Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | 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. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the company reported a provision for income taxes of $389 million and a benefit from income taxes of $112 million, respectively, and the effective tax rate was 17.5 percent and (3.4) percent, respectively. The benefit from income taxes in the six months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily driven by the resolution of certain tax audit matters in the first quarter. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the company reported a provision for income taxes of $419 million and $543 million, respectively, and the effective tax rate was 21.0 percent and 17.8 percent, respectively. Noncontrolling interest amounts, included as a reduction within other (income) and expense in the Consolidated Income Statement, were not material to the consolidated results for the periods presented. The company has supplier finance programs with third-party financial institutions where the company agrees to pay the financial institutions the stated amounts of invoices from participating suppliers on the originally invoiced maturity date, which have an average term of 90 to 120 days, consistent with the company's standard payment terms. The financial institutions offer earlier payment of the invoices at the sole discretion of the supplier for a discounted amount. The company does not provide secured legal assets or other forms of guarantees under the arrangements. The company is not a party to the arrangements between its suppliers and the financial institutions. These obligations are recognized as accounts payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The obligations outstanding under these programs at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $116 million and $101 million, respectively. 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 2023 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 change in current-period presentation. This is annotated where applicable. |

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 June 30, 2024, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to RPO related to customer contracts that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied was approximately $56 billion. Approximately 70 percent of the amount is expected to be recognized as revenue in the subsequent two years, approximately 27 percent in the subsequent three Revenue Recognized for Performance Obligations Satisfied (or Partially Satisfied) in Prior Periods For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, revenue recognized for performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied in prior periods was immaterial.

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segments | Segments: In the first quarter of 2024, the company made changes to its organization structure and management system to better align its portfolio with the market, increase transparency and improve segment comparability to peers. These changes did not impact the company's Consolidated Financial Statements, but did impact its reportable segments. Due to the removal of certain components of segment profitability, as described below, the company also updated the title of its segment performance metric from pre-tax income from continuing operations to segment profit. The following table displays the segment updates: Reportable Segment Change Resulting Segment Implications The Weather Company asset divestiture (1) - Software Segment + Other-divested businesses Security Services realignment - Software Segment + Consulting Segment Removal of stock-based compensation and net interest allocations from segment profitability - Software Segment, Consulting Segment, Infrastructure Segment, Financing Segment (2) + Other (1) The Weather Company asset divestiture closed January 31, 2024. (2) Presentation of interest for the Financing Segment did not change. 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 have been recast for the prior-year periods to reflect the company's segment changes described above. 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.

Business Combination, Asset Acquisition, and Joint Venture Formation [Abstract] | |
Acquisitions & Divestitures | Acquisitions & Divestitures: Acquisitions Purchase price consideration for all acquisitions was paid primarily in cash. All acquisitions, unless otherwise stated, were for 100 percent of the acquired business and are reported in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, net of acquired cash and cash equivalents. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the company completed two acquisitions within the Software segment and two acquisitions within the Consulting segment at an aggregate cost of $278 million. These acquisitions are expected to enhance the company’s portfolio of products and services capabilities and further advance IBM’s hybrid cloud and AI strategy. These acquisitions did not have a material impact in the company's Consolidated Financial Statements. At June 30, 2024, the remaining cash to be remitted by the company related to the first-half 2024 acquisitions was not material. The following table reflects the purchase price related to these acquisitions and the resulting purchase price allocation as of June 30, 2024. (Dollars in millions) Amortization All Current assets $ 35 Property, plant and equipment/noncurrent assets 3 Intangible assets: Goodwill N/A 207 Client relationships 1-7 36 Completed technology 7 37 Trademarks 3 1 Total assets acquired $ 319 Current liabilities 24 Noncurrent liabilities 16 Total liabilities assumed $ 41 Total purchase price $ 278 N/A – not applicable 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. Transactions Closed in Third-Quarter 2024 — At the time of issuance of the financial statements, the initial purchase price accounting for each of the closed acquisitions below was not complete. On July 1, 2024, the company completed the acquisition of StreamSets and webMethods from Software AG for approximately $2.3 billion (€2.13 billion) in cash. StreamSets will add new data ingestion capabilities to IBM's data platform and webMethods will bring integration platform-as-a-service (iPaaS) capabilities to IBM's automation solutions. The acquisition will be integrated into the Software segment. Prior to the acquisition, the company entered into foreign currency derivative contracts which expired by June 28, 2024. Refer to note 16, “Derivative Financial Instruments,” for financial impacts and additional information. At June 30, 2024, $2.3 billion was held in escrow and classified as restricted cash in the Consolidated Balance Sheet in connection with the acquisition. The