Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes of the International Business Machines Corporation (IBM or the company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The financial statements and footnotes are unaudited. In the opinion of the company’s management, these statements include all adjustments, which are only of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present a fair statement of the company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs, expenses and other comprehensive income/(loss) that are reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying disclosures. These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events, historical experience, actions that the company may undertake in the future and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. As a result, actual results may be different from these estimates.
In the first quarter of 2025, the company made changes to the reported revenue categories within its Software and Consulting reportable segments. These changes did not impact the company's Consolidated Financial Statements or its reportable segments. The revenue categories are reported on a comparable basis for all periods. Refer to note 3, “Revenue Recognition,” for additional information.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the company reported a benefit from income taxes of $112 million. The benefit from income taxes was primarily driven by the resolution of certain tax audit matters in the first quarter of 2024.
On July 4, 2025, H.R. 1, a bill to provide for reconciliation, was signed into law in the United States as Public Law 119-21 (the Act). The Act incorporates various business tax provisions, including the permanent extension of key measures from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The effects of changes in tax legislation must be recognized in the period of enactment. The company is currently assessing the tax effects of the Act and expects to record a one-time, non-cash charge in the Consolidated Income Statement for the period ending September 30, 2025, primarily for the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI), now renamed to Net Controlled Foreign Corporation Tested Income (NCTI).
Noncontrolling interest amounts, included as a reduction within other (income) and expense in the Consolidated Income Statement, were not material to the consolidated results for the periods presented.
The company has supplier finance programs with third-party financial institutions where the company agrees to pay the financial institutions the stated amounts of invoices from participating suppliers on the originally invoiced maturity date, which have an average term of 90 to 120 days, consistent with the company's standard payment terms. The financial institutions offer earlier payment of the invoices at the sole discretion of the supplier for a discounted amount. The company does not provide secured legal assets or other forms of guarantees under the arrangements. The company is not a party to the arrangements between its suppliers and the financial institutions. These obligations are recognized as accounts payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The obligations outstanding under these programs were immaterial at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Interim results are not necessarily indicative of financial results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the company’s 2024 Annual Report.
Within the financial statements and tables presented, certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers for disclosure purposes. Percentages presented are calculated from the underlying whole-dollar amounts. Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the change in current-period presentation. This is annotated where applicable.

2. Accounting Changes:
New Standards to be Implemented
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
Standard/Description–Issuance date: November 2024. This guidance requires a new tabular disclosure of certain types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization) that are included within commonly presented expense captions on the income statement. The guidance also requires the disclosure of a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. Additionally, the guidance requires the disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and an entity’s definition of selling expenses. The disclosures are required on an interim and annual basis.
Effective Date and Adoption Considerations–The guidance is effective for the company for annual reporting periods beginning in 2027, and for interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2028. Early adoption is permitted. The company expects to adopt the guidance as of the effective date and to apply the guidance on a prospective basis.
Effect on Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters– The company continues to evaluate the need for any changes to systems, processes, data or controls to meet the additional disclosure requirements. As the guidance is a change to disclosures only, it will impact the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements but will not impact the consolidated financial results.
Income Tax Disclosures
Standard/Description–Issuance date: December 2023. This guidance requires disaggregated disclosure of the tax rate reconciliation into eight categories, with further disaggregation required for items greater than a specific threshold. Additionally, the guidance requires the disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state and foreign jurisdictions.
Effective Date and Adoption Considerations–The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning in 2025 and early adoption is permitted. The company will adopt the guidance as of the effective date.
Effect on Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters–As the guidance is a change to disclosures only, it will impact the “Taxes” note within the company's annual financial statements but will not impact the consolidated financial results.
Standards Implemented
Segment Reporting Disclosures
Standard/Description–Issuance date: November 2023. This guidance requires the disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to a company's chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. The company must also disclose “other segment items,” which is the difference between segment revenue less significant expenses for each reported measure of segment profit or loss, and a description of its composition. This guidance also requires certain segment annual disclosures to be provided on an interim basis.
Effective Date and Adoption Considerations–The guidance was effective for annual periods beginning in 2024, and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025, and is required to be applied on a retrospective basis to all prior periods presented. Early adoption was permitted. The company adopted the guidance as of the effective date.
Effect on Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters–The guidance is a change to disclosures only, that impacted the “Segments” note within the company's quarterly and annual financial statements but did not have an impact on the consolidated financial results.

3. Revenue Recognition:
Disaggregation of Revenue
In the first quarter of 2025, the company made changes to the reported revenue categories within its Software and Consulting reportable segments to better reflect the market opportunities and how IBM addresses them. Beginning January 1, 2025, the company reports revenue for Hybrid Cloud (Red Hat), Automation, Data and Transaction Processing within Software; and it no longer reports revenue for Hybrid Platform & Solutions. Within Consulting, the company reports revenue for Strategy and Technology and Intelligent Operations. These changes did not impact the company's Consolidated Financial Statements or its reportable segments.
The following tables provide details of revenue by major products/service offerings and revenue by geography.

Remaining Performance Obligations
The remaining performance obligation (RPO) disclosure provides the aggregate amount of the transaction price yet to be recognized as of the end of the reporting period and an explanation as to when the company expects to recognize these amounts in revenue. It is intended to be a statement of overall work under contract that has not yet been performed and does not include contracts in which the customer is not committed, such as certain as-a-service, governmental, term software license and services offerings. The customer is not considered committed when they are able to terminate for

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (continued)
convenience without payment of a substantive penalty. The disclosure includes estimates of variable consideration, except when the variable consideration is a sales-based or usage-based royalty promised in exchange for a license of intellectual property. Additionally, as a practical expedient, the company does not include contracts that have an original duration of one year or less. RPO estimates are subject to change and are affected by several factors, including terminations, changes in the scope of contracts, periodic revalidations, adjustment for revenue that has not materialized and adjustments for currency.
At June 30, 2025, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to RPO related to customer contracts that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied was approximately $66 billion. Approximately 69 percent of the amount is expected to be recognized as revenue in the subsequent two years, approximately 27 percent in the subsequent three to five years and the balance thereafter.
Revenue Recognized for Performance Obligations Satisfied (or Partially Satisfied) in Prior Periods
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, revenue recognized for performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied in prior periods was immaterial.
Reconciliation of Contract Balances
The following table provides information about notes and accounts receivable — trade, contract assets and deferred income balances.

(Dollars in millions) |  | At June 30, 2025 |  | At December 31, 2024

4. Segments:
The following tables reflect the results of continuing operations of the company’s segments consistent with the management and measurement system utilized within the company. Performance measurement is based on segment profit. The chief operating decision maker (CODM) considers budget-to-actual results of segment profit, both when evaluating the performance of and allocating resources to each of the segments as well as in developing certain compensation recommendations. The CODM reviews segment revenue, cost and profit information related to each segment, which is included in the tables below, but does not regularly review total assets by segment and therefore, such information is not presented.

5. Acquisitions & Divestitures:
Acquisitions
Purchase price consideration for all acquisitions was paid primarily in cash. All acquisitions, unless otherwise stated, were for 100 percent of the acquired business and are reported in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, net of acquired cash and cash equivalents.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the company completed four acquisitions within the Software segment and two acquisitions within the Consulting segment at an aggregate total purchase price of $8,887 million. These acquisitions are expected to enhance the company’s portfolio of products and services capabilities and further advance IBM’s hybrid cloud and AI strategy.
At June 30, 2025, the remaining cash to be remitted by the company related to certain first-half 2025 acquisitions was $152 million, of which $63 million was classified as restricted cash in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The remaining cash amount is primarily expected to be paid in 2026 and will be presented as financing activity in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows at settlement.
The following table reflects the purchase price related to these acquisitions and the resulting purchase price allocations as of June 30, 2025.

8. Financial Assets & Liabilities:
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The company classifies certain assets and liabilities based on the following fair value hierarchy:
•Level 1–Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that can be accessed at the measurement date;
•Level 2–Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
•Level 3–Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
22

Table of Contents
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (continued)
When available, the company uses unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets to measure the fair value and classifies such items as Level 1. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that use current market-based or independently sourced market parameters such as interest rates and currency rates. Items valued using internally generated models are classified according to the lowest level input or value driver that is significant to the valuation.
The determination of fair value considers various factors including interest rate yield curves and time value underlying the financial instruments. For derivatives and debt securities, the company uses a discounted cash flow analysis using discount rates commensurate with the duration of the instrument.
In determining the fair value of financial instruments, the company considers certain market valuation adjustments to the “base valuations” calculated using the methodologies described below for several parameters that market participants would consider in determining fair value:
•Counterparty credit risk adjustments are applied to financial instruments, taking into account the actual credit risk of a counterparty as observed in the credit default swap market to determine the true fair value of such an instrument.
•Credit risk adjustments are applied to reflect the company’s own credit risk when valuing all liabilities measured at fair value. The methodology is consistent with that applied in developing counterparty credit risk adjustments, but incorporates the company’s own credit risk as observed in the credit default swap market.
The company holds investments primarily in time deposits, certificates of deposit, and U.S. government debt that are designated as available-for-sale. The primary objective of the company’s cash and debt investment portfolio is to protect principal by investing in very liquid investment securities with highly rated counterparties.
Available-for-sale securities are measured for impairment on a recurring basis by comparing the security’s fair value with its amortized cost basis. If the fair value of the security falls below its amortized cost basis, the change in fair value is recognized in the period the impairment is identified when the loss is due to credit factors. The change in fair value due to non-credit factors is recorded in other comprehensive income when the company does not intend to sell and has the ability to hold the investment. The company’s standard practice is to hold all of its debt security investments classified as available-for-sale until maturity. No impairments for credit losses and no material non-credit impairments were recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Certain non-financial assets such as property, plant and equipment, operating right-of-use assets, goodwill and intangible assets are also subject to nonrecurring fair value measurements if they are deemed to be impaired. The impairment models used for non-financial assets depend on the type of asset. There were no material impairments of non-financial assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

