*Charts and commentary have been updated for HP QE July 2011 financial results*
HP Reports Lower Quarterly Performance: Announces historic company transition
HP Summary QE July 2011 Financial performance dropped again in QE July 2011 from the prior quarter. Total revenues, operating income, net income, earnings per share, cash flow per share, gross margin, operating margin, and net margin all decreased QoQ. Debt increased to 20.6% of total assets. This quarter, the QE July, is not historically a strong quarter for HP. The QE October and QE January are usually stronger quarters. However, HP has cut the QE October 2011 outlook for earnings per share to $0.44 - $0.55, even though revenues will be a projected higher $32.1B - $32.5B QoQ. This is due to a "company transition" and the resulting costs and charges (see below). HP has a large, embedded product financing operation which results in lower financial performance than other technology companies. Financial position continues as acceptable, with adequate capital, moderate debt, and adequate liquidity.
HP Income Statement QE July 2011 HP reported total revenues of $31.19B, net income of $1.93B, and earnings per share of $0.93. From the prior quarter QE April 2011, total revenues were down -1.4%, net income down -16.4%, and earnings per share down -11.4%. From the prior year QE July 2010, these were up +1.5%, up +8.6%, and up +24.0%, respectively. Gross margin was down to a 6-quarter low of 23.28%, operating margin was down to a 4-quarter low of 8.08%, and net margin was down to a 4-quarter low of 6.18%. Cash flow from operations of $1.54 is above the historical average, but a 2-quarter low. The operating expense ratio (operating expenses divided by total revenues) of 15.20% is higher than the historical average, but flat QoQ.
HP Balance Sheet QE July 2011 HP's total assets decreased slightly -0.2% QoQ to $124.92 billion from the prior record quarter of $125.13 billion. The capital to assets ratio (total stockholders' equity divided by total assets) of 31.40% is adequate, but a multi-year low. The current ratio (current assets divided by total assets) of 45.05% is within the historical range and a 4-quarter high. The return on assets of +7.63% is about average. Total debt is higher at 20.57% of total assets and a multi-quarter high.
Historic Company Transition HP announced along with the QE July 2011 quarterly earnings that a historic company transition has been initiated. The gist: HP is leaving the consumer PC market, leaving the webOS mobile device market, and entering enterprise cloud computing services. HP plans to separate the Personal Systems Group through "spin-off or other transaction". HP plans to "discontinue operations for webOS devices, specifically the TouchPad and webOS phones". HP announced the acquisition of Autonomy Corporation plc, a UK company that "is a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise with a customer base of more than 25,000 global companies, law firms and public sector agencies, and approximately 2,700 employees worldwide. Autonomy has an attractive business model, including a strong cloud based solution set, which is aligned with HP’s efforts to improve our portfolio mix. We believe this bold action will squarely position HP in software and information to create the next-generation Information Platform, and thereby, create significant value for our shareholders.”

PALO ALTO, Calif., Aug 18, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- HP (NYSE:HPQ) today announced financial results for its third fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2011, as well as the commencement of a company transformation described in detail in separate press releases issued today.
HP unveiled the details of a plan to accelerate the strategy introduced in March. The plan introduced today will:
* Move HP into higher value, higher margin growth categories
* Sharpen HP's focus on its strategic priorities of cloud, solutions and software with an emphasis on enterprise, commercial and government markets
* Increase investment in innovation to drive differentiation
As part of the transformation, HP announced that its board of directors has authorized the exploration of strategic alternatives for the company's Personal Systems Group. HP will consider a broad range of options that may include, among others, a full or partial separation of PSG from HP through a spin-off or other transaction.
HP will discontinue operations for webOS devices, specifically the TouchPad and webOS phones. The devices have not met internal milestones and financial targets. HP will continue to explore options to optimize the value of webOS software going forward.
In addition, HP announced the terms of a recommended transaction for all of the outstanding shares of Autonomy Corporation plc for £25.50 ($42.11) per share in cash. Autonomy's software powers a full spectrum of mission-critical enterprise applications, including pan-enterprise search, customer interaction solutions, information governance, end-to-end eDiscovery, records management, archiving, business process management, web content management, web optimization, rich media management and video and audio analysis. The addition of Autonomy will accelerate HP's ability to deliver on its strategy to offer cloud-based solutions and software that best addresses the changing needs of businesses.
"We're focused on improving performance across the business," said Léo Apotheker, HP president and chief executive officer. "HP is taking bold, transformative steps to position the company as a leader in the evolving information economy. Today's announced plan will allow HP to drive creation of long-term shareholder value through a focus on fewer fronts, thereby improving its ability to execute, invest in innovation and drive a higher-margin business mix."