cash was remitted to Software AG on July 1, 2024. On July 1, 2024, the company completed an acquisition within the Consulting segment which is not expected to have a material impact on the company's Consolidated Financial Statements. Transactions Announced — On April 24, 2024, the company announced its intent to acquire all of the outstanding shares of HashiCorp, Inc. (HashiCorp). IBM’s and HashiCorp’s combined portfolios will help clients manage growing application and infrastructure complexity and create a comprehensive end-to-end hybrid cloud platform designed for the AI era. Under the terms of the definitive agreement, HashiCorp's shareholders on record immediately prior to the effective time on the closing date will receive $35 per share in cash, representing a total enterprise value of approximately $6.4 billion. On July 15, 2024, HashiCorp stockholders voted to approve the merger with IBM. The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2024, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. Upon closing, HashiCorp will be integrated into the Software segment. Divestitures The Weather Company Assets — On January 31, 2024, the company completed the sale of The Weather Company assets to Zephyr Buyer, L.P., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Francisco Partners (collectively, Francisco). Under the agreement, Francisco acquired The Weather Company assets from IBM for $1,100 million inclusive of $250 million of contingent consideration, of which $200 million is contingent on Francisco’s attainment of certain investment return metrics. The assets include The Weather Company's digital consumer-facing offerings, The Weather Channel mobile and cloud-based digital properties including Weather.com, Weather Underground and Storm Radar, as well as its enterprise offerings for broadcast, media, aviation, advertising technology and data solutions for other emerging industries. Upon closing, the company received cash proceeds of $750 million and provided seller financing to Francisco in the form of a $100 million loan with a term of 7 years. The cash proceeds from the sale were included in cash from investing activities within the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The seller financing is a non-cash investing activity. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the company recognized a pre-tax gain on sale of $239 million in other (income) and expense in the Consolidated Income Statement. As discussed in note 4, “Segments,” in the first quarter of 2024, The Weather Company assets previously reported in the Software segment were moved and recast to the Sale of Assets Transaction Signed — In May 2024, IBM and Palo Alto Networks (Palo Alto) entered into a definitive agreement whereby Palo Alto will acquire from IBM certain QRadar SaaS (software-as-a-service) assets including QRadar intellectual property, customer relationships and customer contracts for approximately $500 million in cash. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2024, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. The company expects to recognize a pre-tax gain on the sale of assets, of which the final amount is not yet determinable. Upon closing, IBM and Palo Alto will facilitate the migration of QRadar SaaS and IBM's QRadar on-premise (on-prem) clients to Palo Alto’s Cortex XSIAM, their security operations (SOC) platform. As part of the agreement, IBM will receive incremental future cash payments from Palo Alto for QRadar on-prem clients that choose to migrate to the Cortex XSIAM platform. Also, in connection with the sale of the QRadar SaaS assets, IBM and Palo Alto will enter into various commercial agreements pursuant to which IBM will purchase certain Palo Alto products and services and IBM will license and/or provide certain software, including SaaS, and consulting services to Palo Alto. IBM will also provide Palo Alto with transition services including support, operations and other services for QRadar SaaS customer contracts. The commercial agreements entered into during the second quarter of 2024 did not have a material impact on IBM's Consolidated Financial Statements. |

Financial Assets & Liabilities | 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 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that can be accessed at the measurement date; • Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and • Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. 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 protect principal by investing in very liquid investment securities with highly rated counterparties. The company’s standard practice is to hold all of its debt security investments classified as available-for-sale until maturity. No impairments for credit losses and no material non-credit impairments were recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Certain non-financial assets such as property, plant and equipment (PP&E), operating right-of-use assets, 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 six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The following table presents the company’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Fair Value At June 30, 2024 At December 31, 2023 (Dollars in millions) Assets (6) Liabilities (7) Assets (6) Liabilities (7) Cash equivalents: (1) Time deposits and certificates of deposit (2) 2 $ 5,307 N/A $ 7,206 N/A Money market funds 1 471 N/A 494 N/A Total cash equivalents $ 5,778 N/A $ 7,699 N/A Equity investments 1 — N/A 25 N/A Debt securities-current (2)(3) 2 1,481 N/A 373 N/A Debt securities-noncurrent (2)(4) 2,3 108 N/A 8 N/A Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Interest rate contracts 2 — 419 2 299 Foreign exchange contracts 2 402 161 131 275 Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Foreign exchange contracts (5) 2 8 33 115 19 Equity contracts 2 22 10 93 — Total $ 7,799 $ 624 $ 8,446 $ 593 (1) Included within cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. (2) Available-for-sale debt securities with carrying values that approximate fair value. (3) Term deposits and U.S. treasury bills that are reported within marketable securities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The June 30, 2024 balance includes proceeds from the first-quarter 2024 debt issuance. Refer to note 12, “Borrowings,” for additional information. (4) June 30, 2024 amount includes a $100 million seller financing loan in connection with the divestiture of The Weather Company assets reported within investments and sundry assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Refer to note 5, "Acquisitions & Divestitures," for additional information. (5) December 31, 2023 asset amount includes $62 million in foreign exchange call option