Hewlett Packard Enterprise enables customers to accelerate business outcomes by driving new business models, creating new customer and employee experiences, and increasing operational efficiency today and into the future. Hewlett Packard Enterprise's customers range from small- and medium-sized businesses to large global enterprises and governmental entities.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with United States ("U.S.") Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries and affiliates in which the Company has a controlling financial interest or is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and accounts within the consolidated businesses of the Company have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Hewlett Packard Enterprise contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of July 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, its results of operations for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, its cash flows for the nine months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, and its statements of stockholders' equity for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2022 and the cash flows for the nine months ended July 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 10, 2021.

Significant Accounting Policies

As of November 1, 2021, the Company increased its expected useful life of new servers and storage equipment assets from four years to five years. Concurrently, the Company completed an assessment of its existing server and storage equipment assets and extended the remaining useful lives of such assets by one year. The effects of this change in estimate reduced depreciation expense and increased net income and basic and diluted earnings per share by immaterial amounts for the nine months ended July 31, 2022, and is expected to have an immaterial impact on net income and basic and diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2022.

There have been no other changes to the Company's significant accounting policies described in Part II, Item 8, Note 1, "Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies", of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021.

Subsequent Event

On August 15, 2022, the Company redeemed $1.35 billion of 4.40% Senior Notes with an original maturity date of October 15, 2022, utilizing the par call option on the debt, with no redemption penalties.

Russia/Ukraine Conflict

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the related sanctions imposed by the U.S., European Union (E.U.) and other countries in response have negatively impacted the Company's operations in both countries and increased economic and political uncertainty across the world. In response to the sanctions imposed, in February 2022, the Company suspended all new sales and shipments to Russia and Belarus and implemented compliance measures to address the continuously changing regulatory landscape. Based on a further assessment of business risks and needs, in June 2022, the Company determined that it is no longer tenable to maintain its operations in Russia and Belarus and is proceeding with an orderly, managed exit of its remaining business in these countries.

During the three months ended July 31, 2022, the Company recorded total pre-tax charges of $36 million primarily related to employee severance and abandoned assets, $6 million of which was included in Cost of services and $30 million in Disaster charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. The Company recorded $16 million of net income tax charges, primarily as a result of recording a valuation allowance on deferred taxes, in the Provision for taxes in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings in connection with these charges. During the nine months ended July 31, 2022, the Company recorded total pre-tax charges of $162 million primarily related to expected credit losses of financing and trade receivables, employee severance and abandoned assets, $99 million of which was included in Financing cost, $12 million in Cost of services and $51 million in Disaster charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The Company recorded $9 million of net income tax benefit in the Provision for taxes in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings related to these charges.

The Company continues to monitor the social, political, regulatory and economic environment in Russia and Ukraine, and will consider further actions as appropriate.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance that requires lessors to classify and account for a lease with variable lease payments that do not depend on a reference index or a rate as an operating lease, if the lease would have been classified as a sales-type lease or a direct financing lease and the lessor would have otherwise recognized a day-one loss. The Company adopted the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 on a prospective basis, and there was no material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued guidance to clarify certain interactions between the guidance to account for equity securities, the guidance to account for investments under the equity method of accounting, and the guidance to account for derivatives and hedging. The new guidance clarifies the application of measurement alternatives and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options to acquire investments. The Company adopted the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, and there was no material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Enacted Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2022, the FASB issued guidance related to troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) and vintage disclosures for financing receivables. The amendments eliminate current recognition and measurement guidance for TDRs by creditors while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The amendments also require disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. The Company is required to adopt the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, though early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 3: Transformation Programs

Transformation programs are comprised of the cost optimization and prioritization plan and the HPE Next initiative. During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company launched the cost optimization and prioritization plan, which focuses on realigning the workforce to areas of growth, a new hybrid workforce model called Edge-to-Office, real estate strategies, and simplifying and evolving our product portfolio strategy. The implementation period of the cost optimization and prioritization plan is through fiscal 2023. During the remaining implementation period, the Company expects to incur transformation costs predominantly related to labor restructuring, non-labor restructuring, IT investments, design and execution charges and real estate initiatives.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company launched an initiative called HPE Next to put in place a purpose-built company designed to compete and win in the markets where it participates. Through this program, the Company is simplifying the operating model, and streamlining our offerings, business processes and business systems to improve our execution. The implementation period of the HPE Next initiative is through fiscal 2023. During the remaining implementation period, the Company expects to incur predominantly IT infrastructure costs for streamlining, upgrading, and simplifying back-end operations, and real estate initiatives. These costs are expected to be partially offset by gains from real estate sales.

Cost Optimization and Prioritization Plan

The components of the expense relating to the cost optimization and prioritization plan were as follows:

			For the three months ended July 31,												For the nine months ended July 31,

Note 5: Taxes on Earnings

Provision for Taxes

For the three months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded income tax expense of $55 million and $14 million, respectively, which reflects an effective tax rate of 11.9% and 3.4%, respectively. For the nine months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded income tax expense of $61 million and $25 million, respectively, which reflects an effective tax rate of 5.0% and 2.8%, respectively. The effective tax rate generally differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due to favorable tax rates associated with certain earnings from the Company’s operations in lower tax jurisdictions throughout the world but are also impacted by discrete tax adjustments during each fiscal period.

For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2022, the Company recorded $71 million and $192 million of net income tax benefits, respectively, related to various items discrete to the period. For the three months ended July 31, 2022, this amount primarily included $30 million of income tax benefits related to tax liabilities for which the Company shared joint and several liability with HP Inc. and for which the Company was indemnified by HP Inc., $18 million of income tax benefits related to transformation costs, acquisition, disposition and other related charges, $12 million of income tax benefits as a result of the fiscal 2021 U.S. tax return filing primarily from the decrease in Global Intangible Low Taxed Income ("GILTI"), and $6 million of net income tax benefits related to the settlement of foreign tax audit matters, partially offset by $16 million of net income tax charges related to the Company's exit from its Russia business, primarily as a result of recording a valuation allowance on deferred taxes. For the nine months ended July 31, 2022, this amount primarily included $64 million of income tax benefits related to transformation costs, and acquisition, disposition and other related charges, $43 million of net income tax benefits related to the settlement of U.S. tax audit matters, $30 million of income tax benefits related to tax liabilities for which the Company shared joint and several liability with HP Inc. and for which the Company was indemnified by HP Inc., $12 million of net income tax benefits related to the settlement of foreign tax audit matters, $12 million of income tax benefits as a result of the fiscal 2021 U.S. tax return filing primarily from the decrease in GILTI, and $9 million of net income tax benefits on pre-tax charges incurred related to the Russia/Ukraine conflict.

For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2021, the Company recorded $99 million and $222 million of net income tax benefits, respectively, related to various items discrete to the period. For the three months ended July 31, 2021, this amount primarily included $88 million of deferred income tax benefits related to tax law changes and $31 million of income tax benefits related to transformation costs, and acquisition, disposition and other related charges, partially offset by income tax charges related to the recovery of social contribution taxes in Brazil of $28 million. For the nine months ended July 31, 2021, this amount primarily included $138 million of income tax benefits related to transformation costs, and acquisition, disposition and other related charges, $88 million of deferred income tax benefits related to tax law changes, and $30 million of income tax benefits related to the change in tax liabilities, primarily those for which the Company shared joint and several liability with HP

Inc. and for which the Company was indemnified by HP Inc., partially offset by income tax charges related to the recovery of social contribution taxes in Brazil of $28 million.

Uncertain Tax Positions

As of July 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $600 million and $2.1 billion, respectively, of which up to $350 million and $688 million, respectively, would affect the Company's effective tax rate if realized as of their respective periods. During the first quarter of the current year, the Company effectively settled with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") for fiscal 2016, primarily contributing to the reduction in the Company's unrecognized tax benefits of $1.5 billion, which was predominantly related to the timing of intercompany royalty revenue recognition which does not affect the Company’s effective tax rate.

For tax liabilities pertaining to unrecognized tax benefits, the Company recognizes interest income from favorable settlements and interest expense and penalties in Provision for taxes in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The Company recognized interest income of $4 million and interest expense of $5 million for the three months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and interest income of $41 million and interest expense of $17 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in interest income in the current year resulted from the release of reserves as a result of the effective settlement of the IRS audit for fiscal 2016 during the first fiscal quarter. As of July 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, the Company had accrued $95 million and $136 million, respectively, for interest and penalties in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company engages in continuous discussion and negotiation with tax authorities regarding tax matters in various jurisdictions. The Company does not expect complete resolution of any IRS audit cycle within the next 12 months. However, it is reasonably possible that certain federal, foreign, and state tax issues may be concluded in the next 12 months, including issues involving resolution of certain intercompany transactions, and other matters. Accordingly, the Company believes it is reasonably possible that its existing unrecognized tax benefits may be reduced by an amount up to $17 million within the next 12 months.

Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities

Deferred tax assets and liabilities included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows:

			As of
			July 31, 2022						October 31, 2021
			In millions
Deferred tax assets			$	1,990					$	2,023

During the three months ended July 31, 2022 and the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, the Company sold $1 billion and $4.2 billion of trade receivables, respectively. The Company recorded an obligation of $123 million and $65 million within Notes payable and short-term borrowings in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of July 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021 respectively, related to the trade receivables sold and collected from the third-party for which the revenue recognition was deferred.

Contract Liabilities

Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue. The aggregate balance of current and non-current deferred revenue was $6.4 billion as of July 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021. During the nine months ended July 31, 2022, approximately $2.6 billion of the deferred revenue as of October 31, 2021 was recognized as revenue.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contract work that has not yet been performed and does not include contracts where the customer is not committed. Remaining performance obligations estimates are subject to change and are affected by several factors, including contract terminations, changes in the scope of contracts, adjustments for revenue that has not materialized and adjustments for currency.

Remaining performance obligations consist of deferred revenue. As of July 31, 2022, the aggregate amount of remaining performance obligations was $6.4 billion. The Company expects to recognize approximately 21% of this amount as revenue over the remainder of the fiscal year.

Costs to Obtain a Contract

As of July 31, 2022, the current and non-current portions of the capitalized costs to obtain a contract were $72 million and $115 million, respectively. As of October 31, 2021, the current and non-current portions of the capitalized costs to obtain a contract were $64 million and $95 million, respectively. The current and non-current portions of the capitalized costs to obtain a contract were included in Other current assets, and Long-term financing receivables and other assets, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2022, the Company amortized $21 million and $62 million respectively, of capitalized costs to obtain a contract. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2021 the Company amortized $16 million and $48 million respectively, of capitalized costs to obtain a contract. The amortized capitalized costs to obtain a contract are included in Selling, general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings.

Note 7: Accounting for Leases as a Lessor

Financing receivables represent sales-type and direct-financing leases of the Company and third-party products. These receivables typically have terms ranging from two to five years and are usually collateralized by a security interest in the underlying assets. Financing receivables also include billed receivables from operating leases. The allowance for credit losses represents future expected credit losses over the life of the receivables based on past experience, current information and forward-looking economic considerations. The components of financing receivables were as follows:

Sale of Financing Receivables

The Company enters into arrangements to transfer the contractual payments due under certain financing receivables to third party financial institutions. During the nine months ended July 31, 2022 and the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, the Company sold $31 million and $142 million of financing receivables, respectively.

Credit Quality Indicators

Due to the homogeneous nature of its leasing transactions, the Company manages its financing receivables on an aggregate basis when assessing and monitoring credit risk. Credit risk is generally diversified due to the large number of entities comprising the Company's customer base and their dispersion across many different industries and geographic regions. The Company evaluates the credit quality of an obligor at lease inception and monitors that credit quality over the term of a transaction. The Company assigns risk ratings to each lease based on the creditworthiness of the obligor and other variables that augment or mitigate the inherent credit risk of a particular transaction and periodically updates the risk ratings when there is a change in the underlying credit quality. Such variables include the underlying value and liquidity of the collateral, the essential use of the equipment, the term of the lease, and the inclusion of credit enhancements, such as guarantees, letters of credit or security deposits.

Accounts rated low risk typically have the equivalent of a Standard & Poor's rating of BBB– or higher, while accounts rated moderate risk generally have the equivalent of BB+ or lower. The Company classifies accounts as high risk when it considers the financing receivable to be impaired or when management believes there is a significant near-term risk of impairment. The credit quality indicators do not reflect any mitigation actions taken to transfer credit risk to third parties.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses for financing receivables as of July 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021 and the respective changes during the nine and twelve months then ended were as follows.

Variable Interest Entities

The Company has issued asset-backed debt securities under a fixed-term securitization program to private investors. The asset-backed debt securities are collateralized by the U.S. fixed-term financing receivables and leased equipment in the offering, which is held by a Special Purpose Entity (“SPE”). The SPE meets the definition of a Variable Interest Entity ("VIE") and is consolidated, along with the associated debt, into the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The SPE is a bankruptcy-remote legal entity with separate assets and liabilities. The purpose of the SPE is to facilitate the funding of customer receivables and leased equipment in the capital markets.

The Company’s risk of loss related to securitized receivables and leased equipment is limited to the amount by which the Company’s right to receive collections for assets securitized exceeds the amount required to pay interest, principal, and fees and expenses related to the asset-backed securities.

The following table presents the assets and liabilities held by the consolidated VIE as of July 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, which are included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The assets in the table below include those that can be used to settle the obligations of the VIE. Additionally, general creditors do not have recourse to the assets of the VIE.

Financing receivables transferred via securitization through the SPE were $1.2 billion for the nine months ended July 31, 2022 and $1.1 billion for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021. Leased equipment transferred via securitization through the SPE was $761 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2022 and $720 million for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021.

Note 8: Goodwill

Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. As of July 31, 2022, the Company's reporting units are consistent with the reportable segments identified in Note 2, with the exception of Corporate Investments and Other, which contains three reporting units: A & PS, CMS, and Software. The following table represents the carrying value of goodwill, by reportable segment as of October 31, 2021 and July 31, 2022. There has been no change to the accumulated impairment loss from the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021.

			Compute						HPC & AI						Storage						Intelligent Edge						Financial Services						Corporate Investments and Other						Total
			In millions
Balance at October 31, 2021			$	7,532					$	3,702					$	4,160					$	2,555					$	144					$	213					$	18,306

As of the annual test date in fiscal 2021, the HPC & AI reporting unit had a goodwill of $3.7 billion and an excess of fair value over carrying value of net assets of 8%. The HPC & AI reporting unit relies significantly on the income approach which estimates the fair value based on the present value of future cash flows. The HPC & AI business is facing challenges reflected in the results for the nine months ended July 31, 2022. The challenges are primarily related to supply chain constraints and other operational challenges impacting the Company’s ability to achieve certain customer acceptance milestones required for revenue recognition and resulting cost increases associated with fulfilling contracts over longer than originally anticipated timelines. The Company currently believes these challenges will be successfully addressed when supply chain constraints ease. Our annual goodwill impairment test is performed during the fourth quarter in conjunction with completion of our annual long-term business plan. If the global macroeconomic or geopolitical conditions worsen, projected revenue growth rates or operating margins decline, weighted average cost of capital increases, or if the Company has significant or sustained decline in its stock price, it is possible its estimates about the HPC & AI reporting unit's ability to successfully address the current challenges may change, which could result in the carrying value of the HPC & AI reporting unit exceeding its estimated fair value and a potentially material impairment charge.

As of the annual test date in fiscal 2021, the Software reporting unit had goodwill of $213 million and an excess of fair value over carrying value of net assets of 62%. The Software reporting unit relies significantly on the market approach, which is impacted by market volatility. Since our last annual test, the equity market valuations impacting this test have decreased. If global macroeconomic or geopolitical conditions worsen and cause a further significant equity market downturn, it is possible we may determine the carrying value of the Software reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. Such a determination could result in a potentially material impairment charge.

Note 9: 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.

The Company 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.

Other Fair Value Disclosures

Short-Term and Long-Term Debt: As of July 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, the estimated fair value of the Company's short-term and long-term debt was $14.0 billion and $14.6 billion, respectively. As of July 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, the carrying value of the Company's short-term and long-term debt was $13.9 billion and $13.4 billion, respectively. If measured at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, short-term and long-term debt would be classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Equity investments without readily determinable fair value: Equity Investments are recorded at cost and measured at fair value, when they are deemed to be impaired or when there is an adjustment from observable price changes. The Company recognized a gain of $25 million in Interest and other, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings, for the nine months ended July 31, 2021. If measured at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, these would generally be classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Other financial instruments, including accounts receivable and accounts payable, are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value due to their short-term nature.

Non-Financial Assets: The Company's non-financial assets, such as intangible assets, goodwill, and property, plant and equipment, are recorded at cost. The Company records right-of-use ("ROU") assets based on the lease liability, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, and the lessee's initial direct costs. Fair value adjustments are made to these non-financial assets in the period an impairment charge is recognized.

