Outlook
HP estimates fourth quarter FY08 revenue will be approximately $30.2 billion to $30.3 billion.
Fourth quarter FY08 GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be approximately $0.95 to $0.97 and non-GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be approximately $1.01 to $1.03. Fourth quarter FY08 non-GAAP diluted EPS estimates exclude after-tax costs of approximately $0.06 per share, related primarily to the amortization of purchased intangibles.
These estimates do not reflect the anticipated financial impact of HP's acquisition of Electronic Data Systems Corporation, which is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of FY08.
