Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes of the International Business Machines Corporation (IBM or the company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The financial statements and footnotes are unaudited. In the opinion of the company’s management, these statements include all adjustments, which are only of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present a fair statement of the company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs, expenses and other comprehensive income/(loss) that are reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying disclosures. These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events, historical experience, actions that the company may undertake in the future and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. As a result, actual results may be different from these estimates.

On November 3, 2021, the company completed the separation of its managed infrastructure services unit into a new public company with the distribution of 80.1 percent of the outstanding common stock of Kyndryl Holdings, Inc. (Kyndryl) to IBM stockholders on a pro rata basis. To effect the separation, IBM stockholders received one share of Kyndryl common stock for every five shares of IBM common stock held at the close of business on October 25, 2021, the record date for the distribution. The company retained 19.9 percent of the shares of Kyndryl common stock immediately following the separation with the intent to dispose of such shares within twelve months after the distribution. The company accounts for the retained Kyndryl common stock as a fair value equity investment included within prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet with subsequent fair value changes included in other (income) and expense in the Consolidated Income Statement. On May 23,As of September 30, 2022, the company transferred 22,301,536 (22.3 million) sharesall of Kyndryl common stock, equal to 9.95 percent or half of the company’sits 19.9 percent retained interest in Kyndryl common stock pursuant to exchange agreements with a third-party financial institution pursuant to an exchange agreement.institution. Refer to note 8, “Financial Assets & Liabilities,” for additional information.

The accounting requirements for reporting the separation of Kyndryl as a discontinued operation were met when the separation was completed. Accordingly, the historical results of Kyndryl are presented as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. Refer to note 3, “Separation of Kyndryl,” for additional information.

In the first quarter of 2022, the company realigned its management structure to reflect the planned divestiture of its healthcare software assets which was completed in the second quarter of 2022. This change impacted the company’s Software segment and Other–divested businesses category. In the fourth quarter of 2021, immediately prior to the separation of Kyndryl, the company made a number of changes to its organizational structure and management system. These changes impacted the company’s reportable segments but did not impact the Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to note 5, “Segments,” for additional information on the company’s reportable segments. The segments are reported on a comparable basis for all periods.

In September 2022, the IBM Qualified Personal Pension Plan (Qualified PPP) purchased two separate nonparticipating single premium group annuity contracts from The Prudential Insurance Company of America and Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (collectively, the Insurers) and irrevocably transferred to the Insurers approximately $16 billion of the Qualified PPP’s defined benefit pension obligations and related plan assets, thereby reducing the company’s pension obligations and assets by the same amount. The group annuity contracts were purchased using assets of the Qualified PPP and no additional funding contribution was required from the company. As a result of this transaction the company recognized a one-time, non-cash, pre-tax pension settlement charge of $5.9 billion ($4.4 billion net of tax) in the third quarter of 2022, primarily related to the accelerated recognition of accumulated actuarial losses of the Qualified PPP. Refer to note 18, “Retirement-Related Benefits,” for additional information.

For the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the company reported a provision for income taxes of $257 million and $218 million, respectively, and its effective tax rate was 14.9 percent and 9.3 percent, respectively. The company reported a tax benefit in the first quarter of 2022 primarily due to the impacts of foreign tax credit regulations, geographical mix of income, incentives and changes in unrecognized tax benefits. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the company reported a provision for income taxes of $101 million and a benefit from income taxes of $58$1,287 million respectively, and its effective tax rate was 11.1 percent and (5.0) percent,$1,070 million, respectively. The company reportedtax benefits were primarily due to the transfer of a tax benefit inportion of the first quarter of 2021 which was primarily driven by the resolution of certain tax audits.

Noncontrolling interest amounts of $5.5 million and $4.2 million, net of tax, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $10.5 million and $9.1 million, net of tax, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, are included as a reduction within other (income) and expense in the Consolidated Income Statement.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (continued)

Qualified PPP’s defined benefit pension obligations and related plan assets, as described above. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the company reported a benefit from income taxes of $224 million and $282 million, respectively. The tax benefits were primarily driven by the resolution of certain tax audits in the first quarter of 2021 as well as third-quarter 2021 events that resulted in additional anticipated utilization of U.S. foreign tax credits.

Noncontrolling interest amounts of $3.7 million and $5.5 million, net of tax, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $14.2 million and $14.5 million, net of tax, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, are included as a reduction within other (income) and expense in the Consolidated Income Statement.

Interim results are not necessarily indicative of financial results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the company’s 2021 Annual Report.

Within the financial statements and tables presented, certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers for disclosure purposes. Percentages presented are calculated from the underlying whole-dollar amounts. Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation. This is annotated where applicable. In addition, in the first quarter of 2022, an adjustment of $63 million was recorded between common stock and retained earnings related to the issuance of treasury stock in connection with certain previously issued stock-based compensation awards and is reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statement of Equity at JuneSeptember 30, 2022.

2. Accounting Changes:

New Standards to be Implemented

Disclosures of Supplier Finance Program Obligations

Standard/Description–Issuance date: September 2022. This guidance requires an entity to provide certain interim and annual disclosures about the use of supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods or services.

Effective Date and Adoption Considerations–The guidance is effective January 1, 2023 with certain annual disclosures required beginning in 2024 and early adoption is permitted. The company will adopt the guidance as of the effective date.

Effect on Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters–As the guidance is a change to disclosures only, the company does not expect it to have a material impact in the consolidated financial results. The company’s use of supplier finance programs as of September 30, 2022 was not material.

Disclosures about Government Assistance

Standard/Description–Issuance date: November 2021. This guidance requires an entity to provide certain annual disclosures about government assistance received and accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy.

Effective Date and Adoption Considerations–The guidance is effective for annual disclosures beginning in 2022 and early adoption was permitted. The company will adopt the guidance as of the effective date.

Effect on Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters–As the guidance is a change to disclosures only, the company does not expect it to have a material impact in the consolidated financial results.

Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures

Standard/Description–Issuance date: March 2022. This eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings and requires an entity to apply the general loan modification guidance to all loan modifications, including those made to customers experiencing financial difficulty, to determine whether the modification results in a new loan or

11

Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (continued)

a continuation of an existing loan. The guidance also requires presenting current period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investment in leases.

Effective Date and Adoption Considerations–The amendment is effective January 1, 2023 and early adoption is permitted. The company will adopt the guidance as of the effective date.

Effect on Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters–The guidance is not expected to have a material impact in the consolidated financial results.

Standards Implemented

Lessors–Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments

Standard/Description–Issuance date: July 2021. This guidance modifies a lessor’s accounting for certain leases with variable lease payments that resulted in the recognition of a day-one loss even if the lessor expected the arrangement to be profitable overall. The amendment requires these types of lease contracts to be classified as operating leases which eliminates any recognition of a day-one loss.

Effective Date and Adoption Considerations–The amendment was effective January 1, 2022 and early adoption was permitted. The company adopted the guidance on a prospective basis as of the effective date.

Effect on Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters–The guidance did not have a material impact in the consolidated financial results.

11

Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (continued)

Revenue Contracts with Customers Acquired in a Business Combination

Standard/Description–Issuance date: October 2021. This guidance requires that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with revenue guidance, as if it had originated the contracts. Deferred revenue acquired in a business combination is no longer required to be measured at its fair value, but rather will generally be recognized at the same basis as the acquiree.

Effective Date and Adoption Considerations–The amendment is effective January 1, 2023 and early adoption is permitted including adoption in an interim period. The company adopted the guidance as of October 1, 2021 using the retrospective transition method whereby the new guidance was applied to all business combinations that occurred on or after January 1, 2021.

Effect on Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters–The guidance did not have a material impact in the consolidated financial results. The impact of the guidance in IBM’s future financial results will be dependent on the nature and size of its acquisitions.

Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes

Standard/Description–Issuance date: December 2019. This guidance simplifies various aspects of income tax accounting by removing certain exceptions to the general principle of the guidance and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistency in application.

Effective Date and Adoption Considerations–The guidance was effective January 1, 2021 and early adoption was permitted. The company adopted the guidance on a prospective basis as of the effective date.

Effect on Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters–The guidance did not have a material impact in the consolidated financial results.

3. Separation of Kyndryl:

On November 3, 2021, the company completed the separation of its managed infrastructure services unit into a new public company with the distribution of 80.1 percent of the outstanding shares of Kyndryl to IBM stockholders on a pro rata basis. The company retained 19.9 percent of the shares of Kyndryl common stock. On May 23,As of September 30, 2022, the

company transferred 22.3 million shares, equal to 9.95 percent or halfall of the company’sits 19.9 percent retained interest in Kyndryl common stock pursuant to exchange agreements with a third-party financial institution pursuant to an exchange agreement.institution. Refer to note 8, “Financial Assets & Liabilities,” for additional information.

The historical results of Kyndryl have been presented as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. The company’s presentation of discontinued operations excludes general corporate overhead costs which were historically allocated to Kyndryl, consistent with the company’s management system, that did not meet the requirements to be presented in discontinued operations in 2021. Such allocations include labor and non-labor expenses related to IBM’s corporate support functions (e.g., finance, accounting, tax, treasury, IT, HR, legal, among others) that historically provided support to Kyndryl and transferred to Kyndryl at separation. In addition, discontinued operations excludes the historical intercompany purchases and sales between IBM and Kyndryl that were eliminated in consolidation.

IBM will provide transition services to Kyndryl predominantly consisting of information technology services for a period no longer than two years after the separation. The impact of these transition services on the company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 was not material.

IBM and Kyndryl entered into various commercial agreements pursuant to which Kyndryl will purchase hardware, software and services from IBM and under which IBM will receive hosting and information infrastructure services from Kyndryl. As part of the separation, IBM has also committed to provide upgraded hardware at no cost to Kyndryl over a two-year period after the separation. IBM recorded anAn estimate of itsthe remaining obligation under the agreement is recorded in other accrued expenses and liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Excludes intercompany transactions between IBM and Kyndryl and general corporate overhead costs transferred to Kyndryl as discussed above.

LossIncome from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 primarily reflects the net impact of changes in separation-related estimates and the settlement of assets and liabilities in accordance with the separation and distribution agreement. LossIncome from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 reflects the same drivers as above and also includes a joint venture historically managed by Kyndryl, which did not transfer at separation due to the transfer being subject to regulatory approval. Upon receiving regulatory approval in the first quarter of 2022, the company sold its majority shares in the joint venture to Kyndryl, resulting in a pre-tax gain on sale of $68 million.

The company did not incur any separation costs during the three months ended September 30, 2022. Separation costs of $2 million and $146$543 million incurred during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $5 million and $196$739 million incurred during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, are included in income/(loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the Consolidated Income Statement. These charges primarily relate to transaction and third-party support costs, business separation and applicable employee retention fees, pension settlement charges and related tax charges.

Remaining Performance Obligations

The remaining performance obligation (RPO) disclosure provides the aggregate amount of the transaction price yet to be recognized as of the end of the reporting period and an explanation as to when the company expects to recognize these amounts in revenue. It is intended to be a statement of overall work under contract that has not yet been performed and does not include contracts in which the customer is not committed, such as certain as-a-Service, governmental, term software license and services offerings. The customer is not considered committed when they are able to terminate for convenience without payment of a substantive penalty. The disclosure includes estimates of variable consideration, except when the variable consideration is a sales-based or usage-based royalty promised in exchange for a license of intellectual property. Additionally, as a practical expedient, the company does not include contracts that have an original duration of one year or less. RPO estimates are subject to change and are affected by several factors, including terminations, changes in the scope of contracts, periodic revalidations, adjustment for revenue that has not materialized and adjustments for currency.

At JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to RPO related to customer contracts that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied was $55$53 billion. Approximately 7173 percent of the amount is expected to be recognized as revenue in the subsequent two years, approximately 2625 percent in the subsequent three to five years and the balance thereafter.

Revenue Recognized for Performance Obligations Satisfied (or Partially Satisfied) in Prior Periods

For the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, revenue was reduced by $24$36 million and $28$60 million, respectively, for performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods mainly due to changes in estimates on contracts with cost-to-cost measures of progress.

