What makes 
this company unique? 
Our character. 
Our capabilities. 
Our choices. 
Our unmatched 
depth and breadth.
And our single -minded 
goal of becoming 
the world’s leading 
technology company.

Dear Fellow Shareowners,

For all the remarkable advancements we
have seen in recent years, nothing has
matched the power of information tech-
nology to change our world. In the next
decade, it will take us to places we can’t
even imagine today. Through all that change,
there is only one company that has taken
a leadership role in applying technology 
at work, at home and at play: HP. 

We are a company unlike any other. It’s a
fact underscored by our leadership across
consumer, small and medium-size business
and enterprise customer categories; by our
presence and leadership in key regions
around the world; and by our uniquely rich
technology portfolio. As proud as we are 
of our capabilities, we are equally proud 
of those things that define our character: 
the dedication of our people, our standards
and values, and the reach and depth of 
our commitment to global citizenship.

For the shareowners, customers and 
employees of HP, fiscal year 2003 was 
a remarkable year in many respects. It was 
a year in which we began to apply the
power of our portfolio, our size and scale
and our global presence to serve customers 
better and to redefine markets. It was a 
year in which HP employees around the
world continued to hold themselves to the
highest standards while executing our
business strategies.

Our financial performance
Not only did we successfully achieve the
largest merger integration in the history 
of our industry, we also fulfilled our promise
and returned all of our major business 
segments to profitability in the fourth
quarter, with leadership across key market
categories, and record, full-year operating
cash flows. HP’s strong fourth-quarter
performance capped a fiscal year in 
which we delivered on our commitments:

We set unit-shipment records across key 
categories including printers, ProLiant servers, 
Superdome servers, notebooks and handhelds. 

We grew revenue and market share 
across key categories and geographies. 

We attained $3.5 billion in merger integration 
and cost savings, exceeding our goal by 
$1 billion—one year ahead of original schedule.

We returned each of our major business 
segments to profitability in the fourth quarter.

We delivered 47 percent earnings-per-share 
improvement on a non-GAAP,1 full-year, 
combined-company 2 basis.

We generated more than $6 billion in cash flow 
from operations, ending the year with a gross
cash and investments3 balance of $14.7 billion.

HP had record unit shipments of 43 million printers
in fiscal year 2003—a rate equivalent to shipping
more than one printer per second.

During the year, we strengthened our 
core printer franchise with double-digit 
revenue growth and continued share 
gains across key business categories and 
geographies. All of this translated to 

a full-year segment operating profit of 
$3.6 billion, with quarterly segment 
operating profit exceeding $1 billion for 
the first time, in the fourth quarter.

HP has firmly established itself as a major player in the 
managed-services market, with major wins in fiscal year 2003
including a $3B, 10-year contract with Procter & Gamble, 
a $600M outsourcing contract with Bank of Ireland and a
€225M strategic outsourcing agreement with Telecom Italia.

HP Services posted strong results in fiscal
year 2003 and continues to provide a 
stable annuity revenue and profit stream. 
The business generated $1.4 billion in 
segment operating profit for the year.

We accelerated momentum in the managed-
services business, with revenue growth of 
22 percent on a full-year, combined-company
basis—four times the market growth rate
and faster than our principal competitor.

At the end of a transition year, we returned 
our enterprise business to profitability and 
set record, full-year unit shipments in our 
ProLiant and Superdome server lines.

As we committed, we returned the
Enterprise Systems Group to profitability 
in the fourth quarter. Segment operating
profit increased $610 million on a full-year,

combined-company basis. During the 
year, we strengthened our products and 
solutions portfolio and gained or held 
share in key categories.

In the fourth quarter, HP notebook unit growth 
was 61 percent year-over-year—almost twice the
growth rate of the market—while handhelds 
grew 117 percent.

We returned the Personal Systems Group 
to profitability for the year, with segment
operating profit up $391 million on a full-
year, combined-company basis. We did this

while gaining share and taking over the
No.1 position in notebooks, the fastest-
growing and most profitable category 
of the PC market.

During the fiscal year, we generated 
$6.1 billion of cash flow from operations.
We closed the year with $14.7 billion 
in gross cash and investments after funding
more than $2.6 billion in restructuring

charges, retirement funding and retention
payments, as well as approximately $750
million in stock repurchases. We also 
had a dividend payout of $977 million—
among the highest yields in the industry.

We launched more than 660 new products in fiscal year
2003 and closed the year with 21,000 patents in force
worldwide, up from 17,000 in fiscal year 2002. This
equates to some 11 patents being generated per day, 
double the rate of fiscal year 2002.

