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. FY 2010 $ in Billions Numerator: Global Financing After Tax Income* (a) $1,295 Average Global Financing Equity** (b) $3,145 Global Financing Return on Equity (a)/(b) 41%* Denominator: * 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

Operating (Non-GAAP) External Gross Profit www.ibm.com/investor 55 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 inprocess 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. www.ibm.com/investor 56 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-toperiod 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. www.ibm.com/investor 57 Non-GAAP Supplementary Materials Reconciliation of Free Cash Flows (excluding GF Receivables) $ in Billions 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 Net Cash from Operations $13.7 $13.8 $14.5 $15.3 $14.9 2.0 3.3 1.9 2.5 1.8 11.7 10.5 12.6 12.9 13.1 (4.9) (4.6) (3.9) (3.7) (3.5) 6.8 5.9 8.7 9.1 9.6 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 $15.0 $16.1 $18.8 $20.8 $19.5 (0.3) (1.3) 0.0 1.9 (0.7) 15.3 17.4 18.8 18.9 20.3 (4.7) (5.0) (4.5) (3.7) (4.0) 10.5 12.4 14.3 15.1 16.3 Less: Global Financing Receivables Net Cash from Operations (excluding GF Receivables) Net Capital Expenditures Free Cash Flow (excluding GF Receivables) Net Cash from Operations Less: Global Financing Receivables Net Cash from Operations (excluding GF Receivables) Net Capital Expenditures Free Cash Flow (excluding GF Receivables) The above serves to reconcile the Non-GAAP financial information contained in the “IBM Transformation” discussion in the company’s earnings presentation.