Offsetting of Derivative Instruments

The Company recognizes all derivative instruments on a gross basis in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company's derivative instruments are subject to master netting arrangements and collateral security arrangements. The Company does not offset the fair value of its derivative instruments against the fair value of cash collateral posted under collateral security agreements. The information related to the potential effect of the Company's use of the master netting agreements and collateral security agreements were as follows:

Note 14: Litigation and Contingencies

Hewlett Packard Enterprise is involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings including those consisting of intellectual property, commercial, securities, employment, employee benefits, and environmental matters, which arise in the ordinary course of business. In addition, as part of the Separation and Distribution Agreement (the "Separation and Distribution Agreement") entered into in connection with Hewlett Packard Enterprise's spin-off from HP Inc. (formerly known as "Hewlett-Packard Company") (the "Separation"), Hewlett Packard Enterprise and HP Inc. agreed to cooperate with each other in managing certain existing litigation related to both parties' businesses. The Separation and Distribution Agreement included provisions that allocate liability and financial responsibility for pending litigation involving the parties, as well as provide for cross-indemnification of the parties against liabilities to one party arising out of liabilities allocated to the other party. The Separation and Distribution Agreement also included provisions that assign to the parties responsibility for managing pending and future litigation related to the general corporate matters of HP Inc. arising prior to the Separation. Hewlett Packard Enterprise records a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both the probability of having incurred a liability and the estimated amount of the liability. Hewlett Packard Enterprise reviews these matters at least quarterly and adjusts these liabilities to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other updated information and events pertaining to a particular matter. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. However, Hewlett Packard Enterprise believes it has valid defenses with respect to legal matters pending against us. 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. Hewlett Packard Enterprise believes it has recorded adequate provisions for any such matters and, as of July 31, 2022, it was not reasonably possible that a material loss had been incurred in connection with such matters in excess of the amounts recognized in its financial statements.

Litigation, Proceedings and Investigations

Ross and Rogus v. Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company. On November 8, 2018, a putative class action complaint was filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara alleging that HPE pays its California-based female employees “systemically lower compensation” than HPE pays male employees performing substantially similar work. The complaint alleges various California state law claims, including California’s Equal Pay Act, Fair Employment and Housing Act, and Unfair Competition Law, and seeks certification of a California-only class of female employees employed in certain “Covered Positions.” The complaint seeks damages, statutory and civil penalties, attorneys’ fees and costs. On April 2, 2019, HPE filed a demurrer to all causes of action and an alternative motion to strike portions of the complaint. On July 2, 2019, the court denied HPE’s demurrer as to the claims of the putative class and granted HPE’s demurrer as to the claims of the individual plaintiffs.

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 Ltd ("HP India"), a subsidiary of HP Inc., seven HP India employees and one former HP India employee alleging that HP India underpaid customs duties while importing products and spare parts into India and seeking to recover an aggregate of approximately $370 million, plus penalties. 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. 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 to avoid certain penalties.

HP India filed appeals of the Commissioner's orders before 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 were scheduled to reconvene on April 6, 2015, and again on November 3, 2015, April 11, 2016, and January 15, 2019, but were canceled at the request of the Customs Tribunal. The hearing was again rescheduled for January 20, 2021 but was postponed and has not yet been rescheduled.

ECT Proceedings. In January 2011, the postal service of Brazil, Empresa Brasileira de Correios e Telégrafos ("ECT"), notified a former subsidiary of HP Inc. in Brazil ("HP Brazil") that it had initiated administrative proceedings to consider whether to suspend HP Brazil's right to bid and contract with ECT related to alleged improprieties in the bidding and contracting processes whereby employees of HP Brazil and employees of several other companies allegedly coordinated their bids and fixed results for three ECT contracts in 2007 and 2008. In late July 2011, ECT notified HP Brazil it had decided to apply the penalties against HP Brazil and suspend HP Brazil's right to bid and contract with ECT for five years, based upon the evidence before it. In August 2011, HP Brazil appealed ECT's decision. In April 2013, ECT rejected HP Brazil's appeal, and the administrative proceedings were closed with the penalties against HP Brazil remaining in place. In parallel, in September 2011, HP Brazil filed a civil action against ECT seeking to have ECT's decision revoked. HP Brazil also requested an injunction suspending the application of the penalties until a final ruling on the merits of the case. The court of first instance has not issued a decision on the merits of the case, but it has denied HP Brazil's request for injunctive relief. HP Brazil appealed the denial of its request for injunctive relief to the intermediate appellate court, which issued a preliminary ruling denying the request for injunctive relief but reducing the length of the sanctions from five to two years. HP Brazil appealed that decision and, in December 2011, obtained a ruling staying enforcement of ECT's sanctions until a final ruling on the merits of the case. HP Brazil expects any appeal of the decision on the merits to last several years.

Forsyth, et al. vs. HP Inc. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise. This purported class and collective action was filed on August 18, 2016 and an amended complaint was filed on December 19, 2016 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, against HP Inc. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (collectively, “Defendants”) alleging 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. Plaintiffs seek to certify a nationwide collective action under the ADEA comprised of all individuals age 40 years and older who had their employment terminated by an HP entity pursuant to a work force reduction ("WFR") plan on or after December 9, 2014 for individuals terminated in deferral states and on or after April 8, 2015 in non-deferral states. Plaintiffs also seek to certify a Rule 23 class under California law comprised of all persons 40 years or older employed by Defendants in the state of California and terminated pursuant to a WFR plan on or after August 18, 2012. Following the filing of Plaintiffs' Fourth Amended Complaint, Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Preliminary Class Certification on

December 30, 2020. On April 14, 2021, Plaintiffs’ Motion for Conditional Class Certification was granted. The conditionally certified collective action consists of all individuals who had their employment terminated by Defendants pursuant to a WFR Plan on or after November 1, 2015, and who were 40 years or older at the time of such termination. The collective action excludes all individuals who signed a Waiver and General Release Agreement or an Agreement to Arbitrate Claims. The Court-approved notice was issued to potential class members and the opt-in period is now closed.

Hewlett-Packard Company v. Oracle (Itanium). On June 15, 2011, HP Inc. filed suit against Oracle in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara in connection with Oracle's March 2011 announcement that it was discontinuing software support for HP Inc.’s Itanium-based line of mission critical servers. HP Inc. 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. Trial was bifurcated into two phases. HP Inc. 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 Inc.'s Itanium-based servers for as long as HP Inc. decided to sell such servers. Phase 2 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 Inc.’s damages claim infringed on Oracle’s First Amendment rights. On August 27, 2015, the California Court of Appeal rejected Oracle’s appeal. The matter was remanded to the trial court for Phase 2 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 Inc., awarding HP Inc. approximately $3 billion in damages: $1.7 billion for past lost profits and $1.3 billion for future lost profits. On October 20, 2016, the court entered judgment for this amount with interest accruing until the judgment is paid. Oracle’s motion for a 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 Inc. filed a notice of cross-appeal challenging the trial court’s denial of prejudgment interest. On May 16, 2019, HP Inc. filed its application to renew the judgment. As of May 16, 2019, the renewed judgment is approximately $3.8 billion. Daily interest on the renewed judgment is now accruing at $1 million and will be recorded upon receipt. On June 14, 2021, the California Court of Appeal affirmed the judgment of the trial court. Oracle filed a Petition for Rehearing with the California Court of Appeal, which was denied on July 8, 2021. On July 26, 2021, Oracle filed a Petition for Review with the California Supreme Court. The California Supreme Court denied the petition on September 29, 2021, and the California Court of Appeal issued the remittitur on September 30, 2021. On October 12, 2021, Oracle paid $4.66 billion, reflecting all amounts owed on the judgment plus accrued interest. Pursuant to the terms of the Separation and Distribution Agreement between HP Inc. and HPE, this amount was split evenly between the parties following the reimbursement of approximately $48 million in pre-separation legal costs incurred by HPE in prosecution of the litigation. In total, HPE has received payment of approximately $2.35 billion, which was recognized as a gain from litigation judgment during the year ended October 31, 2021. On October 27, 2021, HP Inc. filed an acknowledgement of full satisfaction of judgment. On January 27, 2022, Oracle filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari asking the United States Supreme Court to grant review. On May 16, 2022, the United States Supreme Court denied Oracle's Petition. The matter is now closed.

Oracle America, Inc., et al. v. Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (Terix copyright matter). On March 22, 2016, Oracle filed a complaint against HPE in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging copyright infringement, interference with contract, intentional interference with prospective economic relations, and unfair competition. Oracle’s claims arise out of HPE’s prior use of a third-party maintenance provider named Terix Computer Company, Inc. (“Terix”). Oracle contends that in connection with HPE’s use of Terix as a subcontractor for certain customers of HPE’s multivendor support business, Oracle’s copyrights were infringed, and HPE is liable for vicarious and contributory infringement and related claims. The lawsuit against HPE follows a prior lawsuit brought by Oracle against Terix in 2013 relating to Terix’s alleged unauthorized provision of Solaris patches to customers on Oracle hardware. On January 29, 2019, the court granted HPE’s Motion for Summary Judgment as to all of Oracle’s claims. On February 20, 2019, the court entered judgment in favor of HPE, dismissing Oracle’s claims in their entirety. Oracle appealed the trial court’s ruling to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. On August 20, 2020, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued its ruling, affirming in part and reversing in part the trial court’s decision granting summary judgment in favor of HPE. On October 6, 2020, the matter was remanded to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. On June 4, 2021, the Court issued an order denying HPE’s motion for summary judgment and granting-in-part Oracle’s motion for partial summary judgment as to a certain of HPE’s defenses. Trial began on May 23, 2022. On June 15, 2022, the jury returned its verdict, awarding $30 million in compensatory damages to Oracle and rejecting Oracle’s request for punitive damages. Judgment has not yet been entered by the Court as the parties are engaged in post-verdict motion practice on multiple issues, including HPE’s Motion for Judgment as a Matter of Law and Oracle’s request for an award of prejudgment interest and attorneys’ fees.