contracts in connection with the acquisition of StreamSets and webMethods from Software AG. There were no associated derivatives outstanding at June 30, 2024. Refer to note 16, "Derivative Financial Instruments," for additional information. (6) The gross balances of derivative assets contained within prepaid expenses and other current assets, and investments and sundry assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2024 were $424 million and $8 million, respectively, and at December 31, 2023 were $304 million and $37 million, respectively. (7) The gross balances of derivative liabilities contained within other accrued expenses and liabilities, and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2024 were $173 million and $450 million, respectively, and at December 31, 2023 were $294 million and $299 million, respectively. N/A – not applicable Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value Short-Term Receivables and Payables Short-term receivables (excluding the current portion of long-term receivables) 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) 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. 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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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 $52,929 million and $50,121 million, and the estimated fair value was $49,844 million and $48,284 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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. |

Receivables [Abstract] | |
Financing Receivables | Financing Receivables: Financing receivables primarily consist of client loan and installment payment receivables (loans), 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 IBM hardware, software and services. Payment terms on these financing arrangements are for terms generally up to seven years. Investment in sales-type and direct financing leases relate principally to the company’s Infrastructure products and are for terms generally up to five years. Commercial financing receivables, which consist of both held-for-investment and held-for-sale receivables, relate primarily to working capital financing for business partners and distributors of IBM products and services. Payment terms for working capital financing generally range from 30 to 60 days. A summary of the components of the company’s financing receivables is presented as follows: Client Financing Receivables Client Loan and Installment Payment Receivables Investment in Sales-Type and Direct Financing Commercial Financing Receivables (Dollars in millions) Held for Held for At June 30, 2024 (Loans) Leases Investment Sale (1) Total Financing receivables, gross $ 6,577 $ 3,938 $ 618 $ 723 $ 11,856 Unearned income (500) (401) — — (901) Unguaranteed residual value — 464 — — 464 Amortized cost $ 6,077 $ 4,000 $ 618 $ 723 $ 11,419 Allowance for credit losses (75) (57) (5) — (137) Total financing receivables, net $ 6,002 $ 3,944 $ 613 $ 723 $ 11,282 Current portion $ 2,956 $ 1,507 $ 613 $ 723 $ 5,799 Noncurrent portion $ 3,046 $ 2,437 $ — $ — $ 5,483 Client Financing Receivables Client Loan and Installment Payment Receivables Investment in Sales-Type and Direct Financing Commercial Financing Receivables (Dollars in millions) Held for Held for At December 31, 2023 (Loans) Leases Investment Sale (1) Total Financing receivables, gross $ 7,060 $ 4,261 $ 1,160 $ 692 $ 13,173 Unearned income (486) (429) — — (915) Unguaranteed residual value — 458 — — 458 Amortized cost $ 6,574 $ 4,290 $ 1,160 $ 692 $ 12,716 Allowance for credit losses (87) (63) (6) — (156) Total financing receivables, net $ 6,486 $ 4,227 $ 1,155 $ 692 $ 12,560 Current portion $ 3,427 $ 1,520 $ 1,155 $ 692 $ 6,793 Noncurrent portion $ 3,059 $ 2,707 $ — $ — $ 5,766 (1) The carrying value of the receivables classified as held for sale approximates fair value. The company has 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 secured 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 the company’s cash and liquidity management. Financing receivables pledged as collateral for secured borrowings were $330 million and $232 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. These borrowings are included in note 12, “Borrowings.” Transfer of Financial Assets The company has an existing agreement with a third-party investor to sell IBM short-term commercial financing receivables on a revolving basis. This agreement previously allowed for sales up to $3.0 billion. In December 2023, the company amended and renewed its agreement for a one-year term, which reduced the limit to $1.3 billion in January 2024. 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. There were no material client financing receivables transferred for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The following table presents the total amount of commercial financing receivables transferred. (Dollars in millions) For the six months ended June 30: 2024 2023 Commercial financing receivables: Receivables transferred during the period $ 3,686 $ 4,345 Receivables uncollected at end of period (1) $ 786 $ 928 (1) Of the total amount of commercial financing receivables sold and derecognized from the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the amounts presented remained uncollected from business partners as of June 30, 2024 and 2023. The transfer of these receivables qualified as true sales and therefore reduced financing receivables. The cash proceeds from the sales are included in cash flows from operating activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the net loss, including fees, associated with the transfer of commercial financial receivables was $33 million and $45 million, respectively, and is included in other (income) and expense in the Consolidated Income Statement. Financing Receivables by Portfolio Segment The following tables present the amortized cost basis for client financing receivables at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, further segmented by three classes: Americas, Europe/Middle East/Africa (EMEA) and Asia Pacific. The commercial financing receivables portfolio segment is excluded from the tables in the sections below as the receivables are short term in nature and the current estimated risk of loss and resulting impact to the company’s financial results are not material. (Dollars in millions) At June 30, 2024: Americas EMEA Asia Pacific Total Amortized cost $ 6,075 $ 2,672 $ 1,330 $ 10,077 Allowance for credit losses: Beginning balance at January 1, 2024 $ 92 $ 48 $ 11 $ 150 Write-offs $ 0 $ (1) $ 0 $ (1) Recoveries 0 0 0 1 Additions/(releases) (8) (3) 0 (11) Other (1) (5) (2) 0 (7) Ending balance at June 30, 2024 $ 78 $ 43 $ 10 $ 131 (1) Primarily represents translation adjustments.