We accomplished all of this while making
significant investments in our future 
competitiveness. For example, we spent
$3.7 billion on R&D, focused in areas 
of innovation where we believe we can
make a unique contribution and lead. 
HP’s patent -generation rate increased to
11 patents per day worldwide. We invested
more than $1 billion in software across 
our portfolio, $600 million in building 
the HP brand, $400 million innovating 
our internal IT systems and $275 million 
in training and developing our people,
and further invested in our direct-sales,
service and support capabilities.

This is a story of performance, but it’s 
primarily a story about HP people. Their
commitment and focus reinforced my 
belief that when the talent and dedication 
of the people of this company are
combined with the hopes and dreams 
of our customers, everything is possible. 

HP’s vision of the market
In addition to our accomplishments this 
past year, HP continues to execute on 
a vision we set our sights on several years
ago. As technology moves from the 
fringe to the core of people’s lives and 

businesses, the need for technology to deliver
more becomes increasingly important. 
Customers are no longer willing to choose
between lower price and higher functionality,
or to trade speed and flexibility for quality
and reliability. The days of either/or
solutions are gone. Customers—from the
CEO of a Fortune10 company to the owner
of the local market—want what we at 
HP call the power of “and”: affordability
and reliability and security and simplicity
and manageability and adaptability and
innovation and connection. 

We have entered an era in which processes
and content are being transformed from static
and analog to digital, mobile and virtual.
Consider a process as simple as photo-
graphy. It used to be that taking a picture
was a physical process—you’d snap a 
picture and then transport the film to a store
to get it developed. Today, that process is
becoming increasingly digital and mobile.
For instance, using an HP digital camera,
you can take a picture, remove the memory
card from the camera, insert it into a slot
on a memory card–enabled HP printer 
on your desk, select photos on the printer’s
readout display and print.

HP is the No.1 consumer IT company in the world, 
the No.1 technology supplier to small and medium-size 
businesses and a leader in enterprise computing, 
with market -leadership positions in virtually every 
technology category and region in which we compete. 

In similar ways, music and entertainment
content are being converted to digital 
bits that can be created and consumed 
in new ways, and this same transformation 
is under way in industries from health care
to financial services to communications to
education. The challenges and opportunities
in these industries will be addressed by 
the application of a wide range of tech-
nology solutions and services—which HP
is uniquely prepared to supply.

What this comes down to is the need to
make a diverse set of technologies work 
better together, to speak a common
language and to network not just devices
but businesses to businesses, employees 
to customers and suppliers to customers. 
In our industry, “common language” trans-
lates to “standards.” Without standards,
there is no connection between stand-alone
islands of technology. Standards are those
technologies that over time have become
broadly adopted by customers: Windows,®
Linux, IA-32 processors and, increasingly,
IA-64 processors are just a few examples. 

HP has been a long-time proponent of open
standards and architectures, and more 
and more customers are seeing the value 

10

in this and seeking us as their technology
provider because of it. We target our R&D
investments on areas in which we can make 
a unique contribution and lead, and which
also run on top of standard platforms.

In short, the market is moving to industry-
standard computing, to virtual and digital
content, and increasingly toward simplicity,
manageability and adaptability. This 
is changing how customers buy and use 
technology, and in some cases, how
companies organize. 

What does it take to capitalize on these
shifts and serve customers in this new 
era? It takes expertise in imaging and 
printing. It takes expertise in personal
access devices and storage, in servers and
systems-management software. It takes 
global presence and leadership in services.
It takes a company with a long heritage 
of leading through IT shifts. It takes a 
company with leadership across multiple
markets and regions. It takes the dedication
and focus of employees around the world. 
In short, it takes HP.

A unique strategy
HP’s depth and breadth are a result of 
deliberate choices. As we have noted for
several years now, technology markets 
are consolidating, with the No.1 and 

The HP corporate strategy
Our strategy is to offer products, services and solutions that are high tech and low cost 
and deliver the best customer experience. No other company has the portfolio, people 
and expertise to deliver on all three.

High tech

Low cost

Customer

Best customer experience

Low cost
HP’s size and scale allow 
us to offer customers not
only competitively priced
products, but also a lower
total cost of ownership over
a solution’s lifecycle. Our
$52 billion supply chain—
the largest in the technology
industry—allows us to
achieve world-class cost
structures and to pass
savings on to customers.

