any resulting cost savings or revenue or profitability improvements; any statements concerning the expected development, performance, market share or competitive performance relating to products or services; any statements regarding current or future macroeconomic trends or events and the impact of those trends and events on HP and its financial performance; any statements regarding pending investigations, claims or disputes; any statements of expectation or belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Risks, uncertainties and assumptions include the impact of macroeconomic and geopolitical trends and events; the competitive pressures faced by HP’s businesses; the development and transition of new products and services and the enhancement of existing products and services to meet customer needs and respond to emerging technological trends; the execution and performance of contracts by HP and its suppliers, customers and partners; the protection of HP’s intellectual property assets, including intellectual property licensed from third parties; integration and other risks associated with business combination and investment transactions; the hiring and retention of key employees; assumptions related to pension and other post-retirement costs and retirement programs; the execution, timing and results of restructuring plans, including estimates and assumptions related to the cost and the anticipated benefits of implementing those plans; the resolution of pending investigations, claims and disputes; and other risks that are described in HP’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 and HP’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including HP’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2012. As in prior periods, the financial information set forth in this release, including tax-related items, reflects estimates based on information available at this time. While HP believes these estimates to be meaningful, these amounts could differ materially from actual reported amounts in HP’s Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2012. In particular, determining HP’s actual tax balances and provisions as of April 30, 2012 requires extensive internal and external review of tax data (including consolidating and reviewing the tax provisions of numerous domestic and foreign entities), which is being completed in the ordinary course of preparing HP’s Form 10-Q. HP assumes no obligation and does not intend to update these forward-looking statements.

(a) Certain fiscal 2012 organizational reclassifications have been reflected
    retroactively to provide improved visibility and comparability. For each
    of the quarters in fiscal year 2011, the reclassifications resulted in
    the transfer of revenue among the Services, Imaging and Printing Group,
    Enterprise Servers, Storage and Networking, Software and Corporate
    Investments financial reporting segments. Reclassifications between
    segments included the transfer of Indigo Scitex support and the LaserJet
    and enterprise solutions trade support businesses from Services to the
    Imaging and Printing Group, the transfer of the business intelligence
    services business from Corporate Investments to Services, the transfer
    of the information management services business from Software to
    Services, and the transfer of the TippingPoint business from Enterprise
    Servers, Storage and Networking to Software. In addition, revenue was
    transferred among the business units within the Services segment. There
    was no impact on the previously reported financial results for the
    Personal Systems Group and HP Financial Services segments.

(b) The former Application Services, Business Process Outsourcing and Other
    Services business units were consolidated into a new Application and
    Business Services business unit in fiscal 2012.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement HP’s consolidated condensed financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, HP provides non-GAAP net revenue, non-GAAP operating profit, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, gross cash and free cash flow. HP also provides forecasts of non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP net revenue is net revenue. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP operating profit is earnings from operations. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP operating margin is operating margin. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP net earnings is net earnings. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is diluted net earnings per share. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to gross cash is cash and cash equivalents. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to free cash flow is cash flow from operations. Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP information are included in the tables above.

Use and Economic Substance of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Used by HP

Non-GAAP net revenue reflects the elimination of contra revenue associated with sales incentive programs implemented in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011 in connection with the wind down of HP’s webOS device business, net of webOS device revenue for the period. Non-GAAP operating profit and non-GAAP operating margin are defined to exclude the effects of any restructuring charges, charges relating to the impairment of goodwill and purchased intangible assets, charges relating to the amortization of purchased intangible assets, and acquisition-related charges recorded during the relevant period. Non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share consist of net earnings or diluted net earnings per share excluding those same charges. In addition, non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share are adjusted by the amount of additional taxes or tax benefit 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 those items mentioned above from these non-GAAP financial measures allows HP management to better understand HP’s consolidated financial performance in relationship to the operating results of HP’s segments, as 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:

