Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements:

 

1. Basis of Presentation: The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes of the International Business Machines Corporation (IBM or the company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The financial statements and footnotes are unaudited. In the opinion of the company’s management, these statements include all adjustments, which are only of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present a fair statement of the company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the assets, liabilities, revenue, costs, expenses and accumulated 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. See the company’s 2012 Annual Report on pages 59 to 61 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 2012 Annual Report.

 

Noncontrolling interest amounts in income of $0.9 million and $2.0 million, net of tax, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $2.3 million and $5.7 million, net of tax, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, 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 July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance allowing the use of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes in addition to interest rates on direct Treasury obligations of the United States government and the LIBOR. In addition, the guidance removes the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. The guidance became effective on a prospective basis for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013, and is not expected to have a material impact in the consolidated financial results.

 

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 is a change in financial statement presentation only and has no material impact in the consolidated financial results. The guidance is effective beginning January 1, 2014 on either a prospective or retrospective basis.

 

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 is effective prospectively beginning January 1, 2014. It is not expected to have a material impact in the consolidated financial results.

 

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 fixed at the reporting date. Examples include debt arrangements, other contractual obligations and settled litigation. 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 is effective January 1, 2014 and is not expected to have a material impact in the consolidated financial results.

3. Financial Instruments:

 

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 within 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,” on pages 76 to 86 in the company’s 2012 Annual Report for further information. There were no material impairments of non-financial assets for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

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 does not apply 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, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

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, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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.

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 is $26,292 million and $24,088 million and the estimated fair value is $28,243 million and $27,119 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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. The following tables summarize the company’s noncurrent debt and marketable equity securities which are also considered available-for-sale and recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Based on an evaluation of available evidence as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the company believes that unrealized losses on debt and available-for-sale equity investments were temporary and did not represent a need for an other-than-temporary impairment.

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 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, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $55 million and $94 million, respectively, for which no collateral was posted at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  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, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $937 million and $918 million, respectively. This amount represents the maximum exposure to loss at the reporting date as a result of the counterparties failing to perform as contracted. This exposure was reduced by $256 million and $262 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, of liabilities included in master netting arrangements with those counterparties. Additionally, at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, this exposure was reduced by $33 million and $69 million of cash collateral, respectively, received by the company. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the net exposure related to derivative assets recorded in the Statement of Financial Position was $648 million and $587 million respectively.  At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the net amount related to derivative liabilities recorded in the Statement of Financial Position was $225 million and $242 million, respectively.

 

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, 2013 or December 31, 2012 for the right to reclaim cash collateral. The amount recognized in accounts payable for the obligation

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (continued)

 

to return cash collateral totaled $33 million and $69 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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, 2013 or at December 31, 2012. Additionally, the company’s exposure is further reduced by holding non-cash collateral. At June 30, 2013, no amounts of non-cash collateral were held, and at December 31, 2012, $31 million was held in U.S. Treasury securities.  Per accounting guidance, non-cash collateral is not recorded on the Statement of Financial Position.

 

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 and cross-currency swaps, 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, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the total notional amount of the company’s interest rate swaps was $3.0 billion and $4.3 billion, respectively. The weighted-average remaining maturity of these instruments at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was approximately 6.6 years and 5.1 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, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

 

At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the total notional amount of derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges was $4.6 billion and $3.3 billion, respectively. The weighted-average remaining maturity of these instruments at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was approximately 0.3 years and 0.4 years, respectively.

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 is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows is four years. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the total notional amount of forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted royalty and cost transactions was $10.8 billion and $10.7 billion, respectively, with a weighted-average remaining maturity of 0.7 years and 0.7 years, respectively.

 

At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, in connection with cash flow hedges of anticipated royalties and cost transactions, the company recorded net gains of $109 million and net losses of $138 million (before taxes), respectively, in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss). Within these amounts $205 million of gains and $79 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. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, no instruments relating to this program were outstanding.

 

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, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the total notional amount of derivative instruments in economic hedges of foreign currency exposure was $13.4 billion and $12.9 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. They are recorded at fair value with gains or losses also reported in SG&A expense in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the total notional amount of derivative instruments in economic hedges of these compensation obligations was $1.2 billion for both periods.

