Financial services revenue fell 3% to $776m, compared to $803m in the last year period.

The company returned $1.3bn in capital to its shareholders and is increasing its commitment to return about 100% of its free cash flow outlook to shareholders.

HPE president and CEO Meg Whitman said: "During our first quarter as an independent company, we saw the progress that comes from being more focused and nimble.

"We delivered a third consecutive quarter of year-over-year constant currency revenue growth, and excluding the impact of recent M&A activity, we saw revenue growth in constant currency across every business segment for the first time since 2010."
