COVID-19 Response
The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented global health and economic challenges. From the start of this crisis, HP’s number one priority has been the health and well-being of our employees. At the same time, we have marshalled our technology and resources to help address urgent needs in our communities. 

• HP and its partners have to-date produced an estimated 2.3 million 3D printed parts for face shields, face masks, respirators, ventilators, and other items for distribution to hospitals.
• We have leveraged the scale of our global supply chain to source and distribute face masks to medical facilities facing shortages.
• We have launched a series of global education partnerships to make it easier for teachers and students to connect from a distance.
• Together with the HP Foundation, we are donating millions of dollars in products and grants to support response and relief efforts.
• We have also taken actions to protect the broader HP ecosystem, including a variety of relief initiatives to help our channel partners weather the operational and financial challenges they face.

“The strength of HP’s diversified portfolio, go-to-market capabilities and balance sheet position us well to navigate macroeconomic challenges and drive long-term value creation,” said Enrique Lores, HP’s President and CEO. “We are seeing strong demand from our customers in notebook PC orders and Instant Ink subscriptions, as well as growing interest in 3D printing and digital manufacturing in key verticals such as healthcare. The current environment will be a catalyst for transformation and innovation across HP.”

As a result, HP will not be providing an outlook for the fiscal year 2020.