(5)The gross balances of derivative assets contained within prepaid expenses and other current assets, and investments and sundry assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2025 were $329 million and $338 million, respectively, and at December 31, 2024 were $575 million and $96 million, respectively.
(6)The gross balances of derivative liabilities contained within other accrued expenses and liabilities, and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2025 were $559 million and $262 million, respectively, and at December 31, 2024 were $262 million and $463 million, respectively.
N/A – not applicable
Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value
Short-Term Receivables and Payables
Short-term receivables (excluding the current portion of long-term receivables) and other investments are financial assets with carrying values that approximate fair value. Accounts payable, other accrued expenses and short-term debt (excluding the current portion of long-term debt) are financial liabilities with carrying values that approximate fair value. If measured at fair value in the financial statements, these financial instruments would be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, except for short-term debt which would be classified as Level 2.
Loans and Long-Term Receivables
Fair values are based on discounted future cash flows using current interest rates offered for similar loans to clients with similar credit ratings for the same remaining maturities. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the difference between the carrying amount and estimated fair value for loans and long-term receivables was immaterial. If measured at fair value in the financial statements, these financial instruments would be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
24

Table of Contents
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (continued)
Long-Term Debt
Fair value of publicly traded long-term debt is based on quoted market prices for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market. For other long-term debt (including long-term finance lease liabilities) for which a quoted market price is not available, an expected present value technique that uses rates currently available to the company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities is used to estimate fair value. The carrying amount of long-term debt was $55,219 million and $49,884 million, and the estimated fair value was $52,968 million and $47,389 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. If measured at fair value in the financial statements, long-term debt (including the current portion) would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
9. Financing Receivables:
Financing receivables primarily consist of client loan and installment payment receivables (loans), investment in sales-type and direct financing leases (collectively referred to as client financing receivables) and commercial financing receivables. Loans are provided primarily to clients to finance the purchase of IBM hardware, software and services. Payment terms on these financing arrangements are for terms generally up to seven years. Investment in sales-type and direct financing leases relate principally to the company’s Infrastructure products and are for terms generally up to five years. Commercial financing receivables, which consist of both held-for-investment and held-for-sale receivables, relate primarily to working capital financing for business partners and distributors of IBM products and services. Payment terms for working capital financing generally range from 30 to 60 days.
A summary of the components of the company’s financing receivables is presented as follows:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (continued)
The company has a long-standing practice of taking mitigation actions, in certain circumstances, to transfer credit risk to third parties. These actions may include credit insurance, financial guarantees, nonrecourse secured borrowings, true sales, or sales of equipment under operating lease. Sale of receivables arrangements are also utilized in the normal course of business as part of the company’s cash and liquidity management.
Financing receivables pledged as collateral for secured borrowings were $166 million and $213 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. These borrowings are included in note 12, “Borrowings.”
Transfer of Financial Assets
Effective January 1, 2025, the company extended its existing agreement for a 26-month term with a third-party investor to sell up to $1.3 billion of IBM short-term commercial financing receivables on a revolving basis. In addition, the company enters into agreements with third-party financial institutions to sell certain of its client financing receivables, including both loan and lease receivables, for cash proceeds. There were no material client financing receivables transferred for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
The following table presents the total amount of commercial financing receivables transferred.

Receivables uncollected at end of period (1) |  | $ | 686 |  |  | $ | 786 |

(1)Of the total amount of commercial financing receivables sold and derecognized from the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the amounts presented remained uncollected from business partners as of June 30, 2025 and 2024.
The transfer of these receivables qualified as true sales and therefore reduced financing receivables. The cash proceeds from the sales are included in cash flows from operating activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the net loss, including fees, associated with the transfer of commercial financing receivables was $25 million and $33 million, respectively, and is included in other (income) and expense in the Consolidated Income Statement. For the company’s policy on determining treatment for transfer of financial assets, refer to note A, “Significant Accounting Policies,” in the company’s 2024 Annual Report.

Credit Quality Indicators
The company’s credit quality indicators, which are based on rating agency data, publicly available information and information provided by customers, are reviewed periodically based on the relative level of risk. The resulting indicators are a numerical rating system that maps to Moody’s Investors Service credit ratings as shown below. The company uses information provided by Moody’s, where available, as one of many inputs in its determination of customer credit ratings. The credit quality of the customer is evaluated based on these indicators and is assigned the same risk rating whether the receivable is a lease or a loan.

(1)Amounts at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 include an increase in the net intangible asset balance of $190 million and a decrease in the net intangible asset balance of $126 million, respectively, due to foreign currency translation.
(2)Other intangibles are primarily acquired proprietary and non-proprietary technology licenses, data, business processes, methodologies and systems.
The net carrying amount of intangible assets increased $1,593 million during the first six months of 2025, primarily due to additions of acquired intangibles from business combinations of $2,329 million, primarily driven by the acquisition of HashiCorp in the first quarter of 2025 and additions of capitalized software, partially offset by intangible asset amortization. The aggregate intangible asset amortization expense was $687 million and $1,328 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and $607 million and $1,205 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the company retired $392 million of fully amortized intangible assets, impacting both the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization by this amount.
The future amortization expense relating to intangible assets currently recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet was estimated to be the following at June 30, 2025:

The company’s indenture governing its debt securities and its various credit facilities each contain significant covenants which obligate the company to promptly pay principal and interest, limit the aggregate amount of secured indebtedness and sale and leaseback transactions to 10 percent of the company’s consolidated net tangible assets, and restrict the company’s ability to merge or consolidate unless certain conditions are met. The credit facilities also include a covenant on the company’s consolidated net interest expense ratio, which cannot be less than 2.20 to 1.0, as well as a cross default provision with respect to other defaulted indebtedness of at least $500 million.
The company is in compliance with its debt covenants and provides periodic certifications to its lenders. The failure to comply with its debt covenants could constitute an event of default with respect to the debt to which such provisions apply. If certain events of default were to occur, the principal and interest on the debt to which such event of default applied would become immediately due and payable.
In the first quarter of 2024, IBM International Capital Pte. Ltd (IIC), a wholly owned finance subsidiary of the company, issued $5.5 billion of U.S. dollar fixed-rate notes (IIC Notes) in tranches with maturities ranging from 2 to 30 years and coupons ranging from 4.6 to 5.3 percent. IIC is a 100 percent owned finance subsidiary of IBM, as described by the SEC in Rule 13-01(a)(4)(vi) of Regulation S-X, the primary purpose of which is to borrow money to be made available for the benefit of IBM and its affiliates. The IIC Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by IBM, and no other subsidiary of IBM guarantees the IIC Notes.
On February 10, 2025, the company issued $3.6 billion of Euro fixed-rate notes in tranches with maturities ranging from 5 to 20 years and coupons ranging from 2.9 to 3.8 percent; and $4.75 billion of U.S. dollar fixed-rate notes in tranches with maturities ranging from 3 to 30 years and coupons ranging from 4.65 to 5.7 percent.

Lines of Credit
On June, 20, 2025, the company amended its $2.5 billion Three-Year Credit Agreement and $7.5 billion Five-Year Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreements) to extend the maturity dates to June 20, 2028 and June 22, 2030, respectively. The Credit Agreements permit the company and its subsidiary borrowers to borrow up to $10 billion on a revolving basis. At June 30, 2025, there were no borrowings by the company, or its subsidiaries, under these credit facilities.

13. Commitments:
The company’s extended lines of credit to third-party entities include unused amounts of $2.0 billion and $1.6 billion at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. In addition, the company has committed to provide future financing to its clients in connection with client purchase agreements for $2.1 billion and $2.2 billion at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The company collectively evaluates the allowance for these arrangements using a provision methodology consistent with the portfolio of the commitments. Refer to note A, “Significant Accounting Policies,” in the company’s 2024 Annual Report for additional information. The allowance for these commitments recorded in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was not material.
The company has applied the guidance requiring a guarantor to disclose certain types of guarantees, even if the likelihood of requiring the guarantor’s performance is remote. The following is a description of arrangements in which the company is the guarantor.
The company is a party to a variety of agreements pursuant to which it may be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters. Typically, these obligations arise in the context of contracts entered into by the company, under which the company customarily agrees to hold the party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations and covenants related to such matters as title to the assets sold, certain intellectual property rights, specified environmental matters, third-party performance of nonfinancial contractual obligations and certain income taxes. In each of these circumstances, payment by the company is conditioned on the other party making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract, the procedures of which typically allow the company to challenge the other party’s claims. While indemnification provisions typically do not include a contractual maximum on the company’s payment, the company’s obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of time and/or nature of claim, and in some instances, the company may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by the company.
It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these or similar agreements due to the conditional nature of the company’s obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by the company under these agreements have not had a material effect on the company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.
In addition, the company guarantees certain loans and financial commitments. The maximum potential future payment under these financial guarantees and the fair value of these guarantees recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were not material.
Changes in the company’s warranty liability for standard warranties, which are included in other accrued expenses and liabilities and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, are presented in the following table. The company's extended warranty liability, which is included in deferred income in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, was not material for the periods presented.