Q3 Networking Litigation. On September 21 and September 22, 2020, Q3 Networking LLC filed complaints against HPE, Aruba Networks, Commscope and Netgear in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware and the United States International Trade Commission (“ITC”). Both complaints allege infringement of four patents, and the ITC complaint defines the “accused products” as “routers, access points, controllers, network management servers, other networking products, and hardware and software components thereof.” The ITC action was instituted on October 23, 2020. The District of Delaware action has been stayed pending resolution of the ITC action. The evidentiary hearing before the ITC has been completed. On December 7, 2021, the Administrative Law Judge issued his initial determination finding no violation of section 337 of the Tariff Act. On May 3, 2022, the ITC issued its Notice of Final Determination, affirming the initial determination and terminating the investigation. On June 18, 2022, Q3 Networking filed a petition for review of the ITC ruling with the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

Shared Litigation with HP Inc., DXC and Micro Focus

As part of the Separation and Distribution Agreements between Hewlett Packard Enterprise and HP Inc., Hewlett Packard Enterprise and DXC, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Seattle SpinCo, the parties to each agreement agreed to cooperate with each other in managing certain existing litigation related to both parties' businesses. The Separation and Distribution Agreements also included provisions that assign to the parties responsibility for managing pending and future litigation related to the general corporate matters of HP Inc. (in the case of the separation of Hewlett Packard Enterprise from HP Inc.) or of Hewlett Packard Enterprise (in the case of the separation of DXC from Hewlett Packard Enterprise and the separation of Seattle SpinCo from Hewlett Packard Enterprise), in each case arising prior to the applicable separation.

Environmental

The Company's operations and products are or may in the future become subject to various federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations concerning environmental protection, including laws addressing the discharge of pollutants into the air and water, the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes, the clean-up of contaminated sites, the substances and materials used in the Company's products, the energy consumption of products, services and operations and the operational or financial responsibility for recycling, treatment and disposal of those products. This includes legislation that makes producers of electrical goods, including servers and networking equipment, financially responsible for specified collection, recycling, treatment and disposal of past and future covered products (sometimes referred to as "product take-back legislation"). The Company 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, including those related to addressing climate change and other environmental, social, and governance-related issues, or if its products become non-compliant with such environmental laws. The Company's potential exposure includes impacts on revenue, 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.

In particular, the Company may become a 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 other federal, state or foreign laws and regulations addressing the clean-up of contaminated sites, and may become a party to, or otherwise involved in, proceedings brought by private parties for contribution towards clean-up costs. The Company is also contractually obligated to make financial contributions to address actions related to certain environmental liabilities, both ongoing and arising in the future, pursuant to its Separation and Distribution Agreement with HP Inc.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

TRENDS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The overall demand environment continues to improve but remains impacted by industry-wide supply constraints which have contributed to a challenging supply chain environment, even as the impact of recent pandemic-related lockdowns in China alleviated somewhat in the current quarter, which along with inflationary pressures are driving up material and logistic costs. The challenging supply chain environment has moderated our revenue growth, elevated costs, and delayed certain unit shipments, resulting in a higher level of backlog and related inventory at the end of the period. We expect this trend to continue in the near term.

Russia/Ukraine Conflict

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the related sanctions imposed by the U.S., European Union (E.U.), and other countries in response have negatively impacted our operations in both countries and increased economic and political uncertainty across the world. In response to the sanctions imposed, in February 2022, we suspended all new sales and shipments to Russia and Belarus and implemented compliance measures to address the continuously changing regulatory landscape. Based on a further assessment of business risks and needs, in June 2022, we determined that it is no longer tenable to maintain operations in Russia and Belarus and are proceeding with an orderly, managed exit of our remaining business in these countries.

In fiscal 2021, our operations in Russia and Belarus accounted for approximately 2% of our total net revenues. During the three months ended July 31, 2022, we recorded total pre-tax charges of $36 million primarily related to employee severance and abandoned assets, $6 million of which was included in Cost of services and $30 million in Disaster charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. We also recorded $16 million of net income tax charges, primarily as a result of recording a valuation allowance on deferred taxes, in the Provision for taxes in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings in connection with these charges. During the nine months ended July 31, 2022, we recorded total pre-tax charges of $162 million primarily related to expected credit losses of financing and trade receivables, employee severance and abandoned assets, $99 million of which was included in Financing cost, $12 million in Cost of services and $51 million in Disaster charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. We recorded $9 million of net income tax benefit in the Provision for taxes in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings related to these charges.

We will continue monitoring the social, political, regulatory, and economic environment in Russia and Ukraine, and will consider further actions as appropriate. More broadly, there could be additional adverse impacts to our net revenues, earnings and cash flows should the situation escalate beyond its current scope, including, among other potential impacts, economic recessions in certain neighboring countries or globally due to inflationary pressures and supply chain cost increases or the geographic proximity of the war relative to the rest of Europe.

Recent U.S. Tax Legislation

On August 16, 2022, the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “Inflation Reduction Act”) into law. The Inflation Reduction Act includes a new corporate alternative minimum tax (the “Corporate AMT”) of 15% on the adjusted financial statement income (“AFSI”) of corporations with average AFSI exceeding $1.0 billion over a three-year period. The Corporate AMT is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2024. We are evaluating the Corporate AMT and its potential impact on our future U.S. tax expense, cash taxes, and effective tax rate. Additionally, the Inflation Reduction Act imposes an excise tax of 1% tax on the fair market value of net stock repurchases made after December 31, 2022. The impact of this provision will be dependent on the extent of share repurchases made in future periods.

COVID-19 Update

Given the effectiveness and broad access of vaccines along with their acceptance by a high percentage of our U.S. workforce, as of September 6, 2022, we will lift our vaccination requirement for access to sites, travel, and events in the U.S. However, any team member or contingent worker working at or visiting customer or third-party sites must continue to comply with those parties' rules and provide proof of vaccination or a negative test.

Outside of the U.S., sites are open at varying capacities based on local pandemic conditions and risk mitigation strategies enacted by country leadership. We maintain compliance with all local laws and regulations with respect to office attendance and safety protocols.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

We are a global technology leader focused on developing intelligent solutions that allow customers to capture, analyze, and act upon data seamlessly from edge to cloud. We enable customers to accelerate business outcomes by driving new business models, creating new customer and employee experiences, and increasing operational efficiency today and into the future. Our customers range from small-and-medium size businesses to large global enterprises and governmental entities. Our legacy dates to a partnership founded in 1939 by William R. Hewlett and David Packard, and we strive every day to uphold and enhance that legacy through our dedication to providing innovative technological solutions to our customers.

Our operations are organized into six reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: Compute, High Performance Computing and Artificial Intelligence ("HPC & AI"), Storage, Intelligent Edge, HPE Financial Services ("FS"), and Corporate Investments and Other.

The global pandemic has brought a renewed focus on digital transformation as businesses rethink everything from remote work and collaboration to business continuity and data insights. Businesses are looking ahead, beyond the demands of the pandemic, and treating digital transformation as a strategic imperative. Additionally, the pandemic has accelerated several trends relevant to the company: the exponential increase of data at the edge; the need for a cloud experience everywhere to manage the growth of data at the edge; and the need to quickly extract value from the captured data. Enterprises have embraced multi-cloud strategies, employing different cloud environments for different types of data and workloads. Increasingly, customers want to digitally transform, while preserving capital and eliminating operating expense, by paying only for the IT they use.

In response, we are accelerating our development and innovation efforts in areas of strategic focus, including the Intelligent Edge and HPC & AI businesses, while at the same time, strengthening our core Compute and Storage businesses, by investing in key areas of growth and accelerating our as-a-service pivot to become the edge-to-cloud company for our customers and partners with our HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform.

On March 22, 2022, we announced significant advancements to our HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform, our flagship hybrid offering that enables organizations to modernize all their applications and data, from edge to cloud. The platform advancements include a unified operating experience with one view of all services edge to cloud along with convergence with the Aruba Central cloud service, twelve new cloud services including network as-a-service, data services, high performance computing functions, and compute operations management, and availability of HPE GreenLake platform in the online marketplaces of several leading distributors. These updates strengthen the HPE GreenLake platform and help customers drive their data modernization needs.