 

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, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

 

The company is exposed to a potential loss if a client fails to pay amounts due under contractual terms. The company utilizes 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, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Net investment in sales-type and direct financing leases relates principally to the company’s systems products and are for terms ranging generally from two to six years. Net investment in sales-type and direct financing leases includes unguaranteed residual values of $745 million and $794 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and is reflected net of unearned income of $698 million and $728 million, and net of the allowance for credit losses of $111 million and $114 million at those dates, respectively.

 

Commercial financing receivables, net of allowance for credit losses of $31 million and $46 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, relate primarily to inventory and accounts receivable financing for dealers and remarketers of IBM and OEM products. Payment terms for inventory and accounts receivable financing generally range from 30 to 90 days.

 

Client loan receivables, net of allowance for credit losses of $165 million and $155 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, are loans that are provided primarily to clients to finance the purchase of software and services. Separate contractual relationships on these financing arrangements are for terms ranging generally from one to seven years.

 

Installment payment receivables, net of allowance for credit losses of $35 million and $39 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, are loans that are provided primarily to clients to finance hardware, software and services ranging generally from one to three years.

 

Client loan receivables and installment payment receivables financing contracts are priced independently at competitive market rates. The company has a history of enforcing the terms of these separate financing agreements.

 

The company utilizes certain of its financing receivables as collateral for non-recourse borrowings. Financing receivables pledged as collateral for borrowings were $731 million and $650 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

 

The company did not have any financing receivables held for sale as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

 

Financing Receivables by Portfolio Segment

 

The following tables present financing receivables on a gross basis, excluding the allowance for credit losses and residual value, by portfolio segment and by class, excluding current commercial financing receivables and other miscellaneous current financing receivables at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The company determines its allowance for credit losses based on two portfolio segments: lease receivables and loan receivables, and further segments the portfolio into two classes: major markets and growth markets. For additional information on the company’s accounting policies for the allowance for credit losses, see the company’s 2012 Annual Report beginning on page 85.

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 are on non-accrual status at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Credit Quality Indicators

 

The company’s credit quality indicators, which are based on rating agency data, publicly available information and information provided by customers, are reviewed periodically based on the relative level of risk. The resulting indicators are a numerical rating system that maps to Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services credit ratings as shown below. Standard & Poor’s does not provide credit ratings to the company on its customers.

 

The following tables present the gross recorded investment for each class of receivables, by credit quality indicator, at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. 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.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

 

The company did not have any troubled debt restructurings during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

5. Stock-Based Compensation: Stock-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized over the employee requisite service period. The following table presents total stock-based compensation cost included in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings:

The increase in pre-tax stock-based compensation cost for the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, was due to increases related to restricted stock units ($4 million) and performance share units ($1 million), partially offset by a decrease in the company’s assumption of stock-based awards previously issued by acquired entities ($4 million). The decrease in pre-tax stock-based compensation cost for the six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, was due to decreases related to performance share units ($11 million), the company’s assumption of stock-based awards previously issued by acquired entities ($7 million) and restricted stock units ($5 million).

 

As of June 30, 2013, the total unrecognized compensation cost of $1,287 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, 2013 and 2012.

 

6. Segments:  The tables on pages 26 and 27 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.

The company received a $10.0 million subsidy in the second quarter of 2013 and a $16.2 million subsidy for the first half of 2013 in connection with the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003. A portion of this subsidy is used by the company to reduce its obligation and expense related to the plan, and the remainder is contributed to the plan to reduce contributions required by the participants. For further information related to the Medicare Prescription Drug Act, see page 133 in the company’s 2012 Annual Report.

 

9. Acquisitions/Divestitures:

 

Acquisitions: During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the company completed three acquisitions at an aggregate cost of $101 million.

 

The Software segment completed acquisitions of three privately held companies: in the first quarter, StoredIQ Inc. (StoredIQ) and Star Analytics, Inc. (Star Analytics); and in the second quarter, UrbanCode Inc. (UrbanCode).