14. Contingencies:
As a company with a substantial employee population and with clients in more than 175 countries, IBM is involved, either as plaintiff or defendant, in a variety of ongoing claims, demands, suits, investigations, tax matters and proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business. The company is a leader in the information technology industry and, as such, has been and will continue to be subject to claims challenging its IP rights and associated products and offerings, including claims of copyright and patent infringement and violations of trade secrets and other IP rights. In addition, the company enforces its own IP against infringement, through license negotiations, lawsuits or otherwise. Further, given the rapidly evolving external landscape of cybersecurity, AI, privacy and data protection laws, regulations and threat actors, the company and its clients have been and will continue to be subject to actions or proceedings in various jurisdictions. Also, as is typical for companies of IBM’s scope and scale, the company is party to actions and proceedings in various jurisdictions involving a wide range of labor and employment issues (including matters related to contested employment decisions, country-specific labor and employment laws, and the company’s pension, retirement and other benefit plans), as well as actions with respect to contracts, product liability, cybersecurity, data privacy, securities, foreign operations, competition law and environmental matters. These actions may be commenced by a number of different parties, including competitors, clients, current or former employees, government and regulatory agencies, stockholders and representatives of the locations in which the company does business. Some of the actions to which the company is party may involve particularly complex technical issues, and some actions may raise novel questions under the laws of the various jurisdictions in which these matters arise.
The company records a provision with respect to a claim, suit, investigation or proceeding when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Any recorded liabilities, including any changes to such liabilities for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 were not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In accordance with the relevant accounting guidance, the company provides disclosures of matters for which the likelihood of material loss is at least reasonably possible. In addition, the company also discloses matters based on its consideration of other matters and qualitative factors, including the experience of other companies in the industry, and investor, customer and employee relations considerations.
With respect to certain of the claims, suits, investigations and proceedings discussed herein, the company believes at this time that the likelihood of any material loss is remote, given, for example, the procedural status, court rulings, and/or the strength of the company’s defenses in those matters. With respect to the remaining claims, suits, investigations and proceedings discussed in this note, except as specifically discussed herein, the company is unable to provide estimates of reasonably possible losses or range of losses, including losses in excess of amounts accrued, if any, for the following reasons. Claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain, and it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of these matters. It is the company’s experience that damage amounts claimed in litigation against it are unreliable and unrelated to possible outcomes, and as such are not meaningful indicators of the company’s potential liability. Further, the company is unable to provide such an estimate due to a number of other factors with respect to these claims, suits, investigations and proceedings, including considerations of the procedural status of the matter in question, the presence of complex or novel legal theories, and/or the ongoing discovery and development of information important to the matters.
The company reviews claims, suits, investigations and proceedings at least quarterly, and decisions are made with respect to recording or adjusting provisions and disclosing reasonably possible losses or range of losses (individually or in the aggregate), to reflect the impact and status of settlement discussions, discovery, procedural and substantive rulings, reviews by counsel and other information pertinent to a particular matter.
Whether any losses, damages or remedies finally determined in any claim, suit, investigation or proceeding could reasonably have a material effect on the company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows will depend on a number of variables, including: the timing and amount of such losses or damages; the structure and type of any such remedies; the significance of the impact any such losses, damages or remedies may have in the Consolidated Financial Statements; and the unique facts and circumstances of the particular matter that may give rise to additional factors. While the company will continue to defend itself vigorously, it is possible that the company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be affected in any particular period by the resolution of one or more of these matters.

The following is a summary of the more significant legal matters involving the company.
On June 2, 2022, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging that the IBM Pension Plan miscalculated certain joint and survivor annuity pension benefits by using outdated actuarial tables in violation of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. IBM, the Plan Administrator Committee, and the IBM Pension Plan are named as defendants. On April 4, 2024, the court dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice. On April 3, 2025, the Second Circuit vacated and remanded the district court’s decision to allow for discovery on statute of limitations.
The company is party to, or otherwise involved in, proceedings brought by U.S. federal or state environmental agencies under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), known as “Superfund,” or laws similar to CERCLA. Such statutes require potentially responsible parties to participate in remediation activities regardless of fault or ownership of sites. The company is also conducting environmental investigations, assessments or remediations at or in the vicinity of several current or former operating sites globally pursuant to permits, administrative orders or agreements with country, state or local environmental agencies, and is involved in lawsuits and claims concerning certain current or former operating sites.
The company is also subject to ongoing tax examinations and governmental assessments in various jurisdictions. Along with many other U.S. companies doing business in Brazil, the company is involved in various challenges with Brazilian tax authorities regarding non-income tax assessments and non-income tax litigation matters. The total potential amount related to all these matters for all applicable years is approximately $350 million. The company believes it will prevail on these matters and that this amount is not a meaningful indicator of liability.

16. Derivative Financial Instruments:
The company operates in multiple functional currencies and is a significant lender and borrower in the global markets. In the normal course of business, the company is exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and foreign currency fluctuations, and to a lesser extent equity risk. The company limits these risks by following established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of derivatives, and, where cost effective, financing with debt in the currencies in which assets are denominated. For interest rate exposures, derivatives are used to better align rate movements between the interest rates associated with the company’s lease and other financial assets and the interest rates associated with its debt. Derivatives are also used to manage the related cost of debt. For foreign currency exposures, derivatives are used to better manage the cash flow volatility arising from foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
In the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the company does not offset derivative assets against liabilities in master netting arrangements nor does it offset receivables or payables recognized upon payment or receipt of cash collateral against the fair values of the related derivative instruments. The amount recognized in other accounts receivables for the right to reclaim cash collateral was $25 million and $29 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The company restricts the use of cash collateral received to rehypothecation and therefore reports it in restricted cash in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Both the amount recognized in accounts payable for the obligation to return cash collateral and the amount rehypothecated were not material for the periods presented. Additionally, if derivative exposures covered by a qualifying master netting agreement had been netted in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the total derivative asset and liability positions each would have been reduced by $416 million and $352 million, respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (continued)
On July 1, 2024, the company completed the acquisition of StreamSets and webMethods from Software AG. Prior to the acquisition, beginning in December 2023, the company entered into foreign currency derivative contracts which were accounted for as non-hedge derivatives and expired by June 28, 2024. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the company recorded a realized loss of $18 million and $68 million, respectively, in other (income) and expense in the Consolidated Income Statement. There were no associated derivatives outstanding at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
In its hedging programs, the company may use forward contracts, futures contracts, interest-rate swaps, cross-currency swaps, equity swaps, and options depending upon the underlying exposure. The company is not a party to leveraged derivative instruments.
A brief description of the major hedging programs, categorized by underlying risk, follows.
Interest Rate Risk
Fixed and Variable Rate Borrowings
The company issues debt in the global capital markets to fund its operations and financing business. Access to cost-effective financing can result in interest rate mismatches with the underlying assets. To manage these mismatches and to reduce overall interest cost, the company may use interest-rate swaps to convert specific fixed-rate debt issuances into variable-rate debt (i.e., fair value hedges) and to convert specific variable-rate debt issuances into fixed-rate debt (i.e., cash flow hedges). At both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the total notional amount of the company’s interest-rate swaps was $6.7 billion. The weighted-average remaining maturity of these instruments at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was approximately 4.0 years and 4.5 years, respectively. These interest-rate contracts were accounted for as fair value hedges. The company did not have any cash flow hedges relating to this program outstanding at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Foreign Exchange Risk
Long-Term Investments in Foreign Subsidiaries (Net Investment)
A large portion of the company’s foreign currency denominated debt portfolio is designated as a hedge of net investment in major foreign subsidiaries to reduce the volatility in stockholders’ equity caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates in the subsidiaries' functional currency with respect to the U.S. dollar. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying value of debt designated as hedging instruments was $16.5 billion and $14.0 billion, respectively. The company also uses foreign currency derivatives, which may include forward contracts, long-term cross currency swaps, and options, for this risk management purpose. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the total notional amount of derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges was $7.5 billion and $6.2 billion, respectively. At both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the weighted-average remaining maturity of these instruments was less than one year.
Anticipated Royalties and Cost Transactions
The company’s operations generate significant nonfunctional currency, third-party vendor payments and intercompany payments for royalties and goods and services among the company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries and with the company. In anticipation of these foreign currency cash flows and in view of the volatility of the currency markets, the company selectively employs foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its currency risk. These forward contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges. At June 30, 2025, the maximum remaining length of time over which the company hedged its exposure is approximately two years. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the total notional amount of forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted royalty and cost transactions was $10.7 billion and $9.7 billion, respectively. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the weighted-average remaining maturity of these instruments was less than one year.

