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. Refer to the company's 2013 Annual Report on pages 67 to 70 for a discussion of the company's critical accounting estimates.
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 2013 Annual Report.
Noncontrolling interest amounts in income of $2.4 million and $0.9 million, net of tax, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $1.9 million and $2.3 million, net of tax, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, are included in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings within the other (income) and expense line item.
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 year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. This is annotated where applicable.
2. Accounting Changes: In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. Revenue recognition will depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application. The guidance is effective January 1, 2017 and early adoption is not permitted. The company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance and the method of adoption in the consolidated financial results.
In April 2014, the FASB issued guidance that changed the criteria for reporting a discontinued operation. Only disposals of a component that represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results is a discontinued operation. The guidance also requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations and disposals of a significant part of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. The guidance is effective January 1, 2015 with early adoption permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in previously-issued financial statements. The impact to the company will be dependent on any transaction that is within the scope of the new guidance.
In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance regarding the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. Under certain circumstances, unrecognized tax benefits should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. The guidance was effective January 1, 2014. The guidance was a change in financial statement presentation only and did not have a material impact in the consolidated financial results.
In March 2013, the FASB issued guidance on when foreign currency translation adjustments should be released to net income. When a parent entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within a foreign entity, the parent is required to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income. Accordingly, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. The guidance was effective January 1, 2014 and did not have a material impact in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of the guidance is
9
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (continued)
fixed at the reporting date. Examples include debt arrangements, other contractual obligations and settled litigation matters. The guidance requires an entity to measure such obligations as the sum of the amount that the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors plus additional amounts the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The guidance was effective January 1, 2014 and did not have a material impact in the consolidated financial results.
Fair Value Measurements
Accounting guidance defines fair value 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. Under this guidance, the company is required to classify 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.
The guidance requires the use of observable market data if such data is available without undue cost and effort.
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.
As an example, the fair value of derivatives is derived utilizing a discounted cash flow model that uses observable market inputs such as known notional value amounts, yield curves, spot and forward exchange rates as well as discount rates. These inputs relate to liquid, heavily traded currencies with active markets which are available for the full term of the derivative.
Certain financial assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets include equity method investments that are recognized at fair value at the measurement date to the extent that they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. Certain assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis can be subject to nonrecurring fair value measurements. These assets include available-for-sale equity investments that are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. In the event of an other-than-temporary impairment of a financial investment, fair value is measured using a model described above.
Non-financial assets such as property, plant and equipment, land, goodwill and intangible assets are also subject to nonrecurring fair value measurements if they are deemed to be impaired. The impairment models used for nonfinancial assets depend on the type of asset. See note A, “Significant Accounting Policies - Impairment,” on page 88 in the company’s 2013 Annual Report for additional information. There were no material impairments of non-financial assets for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (continued)
Accounting guidance permits the measurement of eligible financial assets, financial liabilities and firm commitments at fair value, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, that are otherwise not permitted to be accounted for at fair value under other accounting standards. This election is irrevocable. The company has not applied the fair value option to any eligible assets or liabilities.
The following tables present the company’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value
Short-Term Receivables and Payables
Notes and other accounts receivable 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.
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, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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.
12
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 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 $34,008 million and $32,856 million, and the estimated fair value was $36,367 million and $34,555 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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.
Debt and Marketable Equity Securities
The company’s cash equivalents and current debt securities are considered available-for-sale and recorded at fair value, which is not materially different from carrying value, in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
During the first quarter of 2014, the company acquired equity investments in conjunction with the sale of the customer care business which are classified as trading securities. Unrealized gains related to trading securities of $15 million and $21 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, were recorded in other (income) and expense in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings.
The following tables summarize the company’s noncurrent debt and marketable equity securities which are considered available-for-sale and recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

The contractual maturities of substantially all available-for-sale debt securities are less than one year at June 30, 2014.
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 and commodity price changes and client credit 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 financing 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.
As a result of the use of derivative instruments, the company is exposed to the risk that counterparties to derivative contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate the counterparty credit risk, the company has a policy of only entering into contracts with carefully selected major financial institutions based upon their overall credit profile. The company’s established policies and procedures for mitigating credit risk on principal transactions include reviewing and establishing limits for credit exposure and continually assessing the creditworthiness of counterparties. The right of set-off that exists under certain of these arrangements enables the legal entities of the company subject to the arrangement to net amounts due to and from the counterparty reducing the maximum loss from credit risk in the event of counterparty default.
The company is also a party to collateral security arrangements with most of its major derivative counterparties. These arrangements require the company to hold or post collateral (cash or U.S. Treasury securities) when the derivative fair values exceed contractually established thresholds. Posting thresholds can be fixed or can vary based on credit default swap pricing or credit ratings received from the major credit agencies. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments under these collateralized arrangements that were in a liability position at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $150 million and $216 million, respectively, for which no collateral was posted at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Full collateralization of these agreements would be required in the event that the company’s credit rating falls below investment grade or if its credit default swap spread exceeds 250 basis points, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of the collateral security arrangements. The aggregate fair value of derivative instruments in net asset positions as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $772 million and $719 million, respectively. This amount represents the maximum exposure to loss at the reporting date if the counterparties failed to perform as contracted. This exposure was reduced by $184 million and $251 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, of liabilities included in master netting arrangements with those counterparties. Additionally, at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, this exposure was reduced by $42 million and $29 million of cash collateral, respectively, received by the company. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the net exposure related to derivative assets recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position was $528 million and $439 million, respectively. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the net exposure related to derivative liabilities recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position was $158 million and $250 million, respectively.
14
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (continued)
In the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, 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. No amount was recognized in other receivables at June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013 for the right to reclaim cash collateral. The amount recognized in accounts payable for the obligation to return cash collateral totaled $42 million and $29 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The company restricts the use of cash collateral received to rehypothecation, and therefore reports it in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. No amount was rehypothecated at June 30, 2014 or at December 31, 2013. At June 30, 2014, the company held $19 million in non-cash collateral in U.S. Treasury securities, and at December 31, 2013, no amounts of non-cash collateral were held.
The company may employ derivative instruments to hedge the volatility in stockholders’ equity resulting from changes in currency exchange rates of significant foreign subsidiaries of the company with respect to the U.S. dollar. These instruments, designated as net investment hedges, expose the company to liquidity risk as the derivatives have an immediate cash flow impact upon maturity which is not offset by a cash flow from the translation of the underlying hedged equity. The company monitors this cash loss potential on an ongoing basis and may discontinue some of these hedging relationships by de-designating or terminating the derivative instrument in order to manage the liquidity risk. Although not designated as accounting hedges, the company may utilize derivatives to offset the changes in the fair value of the de-designated instruments from the date of de-designation until maturity.
In its hedging programs, the company uses forward contracts, futures contracts, interest-rate swaps, cross-currency 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, principally to fund its financing lease and loan portfolios. 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 uses 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 June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the total notional amount of the company’s interest rate swaps was $5.9 billion and $3.1 billion, respectively. The weighted-average remaining maturity of these instruments at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was approximately 9.2 years and 10.6 years, respectively.
Forecasted Debt Issuance
The company is exposed to interest rate volatility on future debt issuances. To manage this risk, the company may use forward starting interest-rate swaps to lock in the rate on the interest payments related to the forecasted debt issuance. These swaps are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The company did not have any derivative instruments relating to this program outstanding at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, net gains of approximately $1 million (before taxes), respectively, were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) in connection with cash flow hedges of the company’s borrowings. Within these amounts, gains of less than $1 million, respectively, are expected to be reclassified to net income within the next 12 months, providing an offsetting economic impact against the underlying transactions.
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 foreign subsidiaries to reduce the volatility in stockholders’ equity caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates in the functional currency of major foreign subsidiaries with respect to the U.S. dollar. The company also uses cross-currency swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts for this risk management purpose. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the total notional amount of derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges was $4.1 billion and $3.0 billion, respectively. The weighted-average remaining maturity of these instruments at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was approximately 0.3 years and 0.4 years, respectively.
15
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (continued)
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 parent 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. The maximum length of time over which the company has hedged its exposure to the variability in future cash flows is four years. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the total notional amount of forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted royalty and cost transactions was $9.9 billion and $10.2 billion, respectively, with a weighted-average remaining maturity of 0.7 years for both periods.
At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, in connection with cash flow hedges of anticipated royalties and cost transactions, the company recorded net losses of $131 million and $252 million (before taxes), respectively, in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss). Within these amounts, $152 million and $166 million of losses, respectively, are expected to 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 employs cross-currency swaps to convert fixed-rate foreign currency denominated debt to fixed-rate debt denominated in the functional currency of the borrowing entity. These swaps are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The maximum length of time over which the company has hedged its exposure to the variability in future cash flows is approximately seven years. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the total notional amount of cross currency swaps designated as cash flow hedges of foreign currency denominated debt was $1.2 billion for both periods.
At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, in connection with cash flow hedges of foreign currency denominated borrowings, the company recorded net losses of $26 million (before taxes) and $9 million (before taxes), respectively, in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss). Within these amounts, $4 million of losses and $3 million of losses, respectively, is expected to be reclassified to net income within the next 12 months, providing an offsetting economic impact against the underlying exposure.
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 foreign exchange 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 Statement of Earnings. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the total notional amount of derivative instruments in economic hedges of foreign currency exposure was $16.6 billion and $14.7 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 selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. 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 Statement of Earnings. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the total notional amount of derivative instruments in economic hedges of these compensation obligations was $1.3 billion for both periods.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (continued)
Other Risks
The company may hold warrants to purchase shares of common stock in connection with various investments that are deemed derivatives because they contain net share or net cash settlement provisions. The company records the changes in the fair value of these warrants in other (income) and expense in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. The company did not have any warrants qualifying as derivatives outstanding at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
The company is exposed to a potential loss if a client fails to pay amounts due under contractual terms. The company may utilize credit default swaps to economically hedge its credit exposures. The swaps are recorded at fair value with gains and losses reported in other (income) and expense in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. The company did not have any derivative instruments relating to this program outstanding at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
The company is exposed to market volatility on certain investment securities. The company may utilize options to economically hedge its market exposure. The options are recorded at fair value with gains and losses reported in other (income) and expense in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. At June 30, 2014 the total notional amount of derivative instruments in economic hedges of investment securities was $0.1 billion. No amounts were outstanding under this program at December 31, 2013.
The following tables provide a quantitative summary of the derivative and non-derivative instrument-related risk management activity as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, as well as for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively:

When determining the allowances, financing receivables are evaluated either on an individual or a collective basis. For individually evaluated receivables, the company determines the expected cash flow for the receivable and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts in which the loss is probable, the company records a specific reserve. In addition, the company records an unallocated reserve that is determined by applying a reserve rate to its different portfolios, excluding accounts that have been specifically reserved. This reserve rate is based upon credit rating, probability of default, term, characteristics (lease/loan) and loss history.
Financing Receivables on Non-Accrual Status
Certain receivables for which the company has recorded a specific reserve may also be placed on non-accrual status. Non-accrual assets are those receivables with specific reserves and other accounts for which it is likely that the company will

be unable to collect all amounts due according to original terms of the lease or loan agreement. Income recognition is discontinued on these receivables.
The following table presents the recorded investment in financing receivables which were on non-accrual status at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

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 Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services credit ratings as shown below. The company uses information provided by Standard & Poor’s, where available, as one of many inputs in its determination of customer credit ratings.
The following tables present the gross recorded investment for each class of receivables, by credit quality indicator, at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Receivables with a credit quality indicator ranging from AAA to BBB- are considered investment grade. All others are considered non-investment grade. The credit quality indicators do not reflect mitigation actions that the company may take to transfer credit risk to third parties.