The following table summarizes our condensed consolidated financial results for the periods presented:

Three months ended July 31, 2022 compared with the three months ended July 31, 2021

Net revenue of $7.0 billion represented an increase of 0.8% (increased 4.3% on a constant currency basis) as robust demand reflected by a high beginning order backlog was moderated by a combination of unfavorable currency fluctuations, ongoing supply chain constraints, and lower revenue from Russia. The net revenue increase was driven by the introduction of the Frontier supercomputer from HPE Cray and strong demand for our networking products. The gross profit margin of 34.5%

(or $2.4 billion) was unchanged from the prior-year period as the combination of pricing discipline in server and storage products and a mix shift to higher margin software rich offerings was offset by supply chain constraints and related cost increases in HPC & AI and Intelligent Edge. The operating profit margin was 6.7%, up 2.6 percentage points due primarily to lower transformation costs and lower selling, general & administrative expense, the positive impact of which was moderated by expenses related to exiting our Russia and Belarus businesses.

Nine months ended July 31, 2022 compared with the nine months ended July 31, 2021

Net revenue of $20.6 billion represented an increase of 1.0% (increased 2.6% on a constant currency basis) as robust demand reflected by a high beginning order backlog was moderated by a combination of ongoing supply chain constraints, lower revenue from Russia, and unfavorable currency fluctuations. The net revenue increase was led by strong demand for networking products, the introduction of the Frontier supercomputer from HPE Cray and effective pricing management in server products. The gross profit margin of 33.5% (or $6.9 billion) represents a decrease of 0.6 percentage points due primarily to supply chain constraints and related cost increases in HPC & AI, Intelligent Edge, and Storage, with expected credit losses related to exiting our Russia and Belarus businesses adding to the overall decline. Moderating the decrease was pricing discipline and strong cost management in server products. The operating profit margin was 5.4%, up 1.6 percentage points due primarily to lower transformation costs.

For the nine months ended July 31, 2022, we generated $1.6 billion of cash flow from operations and used $201 million of free cash flows primarily due to the impact of supply chain constraints on working capital, which moderated cash generation, and increased capital investments.

Each non-GAAP financial measure has been reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure herein. Please refer to the section "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations" at the end of this MD&A for these reconciliations, along with a discussion of the usefulness of these non-GAAP financial measures, and material limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures.

Annualized revenue run-rate ("ARR")

ARR represents the annualized revenue of all net HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform services revenue, related financial services revenue (which includes rental income from operating leases and interest income from capital leases) and software-as-a-service, software consumption revenue, and other as-a-service offerings, recognized during a quarter and multiplied by four. We use ARR as a performance metric. ARR should be viewed independently of net revenue and is not intended to be combined with it.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

The following presents our ARR performance for the periods presented:

			For the three months ended July 31,
			2022												2021
			Dollars in millions
ARR			$			858									$			705
year-over-year growth rate			22%												34%

The 22% increase in ARR was due to growth in our HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform and related financial services due to an expanding customer installed base. The increase was adversely impacted by unfavorable currency fluctuations, supply chain constraints and related installation delays. At the segment level, ARR growth was led by strength in Storage as-a-service including Zerto and Intelligent Edge as-a-service activity.

Returning capital to our shareholders remains an important part of our capital allocation framework that consists of capital returns to shareholders and strategic investments. During the third quarter of fiscal 2022, we paid a quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share to our shareholders. On August 30, 2022, we declared our fiscal 2022 fourth quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share, payable on October 7, 2022, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 12, 2022. During the first nine months of fiscal 2022, we repurchased and settled an aggregate amount of $384 million in connection with our share repurchase program. As of July 31, 2022, we had a remaining authorization of $1.5 billion for future share repurchases.

We believe our existing balance of cash and cash equivalents, along with commercial paper and other short-term liquidity arrangements, are sufficient to satisfy our working capital needs, capital asset purchases, dividends, debt repayments, and other liquidity requirements associated with our existing operations. As of July 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $4.4 billion and $4.3 billion, respectively. In December 2021, we terminated our prior senior unsecured revolving credit facility and entered into a new senior unsecured revolving credit facility with an aggregate lending commitment of $4.75 billion for a period of five years. As of July 31, 2022, no borrowings were outstanding under this credit facility.

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 revenue growth has been impacted, and we expect 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 present the year-over-year percentage change in revenue on a constant currency basis, which assumes no change in foreign currency exchange rates from the prior-year period and does not adjust for any repricing or demand impacts from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. This change in revenue on a constant currency basis is calculated as the quotient of (a) current year revenue converted to U.S. dollars using the prior-year period's foreign currency exchange rates divided by (b) the prior-year period revenue. This information is provided so that revenue can be viewed without the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, which is consistent with how management evaluates our revenue results and trends. This constant currency disclosure is provided in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the year-over-year percentage change in 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.

On April 14, 2021 (the "Approval Date"), shareholders of the Company approved the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2021 Plan") that replaced the Company’s 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”). The 2021 Plan provides for the grant of various types of awards including restricted stock awards, stock options, and performance-based awards. These awards generally vest over 3 years from the grant date. The maximum number of shares as of the Approval Date that may be delivered to the participants under the 2021 Plan shall not exceed 7 million shares, plus 35.8 million shares that were available for grant under the 2015 Plan and any awards granted under the 2015 Plan prior to the Approval Date that were cash-settled, forfeited, terminated, or lapsed after the Approval Date. On April 5, 2022, shareholders of the Company approved an amendment to the 2021 Plan thereby increasing the overall number of shares available for issuance by 15 million shares. As of July 31, 2022, the Company had remaining authorization of 38.6 million shares under the 2021 Plan.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Please refer to the section "Segment Information" further below for a discussion of our results of operations for each reportable segment.

Gross profit

For the three months ended July 31, 2022, the total gross profit margin of 34.5% remained unchanged compared to the prior year period as the combination of pricing discipline in server and storage products and a mix shift to higher margin software-rich offerings was offset by supply chain constraints and related cost increases in HPC & AI and Intelligent Edge. For the nine months ended July 31, 2022, the total gross profit margin of 33.5%, represents a decrease of 0.6 percentage points compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily driven by supply chain constraints and related cost increases across many of our segments, with costs from expected credit losses related to exiting our Russia and Belarus businesses adding to the overall decline. Moderating the gross profit decrease was pricing discipline and strong cost management in server products.

Operating expenses

Research and development ("R&D")

For the three months ended July 31, 2022, R&D expense increased by $3 million, or 1% due primarily to higher IT and software expenditures, mostly offset by lower employee cost driven by lower variable compensation expense.

For the nine months ended July 31, 2022, R&D expense increased by $53 million, or 4% due primarily to higher overall employee compensation expense, which contributed 1.9 percentage points to the change and a combination of higher facilities, training and travel expenses, which in total contributed 1.1 percentage points to the change.

Selling, general and administrative

For the three months ended July 31, 2022, selling, general and administrative expense decreased by $62 million, or 5% due primarily to a combination of lower employee cost driven by lower variable compensation expense, which contributed 2.9 percentage points to the change, and continued cost savings resulting from our transformation programs, which contributed 2.4 percent points to the change.

For the nine months ended July 31, 2022, selling, general and administrative expense increased by $30 million, or 1% due primarily to higher travel expense as the economy reopens and COVID-19 restrictions ease, which contributed 1.4 percentage points to the change, partially offset by a combination of lower employee cost driven by lower variable compensation expense and continued cost savings from our transformation programs, which in total contributed 0.5 percentage points to the change.

Amortization of intangible assets

For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2022, amortization of intangible assets decreased by $9 million, or 11% and $56 million, or 20%, respectively, due to certain intangible assets associated with prior acquisitions reaching the end of their amortization periods moderated by an increase in amortization expense in the current periods resulting from recent acquisitions. Additionally, the decrease for the nine-month period was due to certain write-offs taken in the prior period.

Transformation programs and costs

Our transformation programs consist of the cost optimization and prioritization plan (launched in 2020) and the HPE Next initiative (launched in 2017).

For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2022, transformation costs decreased by $133 million, or 62% and $444 million, or 61%, respectively, due primarily to lower restructuring charges recorded in the current periods as restructuring actions related to employee severance, infrastructure and other under the HPE Next program are substantially complete. For a further discussion, refer to Note 3, "Transformation Programs" to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I.

Interest and other, net

For the three months ended July 31, 2022, interest and other, net expense increased by $24 million due primarily to a combination of unfavorable currency fluctuations, the prior period containing interest income from the recovery of social contribution taxes in Brazil, and losses on equity investments in the current period. The increase was moderated by increased

Management's Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

interest income from higher interest rates, lower interest expense from lower average borrowings, and higher gains from the sale of certain assets in the current period.

