Hewlett-Packard profits miss forecasts
NEW YORK, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Computer and printer maker Hewlett-Packard Co. (NYSE:HWP -
news) on Monday reported fourth-quarter earnings that were far short of Wall Street
expectations because of margin pressures, adverse currency effects, higher-than-expected
expenses, and business mix.
Palo Alto, Calif.-based Hewlett-Packard also said it had terminated talks to buy the consulting
business of PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Hewlett-Packard reported fiscal fourth-quarter earnings per share of 41 cents, excluding
investment and divestiture gains and losses, the effects of stock appreciation rights and
balance sheet translation, and restructuring expenses. Analysts had been expecting 51 cents
per share, according to research firm First Call/Thomson Financial.
Hewlett-Packard Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Carly Fiorna said she was
``very disappointed that we missed our (earnings per share) growth target this quarter due to
the confluence of a number of issues that we now understand and are urgently addressing. I
accept full responsibility for the shortfall.''
