HP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1: Overview and Basis of Presentation
Overview
On November 1, 2015 (the "Distribution Date"), Hewlett-Packard Company completed the separation of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company ("Hewlett Packard Enterprise"), Hewlett-Packard Company's former enterprise technology infrastructure, software, services and financing businesses (the "Separation"). In connection with the Separation, Hewlett-Packard Company changed its name to HP Inc. ("HP").
On the Distribution Date, each of HP's stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 21, 2015 (the "Record Date") received one share of Hewlett Packard Enterprise common stock for every one share of HP common stock held as of the Record Date. Hewlett Packard Enterprise is now an independent public company trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "HPE". HP distributed a total of approximately 1.8 billion shares of Hewlett Packard Enterprise common stock to HP's stockholders. After the Separation, HP does not beneficially own any shares of Hewlett Packard Enterprise common stock.
In connection with the Separation, HP and Hewlett Packard Enterprise entered into a separation and distribution agreement as well as various other agreements that provide a framework for the relationships between the parties, including among others a tax matters agreement, an employee matters agreement, a transition service agreement, a real estate matters agreement, a master commercial agreement and an information technology service agreement. For more information on the impacts of these agreements, see Note 5, "Retirement and Post-Retirement Benefit Plans", Note 6, "Stock-Based Compensation", Note 7, "Taxes on Earnings", Note 14, "Litigation and Contingencies" and Note 15, "Guarantees, Indemnifications and Warranties".
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements of HP and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are prepared in conformity with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal adjustments that are necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. This interim information should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015 in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on December 16, 2015 and in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 27, 2016. The Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet for October 31, 2015 was derived from audited financial statements.
After the Separation, HP no longer consolidates the financial results of Hewlett Packard Enterprise within its financial results of continuing operations. For all the periods prior to the Separation, the financial results of Hewlett Packard Enterprise are presented as net earnings from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings and assets and liabilities from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Fiscal 2015 information in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements have been revised to reflect the effect of the Separation, except for balances related to stockholders' (deficit) equity. The historical statements of comprehensive income and cash flows have not been revised to reflect the effect of the Separation. For further information on discontinued operations, see Note 2, "Discontinued Operations".
Principles of Consolidation
The Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements include the accounts of HP and its subsidiaries and affiliates in which HP has a controlling financial interest or is the primary beneficiary. HP presents non-controlling interests as a separate component within Total stockholders' (deficit) equity in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in HP's Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Note 1: Overview and Basis of Presentation (Continued)

Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance which requires credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, not based on incurred losses. Further, credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities should be recorded through an allowance for credit losses limited to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost. HP is required to adopt the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Earlier adoption is permitted. HP is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance which amends the existing accounting standards for share-based payments. The amendment changes the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statements of cash flows. HP is required to adopt the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Earlier adoption is permitted. HP is currently evaluating the timing and the impact of this guidance on its Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance which amends the existing accounting standards for leases. Consistent with current guidance, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification. Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with lease terms of more than twelve months. HP is required to adopt the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 using a modified retrospective approach. HP is currently evaluating the timing and the impact of this guidance on its Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance which amends the existing accounting standards for the recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. The updated guidance primarily addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. HP is required to adopt the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The amendments should be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption, with other amendments related specifically to equity securities without readily determinable fair values applied prospectively. HP is currently evaluating the timing and the impact of this guidance on its Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
In April 2015, the FASB amended the existing accounting standards for intangible assets. The amendment provides explicit guidance to customers in determining the accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement, wherein the arrangements that do not convey a software license to the customer are accounted for as service contracts. HP is required to adopt the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2017; however early adoption is permitted. The amendment may be adopted either prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date or retrospectively. HP is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
In April 2015, the FASB amended the existing accounting standards for imputation of interest. The amendment requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by this amendment. HP is required to adopt the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The amendment should be applied retrospectively with the adjusted balance sheet of each individual period presented, in order to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. HP is currently evaluating the timing and the impact of this guidance on its Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
In May 2014, the FASB amended the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. The amendment is based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard update for a one-year deferral of the effective date, with an option of applying the standard on the original effective date, which for HP is the first quarter of fiscal 2018. In accordance with this deferral, HP is required to adopt these amendments in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The amendments may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. HP is continuing to evaluate the impact of this guidance and the transition alternatives on its Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

