ARMONK, N.Y., January 18, 2011 . . . IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced fourth-quarter 2010 diluted earnings of $4.18 per share, compared with diluted earnings of $3.59 per share in the fourth quarter of 2009, an increase of 16 percent.

 

Fourth-quarter net income was $5.3 billion compared with $4.8 billion in the fourth quarter of 2009, an increase of 9 percent.  Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2010 of $29.0 billion increased 7 percent (7 percent, adjusting for currency) from the fourth quarter of 2009.

 

“We completed an outstanding year, with record profit and free cash flow, and exceeded the high end of our 2010 earnings per share roadmap objective,” said Samuel J. Palmisano, IBM chairman, president and chief executive officer.  “We also capped a decade in which our shift to high-value businesses, our global integration of IBM, our investment in research and development of almost $60 billion and our acquisition of 116 companies have helped us to nearly triple our EPS and return more than $100 billion to shareholders.

 

“As IBM enters its second century, we will continue to focus on our long-term strategic initiatives — growth markets, Smarter Planet Solutions, cloud and business analytics — as we drive to achieve our new roadmap target of operating earnings per share of at least $20 in 2015.”

 



 

Full-Year 2011 Expectations

 

IBM said that it expects to deliver full-year 2011 GAAP earnings per share of at least $12.56; and operating (non-GAAP) earnings per share of at least $13.00, which puts the company on track for the 2015 road map of at least $20 of operating (non-GAAP) earnings per share.  The 2011 operating (non-GAAP) earnings exclude $0.44 per share for the amortization of purchased intangible assets, other acquisition-related charges and certain retirement-related costs that the company has defined as non-operating.

Computation of 2010 Global Financing Return on Equity (a) (b) (a)/(b) Numerator: $1,295 $3,145 41%* Global Financing After Tax Income* Denominator: Average Global Financing Equity** Global Financing Return on Equity FY 2010 * Calculated based upon an estimated tax rate principally based on Global Financing’s geographic mix of earnings as IBM’s provision for income taxes is determined on a consolidated basis. ** Average of ending equity for the Global Financing Segment for the last five quarters. $ in Billions The following are details on the computation of IBM’s Global Financing Return on Equity. The Global Financing segment is in the business of providing financing to IBM’s clients and its business partners, and is measured as if it were a standalone entity. A financing business is managed on a leveraged basis and therefore, we measure the profitability of a financing entity based on its after-tax earnings in relation to the equity employed in the business.

Non-GAAP Supplementary Materials In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding the company's results as determined by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the company also discusses, in its earnings press release and/or earnings presentation materials, the following Non-GAAP information which management believes provides useful information to investors. Operating (Non-GAAP) Earnings Management presents operating (Non-GAAP) earnings, excluding the effects of certain acquisition-related charges, non-operating retirement-related costs, and their related tax impacts. For acquisitions, operating earnings excludes the amortization of purchased intangible assets and acquisition-related charges such as in-process research and development, transaction costs, applicable restructuring and related expenses, and tax charges related to acquisition integration. For retirement-related costs, the company has characterized certain items as operating and others as non-operating. The company includes service cost, amortization of prior service cost and the cost of defined contribution plans in operating earnings. Non-operating retirement-related cost includes interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortized actuarial gains/losses, the impacts of any plan curtailments/settlements, multi-employer plan costs, pension insolvency costs, and other costs. Non-operating costs primarily relate to changes in pension plan assets and liabilities which are tied to market performance, and management considers these costs to be outside the operational performance of the business. Management’s calculation of operating earnings, as presented, may differ from similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Overall, management believes that providing investors with a view of operating earnings as described above provides increased transparency and clarity into both the operational results of the business and the performance of the company’s pension plans, improves visibility to management decisions and their impacts on operational performance, enables better comparison to peer companies, and allows the company to provide a long term strategic view of the business going forward. For the 2015 earnings per share road map, the company will utilize operating earnings to establish its objectives and track its progress.

Non-GAAP Supplementary Materials Constant Currency Management refers to growth rates at constant currency or adjusting for currency so that the business results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of the company's business performance. Constant currency revenue results are calculated by translating current period revenue in local currency using the prior year's currency conversion rate. This consistent approach is based on the pricing currency for each country which is typically the functional currency. Generally, when the dollar either strengthens or weakens against other currencies, the growth at constant currency rates or adjusting for currency will be higher or lower than growth reported at actual exchange rates. Cash Flow Management includes presentations of both cash flow from operations and free cash flow that exclude the effect of Global Financing Receivables. For a financing business, increasing receivables is the basis for growth. Receivables are viewed as an investment and an income-producing asset. Therefore, management presents financing receivables as an investing activity. Management’s view is that this presentation gives the investor the best perspective of cash available for new investment or for distribution to shareholders. Debt-to-Capital Ratio Management presents its debt-to-capital ratio excluding the Global Financing business. A financing business is managed on a leveraged basis. The company funds its Global Financing segment using a debt-to-equity ratio target of approximately 7 to 1. Given this significant leverage, the company presents a debt-to-capital ratio which excludes the Global Financing segment debt and equity because the company believes this is more representative of the company’s core business operations. PLM Sale Management presents certain financial results excluding the effects of the PLM divestiture. In March 2010, the company completed the sale of its activities associated with the sales and support of Dassault Systemes’ (Dassault) product lifecycle management (PLM) software, including customer contracts and related assets to Dassault. Given this sale, management believes that presenting financial information regarding revenue and software segment revenue without this item is more representative of operational performance and provides additional insight into, and clarifies the basis for, historical and/or future performance, which may be more useful for investors.