5. Segments:

In January 2022, IBM announced the divestiture of its healthcare software assets which closed in the second quarter of 2022. Refer to note 6, “Acquisitions & Divestitures,” for additional information. The company re-aligned its management structure to manage these assets outside of the Software segment prior to the divestiture. Beginning in the first quarter of 2022, the financial results of these assets are presented in Other–divested businesses. In the fourth quarter of 2021, immediately prior to the separation of Kyndryl, the company made a number of changes to its organizational structure and management system to align the company’s operating model to its platform-centric approach to hybrid cloud and AI. With these changes, the company revised its reportable segments, but did not impact its Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following tables reflect the results of continuing operations of the company’s segments consistent with the management and measurement system utilized within the company, and the prior-year periods have been recast to reflect the company’s segment changes in the first quarter of 2022 and the fourth quarter of 2021 described above. Performance measurement is based on pre-tax income from continuing operations. These results are used by the chief operating decision maker, both in evaluating the performance of, and in allocating resources to, each of the segments.

The goodwill generated is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce of the acquired businesses and the increased synergies expected to be achieved from the integration of the acquired businesses into the company’s various integrated solutions and services, neither of which qualifies as an amortizable intangible asset.

The overall weighted-average useful life of the identified amortizable intangible assets acquired was 6.7 years. Goodwill of $461$432 million and $442$425 million was assigned to the ConsultingSoftware and SoftwareConsulting segments, respectively. It is expected that NaN41 percent of the goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes.

The identified intangible assets will be amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives, which approximates the pattern that the assets’ economic benefits are expected to be consumed over time.

The valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is subject to revision. If additional information becomes available, the company may further revise the purchase price allocation as soon as practical, but no later than one year from the acquisition date; however, material changes are not expected.

On October 3, 2022, the company acquired Dialexa, a privately held digital product engineering services firm. Dialexa will be integrated into the Consulting segment. At the date of issuance of the financial statements, the initial purchase accounting for Dialexa was not complete.

Divestitures

Healthcare Software Assets — In January 2022, IBM and Francisco Partners (Francisco) signed a definitive agreement in which Francisco would acquire IBM’s healthcare softwaredata and analytics assets reported within Other–Otherdivested businesses (Other) for $1,065 million. Refer to note 5, “Segments,” for additional information. The assets include Health Insights, MarketScan, Clinical Development, Social Program Management, Micromedex, and imaging software offerings. In addition, IBM is providing Francisco with transition services including IT and other services. The closing completed for the U.S. and Canada on June 30, 2022 and a subsequent closing occurred in most other countries on September 30, 2022. The company expects subsequent closings forto close the remaining countries to be completed by the first quarter of 2023.

On June 30, 2022, the company received a cash payment of $1,065 million and recognizedmillion. As of September 30, 2022 a $232 milliontotal pre-tax gain on saleof $259 million has been recognized in other (income) and expense in the Consolidated Income Statement. The cash proceeds from the sale were included primarily in cash from investing activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Any pre-tax gains related to the subsequent wave closings are not expected to be material. The total gain on sale may change in the future due to changes in transaction estimates,estimates; however, such changes are not expected to be material.

Other Divestitures — In the first quarter of 2022, the Infrastructure segment completed 1 divestiture. The financial terms related to this transaction were not material.

8. Financial Assets & Liabilities:

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The company classifies certain assets and liabilities based on the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that can be accessed at the measurement date;

22

Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (continued)

Level 2Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

22

Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (continued)

When available, the company uses unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets to measure the fair value and classifies such items as Level 1. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that use current market-based or independently sourced market parameters such as interest rates and currency rates. Items valued using internally generated models are classified according to the lowest level input or value driver that is significant to the valuation.

The determination of fair value considers various factors including interest rate yield curves and time value underlying the financial instruments. For derivatives and debt securities, the company uses a discounted cash flow analysis using discount rates commensurate with the duration of the instrument.

In determining the fair value of financial instruments, the company considers certain market valuation adjustments to the “base valuations” calculated using the methodologies described below for several parameters that market participants would consider in determining fair value:

Counterparty credit risk adjustments are applied to financial instruments, taking into account the actual credit risk of a counterparty as observed in the credit default swap market to determine the true fair value of such an instrument.
Credit risk adjustments are applied to reflect the company’s own credit risk when valuing all liabilities measured at fair value. The methodology is consistent with that applied in developing counterparty credit risk adjustments, but incorporates the company’s own credit risk as observed in the credit default swap market.

The company holds investments primarily in time deposits, certificates of deposit, and U.S. government debt that are designated as available-for-sale. The primary objective of the company’s cash and debt investment portfolio is to maintain principal by investing in very liquid and highly rated investment grade securities.

The company’s standard practice is to hold all of its debt security investments classified as available-for-sale until maturity. NaNNo impairments for credit losses and no material non-credit impairments were recorded for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Certain non-financial assets such as property, plant and equipment, operating right-of-use assets, land, goodwill and intangible assets are also subject to nonrecurring fair value measurements if they are deemed to be impaired. The impairment models used for non-financial assets depend on the type of asset. There were no material impairments of non-financial assets for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Kyndryl Common Stock

On November 3, 2021, IBM completed the separation of Kyndryl and retained 19.9 percent of the shares of Kyndryl common stock with the intent to dispose of the shares within twelve months of the separation.

On May 18, 2022, the company borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $357 million under a short-term credit facility with a third-party financial institution, the proceeds of which will bewere used to repay certain of the company’s existing indebtedness. On May 23, 2022, the company completed a debt-for-equity exchange where 22.3 million shares of Kyndryl common stock, equal to 9.95 percent or half of the company’s 19.9 percent retained interest (the Shares), were exchanged at a strike price of $13.95 per share to extinguish $311 million of the company’s indebtedness under the short-term credit facility (the May 2022 Exchange). The remaining portion of the short-term credit facility was repaid with $46 million of cash.

In connection with the May 2022 Exchange, the company entered into a cash-settled swap with the lender of the short-term credit facility as the counterparty that maintained IBM’s continued economic exposure in the Shares. Upon settlement of

24

Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (continued)

settlement of the swap, which will occur no later than November 2, 2022, IBM will either receive or pay an amount derived from the difference between the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of the Kyndryl sharescommon stock over the outstanding term of the swap and the strike price of $13.95 per share. As a result, the most significant input into the valuation of the swap is the price of Kyndryl shares.common stock. The fair value of the swap at JuneSeptember 30, 2022 was $88$85 million and is included within other accrued expenses and liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, an unrealized gain on the swap of $3 million and an unrealized loss on the swap of $88$85 million, respectively, was recorded in other (income) and expense in the Consolidated Income Statement.

As a result of the swap, the transfer of the Shares pursuant to the May 2022 Exchange doesdid not qualify as a true sale, and therefore the Shares remain on the company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at JuneSeptember 30, 2022. Relatedly, the portion of the company’s indebtedness under the short-term credit facility that was extinguished pursuant to the May 2022 Exchange has been classified as a secured borrowing within short-term debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The company has elected to record the debt at fair value based on changes in the value of the Shares underlying the debt. The fair value of the debt was $218$184 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2022. In electing the fair value option, the company recognizes changes in fair value of the debt in other (income) and expense, which amounted to $93$34 million and $127 million for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022.2022, respectively. The contractual principal balance of the debt was $311 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2022. Both the Shares and the debt are expected to be entirely derecognized from the company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet upon settlement of the swap, which will occur no later than November 2, 2022.

On August 5, 2022, the company borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $300 million under a short-term credit facility with a third-party financial institution, the proceeds of which will be used to repay certain of the company’s existing indebtedness. On August 11, 2022, the company completed a debt-for-equity exchange through the transfer of the remaining 22.3 million shares of Kyndryl common stock to extinguish $229 million of the company’s indebtedness under the short-term credit facility (the August 2022 Exchange). The 19.9 percentremaining portion of the short-term credit facility was repaid with $71 million of cash. As a result of the August 2022 Exchange, the 22.3 million shares of Kyndryl common stock were derecognized from the company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The debt-for-equity exchange associated with the August 2022 Exchange is a non-cash financing activity for purposes of the company’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as of September 30, 2022.

The retained interest in the Kyndryl shares is accounted for at fair value which amounted to $436common stock of $184 million and $807 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and is included within prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. AnFor the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the company recorded an unrealized loss of $56 million and $278$93 million, net of adjustment for the mark-to-market on the related debt as described above related to the Kyndryl common stock under the May 2022 Exchange. The net mark-to-market impact for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was zero. The company recorded a realized gain of $11 million and a realized loss of $174 million related to the Kyndryl shares under the August 2022 Exchange for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Gains and losses for both the May and August exchanges as noted above were recorded in other (income) and expense in the Consolidated Income Statement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.Statement.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value

Short-Term Receivables and Payables

Notes and other accounts receivable and other investments are financial assets with carrying values that approximate fair value. Accounts payable, other accrued expenses and short-term debt (excluding the current portion of long-term debt and including short-term finance lease liabilities) are financial liabilities with carrying values that approximate fair value. If measured at fair value in the financial statements, these financial instruments would be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, except for short-term debt which would be classified as Level 2.

Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (continued)

Loans and Long-Term Receivables

Fair values are based on discounted future cash flows using current interest rates offered for similar loans to clients with similar credit ratings for the same remaining maturities. At JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the difference between the carrying amount and estimated fair value for loans and long-term receivables was immaterial. If measured at fair value in the financial statements, these financial instruments would be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Long-Term Debt

Fair value of publicly traded long-term debt is based on quoted market prices for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market. For other long-term debt (including long-term finance lease liabilities) for which a quoted market price is not available, an expected present value technique that uses rates currently available to the company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities is used to estimate fair value. The carrying amount of long-term debt was $44,328$44,942 million and $44,917 million, and the estimated fair value was $42,143$40,944 million and $49,465 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. If measured at fair value in the financial statements, long-term debt (including the current portion) would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

9. Financing Receivables:

Financing receivables primarily consist of client loan and installment payment receivables (loans) and, investment in sales-type and direct financing leases (collectively referred to as client financing receivables) and commercial financing receivables. Loans are provided primarily to clients to finance the purchase of hardware, software and services. Payment terms on these financing arrangements are generally for terms up to seven years. Investment in sales-type and direct financing leases relate principally to the company’s Infrastructure products and are for terms ranging generally from two to six years. Commercial financing receivables, which consist of both held-for-investment and held-for-sale receivables, relate primarily to working capital financing for dealers and remarketers of IBM products. Payment terms for working capital financing generally range from 30 to 90 days.

A summary of the components of the company’s financing receivables is presented as follows:

Transfer of Financial Assets

The company enters into agreements with third-party financial institutions to sell certain of its client financing receivables, including both loan and lease receivables, for cash proceeds. Throughout 2021, sales of client financing receivables were utilized as part of the company’s cash and liquidity management as well as for credit mitigation. In the first half of 2022, sales of client financing receivables were largely focused on credit mitigation. In addition, the company has an existing agreement with a third-party investor to sell IBM short-term commercial financing receivables on a revolving basis. The company has expanded this agreement to other countries and geographies since commencement in the U.S. and Canada in 2020. In addition, the company enters into agreements with third-party financial institutions to sell certain of its client financing receivables, including both loan and lease receivables, for cash proceeds. In the first nine months of 2022, sales of client financing receivables were largely focused on credit mitigation. During 2021, sales of client financing receivables were utilized as part of the company’s cash and liquidity management as well as for credit mitigation.

Of the amortized cost not accruing, there was a related allowance of $129$120 million and $153 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Financing income recognized on these receivables was immaterial for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, respectively.

Credit Quality Indicators

The company’s credit quality indicators, which are based on rating agency data, publicly available information and information provided by customers, are reviewed periodically based on the relative level of risk. The resulting indicators are a numerical rating system that maps to Moody’s Investors Service credit ratings as shown below. The company uses information provided by Moody’s, where available, as one of many inputs in its determination of customer credit ratings. The credit quality of the customer is evaluated based on these indicators and is assigned the same risk rating whether the receivable is a lease or a loan.

The following tables present the amortized cost basis for client financing receivables by credit quality indicator at JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Receivables with a credit quality indicator ranging from Aaa to Baa3 are considered investment grade. All others are considered non-investment grade. The credit quality indicators reflect mitigating credit enhancement actions taken by customers which reduce the risk to IBM.

