HP excludes stock options and restricted stock units where the assumed proceeds exceed the average market price from the calculation of diluted net EPS, because their effect would be anti-dilutive. The assumed proceeds of a stock option include the sum of its exercise price and average unrecognized compensation cost. The assumed proceeds of a restricted stock unit represents average unrecognized compensation.