High tech
HP has been a leading 
innovator for nearly seven
decades. We invest almost
$4 billion annually on 
R&D where we believe 
we can make a unique 
contribution and lead, and
we partner for the rest—
leveraging $10 billion-
plus of our partners’ R&D
investments. We are proud
of the fact that we have now
achieved the fastest rate of
innovation in our company’s
history as measured by our
output of new patents and
new products. 

Best customer experience
Because we have a unique
view into a wide range 
of customers, we’re in a
great position to deeply
understand their needs and
then mobilize our resources
to develop technologies,
solutions and services to
deliver a uniquely reward-
ing experience. We’re
focused on improving how
we interact with customers 
at every touch point—
from how they learn about
HP and purchase our 
products, services and 
solutions to how they use
and manage them.

No. 2 players being best positioned for 
sustainable market-share growth and 
profitability. Recognizing this shift inspired
us to get ahead of the trend and actually
drive that consolidation with our merger 
in 2002. Making the necessary changes 
to remain a market leader is hard —
but not making them is even harder. In
response to customer needs and changing
market conditions, we have built a portfolio
that delivers a combination of reliable 
innovation at a price our customers can
afford, with an experience that sets us
apart. We call it “high tech, low cost, 
best customer experience.” 

This is a strategy that draws on our belief
that invention is the soul of innovation, 
and that only those companies that make
R&D a priority today will continue to lead
markets tomorrow. It draws on our belief
that technology should be affordable, 
intuitive and available to everyone and
should deliver the highest possible value 
for the money. It draws on our belief that

how we do things is as important as what
we do. Whether it’s using our products, 
getting information from the website, calling
our support lines for help or engaging with 
our consultants and engineers on a major 
IT consolidation project, that experience
should be outstanding. 

No other company in our industry can 
deliver this value proposition to consumers
and small and medium-size businesses 
and large enterprises and governments, 
all over the world. No other company 
can offer everything from handheld PCs 
to printers to advanced utility data centers.
This gives us a unique ability to stay ahead 
of the market and a distinct competitive
advantage: Our competitors cannot match
our size and scale or our ability to leverage
our experience from one sector to the next.

The power of the portfolio
The fact that we provide such a range 
of technologies is beginning to attract
customers who are increasingly looking 
for a partner that can provide end-to-end
solutions, with technology capabilities 
influenced by and reaching into both 
commercial and consumer markets. 
After all, every small and medium-size 
business customer is also a consumer; 
every enterprise customer is responsible 
for supplying individual employees 
with technology, as well as building out 
data centers.

By hosting all of this customer insight and
technology expertise under one roof, we 
are able to leverage innovation across our
various business segments. Shareowners
reap the rewards when new applications 
of an innovative technology give birth to
high-growth and profitable markets. For
example, our leadership in digital printing
for consumers is helping us aggressively 
target enterprise-wide digital publishing.

HP is a leading technology company in some of 
the world’s fastest-growing IT markets, including 
Russia, China, India, Brazil, Mexico, Eastern Europe 
and the Middle East.

Ensuring growth in the future
Our broad global presence gives us 
the opportunity to capitalize on our deep
understanding of the technology shifts
occurring in the world. How do we ensure
we are doing everything we can to 
consistently deliver customer and share-
owner value, and stay competitive not just
today, but into the future, in emerging 
markets worldwide? 

If we are going to continue to grow and
lead in the next decade and beyond, 
we must acknowledge that many ideas,
employees, products and markets will 
come from the majority of the world that
cannot currently afford IT products. If we
develop even a small portion of this 
potential market, the rewards will be great.
It follows that HP is taking an active role 
in developing both capacity and new 
markets around the world. That is why 
we are the leading technology company 
in some of the world’s fastest-growing IT
markets. We are facing an unprecedented
opportunity to tap new markets in a way
that’s beneficial for our business, while

demonstrating good global citizenship—
to do well by doing good—a hallmark 
of this corporation for nearly 70 years.

On a macro level, we actively engage 
with other multinational corporations, 
non-governmental organizations (NGOs)
and world governing bodies to reignite 
competitiveness at home and abroad
through policy and strategy that support 
a free-market economy. This is not only
essential to maintaining HP’s competi-
tiveness, it is critical to fostering human
rights in countries that do not have open
economies or a democratic society. In 
many cases, information and communi-
cations technology (ICT) opens the door 
to sustainable growth in areas where it
would not have been otherwise possible.
We continue to participate in—and in
some cases lead—efforts in the United
Nations ICT task force and the World 
Economic Forum, to bring business 
insight and a legacy of corporate social 
responsibility to their initiatives.

