“We delivered a solid quarter of revenue and non-GAAP EPS growth, while returning significant capital to shareholders,” said Enrique Lores, HP President and CEO. “Collectively, our key growth businesses grew double digits and drove $5.6 billion in revenue in the first half of the year. Our consistent performance in the face of a volatile macro environment gives us confidence in our plans to build a stronger HP.”
In its earnings presentation HP said that with its workforce solutions it has seen a year-on-year double-digit revenue growth, with strength in Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) offsetting the gradual recovery in Managed Print Services (MPS). Consumer services saw its instant ink programme scaled further as cumulative enrolees and revenue grew double-digits, driven by improved adoption worldwide across its installed base.