When determining the allowances, financing receivables are evaluated either on an individual or a collective basis. For the company’s policy on determining allowances for credit losses, refer to note A, “Significant Accounting Policies,” in the company’s 2023 Annual Report. Past Due Financing Receivables The company summarizes information about the amortized cost basis for client financing receivables, including amortized cost aged over 90 days and still accruing, billed invoices aged over 90 days and still accruing, and amortized cost not accruing. (Dollars in millions) Total Amortized Cost > 90 Days (1) Amortized Cost > 90 Days and Accruing (1) Billed Amortized Cost Not Accruing (2) At June 30, 2024: Americas $ 6,075 $ 83 $ 17 $ 2 $ 67 EMEA 2,672 33 4 3 29 Asia Pacific 1,330 8 0 0 7 Total client financing receivables $ 10,077 $ 123 $ 21 $ 5 $ 103 (Dollars in millions) Total Amortized Cost > 90 Days (1) Amortized Cost > 90 Days and Accruing (1) Billed Amortized Cost Not Accruing (2) At December 31, 2023: Americas $ 6,488 $ 111 $ 40 $ 6 $ 71 EMEA 3,007 31 1 1 31 Asia Pacific 1,368 9 1 0 8 Total client financing receivables $ 10,863 $ 151 $ 43 $ 7 $ 110 (1) At a contract level, which includes total billed and unbilled amounts for financing receivables aged greater than 90 days. (2) Of the amortized cost not accruing, there was a related allowance of $99 million and $106 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Financing income recognized on these receivables was immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, 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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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. Gross write-offs by vintage year at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were not material.

At June 30, 2024 (Dollars in millions) Gross Carrying Accumulated Net Carrying Amount (1) Intangible asset class: Capitalized software $ 1,528 $ (661) $ 867 Client relationships 8,976 (3,911) 5,065 Completed technology 5,719 (2,834) 2,885 Patents/trademarks 1,803 (483) 1,320 Other (2) 149 (35) 114 Total $ 18,175 $ (7,924) $ 10,251 At December 31, 2023 (Dollars in millions) Gross Carrying Accumulated Net Carrying Amount (1) Intangible asset class: Capitalized software $ 1,636 $ (762) $ 874 Client relationships 9,053 (3,500) 5,553 Completed technology 5,713 (2,510) 3,203 Patents/trademarks 1,821 (436) 1,385 Other (2) 41 (20) 22 Total $ 18,265 $ (7,229) $ 11,036 (1) Amounts as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 include a decrease in net intangible asset balances of $76 million and an increase of $50 million, respectively, due to foreign currency translation. (2) Other intangibles are primarily acquired proprietary and non-proprietary technology licenses, data, business processes, methodologies and systems. The net carrying amount of intangible assets decreased $786 million during the first six months of 2024, primarily due to intangible asset amortization, partially offset by additions of capitalized software and acquired intangibles. The aggregate intangible asset amortization expense was $607 million and $1,205 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to $556 million and $1,104 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the company retired $405 million of fully amortized intangible assets, impacting both the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization by this amount. The future amortization expense relating to intangible assets currently recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet was estimated to be the following at June 30, 2024: (Dollars in millions) Capitalized Acquired Total Remainder of 2024 $ 305 $ 881 $ 1,186 2025 351 1,724 2,075 2026 180 1,700 1,880 2027 30 1,681 1,710 2028 — 1,379 1,379 Thereafter — 2,020 2,020 Goodwill The changes in the goodwill balances by segment for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023 were as follows: (Dollars in millions) Balance Goodwill Purchase Foreign Currency Translation and Other Adjustments (1) Balance Segment 1/1/2024 Divestitures 6/30/2024 Software $ 46,447 $ 91 $ (9) $ — $ (408) $ 46,120 Consulting 8,883 108 0 — (70) 8,920 Infrastructure 4,384 8 (1) — (16) 4,376 Other (2) 464 — — (464) — — Total $ 60,178 $ 207 $ (11) $ (464) $ (494) $ 59,416 (Dollars in millions) Balance Goodwill Purchase Foreign Currency Translation and Other Adjustments (1) Balance Segment 1/1/2023 Divestitures 12/31/2023 Software (3) $ 42,712 $ 3,538 $ (17) $ — $ 214 $ 46,447 Consulting (3) 8,409 403 2 — 69 8,883 Infrastructure 4,363 12 — — 8 4,384 Other (3) 464 — — — — 464 Total $ 55,949 $ 3,953 $ (15) $ — $ 291 $ 60,178 (1) Primarily driven by foreign currency translation.