 

The table below reflects the purchase price related to these acquisitions and the resulting purchase price allocations as of June 30, 2013:

Each acquisition further complemented and enhanced the company’s portfolio of product and services offerings. The acquisition of StoredIQ advances the company’s efforts to help clients derive value from big data. The combination of the company’s and Star Analytics’ software will advance the company’s business analytics initiatives. UrbanCode automates the delivery of software, helping businesses quickly release and update mobile, social, big data and cloud applications. Purchase price consideration for these acquisitions as reflected in the table above, is paid 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 work-force, neither of which qualify as an amortizable intangible asset. The overall weighted-average life of the identified amortizable intangible assets acquired is 6.6

years. These identified intangible assets will be amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. Goodwill of $75 million has been assigned to the Software segment. It is expected that approximately 8 percent of the goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes.

 

On July 8, 2013, the company announced that it had completed the acquisition of SoftLayer Technologies, Inc. (SoftLayer), based in Dallas, Texas, the world’s largest privately held cloud computing infrastructure company. Softlayer will enable the company to deliver the security, privacy and reliability attributes of private clouds with the economy and speed of public clouds. At the date of issuance of the financial statements, the initial business combination accounting (purchase price of approximately $2.0 billion) was not complete for this acquisition.

 

On July 9, 2013, the company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire CSL International (CSL), a privately held company based in Herzliya Pituach, Israel. CSL is a leading provider of virtualization management technology for the company’s zEnterprise system. The acquisition is expected to close in the third quarter of 2013.

 

Divestitures: During the first quarter of 2013, the company completed the divestiture of its Showcase Reporting product set to Help/Systems. Showcase Reporting, which was acquired by IBM through the SPSS acquisition in 2009, is an enterprise-class business intelligence platform that enables customers to build and manage analytical reporting environments. This transaction was not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(a)   Other intangibles are primarily acquired proprietary and non-proprietary business processes, methodologies and systems.

 

The net carrying amount of intangible assets decreased $369 million during the first half of 2013, primarily due to amortization. The aggregate intangible amortization expense was $326 million and $657 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively, versus $318 million and $627 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2012, respectively. In addition, in the first half of 2013, the company retired $598 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, 2013:

12. Contingencies: As a company with a substantial employee population and with clients in more than 170 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, 2013, were not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In accordance with the relevant accounting guidance, the company provides disclosures of matters for which the likelihood of material loss is at least reasonably possible. In addition, the company also discloses matters based on its consideration of other matters and qualitative factors, including the experience of other companies in the industry, and investor, customer and employee relations considerations.

 

With respect to certain of the claims, suits, investigations and proceedings discussed herein, the company believes at this time that the likelihood of any material loss is remote, given, for example, the procedural status, court rulings, and/or the strength of the company’s defenses in those matters. With respect to the remaining claims, suits, investigations and proceedings discussed in this Note, 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 seven of SCO’s ten 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. Trial began in late February 2012 in Marion County, Indiana Superior Court and concluded in early April. On July 18, 2012, the court rejected the State’s claims in their entirety and awarded IBM $52 million plus interest and costs. The parties have each appealed portions of the court’s ruling.

 

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. The trial in the High Court concluded in April 2013 and the company is awaiting a ruling from the Court. 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 and are currently stayed pending resolution of the above-referenced High Court proceedings.

 

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.

 

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 activities by employees of IBM Korea, LG IBM, IBM (China) Investment Company Limited and IBM Global Services (China) Co., Ltd., during the period from 1998 through 2009, allegedly in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977. As part of that settlement, IBM consented to the entry of a judgment relating to the books and records and internal control provisions of the securities laws, and also agreed to pay a total of $10 million, categorized by the SEC as follows: (i) $5.3 million, representing profits gained as a result of the conduct alleged in the SEC’s complaint, (ii) prejudgment interest on that amount of $2.7 million, and (iii) a civil penalty of $2 million. 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 is conducting an investigation into how IBM reports cloud revenue.  IBM is cooperating with the SEC in this matter.