14

Frankly, however, it’s at the local level 
that our engagement model is most 
satisfying. Governments are recognizing
that in an Information Age, an educated
populace is the key to growing new
markets and competing in a global 
economy. In partnership with local 
governments, NGOs and other private 
companies, HP is taking an active role 
to encourage development while working 
to close the gap between technology-
empowered and technology-excluded
communities, through a model of engage-
ment we call the “i-community.” What’s
perhaps most important and unique 
about i-communities is our commitment 
to them as a model of growth and market
development: their focus on sustainability
and replicability, and their foundation 
of collaboration, responsible engage-
ment, relevant technology solutions and 
innovation for unexplored markets.

A company unlike any other
HP is not like any other company—nor do
we aspire to be. We are unique because 
of the choices we have made, the portfolio
we have built and the character that
defines us. We are unique because of how
we leverage our size and scale to serve 
a broad spectrum of customers. We are
unique because we play a role in the world
that shapes the technology landscape
through our ability to give rise to innovation
and entirely new markets. We are unique 
in our value proposition to customers and 
in our commitment to corporate social
responsibility. Most of all, we are unique 
in our outlook: In an era when information
technology is taking us to places we never
even imagined, we truly believe that the
combination of HP people and technology,
and the ambitions of our customers and
partners, make more things more possible. 

This is a company that knows how to 
make the tough decisions and necessary
investments to stay competitive. We have
stayed on course and delivered on what 

15

we promised two years ago in terms of
market-share measures and cost efficiencies.
Clearly, that which is unique about HP
serves our shareowners and customers well
today—and positions us to take advantage
of opportunities in the future. 

We enter 2004 with an unprecedented
leadership opportunity before us and 
a clear intent to capitalize on what sets 
us apart, to the benefit of our customers, 
our shareowners and our employees. 

Thank you for your continued support of HP.

As more

A unique portfolio serving a range of customers
processes become digital, mobile 
and virtual, people need easy access
to all types of information, wherever
they happen to be. We’re moving to 
a world where people might check 
e -mail from a handheld PC, print
digital photos directly from a camera,
hold a virtual business meeting from 
a sofa at Starbucks and re -allocate
storage resources in their company’s
data center—all in the same day. 

This blurring of distinctions between 
work and home is something HP 

20

is particularly suited to address. 
We understand the needs of each
audience and provide them with
technology that helps them succeed,
whether they’re at work, in transit or 
at home. In addition, HP’s dedication
to using open architectures and
standards, our breadth of industry 
and retail partners and our focused
innovation in areas such as mobility,
rich digital media, security and
management software uniquely 
position us to deliver information and
services to our customers wherever
they are, whenever they need them.

Serving enterprise customers 

In a world where every business decision triggers an IT event, 
CIOs must balance traditional IT requirements—managing costs,
mitigating risk, increasing their quality of service—with a new
requirement to improve business agility: Technology must help
businesses adapt. CIOs are looking for a single point of 
accountability—an IT partner that will collaborate with them 
and leverage their technology investments across their businesses
while providing end-to-end solutions. CEOs know that all parts 
of their business have to work better together, and that vertical,
standalone islands of technology result in trapped information
and lost productivity. And both CEOs and CIOs are demanding 
a measurable and improving return on their IT investments—
whether hosted in -house or outsourced. 

In May 2003, HP launched the Adaptive Enterprise, our vision 
and approach to address these needs. Our standards-based 
IT framework, the Darwin Reference Architecture, provides a 
step-by-step approach to creating a business-process-oriented, 
horizontal IT environment that dynamically allocates IT resources
where they’re needed, in real time. Darwin was designed around
principles that make it easy for CIOs to integrate heterogeneous 
IT environments to simplify, standardize, modularize and integrate
the components of IT infrastructure into a uniform system that 
is easy to manage and modify. Applying the experience of HP 
Services and leveraging our full expertise from the Darwin frame-
work to handheld devices, we collaborate with customers 
to build a powerful platform for managing change. 

HP and Starbucks 

HP is delivering adaptive enterprise solutions that help
Starbucks balance tremendous expansion with IT costs, while
also allowing them to enrich what they call “the Starbucks
experience.“ When the company discovered that many of its
30 million customers were seeking Internet access on the go,
it decided to enhance the customer experience by providing 
a high-speed Wi-Fi network. To offer this service, Starbucks
partnered with HP and T-Mobile—recognizing our unique
expertise in building IT infrastructures that support mobility
and rich media, and our understanding of how people use
devices such as PCs and handhelds. 

