    Meg Whitman President and CEO Dear Stockholders, Fiscal 2012 was the first year in a multi-year journey to turn HP around. We diagnosed the problems facing the company, laid the foundation to fix them, and put in place a plan to restore HP to growth. We know where we need to go, and we are starting to make progress. The Year in Review In the first year of our turnaround effort, we provided a frank assessment of the challenges facing HP, laid out clear strategies at all levels of the corporation, and mapped out our journey to restore HP’s financial performance. Most importantly, we did what we said we would do in fiscal 2012 – we began taking action to bring costs in line with the revenue trajectory of the business and met our full-year non-GAAP earnings per share outlook. We have just completed year one of our journey, and we are already seeing tangible proof that the steps we have taken are working. This includes generating $10.6 billion in cash flow from operations for fiscal $10.6B 2012. HP used that cash to make significant progress in rebuilding our balance sheet – reducing our in cash flow from net debt by $5.6 billion during the year – and returned $2.6 billion to stockholders in the form of share operations for repurchases and dividends. fiscal 2012 Our efforts in fiscal 2012 also included beginning to tackle the structural and execution issues we identified, and building the foundation we need to improve our performance in the face of dynamic market trends and macroeconomic challenges.