Table of Contents
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (continued)
At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, in connection with cash flow hedges of anticipated royalties and cost transactions, there were unrealized net losses (before taxes) of $380 million and net unrealized gains (before taxes) of $415 million, respectively, deferred in AOCI. The company estimates that $442 million of the deferred net losses (before taxes) on derivatives in AOCI at June 30, 2025 will be reclassified to net income within the next 12 months, providing an offsetting economic impact against the underlying anticipated transactions.
Foreign Currency Denominated Borrowings
The company is exposed to exchange rate volatility on foreign currency denominated debt. To manage this risk, the company may employ forward contracts or cross-currency swaps to convert the principal, or principal and interest payments of foreign currency denominated debt, to debt denominated in the functional currency of the borrowing entity. These derivatives are accounted for as cash flow hedges.
At June 30, 2025, the maximum length of time remaining over which the company hedged its exposure was approximately six years. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the total notional amount of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges of foreign-currency denominated debt was $5.9 billion and $5.0 billion, respectively.
At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, in connection with forward contracts, there were unrealized net losses (before taxes) of $17 million and net unrealized gains (before taxes) of $84 million, respectively, deferred in AOCI. Approximately $96 million of losses (before taxes) related to the initial forward points excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness is expected to be amortized to other (income) and expense within the next 12 months.
Subsidiary Cash and Foreign Currency Asset/Liability Management
The company uses its Global Treasury Centers to manage the cash of its subsidiaries. These centers principally use currency swaps to convert cash flows in a cost-effective manner. In addition, the company uses forward contracts to economically hedge, on a net basis, the foreign currency exposure of a portion of the company’s nonfunctional currency assets and liabilities. The terms of these forward and swap contracts are generally less than one year. The changes in the fair values of these contracts and of the underlying hedged exposures are generally offsetting and are recorded in other (income) and expense in the Consolidated Income Statement. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the total notional amount of derivative instruments in economic hedges of foreign currency exposure was $5.9 billion and $7.4 billion, respectively.
Equity Risk Management
The company is exposed to market price changes in certain broad market indices and in the company’s own stock primarily related to certain obligations to employees. Changes in the overall value of these employee compensation obligations are recorded in SG&A expense in the Consolidated Income Statement. Although not designated as accounting hedges, the company utilizes derivatives, including equity swaps and futures, to economically hedge the exposures related to its employee compensation obligations. The derivatives are linked to the total return on certain broad market indices or the total return on the company’s common stock, and are recorded at fair value with gains or losses also reported in SG&A expense in the Consolidated Income Statement. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the total notional amount of derivative instruments in economic hedges of these compensation obligations was $1.3 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively.

Pre-tax stock-based compensation cost for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased $125 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior year due to increases in restricted stock units ($102 million) and performance share units ($13 million).
Pre-tax stock-based compensation cost for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased $206 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior year due to increases in restricted stock units ($154 million), performance share units ($34 million), and stock options ($14 million).
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the pre-tax stock-based compensation cost increases reflect the company's annual cycles for executives and other employees and the issuance and assumption of stock-based compensation awards in connection with the HashiCorp acquisition.
Total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested awards at June 30, 2025 was $2.5 billion and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.4 years.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025
Snapshot
Organization of Information:
In the first quarter of 2025, we made changes to the reported revenue categories within our Software and Consulting reportable segments. These changes did not impact our Consolidated Financial Statements or our reportable segments. The revenue categories are reported on a comparable basis for all periods. Refer to note 3, “Revenue Recognition,” for additional information.
Within the tables presented, certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers for disclosure purposes. Percentages presented are calculated from the underlying whole-dollar amounts. Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation. This is annotated where applicable.
Currency:
The references to “adjusted for currency” or “at constant currency” in the Management Discussion do not include operational impacts that could result from fluctuations in foreign currency rates. When we refer to growth rates at constant currency or adjust such growth rates for currency, it is done so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of business performance. Financial results adjusted for currency are calculated by translating current period activity in local currency using the comparable prior-year period’s currency conversion rate. This approach is used for countries where the functional currency is the local 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. Refer to “Currency Rate Fluctuations” for additional information.
Operating (non-GAAP) Earnings:
In an effort to provide better transparency into the operational results of the business, supplementally, management separates business results into operating and non-operating categories. Operating earnings from continuing operations is a non-GAAP measure that excludes the effects of certain acquisition-related charges and intangible asset amortization, expense resulting from basis differences on equity method investments, retirement-related costs and their related tax impacts. Due to the unique, non-recurring nature of the enactment of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA or U.S. tax reform), management characterizes the one-time provisional charge recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017, and adjustments to that charge as non-operating. Adjustments include the tax effect of true-ups, audit adjustments, accounting elections and new regulations or laws that impact the TCJA provisions which resulted in the one-time provisional charge. For acquisitions, operating (non-GAAP) earnings exclude the amortization of acquired intangible assets and acquisition-related charges such as in-process research and development, transaction costs, applicable retention, restructuring and related expenses, tax charges related to acquisition integration and pre-closing charges, such as financing costs. These charges are excluded as they may be inconsistent in amount and timing from period to period and are significantly impacted by the size, type and frequency of our acquisitions. Management also characterized as non-operating expense, given its unique and temporary nature, the impact on the foreign exchange derivative contracts entered into prior to the acquisition of StreamSets and webMethods from Software AG, beginning in December 2023, to economically hedge the foreign currency exposure related to the purchase price of this acquisition. These derivative contracts expired by June 28, 2024. All other spending for acquired companies is included in both earnings from continuing operations and in operating (non-GAAP) earnings. For retirement-related costs, management characterizes certain items as operating and others as non-operating, consistent with GAAP. We include defined benefit plan and nonpension postretirement benefit plan service costs, multi-employer plan costs and the cost of defined contribution plans in operating earnings. Non-operating retirement-related costs include defined benefit plan and nonpension postretirement benefit plan amortization of prior service costs, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortized actuarial gains/losses, the impacts of any plan curtailments/settlements and pension insolvency costs and other costs. Non-operating retirement-related costs are primarily related to changes in pension

plan assets and liabilities which are tied to financial market performance, and we consider these costs to be outside of the operational performance of the business.
Overall, management believes that supplementally 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 our pension plans; improves visibility to management decisions and their impacts on operational performance; enables better comparison to peer companies; and allows us to provide a long-term strategic view of the business going forward. In addition, these non-GAAP measures provide a perspective consistent with areas of interest we routinely receive from investors and analysts.

Macroeconomic Environment:
The strength of our portfolio and the resiliency of our business model underpinned by our hybrid cloud and AI strategy position us well to deliver sustainable and profitable growth. While the current economic and trade environment remains dynamic, we expect technology to continue contributing to overall economic growth and serve as a key source of competitive advantage allowing businesses to scale, drive efficiencies, and fuel growth. This was reflected in our performance in the second quarter. Our disciplined strategy and durable business model enable us to create long-term value for our partners and clients.
In the first six months of 2025, movements in global currencies continued to impact our reported year-to-year revenue and profit. We execute hedging programs which defer, but do not eliminate, the impact of currency. The (gains)/losses from these hedging programs are reflected primarily in other (income) and expense. Refer to “Currency Rate Fluctuations,” for additional information.
Financial Performance Summary — Three Months Ended June 30:
In the second quarter of 2025, we reported $17.0 billion in revenue, income from continuing operations of $2.2 billion, and operating (non-GAAP) earnings of $2.7 billion. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was $2.31 as reported and $2.80 on an operating (non-GAAP) basis. We generated $1.7 billion in cash from operations and $2.8 billion in free cash flow, and delivered shareholder returns of $1.6 billion in dividends. Our second-quarter performance reflects the continued success of our hybrid cloud and AI strategy. With our focus on the fundamentals of our business, we continue to maintain a strong liquidity position and solid cash flow generation which enables us to invest in our business and return value to shareholders through dividends.
Total revenue grew 7.7 percent as reported and 5.3 percent adjusted for currency compared to the prior-year period, led by Software and Infrastructure. Software delivered revenue growth of 9.6 percent as reported and 7.6 percent adjusted for currency, with solid growth in Hybrid Cloud, Automation and Data, reflecting continued growth in our high-value annual recurring revenue base. Consulting revenue increased 2.6 percent as reported and was flat adjusted for currency, as the business continued to stabilize through the second quarter of 2025. Infrastructure revenue increased 13.6 percent year to year as reported and 11.5 percent adjusted for currency, reflecting early strength in our new IBM Z platform.
From a geographic perspective, Americas revenue increased 6.1 percent as reported (6.5 percent adjusted for currency). Europe/Middle East/Africa (EMEA) increased 14.6 percent as reported (8.5 percent adjusted for currency). Asia Pacific increased 1.1 percent as reported but declined 2.7 percent adjusted for currency.
Gross margin of 58.8 percent increased 2.0 points year to year with margin expansion driven primarily by portfolio mix and productivity actions. Operating (non-GAAP) gross margin of 60.1 percent increased 2.3 points compared to the prior-year period due to the same dynamics.
Total expense and other (income) increased 9.6 percent in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024 driven by higher operating acquisition-related spending and the effects of currency. Total operating (non-GAAP) expense and other (income) increased 10.7 percent year to year, driven primarily by the same factors.
Pre-tax income from continuing operations of $2.6 billion increased 17.0 percent and pre-tax margin was 15.3 percent, an increase of 1.2 points compared to the second quarter of 2024. Performance this quarter benefited from our gross margin expansion and productivity actions taken to transform our operations; partially offset by our continued investments to drive innovation. The continuing operations provision for income taxes was $0.4 billion in both the second quarter of 2025 and the second quarter of 2024. Net income from continuing operations of $2.2 billion increased 19.8 percent and the net income from continuing operations margin was 12.9 percent, an increase of 1.3 points year to year.
Operating (non-GAAP) pre-tax income from continuing operations of $3.2 billion increased 14.5 percent compared to the second quarter of 2024 and the operating (non-GAAP) pre-tax margin from continuing operations increased 1.1 points to 18.8 percent driven by the same factors as described above. The operating (non-GAAP) provision for income taxes was $0.5 billion in both the second quarter of 2025 and the second quarter of 2024. Operating (non-GAAP) net income from continuing operations of $2.7 billion increased 16.6 percent and the operating (non-GAAP) net income margin from continuing operations of 15.6 percent increased 1.2 points year to year.