*  Amounts as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 included a decrease in net intangible asset balances of $235$389 million and $221 million, respectively, due to foreign currency translation.

**

Other intangibles are primarily acquired proprietary and non-proprietary business processes, methodologies and systems.

The net carrying amount of intangible assets decreased $940$1,544 million during the first sixnine months of 2022, primarily due to intangible asset amortization and the impacts of currency, partially offset by additions of acquired intangibles and capitalized software. The aggregate intangible asset amortization expense was $625$577 million and $1,251$1,828 million for the secondthird quarter and first sixnine months of 2022, respectively, compared to $625$640 million and $1,239$1,880 million for the secondthird quarter and first sixnine months of 2021, respectively. In the first sixnine months of 2022, the company retired $501$647 million of fully amortized intangible assets, impacting both the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization by this amount. The company also derecognized intangible assets with a gross carrying amount of $1,312$1,313 million and $1,149 million of accumulated amortization as part of the divestiture of its healthcare software assets on June 30, 2022.

a covenant on the company’s consolidated net interest expense ratio, which cannot be less than 2.20 to 1.0, as well as a cross default provision with respect to other defaulted indebtedness of at least $500 million.

The company is in compliance with its debt covenants and provides periodic certifications to its lenders. The failure to comply with its debt covenants could constitute an event of default with respect to the debt to which such provisions apply. If certain events of default were to occur, the principal and interest on the debt to which such event of default applied would become immediately due and payable.

In the first quarter of 2022, the company issued $2.3 billion of Euro fixed-rate notes in tranches with maturities ranging from 8 to 12 years and coupons ranging from 0.875 to 1.25 percent, and $1.8 billion of U.S. dollar fixed-rate notes with maturities ranging from 5 to 30 years and coupons ranging from 2.20 to 3.43 percent.

Refer to note A, “Significant Accounting Policies,” in the company’s 2021 Annual Report for additional information. The allowance for these commitments is recorded in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and was not material at JuneSeptember 30, 2022.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (continued)

The company has applied the guidance requiring a guarantor to disclose certain types of guarantees, even if the likelihood of requiring the guarantor’s performance is remote. The following is a description of arrangements in which the company is the guarantor.

The company is a party to a variety of agreements pursuant to which it may be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters. Typically, these obligations arise in the context of contracts entered into by the company, under which the company customarily agrees to hold the party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations and covenants related to such matters as title to the assets sold, certain intellectual property rights, specified environmental matters, third-party performance of nonfinancial contractual obligations and certain income taxes. In each of these circumstances, payment by the company is conditioned on the other party making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract, the procedures of which typically allow the company to challenge the other party’s claims. While indemnification provisions typically do not include a contractual maximum on the company’s payment, the company’s obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of time and/or nature of claim, and in some instances, the company may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by the company.

It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these or similar agreements due to the conditional nature of the company’s obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by the company under these agreements have not had a material effect on the company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

In addition, the company guarantees certain loans and financial commitments. The maximum potential future payment under these financial guarantees and the fair value of these guarantees recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was not material.

Changes in the company’s warranty liability for standard warranties, which are included in other accrued expenses and liabilities and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, and for extended warranty contracts, which are included in deferred income in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, are presented in the following tables.

14. Contingencies:

As a company with a substantial employee population and with clients in more than 175 countries, IBM is involved, either as plaintiff or defendant, in a variety of ongoing claims, demands, suits, investigations, tax matters and proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business. The company is a leader in the information technology industry and, as such, has been and will continue to be subject to claims challenging its IP rights and associated products and offerings, including claims of copyright and patent infringement and violations of trade secrets and other IP rights. In addition, the company enforces its own IP against infringement, through license negotiations, lawsuits or otherwise. Further, given the rapidly evolving external landscape of cybersecurity, privacy and data protection laws, regulations and threat actors, the company and its clients have been and will continue to be subject to actions or proceedings in various jurisdictions. Also, as is typical for companies of IBM’s scope and scale, the company is party to actions and proceedings in various jurisdictions involving a wide range of labor and employment issues (including matters related to contested employment decisions, country-specific labor and employment laws, and the company’s pension, retirement and other benefit plans), as well as actions with respect to contracts, product liability, securities, foreign operations, competition law and environmental matters. These actions may be commenced by a number of different parties, including competitors, clients, current or former employees, government and regulatory agencies, stockholders and representatives of the locations in which the company does business. Some of the actions to which the company is party may involve particularly complex technical issues, and some actions may raise novel questions under the laws of the various jurisdictions in which these matters arise.

The company records a provision with respect to a claim, suit, investigation or proceeding when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Any recorded liabilities, including any changes to such liabilities for the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 were not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In accordance with the relevant accounting guidance, the company provides disclosures of matters for which the likelihood of material loss is at least reasonably possible. In addition, the company also discloses matters based on its consideration of other matters and qualitative factors, including the experience of other companies in the industry, and investor, customer and employee relations considerations.

With respect to certain of the claims, suits, investigations and proceedings discussed herein, the company believes at this time that the likelihood of any material loss is remote, given, for example, the procedural status, court rulings, and/or the strength of the company’s defenses in those matters. With respect to the remaining claims, suits, investigations and proceedings discussed in this note, except as specifically discussed herein, the company is unable to provide estimates of reasonably possible losses or range of losses, including losses in excess of amounts accrued, if any, for the following reasons. Claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain, and it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of these matters. It is the company’s experience that damage amounts claimed in litigation against it are unreliable and unrelated to possible outcomes, and as such are not meaningful indicators of the company’s potential liability. Further, the company is unable to provide such an estimate due to a number of other factors with respect to

36

Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (continued)

these claims, suits, investigations and proceedings, including considerations of the procedural status of the matter in question, the presence of complex or novel legal theories, and/or the ongoing discovery and development of information important to the matters. The company reviews claims, suits, investigations and proceedings at least quarterly, and decisions are made with respect to recording or adjusting provisions and disclosing reasonably possible losses or range of losses (individually or in the aggregate), to reflect the impact and status of settlement discussions, discovery, procedural and substantive rulings, reviews by counsel and other information pertinent to a particular matter.

Whether any losses, damages or remedies finally determined in any claim, suit, investigation or proceeding could reasonably have a material effect on the company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows will depend on a number of variables, including: the timing and amount of such losses or damages; the structure and type of any such remedies; the significance of the impact any such losses, damages or remedies may have in the Consolidated Financial Statements; and the unique facts and circumstances of the particular matter that may give rise to additional factors. While the company will continue to defend itself vigorously, it is possible that the company’s business, financial

37

Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (continued)

condition, results of operations or cash flows could be affected in any particular period by the resolution of one or more of these matters.

The following is a summary of the more significant legal matters involving the company.

In December 2017, CIS General Insurance Limited (CISGIL) sued IBM UK regarding a contract entered into by IBM UK and CISGIL in 2015 to implement and operate an IT insurance platform. The contract was terminated by IBM UK in July 2017 for non-payment by CISGIL. CISGIL alleges wrongful termination, breach of contract and breach of warranty. In February 2021, the Technology & Construction Court in London rejected the majority of CISGIL’s claims and ruled in IBM’s favor on its counterclaim. The court’s decision required IBM to pay approximately $20 million in damages, plus interest and litigation costs. In April 2022, the Court of Appeal awarded CISGIL additional damages of approximately $89 million, plus interest and litigation costs. IBM filed an application for permission to appeal with the UK Supreme Court.

On June 8, 2021, IBM sued GlobalFoundries U.S. Inc. (GF) in New York State Supreme Court for claims including fraud and breach of contract relating to a long-term strategic relationship between IBM and GF for researching, developing, and manufacturing advanced semiconductor chips for IBM. GF walked away from its obligations and IBM is now suing to recover amounts paid to GF, and other compensatory and punitive damages, totaling more than $1.5 billion. On September 14, 2021, the court ruled on GF’s motion to dismiss. On April 7, 2022, the Appellate Division unanimously reversed the lower court’s dismissal of IBM’s fraud claim. IBM’s claims for breaches of contract, promissory estoppel, and fraud are proceeding.

On April 5, 2022, a putative securities law class action was commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging that during the period from April 4, 2017 through October 20, 2021, certain strategic imperatives revenues were misclassified. The company, 2two current IBM senior executives, and 2two former IBM senior executives are named as defendants. On June 23, 2022, the court entered an order appointing Iron Workers Local 580 Joint Funds as lead plaintiff. On September 21, 2022, the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the case, without prejudice. On March 25, 2022, the Board of Directors received a shareholder demand letter making similar allegations and demanding that the company’s Board of Directors take action to assert the company’s rights. A special committee of independent directors has been formed to investigate the issues raised in the letter.

On June 2, 2022, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging that the IBM Pension Plan miscalculated certain joint and survivor annuity pension benefits by using outdated actuarial tables in violation of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. IBM, the Plan Administrator Committee, and the IBM Pension Plan are named as defendants.

As disclosed in the Kyndryl Form 10 and subsequent Kyndryl public filings, in 2017 BMC Software, Inc. (BMC) filed suit against IBM in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas in a dispute involving IBM’s former managed infrastructure services business. On May 30, 2022, the trial court awarded BMC $718 million in direct

damages and $718 million in punitive damages, plus interest and fees. The judgment will beIBM filed a notice of appeal, and BMC cross appealed. IBM does not believe it has any material exposure relating to this litigation. No material liability or related indemnification asset has been recorded by IBM.

The company is party to, or otherwise involved in, proceedings brought by U.S. federal or state environmental agencies under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), known as “Superfund,” or laws similar to CERCLA. Such statutes require potentially responsible parties to participate in remediation activities regardless of fault or ownership of sites. The company is also conducting environmental investigations, assessments or remediations at or in the vicinity of several current or former operating sites globally pursuant to permits, administrative orders or agreements with country, state or local environmental agencies, and is involved in lawsuits and claims concerning certain current or former operating sites.

The company is also subject to ongoing tax examinations and governmental assessments in various jurisdictions. Along with many other U.S. companies doing business in Brazil, the company is involved in various challenges with

38

Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (continued)

Brazilian tax authorities regarding non-income tax assessments and non-income tax litigation matters. The total potential amount related to all these matters for all applicable years is approximately $400 million. The company believes it will prevail on these matters and that this amount is not a meaningful indicator of liability.

16. Derivative Financial Instruments:

The company operates in multiple functional currencies and is a significant lender and borrower in the global markets. In the normal course of business, the company is exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and foreign currency fluctuations, and to a lesser extent equity and commodity price changes and client credit risk. The company limits these risks by following established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of derivatives, and, where cost effective, financing with debt in the currencies in which assets are denominated. For interest rate exposures, derivatives are used to better align rate movements between the interest rates associated with the company’s lease and other financial assets and the interest rates associated with its financing debt. Derivatives are also used to manage the related cost of debt. For foreign currency exposures, derivatives are used to better manage the cash flow volatility arising from foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

In the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the company does not offset derivative assets against liabilities in master netting arrangements nor does it offset receivables or payables recognized upon payment or receipt of cash collateral against the fair values of the related derivative instruments. At JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the amount recognized in other accounts receivables for the right to reclaim cash collateral was $52$191 million and $2 million, respectively. At JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the amount recognized in accounts payable for the obligation to return cash collateral was $14$222 million and $38 million, respectively. The company restricts the use of cash collateral received to rehypothecation, and therefore reports it in restricted cash in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. At JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the amount rehypothecated was $12$158 million and $2 million, respectively. Additionally, if derivative exposures covered by a qualifying master netting agreement had been netted in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the total derivative asset and liability positions each would have been reduced by $187$311 million and $60 million, respectively.