Long-Term Debt Pre-Swap Borrowing Balance Balance (Dollars in millions) Maturities 6/30/2024 12/31/2023 U.S. dollar debt (weighted-average interest rate at June 30, 2024): (1) 3.4% 2024 $ 1 $ 5,003 5.1% 2025 1,604 1,601 3.7% 2026 5,800 5,201 3.3% 2027 4,119 3,619 5.0% 2028 1,313 1,313 3.6% 2029 3,750 3,250 2.0% 2030 1,350 1,350 4.8% 2031 500 — 4.4% 2032 1,850 1,850 4.8% 2033 750 750 4.9% 2034 1,000 — 8.0% 2038 83 83 4.5% 2039 2,745 2,745 2.9% 2040 650 650 4.0% 2042 1,107 1,107 5.3% 2044 1,000 — 7.0% 2045 27 27 4.7% 2046 650 650 4.3% 2049 3,000 3,000 3.0% 2050 750 750 4.2% 2052 1,400 1,400 5.1% 2053 650 650 5.3% 2054 1,400 — 7.1% 2096 316 316 $ 35,817 $ 35,317 Euro debt (weighted-average interest rate at June 30, 2024): (1) 1.1% 2024 $ 803 $ 829 1.6% 2025 3,213 3,315 2.3% 2027 2,142 2,210 0.7% 2028 1,928 1,989 1.5% 2029 1,071 1,105 0.9% 2030 1,071 1,105 2.7% 2031 2,678 2,762 0.7% 2032 1,714 1,768 1.3% 2034 1,071 1,105 3.8% 2035 1,071 1,105 1.2% 2040 910 939 4.0% 2043 1,071 1,105 $ 18,745 $ 19,335 Other currencies (weighted-average interest rate at June 30, 2024 in parentheses): (1) Pound sterling (4.9%) 2038 $ 948 $ 955 Japanese yen (0.5%) 2024–2028 1,097 1,251 Other (12.9%) 2024–2027 327 241 $ 56,934 $ 57,099 Finance lease obligations (5.0%) 2024–2034 823 499 $ 57,757 $ 57,598 Less: net unamortized discount 844 838 Less: net unamortized debt issuance costs 179 154 Add: fair value adjustment (2) (204) (60) $ 56,531 $ 56,546 Less: current maturities 3,601 6,425 Total $ 52,929 $ 50,121 (1) Includes notes, debentures, bank loans and secured borrowings. (2) The portion of the company’s fixed-rate debt obligations that is hedged is reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as an amount equal to the sum of the debt’s carrying value and a fair value adjustment representing changes in the fair value of the hedged debt obligations attributable to movements in benchmark interest rates. The company’s indenture governing its debt securities and its various credit facilities each contain significant covenants which obligate the company to promptly pay principal and interest, limit the aggregate amount of secured indebtedness and sale and leaseback transactions to 10 percent of the company’s consolidated net tangible assets, and restrict the company’s ability to merge or consolidate unless certain conditions are met. The credit facilities also include 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. On February 5, 2024, IBM International Capital Pte. Ltd (IIC), a wholly owned finance subsidiary of the company, issued $5.5 billion of U.S. dollar fixed rate notes (IIC Notes) in tranches with maturities ranging from 2 to 30 years and coupons ranging from 4.6 to 5.3 percent. These notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the company. IIC is a 100 percent owned finance subsidiary of IBM, as described by the SEC in Rule 13-01(a)(4)(vi) of Regulation S-X, the primary purpose of which is to borrow money to be made available for the benefit of IBM and its affiliates. The IIC Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by IBM, and no other subsidiary of IBM guarantees the IIC Notes. Pre-swap annual contractual obligations of long-term debt outstanding at June 30, 2024, were as follows: (Dollars in millions) Total Remainder of 2024 $ 1,291 2025 5,142 2026 6,272 2027 6,397 2028 3,887 Thereafter 34,767 Total $ 57,757 Interest on Debt (Dollars in millions) For the six months ended June 30: 2024 2023 Cost of financing $ 167 $ 173 Interest expense 859 790 Interest capitalized 6 6 Total interest paid and accrued $ 1,032 $ 969 Lines of Credit On June 17, 2024, the company amended its $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, 2027 and June 22, 2029, respectively . The Credit Agreements permit the company and its subsidiary borrowers to borrow up to $10 billion on a revolving basis. At June 30, 2024, there were no borrowings by the company, or its subsidiaries, under these credit facilities. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments | Commitments: The company’s extended lines of credit to third-party entities include unused amounts of $1.4 billion at both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. A portion of these amounts was available to the company’s business partners to support their working capital needs. In addition, the company has committed to provide future financing to its clients in connection with client purchase agreements for $1.9 billion at both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The company collectively evaluates the allowance for these arrangements using a provision methodology consistent with the portfolio of the commitments. Refer to note A, “Significant Accounting Policies,” in the company’s 2023 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 June 30, 2024. 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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 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. Standard Warranty Liability (Dollars in millions) 2024 2023 Balance at January 1 $ 65 $ 79 Current-period accruals 38 35 Accrual adjustments to reflect actual experience 7 (14) Charges incurred (41) (43) Balance at June 30 $ 70 $ 57 Extended Warranty Liability (Dollars in millions) 2024 2023 Balance at January 1 $ 184 $ 272 Revenue deferred for new extended warranty contracts 18 20 Amortization of deferred revenue (62) (73) Other (1) (4) (1) Balance at June 30 $ 135 $ 218 Current portion $ 82 $ 119 Noncurrent portion $ 52 $ 99 (1) Other primarily consists of foreign currency translation adjustments. The decrease in extended warranty liability is primarily due to the company’s shift to alternative maintenance and support offerings without a warranty element. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Contingencies | 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, AI, 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, cybersecurity, data privacy, 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 June 30, 2024 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 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 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. 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 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. On April 4, 2024, the court dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice. On May 6, 2024, the plaintiffs appealed. 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. On April 30, 2024, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit reversed and rendered the district court’s judgment in IBM’s favor. 