據(jù)《華爾街日報》網(wǎng)絡版報道,惠普第二財季凈利潤同比增長18%,但營收再次下降。截至4月30日的第二財季,惠普營收同比下降1%至273.1億美元,不及湯森路透預計的274.1億美元?;萜毡硎?,本次裁員是重組計劃的一部分。
去年12月份,惠普已經(jīng)正式確認將裁減3.4萬名員工,再加上周四新宣布的這項計劃,其裁員總數(shù)已經(jīng)達到了4.5萬人到5萬人。

在公布2014財年第二季度財報以后,惠普首席執(zhí)行官梅格·惠特曼(Meg Whitman)在隨后召開的財報電話會議上表示,此次裁員活動將覆蓋公司旗下的所有業(yè)務部門和所有地區(qū)。分析師在會上就這項修改后的計劃提出了諸多問題,指出這家公司一直都在不停地調高裁員目標。有位分析師甚至向惠特曼施壓,要求她承諾這是最終的裁員數(shù)字。
惠特曼對這位分析師作出的回應是:“隨著上半財年的結束,我高興地宣布惠普的轉型計劃依舊按部就班。在此之后,我預計不會再有額外的(裁員)計劃?!?
惠特曼堅持聲稱,不斷擴大裁員規(guī)模的原因并非對惠普實現(xiàn)營收增長的能力缺乏信心,只是因為她總是會發(fā)現(xiàn)這家公司需要在更多的領域中進行精簡?!拔襾淼竭@里的時間越久,就越是能發(fā)現(xiàn)更多的機會。我們認為這是件好事?!彼f道?;萏芈J為,通過裁減員工的方式,惠普能“更容易地”開展運營工作,同時還能削減成本。
惠普首席財務官凱茜·萊斯加克(Cathie Lesjak)向分析師表示,擴大后的裁員計劃能讓惠普多節(jié)省10億美元資金?;萜沾饲邦A計,裁員3.4萬人將可節(jié)省30億美元到40億美元資金。

惠普就此發(fā)表聲明稱:“惠普在2012年5月份采取了一項多年期的重組計劃,目標是簡化業(yè)務流程、加快創(chuàng)新速度、降低成本和交付更好的業(yè)績。惠普此前估測,在這項計劃中需要裁減3.4萬名員工。隨著惠普繼續(xù)調整勞動力以增強自身競爭能力和實現(xiàn)業(yè)績目標,此前估測的裁員數(shù)字將會增加1.1萬人到1.6萬人?!?
惠普在去年12月份正式宣布,將原計劃的2.9萬人裁員計劃的規(guī)模擴大5000人。而根據(jù)惠普在2012年5月份公布的最初重組計劃,該公司當時計劃裁減2.7萬名員工,這一消息是由Business Insider最早報道的。
2013年10月份,惠特曼曾表示,一旦這一波裁員計劃完成,則該公司不會再度開展大規(guī)模的裁員活動。她在當時承諾稱:“2014年以后我們不會再進行大規(guī)模的重組活動?!?
惠普曾在2012年首次宣布裁員時表示,無論最終的裁員數(shù)字是多少,裁員計劃預計都將在2014年10月份以前完成,也就是在惠普的2014財年底以前完成。
惠普表示,目前該公司的員工總數(shù)為33.1萬人。

HP Plans 16,000 More Layoffs
Rick Merritt
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Hewlett-Packard will lay off another 16,000 workers on top of 34,000 layoffs it already announced. The move could save up to an additional billion dollars a year by 2016 on top of the maximum $4 billion savings previously anticipated.
The layoffs will come across all HP's product divisions and geographical locations. About 7,000 of the new layoffs will come before the end of HP's 2014 fiscal year and the rest before the end of 2015.
On a quarterly earnings call, HP chief executive Meg Whitman took a hammering from Wall Street analysts, clearly surprised by the magnitude of the numbers. Whitman announced her turnaround plan in May 2012 estimating layoffs of 27,000. The numbers were later boosted to 29,000, then 34,000 and now are estimated at a total 50,000
Analysts asked if Whitman had lost confidence in HP's ability to grow revenues.
"This has nothing to do with our confidence in business, it's about opportunities to make this company better," Whitman said. "I've done a number of turnarounds -- not at this scale -- but you see more opportunities the deeper you get in," she said.
Executives have been studying additional opportunities to streamline the company since last year, signaling along the way more layoffs could come, added HP's CFO.
Whitman noted HP has had three quarters of flat revenues after several quarters of revenue declines of 6& to 9%. "That's encouraging to me because you have to stabilize before you grow," she said.
Although HP's divisions might have their own layoff plans to deal with specific business issues in the future, "I do not anticipate another [corporate restructuring] program after this," Whitman said.
Several analysts on the call asked about the layoffs. Although Whitman seemed slightly off balance at the first question, which took an unusually challenging tone, she quickly regained her footing and provided increasingly confident answers, including the following:
This company has been through a lot -- the acquisitions of Compaq and EDS, the acquisitions of 11 to 20 software companies. Part of what we are doing is integrating, streamlining the system, automating processes which have not been done in a while
No company likes to decrease the workforce. I think our employees live it every single day. Our employees know we can be more efficient. They are our biggest sources of ideas.
I don't think anyone likes this, but I think we've done a good job of explaining where we are at.
My outlook has actually not changed in where we are at in our turnaround and our return trajectory. I'm feeling more confident because we have seen a stabilization of revenues and I really like our product road maps.
Many people said this is the best product line up we have had in a decade. We need to run this co more efficiently in terms of ease of doing business and being faster, nimbler in decision making.
In its second quarter, HP reported GAAP net revenues of $27.3 billion up 1% from the same period last year. Profits were up 18% to $1.3 billion.
Across its major business groups, HP reported:
Personal Systems revenue was up 7% year-over-year with a 3.5% operating margin. Total units were up 10% with desktops units up 6% and notebooks units up 6%.
Printing revenue was down 4% year-over-year with a 19.5% operating margin. Total hardware units were up 1%.
Enterprise Group revenue was down 2% year-over-year with a 14.4% operating margin.
X86 servers revenue was up 1%, storage revenue was down 6%, Itanium server revenue was down 14% and networking revenue was up 6%.
Enterprise Services revenue was down 7% year-over-year with a 2.5% operating margin.
Software revenue was flat year-over-year with a 19.2% operating margin.