HP installed much of the equipment that makes the Wi-Fi
network work and developed free, downloadable software 
that allows customers to configure their wireless-enabled 
notebooks or handhelds to automatically sense and connect 
to the T-Mobile HotSpot network when they enter a Starbucks.
Additionally, HP’s Content Delivery System is helping Starbucks
deliver rich digital content over the Wi-Fi network for its
customers to enjoy while they relax and sip their beverages.
For example, Starbucks recently provided customers with the
opportunity to experience an exclusive interview with pop 
musician Sheryl Crow, hear the music that influenced the
singer and download tracks to their mobile devices. While
many customers enjoy the entertainment content, others use 
the Wi-Fi network to check e -mail and do business when
they’re away from the office.

Serving small and medium-size businesses

Small and medium-size businesses (SMBs) have told us they’re 
not looking for just an easy technology purchase at an affordable 
price; they need reliability, ease -of-ownership and a helpful, local 
IT partner to provide ongoing support—so they can focus on 
their businesses rather than on technology. 

In fiscal year 2003, we made a concerted effort to solidify our
offerings, our partner network and R&D capabilities to better
address SMBs’ technology needs. This was encapsulated in our
Smart Office launch in September, a comprehensive and sustained
effort to make the entire technology experience—purchasing, 
financing, installing, operations and support—more reliable, 
less complicated and more efficient. This $750 million initiative
includes more than 200 products, solutions and services designed
for SMB customers. The HP Smart Office bundles reliable infra-
structure, computing, printing and mobility products and solutions
that work easily together, with helpful financing options and 
dedicated service and support, at a price SMBs can afford.

With more than 200,000 sales partners worldwide, HP has the
ability to provide local expertise and customer support. We’re
also training value -added resellers to provide local support 
everywhere our customers are located.

27

HP and Powerski

For Powerski, as for many small and medium-size businesses, 
IT is critically important. When the company began engineering
and testing its revolutionary new motorized surfboard, also
known as a jetboard, it turned to HP for powerful workstations
to run Parametric Technology Corporation’s (PTC) suite of
sophisticated CAD software. As the project advanced and 
Powerski moved from concept to mass production, PTC devel-
oped more complex software that demanded ever-increasing
computing horsepower. Powerski was pleased to find that as
its needs increased, so too did the capabilities and offerings 
of HP’s suite of workstations.

Today, HP Workstation xw8000 models running PTC’s software
allow Powerski to model all of the jetboard’s components, 
check for fit and performance, develop assembly details and
evaluate service needs. With the Compaq Evo N800w 
Workstation, Powerski’s engineering team can make engine
adjustments on-site and in real time, greatly reducing develop-
ment time. The HP mobile workstations have performed
flawlessly, even in the most demanding conditions on sandy
beaches. Powerski’s IT infrastructure is 100 percent HP, with 
HP ProLiant servers enabling the team to collaborate and 
connect their notebooks, desktop PCs and workstations across
a variety of business functions, including marketing and 
digital content-creation for ads and publicity.

Serving consumers 

HP is also the world’s leading consumer IT company. Our products
and solutions can be found in 110,000 retail outlets and in more
than 170 countries, where we reach millions of consumers.

As processes become digital, mobile and virtual, traditional
consumer electronic devices, such as TVs and stereos, are merging
with IT products, including PCs and digital projectors. HP has a
unique opportunity to lead in the growing digital-photography 
and digital-entertainment markets.

Complexity is one of consumers’ biggest barriers to using new 
technology. With this in mind, in August 2003, HP introduced 
more than 100 digital-photography and digital-entertainment 
products, including the instantly popular DVD Movie Writer, new
notebook PCs, Media Center PCs, all-in-ones, the industry’s first 
consumer 8-ink photo printer and improved digital-photography 
software, digital cameras, scanners and supplies. These products
and solutions were designed to work easily together, with the 
intent of radically simplifying the customer experience.

HP and Tricia Vance

Tricia records life as she sees it: her friends at the park, 
a funny street sign, her parents relaxing in their living room, 
a cute boy on the bus. After years of using a traditional
camera and film, Tricia made the transition to digital. She
would rather perfect her composition and subject matter than
fuss with technology. Tricia’s criteria for a new photography
solution: easy-to -use technology and high-quality results. 
Now, using a suite of intuitive HP digital-photography products,
she easily clicks, prints and shares her favorite shots. 

