HP Inc. and its subsidiaries announced fiscal 2025 second quarter net revenue of $13.2 billion, up 3.3% (up 4.5% in constant currency) from the prior-year period.

“In Q2, we delivered solid revenue growth, led by strong Commercial performance in Personal Systems and continued momentum behind our future of work strategy,” said Enrique Lores, president and CEO, HP Inc. “While results in the quarter were impacted by a dynamic regulatory environment, we responded quickly to accelerate the expansion of our manufacturing footprint and further reduce our cost structure. These decisive actions strengthen our foundation and position us to deliver long-term sustainable growth.”

“In light of the increased macroeconomic uncertainty, we have adjusted our outlook to reflect moderated demand and the net impact of trade-related costs,” said Karen Parkhill, CFO, HP Inc.  “We are executing targeted mitigation strategies, and assuming current conditions remain, we expect to fully offset these costs by Q4.”

HP’s net cash provided by operating activities in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was $38 million. HP generated $(95) million of free cash flow in the second quarter. Free cash flow includes net cash provided by operating activities of $38 million adjusted for net investments in leases from integrated financing of $50 million and net investments in property, plant, equipment and purchased intangible of $183 million.

Fiscal 2025 second quarter segment results include:
• Personal Systems net revenue was $9 billion, up 7% year over year (up 8% in constant currency) with a 4.5% operating margin. Consumer PS net revenue was up 2% and Commercial PS net revenue was up 9%. Total units were up 6% with Consumer PS units down 2% and Commercial PS units up 11%.
• Printing net revenue was $4.2 billion, down 4% year over year (down 3% in constant currency) with a 19.5% operating margin. Consumer Printing net revenue was down 3% and Commercial Printing net revenue was down 3%. Supplies net revenue was down 5% (down 3% in constant currency). Total hardware units were up 1%, with Consumer Printing units up 3% and Commercial Printing units down 2%.

For fiscal 2025, HP anticipates generating free cash flow in the range of $2.6 to $3.0 billion.  HP’s outlook reflects the added cost driven by the current U.S. tariffs in place, and associated mitigations.