The decrease in pre-tax stock-based compensation cost for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, was due to decreases related to restricted stock units ($10 million), performance share units ($5 million) and the company’s assumption of stock-based awards previously issued by acquired entities ($4 million). The decrease in the pre-tax stock-based compensation cost for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, was due to decreases related to restricted stock units ($19 million), performance share units ($12 million) and the company’s assumption of stock-based awards previously issued by acquired entities ($8 million).
As of June 30, 2014, the total unrecognized compensation cost of $1,184 million related to non-vested awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.6 years.
There was no significant capitalized stock-based compensation cost at June 30, 2014 and 2013.
6. Segments: The tables on pages 27 and 28 reflect the results of operations of the company’s segments consistent with the management and measurement system utilized within the company. Performance measurement is based on pre-tax income. These results are used, in part, by senior management, both in evaluating the performance of, and in allocating resources to, each of the segments.

On March 24, 2014, the Supreme Court of Spain issued a ruling against IBM Spain in litigation involving its defined benefit and defined contribution plans. See page 43 for additional information. As a result of the ruling, the company recorded an additional pre-tax retirement-related obligation of $55 million in the first quarter of 2014 in selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. This charge is not reflected in operating (non-GAAP) expense. This obligation is reflected in "Non-U.S. Plans - Multi-employer plans/other costs" in the six months table above. To date, the rulings in this case are declaratory only and there have been no quantifications of any individual remedies.
In March 2014, the company initiated a change to the investment strategy of its U.S. defined benefit plan. The 2014 target asset allocation was modified, primarily by reducing equity securities from 42 percent to 32 percent, and increasing debt securities from 47 percent to 57 percent of total plan assets, respectively. The asset allocation change was substantially completed by March 31, 2014. This change was designed to reduce the potential negative impact that equity markets might have on the funded status of the U.S. defined benefit plan. The change is expected to reduce the 2015 expected long-term rate of return on assets to approximately 7.75 percent. See note S, "Retirement-Related Benefits," on page 135 in the company's 2013 Annual Report for additional information regarding the company's investment strategy.
In 2014, the company expects to contribute to its non-U.S. defined benefit and multi-employer plans approximately $600 million, which will be mainly contributed to the defined benefit pension plans in Japan, the UK, Switzerland and the Netherlands. This amount represents the legally mandated minimum contributions. Total net contributions to the non-U.S. plans in the first six months of 2014 were $257 million.

In connection with the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the ‘Act’), the company qualified to receive a subsidy through 2013. Due to benefit plan changes effective January 1, 2014, the company no longer qualifies for the subsidy as of that date. The company is expected to receive additional subsidies after 2013 to true up the final subsidy amount due to IBM under the Act. The company received a $17.6 million subsidy in the second quarter of 2014 and a $23.0 million subsidy for the first six months of 2014. For further information related to the Act, refer to page 141 in the company’s 2013 Annual Report.
Acquisitions: During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the company completed four acquisitions at an aggregate cost of $571 million.
The Software segment completed acquisitions of four privately held companies: in the first quarter, Aspera, Inc. (Aspera) and Cloudant, Inc. (Cloudant); and in the second quarter, Silverpop Systems, Inc. (Silverpop) and Cognea Group Pty LTD (Cognea). All acquisitions were for 100 percent of the acquired companies.
The following table reflects the purchase price related to these acquisitions and the resulting purchase price allocations as of June 30, 2014:

Each acquisition further complemented and enhanced the company’s portfolio of product and services offerings. Aspera’s technology makes cloud computing faster, more predictable and more cost effective for big data transfers such as enterprise storage, sharing virtual images or accessing the cloud for increased computing capacity. Cloudant will extend the company’s mobile and cloud platform by enabling developers to easily and quickly create next generation mobile and web-based applications. Silverpop is a provider of cloud-based capabilities that deliver personalized customer engagements in highly scalable environments. Cognea offers personalized artificial intelligence capabilities designed to serve as an intuitive interface between human users and data-driven information. Purchase price consideration for all acquisitions as reflected in the table above, is paid primarily in cash. All acquisitions are reported in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows net of acquired cash and cash equivalents.
The acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations using the acquisition method, and accordingly, the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity was recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The primary items that generated the goodwill are the value of the synergies between the acquired companies and IBM and the acquired assembled workforce, neither of which qualify as an amortizable intangible asset. The overall weighted-average life of the identified amortizable intangible assets acquired is 6.8 years. These identified intangible assets will be amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. Goodwill of $417 million has been assigned to the Software segment. It is expected that none of the goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes.
Divestitures:
On January 23, 2014, IBM and Lenovo Group Limited (Lenovo) announced a definitive agreement in which Lenovo will acquire the company’s industry standard x86 server portfolio for $2.3 billion, consisting of approximately $2 billion in cash, with the balance in Lenovo common stock. The stock will represent less than 5 percent equity ownership in Lenovo. The company will sell to Lenovo its System x, BladeCenter and Flex System blade servers and switches, x86-based Flex integrated systems, NeXtScale and iDataPlex servers and associated software, blade networking and maintenance operations.
IBM and Lenovo plan to enter into a strategic relationship which will include a global OEM and reseller agreement for sales of IBM’s industry-leading entry and midrange Storwize disk storage systems, tape storage systems, General Parallel File System software, SmartCloud Entry offering, and elements of IBM’s system software, including Systems Director and Platform Computing solutions. Following the closing of the transaction, Lenovo will assume related customer service and maintenance operations. IBM will continue to provide maintenance delivery on Lenovo’s behalf for an extended period of time.
The transaction will be completed as soon as is practical, subject to the satisfaction of regulatory requirements, customary closing conditions and any other required approvals. At June 30, 2014, the company is engaged in the regulatory review process and in the activities necessary to separate the tangible assets and prepare such assets for sale in order to close the transaction. The transaction is expected to be completed in phases, with the initial closing expected in the second half of 2014. Subsequent local closings will occur subject to similar conditions, agreements and the information and consultation process in applicable countries.
36
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (continued)
The company expects to recognize a total pre-tax gain on the sale of approximately $1 billion. This gain will be recognized consistent with the closing schedule for the transaction. The exact amount of the gain and the breakdown by closing date is not yet determinable. The variables that can impact the final gain and the financial statements overall include the valuation of the final balance sheet transferred, the valuation of other related agreements, any impacts resulting from the finalization of regulatory reviews and transaction-related expenses. In addition, the total impact to pre-tax income as a result of the divestiture will reflect other costs, such as performance-related compensation, to the extent impacted by the recognition of the divestiture gain.
The company’s worldwide x86 business is reported in the Systems and Technology segment, and the associated maintenance operations are part of the Global Technology Services segment. In 2013, this combined business delivered approximately $4.6 billion of revenue, was essentially breakeven on a pre-tax income basis and had approximately $100 million in tangible assets.
On September 10, 2013, IBM and SYNNEX announced a definitive agreement in which SYNNEX will acquire the company’s worldwide customer care business process outsourcing services business for $501 million, consisting of approximately $430 million in cash, net of balance sheet adjustments, and $71 million in SYNNEX common stock, which represents less than 5 percent equity ownership in SYNNEX. As part of the transaction, SYNNEX entered into a multi-year agreement with the company, and Concentrix, SYNNEX’s outsourcing business, has become an IBM strategic business partner for global customer care business process outsourcing services.
The transaction is being completed in phases. The initial closing was completed in January 2014 and the company recognized a pre-tax gain of $98 million in the first quarter. In April 2014, the company completed the second closing which resulted in an additional pre-tax gain of $121 million. A final closing is expected to occur in the second half of 2014, with a minimal amount of additional pre-tax gain expected to be recognized.
On April 17, 2012, the company announced that it had signed a definitive agreement with Toshiba TEC for the sale of its Retail Store Solutions business. As part of the transaction, the company agreed to transfer the maintenance business to Toshiba TEC within three years of the original closing of the transaction.
In the second quarter of 2014, the company completed the second phase of the transfer of the maintenance workforce to Toshiba. Subsequent wave closings are scheduled to be completed through the first quarter of 2015 along with associated parts and inventory transfer. The second phase transfer and an assessment of the ongoing contractual terms of the overall transaction resulted in the recognition of an additional pre-tax gain of $2 million in the second quarter of 2014. For the first six months of 2014, the company has recognized a total pre-tax gain of $36 million.
The company expects to close the final phase of the divestiture in the first quarter of 2015. Overall, the company expects to recognize a cumulative total pre-tax gain on the sale of approximately $508 million.
On June 30, 2014, the company completed the divestiture of its Solid DB suite of products to UNICOM. The company acquired this product set through the acquisition of Solid Information Technology in 2008, which is within the Software segment. Also on June 30, 2014, the company completed the divestiture of its Human Capital Management business line in France to Sopra Group. This business line was within the Global Business Services segment. Financial details for both transactions were not material.

* Other intangibles are primarily acquired proprietary and non-proprietary business processes, methodologies and systems.
The net carrying amount of intangible assets decreased $286 million during the first six months of 2014, primarily due to amortization, partially offset by intangible asset additions resulting from acquisitions. The aggregate intangible amortization expense was $340 million and $679 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2014, respectively, versus $326 million and $657 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively. In addition, in the first six months of 2014, the company retired $337 million of fully amortized intangible assets, impacting both the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization by this amount.
The amortization expense for each of the five succeeding years relating to intangible assets currently recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position is estimated to be the following at June 30, 2014:

Note: The 2014-2015 maturities at 12/31/2013 includes $17 million of debt securities issued by IBM International Group Capital, LLC, which is an indirect, 100 percent owned finance subsidiary of the company which matured in the first half of 2014. Debt securities issued by IBM International Group Capital LLC are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the company.
* The portion of the company’s fixed-rate debt obligations that is hedged is reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as an amount equal to the sum of the debt’s carrying value plus a fair value adjustment representing changes in the fair value of the hedged debt obligations attributable to movements in benchmark interest rates.
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 all of its significant 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.

