HP Inc. (NYSE:HPQ)

The annual revenue data indicates distinct trends across various segments and product categories over the period from 2013 to 2018.

Personal Systems

The Personal Systems segment, comprising Notebooks, Desktops, Workstations, and Other products, showed fluctuating but generally positive growth. Notebooks revenue increased steadily from 16,029 million US$ in 2013 to 22,547 million US$ in 2018, demonstrating a strong upward trend. Desktops experienced a decline from 12,844 million US$ in 2013 to a low of 9,956 million US$ in 2016, followed by a recovery to 11,567 million US$ in 2018. Revenue from Workstations decreased gradually until 2016 but showed a moderate increase thereafter. The Other category also exhibited a gradual increase over the years. Overall, Personal Systems revenue rose from 32,071 million US$ in 2013 to 37,661 million US$ in 2018, reflecting steady growth despite some volatility.

Printing

The Printing segment, including Supplies, Commercial Hardware, and Consumer Hardware, exhibited a mixed performance. Supplies revenue declined consistently from 15,716 million US$ in 2013 to 11,875 million US$ in 2016, then showed some recovery to 13,575 million US$ by 2018. Commercial Hardware revenue also declined from 5,702 million US$ in 2013 to 3,973 million US$ in 2017 but rebounded to 4,674 million US$ in 2018. Consumer Hardware saw a significant drop until 2016 but experienced a sharp increase thereafter, nearly doubling from 1,254 million US$ in 2016 to 2,556 million US$ in 2018. Consequently, total Printing revenue decreased overall from 23,854 million US$ in 2013 to 18,260 million US$ in 2016 but recovered somewhat to 20,805 million US$ by 2018.

Enterprise Group and Enterprise Services

Data for Enterprise Group and associated segments such as Industry Standard Servers, Technology Services, Storage, Networking, Business Critical Systems, Infrastructure Technology Outsourcing, Application and Business Services, Enterprise Services, Software, and HP Financial Services is available only up to 2015. Within this timeframe, the Enterprise Group's revenues remained relatively stable, moving slightly from 28,183 million US$ in 2013 to 27,907 million US$ in 2015. However, many subcategories, including Technology Services and Enterprise Services, experienced declines, indicating potential challenges in sustaining revenue levels. Software and HP Financial Services also showed a mild downward trend within these years.

Overall revenue and other items

Net revenue for the company peaked in 2013 at 112,298 million US$ and decreased each subsequent year through 2015 to 103,355 million US$. Post-2015 data indicates a sharp drop to 48,238 million US$ in 2016, with gradual increases in 2017 and 2018 reaching 58,472 million US$. The sudden decrease corresponds with a change in reporting or segmentation, as total segments revenue also dropped significantly in 2016. The "Other" category showed negative values in earlier years but returned to near zero by 2018, likely reflecting adjustments or reclassifications.

Corporate Investments

This category remained minimal and volatile, fluctuating between 5 and 302 million US$, indicating it is not a significant contributor to the overall revenue.

In summary, the data reveals growth primarily in the Personal Systems segment, primarily driven by Notebooks, and a recovery in Printing-related revenues after a mid-period decline. Enterprise-related revenues showed a declining trend until 2015, with missing data thereafter, complicating further analysis. The overall revenue decrease around 2016 suggests possible structural or reporting changes impacting the top-line figures.
