IBM REPORTS 2020 THIRD-QUARTER RESULTS

Strong Cloud Revenue Growth; Gross Margin Expansion; Solid Balance Sheet and Liquidity Position

ARMONK, N.Y., October 19, 2020 . . . IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced third-quarter 2020 earnings results.

The strong performance of our cloud business, led by Red Hat, underscores the growing client adoption of our open hybrid cloud platform," said Arvind Krishna, IBM chief executive officer. "Separating the managed infrastructure services business creates a market-leading standalone company and further sharpens our focus on IBM's open hybrid cloud platform and AI capabilities. This will accelerate our growth strategy and better position IBM to seize the $1 trillion hybrid cloud opportunity.

Highlights for the third quarter include:

GAAP EPS from continuing operations of $1.89
Operating (non-GAAP) EPS of $2.58
Revenue of $17.6 billion, down 2.6 percent (down 3.1 percent adjusting for divested businesses and currency)

-- Cloud & Cognitive Software revenue up 7 percent (up 6 percent adjusting for currency)

Total cloud revenue of $6.0 billion, up 19 percent

-- Total cloud revenue of $24.4 billion over the last 12 months, up 22 percent (up 25 percent adjusting for divested businesses and currency)

Red Hat revenue up 17 percent (up 16 percent adjusting for currency), normalized for historical comparability
GAAP gross profit margin of 48 percent, up 180 basis points; Operating (non-GAAP) gross profit margin of 49 percent, up 160 basis points
Net cash from operating activities of $15.8 billion and free cash flow of $10.8 billion, over the last 12 months

In the third quarter we continued to deliver strong gross profit margin expansion, generated solid free cash flow and maintained a sound capital structure with ample liquidity," said James Kavanaugh, IBM senior vice president and chief financial officer. "We have the necessary financial flexibility to increase our investments in hybrid cloud and AI technology innovation and skills, while remaining committed to our long-standing dividend policy.


Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

In the third quarter, the company generated net cash from operating activities of $4.3 billion, or $1.9 billion excluding Global Financing receivables. IBM’s free cash flow was $1.1 billion. The company returned $1.5 billion to shareholders in dividends.

IBM ended the third quarter with $15.8 billion of cash on hand which includes marketable securities, up $6.7 billion from year-end 2019. Debt, including Global Financing debt of $20.9 billion, totaled $65.4 billion.

Presentation of Information in this Press Release

In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding the company’s results as determined by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the company has also disclosed in this press release the following non-GAAP information, which management believes provides useful information to investors:

IBM results —

adjusting for currency (i.e., at constant currency);
total revenue and cloud revenue adjusting for divested businesses and currency;
Red Hat revenue normalized for historical comparability;
presenting operating (non-GAAP) earnings per share amounts and related income statement items;
adjusting for free cash flow;
net cash from operating activities, excluding Global Financing receivables.

The rationale for management’s use of these non-GAAP measures is included in Exhibit 99.2 in the Form 8-K that includes this press release and is being submitted today to the SEC.


Conference Call and Webcast

IBM’s regular quarterly earnings conference call is scheduled to begin at 5:00 p.m. EDT, today. The Webcast may be accessed via a link at https://www.ibm.com/investor/events/earnings-3q20. Presentation charts will be available shortly before the Webcast.

(1) Represents change in GAAP revenue as reported by IBM, which is included in the Cloud & Cognitive Software segment.

(2) Red Hat revenue was included in IBM’s consolidated results beginning July 9, 2019. Revenue for July 1 – July 8, 2019 represents pre-acquisition Red Hat standalone revenue and is included for computing year over year change purposes.

(3) Represents change in the third-quarter 2020 impact of the deferred revenue purchase accounting adjustment and adjustments to add back revenue which was eliminated for sales between Red Hat and IBM. This line represents revenue that would have been recognized by Red Hat under GAAP if the acquisition had not occurred, but was not recognized by IBM due to purchase accounting and intercompany adjustments.