13. 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. 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, 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, 2014 were not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
41
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (continued)
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, 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.
The company is a defendant in an action filed on March 6, 2003 in state court in Salt Lake City, Utah by the SCO Group (SCO v. IBM). The company removed the case to Federal Court in Utah. Plaintiff is an alleged successor in interest to some of AT&T’s UNIX IP rights, and alleges copyright infringement, unfair competition, interference with contract and breach of contract with regard to the company’s distribution of AIX and Dynix and contribution of code to Linux. The company has asserted counterclaims, including breach of contract, violation of the Lanham Act, unfair competition, intentional torts, unfair and deceptive trade practices, breach of the General Public License that governs open source distributions, promissory estoppel and copyright infringement. Motions for summary judgment were heard in March 2007, and the court has not yet issued its decision. On September 14, 2007, plaintiff filed for bankruptcy protection, and all proceedings in this case were stayed. On August 25, 2009, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware approved the appointment of a Trustee of SCO. The court in another suit, the SCO Group, Inc. v. Novell, Inc., held a trial in March 2010. The jury found that Novell is the owner of UNIX and UnixWare copyrights; the judge subsequently ruled that SCO is obligated to recognize Novell’s waiver of SCO’s claims against IBM and Sequent for breach of UNIX license agreements. On August 30, 2011, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the district court’s ruling and denied SCO’s appeal of this matter. In June 2013, the Federal Court in Utah granted SCO’s motion to reopen the SCO v. IBM case. On July 10, 2013, the Court entered an order dismissing 7 of SCO's 10 claims, specifically its breach of contract and copyright claims, and one tortious interference claim.
On May 13, 2010, IBM and the State of Indiana (acting on behalf of the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration) sued one another in a dispute over a 2006 contract regarding the modernization of social service program processing in Indiana. The State terminated the contract, claiming that IBM was in breach, and the State is seeking damages. IBM believes the State’s claims against it are without merit and is seeking payment of termination amounts specified in the contract. After six weeks of trial, on July 18, 2012, the Indiana Superior Court in Marion County rejected the State’s claims in their entirety and awarded IBM $52 million plus interest and costs. On February 13, 2014, the Indiana Court of Appeals reversed portions of the trial judge’s findings, found IBM in material breach, and ordered the case remanded to the trial judge to determine the State's damages, if any. The Indiana Court of Appeals also affirmed approximately $50 million of the trial court's award of damages to IBM. This matter remains pending in the Indiana courts.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (continued)
On April 16, 2014, Iusacell SA de C.V. (Iusacell) sued IBM, claiming that IBM made fraudulent misrepresentations that induced Iusacell to enter into an agreement with IBM Mexico. Iusacell claims $2.5 billion in damages for lost profits. Iusacell’s complaint relates to a contractual dispute in Mexico, which is the subject of a pending arbitration proceeding in Mexico initiated by IBM Mexico against Iusacell for breach of the underlying agreement.
IBM United Kingdom Limited (IBM UK) initiated legal proceedings in May 2010 before the High Court in London against the IBM UK Pensions Trust (the UK Trust) and two representative beneficiaries of the UK Trust membership. IBM UK is seeking a declaration that it acted lawfully both in notifying the Trustee of the UK Trust that it was closing its UK defined benefit plans to future accruals for most participants and in implementing the company’s new retirement policy. On April 4, 2014, the High Court acknowledged that the changes made to its UK defined benefit plans were within IBM’s discretion, but ruled that IBM breached its implied duty of good faith both in implementing these changes and in the manner in which it consulted with employees. Proceedings to determine remedies began on July 21, 2014. In addition, IBM UK is a defendant in approximately 290 individual actions brought since early 2010 by participants of the defined benefits plans who left IBM UK. These actions, which allege constructive dismissal and age discrimination, are pending before the Employment Tribunal in Southampton UK.
In a separate but related proceeding, in March 2011, the Trustee of the IBM UK Trust was granted leave to initiate a claim before the High Court in London against IBM UK and one member of the UK Trust membership, seeking an order modifying certain documents and terms relating to retirement provisions in IBM UK’s largest defined benefit plan (the C Plan) dating back to 1983. The trial of these proceedings began in May 2012 and finished in early June. On October 12, 2012, the High Court in London issued its ruling, holding that the 1983 Trust Deeds and Rules should be modified to allow certain categories of current IBM UK employees who are members of the C Plan to retire from the age of 60 (rather than from the age of 63) without actuarial reduction of their defined benefit pension. In a supplementary ruling on December 13, 2012, the Court declined to similarly modify the Trust Deeds and Rules for former employees who were C Plan members and who left the company prior to retirement. On February 7, 2013, the Court issued an order agreed to by all parties, under which there will be no appeals of the October 2012 and December 2012 judgments. As a result of the October 2012 ruling, IBM recorded an additional pre-tax retirement-related obligation of $162 million in the third quarter of 2012.
On March 24, 2014, in a suit brought by local Works Councils, the Supreme Court of Spain held that IBM Spain’s Defined Contribution (DC) Plan implemented in 1993 was null and void, and held that current employees could reinstate their rights to a Defined Benefit (DB) Plan, although with an offset for DC contributions paid to date. The Court held that IBM Spain did not consult with the Works Councils in seeking the voluntary participation of employees in changing the pension scheme, and recommended that IBM Spain and the Works Councils engage in discussions over how to carry out the offset. The ruling is declaratory only and there have been no quantifications of, or suits for, individual remedies. IBM Spain has requested leave to appeal the decision to the Constitutional Court and has started discussions with the Works Councils.
In March 2011, the company announced that it had agreed to settle a civil enforcement action with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) relating to alleged violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977. On July 25, 2013, the court approved that 2011 settlement and required that for a two-year period IBM make reports to the SEC and the court on certain matters, including those relating to compliance with the FCPA. In early 2012, IBM notified the SEC of an investigation by the Polish Central Anti-Corruption Bureau involving allegations of illegal activity by a former IBM Poland employee in connection with sales to the Polish government. IBM is cooperating with the SEC and Polish authorities in this matter. In April 2013, IBM learned that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is also investigating allegations related to the Poland matter, as well as allegations relating to transactions in Argentina, Bangladesh and Ukraine. The DOJ is also seeking information regarding the company's global FCPA compliance program and its public sector business. The company is cooperating with the DOJ in this matter.
In May 2013, IBM learned that the SEC was conducting an investigation into how IBM reports cloud revenue. On May 30, 2014, the Division of Enforcement of the SEC informed IBM that it had concluded its investigation. IBM was notified that based on the information to date, the Division of Enforcement did not intend to recommend any enforcement action by the SEC against IBM.
In December 2013, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York related to the company's third-quarter 2013 financial results disclosure. On May 2, 2014, plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the suit without prejudice.
The company is a defendant in numerous actions filed after January 1, 2008 in the Supreme Court for the State of New York, county of Broome, on behalf of hundreds of plaintiffs. The complaints allege numerous and different causes of action, including for negligence and recklessness, private nuisance and trespass. Plaintiffs in these cases seek medical monitoring

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (continued)
and claim damages in unspecified amounts for a variety of personal injuries and property damages allegedly arising out of the presence of groundwater contamination and vapor intrusion of groundwater contaminants into certain structures in which plaintiffs reside or resided, or conducted business, allegedly resulting from the release of chemicals into the environment by the company at its former manufacturing and development facility in Endicott. These complaints also seek punitive damages in an unspecified amount.
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 authorities regarding non-income tax assessments and non-income tax litigation matters. The total potential amount related to these matters for all applicable years is approximately $710 million. The company believes it will prevail on these matters and that this amount is not a meaningful indicator of liability.
14. Commitments: The company’s extended lines of credit to third-party entities include unused amounts of $5,610 million and $5,028 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. A portion of these amounts was available to the company’s business partners to support their working capital needs. In addition, the company has committed to provide future financing to its clients in connection with client purchase agreements for approximately $1,759 million and $1,769 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
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 (IP) 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 typically indemnification provisions 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 was $43 million and $44 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The fair value of the guarantees recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position is not material.
Changes in the company’s warranty liability for standard warranties and deferred income for extended warranty contracts are presented in the following tables:

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. Certain financial results are adjusted based on a simple mathematical model that translates current period results 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 country currency. This information is provided so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of business performance. See “Currency Rate Fluctuations” on pages 75 and 76 for additional information.
Operating (non-GAAP) Earnings:
In an effort to provide better transparency into the operational results of the business, the company separates business results into operating and non-operating categories. Operating earnings is a non-GAAP measure that excludes the effects of certain acquisition-related charges and retirement-related costs, and their related tax impacts. For acquisitions, operating earnings exclude the amortization of purchased intangible assets and acquisition-related charges such as in-process research and development, transaction costs, applicable restructuring and related expenses and tax charges related to acquisition integration. For retirement-related costs, the company characterizes certain items as operating and others as non-operating. The company includes defined benefit plan and nonpension postretirement benefit plan service cost, amortization of prior service cost and the cost of defined contribution plans in operating earnings. Non-operating retirement-related cost includes defined benefit plan and nonpension postretirement benefit plan interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortized actuarial gains/losses, the impacts of any plan curtailments/settlements and multi-employer plan costs, pension insolvency costs and other costs. Non-operating costs are primarily related to changes in pension plan assets and liabilities which are tied to financial market performance and the company considers these costs to be outside the operational performance of the business.
46
Management Discussion – (continued)
Overall, the company believes that 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 the company’s pension plans; improves visibility to management decisions and their impacts on operational performance; enables better comparisons to peer companies; and allows the company to provide a long-term strategic view of the business going forward. For its 2015 road map, the company is utilizing an operating view to establish its objectives and track its progress. The company’s reportable segment financial results reflect operating earnings, consistent with the company’s management and measurement system.
The following table provides the company’s (non-GAAP) operating earnings for the second quarter of 2014 and 2013.

Financial Performance Summary:
In the second quarter of 2014, the company reported $24.4 billion in revenue and delivered diluted earnings per share of $4.12 as reported and $4.32 on an operating (non-GAAP) basis. The company generated $3.6 billion in cash from operations and $3.0 billion in free cash flow in the second quarter driving shareholder returns of $4.8 billion in gross common stock repurchases and dividends.
The company’s
performance in the second quarter and the first half of 2014 reflected the stability
of the overall business model as the company continued its transformation. From
a portfolio perspective:
· The company continued to drive double-digit revenue growth in the parts of the business that address the emerging trends in enterprise IT.
· The core franchises were stable, where the company continues to drive innovation.
· The company is dealing with secular shifts in parts of its hardware business.
· The divested customer care business has had an impact as the company shifts to higher value.
In the first quarter of
2014, the company announced a number of initiatives to support the shift to the
strategic imperatives of data, cloud and systems of engagement. These included:
· The launch of Bluemix, the company’s cloud platform-as-a-service for the enterprise.
· A $1.2 billion investment to globally expand SoftLayer cloud hubs.
·
A $1 billion investment to bring
Watson’s cognitive capabilities to the enterprise.
In the second quarter of 2014, the company made progress implementing these initiatives including:
· Bluemix becoming generally available in June.
· New SoftLayer data centers were opened.
· POWER8 began to ship, and the OpenPOWER consortium doubled its membership.
· Substantially completing the divestiture of the customer care business.
In July, the company announced additional actions to continue the shift to higher value, including:
· An investment of $3 billion over the next five years in research and early stage development to create the next generation of semiconductor chip technologies that will fuel the systems required for cloud, big data and cognitive systems.
47
Management Discussion – (continued)
· A strategic global partnership with Apple to provide a new level of business value from mobility for enterprise clients.
The underlying theme of these actions – from the expansion of the cloud platforms and capacity, to the OpenPOWER consortium, to the partnership with Apple for enterprise mobility, to next generation chip technologies – is that the company is leveraging its unique strengths in innovation and enterprise capabilities to maintain its differentiation in the emerging areas of enterprise IT. While some of these actions impact results in the short term, they position the business better for the long term.
In the second quarter, total consolidated revenue decreased 2.2 percent, 2.5 percent at constant currency. Adjusting for the divested customer care business, revenue decreased 1 percent at constant currency. From a segment perspective, Software revenue increased 1.0 percent (flat adjusted for currency), driven by middleware which increased 3.4 percent (3 percent adjusted for currency). The company is continuing to drive strong results in the strategic areas of mobile and security, as well as in some of the core franchises, including application servers and distributed databases. Global Services revenue declined 1.4 percent as reported and at constant currency; adjusting for the divested customer care business, Global Services revenue increased 1 percent at constant currency. Global Technology Services (GTS) revenue decreased 1.3 percent as reported and at constant currency; adjusting for the divested customer care business, GTS revenue increased 2 percent at constant currency from growth in cloud offerings and large outsourcing contracts signed in 2013. Global Business Services decreased 1.6 percent (2 percent adjusted for currency), with strong growth in the practices that address the digital front office, however performance in the traditional packaged application implementation offerings lagged. Systems and Technology revenue decreased 11.4 percent (12 percent adjusted for currency) but improved significantly sequentially compared to the first quarter of 2014 driven by System z mainframe, System x and Storage.
From a geographic perspective, revenue in the growth markets declined 6.8 percent as reported and 4 percent adjusted for currency, a 1 point sequential improvement from the first quarter at constant currency. Within the growth markets, the BRIC countries decreased 1.9 percent as reported, but increased 1 percent at constant currency; a 7 point improvement from the first quarter 2014.
The consolidated gross profit margin increased 0.5 points versus the second quarter of 2013 to 49.1 percent. The operating (non-GAAP) gross margin of 49.8 percent increased 0.1 points year to year. The improvement in gross margin was driven by margin expansion in Global Technology Services and an improved mix toward Software, partially offset by margin declines in Global Business Services and Systems and Technology. Operating (non-GAAP) gross profit of $12.1 billion declined approximately $250 million year to year driven entirely by Systems and Technology; excluding Systems and Technology, gross profit was flat year to year in the second quarter, including a $70 million impact from the divested customer care business, and while the company continues to transition to emerging areas where the profit and margins will benefit from scale.
Total expense and other (income) decreased 14.8 percent in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the prior year. Total operating (non-GAAP) expense and other (income) decreased 14.0 percent year to year. The year-to-year drivers were approximately:

