    Presentation of Information in this Press Release

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

    IBM results —

    • adjusting for currency (i.e., at constant currency);
    • presenting operating (non-GAAP) earnings per share amounts and related income statement items;
    • free cash flow;
    • net cash from operating activities excluding IBM Financing receivables;
    • adjusted EBITDA.

    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.

    For generative AI, book of business includes Software transactional revenue, SaaS Annual Contract Value and Consulting signings.

    Conference Call and Webcast

    IBM's regular quarterly earnings conference call is scheduled to begin at 5:00 p.m. ET, today. The Webcast may be accessed via a link at https://www.ibm.com/investor/events/earnings-2q24. Presentation charts will be available shortly before the Webcast.