Note 2: Discontinued Operations
On November 1, 2015, HP completed the Separation of Hewlett Packard Enterprise. After the Separation, HP does not beneficially own any shares of Hewlett Packard Enterprise common stock.
In connection with the Separation, HP and Hewlett Packard Enterprise have entered into a separation and distribution agreement as well as various other agreements that provide a framework for the relationships between the parties, including among others a tax matters agreement, an employee matters agreement, a transition service agreement, a real estate matters agreement, a master commercial agreement and an information technology service agreement. These agreements provided for the allocation between HP and Hewlett Packard Enterprise of assets, employees, liabilities and obligations (including investments, property, employee benefits and tax-related assets and liabilities) attributable to periods prior to, at and after the Separation and govern certain relationships between HP and Hewlett Packard Enterprise after the Separation.
After the Separation, HP no longer consolidates the financial results of Hewlett Packard Enterprise within its financial results of continuing operations. For all the periods prior to the Separation, the financial results of Hewlett Packard Enterprise are presented as net earnings from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings and assets and liabilities from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. For all the periods after the Separation, discontinued operations includes separation costs primarily related to third-party consulting, contractor fees and other costs.

Note 3: Segment Information
HP is a leading global provider of personal computing and other access devices, imaging and printing products, and related technologies, solutions and services. HP sells to individual consumers, small- and medium-sized businesses ("SMBs") and large enterprises, including customers in the government, health and education sectors.
HP's operations are organized into three segments for financial reporting purposes: Personal Systems, Printing and Corporate Investments. HP's organizational structure is based on a number of factors that the chief operating decision maker uses to evaluate, view and run its business operations, which include, but are not limited to, customer base and homogeneity of products and technology. The segments are based on this organizational structure and information reviewed by HP's chief operating decision maker to evaluate segment results. The chief operating decision maker uses several metrics to evaluate the

Note 3: Segment Information (Continued)

performance of the overall business, including earnings from operations, and uses these results to allocate resources to each of the segments.
A summary description of each segment is as follows:
        Personal Systems provides commercial personal computers ("PCs"), consumer PCs, workstations, thin clients, tablets, retail point-of-sale systems, calculators and other related accessories, software, support and services for the commercial and consumer markets. HP groups commercial notebooks, commercial desktops, commercial services, commercial tablets, commercial detachables, workstations, retail point-of-sale systems and thin clients into commercial clients and consumer notebooks, consumer desktops, consumer services, consumer tablets and consumer detachables into consumer clients when describing performance in these markets. Described below are HP's global business capabilities within Personal Systems.
Commercial PCs are optimized for enterprise and SMB customers, with a focus on robust designs, security, serviceability, connectivity, reliability and manageability in networked environments. Additionally, HP offers a range of services and solutions to enterprise and SMB customers to help them manage the lifecycle of their PC and mobility installed base.
Consumer PCs are notebooks, desktops, and hybrids that are optimized for consumer usage, focusing on multi-media consumption, online browsing, and light productivity.
        Printing provides consumer and commercial printer hardware, supplies, media, solutions and services, as well as scanning devices. Printing is also focused on imaging solutions in the commercial markets. HP groups LaserJet, graphics and PageWide printers into Commercial Hardware and Inkjet printers into Consumer Hardware when describing performance in these markets. Described below are HP's global business capabilities within Printing.
LaserJet and Enterprise Solutions delivers HP's LaserJet printers, supplies and solutions to SMBs and large enterprises. HP goes to market through its extensive channel network and directly with HP sales. Ongoing key initiatives include design and deployment of A3 products and solutions for the copier and multifunction printer market, printer security solutions, PageWide Enterprise solutions, and award-winning JetIntelligence products.
Inkjet and Printing Solutions delivers HP's consumer, SMB, and PageWide Inkjet solutions (hardware, supplies, media, and web-connected hardware and services). Ongoing initiatives and programs such as Instant Ink and newer initiatives such as Continuous Ink Supply System provide innovative printing solutions to consumers and SMBs.
Graphics Solutions delivers large format printers (DesignJet, Large Format Production, and Scitex Industrial), specialty printing, digital press solutions (Indigo and PageWide Presses), supplies and services to print service providers and design and rendering customers.
Print Solutions provides end-to-end services, as well as core platforms to develop and deploy services across printing systems. HP's focus includes driving customer value through managed print services and providing support solutions for new and existing customers.
        Corporate Investments include HP Labs and certain business incubation projects, among others.
The accounting policies used to derive segment results are substantially the same as those used by the Company in preparing the financial statements. HP derives the results of the business segments directly from its internal management reporting system. Segment net revenue includes revenues from sales to external customers and intersegment revenues that reflect transactions between the segments on an arm's-length basis. HP's consolidated net revenue is derived and reported after the elimination of intersegment revenues from such arrangements.
HP does not allocate certain operating expenses, which it manages at the corporate level, to its segments. These unallocated costs include certain corporate costs, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, amortization of intangible assets, defined benefit plan settlement credits, non-operating retirement-related credits and intersegment eliminations.

