⁽¹⁾: Net earnings (loss) available to participating securities were not significant for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2013 and 2012. HP considers restricted stock that provides the holder with a non-forfeitable right to receive dividends to be a participating security.
⁽²⁾: For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2012, HP excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share 4 million shares and 15 million shares, respectively, potentially issuable under employee stock plans, as their effect, if included, would have been anti-dilutive.
