ARMONK, N.Y., April 20, 2015 . . . IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced first-quarter 2015 diluted earnings from continuing operations of $2.44 per share, flat year-to-year.  Operating (non-GAAP) diluted earnings from continuing operations were $2.91 per share, compared with operating diluted earnings of $2.68 per share in the first quarter of 2014, an increase of 9 percent.

First-quarter net income from continuing operations was $2.4 billion, down 5 percent year-to-year, including the impact of $0.2 billion in pension-related pre-tax charges for IBM Spain in the first quarter of 2015, resulting from a court ruling in Spain.  Operating (non-GAAP) net income from continuing operations was $2.9 billion compared with $2.8 billion in the first quarter of 2014, an increase of 4 percent.  GAAP and Operating (non-GAAP) results include workforce rebalancing charges of $0.3 billion in the first quarter of 2015 and $0.9 billion in the year-ago period.

For the first-quarter of 2015, IBM reported consolidated net income of $2.3 billion or $2.35 of diluted earnings per share, including operating net losses in discontinued operations related to the Microelectronics business.

Total revenues from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2015 of $19.6 billion were down 12 percent, flat year-to-year adjusting for currency and divested businesses, from the first quarter of 2014.

“In the first quarter we had a strong start to the year.  Our strategic imperatives growth rate accelerated, demonstrating the power of our offerings in these new opportunities and contributing to improved revenue performance.  Our focus on higher value through portfolio transformation and investment in key areas of the business drove continued margin expansion,” said Ginni Rometty, IBM chairman, president and chief executive officer.

First-Quarter GAAP — Operating (non-GAAP) Reconciliation

First-quarter operating (non-GAAP) diluted earnings from continuing operations exclude $0.47 per share of charges: $0.14 per share for the amortization of purchased intangible assets and other acquisition-related charges, and $0.33 per share for retirement-related charges, which includes the Spain pension-related charges.

Full-Year 2015 Expectations

IBM expects full-year 2015 GAAP diluted earnings per share of $14.17 to $14.92, and operating (non-GAAP) diluted earnings per share of $15.75 to $16.50.  At this level of profit, IBM continues to expect free cash flow to be flat year-to-year.  The 2015 operating (non-GAAP) earnings expectation excludes $1.58 per share of charges for amortization of purchased intangible assets, other acquisition-related charges and retirement-related charges.

Geographic Regions

The Americas’ first-quarter revenues were $9.3 billion, a decrease of 3 percent (up 2 percent adjusting for currency and divested businesses) from the 2014 period.  Revenues from Europe/Middle East/Africa were $6.1 billion, down 19 percent (down 2 percent adjusting for currency and divested businesses).  Asia-Pacific revenues decreased 18 percent (down 2 percent adjusting for currency and divested businesses) to $4.1 billion.

Growth Markets and Major Markets

Revenues from the company’s growth markets decreased 16 percent (down 1 percent adjusting for currency and divested businesses).  Revenues from the company’s major markets were down 11 percent (flat year-to-year adjusting for currency and divested businesses).

Services

Global Services revenues decreased 12 percent (down 2 percent adjusting for currency and divested businesses) to $12.2 billion.  Global Technology Services segment revenues were down 11 percent (down 1 percent adjusting for currency and divested businesses) to $7.9 billion.  Global Business Services segment revenues were down 13 percent (down 4 percent adjusting for currency and divested businesses) to $4.3 billion.

Pre-tax income from Global Technology Services was down 18 percent and pre-tax margin decreased to 12.3 percent.  Global Business Services pre-tax income decreased 21 percent and pre-tax margin decreased to 13.4 percent.

The estimated services backlog as of March 31 was $121 billion, flat year-to-year adjusting for currency and divested businesses.

Software

Revenues from the Software segment were down 8 percent to $5.2 billion (down 2 percent adjusting for currency) compared with the first quarter of 2014.  Software pre-tax income increased 1 percent and pre-tax margin increased to 31.4 percent.

Revenues from IBM’s key middleware products, which include WebSphere, Information Management, Tivoli, Workforce Solutions and Rational products, were $3.5 billion, down 5 percent (up 1 percent adjusting for currency) versus the first quarter of 2014.  Operating systems revenues of $0.4 billion were down 15 percent (down 9 percent adjusting for currency) compared with the prior-year quarter.

Gross Profit

The company’s total gross profit margin from continuing operations was 48.2 percent in the 2015 first quarter compared with 47.8 percent in the 2014 first-quarter period.  Total operating (non-GAAP) gross profit margin from continuing operations was 49.3 percent in the 2015 first quarter compared with 48.5 percent in the 2014 first-quarter period, with an increase in Hardware and an improving segment mix partially offset by a decline in Services.

Expense

Total expense and other income from continuing operations decreased to $6.5 billion, down 13 percent compared to the prior-year period.  Year-to-year results include the impact of currency and the divested System x business, as well as lower workforce rebalancing charges, partially offset by the Spain pension-related charges and prior year gain for the divestiture of the customer care outsourcing business.  S,G&A expense of $5.4 billion decreased 15 percent year over year.  R,D&E expense of $1.3 billion decreased 7 percent year-to-year; the related expense-to-revenue ratio increased to 6.6 percent compared with 6.3 percent in the year-ago period.  Intellectual property and custom development income decreased to $173 million compared with $207 million a year ago.  Other (income) and expense was income of $143 million compared with prior-year income of $127 million.  Interest expense increased to $108 million compared with $105 million in the prior year.

