Explanatory Note
This amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K furnished by Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (“HPE” or the “Company”) on February 7, 2024 (the “Original 8-K”) is being furnished to update the previously disclosed segment re-alignment and the fiscal 2023 and 2022 financial results (on a quarterly and full year basis) that retrospectively reflected such segment re-alignment, which was previously furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the Original 8-K.
Item 2.02Results 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, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
As previously disclosed, effective as of the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2024, in order to align the segment financial reporting more closely with its business structure, the Company established a new reportable segment, Hybrid Cloud, which includes the historical Storage segment, HPE GreenLake Flex Solutions (which provides flexible as-a-service IT infrastructure through the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform and was previously reported under the Compute and the High Performance Computing & Artificial Intelligence ("HPC & AI") segments), Private Cloud, and Software (previously reported under the Corporate Investments and Other segment). Additionally, certain products and services previously reported in the financial results for the HPC & AI segment were moved to be reported in the Compute and Hybrid Cloud segments, and the Athonet business and certain components of the Communications and Media Solutions business previously reported in the financial results for Corporate Investments and Other moved to be reported in the Intelligent Edge segment.

Upon further evaluation and re-examination of the organizational and leadership changes that took place during the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker, who is the Chief Executive Officer, concluded that it was further appropriate to combine the Compute and HPC & AI segments, as described above, into a newly established reportable segment, the Server segment.

As a result, the Company’s new organizational structure consists of the following segments: (i) Server; (ii) Hybrid Cloud; (iii) Intelligent Edge; (iv) Financial Services; and (v) Corporate Investments and Other. The Company will report under this re-aligned segment structure beginning with the results of the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

The Company has reflected these changes to its segment information retrospectively to the fiscal 2023 and 2022 financial results, which 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.
The Company has released revised quarterly and full year segment results for fiscal 2023 and 2022, which are attached hereto Exhibit 99.1 and are incorporated herein by reference, which reflect financial results for those periods that are updated from those furnished with the Original 8-K, to reflect the combining of the Compute and HPC & AI segments into a newly established Server reportable segment.

(a) As previously disclosed, effective as of the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2024, in order to align the segment financial reporting more closely with its business structure, the Company established a new reportable segment, Hybrid Cloud, which includes the historical Storage segment, HPE GreenLake Flex Solutions (which provides flexible as-a-service IT infrastructure through the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform and was previously reported under the Compute and the High Performance Computing & Artificial Intelligence ("HPC & AI") segments), Private Cloud, and Software (previously reported under the Corporate Investments and Other segment). Additionally, certain products and services previously reported in the financial results for the HPC & AI segment were moved to be reported in the Compute and Hybrid Cloud segments, and the Athonet business and certain components of the Communications and Media Solutions business previously reported in the financial results for Corporate Investments and Other moved to be reported in the Intelligent Edge segment.
Upon further evaluation and re-examination of the organizational and leadership changes that took place during the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker, who is the Chief Executive Officer, concluded that it was further appropriate to combine the Compute and HPC & AI segments, as described above, into a newly established reportable segment, the Server segment.
As a result, the Company’s new organizational structure consists of the following segments: (i) Server; (ii) Hybrid Cloud; (iii) Intelligent Edge; (iv) Financial Services; and (v) Corporate Investments and Other. The Company will report under this re-aligned segment structure beginning with the results of the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
The Company has reflected these changes to its segment information retrospectively to the fiscal 2023 and 2022 financial results, which 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.
