HP to cut up to 16,000 more jobs
HP announced plans to cut up to 16,000 more jobs, as it struggles to return to profitable growth. In its latest restructuring plan started in May 2012, the company estimated job losses at 34,000. It now says that number will increase by 11,000 to 16,000. 

The announcement came alongside its quarterly report, showing revenues for the three months to April down 1 percent year-on-year to USD 27.3 billion. Net profit for the fiscal second quarter was up 20 percent to USD 0.66 per share, at the top of HP's guidance. Adjusted EPS was in line with expectations at USD 0.88, up 1 percent from year ago. 

HP reported sales down at all divisions, except Personal Systems, where revenue rose 7 percent and it achieved a 3.5 percent operating margin. PC shipments rose 10 percent, with desktops and notebooks each growing 6 percent. HP's operating cash flow was down 16 percent to USD 3.1 billion, and it spent USD 831 million in the quarter on share repurchases. It finished the period with USD 15.4 billion in cash.

For fiscal Q3, HP estimated adjusted EPS of USD 0.86-0.90 and reported EPS of USD 0.59-0.63. The adjusted figure excludes 27 cents a share in costs such as amortization of intangible assets and restructuring charges. Annual EPS is expected to reach USD 2.68-2.80.