In the first six months of 2025, we reported $31.5 billion in revenue, net income from continuing operations of $3.2 billion, and operating (non-GAAP) earnings of $4.2 billion. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was $3.43 as reported and $4.40 on an operating (non-GAAP) basis. We generated $6.1 billion in cash from operations and $4.8 billion in free cash flow, and delivered shareholder returns of $3.1 billion in dividends. Our year-to-date performance reflects our deep focus on the business fundamentals with continued revenue growth, gross profit margin expansion and strong cash generation, and a balance sheet with financial flexibility to support our business.
Total revenue grew 4.3 percent as reported and 3.9 percent adjusted for currency compared to the prior-year period. Software delivered revenue growth of 8.6 percent as reported and 8.3 percent adjusted for currency, led by strength in our portfolio, innovation we have brought to our organic software, and contribution from the acquisitions we have made over the past twelve months. Consulting revenue was flat as reported and adjusted for currency, impacted by the current dynamic environment and client focus on discretionary spending. Infrastructure revenue increased 4.6 percent as reported and 4.3 percent adjusted for currency, reflecting product cycle dynamics, with strong growth in Hybrid Infrastructure from the newly released IBM z17, partially offset by a decline in Distributed Infrastructure, and a decrease in Infrastructure Support.
From a geographic perspective, Americas revenue increased 2.6 percent year to year as reported (3.4 percent adjusted for currency). EMEA increased 10.3 percent (8.1 percent adjusted for currency). Asia Pacific decreased 0.6 percent (1.4 percent adjusted for currency).
Gross margin of 57.1 percent increased 1.9 points year to year with gross profit margin expansion driven by our improving portfolio mix and productivity actions. Operating (non-GAAP) gross margin of 58.5 percent increased 2.1 points compared to the prior-year period due to the same dynamics.
Total expense and other (income) increased 6.4 percent in the first six months of 2025 versus the prior-year period primarily driven by higher operating acquisition-related spend and the prior-year gain on the divestiture of The Weather Company assets. Total operating (non-GAAP) expense and other (income) increased 7.3 percent year to year, driven primarily by the factors described above.
Pre-tax income from continuing operations of $3.8 billion increased 14.0 percent and pre-tax margin was 11.9 percent, an increase of 1.0 points as compared to the first six months of 2024. Performance in the first six months of 2025 benefited from our gross margin expansion and productivity actions taken to transform our operations; partially offset by our continued investments to drive innovation. Our year-to-year pre-tax income results were also impacted by the gain from the divestiture of The Weather Company assets in the prior-year period. The continuing operations provision for income taxes for the first six months of 2025 was $0.5 billion, compared to a benefit from income taxes of $0.1 billion for the first six months of 2024. The benefit from income taxes in the first six months of 2024 was primarily driven by the resolution of

certain tax audit matters in the first quarter. Net income from continuing operations of $3.2 billion decreased 4.6 percent and the net income from continuing operations margin was 10.3 percent, down 1.0 points year to year.
Operating (non-GAAP) pre-tax income from continuing operations of $4.9 billion increased 10.9 percent compared to the prior-year period and the operating (non-GAAP) pre-tax margin from continuing operations increased 0.9 points to 15.7 percent primarily driven by the same dynamics as described above. The operating (non-GAAP) provision for income taxes in the first six months of 2025 was $0.8 billion, compared to $0.6 billion in the first six months of 2024. The operating (non-GAAP) income tax provision year-to-year change was primarily driven by the same factor described above. O perating (non-GAAP) income from continuing operations of $4.2 billion increased 8.6 percent and the operating (non-GAAP) income margin from continuing operations of 13.2 percent increased 0.5 points year to year.
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was $3.43 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of 6.0 percent compared to the prior-year period. Operating (non-GAAP) diluted earnings per share of $4.40 increased 7.1 percent compared to the prior-year period.
At June 30, 2025, the balance sheet remained strong with financial flexibility to support and invest in the business. Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities at June 30, 2025 of $15.5 billion increased $0.7 billion from December 31, 2024 and debt of $64.2 billion at June 30, 2025 increased $9.2 billion, primarily driven by the first-quarter 2025 debt issuances.
Total assets increased $11.4 billion ($7.4 billion adjusted for currency) from December 31, 2024 primarily driven by an increase in goodwill and intangible assets mainly related to the HashiCorp acquisition. Total liabilities increased $11.2 billion ($6.4 billion adjusted for currency) from December 31, 2024 primarily driven by an increase in debt and deferred income; partially offset by a decrease in taxes payable. Total equity of $27.6 billion increased $0.2 billion from December 31, 2024 primarily driven by first-half 2025 net income and common stock; partially offset by dividends paid and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Cash provided by operating activities was $6.1 billion in the first six months of 2025, a decrease of $0.2 billion compared to the first six months of 2024 which includes a decrease in cash provided by financing receivables of $0.3 billion. Free cash flow was $4.8 billion, an increase of $0.3 billion versus the prior-year period. Refer to page 75 for additional information on free cash flow. Net cash used in investing activities of $11.3 billion increased $9.3 billion compared to the prior-year period primarily driven by cash used for the HashiCorp acquisition. Financing activities were a net source of cash of $2.6 billion in the first six months of 2025 as compared to a use of cash of $2.6 billion in the prior-year period primarily driven by debt.

Second Quarter in Review
Results of Continuing Operations
Segment Details
As discussed in the “Organization of Information” section, in the first quarter of 2025, we made changes to the reported revenue categories within our Software and Consulting reportable segments. IBM's Software segment reports revenue and year-to-year revenue percent change for Hybrid Cloud (Red Hat), Automation, Data, and Transaction Processing. The Software segment no longer reports Hybrid Platform & Solutions or Security revenue categories. IBM's Consulting segment reports revenue and year-to-year revenue percent change for Strategy and Technology and Intelligent Operations. These changes did not impact our Consolidated Financial Statements or our reportable segments.
The following tables present each reportable segment’s revenue and gross margin results, followed by an analysis of the second quarter and first six months of 2025 versus the second quarter and first six months of 2024 reportable segments results. The reported revenue categories within our Software and Consulting reportable segments are reported on a comparable basis for all periods.

(1)Recast to reflect January 2025 changes to the reported revenue categories.
Software revenue of $7,387 million increased 9.6 percent as reported (7.6 percent adjusted for currency) in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the prior-year period, with solid growth in Hybrid Cloud, Automation and Data. This revenue performance reflects our continued growth in our high-value, annual recurring revenue base.
Revenue performance by line of business in the second quarter compared to the prior-year period was as follows:
Hybrid Cloud (Red Hat) year-to-year revenue growth accelerated in the second quarter compared to the first quarter, driven by another quarter of double-digit signings growth and demand for our hybrid cloud solutions. We gained market share across each of our key solutions, led by OpenShift which grew revenue more than 20 percent. Automation revenue grew 16.2 percent as reported (14.4 percent adjusted for currency), with HashiCorp contributing to growth with a strong first full quarter since the acquisition closed. In Data, revenue grew across the portfolio, with strength in our AI offerings. The revenue performance in Transaction Processing reflects where we are in the new z17 cycle as clients prioritized hardware spend at the beginning of a new program.
Across Software, our annual recurring revenue (ARR) was $22.7 billion, which increased 12.2 percent as reported (10.4 percent adjusted for currency). In the first quarter of 2025, the ARR calculation was updated to include all recurring revenue within the Software segment. ARR is a key performance metric management uses to assess the health and growth trajectory of our Software segment, and is calculated by using the current quarter’s recurring revenue and then multiplying that value by four. This value includes the following consumption models: (1) software subscription agreements, including committed term licenses, (2) as-a-service arrangements such as SaaS and PaaS, and (3) maintenance and support contracts. ARR should be viewed independently of software revenue as this performance metric and its inputs may not represent revenue that will be recognized in future periods.
Revenue performance in the first six months of 2025 compared to the prior-year period was as follows:
Software revenue of $13,722 million increased 8.6 percent as reported (8.3 percent adjusted for currency) compared to the same period in 2024. Software represents approximately 45 percent of IBM's business and the performance in the first half of 2025 reflects the combination of the strength of our portfolio, innovation we have brought to our organic software, and contribution from acquisitions we have made during the past twelve months, including HashiCorp, StreamSets and webMethods. Our ability to deploy our AI assistants and agents as well as AI middleware in hybrid environments leveraging multi-model capabilities continues to resonate with clients.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, Consulting signings decreased 15.6 percent as reported (18.2 percent adjusted for currency) and 13.1 percent as reported (13.9 percent adjusted for currency), respectively, as clients continued to delay decision-making, especially in discretionary projects. However, we had continued growth in backlog in the second quarter despite the challenging pricing environment. Our book-to-bill ratio for the trailing twelve-months was over 1.14. Book-to-bill represents the ratio of IBM Consulting signings to its revenue over the same period. The metric is a useful indicator of the demand of our business over time.
Signings are management’s initial estimate of the value of a client’s commitment under a services contract within IBM Consulting. There are no third-party standards or requirements governing the calculation of signings. The calculation used