For the nine months ended July 31, 2022, interest and other, net expense decreased by $26 million due primarily to lower interest expense from lower average borrowings and increased interest income from higher interest rates. The decrease was moderated by unfavorable currency fluctuations.

Tax indemnification and related adjustments

We recorded tax indemnification expense of $30 million and tax indemnification income of $76 million for the three months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and tax indemnification expense of $47 million and tax indemnification income of $60 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

For the three months ended July 31, 2022, the amount primarily included changes in tax liabilities for which we shared joint and several liability with HP Inc. and for which we were indemnified by HP Inc. The nine months ended July 31, 2022 also included changes to certain pre-divestiture tax liabilities and tax receivables. For the three months ended July 31, 2021, the amount primarily included the impacts of a Brazilian Supreme Court decision received regarding the base on which social contribution taxes are imposed. The nine months ended July 31, 2021 also included changes in tax liabilities for which we shared joint and several liability with HP Inc., for which we were indemnified by HP Inc., and changes to certain pre-divestiture tax liabilities and tax receivables.

Non-service net periodic benefit credit

For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2022, non-service net periodic benefit credit increased by $15 million and $53 million, respectively, due primarily to lower amortized actuarial losses, partially offset by higher interest cost due to higher discount rates and lower expected returns on assets in the current periods.

Earnings from equity interests

Earnings from equity interests primarily represents our 49% interest in H3C Technologies and the amortization of our interest in basis difference. For the three months ended July 31, 2022, earnings from equity interests decreased by $11 million due primarily to gains from certain venture investments in the prior period partially offset by lower amortization expense from basis difference and higher net income earned by H3C in the current period.

For the nine months ended July 31, 2022, earnings from equity interests increased by $23 million due primarily to lower amortization expense from basis difference and higher net income earned by H3C in the current period partially offset by gains from certain venture investments in the prior period.

Provision for taxes

For the three months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded income tax expense of $55 million and $14 million, respectively, which reflects an effective tax rate of 11.9% and 3.4%, respectively. For the nine months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded income tax expense of $61 million and $25 million, respectively, which reflects an effective tax rate of 5.0% and 2.8%, respectively. Our effective tax rate generally differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due to favorable tax rates associated with certain earnings from our operations in lower tax jurisdictions throughout the world but are also impacted by discrete tax adjustments during each fiscal period.

For further discussion, refer to Note 5, "Taxes on Earnings" to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), which requires us to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net revenue, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if the nature of the estimate or assumption it incorporates is subject to a material level of judgment related to matters that are highly uncertain, and changes in those estimates and assumptions are reasonably likely to materially impact our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Estimates and judgments are based on historical experience, forecasted events, and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and judgments may vary under different assumptions or conditions. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. Accounting policies that are critical in the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgements include revenue recognition, taxes on earnings, business combinations, impairment assessment of goodwill and intangible assets, and contingencies.

There have been no significant changes during the nine months ended July 31, 2022, to the items that we disclosed as our "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021. A summary of significant accounting policies and a summary of recent accounting pronouncements applicable to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are included in Note 1, "Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies", to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I.

Segment Information

Hewlett Packard Enterprise's organizational structure is based on a number of factors that the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), who is the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), uses to evaluate, view, and run our business operations, which include, but are not limited to, customer base and homogeneity of products and technology. The segments are based on this organizational structure and information reviewed by Hewlett Packard Enterprise's management to evaluate segment results.

A description of the products and services for each segment, along with other pertinent information related to our segments can be found in Note 2, "Segment Information", to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I.

Three months ended July 31, 2022 compared with three months ended July 31, 2021

Compute net revenue decreased by $98 million, or 3.2% (decreased 0.5% on a constant currency basis), primarily due to unfavorable currency fluctuations and a decline in unit shipments resulting from supply constraints due to the challenging supply chain environment. As a result, Compute exited the quarter with a high level of order backlog. The net revenue decline was moderated by higher average unit prices resulting from a combination of disciplined pricing actions and higher sales of server configurations with more complex component architectures in our next generation products.

From a product perspective, Compute experienced revenue growth in the rack server category moderated by a revenue decline across our other product categories resulting from supply constraints. Services net revenue declined primarily due to lower revenue from Russia and the impact of delayed hardware shipments on services contracts.

Compute earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue increased 2.1 percentage points due to decreases in costs of products and services as a percentage of net revenue and operating expense as a percentage of net revenue. The decrease in costs of products and services as a percentage of net revenue was primarily due to pricing discipline partially offset by supply chain constraints and related costs and unfavorable currency fluctuations. The decrease in operating expense as a percentage of net revenue was primarily due to lower variable compensation expense.

Nine months ended July 31, 2022 compared with nine months ended July 31, 2021

Compute net revenue decreased by $55 million, or 0.6% (increased 0.4% on a constant currency basis), primarily due to unfavorable currency fluctuations and lower unit shipments resulting from supply constraints due to the challenging supply chain environment. The net revenue decline was moderated by higher average unit prices resulting from a combination of disciplined pricing actions and higher sales of server configurations with more complex component architectures in our next generation products.

From a product perspective, Compute experienced revenue growth in the rack server category moderated by a revenue decline due to certain products approaching their end-of-life. Services net revenue declined primarily due to lower revenue from Russia and the impact of delayed hardware shipments on services contracts.

Compute earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue increased 2.4 percentage points due to decreases in costs of products and services as a percentage of net revenue and operating expense as a percentage of net revenue. The decrease in costs of products and services as a percentage of net revenue was primarily due to pricing discipline and strong cost management partially offset by supply chain constraints and related costs. The decrease in operating expense as a percentage of net revenue was primarily due to lower variable compensation expense.

Three months ended July 31, 2022 compared with three months ended July 31, 2021

HPC & AI net revenue increased by $90 million, or 12.2% (increased 14.9% on a constant currency basis) as a result of strong demand, led by the introduction of the Frontier supercomputer from HPE Cray and growth in Data Solutions. The increase was moderated by supply chain constraints, delayed customer acceptances, challenges with HPE Apollo products, and lower services revenue due primarily to unfavorable currency fluctuations.

HPC & AI earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue decreased 0.4 percentage points due to increases in cost of products and services as a percentage of net revenue, partially offset by a decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue. The increase in cost of products and services as a percentage of net revenue was due primarily to the impact of delayed customer acceptances, supply chain constraints and related cost increases, lower revenue from higher-margin products and a lower mix of revenue from services. The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue was primarily due to lower variable compensation expense.

Nine months ended July 31, 2022 compared with nine months ended July 31, 2021

HPC & AI net revenue increased by $145 million, or 6.6% (increased 7.7% on a constant currency basis) as a result of strong demand, led by the introduction of the Frontier supercomputer from HPE Cray and growth in Data Solutions. The increase was moderated by supply chain constraints, delayed customer acceptances, and lower services revenue due primarily to an unfavorable portfolio mix of service offerings and unfavorable currency fluctuations.

HPC & AI earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue decreased 4.9 percentage points due to increases in cost of products and services as a percentage of net revenue, partially offset by a decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue. The increase in cost of products and services as a percentage of net revenue was due primarily to lower revenue from higher-margin products, a lower mix of revenue from services, supply chain constraints and related cost increases, and the impact of delayed customer acceptances. The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue was primarily due to lower variable compensation expense, partially offset by higher investments in research and development to focus on high-performance computing and AI solutions, including integrating such solutions into our HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform.

Three months ended July 31, 2022 compared with three months ended July 31, 2021

Storage net revenue decreased by $23 million or 2.0% (increased 1.2% on a constant currency basis) due primarily to unfavorable currency fluctuations, lower revenue from Russia, and supply chain constraints. Net revenue declined in Storage products while Storage services was largely unchanged from the prior-year period. The decrease in Storage products was led by declines in the traditional storage and Big Data product portfolios, partially offset by higher revenue from HPE Primera and HPE Alletra products as we transition to our next generation product platforms. As a result of strong demand and the challenging supply chain environment, Storage exited the quarter with a high order backlog.

Storage earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue decreased 0.4 percentage points due to an increase in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue, partially offset by a decrease in cost of products and services as a percentage of net revenue. The decrease in cost of products and services as a percentage of net revenue was due primarily to a favorable mix of higher-margin products and pricing actions, the effects of which were partially offset by supply chain constraints and related costs. The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue was due primarily to higher investments in research and development focused on as-a-service offerings and higher field selling costs, partially offset by lower variable compensation expense.

