HEWLETT PACKARD ENTERPRISE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1: Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Background
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company ("Hewlett Packard Enterprise," "HPE," or the "Company") is a global technology leader focused on developing intelligent solutions that allow customers to capture, analyze and act upon data seamlessly from edge to cloud. 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 April 30, 2023 and October 31, 2022, its results of operations for the three and six months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, its cash flows for the six months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, and its statements of stockholders' equity for the three and six months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022.
The results of operations for the three and six months ended April 30, 2023 and the cash flows for the six months ended April 30, 2023 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, 2022, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on December 8, 2022.
Segment Realignment
Effective at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2023, in order to align its segment financial reporting more closely with its current business structure, the Company implemented an organizational change with the transfer of certain storage networking products, previously reported within the Storage reportable segment, to the Compute reportable segment.
The Company reflected these changes to its segment information retrospectively to the earliest period presented, which primarily resulted in the realignment of net revenue and operating profit for each of the segments as described above. These changes had no impact on Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s previously reported consolidated net revenue, net earnings, net earnings per share ("EPS") or total assets.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no 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, 2022.
Russia/Ukraine Conflict
In June 2022, the Company determined that it is no longer tenable to maintain its operations in Russia and Belarus and announced its decision to execute an orderly, managed exit of its remaining business in these countries. In the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company recorded total pre-tax charges of $126 million primarily related to expected credit losses of financing and trade receivables, $99 million of which was included in Financing cost, $6 million in Cost of services and $21 million in Disaster charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
Recently Enacted Accounting Pronouncements
Although there are new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") that the Company will adopt, as applicable, the Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements will have a material impact 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 Plan. 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 primary elements of the Cost Optimization and Prioritization Plan is anticipated to be 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 Plan 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 its offerings, business processes and business systems to improve its strategy execution. The implementation period of the primary elements of the HPE Next Plan is anticipated to be 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 offset by gains from real estate sales and sublease income from inactive office space.

Note 5: Taxes on Earnings
Provision for Taxes
For the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded income tax expense of $104 million and $26 million, respectively, which reflects an effective tax rate of 19.9% and 9.4%, respectively. For the six months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded income tax expense of $226 million and $6 million, respectively, which reflects an effective tax rate of 19.7% and 0.8%, 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 six months ended April 30, 2023, the Company recorded $14 million and $25 million, respectively, of net income tax benefits related to various items discrete to the period. For the three months ended April 30, 2023, this amount primarily included $14 million of income tax benefits related to transformation costs, and acquisition, disposition and other related charges. For the six months ended April 30, 2023, this amount primarily included $36 million of net income tax benefits related to transformation costs, acquisition, disposition and other related charges and $13 million of net excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation, partially offset by $23 million of net income tax charges related to tax audit settlements and changes in uncertain tax positions.
For the three and six months ended April 30, 2022, the Company recorded $38 million and $121 million, respectively, of net income tax benefits related to various items discrete to the period. For the three months ended April 30, 2022, this amount primarily included $25 million of income tax benefits on pre-tax charges incurred related to the Russia/Ukraine conflict and $22 million of income tax benefits related to transformation costs and acquisition, disposition and other related charges, partially offset by $10 million of net income tax charges related to the settlement of foreign tax audit matters. For the six months ended April 30, 2022, this amount primarily included $46 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, $25 million of income tax benefits on pre-tax charges incurred related to the Russia/Ukraine conflict, and $6 million of net income tax benefits related to the settlement of foreign tax audit matters.
Uncertain Tax Positions
As of April 30, 2023 and October 31, 2022, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $708 million and $674 million, respectively, of which up to $419 million and $386 million, respectively, would affect the Company's effective tax rate if realized as of their respective periods.

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 $11 million and interest expense of $3 million for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company recognized interest income of $10 million and $37 million for the six months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company recognized interest income in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 due to the release of reserves as a result of the effective settlement of the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) audit for fiscal 2016. As of April 30, 2023 and October 31, 2022, the Company had accrued $71 million and $81 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 IRS is conducting an audit of the Company's fiscal 2017, 2018, and 2019 U.S. federal income tax returns. The IRS may conclude its examination in the coming quarters and issue notices of proposed adjustments, the effect of which we would evaluate for financial statement purposes when received. Additionally, it is reasonably possible that certain 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 for these matters may be reduced by an amount up to $55 million within the next 12 months.

