"We continued our focus on the strength of our balance sheet in the third quarter," said James Kavanaugh, IBM senior vice president and chief financial officer. "We generated $12.3 billion in free cash flow over the last 12 months and with our disciplined financial management we reduced debt by nearly $7 billion in the quarter, while maintaining a strong cash balance."

 

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

 

In the third quarter, the company generated net cash from operating activities of $3.6 billion, or $2.5 billion excluding Global Financing receivables. IBM's free cash flow was $1.8 billion. IBM returned $1.6 billion to shareholders through $1.4 billion in dividends and $0.1 billion in gross share repurchases. The company suspended its share repurchase program on July 9.

 

IBM ended the third quarter with $11.0 billion of cash on hand. Debt, including Global Financing debt of $23.1 billion, totaled $66.3 billion - down $6.7 billion since the end of the second quarter.

Full-Year 2019 Expectations

 

On August 2, 2019, the company updated full-year expectations to reflect the impact of the Red Hat acquisition and related activities. IBM expects GAAP diluted earnings per share for the full year to be at least $10.58. The company continues to expect operating (non-GAAP) diluted earnings per share of at least $12.80. Operating (non-GAAP) diluted earnings per share exclude $2.22 per share of charges for: amortization of purchased intangible assets and other acquisition-related charges, including pre-closing charges, such as financing costs, associated with the Red Hat acquisition; retirement-related charges; and tax reform enactment impacts.

 

IBM continues to expect free cash flow of approximately $12 billion, with a realization rate over 100 percent of GAAP Net Income.

 

Year-To-Date 2019 Results

 

Year-to-date results reflect the impact of items related to the Red Hat acquisition closed in July 2019. Consolidated diluted earnings per share was $6.45 compared to $7.37, down 12 percent year to year. Consolidated net income was $5.8 billion, down 15 percent year to year. Revenues for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 totaled $55.4 billion, a decrease of 4 percent year to year (down 0.7 percent adjusting for divested businesses and currency) compared with $57.8 billion for the first nine months of 2018.

 

Operating (non-GAAP) diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was $8.10 compared with $8.96 per diluted share for the 2018 period, a decrease of 10 percent. Operating (non-GAAP) net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $7.2 billion compared with $8.2 billion in the prior-year period, a decrease of 12 percent.

 

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements

 

Except for the historical information and discussions contained herein, statements contained in this release may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of 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. These statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, including, but not limited to, the following: a 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 internal controls; the company's use of accounting estimates; the company's ability to attract and retain key employees and its reliance on critical skills; impacts of relationships with critical suppliers; product quality issues; impacts of business with government clients; currency fluctuations and customer financing risks; impact of changes in market liquidity conditions and customer credit risk on receivables; reliance on third party distribution channels and ecosystems; the company's ability to successfully manage acquisitions, alliances and dispositions, including integration challenges, failure to achieve objectives, the assumption of liabilities, and higher debt levels; legal proceedings and investigatory risks; risk factors related to IBM securities; and other risks, uncertainties and factors discussed in the company's Form 10-Qs, Form 10-K and in the company's other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or in materials incorporated therein by reference. Any forward-looking statement in this release speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Except as required by law, the company assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.

 

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; 
 
    -- revenue for Red Hat 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. 
 

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.

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/3q19.html. Presentation charts will be available shortly before the Webcast.

(2) Red Hat revenue was included in IBM's consolidated results beginning 
on July 9, 2019. Revenue for July 1 - July 8, 2019 and the three 
months ended September 30, 2018 represents pre-acquisition Red Hat 
standalone revenue and is included for comparative purposes. 
(3) Represents the third-quarter 2019 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.