 

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 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. These matters include claims for taxes on the importation of computer software. In November 2008, the company won a significant case in the Superior Chamber of the federal administrative tax court in Brazil, and in late July 2009, the company received written confirmation regarding this decision. The total potential amount related to the remaining matters for all applicable years is approximately $650 million. The company believes it will prevail on these matters and that this amount is not a meaningful indicator of liability.

 

13. Commitments: The company’s extended lines of credit to third-party entities include unused amounts of $4,889 million and $4,719 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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 $1,566 million and $1,513 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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 non-financial 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, which procedures 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

 

39

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 $58 million and $65 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The fair value of the guarantees recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position is not material.

14. Subsequent Events: On July 30, 2013, the company announced that the Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.95 per common share. The dividend is payable September 10, 2013 to shareholders of record on August 9, 2013.

 

On July 29, 2013, the company offered and priced $1.5 billion of ten-year fixed-rate bonds with a 3.375 percent coupon, and $650 million of 2-year floating-rate bonds priced at three month London Interbanks Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus three basis points. Both series of bonds will be issued on August 1, 2013.

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 page 71 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.

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 earnings per share 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.

Financial Performance Summary:

 

In the second quarter of 2013, the company reported $24.9 billion in revenue and diluted earnings per share of $2.91 as reported and $3.22 on an operating (non-GAAP) basis. In April 2013, the company indicated that it expected to take most of its workforce rebalancing actions for the year in the second quarter as opposed to the prior year when these charges were distributed across the quarters. These actions resulted in a charge to pre-tax income of $1,011 million in the second quarter of 2013 compared to $155 million in the second quarter of 2012. Excluding the workforce rebalancing charges in both years, second quarter 2013 operating (non-GAAP) diluted earnings per share was $3.91, an increase of 8.3 percent compared to the second quarter of 2012. The company generated $3.2 billion in cash from operations and $2.7 billion in free cash flow in the second quarter driving shareholder returns of $4.6 billion in gross common stock repurchases and dividends.

 

The company had good performance in the second quarter in its higher value, higher margin businesses which contributed to sequential improvement in its year-to-year revenue performance and to gross margin expansion. Software revenue returned to mid-single digit growth at 4.1 percent (5 percent adjusted for currency); the best constant currency growth in Software since the first quarter of 2012. Performance was led by key branded middleware which increased 9.1 percent (10 percent adjusted for currency) versus the prior year with share growth in all five brands. Within Global Services, Global Business Services declined 1.3 percent, however revenue performance improved by 2 points from the first quarter and returned to growth at constant currency, increasing 2 percent compared to the second quarter of 2012. Global Technology Services revenue decreased 4.6 percent (2 percent adjusted for currency) with performance consistent with the first quarter. With a significant amount of new contracts in the second quarter, the total estimated Global Services backlog increased 3.2 percent, 7 percent at constant currency, compared to the June 30, 2012 balance, to $141 billion. This was the strongest backlog growth at constant currency in four years. Systems and Technology revenue performance was mixed in the second quarter. The System z mainframe business delivered strong performance with revenue increasing 9.9 percent (11 percent

adjusted for currency). Power Systems and Storage had modest improvement in their year-to-year revenue performance compared to the first quarter; however both brands still declined versus the prior year. Across the company’s segments, Smarter Planet was up over 25 percent and cloud increased over 70 percent in the first six months of 2013 versus the prior year. Business analytics revenue increased 11 percent in the second quarter with good performance across Global Business Services and Software. These initiatives address key market trends including mobile, social and big data. From a geographic perspective, revenue performance in the growth markets was consistent with the first quarter, increasing 0.5 percent as reported and 1 percent at constant currency. The major markets declined 4.7 percent (2 percent adjusted for currency), however performance improved from the first quarter revenue growth rate. Overall, the company improved its performance in several areas of the business in the second quarter. With first half 2013 operating (non-GAAP) earnings per share of $6.23 down only 1.0 percent year to year, including the second quarter workforce rebalancing charge, the company is on a good footing entering the second half of the year.