Segment Reporting Changes
Effective at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal 2016, HP implemented a reporting change to provide better transparency to its segment operating results. This reporting change resulted in the exclusion of certain market-related factors such as interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortized actuarial gains or losses, and impacts from other market-related factors related to its defined benefit pension and post-retirement benefit plans from its segment operating results ("Non-operating retirement-related credits/(charges)"). This change also resulted in the exclusion of certain plan curtailments, settlements and special termination benefits related to its defined benefit pension and post-retirement benefit plans from HP's segment operating results. Segment operating results will continue to include service costs and amortization of prior service costs associated with HP's defined benefit pension and post-retirement benefit plans. The reporting change had an immaterial impact to previously reported segment net revenue and earnings from operations and had no impact on HP's previously reported consolidated net revenue, earnings from operations, net earnings or net earnings per share ("EPS").

Note 4: Restructuring and Other Charges
Fiscal 2015 Plan
In connection with the Separation, on September 14, 2015, HP's Board of Directors approved a cost savings plan which includes labor and non-labor actions which will be implemented through fiscal 2016. HP estimates that it will incur aggregate pre-tax charges up to $300 million which relate to workforce reductions, real estate consolidation and other non-labor charges. HP expects approximately 3,000 employees will exit by the end of fiscal 2016.
During the nine months ended July 31, 2016, HP announced a voluntary phased retirement program ("PRP") for certain qualified employees. Qualified employees will retire gradually over a defined period of time and at the end of which they will receive severance and certain benefits. HP recognized charges aggregating $29 million during the nine months ended July 31, 2016 related to the PRP.
The following table summarizes the cost saving plan activities in the three and nine months ended July 31, 2016.

Plan credit allocation relates to the employees of HP covered under Hewlett Packard Enterprise plans or employees of Hewlett Packard Enterprise covered under HP plans.
Employer Contributions and Funding Policy
HP's policy is to fund its pension plans so that it makes at least the minimum contribution required by local government, funding and taxing authorities.
During the nine months ended July 31, 2016, HP contributed $15 million to its non-U.S. pension plans, paid $24 million to cover benefit payments to U.S. non-qualified plan participants, and paid $24 million to cover benefit claims under HP's post-retirement benefit plans. During the remainder of fiscal 2016, HP anticipates making additional contributions of approximately $3 million to its non-U.S. pension plans and approximately $9 million to its U.S. non-qualified plan participants and expects to pay approximately $11 million to cover benefit claims under HP's post-retirement benefit plans.
HP's pension and other post-retirement benefit costs and obligations depend on various assumptions. Differences between expected and actual returns on investments and changes in discount rates and other actuarial assumptions are reflected as unrecognized gains or losses, and such gains or losses are amortized to earnings in future periods. A deterioration in the funded status of a plan could result in a need for additional company contributions or an increase in net pension and post-retirement benefit costs in future periods. Actuarial gains or losses are determined at the measurement date and amortized over the remaining service life for active plans or the life expectancy of plan participants for frozen plans.
Lump Sum Program
During the third quarter of fiscal 2016, HP offered a program whereby certain terminated vested participants of the HP Inc. Pension Plan ("Pension Plan") could elect to take a one-time voluntary lump sum payment equal to the present value of future benefits.  This program closed on July 29, 2016.  Approximately 17,000 plan participants elected to receive lump sum

payments which they will receive from plan assets in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.  Settlement expense will be recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. 

In January 2015, HP offered certain terminated vested participants of the Pension Plan the option of receiving their pension benefit in a one-time voluntary lump sum during a specified window. As a result of the lump sum program, HP recognized a settlement credit of approximately $72 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015. As a result of the settlement, additional net periodic benefit cost of $8 million was recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2015, which offset the actuarial gain from the settlement and was recognized in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings as Defined benefit plan settlement credits.