charges. |
There was one significant item that had an impact on total expense and other (income) year to year. Workforce rebalancing charges in the second quarter of 2013 were $1.0 billion compared to $11 million in the current year. Adjusting for the workforce rebalancing charges, operating (non-GAAP) base expense would have improved by 5 points compared to the 17 point impact highlighted above. The 5 point improvement is a better indication of the productivity in the base expense. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2014 the company recorded a pre-tax gain of $121 million related to the divestiture of the customer care business. Within base expense, the company is continuing to shift its spending to drive the strategic

imperatives and differentiated offerings. The substantial investments being made in cloud, which includes Bluemix and new data centers, in Watson and in chip innovation are examples of this.
Pre-tax income increased 24.8 percent year to year and the pre-tax margin was 21.2 percent, an increase of 4.6 points versus the second quarter of 2013. Net income increased 28.2 percent and the net income margin was 17.0 percent, an increase of 4.0 points year to year. The effective tax rate for the second quarter was 20.0 percent, a decrease of 2.1 points year to year. Operating (non-GAAP) pre-tax income increased 18.3 percent year to year and the operating (non-GAAP) pre-tax margin was 22.3 percent, an increase of 3.9 points year to year. Operating (non-GAAP) net income increased 21.3 percent and the operating (non-GAAP) net income margin of 17.8 percent increased 3.5 points compared to the prior year. The operating (non-GAAP) effective tax rate was 20.0 percent versus 22.0 percent in the second quarter of 2013.The pre-tax income and net income margin improvements include the impact of the charge in the second quarter of 2013 of $1 billion for workforce rebalancing.
Diluted earnings per share of $4.12 increased 41.6 percent versus the prior year. Operating (non-GAAP) diluted earnings per share of $4.32 increased 34.2 percent versus the second quarter of 2013. In the second quarter, the company repurchased 16.6 million shares of its common stock.
The company generated $3,579 million in cash flow provided by operating activities, an increase of $405 million compared to the second quarter of 2013, driven primarily by lower uses of cash for receivables and lower cash tax payments. Net cash used in investing activities of $1,000 million increased $137 million compared to the prior year, primarily due to lower proceeds received from net sales of short-term marketable securities. Net cash used in financing activities of $2,260 million decreased $1,067 million compared to the prior year, primarily due to higher net cash proceeds from total debt.
In July 2014, the company stated that it is expecting GAAP earnings per share of at least $17.00 and operating (non-GAAP) earnings of at least $18.00 per diluted share for the full year 2014. The company has also stated that its earnings per share expectation does not include the expected gain from the divestiture of its System x server business to Lenovo due to the uncertainty of the timing and the amount. The gain will ultimately be reflected in the company’s results, and the company will provide an update later in the year.

Financial Performance Summary:
In the first six months of 2014, the company reported revenue of $46.8 billion, expanded margins and delivered diluted earnings per share of $6.37 as reported and $6.82 on an operating (non-GAAP) basis while shifting investment to key areas. The company generated $6.9 billion in cash from operations and $3.6 billion in free cash flow in the first six months of 2014 driving shareholder returns of $13.9 billion in gross common stock repurchases and dividends.
Total consolidated revenue decreased 3.1 percent (2 percent adjusted for currency) compared to the first six months of 2013. Adjusting for the divested customer care business, revenue decreased 1 percent at constant currency. The company has a set of offerings that address the strategic areas of data, cloud and the way clients are engaging with their customers. The company’s business model is to deliver double-digit revenue growth for these areas – with high software content. Results in the first half of 2014 were consistent with that part of the model. Business analytics revenue increased 7 percent on a large base, and cloud revenue was up over 50 percent, with the “delivered as a service” business doubling again. Security revenue increased over 20 percent, and mobile revenue more than doubled year to year. Combined, revenue in the strategic imperatives was up double-digits, with approximately half of the content in software. The company also continues to innovate in its core franchises. These include the longer term services business, the recurring software business and the mainframe business with its large capacity clients. The model for the core franchises is stable revenue, and the first half of 2014 results reflect that the company is on track. In the transactional businesses that are shifting to higher value, the portfolio is continuing to evolve – the company is investing in capabilities in some areas, while divesting businesses that do not

support the shift to higher value. In the first half of 2014, the company substantially completed the divestiture of the customer care business – and announced the sale of its industry standard x86 server business to Lenovo. These transactions impact the company’s revenue performance, but position the business for the long term.
The company continues to drive these shifts. For example, in the first half of the year:
· Bluemix went live, new SoftLayer cloud hubs were added and investment is being ramped up to commercialize Watson.
· POWER8 was introduced for big data and cloud at the entry level and the OpenPOWER consortium doubled its membership.
·
The company committed
$3 billion in spending over the next five years to drive chip innovation, while
launching a global new partnership with Apple to extend the company’s position
in the enterprise mobile space.
From a segment perspective, Software revenue increased 1.3 percent (1 percent adjusted for currency) year to year driven by middleware which increased 3.3 percent (3 percent adjusted for currency). Global Services revenue declined 1.7 percent (1 percent adjusted for currency). Adjusted for the divested customer care business, Global Services revenue increased 1 percent at constant currency. Global Technology Services (GTS) declined 2.1 percent (1 percent adjusted for currency); adjusting for the divested customer care business, GTS revenue increased 2 percent at constant currency. Global Business Services revenue decreased 0.8 percent as reported, flat adjusted for currency. Systems and Technology revenue decreased 16.6 percent (17 percent adjusted for currency) from a combination of secular and cyclical challenges in the hardware business. System z mainframe revenue decreased 16.4 percent (17 percent adjusted for currency). Global Financing revenue increased 3.1 percent (5 percent adjusted for currency). On a geographic basis, revenue in the growth markets declined 8.7 percent (5 percent adjusted for currency) and the major markets declined 0.9 percent (1 percent adjusted for currency).
The consolidated gross margin increased 0.9 points versus the first six months of 2013 to 48.1 percent. The operating (non-GAAP) gross margin increased 0.5 points to 48.7 percent compared to the prior year. The improvement in gross margin in the first six months was driven by margin improvement in GTS and an improved mix toward Software, partially offset by a margin decline in Systems and Technology.
Total expense and other (income) decreased 4.6 percent in the first six months of 2014 compared to the prior year. Total operating (non-GAAP) expense and other (income) decreased 3.8 percent compared to the first six months of 2013. The key drivers of the year-to-year change in total expense and other (income) were approximately:

There were two significant items that had an impact on total expense and other (income) year to year. Workforce rebalancing charges for the first six months of 2014 were $883 million compared to $1,030 million in the prior year. In addition, the company recorded a pre-tax gain of $219 million in the first half of 2014 related to the divestiture of the customer care outsourcing business.
Pre-tax income grew 5.2 percent year to year and the pre-tax margin was 17.4 percent, an increase of 1.4 points year to year. Net income increased 4.2 percent and the net income margin was 13.9 percent, an increase of 1.0 points year to year. The effective tax rate for the first six months was 20.0 percent, compared with 19.2 percent in the prior year. Operating (non-GAAP) pre-tax income increased 0.7 percent year to year and the operating (non-GAAP) pre-tax margin expanded 0.7 points to 18.6 percent versus the prior year. Operating (non-GAAP) net income increased 0.4 percent and the operating (non-GAAP) net income margin of 14.9 percent increased 0.5 points.The operating (non-GAAP) effective tax rate for the first six months was 20.0 percent versus 19.8 percent in 2013.

Management Discussion – (continued)
Diluted earnings per share of $6.37 increased 13.8 percent compared to the prior year. Operating (non-GAAP) diluted earnings per share of $6.82 increased 9.5 percent year to year in the first six months. In the first six months of 2014, the company repurchased 61.8 million shares of its common stock.
At June 30, 2014, the company’s balance sheet and liquidity position remained strong and well positioned to support the business over the long term. Cash and marketable securities at quarter end were $9,721 million, a decrease of $1,345 million from December 31, 2013. Key drivers in the balance sheet and total cash flows are:
Total assets decreased $1,909 million ($2,470 million adjusted for currency) from December 31, 2013 driven by:
· Decreases in total receivables ($2,375 million) and cash and cash equivalents ($1,000 million); partially offset by
· Increased prepaid pension assets ($1,343 million).
Total liabilities increased $3,507 million ($3,203 million adjusted for currency) from December 31, 2013 driven by:
· Increases in total debt ($6,752 million); partially offset by
· Decreases in taxes payable ($2,298 million) and accounts payable ($1,191 million).
Total equity of $17,513 million decreased $5,417 million from December 31, 2013 as a result of:
· Increased treasury stock ($11,659 million) driven by share repurchases; partially offset by
· Higher retained earnings ($4,441 million), decreased losses in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) ($1,232 million) and higher common stock ($570 million).
The company generated $6,905 million in cash flow provided by operating activities, a decrease of $292 million compared to the first six months of 2013, driven primarily by a higher level of cash tax payments ($1,188 million), partially offset by increased cash provided by receivables ($955 million). Net cash used in investing activities of $965 million was $911 million lower than the first six months of 2013, primarily due to an increase in cash provided by net sales of marketable securities and other instruments ($782 million). Net cash used in financing activities of $6,933 million increased $890 million compared to the prior year, driven primarily by increased cash used for gross common stock purchases ($5,683 million), partially offset by higher net cash proceeds from total debt ($5,139 million).

Global Technology Services revenue of $9,414 million decreased 1.3 percent (1 percent adjusted for currency) in the second quarter of 2014. Normalizing for the divestiture of the customer care business, revenue increased 2.0 percent (2 percent adjusted for currency). GTS revenue decreased 2.1 percent (1 percent adjusted for currency) to $18,744 million in the first six months of 2014. However, adjusted for the divestiture, it increased 0.7 percent (2 percent adjusted for currency). Within GTS, the Softlayer platform contributed about 1 point of constant currency growth in the quarter. The company is expanding its global cloud footprint, opening a datacenter in Hong Kong during the second quarter, followed by another in London in July. Additional capacity will be brought on during the second half of this year. GTS Outsourcing, one of the company’s core franchises, continued to show improvement. Normalizing for the customer care divestiture, revenue for the quarter increased 2.0 percent (2 percent adjusted for currency) compared to the prior year and grew on a constant currency basis for the second consecutive quarter. The revenue growth was driven by the new contracts brought on during 2013.
Global Business Services revenue of $4,534 million decreased 1.6 percent (2 percent adjusted for currency) in the second quarter of 2014 and decreased 0.8 percent (flat adjusted for currency) for the first six months of the year. Consulting and Systems Integration (C&SI) revenue grew 0.6 percent (flat adjusted for currency) in the second quarter. There was strong double digit growth in the practices that address the digital front office, particularly in cloud, analytics and mobile. This was offset by declines in traditional packaged application implementations. As the Digital Front Office offerings become a larger part of the portfolio, they will contribute more meaningfully to revenue performance. In July, the company announced a strategic partnership with Apple to deliver a new class of “enterprise ready” MobileFirst business applications for iOS. With this partnership, the company’s consultants and other client-facing specialists will help expand mobile device productivity, enabling Big Data and analytics at the point of contact. Consistent with last quarter’s performance, Application Outsourcing revenue decreased 9.0 percent (9 percent adjusted for currency) in the second quarter. Performance continues to reflect pricing pressure and client contract renegotiations, as well as a reduction in elective projects.