Pre-tax income from continuing operations decreased 6 percent to $3.0 billion.  Pre-tax margin from continuing operations increased 1.0 points to 15.3 percent.  Operating (non-GAAP) pre-tax income from continuing operations increased 3 percent to $3.6 billion and pre-tax margin was 18.4 percent, up 2.7 points.

***

IBM’s tax rate from continuing operations was 19.5 percent, down 1.0 points year over year; the operating (non-GAAP) tax rate was 20.0 percent, down 0.5 points compared to the year-ago period.

Net income margin from continuing operations increased 0.9 points to 12.3 percent.  Total operating (non-GAAP) net income margin from continuing operations increased 2.2 points to 14.8 percent.

The weighted-average number of diluted common shares outstanding in the first-quarter 2015 was 992 million compared with 1.04 billion shares in the same period of 2014.  As of March 31, 2015, there were 985 million basic common shares outstanding.

Debt, including Global Financing, totaled $38.8 billion, compared with $40.8 billion at year-end 2014.  From a management segment view, Global Financing debt totaled $26.2 billion versus $29.1 billion at year-end 2014, resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of 7.0 to 1.  Core (non-global financing) debt totaled $12.6 billion, an increase of $0.9 billion since year-end 2014 and a decrease of $3.1 billion from the first quarter of 2014.

IBM ended the first-quarter 2015 with $8.8 billion of cash on hand and generated free cash flow of $1.1 billion, excluding Global Financing receivables, up $0.4 billion year over year.  The company returned $2.3 billion to shareholders through $1.1 billion in dividends and $1.2 billion of gross share repurchases.  The balance sheet remains strong, and the company is well positioned to support the business over the long term.

21 21 Non-GAAP Supplemental Materials In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding the company's results as determined by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the company also discusses, in its earnings press release and earnings presentation materials, the following Non-GAAP information which management believes provides useful information to investors. Operating (Non-GAAP) Earnings Per Share and Related Income Statement Items Management presents certain financial measures from continuing operations excluding the effects of certain acquisition-related charges, non-operating retirement-related costs and any related tax impacts. Management uses the term "operating" to describe this view of the company's financial results and other financial information. For acquisitions, these measures exclude the amortization of purchased intangible assets and acquisition-related charges such as in-process research and development, transaction costs, applicable restructuring and related expenses, and tax charges related to acquisition integration. For retirement-related costs, the company has characterized certain items as operating and others as non-operating. The company includes service cost, amortization of prior service cost and the cost of defined contribution plans in its operating results. Non-operating retirement-related costs include interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortized actuarial gains/losses, the impacts of any plan curtailments/settlements, multi-employer plan costs, pension insolvency costs, and other costs. Non-operating costs primarily relate to changes in pension plan assets and liabilities which are tied to market performance, and management considers these costs to be outside the operational performance of the business. Management’s calculation of these operating measures, as presented, may differ from similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Overall, management believes that providing investors with an operating view as described above provides increased transparency and clarity into both the operational results of the business and the performance of the company’s pension plans, improves visibility to management decisions and their impacts on operational performance, enables better comparison to peer companies, and allows the company to provide a long term strategic view of the business going forward. For its earnings per share guidance, the company is utilizing an operating view to establish its objectives and track its progress. The company’s segment financial results and performance reflect operating earnings, consistent with the company’s management and measurement system. Constant Currency Management refers to growth rates at constant currency or adjusting for currency so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of the company's business performance. Financial results adjusted for currency are calculated by translating current period activity in local currency using the comparable prior year period’s currency conversion rate. This approach is used for countries where the functional currency is the local currency. Generally, when the dollar either strengthens or weakens against other currencies, the growth at constant currency rates or adjusting for currency will be higher or lower than growth reported at actual exchange rates. Supplemental Materials

Non-GAAP Supplemental Materials Cash Flow Management uses a free cash flow measure to evaluate the company’s operating results, plan share repurchase levels, evaluate strategic investments and assess the company’s ability and need to incur and service debt. The entire free cash flow amount is not necessarily available for discretionary expenditures. The company defines free cash flow as net cash from operating activities less the change in Global Financing receivables and net capital expenditures, including the investment in software. A key objective of the Global Financing business is to generate strong returns on equity, and increasing receivables is the basis for growth. Accordingly, management considers Global Financing receivables as a profit-generating investment, not as working capital that should be minimized for efficiency. Therefore, management includes presentations of both free cash flow and cash flow from operations that exclude the effect of Global Financing receivables. Debt-to-Capital Ratio Management presents its debt-to-capital ratio excluding the Global Financing business. A financing business is managed on a leveraged basis. The company funds its Global Financing segment using a debt-to-equity ratio target of approximately 7 to 1. Given this significant leverage, the company presents a debt-to-capital ratio which excludes the Global Financing segment debt and equity because the company believes this is more representative of the company’s core business operations. Customer Care Outsourcing and System x Business Divestiture On September 10, 2013, the company announced that it had signed a definitive agreement with SYNNEX for the sale of IBM’s worldwide customer care process outsourcing services business and on January 23, 2014, the company announced that it had signed a definitive agreement with Lenovo for the sale of IBM’s x86 server business. Management presents certain financial results excluding the effects of the customer care process outsourcing services business and/or the x86 server business divestitures. Management believes that presenting financial information without either or both of these items is more representative of operational performance and provides additional insight into, and clarifies the basis for, historical and/or future performance, which may be more useful to investors.