Note 6: Stock-Based Compensation
HP's stock-based compensation plans permit the issuance of restricted stock awards, stock options and performance-based awards.
Stock-based compensation expense and the resulting tax benefits from continuing operations were as follows:

_______________________________________________________________________________
(1) 
In connection with the Separation and in accordance with the employee matters agreement, HP has made certain adjustments to the exercise price and number of stock-based compensation awards with the intention of preserving the intrinsic value of the awards prior to the Separation. The pre-tax stock-based compensation expense due to the adjustments was $2 million and was recorded during the three months ended January 31, 2016. All outstanding restricted stock awards and stock options for employees transferred to Hewlett Packard Enterprise were cancelled (the "Cancelled Awards") in connection with the Separation.
Restricted Stock Awards
Restricted stock awards are non-vested stock awards that may include grants of restricted stock or restricted stock units. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, HP granted only restricted stock units. HP uses the closing stock price on the grant date to estimate the fair value of service-based restricted stock units. HP estimates the fair value of restricted stock units subject to performance-adjusted vesting conditions using a combination of the closing stock price on the grant date and the Monte Carlo simulation model. For the three months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, HP did not grant any restricted stock units subject to performance-adjusted vesting conditions. The weighted-average fair value and the assumptions used to measure fair value of restricted stock units subject to performance-adjusted vesting conditions in the Monte Carlo simulation model were as follows:

At July 31, 2016, there was $201 million of unrecognized pre-tax stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock awards, which HP expects to recognize over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 1.4 years.
Stock Options
HP utilizes the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula to estimate the fair value of stock options subject to service-based vesting conditions. HP estimates the fair value of stock options subject to performance-contingent vesting conditions using a combination of a Monte Carlo simulation model and a lattice model, as these awards contain market conditions.

The weighted-average fair value was based on stock options granted during the period.

(2) 
For all awards granted in fiscal 2016, expected volatility was estimated using the leverage-adjusted average of the term-matching volatilities of peer companies due to the lack of volume of forward traded options, which precluded the use of implied volatility. For all awards granted in fiscal 2015, expected volatility was estimated using the implied volatility derived from options traded on HP's common stock.

For awards subject to service-based vesting, due to the lack of historical exercise and post-vesting termination patterns of the post-Separation employee base, the expected term was estimated using a simplified method for all awards granted in fiscal 2016 and the expected term was estimated using historical exercise and post-vesting termination patterns for all awards granted in fiscal 2015; and for performance-contingent awards, the expected term represents an output from the lattice model.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value that option holders would have realized had all option holders exercised their options on the last trading day of the third quarter of fiscal 2016. The aggregate intrinsic value is the difference between HP's closing stock price on the last trading day of the third quarter of fiscal 2016 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options. The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2016 was $14 million and $21 million, respectively.
At July 31, 2016, there was $22 million of unrecognized pre-tax, stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options, which HP expects to recognize over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 1.9 years.
Note 7: Taxes on Earnings
Tax Matters Agreement and Other Income Tax Matters
In connection with the Separation, HP entered into the TMA with Hewlett Packard Enterprise, effective on November 1, 2015, that governs the rights and obligations of HP and Hewlett Packard Enterprise for certain pre-Separation tax liabilities. The TMA provides that HP and Hewlett Packard Enterprise will share certain pre-Separation income tax liabilities. In certain jurisdictions, HP and Hewlett Packard Enterprise have joint and several liability for past income tax liabilities and accordingly, HP could be legally liable under applicable tax law for such liabilities and required to make additional tax payments.
In addition, if the distribution of Hewlett Packard Enterprise's common shares to the HP stockholders is determined to be taxable, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and HP would share the tax liability equally, unless the taxability of the distribution is the direct result of action taken by either Hewlett Packard Enterprise or HP subsequent to the distribution, in which case the party causing the distribution to be taxable would be responsible for any taxes imposed on the distribution.
Upon completion of the Separation on November 1, 2015, HP recorded income tax indemnification receivables from Hewlett Packard Enterprise for certain income tax liabilities that HP is jointly and severally liable for, but for which it is indemnified by Hewlett Packard Enterprise under the TMA. The actual amount that Hewlett Packard Enterprise may be obligated to pay HP could vary depending upon the outcome of certain unresolved tax matters, which may not be resolved for several years. The net receivable as of July 31, 2016 was $1.1 billion.