On May 19, 2022, in connection with the disposition of 22.3 million shares of Kyndryl common stock, the company entered into a cash-settled swap with the lender of the short-term credit facility as the counterparty that maintained IBM’s continued economic exposure in those shares pursuant to the May 2022 Exchange. Refer to note 8, “Financial Assets & Liabilities,” for additional information. The notional value of the swap is $311 million. Upon settlement of the swap, no later than November 2, 2022, IBM will receive or pay an amount derived from the difference between the VWAP of the Kyndryl sharescommon stock over the outstanding term of the swap and the strike price as of May 19, 2022. The fair value of the swap at JuneSeptember 30, 2022 was $88$85 million and is included within other accrued expenses and liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, an unrealized gain of $3 million and unrealized loss of $88$85 million, respectively, was recorded in other (income) and expense in the Consolidated Income Statement.

In its hedging programs, the company may use forward contracts, futures contracts, interest-rate swaps, cross-currency swaps, equity swaps, and options depending upon the underlying exposure. The company is not a party to leveraged derivative instruments.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (continued)

A brief description of the major hedging programs, categorized by underlying risk, follows.

Interest Rate Risk

Fixed and Variable Rate Borrowings

The company issues debt in the global capital markets to fund its operations and financing business. Access to cost-effective financing can result in interest rate mismatches with the underlying assets. To manage these mismatches and to reduce overall interest cost, the company may use interest-rate swaps to convert specific fixed-rate debt issuances into variable-rate debt (i.e., fair value hedges) and to convert specific variable-rate debt issuances into fixed-rate debt (i.e., cash flow hedges). At JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the total notional amount of the company’s interest-rate swaps was $4.4$6.2 billion and $0.4 billion, respectively. The weighted-average remaining maturity of these instruments at JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was approximately 5.46.0 years and 1.2 years, respectively. These interest-rate contracts were accounted for as fair value hedges. The company did 0tnot have any cash flow hedges relating to this program outstanding at JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Forecasted Debt Issuance

The company is exposed to interest rate volatility on future debt issuances. To manage this risk, the company may use instruments such as forward starting interest-rate swaps to lock in the rate on the interest payments related to the forecasted debt issuances. There were 0no instruments outstanding at JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

In connection with cash flow hedges of forecasted interest payments related to the company's borrowings, the company recorded net losses (before taxes) of $148$144 million and $157 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, in AOCI. The company estimates that $18 million of the deferred net losses (before taxes) on derivatives in AOCI at JuneSeptember 30, 2022 will be reclassified to net income within the next 12 months, providing an offsetting economic impact against the underlying interest payments.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Long-Term Investments in Foreign Subsidiaries (Net Investment)

A large portion of the company’s foreign currency denominated debt portfolio is designated as a hedge of net investment in foreign subsidiaries to reduce the volatility in stockholders’ equity caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates in the functional currency of major foreign subsidiaries with respect to the U.S. dollar. At JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying value of debt designated as hedging instruments was $14.0$12.8 billion and $14.1 billion, respectively. The company also uses cross-currency swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts for this risk management purpose. At JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the total notional amount of derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges was $4.7$5.4 billion and $6.8 billion, respectively. At both JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the weighted-average remaining maturity of these instruments was approximately 0.1 year.

Anticipated Royalties and Cost Transactions

The company’s operations generate significant nonfunctional currency, third-party vendor payments and intercompany payments for royalties and goods and services among the company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries and with the company. In anticipation of these foreign currency cash flows and in view of the volatility of the currency markets, the company selectively employs foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its currency risk. These forward contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges. At JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the maximum remaining length of time over which the company hedged its exposure is approximately two years. At JuneSeptember 30 2022 and December 31, 2021, the total notional amount of forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted royalty and cost transactions was $8.2 billion and $7.2 billion, respectively. At both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the weighted-average remaining maturity of these instruments was approximately 0.6 years.

4443

Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (continued)

$8.2 billion and $7.2 billion, respectively. At Juneboth September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the weighted-average remaining maturity of these instruments was approximately 0.6 years.

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, in connection with cash flow hedges of anticipated royalties and cost transactions, the company recorded net gains (before taxes) of $537$693 million and $315 million, respectively, in AOCI. The company estimates that $471$631 million of deferred net gains (before taxes) on derivatives in AOCI at JuneSeptember 30, 2022 will be reclassified to net income within the next 12 months, providing an offsetting economic impact against the underlying anticipated transactions.

Foreign Currency Denominated Borrowings

The company is exposed to exchange rate volatility on foreign currency denominated debt. To manage this risk, the company employs cross-currency swaps to convert fixed-rate foreign currency denominated debt to fixed-rate debt denominated in the functional currency of the borrowing entity. These swaps are accounted for as cash flow hedges. At JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the maximum length of time remaining over which the company hedged its exposure is approximately sixfive years. At JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the total notional amount of cross-currency swaps designated as cash flow hedges of foreign currency denominated debt was $3.0 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively.

At JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, in connection with cash flow hedges of foreign currency denominated borrowings, the company recorded net losses (before taxes) of $128$112 million and $174 million, respectively, in AOCI. The company estimates that $31$17 million of deferred net gains (before taxes) on derivatives in AOCI at JuneSeptember 30, 2022 will be reclassified to net income within the next 12 months, providing an offsetting economic impact against the underlying exposure.

Subsidiary Cash and Foreign Currency Asset/Liability Management

The company uses its Global Treasury Centers to manage the cash of its subsidiaries. These centers principally use currency swaps to convert cash flows in a cost-effective manner. In addition, the company uses foreign exchange forward contracts to economically hedge, on a net basis, the foreign currency exposure of a portion of the company’s nonfunctional currency assets and liabilities. The terms of these forward and swap contracts are generally less than one year. The changes in the fair values of these contracts and of the underlying hedged exposures are generally offsetting and are recorded in other (income) and expense in the Consolidated Income Statement. At JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the total notional amount of derivative instruments in economic hedges of foreign currency exposure was $5.6$4.3 billion and $6.8 billion, respectively.

Equity Risk Management

The company is exposed to market price changes in certain broad market indices and in the company’s own stock primarily related to certain obligations to employees. Changes in the overall value of these employee compensation obligations are recorded in SG&A expense in the Consolidated Income Statement. Although not designated as accounting hedges, the company utilizes derivatives, including equity swaps and futures, to economically hedge the exposures related to its employee compensation obligations. The derivatives are linked to the total return on certain broad market indices or the total return on the company’s common stock, and are recorded at fair value with gains or losses also reported in SG&A expense in the Consolidated Income Statement. At JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the total notional amount of derivative instruments in economic hedges of these compensation obligations was $1.1$1.2 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively.

IBM U.S. Pension and Nonpension Postretirement Plan Changes

Over the past several years, the company has taken actions to reduce the risk profile of its worldwide retirement-related plans, while at the same time increasing the funded status of the plans. As described in note 1, “Basis of Presentation,” in September 2022, the Qualified PPP irrevocably transferred to the Insurers approximately $16 billion of the Qualified PPP’s defined benefit pension obligations and related plan assets, thereby reducing the company’s pension obligations and assets by the same amount. This transaction further de-risks the company’s retirement-related plans by eliminating the potential for the company to make future cash contributions to fund this portion of pension obligations being transferred to the Insurers. After the transaction, the Qualified PPP remained in an overfunded position as of September 30, 2022.

Upon issuance of the group annuity contracts, the Qualified PPP’s benefit obligations and administration for approximately 100,000 of the company’s retirees and beneficiaries (the Transferred Participants) were transferred to the Insurers. Under the group annuity contracts, each Insurer has made an irrevocable commitment, and will be solely responsible, to pay 50 percent of the pension benefits of each Transferred Participant that are due on and after January 1, 2023. The transaction resulted in no changes to the benefits to be received by the Transferred Participants. The company recognized a one-time, non-cash, pre-tax pension settlement charge of $5.9 billion ($4.4 billion net of tax) in the third quarter of 2022 primarily related to the accelerated recognition of actuarial losses included within AOCI in the Consolidated Statement of Equity. As a result of this transaction, the company was required to remeasure the benefit obligations and plan assets of the Qualified PPP. The remeasurement reflects the use of an updated discount rate and actual return on plan assets as of August 31, 2022, applying the practical expedient to remeasure plan assets and obligations as of the nearest calendar month-end date.

In September 2022, the company amended its U.S. Nonpension Postretirement Plan to transition coverage for Medicare-eligible participants to a new IBM-sponsored group Medicare Advantage program administered by UnitedHealthcare, starting January 1, 2023. The changes are intended to provide an enhanced member experience, better value and more comprehensive benefits to IBM participants. As a result of this amendment, the company was required to remeasure the benefit obligation of this plan. The amendment and remeasurement resulted in a decrease in nonpension postretirement benefit obligations and a corresponding decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss, which is reflected in the changes in benefit obligations from actuarial losses/(gains) in the table below. The remeasurement reflects the use of an updated discount rate and actual return on plan assets as of July 31, 2022, applying the practical expedient to remeasure plan assets and obligations as of the nearest calendar month-end date.

The following table presents the changes in benefit obligations and plan assets of the company’s retirement related benefit plans affected by the interim remeasurements described above for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Organization of Information:

On November 3, 2021, we completed the separation of our managed infrastructure services unit into a new public company with the distribution of 80.1 percent of the outstanding common stock of Kyndryl Holdings, Inc. (Kyndryl) to IBM stockholders on a pro rata basis. To affect the separation, IBM stockholders received one share of Kyndryl common stock for every five shares of IBM common stock held at the close of business on October 25, 2021, the record date for the distribution. IBM retained 19.9 percent of the shares of Kyndryl common stock immediately following the separation with the intent to dispose of such shares within twelve months after the distribution. The company accounts for the retained Kyndryl common stock as a fair value investment included within prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet with subsequent fair value changes included in other (income) and expense in the Consolidated Income Statement. On May 23,As of September 30, 2022, the companywe transferred 22,301,536 (22.3 million) shares of Kyndryl common stock, equal to 9.95 percent or half of the company’sall 19.9 percent retained interest in Kyndryl common stock pursuant to exchange agreements with a third-party financial institution pursuant to an exchange agreement.institution. Refer to note 8, “Financial Assets & Liabilities,” for additional information.

The accounting requirements for reporting the separation of Kyndryl as a discontinued operation were met when the separation was completed. Accordingly, the historical results of Kyndryl are presented as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. Consolidated diluted earningsearnings/(loss) per share includes the results of discontinued operations. Refer to note 3, “Separation of Kyndryl,” for additional information.

In the first quarter of 2022, the company realigned its management structure to reflect the planned divestiture of its healthcare software assets which was completed in the second quarter of 2022. This change impacted the company’s Software segment and Other–divested businesses category. In the fourth quarter of 2021, immediately prior to the

54

separation of Kyndryl, the company made a number of changes to its organizational structure and management system.

53

Table of Contents

Management Discussion – (continued)

These changes impacted the company’s reportable segments but did not impact the Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to note 5, “Segments,” for additional information on the company’s reportable segments. The segments are reported on a comparable basis for all periods.

In September 2022, the IBM Qualified Personal Pension Plan (Qualified PPP) purchased two separate nonparticipating single premium group annuity contracts from The Prudential Insurance Company of America and Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (collectively, the Insurers) and irrevocably transferred to the Insurers approximately $16 billion of the Qualified PPP’s defined benefit pension obligations and related plan assets, thereby reducing our pension obligations and assets by the same amount. The group annuity contracts were purchased using assets of the Qualified PPP and no additional funding contribution was required from the company. As a result of this transaction, we recognized a one-time, non-cash, pre-tax pension settlement charge of $5.9 billion ($4.4 billion net of tax) in the third quarter of 2022, primarily related to the accelerated recognition of accumulated actuarial losses of the Qualified PPP. The company was also required to remeasure the benefit obligation and plan assets of the Qualified PPP. Refer to note 18, “Retirement-Related Benefits,” for additional information.

To provide useful decision-making information for management and shareholders, the company defines and measures hybrid cloud revenue as end-to-end cloud capabilities within hybrid cloud environments, which includes technology (software and hardware), services and solutions to enable clients to implement cloud solutions across public, private and multi-clouds. The definition of hybrid cloud revenue is consistent with the prior methodology for cloud revenue historically presented. This spans across IBM’s Consulting, Software and Infrastructure segments. Examples include (but are not limited to) Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Red Hat OpenShift, Cloud Paks, as-a-service offerings, service engagements related to cloud deployment of technology and applications, and infrastructure used in cloud deployments.