--  In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, HP announced that it would wind
    down its webOS device business. Non-GAAP net revenue reported in the
    fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 reflects the elimination of contra
    revenue associated with sales incentive programs implemented in
    connection with the wind down of that business, net of webOS device
    revenue for the period. Because the winding down of HP businesses is
    inconsistent in amount and frequency, HP believes that eliminating
    these amounts for purposes of calculating non-GAAP net revenue
    facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of HP's current operating
    performance and comparisons to HP's past and future operating
    performance.
--  Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price of acquired companies
    over the estimated fair value of the tangible and intangible assets
    acquired and liabilities assumed. Purchased intangible assets consist
    primarily of customer contracts, customer lists, distribution
    agreements, technology patents, and products, trademarks and trade
    names purchased in connection with acquisitions. In the fourth quarter
    of fiscal 2011, HP recorded impairment charges to goodwill and certain
    intangible assets associated with the acquisition of Palm Inc. The
    charges relate to HP's decision to wind-down the webOS device
    business. Impairment charges are inconsistent in amount and frequency.
    HP excludes these charges for purposes of calculating these non-GAAP
    measures to facilitate a more meaningful evaluation of HP's current
    operating performance and comparisons to HP's past and future
    operating performance.
--  HP incurs charges relating to the amortization of purchased
    intangibles. HP also incurs charges relating to the amortization of
    amounts assigned to intangible assets to be used in research and
    development projects. All of those charges are included in HP's GAAP
    presentation of earnings from operations, operating margin, net
    earnings and net earnings per share. Such charges are inconsistent in
    amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and
    magnitude of HP's acquisitions. Consequently, HP excludes these
    charges for purposes of calculating these non-GAAP measures to
    facilitate a more meaningful evaluation of HP's current operating
    performance and comparisons to HP's past and future operating
    performance.
--  Restructuring charges consist of costs associated with a formal
    restructuring plan and are primarily related to (i) employee
    termination costs and benefits, and (ii) costs to vacate duplicative
    facilities. HP excludes these restructuring costs (and any reversals
    of charges recorded in prior periods) for purposes of calculating
    these non-GAAP measures because it believes that these historical
    costs do not reflect expected future operating expenses and do not
    contribute to a meaningful evaluation of HP's current operating
    performance or comparisons to HP's past and future operating
    performance.
--  HP incurs costs related to its acquisitions, most of which are treated
    as non-capitalized expenses. Because non-capitalized,
    acquisition-related expenses are inconsistent in amount and frequency
    and are significantly impacted by the timing and nature of HP's
    acquisitions, HP believes that eliminating the non-capitalized
    expenses for purposes of calculating these non-GAAP measures
    facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of HP's current operating
    performance and comparisons to HP's past and future operating
    performance.

Gross cash is a non-GAAP measure that is defined as cash and cash equivalents 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. Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations less net capital expenditures. HP’s management uses gross cash and free cash flow for the purpose of determining the amount of cash available for investment in HP’s businesses, funding strategic acquisitions, repurchasing stock and other purposes. HP’s management also uses gross cash and free cash flow for the purposes of evaluating HP’s historical and prospective liquidity, as well as to further its own understanding of HP’s segment operating results. Because gross cash includes liquid assets that are not included in GAAP cash and cash equivalents, HP believes that gross cash provides a more accurate and complete assessment of HP’s liquidity and segment operating results. Because free cash flow includes the effect of capital expenditures that are not reflected in GAAP cash flow from operations, HP believes that free cash flow provides a more accurate and complete assessment of HP’s liquidity and capital resources.

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:

--  Items such as amortization of purchased intangible assets, though not
    directly affecting HP's cash position, represent the loss in value of
    intangible assets over time. The expense associated with this loss in
    value is not included in non-GAAP operating profit, non-GAAP operating
    margin, non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share
    and therefore does not reflect the full economic effect of the loss in
    value of those intangible assets.
--  Items such as restructuring charges that are excluded from non-GAAP
    operating profit, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net earnings and
    non-GAAP diluted earnings per share can have a material impact on cash
    flows and earnings per share.
--  HP may not be able to liquidate immediately the long-term investments
    included in gross cash, which may limit the usefulness of gross cash
    as a liquidity measure.
--  Other companies may calculate non-GAAP net revenue, non-GAAP operating
    profit, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP
    diluted earnings per share, gross cash and free cash flow differently
    than HP does, limiting the usefulness of those measures for
    comparative purposes.

Compensation for Limitations Associated with Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures HP compensates for the limitations on its use of non-GAAP net revenue, non-GAAP operating profit, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, gross cash and free cash flow by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally. HP also provides robust and detailed reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP measure within this press release and in other written materials that include these non-GAAP financial measures, and HP encourages investors to review carefully those reconciliations.

Usefulness of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Investors HP believes that providing non-GAAP net revenue, non-GAAP operating profit, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, gross cash and free cash flow to investors in addition to the related GAAP measures provides investors with greater transparency 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 to evaluate the efficacy of the methodology and information used by management to evaluate and measure such performance. 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 are calculated in a similar manner.