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. As of April 30, 2023, the aggregate amount of remaining performance obligations, or deferred revenue, was $6.7 billion. The Company expects to recognize approximately 50% of this balance over fiscal 2023 with the remainder to be recognized thereafter.

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 six months ended April 30, 2023 and the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022, the Company sold $147 million and $183 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.
The credit risk profile of gross financing receivables, based on internal risk ratings as of April 30, 2023, presented on amortized cost basis by year of origination was as follows:
 
As of April 30, 2023
Risk Rating
Low Moderate High

Total $ 5,095  $ 3,565  $ 319 
The credit risk profile of gross financing receivables, based on internal risk ratings as of October 31, 2022, presented on amortized cost basis by year of origination was as follows:
 
As of October 31, 2022
Risk Rating
Low Moderate High

2018 and prior 143  234  96 
Total $ 4,552  $ 3,489  $ 318 
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.

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 April 30, 2023 and October 31, 2022, 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.

For the six months ended April 30, 2023, financing receivables and leased equipment transferred via securitization through the SPE were $417 million and $391 million, respectively. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022, financing receivables and leased equipment transferred via securitization through the SPE were $1.6 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively.
Note 8: Acquisitions
During the six months ended April 30, 2023, the Company completed three acquisitions. The purchase price allocations for the acquisitions described below reflect various preliminary fair value estimates and analysis, including preliminary work performed by third-party valuation specialists, of certain tangible assets and liabilities acquired, the valuation of intangible assets acquired, certain legal matters, income and non-income based taxes, and residual goodwill, which are subject to change within the measurement period. Measurement period adjustments are recorded in the reporting period in which the estimates are finalized and adjustment amounts are determined.
The pro forma results of operations, the revenue and net income subsequent to the acquisition dates have not been presented as they are not material to the Company's consolidated results of operations, either individually or in the aggregate. Goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and intangible assets acquired, is not deductible for tax purposes.
The following table presents the aggregate estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including those items that are still pending allocations, for the acquisitions completed during the first six months of fiscal 2023:

On March 15, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of Axis Security, a cloud security provider, enabling the Company to expand its edge-to-cloud security capabilities by offering a unified Secure Access Services Edge (“SASE”) solution to meet the increasing demand for integrated networking and security solutions delivered as-a-service. Axis Security's results of operations were included within the Intelligent Edge segment. The acquisition date fair value consideration of $412 million primarily consisted of cash paid for outstanding common stock. In connection with this acquisition, the Company recorded approximately $312 million of goodwill, and $71 million of intangible assets. The Company is amortizing the intangible assets on a straight-line basis over an estimated weighted-average useful life of five years.
Note 9: Goodwill
Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. As of April 30, 2023, 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 April 30, 2023 and October 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, 2022.

(1)    As a result of the organizational realignments which were effective as of November 1, 2022, (described in Note 1, "Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies"), $160 million of goodwill was reallocated from the Storage segment to the Compute segment as of the beginning of the period using a relative fair value approach.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of goodwill on an annual basis as of the beginning of its fourth fiscal quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate there may be a potential impairment.
As of the annual test date in fiscal 2022, the HPC & AI reporting unit had goodwill of $2.9 billion and an excess of fair value over carrying value of net assets of 0%. 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 continues to face challenges related to supply chain constraints of key components 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 as the supply chain constraints continue to improve. 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 potential impairment charges.
As of the annual test date in fiscal 2022, the Software reporting unit had goodwill of $123 million and an excess of fair value over carrying value of net assets of 0%. The Software reporting unit relies significantly on the market approach, which is impacted by market volatility. If global macroeconomic or geopolitical conditions worsen and cause a further decline in the equity market or if revenue expectations are not met, this could result in the carrying value of the Software reporting unit exceeding its estimated fair value and potential impairment charges.
Note 10: 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.
