Net earnings were $1.4 billion or 74 cents per share, up from $1.2 billion or 63 cents a share.
Excluding items, the company earned $1.7 billion, or 90 cents per share, up from $1.6 billion, or 82 cents a share, in the year-earlier period.
Revenue decreased slightly to $28.15 billion from around $28.36 billion a year ago.
Wall Street had forecast Hewlett-Packard would deliver earnings of 84 cents a share on revenue of $27.19 billion, according to a consensus estimate from Thomson Reuters.
Falling PC sales did not affect the company's sales as much as analysts had feared.
Revenues in its personal systems group ticked 4 percent higher, despite a drop in desktop sales.
David Garrity, a principal at GVA Research, called this increase a "major surprise."
"Obviously, it's nice to see Hewlett not having to go in and report a 10th quarter of year-over-year revenue declines," Garrity said.
For the fiscal 2014 second quarter, the company estimates adjusted EPS to be in the range of 85 cents to 89 cents and full-year adjusted EPS to be in the range of $3.60 to $3.75. The current quarter forecast fell slightly short of estimates while the full-year outlook was in line with estimates.
