Adjustment To PEO Compensation, Footnote The amounts shown as Compensation Actually Paid have been calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K and do not reflect compensation actually earned, realized or received by the Company’s NEOs. These amounts reflect total compensation as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table for each year, adjusted as described in the table below. The unvested equity fair values were calculated on each of the required measurement dates using valuation assumptions based on criteria that did not materially differ from those used for grant date fair value calculations and in accordance with the methodology used for financial reporting purposes.
For unvested awards subject to performance-based vesting conditions, the fair values were based on the probable outcome of such performance-based vesting conditions as of the last day of the fiscal year. Deductions from, and additions to, total compensation in the Summary Compensation Table by year to calculate Compensation Actually Paid consist of:

Non-GAAP Measure Description on-GAAP net earnings, as calculated and described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2024 (described therein as non-GAAP net earnings attributable to HPE in the case of fiscal 2024), was selected as the company-selected measure for fiscal year 2024, as it was deemed to be the most important financial performance measure used to link Company performance to CAP to our PEO and average CAP to our other NEOs for fiscal 2024. Please note non-GAAP net earnings may not have been the most important financial performance measure for fiscal years 2022 and 2021, and we may determine a different financial measure to be the company-selected measure in future years.