 

In April 2013, the company indicated that its expectation for the full year 2013 was GAAP earnings of at least $15.53 and operating (non-GAAP) earnings of at least $16.70 per diluted share. This expectation was based on an “all in” view of the business taking into account operational performance, benefits from workforce rebalancing activity and gains/charges. The company also indicated in April that excluding the expected second quarter workforce rebalancing charge and second half gains, the company was confident that it could achieve at least $16.70 of operating (non-GAAP) earnings per share for the full year 2013.

 

In July 2013, the company updated its full year 2013 expectations for new information. First, the substantial second half gain that the company was expecting in its “all in” view of earnings per share will not likely close by end of the year, although the company remains in active discussions. The company follows a very disciplined mergers and acquisitions process and will not undervalue or expedite a divestiture simply to close a transaction in the current year. As a result, the company will need to fully absorb the second quarter workforce rebalancing charge of $1 billion in its “all in” view without an offset from this potential gain.

 

Based on its performance in the second quarter, solid prospects for its growth initiatives, tough decisions on spending and potential tax settlements, the company increased its expectation for full year operating (non-GAAP) earnings per share, excluding the second quarter workforce rebalancing charge, by $0.20 to at least $16.90. As a result, the company has updated its “all in” view for the full year, expecting GAAP earnings of at least $15.08 and operating (non-GAAP) earnings of at least $16.25, with the net impact of $0.45 driven by the elongated discussions related to the larger divestiture project, partially offset by the improved operational performance.

 

In the second quarter, total consolidated revenue decreased 3.3 percent, 1 percent at constant currency. The constant currency performance reflects a 2 point improvement from the first quarter rate and was driven by Global Services, Software and Systems and Technology. The company entered the quarter with a modest currency headwind which became more pronounced with the strengthening of the dollar. Overall, currency impacted the company’s revenue growth by 2 points. At current spot rates, the company expects a 3 point currency impact to revenue in the second half of the year.

 

The consolidated gross profit margin increased 1.0 points versus the second quarter of 2012 to 48.7 percent. The operating (non-GAAP) gross margin increased 1.4 points to 49.7 percent. Performance was driven by margin expansion in Global Services and a mix to the more profitable segments.

 

Total expense and other (income) increased 12.2 percent in the second quarter compared to the prior year. Total operating (non-GAAP) expense and other (income) increased 11.2 percent compared to the second quarter of 2012. Normalizing for the workforce rebalancing charges recorded in the second quarter of 2013 and 2012, operating (non-GAAP) total expense and other (income) declined 1.0 percent compared to the second quarter of 2012. The key drivers of the year-to-year change in total expense and other (income) were approximately:

Pre-tax income declined 19.7 percent year to year and the pre-tax margin was 16.6 percent. Net income decreased 16.9 percent and the net income margin was 12.9 percent, a decrease of 2.1 points year to year. The effective tax rate for the second quarter was 22.1 percent, compared with 24.8 percent in the prior year. The tax rate in the second quarter includes a discrete tax benefit associated with a tax agreement received in the quarter. Operating (non-GAAP) pre-tax income declined 15.6 percent year to year and the pre-tax margin was 18.4 percent, a decrease of 2.7 points versus the prior year. Operating (non-GAAP) net income decreased 12.2 percent and the operating (non-GAAP) net income margin of 14.4 percent decreased 1.5 points versus the prior year. The operating (non-GAAP) effective tax rate was 22.0 percent versus 25.0 percent in the second quarter of 2012.

 

The workforce rebalancing charges in the second quarter of 2013 and 2012 impacted the company’s operating (non-GAAP) pre-tax and net income dynamics in the period. Excluding the second quarter workforce rebalancing charges in both 2013 and 2012, operating (non-GAAP) pre-tax income increased 0.2 percent, and the operating (non-GAAP) pre-tax margin of 22.5 percent increased 0.8 points. Operating (non-GAAP) net income increased 3.5 percent, and the operating (non-GAAP) net income margin of 17.4 percent increased 1.1 points.

 

Diluted earnings per share declined 12.9 percent versus the prior year. Operating (non-GAAP) diluted earnings per share declined 8.3 percent compared to the prior year. Normalized for the workforce rebalancing charges, operating (non-GAAP) diluted earnings per share increased 8.3 percent compared to the second quarter of 2012. In the second quarter of 2013, the company repurchased 17.1 million shares of its common stock.

