"In 2021, we continued to invest for the future by increasing R&D spending,
expanding our ecosystem and acquiring 15 companies to strengthen our hybrid
cloud and AI capabilities," said James Kavanaugh, IBM senior vice president

the next step in the evolution of our strategy, creating value through focus
and strengthening our financial profile."

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
On a consolidated basis, full-year cash from operating activities was $12.8
billion and free cash flow was $6.5 billion. These consolidated results
include ten months of Kyndryl results, and reflect cash paid in 2021 for
separation charges and fourth-quarter 2020 structural actions.

IBM's post-separation baseline free cash flow for the year was $7.9 billion
excluding Kyndryl charges and pre-separation activity. This view is aligned to
the company's go-forward business. Payments for IBM-related structural actions
and deferred cash taxes paid in 2021 contributed to the year-to-year decline
in the post-separation baseline free cash flow.

IBM ended the year with $7.6 billion of cash on hand (which includes
marketable securities), down $6.7 billion from year-end 2020, reflecting
acquisitions of $3.3 billion and debt reduction payments consistent with the
company's previously-stated intention to deleverage. Debt, including Financing
debt of $13.9 billion, totaled $51.7 billion, down $9.6 billion since the end
of 2020, and down more than $21 billion since closing the Red Hat acquisition.
The company returned $5.9 billion to shareholders in dividends.

Full-Year 2022 Expectations
The company will discuss 2022 expectations during today's quarterly earnings
conference call.

Continuing Operations
With the separation completed on November 3, 2021, Kyndryl's operational
activity has been reclassified to IBM's discontinued operations results in
accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). As
discussed in previous communications, discontinued operations does not include
historical intercompany transactions between IBM and Kyndryl (e.g., purchases
of IBM hardware and software) which were previously eliminated in
consolidation. It also does not include the spending for shared services
(e.g., finance, marketing, human resources, global sales coverage) that has
already been transferred to Kyndryl. IBM results on a continuing operations
basis after separation reflect the new commercial relationship with Kyndryl
and do not include shared services costs, which have been transferred to
Kyndryl.

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);
* presenting operating (non-GAAP) earnings per share amounts and related
income statement items;
* consolidated free cash flow;
* post-separation baseline free cash flow.
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.