Nine months ended July 31, 2022 compared with nine months ended July 31, 2021

Storage net revenue decreased by $97 million or 2.8% (decreased 1.6% on a constant currency basis) due primarily to supply chain constraints and unfavorable currency fluctuations. Net revenue declined in Storage products moderated by an increase in Storage services. The decline in Storage products was led by declines in HPE 3PAR, as we transition to its next generation product platforms, such as HPE Alletra and Primera products, and lower traditional storage revenue. The increase in Storage services was led by Zerto Services as we continue our transition to more services-intensive, and software-rich offerings.

Storage earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue decreased 3.3 percentage point due to increases in cost of products and services as a percentage of net revenue and operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue. The increase in cost of products and services as a percentage of net revenue was due primarily to supply chain constraints and related costs, which unfavorably impacted the mix of certain higher-margin products, partially offset by increased sales of higher margin Zerto products. The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue was due primarily to higher investments in research and development focused on as-a-service offerings and higher field selling costs, partially offset by lower variable compensation expense.

As of July 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, Financial Services net cash and cash equivalents balances were approximately $984 million and $898 million, respectively.

Net portfolio assets as of July 31, 2022 decreased 5.5% from October 31, 2021. The decrease generally resulted from unfavorable currency fluctuations, along with portfolio runoff exceeding new financing volume during the period.

Financial Services bad debt expense includes charges to general reserves, specific reserves, and write-offs for sales-type, direct-financing, and operating leases. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2022, Financial Services recorded net bad debt expense of $17 million and $62 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2021, Financial Services recorded net bad debt expense of $30 million and $89 million, respectively.

As of July 31, 2022, Financial Services experienced a decrease in billed finance receivables compared to October 31, 2021, which included a limited impact to collections from customers as a result of the pandemic, and customers from Russia. We are currently unable to fully predict the extent to which the pandemic and our exit from Russia and Belarus businesses may adversely impact future collections of our receivables.

Corporate Investments and Other net revenue decreased by $32 million, or 9.6% (decreased 0.9% on a constant currency basis) due primarily to unfavorable currency fluctuations.

Corporate Investments and Other loss from operations as a percentage of net revenue increased by 1.9 percentage points due primarily to an increase in cost of services as a percentage of net revenue moderated by a decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue. The increase in cost of services as a percentage of net revenue was primarily due to the scale of the net revenue decline and the related impact of fixed overhead costs, and a lower mix of higher margin license revenue in Software. The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue was primarily due to lower variable compensation expense.

Nine months ended July 31, 2022 compared with nine months ended July 31, 2021

Corporate Investments and Other net revenue decreased by $51 million, or 5.1% (increased 0.8% on a constant currency basis) due primarily to unfavorable currency fluctuations.

Corporate Investments and Other loss from operations as a percentage of net revenue decreased 1.5 percentage points due primarily to lower cost of services as a percentage of net revenue and a decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue. The decrease in cost of services as a percentage of net revenue was primarily due to improved service delivery efficiencies in A & PS which includes lower variable compensation expense. The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue was primarily due to lower variable compensation expense.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Current Overview

We use cash generated by operations as our primary source of liquidity. We believe that internally generated cash flows will be generally sufficient to support our operating businesses, capital expenditures, product development initiatives, acquisitions, and disposal activities including legal settlements, restructuring activities, transformation costs, indemnifications, maturing debt, interest payments, and income tax payments, in addition to any future investments, share repurchases, and stockholder dividend payments. We expect to supplement this short-term liquidity, if necessary, by accessing the capital markets, issuing commercial paper, and borrowing under credit facilities made available by various domestic and foreign financial institutions. However, our access to capital markets may be constrained and our cost of borrowing may increase under certain business, market, and economic conditions. We anticipate that the funds made available and cash generated from operations, along with our access to capital markets, will be sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements for at least the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future thereafter. We continue to monitor the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the U.S. and other global economies, the capital markets, consumer behavior, our businesses, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows. Our liquidity is subject to various risks including the risks identified in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of Part II and market risks identified in the section entitled "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" in Item 3 of Part I.

Our cash balances are held in numerous locations throughout the world, with a substantial amount held outside the U.S. as of July 31, 2022. 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 U.S. are generally utilized to support our non-U.S. liquidity needs. Repatriations of amounts held outside the U.S. generally will not be taxable from a U.S. federal tax perspective, but may be subject to state income or foreign withholding tax. Where local restrictions prevent an efficient intercompany transfer of funds, our intent is to keep cash balances outside of the U.S. and to meet liquidity needs through ongoing cash flows, external borrowings, or both. We do not expect restrictions or potential taxes incurred on repatriation of amounts held outside of the U.S. to have a material effect on our overall liquidity, financial condition, or results of operations.

In connection with the share repurchase program previously authorized by our Board of Directors, during the first nine months of fiscal 2022, we repurchased and settled an aggregate amount of $384 million. As of July 31, 2022, we had a remaining authorization of $1.5 billion for future share repurchases. For more information on our share repurchase program, refer to the section entitled "Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds" in Item 2 of Part II.    

On April 22, 2022, we entered into an amendment with Unisplendour Corporation (“UNIS”) and H3C Technologies Co. Limited (“H3C”) to the Shareholder Agreement previously entered into between the parties as of May 21, 2015. The amendment extends the Shareholder Agreement to October 31, 2022, the latest date upon which we may put to UNIS all or part of the H3C shares held by us, at a price of 15.0 times the last twelve months net income of H3C.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

The following tables represent the way in which management reviews cash flows:

			For the nine months ended July 31,
			2022						2021
			In millions
Net cash provided by operating activities			$	1,557					$	2,915
Net cash used in investing activities			(1,224)						(1,717)
Net cash used in financing activities			(216)						(167)
Net increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash			$	117					$	1,031

Operating Activities

For the nine months ended July 31, 2022, net cash from operating activities decreased by $1.4 billion, as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of supply chain constraints on working capital, lower cash generated from earnings, and lower variable compensation accruals as compared to the prior-year period.

Our working capital metrics and cash conversion impacts were as follows:

			As of																		As of
			July 31, 2022						October 31, 2021						Change						July 31, 2021						October 31, 2020						Change						Y/Y Change
Days of sales outstanding in accounts receivable ("DSO")			44						49						(5)						43						42						1						1
Days of supply in inventory ("DOS")			110						82						28						79						48						31						31
Days of purchases outstanding in accounts payable ("DPO")			(136)						(128)						(8)						(130)						(97)						(33)						(6)
Cash conversion cycle			18						3						15						(8)						(7)						(1)						26

The cash conversion cycle is the sum of DSO and DOS less DPO. Items which may cause the cash conversion cycle in a particular period to differ include, but are not limited to, changes in business mix, changes in payment terms (including extended payment terms to customers or from suppliers), early or late invoice payments from customers or to suppliers, the extent of receivables factoring, seasonal trends, the timing of the revenue recognition and inventory purchases within the period, the impact of commodity costs, and acquisition activity.

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, by a 90-day average of net revenue. Compared to the corresponding three-month period in fiscal 2021, the increase in DSO in the current period was primarily due to unfavorable billings linearity, partially offset by higher early collections and receivables factoring.

DOS measures the average number of days from procurement to sale of our products. DOS is calculated by dividing ending inventory by a 90-day average of cost of goods sold. Compared to the corresponding three-month period in fiscal 2021, the increase in DOS in the current period was primarily due to higher levels of inventory resulting from a combination of supply chain constraints, positioning of inventory to fulfill planned future shipments, and strategic purchases of certain key components.

DPO measures the average number of days our accounts payable balances are outstanding. DPO is calculated by dividing ending accounts payable by a 90-day average of cost of goods sold. Compared to the corresponding three-month period in fiscal 2021, the increase in DPO in the current period was primarily due to higher inventory purchases for planned future shipments.

Investing Activities

For the nine months ended July 31, 2022, net cash used in investing activities decreased by $0.5 billion, as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2021. The decrease was primarily due to lower cash utilized in net financial collateral activities of $0.4 billion, higher proceeds from the sale of investments, net of purchases of $0.3 billion, lower payments made in connection with business acquisitions of $0.1 billion, and higher cash utilized for investment in property, plant and equipment, net of sales proceeds of $0.3 billion, as compared to the prior-year period.

Financing Activities

For the nine months ended July 31, 2022, net cash used in financing activities was unchanged, as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2021. This was primarily due to lower net debt repayments of $0.4 billion and higher cash utilized for share repurchases and stock-based award activities of $0.4 billion, as compared to the prior-year period.

Free Cash Flow

			For the nine months ended July 31,
			2022						2021
			In millions
Net cash provided by operating activities			$	1,557					$	2,915
Investment in property, plant and equipment			(2,122)						(1,732)
Proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment			364						274
Total			$	(201)					$	1,457

Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations less investments in property, plant and equipment net of proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment. For the nine months ended July 31, 2022, free cash flow decreased by $1.7 billion, as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2021. The decrease was due to lower cash generated from operations of $1.4 billion due to the impact of supply chain constraints on working capital and higher cash utilized for investments in property, plant and equipment, net of sales proceeds of $0.3 billion, as compared to the prior-year period.

