Hewlett-Packard's 4th fiscal quarter results were slightly better than expected, led by a 9 percent increase in commercial printing hardware units installed.
The company reported that revenue for the quarter was $29.1 billion, down 3 percent from the prior year period, and earnings per share were 73 cents, up from a loss of $3.49 per share in the previous year period.
"Through improved execution, strong cost management, and with the support of our customers and partners, HP ended fiscal 2013 on a high note," said Meg Whitman, HP president and chief executive officer. "Our Q4 results demonstrate that HP's turnaround remains on track heading into fiscal 2014. While we still have much more work to do, our business units and their core assets are delivering on HP's strategy to help customers thrive by providing solutions for the New Style of IT."