Like Tricia, people all over the world are choosing HP 
digital-photography products and solutions for their simplicity
and quality. Many HP digital cameras feature built-in lighting 
technology that automatically corrects light, shade and glare.
Industry-leading HP photo printers have perfected printing of
black-and-white, grayscale and color photos. Sending pictures
to the PC and printer is simple, thanks to HP Instant Share 
technology, which lets people choose photos for automatic 
e -mailing, printing and sharing when they dock the camera.
LCD screens and memory-card readers on the front of the 
printer make it easy to print directly from the camera, without
using a PC or USB cable. And a common digital-photography
software and user interface across HP digital-photography
products makes it easy for people to take photos and create
scrapbooks, stickers, T-shirt decals and cards—and organize
and store photos for future use.

32

33

HP has 

Unique dedication to global citizenship
always been very thoughtful about 
its role in the world. We exist not only 
to drive shareowner value, but also 
to make a contribution to society. 
On one hand, this means recognizing 
how our actions fit into a larger eco-
system of causes and effects. It also
means playing a direct role in the 
communities in which we operate 
and being good corporate citizens.

34

Responsible global citizenship requires
that we uphold the highest possible
standards of integrity, and conduct 
our affairs with the highest degree 
of transparency and accountability. 
It includes living up to the best
possible standards in environmental
performance, customer privacy and
human rights—in short, it means being
a company that our employees 
and shareowners can be proud of.

35

In 2003, HP donated 
more than $62 million 
in cash and equipment
worldwide. 

We commit our time and resources 
to global citizenship for four reasons.

First, because it‘s simply the right thing to do. We live in 
a world where half the population lives on $2 a day; where 
1 billion people cannot read or write. At a time when 52 
of the world’s 100 largest economies are corporations, the
reach and resources of multinational companies can make an
enormous difference. HP does business in more than170 
countries, including many economies that are under-developed
or developing. We have found that we can help bring about
positive change in ways that sometimes even governments 
do not. Not only can we hold our suppliers to high standards, 
for example, but when we apply our resources—committing 
not just time and money, but people and products—we
become a catalyst for change, because governments, NGOs,
community leaders and other companies are more willing 
to make a commitment themselves.

The second reason is that the global movement to enforce
labor, environmental and economic standards is maturing, 
and we have an important role to play in that debate. 
Three years ago, the United States and Jordan signed the 
first U.S. trade agreement that links trade with labor and 
environmental rights. In the past two years, the European
Union, the United Nations and the World Bank have all
launched new efforts to require reporting on sustainability

36

by 86 percent. 

issues. The movement is likely to grow stronger, and as a 
company, we can sit passively and wait to be regulated, 
or we can take control and use our experience to help bring
more sustainability and predictability to a chaotic world.

The third reason is that, increasingly, shareowners and
customers are rewarding companies that achieve social 
change through business. In the United States alone, there 
are approximately 200 socially responsible mutual funds
today, with assets of $162 billion. At the same time, our 
global citizenship efforts help retain, motivate and empower
employees. People want to work with, and for, a company 
they feel pride in.

Finally, global citizenship is good for the top and bottom lines
—particularly in an industry where less than 10 percent of 
the world’s population can afford to buy IT products. If we 
look ahead not just to the next quarter, but to the next decade,
it’s clear that many of the markets, consumers, ideas, partners 
and employees we need in order to grow will come from 
the other 90 percent. HP has found that getting directly
involved in sustainable development and education projects 
in the developing world—and in under-accessed and under-
privileged communities in the developed world—allows us to
invent products that we never would have imagined otherwise
and open new markets, while building relationships with 
partners, customers and employees in the process.  

37

HP was one of the first
global businesses to
achieve ISO 14001 
certification for our 
worldwide manufacturing
operations.

38

Only 7 percent of 
the world’s people 
have access to a PC 
and 4 percent to the 
Internet, according 
to the World Bank.

HP’s involvement in global citizenship efforts
takes many forms, including:

e-inclusion. The gap between technology-empowered and
technology-excluded communities is often referred to as 
the digital divide, and HP has taken a unique approach to 
bridging this gap. While many corporations enter emerging
markets via philanthropic programs, HP is working to build 
a new model of involvement, committing not just money and
products, but also our employees and our business expertise 
to provide people in developing economies and underserved
communities with access to information and communications
technology. Our intent is to create sustainable solutions, 
gain market insight into each population and ultimately 
open new markets.