For more information on the impact of operating assets and liabilities to our cash flows, see Note 6, "Balance Sheet Details", to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I.

Capital Resources

We maintain debt levels that we establish through consideration of several factors, including cash flow expectations, cash requirements for operations, investment plans (including acquisitions), share repurchase activities, our cost of capital, and targeted capital structure. We maintain a revolving credit facility and two commercial paper programs, "the Parent Programs", and a wholly-owned subsidiary maintains a third program. In December 2021, we terminated our prior senior unsecured revolving credit facility and entered into a new senior unsecured revolving credit facility with an aggregate commitment of $4.75 billion for a period of five years. There have been no changes to our commercial paper and shelf registration statement since October 31, 2021. For further information on our capital resources, see Note 11, "Borrowings" to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I.

On August 15, 2022, we redeemed $1.35 billion of 4.40% Senior Notes with an original maturity date of October 15, 2022, utilizing the par call option on the debt which enabled net interest expense savings, with no redemption penalties.

In May 2022, we issued $747 million of asset-backed debt securities in six tranches at a weighted average price of 99.99% and a weighted average interest rate of 3.68%, payable monthly from July 2022 with a stated final maturity date of March 2030.

In January 2022, we issued $1.0 billion of asset-backed debt securities in six tranches at a weighted average price of 99.99% and a weighted average interest rate of 1.51%, payable monthly from March 2022 with a stated final maturity date of November 2029.

As of July 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, no borrowings were outstanding under our revolving credit facility.

As of July 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, no borrowings were outstanding under the Parent Programs, and $635 million and $705 million, respectively, were outstanding under our subsidiary’s program. During the first nine months of fiscal 2022, we issued $616 million and repaid $601 million of commercial paper.

CONTRACTUAL CASH AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS

Contractual Obligations

In addition to the previously mentioned early redemption of unsecured senior notes and issuance of asset-backed debt securities, our unconditional purchase obligations increased by $0.9 billion to $1.7 billion since October 31, 2021. For further information see Note 15, "Commitments", to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and "Contractual Cash and Other Obligations" in Item 7 of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021.

Retirement Benefit Plan Funding

For the remainder of fiscal 2022, we anticipate making contributions of approximately $51 million to our non-U.S. pension plans. Our policy is to fund our pension plans so that we meet at least the minimum contribution requirements, as established by various authorities including local government and tax authorities.

Restructuring Plans

As of July 31, 2022, we expect to make future cash payments of approximately $0.5 billion in connection with our approved restructuring plans, which includes $0.1 billion expected to be paid through the remainder of fiscal 2022 and $0.4 billion expected to be paid thereafter. For more information on our restructuring activities, see Note 3, "Transformation Programs" to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I.

Uncertain Tax Positions

As of July 31, 2022, we had approximately $299 million of recorded liabilities and related interest and penalties pertaining to uncertain tax positions. These liabilities and related interest and penalties include $32 million expected to be paid within one year. For the remaining amount, 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I.

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, established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

We have third-party revolving short-term financing arrangements intended to facilitate the working capital requirements of certain customers. For more information on our third-party revolving short-term financing arrangements, see Note 6, "Balance Sheet Details", to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Non-GAAP financial measures

The non-GAAP financial measures presented are net revenue on a constant currency basis, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross profit margin, non-GAAP earnings from operations, non-GAAP operating profit margin (non-GAAP earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue), non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share, and free cash flow. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management for purposes of evaluating our historical and prospective financial performance, as well as evaluating our performance relative to our competitors. These non-GAAP financial measures are not computed in accordance with, or as an alternative to, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to net revenue on a constant currency basis is net revenue. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP gross profit is gross profit. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP gross profit margin is gross profit margin. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP earnings from operations is earnings from operations. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP operating profit margin (non-GAAP earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue) is operating profit margin (earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue). The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP net earnings is net earnings. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share is diluted net earnings per share. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to free cash flow is cash flow from operations.

Net revenue on a constant currency basis assumes no change in the foreign exchange rate from the prior-year period. Non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross profit margin are defined to exclude charges related to the amortization of initial direct costs, stock-based compensation expense and disaster charges. Non-GAAP earnings from operations and non-GAAP operating profit margin (non-GAAP earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue) consist of earnings from operations excluding any charges related to the amortization of initial direct costs, amortization of intangible assets, transformation costs, stock-based compensation expense, disaster charges, and acquisition, disposition and other related charges. Non-GAAP net earnings and Non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share consist of net earnings or diluted net earnings per share excluding those same charges, as well as items such as tax indemnification and related adjustments, non-service net periodic benefit credit, earnings from equity interests, certain income tax valuation allowances and separation taxes, the impact of U.S. tax reform, structural rate adjustment and excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation. In addition, non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share are adjusted by the amount of additional taxes or tax benefits associated with each non-GAAP item. We believe that excluding the items mentioned above from these non-GAAP financial measures allows management to better understand our consolidated financial performance in relation to the operating results of our segments. Management does not believe that the excluded items are reflective of ongoing operating results, and excluding them facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of our current operating performance in comparison to our peers. The excluded items can be inconsistent in amount and frequency and/or not reflective of the operational performance of the business.

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations in relying on these non-GAAP financial measures are that they can have a material impact on the equivalent GAAP earnings measures and cash flows, they may be calculated differently by other companies and may not reflect the full economic effect of the loss in value of certain assets.

We compensate for these limitations on the use of non-GAAP financial measures by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures only as a supplement. We also provide a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP measure. We believe that providing net revenue on a constant currency basis, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross profit margin, non-GAAP earnings from operations, non-GAAP operating profit margin, non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share, and free cash flow, in addition to the related GAAP measures provides greater transparency to the information used in our financial and operational decision making and allows the reader of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to see our financial results “through the eyes” of management.

Item 5. Other Information.

The following disclosure is being made under Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act:

On March 2, 2021, the U.S. Secretary of State designated the Russian Federal Security Service (“FSB”) as a party subject to the provisions of U.S. Executive Order No. 13382 issued in 2005 (“Executive Order 13382”). On the same day, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) updated General License 1B (“General License 1B”) which generally authorizes U.S. companies to engage in certain licensing, permitting, certification, notification, and related transactions with the FSB as may be required for the importation, distribution, or use of information technology products in the Russian Federation. Our local subsidiary is required to engage on a regular basis with the FSB as a licensing authority and to file documents. There are no gross revenues or net profits directly associated with any such dealings by us with the FSB and all such dealings are explicitly authorized by General License 1B. We plan to continue these activities as required to support our orderly and managed wind down of our Russia operations.

On April 15, 2021, the U.S. Government issued an executive order on Blocking Property with Respect to Specified Harmful Foreign Activities of the Government of the Russian Federation (“Executive Order 14024”), implementing additional U.S. sanctions against the Russian government and against Russian actors that threaten U.S. interests, including certain technology companies that support the Russian Intelligence Service. The U.S. Secretary of the Treasury designated Pozitiv Teknolodzhiz, AO (“Positive Technologies”) under Executive Order 14024 and Executive Order 13382. HPE’s local Russian subsidiary had dealings with Positive Technologies prior to its designation. Following the sanctions designation, our local subsidiary immediately initiated procedures to terminate its relationship with Positive Technologies. HPE does not plan to engage in any further transactions with this entity, except wind down activities that are authorized by OFAC going forward. In this reporting period, HPE did not have dealings with Positive Technologies, and there are no identifiable gross revenues or net profits associated with HPE’s relationship with Positive Technologies for this reporting period.

During the reporting period, HPE’s German affiliate, Hewlett-Packard GmbH, entered into an agreement to provide support services to Tara Steel Trading GmbH (“Tara Steel”) in Germany. The agreement, valued at approximately €3,400, was a renewal of a services agreement in connection with a 2017 sale of hardware via a distributor. In 2018, Tara Steel became a blocked party due to its status as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mobarakeh Steel Company, which became subject to U.S. blocking sanctions under Executive Order 13224 on October 16, 2018. Based on HPE’s preliminary internal review, the total value of HPE’s prior dealings with Tara Steel, including the renewal agreement entered into during the reporting period, the underlying indirect 2017 hardware sale, the original service agreement in connection with such sale, and a renewal in 2020, was approximately €21,000. HPE has not yet estimated the corresponding net revenue or net profit from such activities. HPE’s affiliate has since terminated the subject service agreement and does not intend to engage in any further transactions with this entity.

For a summary of our revenue recognition policies, see "Revenue Recognition" described in Part II, Item 8, Note 1, "Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies", of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021.