Note 7: Taxes on Earnings (Continued)

Provision for Taxes
HP's effective tax rate for continuing operations was 22.0% and 23.7% for the three months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and 21.7% and 22.2% for the nine months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. HP's effective tax rate generally differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to favorable tax rates associated with certain earnings from HP's operations in lower-tax jurisdictions throughout the world. HP has not provided U.S. taxes for all foreign earnings because HP plans to reinvest some of those earnings indefinitely outside the U.S.
In the three and nine months ended July 31, 2016, HP recorded discrete items resulting in net tax expense of $14 million and net tax benefit of $72 million, respectively, for continuing operations. These amounts included a tax benefit of $8 million and $46 million, for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2016, respectively, on restructuring and other charges. The nine months ended July 31, 2016 also included a tax benefit of $41 million arising from the retroactive research and development credit provided by the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016 signed into law in December 2015.
In the three and nine months ended July 31, 2015, HP recorded discrete items resulting in net tax expense of $28 million and $12 million, respectively. These amounts included a tax benefit of $1 million and $8 million for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2015, respectively, on restructuring and other charges, and tax expense of $7 million and $36 million for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2015, respectively, related to provision to return adjustments and other tax expense of $22 million and $12 million for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2015, respectively. The nine months ended July 31, 2015 also included a tax benefit of $28 million arising from the retroactive research and development credit provided by the Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014 signed into law in December 2014.
Uncertain Tax Positions
As of July 31, 2016, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $9.6 billion, of which up to $3.4 billion would affect HP's effective tax rate if realized. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits increased by $385 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2016, primarily related to advanced royalty payments, the majority of which are indemnified by Hewlett Packard Enterprise. HP continues to record its tax liabilities related to uncertain tax positions and certain liabilities for which it has joint and several liability with Hewlett Packard Enterprise. During the nine months ended July 31, 2016, as part of the Separation, HP distributed liabilities related solely to uncertain tax positions associated with Hewlett Packard Enterprise aggregating $732 million. HP and Hewlett Packard Enterprise have contractually agreed to share the responsibility of certain tax exposures, and as such have recorded indemnification assets and liabilities pursuant to the TMA. HP recognizes interest income from favorable settlements and interest expense and penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for taxes in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. As of July 31, 2016, HP had accrued $153 million for interest and penalties.
HP engages in continuous discussion and negotiation with taxing authorities regarding tax matters in various jurisdictions. HP does not expect complete resolution of any IRS audit cycle within the next 12 months. However, it is reasonably possible that certain federal, foreign and state tax issues may be concluded in the next 12 months, including issues involving transfer pricing and other matters. Accordingly, HP believes it is reasonably possible that its existing unrecognized tax benefits may be reduced by an amount up to $5 million within the next 12 months.
Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities
In 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-17, "Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes", which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes. This guidance requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as non-current in a classified statement of financial position. HP early adopted the FASB's new accounting guidance prospectively for the interim period beginning November 1, 2015; thus, the prior reporting period was not retrospectively adjusted.
HP periodically engages in intercompany advanced royalty payment arrangements that may result in advance payments between subsidiaries in different tax jurisdictions. When the local tax treatment of the intercompany licensing arrangements differs from U.S. GAAP treatment, deferred taxes are recognized. During the nine months ended July 31, 2016, HP executed intercompany advanced royalty payment arrangements resulting in advanced payments of $1.1 billion. During fiscal 2015, HP executed an intercompany advanced royalty payment arrangement which resulted in advanced payments of $3.8 billion, with a deferral of intercompany revenues over the term of the arrangements, which is approximately 5 years. There was no recognition of any net U.S. deferred tax assets as a result of this transaction. In these transactions, the payments were received in the U.S.

HP has third-party arrangements, consisting of revolving short-term financing, which provide liquidity to certain partners in order to facilitate their working capital requirements. These financing arrangements, which in certain circumstances may contain partial recourse, result in a transfer of HP's receivables and risk to the third party. As these transfers qualify as true sales under the applicable accounting guidance, the receivables are derecognized from the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets upon transfer, and HP receives a payment for the receivables from the third party within a mutually agreed upon time period. For arrangements involving an element of recourse, the recourse obligation is measured using market data from the similar transactions and reported as a current liability in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The recourse obligations as of July 31, 2016 and October 31, 2015 were not material. As of July 31, 2016 and October 31, 2015, HP had $114 million and $93 million, respectively, outstanding from the third parties, which is reported in Accounts receivable in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The costs associated with the sales of trade receivables for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2016 and July 31, 2015 were not material.

Note 9: Fair Value
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Fair Value Hierarchy
HP uses valuation techniques that are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are developed using market data such as publicly available information and reflect the assumptions market participants would use, while unobservable inputs are developed using the best information available about the assumptions market participants would use. Assets and liabilities are classified in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement:
Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and market-corroborated inputs.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to observable inputs and lowest priority to unobservable inputs.
