HP estimates that it will incur pre-tax charges of approximately $1.0 billion relating to labor and non-labor actions. HP expects to incur approximately $0.9 billion primarily in labor costs related to workforce reductions and the remaining costs will relate to non-labor actions and other charges.

These costs primarily relate to third-party legal, professional services and other non-recurring costs. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2020, HP incurred $13 million and $100 million of other charges, respectively. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2019, HP incurred $3 million and $11 million of other charges, respectively.