 

Operating (non-GAAP) diluted earnings per share of $3.22 decreased $0.29 versus the second quarter of 2012 driven by the following factors:

The company generated $3,175 million in cash flow provided by operating activities, a decrease of $1,260 million compared to the second quarter of 2012, driven primarily by higher income tax payments in the second quarter of 2013 versus 2012. Net cash used in investing activities of $864 million decreased $820 million primarily due to less cash used for acquisitions ($485 million) and lower net capital expenditures ($315 million). Net cash used in financing activities of $3,327 million decreased $36 million compared to the prior year, primarily due to higher net cash proceeds from total debt ($668 million), partially offset by increased cash used for common stock repurchases ($564 million) and dividends ($70 million).

At June 30, 2013, the company’s balance sheet and liquidity positions remain strong and are well-positioned to support the business over the long term. Cash and marketable securities at quarter end were $10,356 million, a decrease of $772 million from December 31, 2012. Key drivers in the balance sheet and total cash flows are highlighted below.

 

Total assets decreased $4,060 million ($968 million adjusted for currency) from December 31, 2012 driven by:

 

·                  Decreases in total receivables ($2,726 million), cash and cash equivalents ($854 million), property, plant and equipment — net ($640 million), goodwill ($401 million), intangible assets ($369 million) and investments and sundry assets ($300 million); partially offset by

·                  Increased prepaid expenses and other current assets ($722 million) and total deferred taxes ($346 million).

 

Total liabilities decreased $2,960 million ($704 million adjusted for currency) from December 31, 2012 driven by:

 

·                  Decreases in retirement and nonpension postretirement ($2,455 million), accounts payable ($1,131 million) and compensation and benefits ($523 million); partially offset by

·                  Increased total debt ($853 million) and other accrued expenses and liabilities ($367 million).

 

Total equity of $17,883 million decreased $1,101 million from December 31, 2012 as a result of:

 

·                  Increased treasury stock ($6,107 million) driven by share repurchases; partially offset by

Table of Contents

 

·              Higher retained earnings ($4,243 million) and common stock ($776 million).

 

The company generated $7,197 million in cash flow provided by operating activities, a decrease of $1,529 million when compared to the first six months of 2012, primarily driven by an increase in cash used due to higher income tax payments ($709 million), a decrease in cash provided by accounts receivable driven by lower collections ($685 million), an increase in the use of cash related to the fulfillment of services contracts ($366 million) and a decrease in operational net income. These decreases were partially offset by cash savings from the deferral of the 401(k) matching contribution ($439 million) and a decrease in cash used for vendor payables ($248 million).  Net cash used in investing activities of $1,876 million was $2,037 million lower than the first six months of 2012, primarily due to decreased cash used for acquisitions ($1,745 million). Net cash used in financing activities of $6,043 million was $364 million higher, compared to the first six months of 2012, primarily due to lower cash provided by common stock transactions ($404 million) and increased dividend payments ($148 million), partially offset by increased proceeds from net debt transactions ($187 million).

In April 2013, the company indicated that it expected to take most of its workforce rebalancing actions for the year in the second quarter as opposed to the prior year when these charges were distributed across the quarters. These actions resulted in a charge to pre-tax income of $1,011 million in the second quarter of 2013 compared to $155 million in the second quarter of 2012. In the segment analysis below and in the Global Financing analysis on pages 74 and 75, each segment’s pre-tax income and pre-tax margin for the second quarter and first six months of 2013 and 2012 is presented on an as-reported basis and on a basis normalized for these actions in the second quarter of both years to provide a better perspective of the underlying operational performance of the segments.