As part of our e -inclusion program, we develop what we 
call i-communities, in which we put teams of people in the
most under-accessed and under-privileged communities in 
the world—from a Native American reservation outside 
San Diego, to the village of Kuppam, India, to a rural village 
in Mogalakwena, South Africa—to work for up to three years
at a time on projects with local citizens to help them define
and then meet their goals. Through significant investment in
education and training, capacity-building and partnerships
with local governments and NGOs, we are ensuring that the 
i-communities will become self-sustaining after HP completes 
its engagement. In the process, we are developing culturally 

39

Fortune 50 company 
to self-certify with

the U.S. Department 
of Commerce and the 
European Commission.

appropriate, affordable solutions to match the communities’
needs, bringing those innovations and learnings back into HP,
and then taking them to scale for replication in other regions
of the world. 

The environment. Given that we sell millions of products 
annually, we are conscious of the impact HP products have 
on the environment. We are committed to providing products
and services that are environmentally sound through their
lifecycles, conducting our operations in an environmentally
responsible way and establishing health and safety practices
and work environments that help minimize the risk of injury 
to HP employees. We believe this is fundamental to both our
global citizenship and our long-term business success.

HP’s ability to meet these objectives rests on four pillars: 
First, we manage and monitor the environmental performance
of our company through our Environmental, Health and 
Safety Management System, which includes regular audits 
of our sites. Second, through our HP Design for Environment
program, we focus on design to improve the energy efficiency,
materials innovation and the recyclability of our products.
Third, we’ve invested in state -of-the -art recycling programs 
in order to offer customers a return-recycling service for many 
HP products, providing an environmentally sound end-of-life
solution to reduce waste and conserve resources. Our Planet
Partners recycling program, operating in 20 countries, provides
a facility for customers to return computer hardware and HP

print cartridges so we can recycle them. Finally, we manage
our $52 billion supply chain to improve our environmental 
performance, following a Supply Chain Social and 
Environmental Responsibility policy with a Supplier Code 
of Conduct that addresses employment, environment, health
and labor policies, and safety practices. 

Education. Good education is essential to the advancement 
of information technology, which requires people skilled in
computer science and electrical engineering. In too many
regions of the world, not enough people are being trained 
in these subjects to keep up with the pace of change. In 
2003, HP invested millions of dollars in education around 
the world —from educational grants targeted at institutions
serving low-income and ethnically diverse students, to
equipment, technical support and services to schools and 
universities. Thousands of HP employees worldwide also 
dedicated their time to tutor in schools. 

Employee giving. Our annual U.S. Charitable Giving
Campaign matches employee giving with company funds, 
up to $1,000 per employee. We run similar programs in
Canada and Singapore, and are looking for ways to 
extend the programs globally. In our 2003 annual giving 
campaign, the U.S. campaign raised $10.6 million through
employee and company cash contributions combined, 
as well as product gifts valued at $1.6 million.

41

HP has a long 
A unique focus on innovation
history of invention and innovation;
our goal this year has been to ensure
that our technology and business 
strategies are completely interlinked, 
so that our invention serves distinct
business goals and adds differentiated
value for our customers. We invest
in areas where we believe we can
make a unique contribution and lead,
and partner for the rest. Specifically,
HP R&D is now focused on four key
growth areas—rich digital media,
mobility, management software and
security—which can be leveraged
across the breadth of our offerings to

42

benefit a wide spectrum of customers.
After all, enterprises, SMBs and
consumers might have different needs,
but often the technology requirements
to meet those needs are the same: that it
be easy to use and manage. Our tech-
nology delivers on these requirements,
while also serving our strategy of
delivering high-tech, low-cost solutions
with the best customer experience. 
In addition to the focused areas of
innovation, HP Labs continues to
research future -looking technologies
such as nanotechnology, to ensure 
we are investing in long-term growth
and competitiveness. 

43

Rich digital media

Rich digital media is one of the four
areas of innovation we’re focusing 
on. The explosion of demand for 
digital content anywhere, anytime, 
has sparked huge growth in content 
production and distribution, as well 
as new business models for creating,
delivering, accessing, storing and 
protecting it. Voracious consumption 
of digital content in turn requires 
tools to manage it. Not only do we
develop the market-leading devices
people use to create and access 
digital media, but we also offer soft-
ware that helps them easily manage
and store their digital assets. On an
enterprise scale, we leverage our
expertise to provide content-delivery
and storage -management systems 
for companies such as Starbucks 
and image -rendering capability to
DreamWorks and others to enhance
their feature -animation projects.