Management Discussion – (continued)
by management involves estimates and judgments to gauge the extent of a client’s commitment, including the type and duration of the agreement, and the presence of termination charges or wind-down costs.
Contract extensions and increases in scope are treated as signings only to the extent of the incremental new value. Total signings can vary over time due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the timing of signing a small number of larger contracts. Signings associated with an acquisition will be recognized on a prospective basis.
Management believes the estimated values of signings disclosed provide an indication of our forward-looking revenue. Signings are used to monitor the performance of the business and viewed as useful information for management and shareholders. The conversion of signings into revenue may vary based on the types of services and solutions, contract duration, customer decisions, and other factors, which may include, but are not limited to, the macroeconomic environment.

Infrastructure revenue of $4,142 million increased 13.6 percent as reported and 11.5 percent adjusted for currency in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the prior-year period, reflecting early strength in our new IBM Z program, z17, as AI use cases are resonating strongly with clients. IBM Z revenue increased 70.2 percent as reported and 67.1 percent adjusted for currency in the second quarter. The success of our z17 launch highlights the enduring nature of the IBM Z platform through the value of our continued innovation around AI workloads and hybrid cloud architecture. Distributed Infrastructure revenue decreased 15.1 percent as reported (16.9 percent adjusted for currency) with product cycle dynamics impacting Power. In July, we announced Power11, our next-generation platform featuring advancements across the processor, hardware architecture and virtualization software stack. While Storage was impacted by the new IBM Z cycle as clients prioritized hardware spend, our early strength in z17 and growth in installed capacity drives a long-term benefit.
For the first six months of 2025, Infrastructure revenue of $7,027 million increased 4.6 percent as reported (4.3 percent adjusted for currency) compared to the prior-year period, reflecting strong growth in Hybrid Infrastructure driven by z17, partially offset by the decline in Distributed Infrastructure, and a decrease in Infrastructure Support reflecting product cycle dynamics.

Total pre-tax retirement-related plan cost in the second quarter of 2025 decreased by $70 million compared to the second quarter of 2024, primarily driven by a decrease in recognized actuarial losses ($99 million) and lower interest cost ($62 million), partially offset by lower expected return on plan assets ($88 million). Total cost for the first six months of 2025 decreased by $157 million compared to the first six months of 2024, primarily driven by a decrease in recognized actuarial losses ($206 million) and lower interest cost ($144 million), partially offset by lower expected return on plan assets ($203 million).
As described in the “Operating (non-GAAP) Earnings” section, management characterizes certain retirement-related costs as operating and others as non-operating. Utilizing this characterization, operating retirement-related costs in the second quarter of 2025 were $255 million, an increase of $3 million compared to the second quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by increased cost of defined contribution plans ($11 million), partially offset by lower service cost ($8 million). For the first six months of 2025, operating retirement-related costs were $499 million, a decrease of $11 million compared to the prior-year period, primarily driven by lower service cost ($21 million) partially offset by increased cost of defined contribution plans ($10 million). Non-operating costs/(income) was $25 million of cost in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $98 million in the prior-year period, and $48 million for the first six months of 2025 compared to $194 million in the prior-year period. For the periods presented, the year-to-year decreases in recognized actuarial losses and interest cost, and lower expected return on plan assets were primarily driven by the prior year U.S. and

Taxes
The continuing operations provision for income taxes in the second quarter of 2025 was $404 million, compared to $389 million in the second quarter of 2024. The operating (non-GAAP) provision for income taxes in the second quarter of 2025 was $545 million, compared to $516 million in the second quarter of 2024.
The continuing operations provision for income taxes for the first six months of 2025 was $507 million, compared to a benefit from income taxes of $112 million for the first six months of 2024. The benefit from income taxes in the first six months of 2024 was primarily driven by the resolution of certain tax audit matters in the first quarter. The operating (non-GAAP) provision for income taxes in the first six months of 2025 was $766 million, compared to $610 million in the first six months of 2024. The operating (non-GAAP) income tax provision year-to-year change was primarily driven by the same factor described above.
IBM’s tax provision and effective tax rate are impacted by recurring factors including the geographical mix of income before taxes, incentives, specific transactions, changes in unrecognized tax benefits and discrete tax events, such as the settlement of income tax audits and changes in or new interpretations of tax laws. The GAAP tax provision and effective tax rate could also be affected by adjustments to the previously recorded charges for U.S. tax reform attributable to any changes in law, new regulations and guidance, and audit adjustments, among others.
On July 4, 2025, H.R. 1, a bill to provide for reconciliation, was signed into law in the United States as Public Law 119-21 (the Act). The Act incorporates various business tax provisions, including the permanent extension of key measures from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The effects of changes in tax legislation must be recognized in the period of enactment. The company is currently assessing the tax effects of the Act and expects to record a one-time, non-cash charge in the Consolidated Income Statement for the period ending September 30, 2025, primarily for the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI), now renamed to Net Controlled Foreign Corporation Tested Income (NCTI). This one-time, non-cash charge is not expected to impact operating (non-GAAP) net income or operating (non-GAAP) earnings per share.
The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has proposed adjustments related to certain cross-border transactions with respect to the company’s 2013-2014 and 2015-2016 U.S. income tax returns, which if sustained, would increase the company’s income subject to tax by approximately $4.2 billion for the 2013-2014 audit cycle and approximately $1.2 billion for the 2015-2016 audit cycle, with tax calculated at the relevant federal income tax rate. The company strongly disagrees with the IRS’ positions, filed IRS Appeals protests, and will pursue resolution at court, if necessary. In 2021, the IRS commenced its audit of the company’s U.S. tax returns for 2017-2018, which the company anticipates will be completed in 2025. With respect to major U.S. state and foreign taxing jurisdictions, the company is generally no longer subject to tax examinations for years prior to 2016. The company is no longer subject to income tax examination of its U.S. federal tax return for years prior to 2013. The open years contain matters that could be subject to differing interpretations of applicable tax laws and regulations as it relates to the amount and/or timing of income, deductions, and tax credits. Although the outcome of tax audits is always uncertain, the company believes that adequate amounts of tax, interest and penalties have been provided for any adjustments that are expected to result for these years.
The company is involved in a number of income tax-related matters in India challenging tax assessments issued by the India Tax Authorities. As of June 30, 2025, the company had recorded approximately $430 million as prepaid income taxes in India. A significant portion of this balance represents cash tax deposits paid over time to protect the company’s right to appeal various income tax assessments made by the India Tax Authorities. Although the outcome of tax audits is always uncertain, the company believes that adequate amounts of tax, interest and penalties have been provided for any adjustments that are expected to result for these years.
The amount of unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2025 is $9,192 million which can be reduced by $664 million associated with timing adjustments, potential transfer pricing adjustments, and state income taxes. The net amount of $8,528 million, if recognized, would favorably affect the company’s effective tax rate.

Financial Position
Dynamics
Our balance sheet at June 30, 2025 continues to provide us with financial flexibility to support and invest in the business.
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities at June 30, 2025 were $15,530 million, an increase of $726 million compared to December 31, 2024. Total debt of $64,165 million at June 30, 2025 increased $9,192 million compared to December 31, 2024, primarily driven by the first-quarter 2025 debt issuances to increase our financial liquidity and plan for our future debt maturities, and due to currency fluctuation. We continue to manage our debt levels while being acquisitive and without sacrificing investments in our business.
In the first six months of 2025, we generated $6,071 million in cash from operating activities, a decrease of $162 million compared to the first six months of 2024. Within cash from operating activities, cash provided by financing receivables decreased $345 million compared to the prior year. Our free cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $4,808 million, an increase of $285 million versus the prior-year period. Refer to pages 74 through 75 for additional information on free cash flow. We invested $7,845 million in acquisitions primarily for the acquisition of HashiCorp which was completed in the first quarter and we returned $3,112 million to shareholders through dividends in the first six months of 2025.
Our pension plans were well funded at the end of 2024, with worldwide qualified plans funded at 116 percent. Overall pension funded status as of the end of June 2025 was fairly consistent with year-end 2024. We expect contributions for all retirement-related plans to be approximately $1.3 billion in 2025, essentially flat compared to the prior year.
IBM Working Capital

(Dollars in millions) |  | At June 30, 2025 |  | At December 31, 2024
Current assets |  | $ | 34,253 |  |  | $ | 34,482 |

Working capital |  | $ | (3,473) |  |  | $ | 1,340 |
Current ratio |  | 0.91:1 |  | 1.04:1

Working capital decreased $4,813 million from the year-end 2024 position. Current assets decreased $229 million ($1,575 million adjusted for currency) primarily due to decreases in receivables mainly from collections of seasonally higher year-end balances; partially offset by an increase in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities. Current liabilities increased $4,584 million ($3,227 million adjusted for currency) primarily due to increases in short-term debt driven by reclassifications from long-term debt net of maturities, and in deferred income; partially offset by a decrease in taxes payable.

