In February 2025, new, substantial tariffs have been imposed on imports to the United States from China and we have taken actions to mitigate the effects of these tariffs. Other substantial tariffs on imports to the United States from certain countries and regions, including Canada, Mexico and the European Union, have been proposed and we are focused on continuing to evaluate and implement further mitigating actions, including potential supply chain resiliency movements, cost and pricing measures, if needed, as the tariff environment evolves. Should these or other proposed or incremental tariffs, including potential retaliatory actions imposed by other countries, be implemented and sustained for an extended period of time, as proposed, enacted or otherwise, they may have a significant adverse impact to our results of operations and cash flows to the extent our efforts do not fully mitigate the effects of such tariffs.

Previous report

During the nine months ended July 31, 2024, we experienced continued demand softness, especially in China, increasing commodity costs, and a competitive pricing environment across both Personal Systems and Printing, and we anticipate these trends to persist in the short-term. Despite the overall macroeconomic challenges, in Personal Systems PC unit volume increased due to Commercial PS recovery resulting in quarterly total net revenue growth.

Previous report

We are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We have a large global presence, with approximately 65% of our net revenue coming from outside the United States. As a result, our financial results can be, and particularly in recent periods have been, impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. While the foreign currency fluctuations were unfavorable to our financial results in the nine months ended July 31, 2024, we expect these fluctuations to have a minimal impact to our financial results in fiscal 2024.

Previous report

U.S. net revenue decreased 0.6% to $13.8 billion, and net revenue from international operations decreased 1.2% to $25.7 billion. The decrease in products net revenue was primarily driven by demand softness in Printing, partially offset by Commercial PS. Services net revenue remained flat.

Previous report

Personal Systems net revenue increased 1.2% (increased 0.8% on a constant currency basis) for the nine months ended July 31, 2024. The net revenue increase was primarily due to a 4.2% increase in PCs unit volume in both Commercial and Consumer PS due to market recovery, partially offset by a 2.3% decline in ASPs. The decline in ASPs is primarily due to competitive pricing, partially offset by favorable mix shifts and currency impacts.

Previous report

Previous report

Personal Systems earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue increased by 0.5 percentage points. The increase was driven by an increase in gross margin, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses as a percentage of revenue.

Net revenue for Supplies decreased 2.3%, primarily due to decline in the installed base and usage. Printer unit volume decreased 12.2% primarily due to demand softness and hardware ASPs decreased 1.5%. Print hardware ASPs decreased primarily due to unfavorable mix shifts and competitive pricing, particularly from our Japanese competitors with a favorable foreign currency environment.

Previous report

Printing earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue decreased by 0.1 percentage points.