 

Global Services

 

In the second quarter of 2013, the Global Services segments, Global Technology Services (GTS) and Global Business Services (GBS), delivered revenue of $14,142 million, a decrease of 3.5 percent (1 percent adjusted for currency) year to year. The revenue performance in the quarter reflected a one point sequential improvement at constant currency from the first quarter of 2013. Pre-tax profit in the second quarter of 2013 declined 16.5 percent year to year driven by a higher level of workforce rebalancing charges. Normalizing for the workforce rebalancing charges in both periods, pre-tax profit increased 2.4 percent with a pre-tax margin of 18.6 percent, up 1.1 points year to year. The Services segments continued to have good performance in the growth initiatives of Smarter Planet, cloud and business analytics, and continued to invest to accelerate the shift toward higher value content. Total outsourcing revenue of $6,503 million decreased 5.1 percent (2 percent adjusted for currency) and total transactional revenue of $5,861 million decreased 1.5 percent as reported, but increased 1 percent adjusted for currency year over year.

 

In the first six months of 2013, total Global Services revenue was $28,231 million, a decrease of 3.8 percent (1 percent adjusted for currency) year to year. Revenue in the growth markets increased 1.0 percent (3 percent adjusted for currency), while the major markets decreased 5.0 percent (2 percent adjusted for currency) year to year. Total outsourcing revenue of $13,103 million decreased 5.1 percent (2 percent adjusted for currency) and total transactional revenue of $11,581 million decreased 2.1 percent as reported, but increased 1 percent at constant currency year to year.

Global Technology Services revenue of $9,536 million decreased 4.6 percent (2 percent adjusted for currency) in the second quarter of 2013 year to year and decreased 4.4 percent (2 percent adjusted for currency) to $19,140 million in the first six months of 2013. GTS Outsourcing revenue decreased 5.9 percent (3 percent adjusted for currency) in both the second quarter and the first six months of 2013 year to year, respectively, and continued to be impacted by the work previously done to restructure and improve the profitability of lower margin outsourcing contracts. This initiative helped improve GTS Outsourcing margin performance again in the second quarter, and is estimated to have had an impact of approximately 1.5 points of year-to-year revenue growth to GTS, and 1 point to Global Services in total. The impacts to year-to-year revenue growth from this initiative will mitigate in the second half of 2013, although GTS will continue to operate at this higher profit base. Integrated Technology Services (ITS) revenue decreased 1.8 percent (increased 1 percent adjusted for currency) in the second quarter and decreased 1.3 percent (increased 1 percent adjusted for currency) in the first six months of 2013. Revenue growth at constant currency was led by Japan with its third consecutive quarter of double-digit growth. In July 2013, the company closed the acquisition of SoftLayer Technologies Inc., the world’s largest privately held cloud computing infrastructure provider. With SoftLayer, the company will accelerate the build-out of its public cloud infrastructure to give clients the broadest choice of cloud offerings to drive business innovation.

 

Global Business Services revenue of $4,606 million decreased 1.3 percent as reported, but increased 2 percent adjusted for currency in the second quarter of 2013, representing an approximate 2 point sequential improvement at constant currency from the first quarter of 2013. On a geographic basis, North America led the second quarter sequential improvement and was up mid-single digits at constant currency. The growth markets and Japan continued to drive solid performance, and Europe slowed its rate of decline compared to the first quarter of 2013. In the first six months of 2013, GBS revenue of $9,091 million decreased 2.3 percent as reported, but increased 1 percent adjusted for currency year to year. On an offering basis, GBS had good results across its portfolio. In its solutions that address the Digital Front Office, GBS delivered double-digit growth across the initiatives: business analytics, Smarter Planet and cloud. In addition, within the traditional back office solutions that address the Globally Integrated Enterprise, implementation services that support the traditional packaged applications returned to growth in the second quarter of 2013 at constant currency. Application Outsourcing revenue decreased 1.2 percent (increased 3 percent adjusted for currency) in the second quarter and decreased 1.0 percent (increased 3 percent adjusted for currency) in the first six months of 2013. Consulting and Systems Integration (C&SI) revenue decreased 1.3 percent as reported but increased 2 percent adjusted for currency in the second quarter of 2013, a 3 point sequential improvement at constant currency from the first quarter of 2013. C&SI revenue decreased 2.7 percent (flat adjusted for currency) in the first six months of 2013 year to year.

