Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (HPE - Free Report) just released its 2017 first quarter financial results, posting earnings of 45 cents per share and revenues of $11.4 billion.

Beat earnings estimates. The company posted earnings of 45 cents per share (excluding 29 cents from non-recurring items), beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 44 cents per share.
Missed revenue estimates. The company saw revenue figures of $11.4 billion, missing our consensus estimate $12.13 billion.
The tech company experienced a 10% fall from $12.7 billion to $11.4 billion year over year as their earnings per share went up by 10% to 45 cents per share.
The company’s profit during the three months ended January 31, 2017 remained flat year over year at $267 million.
Hewlett Packard believed that three significant headwinds have developed since the company provided its original fiscal 2017 outlook in October 2016. The company experienced increased pressure form foreign exchange movements, higher commodities pricing, and some near-term execution issues.

“I believe HPE remains on the right track,” said Meg Whitman, President and CEO of Hewlett Packard Enterprise. “The steps we’re taking to strengthen our portfolio, streamline our organization, and build the right leadership team, are setting us up to win long into the future.”