GTS gross profit margin improved 0.6 points and 0.9 points in the second quarter and first six months of 2014, respectively. In the second quarter, pre-tax income increased 22.2 percent to $1,850 million and the pre-tax margin expanded 3.7 points to 19.2 percent compared to the prior year. The improvement in profit was driven by several factors. First, the company continues to make investments in key growth areas such as mobile, security and cloud. These investments result in a differentiated set of capabilities that complement clients’ system of record and are a good example of how the company continues to evolve its core franchises. Second, the results reflect a pre-tax gain of $121 million related to the customer care divestiture, partially offset by the profit lost from the divested business. Third, the benefit from prior workforce rebalancing actions, and fourth, the prior year second quarter results included a workforce rebalancing charge of $352 million. In the first six months of 2014, pre-tax income increased 3.1 percent to $3,196 million and pre-tax margin expanded 0.9 points to 16.6 percent compared to the prior year.
GBS gross profit margin decreased 1.2 points in the second quarter, but increased 0.1 points for the first six months of 2014 compared to the prior year. Pre-tax income increased 33.7 percent to $832 million and the pre-tax margin expanded 4.8 points to 17.8 percent in the second quarter. Second quarter profit reflects both the year-to-year benefit ($231 million) in workforce rebalancing charges and the impact of lower revenue on a relatively fixed cost base. In the first six months of 2014, pre-tax income increased 10.2 percent to $1,461 million and pre-tax margin expanded 1.7 points to 15.7 percent compared to the prior year.
Global Services Backlog
The estimated Global Services backlog at June 30, 2014 was $136 billion, a decrease of 3.2 percent (5 percent adjusted for currency) compared to the June 30, 2013 balance.

Adjusting for the divestiture, backlog was down 0.5 percent (3 percent adjusted for currency) year to year. The estimated transactional backlog at June 30, 2014 increased 3.1 percent (1 percent adjusted for currency) from the June 30, 2013 levels. The estimated outsourcing backlog decreased 6.3 percent (8 percent adjusted for currency) including the backlog reduction from the customer care divestiture. Adjusting for the divestiture, the estimated outsourcing backlog decreased 2.1 percent (4 percent adjusted for currency) compared to the June 30, 2013 balance.

Total Global Services backlog includes GTS Outsourcing, ITS, GBS Outsourcing, Consulting and Systems Integration and Maintenance. Outsourcing backlog includes GTS Outsourcing and GBS Outsourcing. Transactional backlog includes ITS and Consulting and Systems Integration. Total backlog is intended to be a statement of overall work under contract and therefore does include Maintenance. Backlog estimates are subject to change and are affected by several factors, including terminations, changes in the scope of contracts, periodic revalidations, adjustments for revenue not materialized and adjustments for currency.
Global Services signings are management’s initial estimate of the value of a client’s commitment under a Global Services contract. There are no third-party standards or requirements governing the calculation of signings. The calculation used 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.
Signings include GTS Outsourcing, ITS, GBS Outsourcing and Consulting and Systems Integration contracts. Contract extensions and increases in scope are treated as signings only to the extent of the incremental new value. Maintenance is not included in signings as maintenance contracts tend to be more steady state, where revenues equal renewals.
Contract portfolios purchased in an acquisition are treated as positive backlog adjustments provided those contracts meet the company’s requirements for initial signings. A new signing will be recognized if a new services agreement is signed incidental or coincidental to an acquisition or divestiture.

Software revenue of $6,488 million increased 1.0 percent (flat adjusted for currency) in the second quarter and increased 1.3 percent (1 percent adjusted for currency) to $12,149 million in the first six months of 2014, respectively. In the second quarter, middleware grew 3.4 percent (3 percent adjusted for currency) while operating systems were down 12.5 percent (13 percent adjusted for currency). Across the software brands, Software-as-a Service (SaaS) offerings are growing rapidly and in the second quarter increased by approximately 40 percent on a year-to-year basis.
Key branded middleware revenue, which accounted for 67 percent of total Software revenue in the second quarter of 2014, increased 0.5 percent (flat adjusted for currency) compared to a strong quarter in the prior year. There was good growth in several strategic areas – cloud, big data and analytics, mobile and security. In the first six months of 2014, key branded middleware grew 2.2 percent (2 percent adjusted for currency) and accounted for 66 percent of total Software revenue.
WebSphere revenue increased 5.5 percent (5 percent adjusted for currency) and 8.4 percent (8 percent adjusted for currency) in the second quarter and first six months of 2014 year to year, respectively. The performance in the second quarter was led by application server, commerce and mobile solutions. Both on-premise and SaaS offerings contributed to WebSphere growth, with the majority of this growth coming from on-premise solutions. The application server business delivered strong growth, with an increase in demand for on-premise software that was driven by mobile and analytics workloads. Strong growth continues in MobileFirst, leveraging over 5,000 mobile experts and the company’s expanding capabilities. Supporting the partnership with Apple, the Software Group will develop unique enterprise cloud services native for iOS, to deliver the full enterprise-class mobile experience from analytics, to cloud storage and data security.
Information Management revenue decreased 1.1 percent (2 percent adjusted for currency) in the second quarter and was flat, both as reported and on a constant currency basis, in the first six months of 2014 compared to the prior year. In the second quarter, relational database continued to grow, although some product areas in the brand were faced with tough

comparisons to strong performance in the prior year.
Tivoli revenue increased 3.6 percent (3 percent adjusted for currency) in the second quarter and 4.9 percent (4 percent adjusted for currency) in the first six months of 2014 compared to the prior year periods. Revenue growth in the quarter was driven by security software, marking its eleventh consecutive quarter of growth with most of those quarters increasing by double digits. That includes every quarter since the company acquired Q1Labs and built a security division around that acquisition, supplemented by additional analytics capabilities.
Workforce Solutions revenue decreased 7.1 percent (8 percent adjusted for currency) in the second quarter and 5.9 percent (6 percent adjusted for currency) in the first six months of 2014 year to year, respectively. Performance in both periods has been impacted by the transition from on-premise Notes to SaaS offerings.
Rational revenue decreased 9.3 percent (10 percent adjusted for currency) year to year in the second quarter and decreased 4.8 percent (5 percent adjusted for currency) in the six months of 2014.
Across software, the company is transitioning its portfolio to capture growth areas and continues to drive innovation in its core franchises. It is growing and building capabilities in emerging areas like SaaS, mobile and security and also in more traditional areas such as application server and relational database, as new growth areas drive the need for on-premise capabilities. In the second quarter the Software business faced a tough comparison to strong performance in the prior year. The company expects year-to-year revenue growth to accelerate in the second half of the year.

Systems and Technology (STG) revenue decreased 11.4 percent (12 percent adjusted for currency) and 16.6 percent (17 percent adjusted for currency) in the second quarter and first six months of 2014, respectively, versus the same periods in 2013. The second quarter year-to-year revenue performance improved compared to the first quarter rate and was driven by System z mainframe, as well as sequential improvements in System x and Storage. The improved revenue performance, together with actions taken to align the structure of the business to the demand profile, resulted in progress in stabilizing profit.
System z revenue decreased 0.9 percent (1 percent adjusted for currency) and 16.4 percent (17 percent adjusted for currency) in the second quarter and first six months of 2014, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. MIPS (millions of instructions per second) shipments were flat year to year in the second quarter of 2014 and down 8 percent in the first six months of the year. The second quarter results, which included some large deals in the financial sector in China, the United States and Brazil, reflect significant performance in the seventh quarter of the product cycle since announcement. Comparing the current mainframe cycle to date with the prior cycle, the company has shipped 25 percent more MIPS, and the revenue and gross profit are each about 98 percent of the previous cycle, net of currency. The System z platform is one of the company’s core franchises, benefitting from IT trends. The value proposition for System z becomes stronger as the scale of data and transactions grow, as well as the need for security of that data and those transactions.
Power Systems revenue decreased 28.3 percent (29 percent adjusted for currency) and 25.4 percent (25 percent adjusted for currency) in the second quarter and first six months of 2014, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. This performance reflects fundamental changes in the business and the company has taken actions to align its structure to the demand profile, while investing to address opportunities for the future. In June 2014, entry-level POWER8 was launched and had a good start compared to previous cycles. The entry-level is only a small portion of the Power business and, over the remainder of the year, POWER8 will be introduced into the mid-range and high-end segments. Also during the second quarter, the company expanded its OpenPOWER consortium and doubled the number of alliance members. At the end of June, the company had a globally diverse membership, with 36 members across ten countries, throughout the stack from chip designers, to hardware component OEMs, to system vendors and to middleware and software providers. Within the alliance, members have access to high end technology, as the Power architecture is available for open development and to integrate new designs into their hardware platforms.
System x revenue decreased 3.1 percent (3 percent adjusted for currency) and 10.4 percent (10 percent adjusted for currency) in the second quarter and first six months of 2014, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. While second
60

quarter revenue was down on a year-to-year basis, there was improvement in the rate compared to the first quarter of 2014 when revenue was down 18 percent versus the prior year.
Storage revenue decreased 12.3 percent (13 percent adjusted for currency) and 17.1 percent (17 percent adjusted for currency) in the second quarter and first six months of 2014, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The second quarter year-to-year rate was a sequential improvement compared to the 23 percent decrease in the first quarter of this year. The second quarter included strong growth in Flash Systems, as revenue doubled over last year, and in the Storwize portfolio which was up double digits compared to the prior year. However, this growth was more than offset by weakness in high-end disk and the continued wind-down of the OEM business. There were a number of product launches in the second quarter including the V7000 update to the Storwize portfolio and flash-enabled DS8K.
Microelectronics OEM revenue decreased 17.6 percent (18 percent adjusted for currency) and 16.8 percent (17 percent adjusted for currency) in the second quarter and first six months of 2014 versus the comparable periods of 2013, respectively.

Systems and Technology’s gross profit margin decreased 2.8 points in the second quarter of 2014 versus the prior year. The decrease was driven by lower margins in Power Systems (1.1 points), Storage (0.9 points), Microelectronics (0.8 points) and System x (0.8 points), partially offset by an improvement due to revenue mix (0.4 points). Gross profit margin for the first six months of 2014 decreased 3.7 points compared to the first six months of 2013. The decrease was driven by lower margins in Power Systems (1.3 points), Microelectronics (1.0 points) and Storage (0.9 points), and a decline due to revenue mix (0.7 points).
Systems and Technology’s pre-tax income increased $166 million to $25 million in the second quarter and its pre-tax loss increased $89 million to $635 million for the first six months of 2014 compared to prior year periods. Pre-tax margin increased 4.3 points in the second quarter and decreased 2.8 points in the first six months versus the prior year periods. Second-quarter performance reflects a year-to-year reduction in workforce rebalancing charges of $202 million.
The company’s focus for STG in 2014 is to stabilize the profit base and, after the first half of the year, the company is on track. The company will continue to make investments in this business to remain a leader in high-performance, high-end systems. In July, the company announced it will invest $3 billion over the next five years to tackle the challenges of the “post-silicon” era, demonstrating its commitment to innovation and to leading in the new era of enterprise IT.

Total geographic revenue of $23,931 million decreased 1.9 percent (2 percent adjusted for currency) in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the prior year. In total, major market countries decreased 0.3 percent (1 percent adjusted for currency) and growth market countries decreased 6.8 percent (4 percent adjusted for currency) in the second quarter of 2014.
In the growth markets, on a constant currency basis, revenue grew at a double-digit rate in Latin America, while the Asia Pacific countries declined at a double-digit rate. China showed significant improvement compared to the last three quarters, although the balance of the Asia Pacific growth markets remains challenged. Within the BRIC countries of Brazil, Russia, India and China, combined revenue decreased 1.9 percent, but increased 1 percent on a constant currency basis in the second quarter. This constant currency growth rate represents a 7 point sequential improvement from the first quarter rate. It was driven by Brazil, India and China, with each country up between 9 and 10 points quarter to quarter on a constant currency basis. In the second quarter, Brazil grew 16.9 percent (22 percent adjusted for currency) driven by large deals in the financial sector. India decreased 4.1 percent as reported, but grew 3 percent adjusted for currency. China decreased 11.2 percent (11 percent adjusted for currency) effectively halving the rate of decline from the past three quarters.

