HP and its shareholders accused Autonomy of misleading them over the true value of the company; a claim that Autonomy’s founder Mike Lynch strenuously denies. A year after HP paid $11.1bn (£8.5bn) for Autonomy, the US giant wrote down the value of Autonomy by $8.8bn. Will the situation taint current CEO Whitman? "HP said it began an internal probe of the situation "after a senior member of Autonomy’s leadership team came forward, following the departure of Autonomy founder Mike Lynch, alleging that there had been a series of questionable accounting and business practices at Autonomy prior to the acquisition by HP." The HP board? On a GAAP basis, the company lost $6.8 billion or $3.49 a share, including $9.1 billion in charges, including the large hit related to the Autonomy deal.HP this morning is down $1.52, or 11.4%, to $11.78. And with HP's shares tumbling to fresh lows, can HP survive as currently structured - or will it be sold or broken apart?The company added that it "now believes that Autonomy was substantially overvalued at the time of its acquisition due to the misstatement of Autonomy’s financial performance, including its revenue, core growth rate and gross margins, and the misrepresentation of its business mix. I've been writing about technology and investing for more than 25 years.…In the quarter, HP posted revenue of $30 billion, down 7% from a year ago, or 4% adjusted for currency, and a bit below the Street consensus at $30.4 billion. In effect, the company is writing down close to 90% of the value of the transaction.For FY Q1 ending in January, the company sees non-GAAP profits of 68-71 cents a share, well below the Street at 85 cents.In the latest quarter, the company saw difficult conditions in most sectors:The company also reported October quarter profits slightly ahead of Street estimates, but cautioned that January quarter profits will be below consensus estimates.There are lots of unanswered questions here. Lynch had told “lie after lie”, HP’s counsel said. Hewlett-Packard this morning asserted that there were substantial instances of financial fraud in connection with its acquisition of the software company Autonomy in 2011 for $11.1 billion. Former Autonomy CEO Mike Lynch, recently booted out of HP by Whitman? Lynch denies any wrongdoing and says HP’s mismanagement was responsible for the failure of the acquisition. Former CEO Apotheker?
HP's 7.1 billion acquisition of software company Autonomy has been a disaster, according to financial services firm Magister Advisors. For starters, who is responsible? Non-GAAP profits were $1.16 a share, two cents better than the Street at $1.14. Three months later, after the completio n of the acquisition, HP had lost $26 billion o f its market value, representing a 37 U.S. software giant Hewlett-Packard (HP) is suing Autonomy founder Lynch along with his former finance chief Sushovan Hussain for more than $5 billion, alleging that they inflated the value of the British data firm before selling it.Miles, however, said on Monday that there were two levels to the case: firstly whether there were any underlying problems with Autonomy’s accounts; and secondly, if there were such problems, whether Lynch was complicit.HP bought Autonomy in 2011 but a year later it wrote down the value of the British company by $8.8 billion, saying it had uncovered serious accounting improprieties.“The board buckled to the pressure of the adverse movement in the share price and indeed we say lost their corporate nerve,” he added.“This is a case study in buyer’s remorse,” he said.He said the allegation that Lynch knew that any of Autonomy’s accounts were false was “really far-fetched”, given that he was already rich and successful and he would continue to lead Autonomy after it was acquired, by which time HP would have full access to all of the accounts.Closing arguments in the civil case will end this month, although further evidence could be heard in the coming months before Judge Robert Hildyard makes his judgement later in the year.Hussain has already been convicted on 16 counts of wire fraud, securities fraud and conspiracy in San Francisco over the deal, and he received a five-year prison term and a $4 million fine in May.Hussain was granted bail in June while he appeals his conviction.Lynch and Hussain have denied the allegations.HP has argued Lynch and Hussain were complicit in a plan to inflate the value of Autonomy through a series of fraudulent transactions, such as selling hardware at a loss and “round-trip” deals, a type of barter with no real commercial rationale.Reporting by Paul Sandle; Editing by Pravin CharLONDON (Reuters) - Hewlett-Packard suffered “buyer’s remorse” over its disastrous $11 billion acquisition of Autonomy and was trying to pin the blame on UK entrepreneur Mike Lynch, London’s High Court heard on Monday in the closing stages of a multi-billion dollar case.The United States last month formally requested the extradition of Lynch to face criminal charges including securities fraud, wire fraud and conspiracy over the 2011 HP deal.Lynch’s lawyer Robert Miles told the court on Monday that HP’s then-chairman Ray Lane had “serious cold feet” almost immediately after the deal was announced, and the company’s board and management had never seriously tried to integrate Autonomy.The U.S. company, in its closing argument last month, said Lynch had invented evidence on the stand in order to distance himself from some of the alleged fraudulent transactions.
