IBM Reports 2016 Third-Quarter Earnings

18 Oct 2016 07:00

IBM (NYSE:IBM) today announced third-quarter 2016 earnings results.

"IBM's third-quarter performance, led by continued double-digit growth in our strategic imperatives, is a testament to our leadership in cognitive solutions and cloud," said Ginni Rometty, IBM chairman, president and chief executive officer. "Our ability to apply deep expertise and breakthrough technology, led by Watson and the IBM Cloud, to massive amounts of data is enabling us to build new markets and transform industries. Whether it is banks implementing IBM blockchain solutions, hospitals leveraging Watson to fight cancer, or retailers using cognitive apps built on the IBM Cloud to transform the customer experience, clients across all industries are tapping into a new kind of innovation value from IBM."

"Throughout the year, we have continued to invest where we see the greatest opportunities to create new markets and strengthen our enterprise IT leadership position," said Martin Schroeter, IBM senior vice president and chief financial officer. "This has included more than $12 billion across capital expenditures, R&D and acquisitions so far this year. At the same time, we have returned more than $6 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases."

Strategic Imperatives

Third-quarter revenues from the company’s strategic imperatives --- cloud, analytics, mobility and security --- increased 16 percent year to year (up 15 percent adjusting for currency). Cloud revenues (public, private and hybrid) for the quarter increased 44 percent (up 42 percent adjusting for currency). Cloud revenue over the trailing 12 months was $12.7 billion. The annual run rate for cloud as-a-Service revenue --- a subset of total cloud revenue --- increased to $7.5 billion from $4.5 billion in the third quarter of 2015. Revenues from analytics increased 15 percent (up 14 percent adjusting for currency). Revenues from mobile increased 19 percent and revenues from security increased 11 percent.

Full-Year 2016 Expectations

The company continues to expect operating (non-GAAP) diluted earnings per share of at least $13.50 and GAAP diluted earnings per share of at least $12.23. Operating (non-GAAP) diluted earnings per share exclude $1.27 per share of charges for amortization of purchased intangible assets, other acquisition-related charges and retirement-related charges. There is no change to IBM's previously-provided free cash flow guidance.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

The company generated net cash from operating activities of $4.2 billion; or $3.3 billion excluding Global Financing receivables. IBM’s free cash flow was $2.4 billion in the third quarter. IBM returned $1.3 billion in dividends and $0.9 billion of gross share repurchases to shareholders. At the end of September 2016, IBM had $3.0 billion remaining in the current share repurchase authorization.

IBM ended the third-quarter 2016 with $10.0 billion of cash on hand. Debt, including Global Financing debt of $26.1 billion, totaled $42.5 billion. Core (non-Global Financing) debt totaled $16.4 billion. The balance sheet remains strong and is well positioned to support the business over the long term.

Segment Results

Cognitive Solutions (includes solutions software and transaction processing software) -- revenues of $4.2 billion, up 4.5 percent. Cloud revenue within the segment grew 74 percent (up 75 percent adjusting for currency), and Solutions Software grew 8 percent. Global Business Services (includes consulting, global process services, application management) -- revenues of $4.2 billion, down 0.4 percent (down 1.6 percent adjusting for currency). Strategic imperatives revenue within the segment was up 13 percent (up 12 percent adjusting for currency). Technology Services & Cloud Platforms (includes infrastructure services, technical support services, integration software) -- revenues of $8.7 billion, up 2.4 percent (up 1.4 percent adjusting for currency). Growth of 45 percent (up 42 percent adjusting for currency) in strategic imperatives revenue within the segment was driven by strong hybrid cloud services performance. Systems (includes systems hardware and operating systems software) -- revenues of $1.6 billion, down 21.0 percent (down 21.5 percent adjusting for currency). Revenue reflects z Systems product cycle dynamics. Global Financing (includes financing and used equipment sales) -- revenues of $412 million, down 7.9 percent (down 9.2 percent adjusting for currency).

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 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; 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 personnel 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; risks from legal proceedings; 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.

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/3q16.html. Presentation charts will be available shortly before the Webcast.