Excluding receivables classified as held for sale, the total IBM receivables provision coverage was 1.5 percent at June 30, 2025, an increase of 10 basis points compared to December 31, 2024. The increase in coverage is primarily driven by an increase in the unallocated allowance for credit losses on financing receivables. The majority of the write-offs during the six months ended June 30, 2025 were related to receivables which had been previously reserved. Refer to Financing's

Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities

(Dollars in millions) |  | At June 30, 2025 |  | At December 31, 2024
Noncurrent assets |  | $ | 114,332 |  |  | $ | 102,693 |

Noncurrent liabilities (excluding debt) |  | $ | 28,052 |  |  | $ | 26,756 |

Noncurrent assets increased $11,639 million ($8,976 million adjusted for currency) primarily due to an increase in goodwill and intangible assets from the HashiCorp acquisition.
Long-term debt increased $5,335 million ($3,411 million adjusted for currency) primarily driven by our first-quarter 2025 debt issuances; partially offset by reclassifications to short-term debt to reflect upcoming maturities.
Noncurrent liabilities (excluding debt) increased $1,296 million (decreased $243 million adjusted for currency) primarily driven by currency.
Debt
Our funding requirements are continually monitored as we execute our strategies to manage the overall asset and liability profile. Additionally, we maintain sufficient flexibility to access global funding sources as needed.

(Dollars in millions) |  | At June 30, 2025 |  | At December 31, 2024
Total debt |  | $ | 64,165 |  |  | $ | 54,973 |
Financing segment debt (1) |  | $ | 11,731 |  |  | $ | 12,116 |
Non-Financing debt |  | $ | 52,434 |  |  | $ | 42,858 |

(1)Refer to Financing’s “Balance Sheet and Return on Equity Highlights” on page 76 for additional details.
Total debt of $64,165 million increased $9,192 million ($7,244 million adjusted for currency) from December 31, 2024, primarily driven by proceeds from issuances of $8,385 million to increase our financial liquidity and plan for our future debt maturities; partially offset by maturities of $2,565 million.
Non-Financing debt of $52,434 million increased $9,577 million ($7,894 million adjusted for currency) from December 31, 2024, primarily as a result of the issuances and maturities described above.
Financing segment debt of $11,731 million decreased $385 million ($650 million adjusted for currency) from December 31, 2024, primarily due to lower funding requirements associated with financing receivables.
Financing provides financing solutions predominantly for IBM’s external client assets, and the debt used to fund Financing assets is primarily comprised of intercompany loans. Total debt changes generally correspond with the level of client and commercial financing receivables, the level of cash and cash equivalents, the change in intercompany and external payables, and the change in intercompany investment from IBM. The terms of the intercompany loans are set by the company to substantially match the term, currency and interest rate variability underlying the financing receivable. The Financing debt-to-equity ratio remained at 9.0 to 1 at June 30, 2025.
Interest expense relating to debt supporting Financing’s external client and internal business is included in the “Financing Results of Operations” and in note 4, “Segments.” In the Consolidated Income Statement, the external debt-related interest expense supporting Financing’s internal financing to the company is classified as interest expense.

Equity
Total equity increased $195 million from December 31, 2024, primarily driven by net income of $3,249 million and common stock of $1,012 million; partially offset by dividends paid of $3,112 million and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $772 million driven by net unrealized losses from cash flow hedges.
Cash Flow
Our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows on page 7, are summarized in the table below. These amounts also include the cash flows associated with the Financing business.

(Dollars in millions) |  |  |  |
For the six months ended June 30: |  | 2025 |  | 2024
Net cash provided by/(used in): |  |  |  |
Operating activities |  | $ | 6,071 |  |  | $ | 6,234 |
Investing activities |  | (11,281) |  |  | (1,971) |
Financing activities |  | 2,589 |  |  | (2,638) |

Net change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash |  | $ | (2,134) |  |  | $ | 1,389 |

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $162 million as compared to the first six months of 2024. This was due to a decrease in cash provided by financing receivables and balance sheet dynamics; partially offset by performance-related improvements within net income.
Net cash used in investing activities increased $9,310 million primarily driven by the HashiCorp acquisition, higher net purchases of marketable securities and other investments, and a decrease in cash provided by divestitures as the first quarter 2024 included the sale of The Weather Company assets.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased $5,226 million primarily driven by a higher level of net debt issuances in the current-year period.
Looking Forward
Technology continues to serve as a key competitive advantage which allows businesses to scale, drive cost efficiencies, productivity, and to fuel growth and transformation. It is clear that technology is playing a significant role as the value of hybrid cloud, automation, data sovereignty, and on-prem solutions becomes even more critical in today’s environment.
Enterprise AI continues to gain traction. The portfolio of AI offerings we have built, including cost efficient, fit-for-purpose open-source models deployed in hybrid environments, is focused on helping businesses scale AI and generate return through productivity improvements and automation. In Software, IBM watsonx provides a robust portfolio of AI products for developing AI apps, managing data, and governing the entire lifecycle of AI models and AI agents. We continue to see Infrastructure play a larger role, enabling hybrid cloud environments for mission-critical transactions and AI workloads, as clients bring AI to their data. In June, we launched the IBM z17, which delivers enhanced AI acceleration through multi-model AI capabilities. In July, we introduced IBM Power11 which delivers the performance, resiliency, and scalability needed to run mission-critical data-intensive workloads. In Consulting, our experts are helping clients design and execute AI strategies by leveraging the IBM Consulting Advantage platform, an AI delivery platform designed to implement solutions at scale, transforming how our consultants work and harnessing AI across every stage of the project lifecycle.
AI is also a powerful driver of transformation for our clients and for IBM. We are transforming our enterprise operations, driving efficiency and cost savings, by leveraging technology and embedding AI in our own workflows, as well as optimizing our supply chain and service delivery. This quarter, we continued to optimize our supply chain by shifting

our Distributed Infrastructure manufacturing to an industry standard strategic partner. This is the next evolution of our supply transformation as we pivot to a simpler, more efficient process.
We remain focused on accelerating innovation speed and impact, and we continue to invest in emerging technologies, including Quantum, bringing new innovations to market. To complement our portfolio, we completed six acquisitions in the first six months of 2025, including the acquisition of HashiCorp in the first quarter, which brought leading automation and security tools that integrate with our hybrid cloud.
Our first-half performance reflects the continued success of our focused strategy around hybrid cloud and AI, highlighting the resiliency of our business model. We remain focused on consistent execution, delivering long-term growth aligned with our financial model.
While the operating environment remains dynamic, we believe our focused portfolio, disciplined investments in innovation, diverse set of businesses and clients, relentless focus on productivity, and strong liquidity position drive the durability of our performance.
Retirement-Related Plans
Our pension plans are well funded. Contributions for all retirement-related plans are expected to be approximately $1.3 billion in 2025, essentially flat compared to 2024, of which $0.1 billion generally relates to legally required contributions to non-U.S. defined benefit and multi-employer plans. We expect 2025 pre-tax retirement-related plan cost to be approximately $1.1 billion. This estimate reflects current pension plan assumptions at December 31, 2024. Within total retirement-related plan cost, operating retirement-related plan cost is expected to be approximately $1.0 billion in 2025, essentially flat compared to 2024. Non-operating retirement-related plan cost is expected to be approximately $0.1 billion, a decrease of approximately $3.3 billion compared to 2024, primarily driven by the $3.1 billion of pension settlement charges resulting from the U.S. and Canada pension transfers in the second half of 2024, and lower recognized actuarial losses.
Currency Rate Fluctuations
Changes in the relative values of non-U.S. currencies to the U.S. dollar affect our financial results and financial position. Movements in currency, and the fact that we do not hedge 100 percent of our currency exposures, will result in a currency impact to our revenues, profit and cash flows throughout 2025. We execute a hedging program which defers, versus eliminates, the volatility of currency impacts on our financial results. During periods of sustained movements in currency, the marketplace and competition adjust to the changing rates over time.
References to “adjusted for currency” or “constant currency” reflect adjustments based upon a simple mathematical formula. However, this constant currency methodology that we utilize to disclose this information does not incorporate any operational actions that management could take to mitigate fluctuating currency rates. Based on the currency rate movements in the second quarter of 2025, revenue from continuing operations increased 7.7 percent as reported and 5 percent at constant currency compared to the prior year. In the first six months of 2025, revenue from continuing operations increased 4.3 percent as reported and 4 percent at constant currency, compared to the same period in 2024.
At June 30, 2025, currency changes resulted in assets and liabilities denominated in most local currencies being translated into more dollars than at year-end 2024. We use financial hedging instruments to limit specific currency risks related to foreign currency-based transactions.
We translate revenue, cost and expense in our non-U.S. operations at current exchange rates in the reported period. In the second quarter of 2025 and first six months of 2025, the impact from currency translation and hedging to year-to-year pre-tax income, operating (non-GAAP) pre-tax income and segments profit margin growth was immaterial. Hedging and certain underlying foreign currency transaction gains and losses are allocated to our segment results. Considering the operational responses mentioned above, movements of exchange rates, and the nature and timing of hedging instruments, it is difficult to predict future currency impacts on any particular period.
For non-U.S. subsidiaries and branches that operate in U.S. dollars or whose economic environment is highly inflationary, translation adjustments are reflected in results of operations. Generally, we manage currency risk in these entities by linking prices and contracts to U.S. dollars.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
In our 2024 Annual Report, on pages 34 to 37, there is a discussion of our liquidity including two tables that present three years of data. The table presented on page 34 includes net cash from operating activities, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term marketable securities, and the size of our global credit facilities for each of the past three years. For the six months ended, or at, as applicable, June 30, 2025, those amounts are $6.1 billion of net cash from operating activities, $15.5 billion of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term marketable securities and $10.0 billion in global credit facilities, respectively. While we have no current plans to draw on these credit facilities, they are available as back-up liquidity. On June 20, 2025, we amended our $2.5 billion Three-Year Credit Agreement and $7.5 billion Five-Year Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreements) to extend the maturity dates. Refer to note 12, “Borrowings,” for additional details on these credit facilities.
The major rating agencies' ratings on our debt securities at June 30, 2025 appear in the following table and remain unchanged from March 31, 2025.

