Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
 
On May 16, 2006, Hewlett-Packard Company (“HP”) issued a press release relating to its fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2006 entitled “HP Reports Second Quarter 2006 Results.” The text of this press release, with the non-GAAP consolidated condensed statements of earnings, the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows and certain additional financial information, is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1. The information in Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
 
In connection with its press release announcing its earnings for its fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2006, HP also provided its GAAP consolidated condensed statements of earnings, consolidated condensed balance sheets and segment information for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2006 filed herewith as Exhibit 99.2. Exhibit 99.2 is filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, and therefore may be incorporated by reference into filings under the Securities Act.

To supplement HP’s consolidated condensed financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, HP provides certain non-GAAP financial measures. Each of these non-GAAP measures is among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for planning and forecasting future periods. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide both management and investors with a more complete understanding of the underlying operating results and trends and an enhanced overall understanding of HP’s financial performance, liquidity and prospects for the future. This non-GAAP information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Additional information about HP’s use of non-GAAP financial information is included in Exhibit 99.1.
