[1] During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, in connection with the HPE Next initiative, the Company determined that certain assets met the criteria to be classified as Assets held for sale. The Company expects these assets to be sold within the next twelve months.

[2] During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2015-03, which simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring debt issuance costs to be presented as a deduction from the corresponding debt liability rather than an asset that is amortized. The Company adopted the standard retrospectively for the prior period presented.