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 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 |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Financial Instruments | 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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the amount recognized in other accounts receivables for the right to reclaim cash collateral was $56 million and $11 million, respectively. At June 30, 2024, there was no amount recognized in accounts payable for the obligation to return cash collateral. At December 31, 2023, the amount recognized in accounts payable for such obligation was $7 million. The company restricts the use of cash collateral received to rehypothecation, and therefore reports it in restricted cash in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. There was no cash collateral rehypothecated at June 30, 2024. At December 31, 2023, the amount rehypothecated was $7 million. Additionally, if derivative exposures covered by a qualifying master netting agreement had been netted in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the total derivative asset and liability positions each would have been reduced by $186 million and $235 million, respectively. As discussed in note 5, “Acquisitions & Divestitures,” the company completed the acquisition of StreamSets and webMethods from Software AG on July 1, 2024. In December 2023, in connection with the announcement of the acquisition, the company entered into foreign exchange call option contracts (the call options) with a total notional amount of $2.3 billion (€2.13 billion) and a total premium paid of $49 million. The call options were accounted for as non-hedge derivatives and expired on June 18, 2024 with no economic value. The company replaced the majority of the options with foreign currency forward contracts with notional values of $1.8 billion to cover the economic exposure from June 18, 2024 to June 28, 2024. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the company recorded a realized loss of $18 million and $68 million, respectively, in other (income) and expense in the Consolidated Income Statement. At December 31, 2023, the fair value of the call options was $62 million, and was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. There were no associated derivatives outstanding at June 30, 2024. 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. 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 both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the total notional amount of the company’s interest-rate swaps was $6.7 billion. The weighted-average remaining maturity of these instruments at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was approximately 5.0 years and 5.5 years, respectively. These interest-rate contracts were accounted for as fair value hedges. The company did not have any cash flow hedges relating to this program outstanding at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. 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 no instruments outstanding at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. In connection with cash flow hedges of forecasted interest payments related to the company's borrowings, the company recorded net losses (before taxes) of $113 million and $121 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, in AOCI. The company estimates that $14 million of the deferred net losses (before taxes) on derivatives in AOCI at June 30, 2024 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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying value of debt designated as hedging instruments was $13.5 billion and $15.9 billion, respectively. The company also uses foreign currency derivatives for this risk management purpose. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the total notional amount of derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges was $6.0 billion and $4.9 billion, respectively. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the weighted-average remaining maturity of these instruments was approximately 0.2 years and 0.1 years, respectively. 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 June 30, 2024, the maximum remaining length of time over which the company hedged its exposure is approximately two years. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the total notional amount of forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted royalty and cost transactions was $9.6 billion and $9.2 billion, respectively. At both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the weighted-average remaining maturity of these instruments was approximately 0.6 years. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, in connection with cash flow hedges of anticipated royalties and cost transactions, the company recorded net gains (before taxes) of $312 million and $40 million, respectively, in AOCI. The company estimates that $251 million of deferred net gains (before taxes) on derivatives in AOCI at June 30, 2024 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 may employ forward contracts or cross-currency swaps to convert the principal, or principal and interest payments of foreign currency denominated debt to debt denominated in the functional currency of the borrowing entity. These derivatives are accounted for as cash flow hedges. At June 30, 2024, the maximum length of time remaining over which the company hedged its exposure was approximately seven years. At both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the total notional amount of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges of foreign-currency denominated debt was $5.2 billion. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, in connection with previously terminated cross-currency swaps, the company recorded net losses (before taxes) of $56 million and $68 million, respectively, in AOCI, of which $18 million of deferred net losses (before taxes) is estimated to be reclassified to net income within the next 12 months. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, in connection with forward contracts, the company has recorded net gains (before taxes) of $38 million and $23 million, respectively, in AOCI. Approximately $52 million of losses (before taxes) related to the initial forward points excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness is expected to be amortized to other (income) and expense within the next 12 months. 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 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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the total notional amount of derivative instruments in economic hedges of foreign currency exposure was $7.1 billion and $6.7 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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the total notional amount of derivative instruments in economic hedges of these compensation obligations was $1.4 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively. Cumulative Basis Adjustments for Fair Value Hedges At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the following amounts were recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet related to cumulative basis adjustments for fair value hedges: (Dollars in millions) June 30, December 31, Short-term debt: Carrying amount of the hedged item $ — $ (1) Cumulative hedging adjustments included in the carrying amount — assets/(liabilities) $ — $ (1) Long-term debt: Carrying amount of the hedged item $ (6,481) $ (6,629) Cumulative hedging adjustments included in the carrying amount — assets/(liabilities) (1) $ 204 $ 61 (1) Includes ($177) million and ($200) million of hedging adjustments on discontinued hedging relationships at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Effect