EARNINGS IMPACT: The company also says it expects to record charges of $3.7 billion, mainly for the job cuts. That's up from the May estimate of $3.5 billion.

THE BACKDROP: HP has been hit by the shift in technology spending from PCs and printers toward cellphones and tablets. CEO Meg Whitman is trying to turn the company around.
