HP will create a separate new entity as a result of the split that will be called as Hewlett Packard Enterprise. The company would separate its personal-computer and printer businesses from its corporate hardware and services operations. HP said in a regulatory filing that the new company will include units of the old HP that sold computer hardware, software and tech services for large organizations. The papers show those units had $25.6 billion in sales over the last two quarters, with net earnings of $852 million.

“I’m more convinced than ever that this separation will create two compelling companies well positioned to win in the marketplace and to drive value for our stockholders. Since we announced our plan to separate in October, we’ve made significant progress and remain on track to complete the separation by the end of the fiscal year 2015.”

said Meg Whitman, chairman, president and CEO of HP.