of Derivative Instruments in the Consolidated Income Statement The total amounts of income and expense line items presented in the Consolidated Income Statement in which the effects of fair value hedges, cash flow hedges, net investment hedges and derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recorded and the total effect of hedge activity on these income and expense line items are as follows: (Dollars in millions) Total Gains/(Losses) of For the three months ended June 30: 2024 2023 2024 2023 Cost of services $ 5,126 $ 5,294 $ 9 $ (3) Cost of sales $ 1,607 $ 1,587 $ 15 $ 2 Cost of financing $ 86 $ 93 $ (4) $ (3) SG&A expense $ 4,938 $ 4,900 $ 11 $ 43 Other (income) and expense $ (233) $ (261) $ (140) $ (141) Interest expense $ 427 $ 423 $ (19) $ (18) Gain (Loss) Recognized in Consolidated Income Statement (Dollars in millions) Consolidated Recognized on Attributable to Risk Being Hedged (2) For the three months ended June 30: 2024 2023 2024 2023 Derivative instruments in fair value hedges: (1) Interest rate contracts Cost of financing $ (8) $ (30) $ 2 $ 25 Interest expense (42) (153) 10 130 Derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments: Foreign exchange contracts Other (income) and expense (161) (196) N/A N/A Equity contracts SG&A expense 4 42 N/A N/A Total $ (207) $ (337) $ 12 $ 155 Gain (Loss) Recognized in Consolidated Income Statement and Other Comprehensive Income Recognized in OCI Consolidated Reclassified Amounts Excluded from Effectiveness Testing (3) (Dollars in millions) For the three months ended June 30: 2024 2023 2024 2023 2024 2023 Derivative instruments in cash flow hedges: Interest rate contracts $ — $ — Cost of financing $ (1) $ (1) $ — $ — Interest expense (3) (4) — — Foreign exchange contracts Cost of services 9 (3) — — Amount included in the assessment of effectiveness 134 178 Cost of sales 15 2 — — Amount excluded from the assessment of effectiveness (31) — Cost of financing (1) (3) — — SG&A expense 7 1 — — Other (income) and expense 39 55 (18) — Interest expense (5) (18) — — Instruments in net investment hedges: (4) Foreign exchange contracts 269 136 Cost of financing — — 4 5 Interest expense — — 21 27 Total $ 372 $ 313 $ 61 $ 30 $ 6 $ 32 (1) The amount includes changes in clean fair values of the derivative instruments in fair value hedging relationships and the periodic accrual for coupon payments required under these derivative contracts.

Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation: Stock-based compensation cost for stock awards and stock options is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized over the employee requisite service period. The following table presents total stock-based compensation cost included in income from continuing operations. Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, (Dollars in millions) 2024 2023 2024 2023 Cost $ 53 $ 47 $ 109 $ 93 Selling, general and administrative 172 168 343 317 Research, development and engineering 90 73 183 146 Pre-tax stock-based compensation cost $ 316 $ 288 $ 636 $ 556 Income tax benefits (101) (75) (222) (142) Total net stock-based compensation cost $ 214 $ 213 $ 414 $ 414 Pre-tax stock-based compensation cost for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased $28 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior year due to increases in restricted stock units ($14 million), performance share units ($6 million), stock options ($5 million) and Employees Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) ($3 million). The increases are primarily driven by stock-based compensation awards granted by the company as part of its annual cycles for executives and other employees. Pre-tax stock-based compensation cost for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased $79 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior year due to increases in restricted stock units ($42 million), performance share units ($21 million), stock options ($13 million) and ESPP ($4 million).

Retirement Benefits [Abstract] | |
Retirement-Related Benefits | Retirement-Related Benefits: The company offers defined benefit (DB) pension plans, defined contribution plans, as well as nonpension postretirement plans primarily consisting of retiree medical benefits. IBM U.S. Retirement Plan Changes Effective January 1, 2024, IBM changed how it provides certain retirement-related benefits in the U.S. IBM is providing a new benefit to most U.S. employees under its existing U.S. Qualified Personal Pension Plan (Qualified PPP) called the Retirement Benefit Account (RBA). This is in place of any IBM contributions to the U.S. employees' 401(k) Plus accounts. IBM U.S. regular full-time and part-time employees with at least one year of service will participate in the RBA. Each eligible employee's RBA is credited monthly with an amount equal to five percent of their eligible pay with no employee contribution required. Under the RBA, eligible employees earn six percent interest through 2026 and starting in 2027, will earn interest equal to the 10-year U.S. Treasury Yield, subject to a three percent minimum per year through 2033. Eligible employees also received a salary increase effective January 1, 2024 for the difference between the IBM 401(k) Plus contribution percent they were previously entitled to receive and the five percent RBA pay credit. Since the RBA is a component of the Qualified PPP, it is funded by the trust for the Qualified PPP along with all other benefits in the Qualified PPP. As a result of this change, inactive pension plan participants no longer represent substantially all of the participants in the Qualified PPP. As required by U.S. GAAP, this changed the amortization period of unrecognized actuarial losses from the average remaining life expectancy of inactive plan participants to the average remaining service period of active plan participants in 2024. Recognized actuarial losses for the U.S. Plans increased by approximately $100 million and $200 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the prior-year periods, primarily driven by the change in amortization period. There was no impact to funded status, retiree benefit payments or funding requirements of the Qualified PPP due to the change in amortization period. The following tables provide the pre-tax cost for all retirement-related plans. Yr. to Yr. (Dollars in millions) Percent For the three months ended June 30: 2024 2023 Change Retirement-related plans — cost: Defined benefit pension and defined contribution plans — cost $ 320 $ 259 23.6 % Nonpension postretirement plans — cost 30 33 (8.1) Total $ 350 $ 292 20.0 % Yr. to Yr.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract] | |
