Forward-looking statements and non-GAAP information
Certain comments made in this presentation may be characterized as forward
looking under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-
looking statements are based on the company's current assumptions regarding
future business and financial performance. Those statements by their nature
address matters that are uncertain to different degrees. Those statements
involve a number of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially.
Additional information concerning these factors is contained in the Company's
filings with the SEC. Copies are available from the SEC, from the IBM website, or
from IBM Investor Relations. Any forward-looking statement made during this
presentation speaks only as of the date on which it is made. The company
assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements except
as required by law; these charts and the associated remarks and comments are
integrally related and are intended to be presented and understood together.
Unless otherwise specified, results are presented on a continuing operations
basis. All references to revenue impacts from sales to Kyndryl are incremental
sales post-separation.
In an effort to provide additional and useful information regarding the company's
financial results and other financial information as determined by generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the company also discusses, in its
earnings press release and presentation materials, certain non-GAAP information
including operating earnings and other "operating" financial measures,
consolidated free cash flow, net cash from operating activities excluding IBM
Financing receivables, and adjustments for currency. The rationale for
management's use of this non-GAAP information is included as Exhibit 99,2 to
the company's Form 8-K submitted to the SEC on October 19, 2022. The
reconciliation of non-GAAP information to GAAP is included in the press release
within Exhibit 99.1 to the company's Form 8-K submitted to the SEC on October
19, 2022, as well as on the slides entitled "Non-GAAP supplemental materials" in
this presentation.
To provide better transparency, the company also discusses management
performance metrics including hybrid cloud revenue, annual recurring revenue,
signings, and book-to-bill. The metrics are used to monitor the performance of
the business and are viewed as useful decision-making information for
management and stakeholders. The rationale for management's use of these
performance metrics and their calculation are included in the Management
Discussion section of the company's 2021 Annual Report, which is Exhibit 13 to
the Form 10-K submitted with the SEC on February 22, 2022. For other related