Total Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense decreased 16.1 percent (16 percent adjusted for currency) in the second quarter of 2014 versus the second quarter of 2013. The decrease was primarily driven by lower base expense (18 points), partially offset by acquisition-related spending (2 points). Operating (non-GAAP) SG&A expense decreased 15.7 percent (16 percent adjusted for currency) primarily driven by lower base expense (17 points), partially offset by acquisition-related spending (2 points). Base expense includes workforce rebalancing charges in the second quarter of 2013 of $1,011 million. Normalized for the workforce rebalancing charges, operating (non-GAAP) SG&A base expense decreased 2 points year to year compared to the 17 point decrease above. Bad debt expense increased $43 million year to year driven by specific provision additions.
SG&A expense decreased 3.0 percent (2 percent adjusted for currency) in the first six months of 2014 versus the first six months of 2013. The decrease was primarily driven by lower base expense (4 points) and the effects of currency (1 point), partially offset by acquisition-related spending (2 points). Operating (non-GAAP) SG&A expense decreased 2.5 percent (2 percent adjusted for currency) primarily driven by lower base expense (3 points) and the effects of currency (1 point), partially offset by acquisition-related spending (2 points). Workforce rebalancing charges in the first six months of 2014 were $883 million, a decrease of $147 million year to year, which resulted in a 1 point year-to-year improvement in the operating (non-GAAP) SG&A base performance. Normalized for the workforce rebalancing charges in both six-month periods, operating (non-GAAP) SG&A base expense decreased 2 points year to year compared to the 3 point decrease above. Bad debt expense increased $75 million year to year driven by specific provision additions. The receivables provision coverage

Other (income) and expense was income of $201 million and $91 million in the second quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in income of $110 million year over year was primarily driven by the gain associated with the divestiture of the customer care business ($121 million) reflected in Other in the table above.
Other (income) and expense was income of $326 million and $151 million in the first six months of 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in income of $175 million year over year was primarily driven by the gain associated with the divestiture of the customer care business ($219 million) in the first six months of 2014 reflected in Other in the table above.

Management Discussion – (continued)
The increase in interest expense for the second quarter and first six months of 2014 versus the same periods of 2013 was primarily driven by higher average debt levels, partially offset by lower average interest rates. Interest expense is presented in cost of financing in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings only if the related external borrowings are to support the Global Financing external business. See page 82 for additional information regarding Global Financing debt and interest expense. Overall interest expense (excluding capitalized interest) for the second quarter and first six months of 2014 was $259 million and $519 million, respectively, an increase of $11 million and $28 million, respectively, year to year.

In the second quarter, total retirement-related plans cost decreased by $238 million compared to the second quarter of 2013, primarily driven by a decrease in recognized actuarial losses ($224 million) and higher expected return on plan assets ($70 million), partially offset by higher interest cost ($85 million). Total cost for the first six months of 2014 decreased $451 million versus the first six months of 2013, primarily driven by a decrease in recognized actuarial losses ($462 million) and higher expected return on plan assets ($116 million), partially offset by higher interest cost ($155 million).

Management Discussion – (continued)
As discussed in the “Snapshot” on page 46, the company characterizes certain retirement-related costs as operating and others as non-operating. Utilizing this characterization, operating retirement-related costs in the second quarter were $416 million, a decrease of $28 million compared to the second quarter of 2013, primarily driven by lower defined contribution plans cost ($22 million). Non-operating costs of $52 million decreased $210 million in the second quarter compared to the prior year driven primarily by a decrease in recognized actuarial losses ($224 million) and higher expected return on plan assets ($70 million), partially offset by higher interest cost ($85 million). For the first six months of 2014, operating retirement-related costs were $834 million, a decrease of $80 million compared to the first six months of 2013, primarily driven by lower defined contribution plans cost ($56 million) and lower service cost ($23 million). Non-operating costs of $175 million decreased $371 million in the first six months of 2014 compared to the prior year driven primarily by a decrease in recognized actuarial losses ($462 million) and higher expected return on plan assets ($116 million), partially offset by higher interest cost ($155 million).
See note 8, "Retirement-Related Benefits," for additional plan cost detail.
Taxes
The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2014 was 20.0 percent compared to an effective tax rate of 22.1 percent for the second quarter of 2013. The effective tax rates for the first six months of 2014 and 2013 were 20.0 percent and 19.2 percent, respectively. The operating (non-GAAP) tax rate for the second quarter of 2014 was 20.0 percent compared to 22.0 percent for the second quarter of 2013. The operating (non-GAAP) tax rate for the first six months of 2014 was 20.0 percent compared to 19.8 percent for the first six months of 2013.
The decline in the second quarter tax rates compared to the prior year was primarily due to a more favorable mix of geographic income and an increase in the expected utilization of foreign tax credits, offset by the lack of the favorable tax agreement received in the second quarter of 2013 which required a reassessment of certain valuation allowances on deferred tax assets (approximately $288 million), partially offset by a tax charge related to intercompany licensing of certain intellectual property (approximately $177 million). The year-to-year increase in the tax rates for the first six months was driven by the aforementioned impacts in the second quarter and the lack of the first quarter 2013 benefits associated with the retroactive impact of the 2012 American Taxpayer Relief Act (approximately $135 million) and newly enacted state legislation (approximately $125 million).
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 2008. The company is no longer subject to income tax examination of its U.S. federal tax return for years prior to 2011. 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 and interest have been provided for any adjustments that are expected to result for these years.
The amount of unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2013 increased $93 million in the second quarter of 2014 and increased $118 million in the first six months of 2014 to $4,576 million. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate was $4,049 million at June 30, 2014.
In April 2010, the company appealed the determination of the Japan Tax Authorities with respect to certain foreign tax losses. The tax benefit of these losses, approximately $1,183 million, has been included in unrecognized tax benefits. In April 2011, the company received notification that the appeal had been denied, and in June 2011, the company filed a lawsuit challenging this decision. In May 2014, the Tokyo District Court ruled in favor of the company. The Japanese government has appealed this ruling to the Tokyo High Court. No final determination has been reached on this matter.
In the fourth quarter of 2013, the company received a draft tax assessment notice for approximately $866 million from the Indian Tax Authorities for 2009. Due to the impact of currency, the assessment is valued at $890 million at June 30, 2014. The company believes it will prevail on these matters and that this amount is not a meaningful indicator of liability. At June 30, 2014, the company has recorded $472 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 Indian tax authorities.
In the first quarter of 2014, the IRS commenced its audit of the company’s U.S. tax returns for 2011 and 2012. The company anticipates that this audit will be completed by the end of 2015.

The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding assuming dilution during the second quarter and first six months of 2014 were 104.3 million and 93.3 million shares lower, respectively, than the same periods in 2013, primarily as a result of the company’s common stock repurchase program.

Working capital decreased $5,446 million from the year-end 2013 position. The key changes are described below:
Current assets decreased $3,168 million (a decrease of $3,417 million adjusted for currency), due to:
· A decline of $1,759 million ($1,966 million adjusted for currency) in receivables primarily due to collections of higher year-end balances; and
· A decrease in cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $1,345 million.
Current liabilities increased $2,278 million ($2,085 million adjusted for currency), as a result of:
· An increase in short-term debt of $5,600 million ($5,581 million adjusted for currency) primarily driven by an increase in commercial paper and by reclasses from long-term debt to reflect upcoming maturities (see debt analysis on pages 72 and 73); partially offset by
· A decrease in taxes payable of $2,298 million ($2,314 million adjusted for currency) due primarily to tax payments in the U.S and Japan; and
· A decrease in accounts payable of $1,191 million ($1,213 million adjusted for currency) reflecting declines from typically higher year-end balances.

These assets, primarily for Global Services, generate long-term, stable revenue streams similar to the Global Financing asset portfolio. Based on their attributes, these Global Services assets are leveraged with the balance of the Global Financing asset base. The debt analysis above is further detailed in the Global Financing section on page 82.
Given the significant leverage, the company presents a debt-to-capitalization ratio which excludes Global Financing debt and equity as management believes this is more representative of the company’s core business operations. This ratio can vary from period to period as the company manages its global cash and debt positions.
“Core” debt-to-capitalization ratio (excluding Global Financing debt and equity) was 56.1 percent at June 30, 2014 compared to 39.0 percent at December 31, 2013 and 39.1 percent at June 30, 2013. Given the expected skew of the company’s cash from operations and free cash flow, the company expects its “core” debt-to-capitalization ratio to remain in the 50 percent range through the third quarter, and be approximately flat year to year at the end of 2014.
Consolidated debt-to-capitalization ratio at June 30, 2014 was 72.6 percent versus 63.4 percent at December 31, 2013 and 65.6 percent at June 30, 2013.
Equity
Total equity decreased by $5,417 million from December 31, 2013 as a result of an increase in treasury stock of $11,659 million primarily related to gross common stock repurchases in the first six months of 2014, partially offset by an increase in retained earnings of $4,441 million, a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive losses of $1,232 million and an increase in common stock of $570 million.
Looking Forward
The company measures the success of its business model over the long term, not any individual quarter or year. The company’s strategies, investments and actions are all taken with an objective of optimizing long-term performance. A long-term perspective ensures that the company is well-positioned to take advantage of major shifts occurring in technology, business and the global economy.
In May 2010, the company met with investors to describe how the company manages its business, allocates its capital and serves its shareholders in a detailed discussion of its strategy. The company discussed how it continuously changes its business mix and resource allocation toward higher value, higher growth market opportunities. The company also discussed its transformation to a globally integrated enterprise and how this has allowed the company to capture new growth and productivity. The company highlighted that by aligning its business model with its clients’ needs, the company can achieve its financial goals which will allow the company to invest in future sources of growth and provide strong returns to its shareholders. This delivers long-term value and performance to all key stakeholders. The execution of the company’s strategy results in the 2015 road map — with the expectation of at least $20 of operating (non-GAAP) earnings per share in 2015.
Within the IT industry, there are major shifts occurring – driven by data, cloud and changes in the way individuals are engaging. In the first half, the company had good performance in its offerings that address these shifts, including business analytics, cloud, mobile and security. As important, the company continues to take significant actions to move to these growth areas – examples include the targeted investments in SoftLayer capacity, the Bluemix launch, Watson, POWER8, chip innovation and the Apple partnership. The company is focused on allocating its capital efficiently and effectively – which means investing in the right places, as well as moving away from areas that do not support the company’s shift to higher value. This is an important part of the company’s model. Over the last few years, including the pending sale of the industry standard server business, the company has divested over $6 billion of revenue. The result is a stronger, more relevant business.
Looking forward in 2014, the company expects continued good performance in the key growth areas; however, overall revenue growth will be impacted by the challenges in the hardware business and the customer care divestiture. The customer care divestiture impacted consolidated revenue growth in the first half by approximately 1 point, and it is expected that the impact will be approximately 1-1.5 points for the balance of the year. In addition, the divestiture of the System x server business to Lenovo will impact revenue performance, although that impact cannot be determined due to the uncertainty of the timing of the transaction closing. The company’s gross margin will reflect the ongoing productivity initiatives and actions to improve the cost base – as well as the relative strength of software. As always, the company expects to reinvest a portion of the productivity savings to drive the growth areas. The company also expects to continue to return value to its shareholders.

