"We again had solid cash generation for the quarter and over the last year, while maintaining a strong balance sheet and the liquidity to support our hybrid cloud and AI strategy," said James Kavanaugh, IBM senior vice president and chief financial officer. "Our post-separation portfolio mix is shifted toward our growth vectors, with a higher-value recurring revenue stream and strong cash generation, allowing us to continue to invest in the business and provide attractive shareholder returns."

 

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

 

In the third quarter, the company generated net cash from operating activities of $2.7 billion. IBM's free cash flow was $0.6 billion, which includes $0.6 billion of cash impacts from the company's structural actions initiated in the fourth quarter of 2020 and the transaction costs associated with the separation of Kyndryl. IBM's adjusted free cash flow, excluding these cash impacts, was $1.2 billion. The company returned $1.5 billion to shareholders in dividends.

 

Over the last 12 months, the company generated net cash from operating activities of $16.1 billion. IBM's free cash flow for the last 12 months was $9.2 billion.

IBM ended the third quarter with $8.4 billion of cash on hand (includes marketable securities), down $5.9 billion from year-end 2020 reflecting acquisitions of $3.0 billion and debt reduction payments. Debt, including Global Financing debt of $15.9 billion, totaled $54.5 billion, down $7.0 billion since the end of 2020, and down $18.5 billion since closing the Red Hat acquisition.

Presentation of Information in this Press Release

 

In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding the company's results as determined by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the company has also disclosed in this press release the following non-GAAP information, which management believes provides useful information to investors:

 

IBM results --

   -- adjusting for currency (i.e., at constant currency); 
 
   -- total revenue and cloud revenue adjusting for divested businesses and 
      currency; 
 
   -- total revenue normalized to exclude Kyndryl to be separated in November; 
 
   -- Red Hat revenue normalized for historical comparability; 
 
   -- presenting operating (non-GAAP) earnings per share amounts and related 
      income statement items; 
 
   -- free cash flow; 
 
   -- adjusted free cash flow. 
 

The rationale for management's use of these non-GAAP measures is included in Exhibit 99.2 in the Form 8-K that includes this press release and is being submitted today to the SEC.
