Fiscal 2017 has been a tremendous year for HP and we are just getting started. We've delivered reliable earnings and cash flow, taken profitable share, driven productivity, stabilized our core businesses, and importantly, we grew, said Dion Weisler, President and Chief Executive Officer, HP Inc. We are well positioned to lead in the core, accelerate growth opportunities, like A3 and Graphics in Printing and commercial transformation in Personal Systems, and capture the future with 3D Printing in plastics and now metals.

Fiscal 2018 outlook

For fiscal 2018, the company estimates GAAP diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations to be in the range of $1.69 to $1.79 and estimates non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share to be in the range of $1.74 to $1.84. Fiscal 2018 non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share estimates exclude after-tax costs primarily related to items such as restructuring and other charges, acquisition-related charges, defined benefit plan settlement charges, amortization of intangible assets, non-operating retirement-related credits/(charges), net tax indemnifications, net valuation allowances and discontinued operations. Based on the current environment, HP anticipates generating free cash flow of at least $3.0 billion for fiscal 2018.

HP expects to return 50%-75% of annual free cash flow to shareholders. In fiscal 2018, the company indicated that it expects to be towards the higher end of that range, with a 5% increase in the planned quarterly dividend amount, and the balance returned to shareholders through share repurchases.

HP has been building strong business momentum, demonstrating our strategy is working. said Cathie Lesjak, Chief Financial Officer. We expect to continue our momentum in fiscal 2018. We have shown that we can deliver in the short-term, while also positioning ourselves for long-term success.
