[8-K] Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co Reports Material Event

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced a forthcoming segment realignment and capital return update. Effective at the start of fiscal Q1 2026, HPE will merge Server, Hybrid Cloud, and Financial Services into a new Cloud & AI segment, move Telco and Instant On to Corporate Investments and Other, and continue Networking as a separate segment. HPE will report under this structure beginning with fiscal Q1 2026.

Historical segment data for fiscal 2024 and the first three quarters of 2025 have been recast and, per HPE, did not change previously reported consolidated net revenue, net earnings, EPS, or total assets. HPE also furnished summary combined historical information for HPE and Juniper Networks as a simple summation (not Article 11 pro forma) and cautioned it is not indicative of past or future combined results.

HPE’s Board approved a $3 billion increase in the share repurchase authorization with no expiration. Integration actions following the Juniper acquisition include workforce reductions with an estimated cost of approximately $240 million.

Equity & Accounting Analyst

HPE realigns segments, ups buybacks by $3B, and outlines $240M integration costs.

HPE will report three segments—Cloud & AI, Networking, and Corporate Investments and Other—starting fiscal Q1 2026. Prior periods (fiscal 2024 and the first three quarters of 2025) are recast for comparability. The company states these changes did not affect consolidated net revenue, net earnings, EPS, or total assets, which helps preserve continuity for headline metrics.

The Board increased the share repurchase authorization by $3 billion, with no expiration, indicating potential for ongoing capital returns depending on future decisions. HPE also detailed integration actions for Juniper, including workforce reductions costing approximately $240 million. HPE furnished combined HPE+Juniper historical figures as a simple summation, not Article 11 pro forma, and cautioned that they are not indicative of actual or future combined performance.

Item 2.02			Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
The information contained in this Item 2.02 and in the accompanying Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Forthcoming Segment Realignment

Effective at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2026, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company ("Hewlett Packard Enterprise," "HPE," or the "Company") plans to implement an organizational change by (i) merging the Server, Hybrid Cloud, and Financial Services business segments into a new segment named Cloud & AI and (ii) transferring the Telco and Instant On businesses to Corporate Investments and Other from Networking. Commencing in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the information regularly provided to, and reviewed by, the chief operating decision maker, who is the Chief Executive Officer, for purposes of resource allocation and performance evaluation will reflect the revised segment structure.

The Company’s new organizational structure will consist of the following segments: (i) Cloud & AI, (ii) Networking, and (iii) Corporate Investments and Other. The Company will report under this re-aligned segment structure beginning with the results of the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

The Company reflected these expected changes to its segment information retrospectively for the three completed fiscal quarters of 2025 and the quarterly and full year fiscal 2024 financial results, which are included in Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto under the header “Segment Realignment” and are incorporated herein by reference. These changes to segments primarily resulted in the realignment of net revenue and operating profit for each of the segments as described above. These changes had no impact on Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s previously reported consolidated net revenue, net earnings, net earnings per share or total assets.

Summary Combined Company Financial Information

The Company is also providing combined historical financial information of the Company (according to the aforementioned forthcoming organizational structure) and Juniper Networks, Inc. ("Juniper Networks"). Hewlett Packard Enterprise believes this provides a supplemental view to help better understand the Company and its networking business. The Company is releasing such retrospective information for the three completed fiscal quarters of 2025 and the quarterly and full year fiscal 2024 financial results, which are included in Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto under the header “Combined Company Financial Information” and are incorporated herein by reference.

The summary combined company financial information includes certain combined company financial information that is based on historical financial information reported by HPE and Juniper Networks. This combined company financial information represents the summation of the standalone financial information reported by HPE and the standalone financial information reported by Juniper Networks. This combined company financial information has not been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and does not give effect to the pro forma adjustments that might be required in connection with the preparation of pro forma financial information in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, and is not indicative of what the combined company’s performance would have been had HPE and Juniper Networks been a combined company for the periods presented. As a result, the combined company financial information could materially differ from financial information determined in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. HPE and Juniper Networks have different fiscal years: HPE’s fiscal year ends on October 31, and Juniper Networks’ fiscal year ended on December 31. This combined company financial information is based on available quarterly financial information of HPE and Juniper Networks according to their respective quarterly periods, and no calculations or adjustments have been performed to reconcile the differences in the differing quarterly reporting periods. In addition, the combined company financial information

does not reflect future changes or future events resulting from the Juniper Networks acquisition that may occur, including restructuring activities or other costs related to the integration of the HPE and Juniper Networks businesses, and does not consider potential impacts of current market conditions on revenues, expense efficiencies or asset dispositions.

As a result, investors should not place any undue reliance on the combined company financial information. The combined company financial information is for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have actually occurred had the Juniper Networks acquisition been completed as of the dates indicated, nor is such combined company financial information indicative of the future operating results or financial position of the combined company.

Item 7.01			Regulation FD Disclosure.
The information contained in this Item 7.01 and in the accompanying Exhibit 99.2 shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