44

SecurityMobility

Network and communications technology has made it 
possible to conduct business and access digital information
almost anywhere. New services let people stay productive
while on the go; meanwhile, the decline in demand for
voice services has sparked an imperative for network 
service providers (NSPs) to offer data services to leverage
their network investments and satisfy customers. HP has 
a long history of innovation in the area of mobility, with
leadership in handhelds and notebooks to fault-tolerant
servers, which form the backbone of the telecommunications
industry. Specifically, we’re driving the next wave of mobile
productivity with our leadership in public and wireless
local-area networks (deploying more than 2,900 Wi-Fi 
hot spots worldwide) and by applying imaging software,
drivers and Bluetooth printing technology so that people
can print from their mobile phones. Through our HP
Services teams, NSP support teams and device innovation,
we’re delivering seamless connectivity and simplified
billing as people use their wireless devices and wander
between Wi-Fi and General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)
zones. Finally, we’re focusing on Internet-protocol (IP)
telephony technology to leverage IP networks for voice and
video communication—driving cost savings for service
providers and consumers alike. 

45

Management software

Management software helps satisfy two of the biggest 
demands enterprise customers have in this new era of 
technology. They need to easily manage and control all the
IT assets at their disposal—whether those are in the data
center or in the hands of mobile employees or consumers.
They also require better use of those assets, ensuring that
they’re getting the greatest efficiency out of their IT investment.
HP is increasing its focus on management software through 
additional investments in HP OpenView, and acquisitions 
of software businesses such as Talking Blocks, SelectAccess
and Persist Technologies. We are also in partnership with
companies, including Microsoft and BEA, to increase the
sophistication of how services and assets are managed 
and used across the enterprise. The HP Utility Data Center
(UDC) models an IT environment in which all heterogeneous
data center assets are managed and utilized automatically;
several customers, including Philips’ semiconductor division,
reap the benefits of HP’s UDC offering already. Our focus 
on management software also extends into the consumer
space because seamless asset management on the back 
end translates to a flawless, simple experience on the front
end when consumers use PDAs and printers or when they 
try to manage MP3 content or digital images on their 
home technology.

46

Security

Security is top of mind for consumers
and businesses alike. Consumers 
want to know that their personal 
information and privacy are honored
by the companies they do business
with, especially over wireless networks; 
businesses want to stay in business 
by inoculating their networks against
security threats, protecting their intel-
lectual property and applying unique
organic models to automate protection.
Our contribution will help our business
customers stay up and running in spite
of threats and attacks on systems,
which today have become a common
occurrence. We will continue to
protect consumers’ privacy by putting
customers in control of indicating how
their information will be used, and by
participating in Safe Harbor, the de
facto global standard for enabling the
safe and legal transfer of personal
data across national borders. By lever-
aging our IT infrastructure technology,
management software, partnerships
and services, we bolster our reputation
for ensuring trustworthy technology
and interactions.

Forward-looking statements
This document contains forward-looking statements that involve 
risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they never
materialize or prove incorrect, could cause the results of Hewlett-
Packard Company and its consolidated subsidiaries to differ
materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact 
are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements,
including any projections of earnings, revenue, costs or other 
financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives
of management for future operations; any statements concerning 
proposed new products, services, developments, anticipated
performance of products or services, or industry or product 
rankings; any statements regarding future economic conditions 
or performance; any statements of belief; and any statements of
assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. The risks, uncertainties
and assumptions referred to above include the performance of 
contracts by vendors, customers and partners; employee management
issues; the challenge of managing asset levels, including inventory;
the difficulty of aligning expense levels with revenue changes; 
complexities of global political and economic developments; and
other risks and assumptions that are described from time to time 
in HP’s Securities and Exchange Commission reports, including but 
not limited to the annual report on form 10 -K for the year ended
October 31, 2003, and reports filed after the form 10 -K.

Use of non-GAAP financial information
To supplement our consolidated condensed financial statements 
presented in accordance with United States generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP), HP uses non -GAAP additional 
measures of operating results, net earnings and earnings per share
adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses we
believe appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our 
past financial performance and also our prospects for the future.
These adjustments to our GAAP results are made with the intent 
of providing both management and investors a more complete
understanding of the underlying operational results and trends and
our marketplace performance. For example, the non -GAAP results
are an indication of our baseline performance before gains, losses
or other charges that are considered by management to be outside
of our core business segment operational results. In addition, these
adjusted non -GAAP results are among the primary indicators man-