Within the tables presented, certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers for disclosure purposes. Percentages presented are calculated from the underlying whole-dollar amounts. Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation. This is annotated where applicable.

Currency:

The references to “adjusted for currency” or “at constant currency” in the Management Discussion do not include operational impacts that could result from fluctuations in foreign currency rates. When we refer to growth rates at constant currency or adjust such growth rates for currency, it is done 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 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. Refer to “Currency Rate Fluctuations” for additional information.

Operating (non-GAAP) Earnings:

In an effort to provide better transparency into the operational results of the business, supplementally, management separates business results into operating and non-operating categories. Operating earnings from continuing operations is a non-GAAP measure that excludes the effects of certain acquisition-related charges, intangible asset amortization, expense resulting from basis differences on equity method investments, retirement-related costs, certain impacts from the Kyndryl separation and their related tax impacts. Due to the unique, non-recurring nature of the enactment of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (U.S. tax reform), management characterizes the one-time provisional charge recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017 and adjustments to that charge as non-operating. Adjustments include true-ups, accounting elections and any changes to regulations, laws, audit adjustments, etc. that affect the recorded one-time charge. Management also characterizes direct and incremental charges incurred related to the Kyndryl separation as non-operatingnon-

55

Table of Contents

Management Discussion – (continued)

operating given their unique and non-recurring nature. These charges primarily relate to any net unrealized gains or losses on the Kyndryl common stock and the related cash-settled swap with a third-party financial institution, which are recorded in other (income) and expense in the Consolidated Income Statement. The Kyndryl shares were retained by the company immediately following the separation, with the intent to dispose of such shares within twelve months after the distribution. For acquisitions, operating (non-GAAP) earnings exclude the amortization of purchased intangible assets and acquisition-related charges such as in-process research and development, transaction costs, applicable retention, restructuring and related expenses, tax charges related to acquisition integration and pre-closing charges, such as financing costs. These charges are excluded as they may be inconsistent in amount and timing from period to period and are significantly impacted by the size, type and frequency of the company’s acquisitions. All other spending for acquired companies is included in both earnings from continuing operations and in operating (non-GAAP) earnings. Throughout the Management Discussion, the impact of acquisitions over the prior 12 month period may be a driver of higher expense year to year. For retirement-related costs, management characterizes certain items as operating and others as

54

Table of Contents

Management Discussion – (continued)

non-operating, consistent with GAAP. We include defined benefit plan and nonpension postretirement benefit plan service costs, multi-employer plan costs and the cost of defined contribution plans in operating earnings. Non-operating retirement-related costs include defined benefit plan and nonpension postretirement benefit plan amortization of prior service costs, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortized actuarial gains/losses, the impacts of any plan curtailments/settlements including a one-time, non-cash, pre-tax settlement charge of $5.9 billion ($4.4 billion, net of tax) in the third quarter of 2022 and pension insolvency costs and other costs. Non-operating retirement-related costs are primarily related to changes in pension plan assets and liabilities which are tied to financial market performance, and the company considers these costs to be outside of the operational performance of the business.

Overall, management believes that supplementally providing investors with a view of operating earnings 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. In addition, these non-GAAP measures provide a perspective consistent with areas of interest we routinely receive from investors and analysts. Our reportable segment financial results reflect pre-tax operating earnings from continuing operations, consistent with our management and measurement system.

The following table provides the company’s operating (non-GAAP) earnings for the secondthird quarter of 2022 and 2021.

Management Discussion – (continued)

Macroeconomic Environment:

Throughout 2022, we have seen escalating labor and component costs and a strengthening of the U.S. dollar. Consulting, which makes up well over half of IBM’s workforce, is most impacted by the labor cost inflation. While those dynamics continue to put pressure on our margin profile, we are seeing progress in the actions we have taken to mitigate the impacts of these higher costs. We have begun to see improved utilization, acquisitions progressing toward margin accretion and priced margin improvements year over year that will benefit our margin profile going forward. Additionally, across all of our product-based businesses, we have executed price increases above our historical level of increases to be more reflective of the labor and component costs we are incurring due to the inflationary environment and to mitigate the impacts of currency. This includes price increases in our support and maintenance agreements for our hardware and software portfolios. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar impacted our reported revenue and gross profit dollars. We execute hedging programs which defer but do not eliminate the impact of currency. The gains from these hedging programs are reflected primarily in other income and expense. With the rate and magnitude of movements, and because we do not hedge all currencies, we do have a currency impact to our overall profit and cash flows. See “Currency Rate Fluctuations,” for additional information.

The geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe intensified in February 2022, with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The safety and security of our employees and their families in the impacted regions has been our primary focus. We have provided our employees with relocation assistance, financial support and other forms of direct engagement and IBM employees from around the world have mobilized and participated in multiple volunteer initiatives, showcasing the best of IBM values and culture.

The Russian war in Ukraine resulted in the U.S., UK, and the European Union member governments, among others, placing economic sanctions placed on numerous Russian entities, specific Russian-controlled entities, as well as Belarus. In March 2022, IBM announced the suspension of its business activities in Russia. As the uncertainty about the long-term ramificationsBelarus and other measures that have been and continue to be imposed as a result of the war grew, in Mayhave increased the level of economic and political uncertainty. In the second quarter of 2022, IBMwe made the decision to carry out an orderly wind-down of itsour Russian operations. For the period ended June 30, 2022,As such, we assessed certain accounting-related matters that generally require consideration of current information reasonably available to us and forecasted financial data in the context of unknown future impacts to IBM as a result of the wind-down. These assessmentsthat resulted in certain immaterial asset and restructuring charges forin the second quarter ended June 30,of 2022. These charges, together with the year-to-year lost business due to the wind-down, impacted our pre-tax income by approximately $100$180 million for the threenine months ended JuneSeptember 30,

2022. The long-term impacts of the Russian war in Ukraine remain uncertain; however, we do not expect a significant impact on the company’s future results of operations or financial position. For full year 2021, Russia, Ukraine and Belarus made up less than one percent of the company’s full year revenue. While the revenue impact is not expected to be material to total consolidated IBM revenue for the full year 2022, the business in Russia has historically been high margin and therefore, will continue to be a headwind to our profit and cash flows.

In the third year of the COVID-19 pandemic, our priority continues to be the health of IBM employees, our clients, business partners and community. Our objective in returning to the workplace is to allow IBM locations to safely accommodate in-person working during pandemic conditions that are constantly changing. Our approach has enabled hundreds of locations to safely reopen, adhering to IBM protocols and adjusting capacity levels through periods where conditions may be improving or worsening over time. The pandemic has reinforced the need for clients to modernize their businesses to succeed in this new normal, with hybrid cloud and AI at the core of their digital transformations.

Financial Performance Summary — Three Months Ended JuneSeptember 30:

In the secondthird quarter of 2022, we reported $15.5$14.1 billion in revenue, incomea loss from continuing operations of $1.5$3.2 billion, andwhich includes the impact of a one-time, non-cash, pre-tax pension settlement charge of $5.9 billion ($4.4 billion net of tax). The pension settlement charge was the result of the transfer to Insurers of a portion of our U.S. benefit pension obligations, an action we took to further reduce the risk profile of our worldwide retirement-related plans. Our operating (non-GAAP) earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $1.7 billion, which excludes the impact of $2.1 billion.the pension settlement charge, among other items. Diluted earningsloss per share from continuing operations was $1.61$3.55 as reported, including an impact of $4.86 from the pension settlement charge, and $2.31diluted earnings per share was $1.81 on an operating (non-GAAP) basis. On a consolidated basis, we generated $1.3$1.9 billion in cash from operations and $2.1$0.8 billion in free cash flow. We delivered shareholder returns of $1.5 billion in dividends. These results reflect the investments, portfolio actionsdividends and operational changes we have made to execute our hybrid cloud and AI strategy and the strong demand for our solutions. Our balance sheet continues to provide us with the flexibility to support our business needs. These results reflect our continued focus on the execution of our strategy and the solid demand for our hybrid cloud and AI solutions.

Total revenue grew 9.36.5 percent as reported and 1615 percent adjusted for currency compared to the prior-year period. This includes incremental sales to Kyndryl which contributed approximately 5 points to the revenue growth. Software delivered revenue growth of 6.47.5 percent as reported and 1214 percent adjusted for currency, including approximately 78 points of growth from incremental sales to Kyndryl. Within Software, Hybrid Platform & Solutions increased 4.32.4 percent as reported and 98 percent adjusted for currency, with incremental sales to Kyndryl contributing approximately 1.5 points of this growth. TherePerformance was solid performance across all business areas, led by continued strong double-digit growth in Red Hat.

Infrastructure revenue increased 19.014.8 percent year to year as reported and 2523 percent adjusted for currency, reflecting the solid execution aroundstrong double-digit growth in Hybrid Infrastructure driven primarily by our new z16 program. The Infrastructure revenue performance also includes approximately 79 points of growth from incremental sales to Kyndryl. Across the segments, total hybrid cloud revenue of $5.9$5.2 billion in the secondthird quarter of 2022 grew 1811 percent as reported and 2419 percent adjusted for currency. Over the trailing 12 months, total hybrid cloud revenue was $21.7$22.2 billion, up 1615 percent as reported (19(20 percent adjusted for currency) year to year.

From a geographic perspective, Americas revenue grew 14.312.7 percent year to year as reported (15(13 percent adjusted for currency).

Gross margin of 53.452.7 percent decreased 1.91.0 points year to year, however, gross profit dollars grew 4.6 percent compared to the prior-year period driven by strong revenue performance in our high-value businesses. Overall gross margin was impacted by escalatingthe investments we are making to drive our hybrid cloud and AI strategy, higher labor and component costs. These higher costs and the impacts of currency, while the mitigating hedging benefits and operational productivity and efficiency we have realized are being addressed through our pricing, however, it will take some time for these actions to beprimarily reflected in our margin profile.expense. Operating (non-GAAP) gross margin of 54.553.8 percent decreased 2.01.2 points compared to the prior yearprior-year period for similar reasons.

Total expense and other (income) decreased 5.4increased 89.6 percent in the secondthird quarter of 2022 versus the prior-year period primarily driven by the pension settlement charge of $5.9 billion and higher spending reflecting our continuing focus on our portfolio and investment in our offerings, technical talent and ecosystem, partially offset by the effects of currency a gain from the divestiture of our healthcare software assets, lower non-operating retirement-related costs and benefits from the actions taken to streamline operations and simplify our go-to-market model. This was partially offset by impacts related to the Kyndryl retained shares and higher spending reflecting our continuing investment in innovation, talent and our ecosystem. Total operating (non-GAAP) expense and other (income) decreased 1.0 percent year to year, driven primarily by the factors described above, excluding the pension settlement charge.

Pre-tax loss from continuing operations was $4.5 billion in the third quarter of 2022 compared with pre-tax income of $0.8 billion in the prior-year period with the year-to-year decline driven by the $5.9 billion pension settlement charge. Pre-tax margin was down 38.0 points year to year to (31.9) percent reflecting the impact of the charge. The continuing operations benefit from income taxes in the third quarter of 2022 was $1.3 billion compared to a benefit of $0.2 billion in the third quarter of 2021. The current-year tax benefit is primarily due to the pension settlement charge. The prior-year

These profit dynamics reflect our portfolio shift toward higher value, led by software. Our pre-tax incomeprofit includes a gainthe contribution from incremental sales to Kyndryl and the salenegative impacts of our healthcare software assets of $232 million, which was partially offset by charges from stranded costs associated with the divestiture and losses relatedcurrency primarily due to the health businessstrengthening of approximately $75 million.

Our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, include the cash flows of discontinued operations. On a consolidated basis, in the third quarter of 2022, we generated $1.9 billion in cash flow provided by operating activities, a decrease of $0.8 billion compared to the third quarter of 2021, primarily driven by a decrease in cash provided by financing receivables. Net cash used in investing activities of $1.7 billion increased $1.1 billion compared to the prior-year period, primarily driven by an increase in cash used in net marketable securities and other investments of $1.3 billion. Financing activities were a net source of cash of $0.7 billion in the third quarter of 2022, compared to a net use of cash of $1.7 billion in the prior-year period primarily due to higher net issuances of debt in the current year.