IBM Ratings: |  | Standard and Poor's |  | Moody’s Investors Service |  | Fitch Ratings
Senior long-term debt |  | A- |  | A3 |  | A-
Commercial paper |  | A-2 |  | Prime-2 |  | F1

We have financial flexibility, supported by our strong liquidity position and cash flows, to operate at a single A credit rating. Debt levels have increased $9.2 billion ($7.2 billion adjusted for currency) from December 31, 2024 driven by debt issuances; partially offset by maturities. In the first quarter of 2025, we issued $8.4 billion of debt for general corporate purposes, including our future debt maturity obligations, as well as capital allocation priorities. Refer to note 12, “Borrowings,” for additional information.
We do not have “ratings trigger” provisions in our debt covenants or documentation, which would allow the holders to declare an event of default and seek to accelerate payments thereunder in the event of a change in credit rating. Our debt covenants are well within the required levels. Our contractual agreements governing derivative instruments contain standard market clauses which can trigger the termination of the agreement if our credit rating were to fall below investment grade. At June 30, 2025, the fair value of those instruments that were in a liability position was $820 million, before any applicable netting, and this position is subject to fluctuations in fair value period to period based on the level of our outstanding instruments and market conditions. We have no other contractual arrangements that, in the event of a change in credit rating, would result in a material adverse effect on our financial position or liquidity.
We prepare our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in accordance with applicable accounting standards for cash flow presentation on page 7 of this Form 10-Q and highlight causes and events underlying sources and uses of cash in that format on page 72. For the purpose of running its business, IBM manages, monitors and analyzes cash flows in a different manner.
Management uses free cash flow as a measure to evaluate its operating results, plan shareholder return levels, strategic investments and assess its ability and need to incur and service debt. The entire free cash flow amount is not necessarily available for discretionary expenditures. We define free cash flow as net cash from operating activities less the change in Financing receivables and net capital expenditures, including the investment in software and other asset sales. A key objective of the Financing business is to generate strong returns on equity, and our Financing receivables are the basis for that growth. Accordingly, management considers Financing receivables as a profit-generating investment, not as working capital that should be minimized for efficiency. Therefore, management includes presentations of both free cash flow and net cash from operating activities that exclude the effect of Financing receivables.

The following is management’s view of cash flows for the first six months of 2025 and 2024 prepared in a manner consistent with the description above.

(1)Prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the change in 2025 presentation.
(2)Includes net change in short-term marketable securities.
In the first six months of 2025, we generated $4.8 billion in free cash flow, an increase of $0.3 billion versus the prior-year period. The increase was primarily driven by performance-related improvements within net income; partially offset by working capital. In the first six months of 2025, we invested $7.8 billion in acquisitions, including the acquisition of HashiCorp, and we continued to return value to shareholders with $3.1 billion in dividends.
Events that could temporarily change the historical cash flow dynamics discussed previously and in our 2024 Annual Report include significant changes in operating results, material changes in geographic sources of cash, unexpected adverse impacts from litigation, future pension funding requirements, periods of severe downturn in the capital markets or the timing of tax payments. Whether any litigation has such an adverse impact will depend on a number of variables, which are more completely described in note 14, “Contingencies,” in this Form 10-Q. With respect to pension funding, we expect to make legally mandated pension plan contributions to certain non-U.S. defined benefit plans of approximately $100 million in 2025. Contributions related to all retirement-related plans are expected to be approximately $1.3 billion in 2025. Refer to “Retirement-Related Plans” for additional information. Financial market performance could increase the legally mandated minimum contributions in certain non-U.S. countries that require more frequent remeasurement of the funded status. We are not quantifying any further impact from pension funding because it is not possible to predict future movements in the capital markets or changes in pension plan funding regulations. In 2025, we are not legally required to make any contributions to the U.S. defined benefit pension plans.
Our cash flows are sufficient to fund our current operations and obligations, including investing and financing activities such as dividends and debt service. When additional requirements arise, we have several liquidity options available. These options may include the ability to borrow additional funds at reasonable interest rates and utilizing our committed global credit facilities. Our overall shareholder payout remains at a comfortable level and we remain fully committed to our long-standing dividend policy.

Segment profit |  | $ | 248 |  |  | $ | 168 |  |  | 47.1 | % |  |
Segment profit margin |  | 69.3 | % |  | 46.5 | % |  | 22.8 | pts. |  |

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, financing revenue decreased 1.7 percent as reported (3.3 percent adjusted for currency) compared to the prior-year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, financing revenue decreased 1.2 percent as reported (0.3 percent adjusted for currency) compared to the prior-year period.
Segment profit increased 134.2 percent to $179 million and segment profit margin increased 62.6 points to 107.9 percent, respectively, in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the prior-year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, segment profit increased 47.1 percent to $248 million and segment profit margin increased 22.8 points to 69.3 percent, respectively, compared to the prior-year period. The increase in segment profit for both periods was primarily driven by higher intercompany financing net other income for sales of returned equipment to Infrastructure which reflects IBM Z product cycle dynamics.
Balance Sheet and Return on Equity Highlights

(Dollars in millions) |  | At June 30, 2025 |  | At December 31, 2024
Client financing receivables (1) |  | $ | 11,221 |  |  | $ | 10,294 |
Commercial financing receivables (1) (2) |  | $ | 1,282 |  |  | $ | 2,216 |
Financing Segment Debt (3) |  | $ | 11,731 |  |  | $ | 12,116 |
Equity |  | $ | 1,303 |  |  | $ | 1,346 |

(1)Refer to note 9, “Financing Receivables,” for additional information.
(2)Includes both held for investment and held for sale receivables. The 2024 receivables amounts have been combined to conform to the 2025 presentation.
(3)Financing segment debt is primarily comprised of intercompany loans.
Return on equity was 49.2 percent compared to 21.4 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Return on equity was 32.8 percent compared to 22.5 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in both periods was primarily driven by higher net income which reflects the increase in segment profit as described above. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, return on equity is calculated as annualized after-tax segment profit divided by the average of the ending equity for Financing for the last two quarters and three quarters, respectively. Annualized after-tax segment profit is a function of IBM's provision for income taxes determined on a consolidated basis.

The following table presents Client financing and Commercial financing receivables excluding receivables classified as held for sale.

(Dollars in millions) |  | At June 30, 2025 |  | At December 31, 2024
Amortized cost |  | $ | 11,898 |  |  | $ | 11,738 |
Specific allowance for credit losses |  | 93 |  |  | 99 |
Unallocated allowance for credit losses |  | 48 |  |  | 29 |
Total allowance for credit losses |  | 141 |  |  | 128 |
Net financing receivables |  | $ | 11,757 |  |  | $ | 11,611 |
Allowance for credit losses coverage |  | 1.2 | % |  | 1.1 | %

The percentage of Financing segment receivables reserved increased from 1.1 percent at December 31, 2024, to 1.2 percent at June 30, 2025, primarily driven by an increase in unallocated allowance for credit losses which reflects current economic conditions.
We continue to apply our rigorous credit policies. Approximately 78 percent of the total external portfolio was with investment grade clients, an increase of 4 points as compared to December 31, 2024. This investment grade percentage is based on the credit ratings of the companies in the portfolio and reflects certain mitigating actions taken to reduce the risk to IBM. For additional information relating to the company's credit quality and mitigation actions, including sales of receivables, refer to note 9, “Financing Receivables.”
