Filed October 15, 2025For Securities:HPEHPE-PC

Summary

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) announced a significant organizational realignment effective the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. The company will merge its Server, Hybrid Cloud, and Financial Services segments into a new "Cloud & AI" segment. Additionally, the Telco and Instant On businesses will be moved from Networking to "Corporate Investments and Other." This restructuring aims to better align with strategic priorities and improve performance evaluation. While the segment realignment is primarily an operational change with no immediate impact on previously reported consolidated financial results, retrospective data for fiscal 2025 and 2024 has been provided to reflect the new structure. Furthermore, HPE provided combined historical financial information for HPE and Juniper Networks, a necessary step as the company progresses with its acquisition of Juniper. While this combined information is presented for informational purposes and is not prepared under Regulation S-X, it offers a supplemental view of the potential scale and scope of the combined entity. Investors should exercise caution and not place undue reliance on this data, as it does not reflect pro forma adjustments or integration synergies. The company also announced a $3 billion increase to its share repurchase authorization, signaling a commitment to returning capital to shareholders, and provided an update on Juniper integration plans, including estimated workforce reduction costs.