Financial Performance Summary —Nine Months Ended September 30:

In the first nine months of 2022, we reported $43.8 billion in revenue, a loss from continuing operations of $1.1 billion, including a one-time, non-cash, pre-tax pension settlement charge of $5.9 billion ($4.4 billion net of tax), and operating (non-GAAP) earnings of $5.0 billion, which excludes the impact of the settlement charge. Diluted loss per share from continuing operations was $1.21 as reported, including an impact of $4.86 from the pension settlement charge, and diluted earnings per share was $5.52 on an operating (non-GAAP) basis. On a consolidated basis, we generated $6.5 billion in cash from operations and $4.1 billion in free cash flow. We delivered shareholder returns of $4.5 billion in dividends.

Total revenue grew 7.8 percent as reported and 14 percent adjusted for currency compared to the prior-year period. This includes incremental sales to Kyndryl which contributed 5 points to the revenue growth. Software delivered revenue growth of 8.6 percent as reported and 14 percent adjusted for currency, with growth in both Hybrid Platform & Solutions and Transaction Processing. The Software revenue performance includes approximately 8 points of growth from incremental sales to Kyndryl. Consulting revenue increased 9.5 percent as reported and 17 percent adjusted for currency, with growth across all three business areas. Infrastructure revenue increased 10.6 percent year to year as reported and 16 percent adjusted for currency, with approximately 8 points of growth from incremental sales to Kyndryl. As the separation of Kyndryl occurred in early November 2021, the impact of these incremental sales to growth was largely in the first three quarters of this year.

From a geographic perspective, Americas revenue grew 12.1 percent year to year as reported (12 percent adjusted for currency). EMEA increased 4.4 percent (16 percent adjusted for currency). Asia Pacific grew 2.6 percent (14 percent adjusted for currency).

Gross margin of 52.6 percent decreased 1.5 points year to year, however, gross profit dollars grew 4.9 percent compared to the prior-year period. Overall gross margin was impacted by the investments we are making to drive our hybrid cloud and AI strategy, higher labor and component costs and the impacts of currency, while the mitigating hedging benefits and operational productivity and efficiency we have realized are primarily reflected in expense. Operating (non-GAAP) gross margin of 53.8 percent decreased 1.6 points versus the prior year for similar reasons.

Total expense and other (income) increased 25.9 percent in the first nine months of 2022 versus the prior-year period primarily driven by the pension settlement charge of $5.9 billion, impacts of $0.4 billion related to the Kyndryl retained shares and higher spending reflecting continuing investment in our hybrid cloud and AI strategy, partially offset by the effects of currency, a gain from the divestiture of our healthcare software assets, lower workforce rebalancing charges and benefits from the actions taken to streamline operations and our go-to-market model. Total operating (non-GAAP) expense and other (income) decreased 3.3 percent year to year, driven primarily by the factors described above excluding the pension settlement charge and the impacts related to the Kyndryl retained shares.

Pre-tax loss from continuing operations was $2.2 billion in the first nine months of 2022 compared with pre-tax income of $2.0 billion in the prior-year period with the year-to-year decline driven by the $5.9 billion pension settlement charge. Pre-tax margin was down 9.8 points year to year to (4.9) percent reflecting the impact of the charge. The continuing operations benefit from income taxes in the first nine months of 2022 was $1.1 billion, compared to a benefit of $0.3 billion in the first nine months of 2021. The increase compared to the prior year was primarily due to the pension settlement charge in the third quarter of 2022. Net loss from continuing operations was $1.1 billion compared with net income of $2.3 billion in the prior-year period and the net income/(loss) from continuing operations margin of (2.5) percent was down 8.0 points year to year.

Operating (non-GAAP) pre-tax income from continuing operations of $6.0 billion increased 38.1 percent compared to the prior-year period and the operating (non-GAAP) pre-tax margin from continuing operations increased 3.0 points to 13.7 percent. These profit dynamics reflect our portfolio shift toward higher value, led by software. Our pre-tax profit includes the contribution from incremental sales to Kyndryl and the negative impacts of currency primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar. The operating (non-GAAP) provision for income taxes was $969 million in the first

nine months of 2022, compared to $204 million in the first nine months of 2021. The increase compared to the prior year was primarily driven by the resolution of certain tax audits in the first quarter of 2021 as well as third-quarter 2021 events that resulted in additional anticipated utilization of U.S. foreign tax credits. Operating (non-GAAP) income from continuing operations of $5.0 billion increased 21.5 percent and the operating (non-GAAP) income margin from continuing operations of 11.5 percent was up 1.3 points year to year.

Diluted loss per share from continuing operations was $1.21 in the first nine months of 2022, including an impact of $4.86 from the pension settlement charge, compared to diluted earnings per share of $2.49 in the prior-year period. Operating (non-GAAP) diluted earnings per share of $5.52 increased 20.5 percent versus the prior-year period.

Consolidated diluted loss per share in the first nine months of 2022 was $1.19 compared to diluted earnings per share of $3.77 in the prior-year period. This includes the impact from the pension settlement charge and a year-to-year reduction of $1.26 from discontinued operations due to the separation of Kyndryl.

Our balance sheet at September 30, 2022 continues to provide us with the flexibility to support the business. Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities at September 30, 2022 were $9.7 billion, an increase of $2.2 billion from December 31, 2021. Total debt of $50.9 billion at September 30, 2022 decreased $0.8 billion driven by currency impacts, partially offset by net debt issuances.

Key drivers in the balance sheet and total cash flows were:

Total assets decreased $6.2 billion (flat adjusted for currency) from December 31, 2021 driven by:

A decrease in receivables of $3.3 billion ($1.9 billion adjusted for currency) primarily due to collections of higher year-end balances, partially offset by current-year business volumes;
A decrease in goodwill and net intangible assets of $3.0 billion ($0.9 billion adjusted for currency) primarily driven by currency impacts, intangibles amortization and derecognition of goodwill and intangible assets of $0.6 billion related to the divestiture of our healthcare software assets, partially offset by additions from new acquisitions; and
A decrease in net property, plant and equipment and operating right-of-use assets of $1.0 billion ($0.5 billion adjusted for currency); partially offset by
An increase in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities of $2.2 billion ($2.7 billion adjusted for currency).

Total liabilities decreased $7.3 billion ($0.9 billion adjusted for currency) from December 31, 2021 driven by:

A decrease in retirement and nonpension postretirement benefit obligations of $2.7 billion ($1.4 billion adjusted for currency) of which $0.6 billion is due to the amendment and remeasurement impact of the U.S. Nonpension Postretirement Plan;
A decrease in deferred income of $1.9 billion ($0.8 billion adjusted for currency) reflecting seasonal reductions from higher year-end balances;
A decrease in total debt of $0.8 billion (an increase of $1.4 billion adjusted for currency) primarily driven by maturities of $5.4 billion and currency impacts, partially offset by issuances of $7.9 billion; and
A decrease in taxes payable of $0.6 billion ($0.4 billion adjusted for currency) primarily due to indirect tax payments.

Total equity of $20.1 billion increased $1.2 billion from December 31, 2021 as a result of:

A decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $6.1 billion driven by retirement-related benefit plans primarily due to the pension settlement charge of $4.4 billion net of tax; and
Common stock issuances of $0.7 billion; partially offset by
Dividends paid of $4.5 billion; and
Net loss of $1.1 billion primarily due to the pension settlement charge.

Our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, include the cash flows of discontinued operations. On a consolidated basis, cash provided by operating activities was $1.3$6.5 billion in the second quarterfirst nine months of 2022, a decrease of $1.3$3.8 billion compared to the second quarterfirst nine months of 2021, primarily driven bydue to a decrease in cash provided by financing receivables. Investing activities were a net source of cash of $0.2 billion in the current quarter, compared to a net use of cash of $2.7 billion in the prior-year period, with the year-to-year change primarilyreceivables driven by a decrease in net cash used in acquisitions and an increase in cash provided by divestitures. Net cash used in financing activitieshigher prior-year sales of $4.2 billion in the second quarter of 2022 increased $1.1 billion compared to the prior-year period.

Gross margin of 52.6 percent decreased 1.7 points year to year, however, gross profit dollars grew compared to the prior-year period. Overall, gross margin was impacted by the significant investments we are making to drive our hybrid cloud and AI strategy and by higher labor and component costs. Operating (non-GAAP) gross margin of 53.8 percent decreased 1.8 points versus the prior year for similar reasons.

Total expense and other (income) decreased 3.2 percent in the first six months of 2022 versus the prior-year period primarily driven by the effects of currency, a gain from the divestiture of our healthcare software assets, lower non-operating retirement-related costs, benefits from the actions taken to streamline operations and simplify our go-to-market model and lower spending for shared services transferred to Kyndryl. This was partially offset by impacts related to the Kyndryl retained shares and higher spending reflecting our continuing investment in innovation, our ecosystem and talent. Total operating (non-GAAP) expense and other (income) decreased 4.3 percent year to year, driven primarily by the factors described above excluding the lower non-operating retirement-related costs and the impacts related to the Kyndryl retained shares.

Pre-tax income from continuing operations of $2.3 billion increased 103.0 percent and pre-tax margin was 7.9 percent, an increase of 3.7 points versus the first six months of 2021. The continuing operations provision for income taxes in the first six months of 2022 was $218 million, compared to a benefit from income taxes of $58 million in the first six months of 2021. The increase in the continuing operations tax provision in the first six months of 2022 compared to the prior year was primarily driven by tax impacts from the resolution of certain tax audits in the first quarter of 2021. Net income from continuing operations of $2.1 billion increased 75.3 percent and the net income from continuing operations margin was 7.2 percent, up 2.7 points year to year.

Operating (non-GAAP) pre-tax income from continuing operations of $4.0 billion increased 47.2 percent and the operating (non-GAAP) pre-tax margin from continuing operations increased 3.6 points to 13.6 percent. The operating (non-GAAP) provision for income taxes was $657 million in the first six months of 2022, compared to $272 million in the first six months of 2021. The increase in the operating (non-GAAP) income tax provision in the first six months of 2022 compared to the prior year was primarily driven by the same factor described above. Operating (non-GAAP) income from continuing operations of $3.4 billion increased 36.7 percent and the operating (non-GAAP) income margin from continuing operations of 11.4 percent was up 2.3 points year to year.

Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was $2.34 in the first six months of 2022 compared to $1.34 in the prior year, an increase of 74.6 percent and operating (non-GAAP) diluted earnings per share of $3.71 increased 35.9 percent versus the prior-year period.

Consolidated diluted earnings per share in the first six months of 2022 was $2.34 compared to $2.52 in the prior-year period. This includes a year-to-year reduction of $1.18 from discontinued operations due to the separation of Kyndryl.

Management Discussion – (continued)

Our balance sheet at June 30, 2022 continues to provide us with the flexibility to support the business. Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities at June 30, 2022 were $7.8 billion, an increase of $0.2 billion from December 31, 2021. Total debt of $50.3 billion at June 30, 2022 decreased $1.4 billion primarily driven by currency impacts.

Key drivers in the balance sheet and total cash flows were:

Total assets decreased $4.5 billion ($1.0 billion adjusted for currency) from December 31, 2021 driven by:

A decrease in receivables of $1.9 billion ($1.0 billion adjusted for currency) primarily due to collections of higher year-end balances;
A decrease in goodwill and net intangible assets of $1.5 billion ($0.4 billion adjusted for currency) primarily driven by currency impacts, intangibles amortization and derecognition of goodwill and intangible assets of $0.6 billion related to the divestiture of our healthcare software assets; and
A decrease in net property, plant and equipment and operating right-of-use assets of $0.8 billion ($0.5 billion adjusted for currency); partially offset by
An increase in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities of $0.2 billion ($0.6 billion adjusted for currency).

Total liabilities decreased $5.0 billion ($0.6 billion adjusted for currency) from December 31, 2021 driven by:

A decrease in total debt of $1.4 billion ($0.1 billion adjusted for currency) primarily driven by maturities and currency impacts, partially offset by issuances;
A decrease in retirement and nonpension postretirement benefit obligations of $1.3 billion ($0.6 billion adjusted for currency); and
A decrease in taxes payable of $0.5 billion ($0.4 billion adjusted for currency) primarily due to indirect tax payments.

