downturn in economic environment and client spending budgets; the
company's failure to meet growth and productivity objectives; a
failure of the company's innovation initiatives; damage to the
company's reputation; risks from investing in growth opportunities;
failure of the company's intellectual property portfolio to prevent
competitive offerings and the failure of the company to obtain
necessary licenses; cybersecurity and data privacy considerations;
fluctuations in financial results, impact of local legal, economic,
political and health conditions; adverse effects from environmental
matters, tax matters and the company's pension plans; ineffective

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 --
-- presenting operating (non-GAAP) earnings per share amounts and related
income statement items;
-- adjusting for free cash flow;
-- adjusting for currency (i.e., at constant currency).
Free cash flow guidance is derived using an estimate of profit,
working capital and operational cash outflows. The company views
Global Financing receivables as a profit-generating investment,
which it seeks to maximize and therefore it is not considered when
formulating guidance for free cash flow. As a result, the company
does not estimate a GAAP Net Cash from Operations expectation
metric.
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 http://www.ibm.com/investor/events/earnings/3q18.html.
Presentation charts will be available shortly before the
Webcast.
