- Net Earnings (Loss) Attributable to HPE
- The net earnings demonstrate significant volatility over the analyzed period. Starting at $2,461 million in 2015, earnings peaked at $3,161 million in 2016 before sharply declining to $344 million in 2017. A recovery is noted in 2018, with earnings rising to $1,908 million, followed by a decrease to $1,049 million in 2019. The year 2020 reflects a considerable net loss of $322 million, indicating operational challenges or extraordinary expenses. Subsequently, earnings recovered robustly to $3,427 million in 2021, but dropped again in 2022 to $868 million, before increasing to $2,025 million in 2023. Overall, the trend indicates volatility with periods of both significant gains and losses.
- Net Revenue
- Net revenue displays a declining trend from 2015 to 2017, falling from $52,107 million to $28,871 million, representing a substantial reduction. From 2017 onwards, the revenue remains relatively stable with minor fluctuations, oscillating between approximately $26,982 million and $29,135 million through 2023. This suggests stabilization after a period of significant contraction, though no clear growth trend is evident in the latter years.
- Net Profit Margin
- The net profit margin follows the earnings trend with notable fluctuations. The margin starts at 4.72% in 2015, reaching a high of 6.31% in 2016, then dropping sharply to 1.19% in 2017. It recovers to 6.18% in 2018 but declines again to 3.6% in 2019, turning negative at -1.19% in 2020, consistent with the recorded net loss. The margin peaks at 12.33% in 2021, indicating an exceptional profitability year, before decreasing to 3.05% in 2022 and rising again to 6.95% in 2023. This variability underscores fluctuating profitability relative to revenue performance.