Total equity of $19.5 billion increased $0.5 billion from December 31, 2021 as a result of:

Net income of $2.1 billion;
A decrease in accumulated other comprehensive losses of $1.1 billion driven by retirement-related benefit plans, cash flow hedges and foreign currency translation adjustments; and
Common stock of $0.4 billion; partially offset by
Dividends paid of $3.0 billion.

Our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, include the cash flows of discontinued operations. On a consolidated basis, cash provided by operating activities was $4.6 billion in the first six months of 2022, a decrease of $3.0 billion compared to the first six months of 2021, primarily driven by a decrease in cash provided by financing receivables. Net cash used in investing activities of $1.2$2.9 billion decreased $3.5$2.4 billion compared to the prior-year period. Financing activities were a net use of cash of $2.8$2.1 billion in the first sixnine months of 2022 compared to $8.9$10.7 billion in the first sixnine months of 2021.

For the second quarter of 2022,Across Hybrid Platform & Solutions, grewour annual recurring revenue (ARR) by 8was $13 billion, up 9 percent compared to the prior-year period. ARR is a key performance metric management uses to assess the health and growth trajectory of our Hybrid Platform & Solutions business within the Software segment. ARR is calculated by estimating the current quarter’s recurring, committed value for certain types of active contracts as of the period-end date and then multiplying that value by four. This value is based on each arrangement’s contract value and start date, mitigating fluctuations during the contract term, and includes the following consumption models: (1) software subscription agreements, including committed term licenses, (2) as-a-service arrangements such as SaaS and PaaS, (3) maintenance and support contracts, and (4) security managed services contracts. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue as this performance metric and its inputs may not represent the amount of revenue recognized in the period and therefore is not intended to represent current period revenue or revenue that will be recognized in future periods. ARR is calculated at estimated constant currency.

Transaction Processing revenue of $1,776 million increased 11.9 percent as reported (19 percent adjusted for currency) in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the prior-year period. Incremental sales to Kyndryl contributed approximately 22 points to the revenue growth. We continued to have strong renewal rates for this mission-critical software.

The increase in zSystems installed capacity over the last couple of product cycles and continued strong renewal rates are recognition of the importance of this platform in a hybrid cloud environment. As a result, the Transaction Processing annuity base grew this quarter.

Signings are management’s initial estimate of the value of a client’s commitment under a services contract within IBM Consulting. There are no third-party standards or requirements governing the calculation of signings. The calculation used by management involves estimates and judgments to gauge the extent of a client’s commitment, including the type and duration of the agreement, and the presence of termination charges or wind-down costs.

Contract extensions and increases in scope are treated as signings only to the extent of the incremental new value. Total signings can vary over time due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the timing of signing a small number of larger contracts. Signings associated with an acquisition will be recognized on a prospective basis.

Management believes the estimated values of signings disclosed provide an indication of our forward-looking revenue. Signings are used to monitor the performance of the business and viewed as useful information for management and shareholders. The conversion of signings into revenue may vary based on the types of services and solutions,

contract duration, customer decisions, and other factors, which may include, but are not limited to, the macroeconomic environment.

Book-to-bill represents the ratio of IBM Consulting signings to its revenue over the same period. The metric is a useful indicator of the demand of our business over time. This definition should be read in conjunction with the signings definition noted above.

Total pre-tax retirement-related plan cost decreased by $155for the first nine months of 2022 increased $5,401 million compared to the second quarterfirst nine months of 2021, primarily due to an increase in curtailments/settlements ($5,885 million) driven by the pension settlement charge, higher interest costs ($136 million), partially offset by a decrease in recognized actuarial losses ($175569 million), and lower cost of defined contribution plans ($1963 million), partially offset by higher interest costs ($50 million). Total cost for the first six months of 2022 decreased $307 million compared to the first six months of 2021, primarily driven by a decrease in recognized actuarial losses ($337 million), lower cost of defined contribution plans ($36 million) and higher expected return on plan assets ($22 million) partially offset by higher interest costs ($108 million).

As described in the “Operating (non-GAAP) Earnings” section, management characterizes certain retirement-related costs as operating and others as non-operating. Utilizing this characterization, operating retirement-related costs in the secondthird quarter of 2022 were $298$288 million, a decrease of $30$36 million compared to the secondthird quarter of 2021. For the first sixnine months of 2022, operating retirement-related costs were $606$894 million, a decrease of $52$88 million compared to the prior-year period. These operating cost decreases were primarily driven by lower cost of defined contribution plans. Non-operating costs of $192$6,062 million in the secondthird quarter of 2022 decreased $125increased $5,744 million year to year and for the first sixnine months of 2022 were $394$6,455 million, a decreasean increase of $256$5,488 million compared to the prior-year period.

The continuing operations provision forbenefit from income taxes for the secondthird quarter of 2022 was $257$1,287 million, compared to $101a benefit of $224 million in the secondthird quarter of 2021. The current-year tax benefit was primarily due to the transfer of a portion of the Qualified PPP’s defined benefit pension obligations and related plan assets. The prior-year tax benefit was primarily driven by events that resulted in additional anticipated utilization of U.S. foreign tax credits. The operating (non-GAAP) income tax provision for the secondthird quarter of 2022 was $413 million, compared to $246 million in the second quarter of 2021.

The continuing operations provision for income taxes for the first six months of 2022 was $218$312 million, compared to a benefit from income taxes of $58$67 million in the third quarter of 2021. The current-year tax provision was driven by many factors including the impacts of the geographical mix of income, incentives and changes in unrecognized tax benefits and tax laws. The prior-year tax benefit was primarily driven by events that resulted in additional anticipated utilization of U.S. foreign tax credits.

The continuing operations benefit from income taxes for the first nine months of 2022 was $1,070 million, compared to a benefit of $282 million for the first sixnine months of 2021. The increase compared to the prior year was primarily driven by the transfer of a portion of the Qualified PPP’s defined benefit pension obligations and related plan assets in the third quarter of 2022. The operating (non-GAAP) provision for income taxes for the first sixnine months of 2022 was $657$969 million, compared to $272$204 million for the first sixnine months of 2021.

Management Discussion – (continued)

IBM’s full-year tax provision and effective tax rate are impacted by recurring factors including the geographic mix of income before taxes, incentives, changes in unrecognized tax benefits and discrete tax events, such as the settlement of income tax audits and changes in or new interpretations of tax laws. The GAAP tax provision and effective tax rate could also be affected by adjustments to the previously recorded charges for U.S. tax reform attributable to any changes in law, new regulations and guidance, and audit adjustments, among others.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) concluded its examination of the company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for 2013 and 2014, which had a specific focus on certain cross-border transactions that occurred in 2013, and issued a final Revenue Agent’s Report (RAR). The IRS’ proposed adjustments relative to these cross-border transactions, if sustained, would result in additional taxable income of approximately $4.5 billion. The company strongly disagrees with the IRS on these specific matters and filed its IRS Appeals protest in the first quarter of 2021. In the third quarter of 2018, the IRS commenced its audit of the company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for 2015 and 2016. The company anticipates that this audit will be completed in 2022.2022 or early 2023. In the fourth quarter of 2021, the IRS commenced its audit of the company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for 2017 and 2018. With respect to major U.S. state and foreign taxing jurisdictions, the company is generally no longer subject to tax examinations for years prior to 2015.

The open years contain matters that could be subject to differing interpretations of applicable tax laws and regulations as it relates to the amount and/or timing of income, deductions, and tax credits. Although the outcome of tax audits is always uncertain, the company believes that adequate amounts of tax, interest and penalties have been provided for any adjustments that are expected to result for these years.

At JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the company had recorded $676$704 million as prepaid income taxes in India. A significant portion of this balance represents cash tax deposits paid over time to protect the company’s right to appeal various income tax assessments made by the India Tax Authorities.tax authorities. Although the outcome of tax audits is always uncertain, the company believes that adequate amounts of tax, interest and penalties have been provided for any adjustments that are expected to result for these years.

The amount of unrecognized tax benefits at JuneSeptember 30, 2022 is $8,597$8,531 million which can be reduced by $540$538 million associated with timing adjustments, U.S. tax credits, potential transfer pricing adjustments, and state income taxes. The net amount of $8,057$7,993 million, if recognized, would favorably affect the company’s effective tax rate.

EarningsEarnings/(Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options and stock awards.

Financial Position

Dynamics

Our balance sheet at JuneSeptember 30, 2022 continues to provide us with flexibility to support the business.

Cash, restricted cash and marketable securities at JuneSeptember 30, 2022 were $7,778$9,728 million, an increase of $222$2,171 million from December 31, 2021. Total debt of $50,309$50,880 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2022 decreased $1,394$824 million from December 31, 2021 primarily driven by currency impacts. We continue to manage our debt levels while being acquisitive and without sacrificing investments in our business or our solid dividend policy.

Our cash flow is presented on a consolidated basis and includes discontinued operations. Refer to note 3, “Separation of Kyndryl,” for additional information. In the first sixnine months of 2022, we generated $4,569$6,470 million in cash from operating activities, compared to $7,539$10,252 million in the first sixnine months of 2021, primarily due to financing receivables. There was no cash flow impact from the U.S. pension settlement charge. We also invested $958$1,020 million in acquisitions, generated $1,271 million from divested businesses and returned $2,963$4,454 million to shareholders through dividends in the first sixnine months of 2022. Our cash generation permits us to invest and deploy capital to areas with the most attractive long-term opportunities.

Our pension plans were well funded at the end of 2021, with worldwide qualified plans funded at 107 percent. Overall pension funded status as of the end of JuneSeptember 2022 has increased from year-end 2021, mainlyprimarily due to higher interest rates.rates and the settlement of approximately $16 billion of the U.S. Qualified PPP’s defined benefit pension obligations. After the settlement and remeasurement, the U.S. Qualified PPP remained in an overfunded position at September 30, 2022. Refer to note 18, “Retirement-Related Benefits,” for additional information. We currently have no change to expected plan contributions in 2022.

Results of Discontinued Operations

LossIncome from discontinued operations, net of tax was $73$18 million in the secondthird quarter of 2022 compared to income of $515$93 million in the prior-year period. For the first sixnine months of 2022, lossincome from discontinued operations, net of tax was $2$16 million compared to income of $1,067$1,160 million in the prior-year period. As the separation of Kyndryl occurred on November 3, 2021, the first halfyear-to-date discontinued operations results as of September 30, 2021 included a full sixnine months of Kyndryl operations. The lossincome in the secondthird quarter of 2022 primarily reflects the net impact of changes in separation-related estimates and the settlement of assets and liabilities in accordance with the separation and distribution agreement. The lossincome in the first sixnine months of 2022 reflects the same drivers as above and also includes income primarily related to a joint venture historically managed by Kyndryl, which did not transfer at separation due to the transfer being subject to regulatory approval. Upon receiving regulatory approval in the first quarter of 2022, the company sold its majority shares in the joint venture to Kyndryl. See note 3, “Separation of Kyndryl,” for additional information.

We are confident in the strategy that we are executing and in the fundamentals of our business. Our balance sheet and liquidity position remain strong. At JuneSeptember 30, 2022 we had $7.8$9.7 billion of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities and we continue to manage our debt levels while being acquisitive and without sacrificing investments in our business or our solid dividend policy. As we enter the fourth quarter, we look forward to closing out our first calendar year of “today’s IBM”. Since the separation of Kyndryl, IBM is now a more focused, faster-growing and higher-value company. We expect to continue our progress as a leading hybrid cloud and AI company with a focus on revenue growth and cash generation while maintaining our solid and modestly growing dividend policy. Our mid-term financial model was previously communicated at our investor briefing on October 4, 2021.