Management Discussion – (continued)
In July 2014, the company disclosed that it is expecting GAAP earnings of at least $17.00 and operating (non-GAAP) earnings of at least $18.00 per diluted share for the full year 2014. The operating (non-GAAP) earnings per share expectation exclude acquisition-related charges of $0.72 per share and non-operating retirement-related costs of $0.28 per share. This expectation results in an increase year to year of 13.8 percent in GAAP earnings per share and an increase of 10.5 percent year to year in operating (non-GAAP) earnings per share, keeping the company on track to its 2015 objective. The company’s guidance for 2014 does not include any gain from the sale of its System x server business due to the uncertainty of the timing of the transaction and the amount of the gain. The gain and any other financial statement impacts will ultimately be reflected in the company’s results, and the company will provide an update later in the year. For the second half of 2014, the company expects operating (non-GAAP) earnings per share growth to be higher in the fourth quarter versus the third quarter, with an expectation of double-digit earnings per share growth in the fourth quarter and single-digit earnings per share growth in the third quarter. Single-digit operating (non-GAAP) earnings per share growth in the third quarter, due to seasonality, will translate to no more absolute operating (non-GAAP) earnings per share than what the company recorded in the second quarter of 2014. The company’s expectations for the second half of 2014 reflect the same profit mix toward the fourth quarter that it discussed in April 2014. The fourth quarter is expected to benefit from strong Software performance, the benefits of productivity which will help margins in Global Services and transactional benefits in the Systems and Technology business.
From a segment perspective, the Software business delivered increased revenue and profit in the first half, driven by key branded middleware. The company continues to see very good opportunity for its software solutions, and expects the revenue growth rate in Software to accelerate in the second half of 2014 to mid-single digits at constant currency. The Global Services business delivered constant currency revenue growth in the first half, adjusting for the divested customer care business. Pre-tax income increased modestly and the pre-tax margin expanded compared to the prior year. The company expects Global Services to deliver revenue growth for the rest of 2014 at rates similar to the first half, and overall, the company expects Global Services to deliver profit growth in the second half at a mid-single digit rate compared to the prior year driven by productivity in the base. Systems and Technology revenue declined 17 percent in the first half of 2014 reflecting both the cyclical and secular challenges that the company expects to continue. The company expects continued hardware revenue declines for the remainder of 2014. The company’s focus for the System and Technology business in 2014 is to stabilize the profit base on a year to year basis. The repositioning of the Power platform, the announcement of POWER8, new product announcements in Storage and the right-sizing of the business will all contribute to this objective. The company expects these actions, together with the divestiture of System x, will result in a smaller and more profitable hardware business going forward. The results in the first half indicate that the company is on track, and the company still expects profit stabilization on a full-year basis. The company will remain a leader in high-performance and high-end systems, in storage and in cognitive computing, and the company will continue to invest in R&D for advanced semiconductor technology.
In the growth markets, overall, the constant currency revenue growth rate improved modestly in the second quarter compared to the first quarter. Performance in the second quarter was driven by the sequential improvements in Brazil, India and China. Looking forward, the company expects sequential improvement in the growth markets and continued improvement in sequential performance in China. Outside of China, the company does not expect a material change in the trajectory in the rest of the Asia Pacific growth markets. Latin America had a strong second quarter driven by Brazil. The company expects continued good performance in Latin America in the second half, though it will face a tough compare to a strong second half of 2013. In addition, when the sale of the industry standard server business closes, that will be a headwind to growth for total company revenue and in the emerging markets. The company still sees good opportunity in the growth markets and continues to invest in these key markets to capture that opportunity.
The company’s free cash flow performance in the first half of 2014 compared to the prior year was significantly impacted by cash tax payments. Historically, the company’s free cash flow generation is skewed to the back end of the year. The company expects free cash flow in 2014 to increase by approximately $1 billion year to year to $16 billion, including the impacts of cash tax payments. Overall, cash tax payments are expected to be a year-to-year headwind in 2014 of about $2 billion, with the majority of that impact having occurred in the first quarter.
In the first half of 2014, as part of its common stock repurchase program, the company repurchased 61.8 million shares of its common stock expending approximately $11.8 billion in the period. For the full year 2014, the company expects total share repurchase to be about the same or slightly less than the 2013 amount of $13.9 billion. The company will continue to return capital to its shareholders for the rest of 2014; however, it will be at a reduced rate relative to the first half.
The company expects, in the normal course of business, that its effective tax rate and operating (non-GAAP) tax rate will be approximately 20 percent in 2014. The rate will change year to year based on nonrecurring events, such as the settlement
74
Management Discussion – (continued)
of income tax audits, changes in tax laws and divestitures, as well as recurring factors including the geographic mix of income before taxes, the timing and amount of foreign dividend repatriation, state and local taxes and the effects of various global income tax strategies.
The company expects 2014 pre-tax retirement-related plan cost to be approximately $2.1 billion, a decrease of approximately $800 million compared to 2013. This estimate reflects current pension plan assumptions at December 31, 2013. Within total retirement-related plan cost, operating retirement-related plan cost is expected to be approximately $1.7 billion, a decrease of approximately $100 million versus 2013. Non-operating retirement-related plan cost is expected to be approximately $350 million, a decrease of approximately $700 million compared to 2013, driven by less recognized actuarial losses. Cash disbursements for all retirement-related plans are expected to be approximately $2.8 billion in 2014, an increase of approximately $100 million compared to 2013.
Currency Rate Fluctuations
Changes in the relative values of non-U.S.
currencies to the U.S. dollar affect the company’s financial results and
financial position. At June 30, 2014, currency changes resulted in assets and liabilities
denominated in local currencies being translated into more dollars than at
year-end 2013. The company uses financial hedging instruments to limit specific
currency risks related to financing transactions and other foreign
currency-based transactions. Further discussion of currency and hedging appears
in the company’s 2013 Annual Report in note D, “Financial Instruments –
Derivative Financial Instruments,” on pages 102 to 106.
Foreign currency
fluctuations often drive operational responses that mitigate the simple
mechanical translation of earnings. During periods of sustained movements in
currency, the marketplace and competition adjust to the changing rates. For
example, when pricing offerings in the marketplace, the company may use some of
the advantage from a weakening U.S. dollar to improve its position
competitively, and price more aggressively to win the business, essentially
passing on a portion of the currency advantage to its customers. Competition
will frequently take the same action. Consequently, the company believes that
some of the currency-based changes in cost impact the prices charged to
clients. The company also maintains currency hedging programs for cash
management purposes which mitigate, but do not eliminate, the volatility of
currency impacts on the company’s financial results.
The company translates revenue, cost and expense in its non-U.S.
operations at current exchange rates in the reported period. References to
“adjusted for currency” or “constant currency” reflect adjustments based upon a
simple constant currency mathematical translation of local currency results
using the comparable prior period’s currency conversion rate. However, this
constant currency methodology that the company utilizes to disclose this
information does not incorporate any operational actions that management may
take in reaction to fluctuating currency rates. Currency movements impacted the
company’s year-to-year revenue and earnings per share growth in the first six
months of 2014. Based on the currency rate movements in the first six months of
2014, total revenue decreased 3.1 percent as reported and decreased 2.4 percent
at constant currency versus the first six months of 2013. On a pre-tax income
basis, these translation impacts offset by the net impact of hedging activities
resulted in a theoretical maximum (assuming no pricing or sourcing actions)
decrease of approximately $30 million in the first half of 2014. The same
mathematical exercise resulted in a decrease of approximately $170 million in
the first half of 2013. The company views these amounts as a theoretical
maximum impact to its as-reported financial 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, but the company believes it could be
substantially less than the theoretical maximum
given the competitive pressure in the marketplace.
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, the company manages currency risk in these entities by linking prices and contracts to U.S. dollars.
The company continues to monitor the economic conditions in Venezuela. On December 30, 2010, the official rate for essential goods was eliminated, with no change to the SITME rate. In February 2013, the SITME rate was eliminated, and the official rate was set at 6.3 bolivars fuerte (BsF) to the U.S. dollar. In March 2013, the Venezuelan government created a new foreign exchange mechanism called the “Complimentary System of Foreign Currency Acquirement” (or the “SICAD 1”). This system operates similar to an auction system and allows entities in specific sectors to bid for U.S. dollars to be used for specific import transactions. In December 2013, the Venezuelan government published the SICAD 1 rate implied by the transactions settled in these auctions, and issued Exchange Agreement No. 24 which clarified the use of the SICAD 1 mechanism. In January 2014, the government issued Exchange Agreement No. 25, and significantly expanded the transactions that qualify for use of SICAD 1 and stated that a new agency called the National Center of Foreign Commerce
75
Management Discussion – (continued)
(CENCOEX) would assume the role of CADIVI, which historically controlled the sale and purchase of foreign currency in Venezuela. In February 2014, the Venezuelan government signed into law a plan to open a new exchange control mechanism (“SICAD 2”), and indicated that the official rate of 6.3 BsF per USD would increasingly be reserved for the settlement of USD denominated obligations related to purchases of “essential goods and services.” In March 2014, the Venezuelan government published operating rules for SICAD 2 in Exchange Agreement No. 27. SICAD 2 began operating on March 24, 2014. In March 2014, the company adopted the SICAD 1 rate of 10.7 BsF per USD. The SICAD 1 rate is more representative of the exchange rate that will be used for the periodic auctions in SICAD 1 for many of the goods and services sold by the company’s Venezuelan operations. In the first quarter of 2014, the company recorded a pre-tax loss of $31 million as a result of the devaluation in Other (income) and expense in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. At June 30, 2014, the company’s net asset position in Venezuela was $38 million. The company’s operations in Venezuela comprised less than 1 percent of total 2013 and 2012 revenue, respectively.
In January 2014, the Argentinian government devalued its currency from 6 pesos to the U.S. dollar to 8 pesos to the U.S. dollar. This devaluation did not have a material impact given the size of the company’s operations in Argentina (less than 1 percent of total 2013 revenue).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In the company’s 2013 Annual Report, on pages 65 to 67, there is a discussion of the company’s liquidity including two tables that present five years of data. The table presented on page 65 includes net cash from operating activities, cash and marketable securities and the size of the company’s global credit facilities for each of the past five years. For the six months ended, or as of, as applicable, June 30, 2014, those amounts are $6.9 billion for net cash from operating activities, $9.7 billion of cash and marketable securities and $10 billion in global credit facilities, respectively. In 2013, the term of the five-year global credit facility was extended by one year, and now expires on November 10, 2018. Refer to the 2013 Annual Report on page 114 for additional information.
The major rating agencies’ ratings on the company’s debt securities at June 30, 2014 appear in the table below. The agency ratings remain unchanged from December 31, 2013. The company does not have “ratings trigger” provisions in its 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. The company’s contractual agreements governing derivative instruments contain standard market clauses which can trigger the termination of the agreement if the company’s credit rating were to fall below investment grade. At June 30, 2014, the fair value of those instruments that were in a liability position was $341 million, before any applicable netting, and this position is subject to fluctuations in fair value period to period based on the level of the company’s outstanding instruments and market conditions. The company has no other contractual arrangements that, in the event of a change in credit rating, would result in a material adverse effect on its financial position or liquidity.

