Fiscal 2026 Plan On November 25, 2025, HP’s Board of Directors approved the Fiscal 2026 Plan intended to drive customer satisfaction, product innovation, and productivity through artificial intelligence adoption and enablement that HP expects will be implemented through fiscal 2028. HP expects to reduce global headcount by approximately 4,000 to 6,000 employees. HP estimates that it will incur pre-tax charges of approximately $650 million relating to labor and non-labor actions. HP expects to incur approximately $400 million in labor costs related to workforce reductions and expects the remaining costs to relate to non-labor actions and other charges. Fiscal 2023 Plan On November 18, 2022, HP’s Board of Directors approved the Fiscal 2023 Plan intended to enable digital transformation, portfolio optimization and operational efficiency that HP implemented through fiscal 2025. The Fiscal 2023 Plan is substantially complete. HP does not expect any further significant costs associated with the plan. Approximately 9,500 employees departed as part of the plan through a combination of employee exits and voluntary EER. HP incurred $873 million in severance costs and $347 million in infrastructure costs related to non-labor and other charges. Other Charges Other charges include non-recurring costs, including those as a result of information technology rationalization efforts and transformation program management costs, and are distinct from ongoing operational costs. These costs primarily relate to third-party professional services and other non-recurring costs. HP incurred $78 million, $68 million and $83 million of other charges in fiscal year 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