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. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the company reported a provision for income taxes of $389 million and a benefit from income taxes of $112 million, respectively, and the effective tax rate was 17.5 percent and (3.4) percent, respectively. The benefit from income taxes in the six months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily driven by the resolution of certain tax audit matters in the first quarter. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the company reported a provision for income taxes of $419 million and $543 million, respectively, and the effective tax rate was 21.0 percent and 17.8 percent, respectively. Noncontrolling interest amounts, included as a reduction within other (income) and expense in the Consolidated Income Statement, were not material to the consolidated results for the periods presented. The company has supplier finance programs with third-party financial institutions where the company agrees to pay the financial institutions the stated amounts of invoices from participating suppliers on the originally invoiced maturity date, which have an average term of 90 to 120 days, consistent with the company's standard payment terms. The financial institutions offer earlier payment of the invoices at the sole discretion of the supplier for a discounted amount. The company does not provide secured legal assets or other forms of guarantees under the arrangements. The company is not a party to the arrangements between its suppliers and the financial institutions. These obligations are recognized as accounts payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The obligations outstanding under these programs at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $116 million and $101 million, respectively. 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 2023 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 change in current-period presentation. This is annotated where applicable. |
New Standards to be Implemented and Standards Implemented | New Standards to be Implemented Income Tax Disclosures Standard/Description –Issuance date: December 2023.

Segments | In the first quarter of 2024, the company made changes to its organization structure and management system to better align its portfolio with the market, increase transparency and improve segment comparability to peers. These changes did not impact the company's Consolidated Financial Statements, but did impact its reportable segments. Due to the removal of certain components of segment profitability, as described below, the company also updated the title of its segment performance metric from pre-tax income from continuing operations to segment profit. The following table displays the segment updates: Reportable Segment Change Resulting Segment Implications The Weather Company asset divestiture (1) - Software Segment + Other-divested businesses Security Services realignment - Software Segment + Consulting Segment Removal of stock-based compensation and net interest allocations from segment profitability - Software Segment, Consulting Segment, Infrastructure Segment, Financing Segment (2) + Other (1) The Weather Company asset divestiture closed January 31, 2024. (2) Presentation of interest for the Financing Segment did not change. 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 have been recast for the prior-year periods to reflect the company's segment changes described above. 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. |
Fair Value Measurements | 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 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that can be accessed at the measurement date; • Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and • Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. 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 protect principal by investing in very liquid investment securities with highly rated counterparties. The company’s standard practice is to hold all of its debt security investments classified as available-for-sale until maturity. No impairments for credit losses and no material non-credit impairments were recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Certain non-financial assets such as property, plant and equipment (PP&E), operating right-of-use assets, 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 six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. |
Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value | Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value Short-Term Receivables and Payables Short-term receivables (excluding the current portion of long-term receivables) 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) 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. 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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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 $52,929 million and $50,121 million, and the estimated fair value was $49,844 million and $48,284 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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. |
Financing Receivables | Financing receivables primarily consist of client loan and installment payment receivables (loans), 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 IBM hardware, software and services. Payment terms on these financing arrangements are for terms generally up to seven years. Investment in sales-type and direct financing leases relate principally to the company’s Infrastructure products and are for terms generally up to five years. Commercial financing receivables, which consist of both held-for-investment and held-for-sale receivables, relate primarily to working capital financing for business partners and distributors of IBM products and services. Payment terms for working capital financing generally range from 30 to 60 days. When determining the allowances, financing receivables are evaluated either on an individual or a collective basis. For the company’s policy on determining allowances for credit losses, refer to note A, “Significant Accounting Policies,” in the company’s 2023 Annual Report. |
Commitments | The company collectively evaluates the allowance for these arrangements using a provision methodology consistent with the portfolio of the commitments. Refer to note A, “Significant Accounting Policies,” in the company’s 2023 Annual Report for additional information.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. |
Contingencies | 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 June 30, 2024 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 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. |
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. |
Offsetting Derivatives | 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.The company restricts the use of cash collateral received to rehypothecation, and therefore reports it in restricted cash in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. |
Derivatives, Methods of Accounting, Hedge Effectiveness | The company’s policy is to recognize all fair value changes in amounts excluded from effectiveness testing for net investment hedges in net income each period. For cash flow hedges of foreign currency denominated debt, the amounts excluded from effectiveness testing are amortized to net income over the life of the hedging instrument. |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-based compensation cost for stock awards and stock options is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized over the employee requisite service period. |