The table appearing on page 66 of the company’s 2013 Annual Report presents the format in which management reviews cash flows for each of the past five years and is accompanied by a description of the way cash flow is managed, measured and reviewed. The company prepares its Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in accordance with applicable accounting standards for cash flow presentation on page 7 of this Form 10-Q and highlights causes and events underlying sources and uses of cash in that format on pages 71 and 72. The following is management’s view of cash flows for the first six months of 2014 and 2013 prepared in a manner consistent with the table and description on pages 65 and 66 of the company’s 2013 Annual Report:

Free cash flow of $3,606 million for the first six months of 2014 decreased $776 million year to year. The decrease was driven primarily by cash tax payments of $3.5 billion, which were higher year to year $1.2 billion, resulting from audit settlement payments and other prior period discrete tax impacts that settled in the first quarter of 2014; excluding the impact of cash tax payments, free cash flow increased approximately $400 million in the first half of 2014. In the first six months of 2014, the company continued to focus its cash utilization on returning value to shareholders including $2.1 billion in dividends and $11.8 billion in gross common stock repurchases.
Events that could temporarily change the historical cash flow dynamics discussed above and in the company’s 2013 Annual Report include significant changes in operating results, material changes in geographic sources of cash, unexpected adverse impacts from litigation, future pension funding requirements during 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 13, “Contingencies,” in this Form 10-Q. With respect to pension funding, the company expects to make legally mandated pension plan contributions to certain non-U.S. plans of approximately $600 million in 2014. Cash disbursements related to all retirement-related plans is expected to be approximately $2.8 billion in 2014. 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. The company is not quantifying any further impact from pension funding because it is not possible to predict future movements in the capital markets or pension plan funding regulations.
The company’s U.S. cash flows continue to be sufficient to fund its current domestic operations and obligations, including investing and financing activities such as dividends and debt service. The company’s U.S. operations generate substantial cash flows, and, in those circumstances where the company has additional cash requirements in the U.S., the company has several liquidity options available. These options may include the ability to borrow additional funds at reasonable interest rates, utilizing its committed global credit facility, repatriating certain foreign earnings and utilizing intercompany loans with certain foreign subsidiaries.
The company does earn a significant amount of its pre-tax income outside the U.S. The company’s policy is to indefinitely reinvest the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries, and accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been made on accumulated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The company periodically repatriates a portion of these earnings to the extent that it does not incur an additional U.S tax liability. Quantification of the deferred tax liability, if any, associated with indefinitely reinvested earnings is not practicable. While the company currently does not have a need to repatriate funds held by its foreign subsidiaries, if these funds are needed for operations and obligations in the U.S., the company could elect to repatriate these funds which could result in a reassessment of the company’s policy and increased tax expense.
Global Financing
Global Financing is a reportable segment that is measured as a stand-alone entity. Global Financing facilitates clients’ acquisition of IBM systems, software and services with the objective of generating consistently strong returns on equity.

The increase in revenue in the second quarter, as compared to the same period in 2013, was due to:
· Growth in external revenue of 3.5 percent (4 percent adjusted for currency) due to an increase in financing revenue (up 5.1 percent to $393 million), partially offset by a decrease in equipment sales revenue (down 1.7 percent to $111 million); and
· Growth in internal revenue of 19.2 percent, due to increases in used equipment sales revenue (up 23.0 percent to $587 million) and in financing revenue (up 0.7 percent to $99 million).
The increase in revenue in the first six months, as compared to the same period in 2013, was due to:
· Growth in external revenue of 3.1 percent (5 percent adjusted for currency) due to an increase in financing revenue (up 4.3 percent to $784 million), partially offset by a decrease in equipment sales revenue (down 0.8 percent to $231 million); and
· Growth in internal revenue of 16.7 percent, due to increases in used equipment sales revenue (up 20.2 percent to $1,094 million) and in financing revenue (up 1.2 percent to $209 million).
The increases in external financing revenue in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013, were due to an increase in the average asset balance, partially offset by lower asset yields. The increases in internal financing revenue in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013, were due to higher asset yields and average asset balance.
Global Financing gross profit increased 14.9 percent and 14.0 percent in the second quarter and for the first six months, respectively, of 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013, due to an increase in used equipment sales gross profit, partially offset by a decrease in financing gross profit. The gross profit margin increased 1.7 points and 2.3 points, in the second quarter and for the first six months, respectively, of 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013, due to a margin increase in used equipment sales, partially offset by a margin decrease in financing.
Global Financing pre-tax income increased 7.7 percent to $593 million in the second quarter, compared to the same period in 2013, due to higher gross profit ($107 million), partially offset by increases in financing receivables provisions ($50 million) and in selling, general and administrative expenses ($14 million). Pre-tax income increased 9.2 percent to $1,188 million in the first six months of 2014, compared to the same period in 2013, due to higher gross profit ($201 million), partially offset by increases in financing receivables provisions ($76 million) and in selling, general and administrative expenses ($23 million). The increases in financing receivables provisions for both periods were due to higher specific reserve requirements in the current year.
The decreases in return on equity in the second quarter and for the first six months of 2014, compared to the same periods of 2013, were due to a higher average equity balance, partially offset by the increase in after-tax income.

Sources and Uses of Funds
The primary use of funds in Global Financing is to originate client and commercial financing assets. Client financing assets for end users consist primarily of IBM systems, software and services, but also include OEM equipment, software and services to meet IBM clients’ total solutions requirements. Client financing assets are primarily sales-type, direct financing and operating leases for systems products, as well as loans for systems, software and services with terms generally from one to seven years. Global Financing’s client loans are primarily for software and services and are unsecured. These loans are subjected to credit analysis to evaluate the associated risk and, when deemed necessary, actions are taken to mitigate risks in the loan agreements which include covenants to protect against credit deterioration during the life of the obligation. Client financing also includes internal activity as described on pages 33 and 34 of the 2013 IBM Annual Report.
Commercial financing receivables arise primarily from inventory and accounts receivable financing for dealers and remarketers of IBM and OEM products. Payment terms for inventory financing and accounts receivable financing generally range from 30 to 90 days. These short-term receivables are primarily unsecured and are also subjected to additional credit analysis in order to evaluate the associated risk.
In addition to the actions previously described, in certain circumstances, the company may take mitigation actions to transfer credit risk to third parties.
At June 30, 2014, substantially all financing assets are IT related assets, and approximately 59 percent of the total external portfolio was with investment grade clients with no direct exposure to consumers.

Cash collections of both commercial financing and client financing assets exceeded new financing originations in the first six months of 2014 which resulted in a net decline of financing assets from December 31, 2013. New originations of client financing assets exceeded cash collections in the second quarter of 2014, which resulted in a net increase in client financing assets in this period. The decrease in originations in the second quarter of 2014 was due to a decrease in volumes in client financing compared to the second quarter of 2013. The increase in originations in the first six months of 2014 was due to an increase in volumes in commercial financing compared to the same period in the prior year. Internal loan financing with Global Services is executed under a loan facility and is not considered originations.
Cash generated by Global Financing was deployed to pay intercompany payables and dividends to IBM as well as business partners and OEM suppliers.

** Primarily represents translation adjustments. |
The percentage of Global Financing receivables reserved increased from 1.2 percent at December 31, 2013, to 1.5 percent at June 30, 2014, primarily due to an increase in specific reserve requirements. Specific reserves increased 32 percent from $279 million at December 31, 2013, to $367 million at June 30, 2014. Unallocated reserves decreased 5 percent from $113 million at December 31, 2013, to $107 million at June 30, 2014, due to the decline in gross financing receivables.
Global Financing’s bad debt expense was $65 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $15 million for the same period in 2013. Global Financing’s bad debt expense was $98 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $22 million for the same period in 2013. The year-to-year increases in bad debt expense for both periods were due to higher specific reserve requirements, primarily in China, in the current year.

Management Discussion – (continued)
Residual Value
Residual value is a risk unique to the financing business and management of this risk is dependent upon the ability to accurately project future equipment values at lease inception. Global Financing has insight into product plans and cycles for the IBM products under lease. Based upon this product information, Global Financing continually monitors projections of future equipment values and compares them with the residual values reflected in the portfolio.
Global Financing optimizes the recovery of residual values by selling assets sourced from end of lease, leasing used equipment to new clients, or extending lease arrangements with current clients. Sales of equipment, which are primarily sourced from equipment returned at the end of a lease, represented 58.7 percent and 57.2 percent of Global Financing's revenue in the second quarter and first six months, respectively, of 2014, and 55.6 percent and 54.4 percent in the second quarter and first six months, respectively, of 2013. The increases in both periods were due to a higher volume of used equipment sales for internal transactions. The gross profit margins on these sales were 67.1 percent and 67.5 percent and 59.1 percent and 59.0 percent in the second quarter and in the first six months, respectively, of 2014 and 2013. The increases in the gross profit margin for both periods were driven by a margin increase in internal sales and a shift in mix toward higher margin internal equipment sales.
The table below presents the recorded amount of unguaranteed residual value for sales-type, direct financing and operating leases at January 1, 2014 and June 30, 2014. In addition, the table presents the residual value as a percentage of the related original amount financed and a run out of when the unguaranteed residual value assigned to equipment on leases at June 30, 2014 is expected to be returned to the company. In addition to the unguaranteed residual value, on a limited basis, Global Financing will obtain guarantees of the future value of the equipment to be returned at end of lease. While primarily focused on IBM products, guarantees are also obtained for certain OEM products. These third-party guarantees are included in minimum lease payments as provided for by accounting standards in the determination of lease classifications for the covered equipment and provide protection against risk of loss arising from declines in equipment values for these assets.
The residual value guarantee increases the minimum lease payments that are utilized in determining the classification of a lease as a sales-type lease, direct financing lease or operating lease. The aggregate asset values associated with the guarantees of sales-type leases were $117 million and $96 million for the financing transactions originated during the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively and $203 million and $226 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The aggregate asset values associated with the guarantees of direct financing leases were $56 million and $59 million for the financing transactions originated during the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively and $101 million and $115 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The associated aggregate guaranteed future values at the scheduled end of lease were $7 million and $5 million for the financing transactions originated during the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively and $12 million and $13 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The cost of guarantees was $0.7 million and $0.5 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $1.2 million and $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The company funds Global Financing through borrowings using a debt-to-equity ratio target of approximately 7 to 1. The debt used to fund Global Financing assets is composed of intercompany loans and external debt. The terms of the intercompany loans are set by the company to substantially match the term and currency underlying the financing receivable and are based on arm's-length pricing. Both assets and debt are presented in the Global Financing balance sheet on page 79.
Global Financing provides financing predominantly for the company’s external client assets, as well as for assets under contract by other IBM units. As previously stated, the company measures Global Financing as a stand-alone entity, and accordingly, interest expense relating to debt supporting Global Financing’s external client and internal business is included in the “Global Financing Results of Operations” on page 78 and in Segment Information on pages 27 and 28.
In the company’s Consolidated Statement of Earnings on page 3, the external debt-related interest expense supporting Global Financing’s internal financing to the company is reclassified from cost of financing to interest expense.
The following table provides additional information on total company debt. In this table, intercompany activity includes internal loans and leases at arm’s-length pricing in support of Global Services’ long-term contracts and other internal activity. The company believes these assets should be appropriately leveraged in line with the overall Global Financing business model.

Management Discussion – (continued)
Looking Forward
Global Financing's financial position provides flexibility and funding capacity which enables the company to be well positioned in the current environment. Global Financing’s assets and new financing volumes are IBM and OEM products and services financed to the company’s clients and business partners, and substantially all financing assets are IT related assets which provide a stable base of business for future growth. Global Financing’s offerings are competitive and available to clients as a result of the company’s borrowing cost and access to the capital markets. Overall, Global Financing’s originations will be dependent upon the demand for IT products and services as well as client participation rates.
IBM continues to access both the short-term commercial paper market and the medium- and long-term debt markets. A protracted period where IBM could not access the capital markets would likely lead to a slowdown in originations.
Interest rates and the overall economy (including currency fluctuations) will have an effect on both revenue and gross profit. The company’s interest rate risk management policy, however, combined with the Global Financing pricing strategy should mitigate gross margin erosion due to changes in interest rates.
The economy could impact the credit quality of the Global Financing receivables portfolio and therefore the level of provision for credit losses. Global Financing will continue to apply rigorous credit policies in both the origination of new business and the evaluation of the existing portfolio.
As discussed on page 81, Global Financing has historically been able to manage residual value risk both through insight into the company’s product cycles, as well as through its remarketing business.
Global Financing has policies in place to manage each of the key risks involved in financing. These policies, combined with product and client knowledge, should allow for the prudent management of the business going forward, even during periods of uncertainty with respect to the global economy.