Retirement-Related Plans

Our pension plans are well funded. Contributions for all retirement-related plans are expected to be approximately $2.1$2.0 billion in 2022, approximately flat compared to 2021, of which $0.2 billion generally relates to legally required contributions to non-U.S. defined benefit and multi-employer plans. We expect 2022 pre-tax retirement-related plan cost to be approximately $2.1$7.8 billion, a decreasean increase of approximately $500 million$5.2 billion compared to 2021. The increase is primarily driven by a $5.9 billion settlement charge in the third quarter of 2022 resulting from the transfer of a portion of the U.S. Qualified PPP to insurance companies. This estimate reflects current pension plan assumptions at December 31, 2021.2021 and for the U.S. Qualified PPP and U.S. Nonpension Postretirement Plan, at August 31, 2022 and July 31, 2022, respectively. Within total retirement-related plan cost, operating retirement-related plan cost is expected to be approximately $1.2 billion, a decrease of approximately $100 million versus 2021. Non-operating retirement-related plan cost is expected to be approximately $0.9$6.6 billion, a decreasean increase of approximately $400 million$5.4 billion compared to 2021, primarily driven by the third-quarter 2022 settlement charge, partially offset by lower recognized actuarial losses and higher income from expected return on assets.

Currency Rate Fluctuations

In the second quarter ofThroughout 2022, there has been significant movementstrengthening of the U.S. dollar (USD) as compared to manymost other currencies. Changes in the relative values of non-U.S. currencies to the USD affect our financial results and financial position. At JuneSeptember 30, 2022, currency changes resulted in assets and liabilities denominated in local currencies being translated into fewer dollars than at year-end 2021. We use financial hedging instruments to limit specific currency risks related to financing transactions and other foreign currency-based transactions.

The combination of the rate, breadth and velocitymagnitude of movements in currency, and the fact that we do not hedge 100 percent of our currency exposures, will result in a currency impact to our profit and cash flows in 2022. We maintain currencyexecute a hedging programs for cash management purposesprogram which temporarily mitigate, but do not eliminate,defers, versus eliminates, the volatility of currency impacts on our financial results. During periods of sustained movements in currency, the marketplace and competition adjust to the changing rates over time.

We translate revenue, cost and expense in our non-U.S. operations at current exchange rates in the reported period. References to “adjusted for currency” or “constant currency” reflect adjustments based upon a simple mathematical formula. However, this constant currency methodology that we utilize to disclose this information does not incorporate any operational actions that management could take to mitigate fluctuating currency rates, such as updates to pricing and sourcing. Currency movements impacted our year-to-year revenue and earnings per share growthresults in the first sixnine months of 2022. Based on the currency rate movements in the first sixnine months of 2022, total revenue increased 8.57.8 percent as reported and 13.313.8 percent at constant currency versus the first sixnine months of 2021. On an incomeincome/(loss) from continuing

operations before income taxes basis, these translation impacts, mitigated by the net impact of hedging activities, resulted in a theoretical maximum (assuming no pricing or sourcing actions) decreaseincrease in loss of approximately $200$190 million in the first sixnine months of 2022 on an as-reported basis and a decrease in income of approximately $160$280 million on an operating (non-GAAP) basis. The same mathematical exercise resulted in an increase in income of approximately $65$95 million in the first sixnine months of 2021 on an as-reported basis and an increase of $100$130 million on an operating (non-GAAP) basis. We view these amounts as a theoretical maximum impact to our as-reported financial results. Considering the operational responses mentioned above, movements of exchange rates, and the nature and timing of hedging instruments, it is difficult to predict future currency impacts on any particular period.

For non-U.S. subsidiaries and branches that operate in U.S. dollars or whose economic environment is highly inflationary, translation adjustments are reflected in results of operations. Generally, we manage currency risk in these entities by linking prices and contracts to U.S. dollars.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In our 2021 Annual Report, on pages 47 to 49, there is a discussion of our liquidity including two tables that present three years of data. The table presented on page 47 includes net cash from operating activities, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term marketable securities, and the size of our global credit facilities for each of the past three years. For the sixnine months ended, or at, as applicable, JuneSeptember 30, 2022, those amounts are $4.6$6.5 billion of net cash from operating activities, $7.8$9.7 billion of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term marketable securities and $10.0 billion in global credit facilities, respectively. While we have no current plans to draw on these credit facilities, they are available as back-up liquidity. On June 30, 2022, the company amended its existing $2.5 billion Three-Year Credit Agreement and $7.5 billion Five-Year Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreements) to extend the maturity dates to June 20, 2025 and June 22, 2027, respectively, and to replace the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) interest rate provisions with customary provisions based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). Refer to note 12, “Borrowings,” for additional details on these credit facilities.

The major rating agencies' ratings on our debt securities at JuneSeptember 30, 2022 appear in the following table and remain unchanged from March 31,June 30, 2022.

IBM has ample financial flexibility, supported by our strong liquidity position and cash flows, to operate at a single A credit rating. We issued debt in July 2022 to further improve our liquidity and plan for our 2023 debt maturities. Debt levels have decreased $1.4$0.8 billion from December 31, 2021, primarily driven by currency, partially offset by net debt issuances, and $22.7$22.2 billion from our peak levels at June 30, 2019 (immediately preceding the Red Hat acquisition).

We do not have “ratings trigger” provisions in our debt covenants or documentation, which would allow the holders to declare an event of default and seek to accelerate payments thereunder in the event of a change in credit rating. Our debt covenants are well within the required levels. Our contractual agreements governing derivative instruments contain standard market clauses which can trigger the termination of the agreement if our credit rating were to fall below investment grade. At JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the fair value of those instruments that were in a liability position was $551$1,079 million, before any applicable netting, and this position is subject to fluctuations in fair value period to period based on the level of our outstanding instruments and market conditions. We have no other contractual arrangements that, in the event of a change in credit rating, would result in a material adverse effect on our financial position or liquidity.

Effective December 31, 2021, the use of LIBOR was substantially eliminated for purposes of any new financial contract executions. The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) extended the phase out of LIBOR in the case of U.S. dollar settings for certain tenors until the end of June 2023. Any legacy USD LIBOR based financial contracts are

We prepare our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in accordance with applicable accounting standards for cash flow presentation on page 7 of this Form 10-Q and highlight causes and events underlying sources and uses of cash in that format on pages 8286 and 83.87. For the purpose of running its business, IBM manages, monitors and analyzes cash flows in a different manner.

Management uses free cash flow as a measure to evaluate its operating results, plan shareholder return levels, strategic investments and assess its ability and need to incur and service debt. The entire free cash flow amount is not necessarily available for discretionary expenditures. We define free cash flow as net cash from operating activities less the change in Financing receivables and net capital expenditures, including the investment in software. A key objective of the Financing business is to generate strong returns on equity, and our Financing receivables are the basis for that growth. Accordingly, management considers 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 net cash from operating activities that exclude the effect of Financing receivables.

The following is management’s view of cash flows for the first sixnine months of 2022 and 2021 prepared in a manner consistent with the description above and is presented on a consolidated basis, including cash flows of discontinued operations.

In the first sixnine months of 2022, we generated free cash flow of $3.3$4.1 billion, an increase of $0.8$0.9 billion versus the prior-year period. Payments for the 2020 structural actions and Kyndryl separation-related charges are down year to year and we are driving working capital improvements. In the first sixnine months of 2022, we also continued to return value to shareholders with $3.0$4.5 billion in dividends and invested $1.0 billion in acquisitions.acquisitions, which was more than offset by proceeds from divested businesses.

Events that could temporarily change the historical cash flow dynamics discussed previously and in our 2021 Annual Report include significant changes in operating results, material changes in geographic sources of cash, unexpected adverse impacts from litigation, future pension funding requirements, periods of severe downturn in the capital markets or the timing of tax payments. Whether any litigation has such an adverse impact will depend on a number of variables, which are more completely described in note 14, “Contingencies,” in this Form 10-Q. With respect to pension funding, we expect to make legally mandated pension plan contributions to certain non-U.S. defined benefit plans of approximately $200 million in 2022. Contributions related to all retirement-related plans are expected to be approximately $2.1$2.0 billion in 2022. Financial market performance could increase the legally mandated minimum contributions in certain non-U.S. countries that require more frequent remeasurement of the funded status. We are not

Table of Contents

Management Discussion – (continued)

In 2022, we are not legally required to make any contributions to the U.S. defined benefit pension plans.

Our cash flows are sufficient to fund our current operations and obligations, including investing and financing activities such as dividends and debt service. When additional requirements arise, we have several liquidity options available. These options may include the ability to borrow additional funds at reasonable interest rates and utilizing our committed global credit facilities. With our share repurchase program suspended since the close of the Red Hat acquisition, our overall shareholder payout remains at a comfortable level and we remain fully committed to our long-standing dividend policy.

Financing

Financing is a reportable segment that is measured as a stand-alone entity. Financing facilitates IBM clients’ acquisition of information technology systems, software and services by providing financing solutions in the areas where the company has the expertise, while generating solid returns on equity.

Our Financing business is focused on IBM’s products and services. For the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, financing revenue decreased 29.95.7 percent as reported (27(1 percent adjusted for currency) compared to the prior year, driven by client financing down $61$9 million to $145$172 million. For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, financing revenue decreased 28.021.2 percent as reported (26(18 percent adjusted for currency) compared to the prior year, driven by client financing down $114$123 million to $297$469 million. The decreases in client financing revenue in both periods in 2022 were primarily driven by the strategic actions taken in the prior year including selling certain client lease and loan financing receivables to third parties. While these strategic actions impact revenue and pre-tax income on a year-to-year basis, our repositioning of the Financing business has strengthened our liquidity position, improved the quality of our portfolio, and lowered our debt needs.

Financing pre-tax income decreased 22.440.4 percent to $102$79 million in the secondthird quarter of 2022, compared to the prior year and the pre-tax margin of 69.745.4 percent increased 6.8decreased 26.4 points year to year.

(6)Financing segment debt is primarily composed of intercompany loans.

Total external receivables decreased $894$1,996 million primarily driven by collections of higher year-end balances partially offset by an increase incurrent-year business volumes, in the second quarter of 2022 reflecting the z16 product cycle, with corresponding changes in debt funding.

At JuneSeptember 30, 2022, we continue to apply our rigorous credit policies. Approximately 7172 percent of the total external portfolio was with investment-grade clients with no direct exposure to consumers, an increase of 76 points year to year and an increase of 3 points1 point compared to March 31,June 30, 2022. This investment grade percentage is based on the credit ratings of the companies in the portfolio and reflects certain mitigating actions taken to reduce the risk to IBM.

We have a long-standing practice of taking mitigation actions, in certain circumstances, to transfer credit risk to third parties. These actions may include credit insurance, financial guarantees, nonrecourse borrowings, transfers of receivables recorded as true sales in accordance with accounting guidance or sales of equipment under operating lease. Sale of receivables arrangements are also utilized in the normal course of business as part of our cash and liquidity management.

Throughout 2021, sales of client financing receivables were utilized as part of the company’s cash and liquidity management as well as for credit mitigation. In the first half of 2022, sales of client financing receivables were largely focused on credit mitigation. In addition, theThe company has an existing agreement with a third-party investor to sell IBM

In addition, the company enters into agreements with third-party financial institutions to sell certain of its client financing receivables, including both loan and lease receivables, for cash proceeds. In the first nine months of 2022, sales of client financing receivables were largely focused on credit mitigation.

Recast to reflect 2021 segment changes.

** Calculated based upon an estimated tax rate principally based on Financing’s geographic mix of earnings as IBM’s provision for income taxes is determined on a consolidated basis.

È

Average of the ending equity for Financing for the last two quarters and threefour quarters, for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30 and for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, respectively.

Return on equity was 24.819.7 percent and 21.521.0 percent for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, respectively, compared to 19.621.2 percent and 16.117.7 percent for the same periods in 2021. The increaseschanges in both periods in 2022 were primarily driven by a lower average equity balance, partially offset byand a decrease in net income, which reflects the strategic actions taken in the prior year to reposition the Financing business.

Residual Value

Residual value is a risk unique to the financing business, and management of this risk is dependent upon the ability to accurately project future equipment values at lease inception. Financing has insight into product plans and cycles for IBM products. Based upon this product information, Financing continually monitors projections of future equipment values and compares them with the residual values reflected in the portfolio.

Financing optimizes the recovery of residual values by selling assets sourced from end of lease, leasing used equipment to new clients, or extending lease arrangements with current clients.