Global Services Backlog

 

The estimated Global Services backlog at June 30, 2013 was $141 billion, an increase of 3.2 percent (7 percent adjusted for currency) compared to the June 30, 2012 balance, the strongest growth in the backlog at constant currency in the last four years. The year-to-year backlog growth was primarily driven by new business in the quarter and both the transactional and outsourcing businesses improved versus the prior year. The company signed 15 deals over $100 million in the second quarter, including a multi-billion dollar outsourcing deal with UniCredit in Europe. The estimated transactional backlog at June 30, 2013 increased 8.3 percent (12 percent adjusted for currency) and the estimated outsourcing backlog increased 2.7 percent (7 percent adjusted for currency), respectively, from the June 30, 2012 levels. Total growth markets backlog at June 30, 2013 increased 5.6 percent (11 percent year to year adjusted for currency), and the major markets backlog increased 2.6 percent (6 percent adjusted for currency), an improvement from the constant currency growth rate in the first quarter of 2013.

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.

Systems and Technology revenue decreased 11.8 percent (11 percent adjusted for currency) and 14.3 percent (14 percent adjusted for currency) in the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively, versus the same periods in 2012. Adjusting for the divested Retail Store Solutions (RSS) business, revenue declined 8.0 percent (7 percent adjusted for currency) and 10.7 percent (10 percent adjusted for currency) in the second quarter and first six months of 2013, respectively, versus the same periods in 2012. In the second quarter, the company delivered strong performance in the System z mainframe business, and Power Systems and Storage had some modest improvement in year-to-year performance, however, both brands still declined year to year. Systems and Technology returned to profitability in the second quarter excluding workforce rebalancing charges.

 

System z revenue increased 9.9 percent and 8.7 percent (11 percent and 10 percent adjusted for currency) in the second quarter and first six months of 2013 versus the second quarter and first six months of 2012, respectively. MIPS (millions of instructions per second) shipments increased 23 percent and 25 percent in the second quarter and first six months of 2013 versus the same periods of 2012, respectively. The increase in MIPS in both periods was driven by specialty engines, which continue to be more than 50 percent of the volumes and have increased double digits year to year.

 

The company continues to see gains in PureSystems, its expert integrated systems. The company has completed its first five quarters of operations for PureSystems, and has sold over 6,000 systems in over 100 countries.

Power Systems revenue decreased 24.6 percent and 28.0 percent (24 percent and 27 percent adjusted for currency) in the second quarter and first six months of 2013 versus the second quarter and first six months of 2012, respectively. The second quarter decline at constant currency represented a 7 point improvement from last quarter’s rate. The Power platform continued to outperform the UNIX competition as the company gained market share again this quarter. The company is continuing to expand its Power platform to address the Linux opportunity.

 

System x revenue decreased 10.8 percent and 10.0 percent (10 percent and 9 percent adjusted for currency) in the second quarter and first six months of 2013 versus the second quarter and first six months of 2012, respectively. High-end System x revenue decreased 18.8 percent and 13.7 percent (18 percent and 13 percent adjusted for currency) in the second quarter and first six months of 2013 versus the comparable periods of 2012, respectively.

 

Storage revenue decreased 6.5 percent and 8.8 percent (6 percent and 8 percent adjusted for currency) in the second quarter and first six months of 2013 versus the comparable periods in 2012, respectively. Strong double-digit growth in the mid-range Storwize products in both periods was more than offset by declines in the company’s legacy OEM offerings and softness in high-end offerings. The company’s flash product offerings contributed two points of year-to-year growth to total Storage revenue in the second quarter. The value in storage solutions continues to shift to software, as storage software revenue, which is reported in Tivoli, increased 17 percent and 15 percent adjusted for currency, in the second quarter and first six months of 2013, compared to prior year periods.

 

Microelectronics OEM revenue increased 6.3 percent and decreased 4.9 percent (up 6 percent and down 5 percent adjusted for currency) in the second quarter and first six months of 2013 versus the comparable periods of 2012, respectively.

Systems and Technology’s gross profit margin decreased 1.6 points in the second quarter of 2013 versus the prior year. The decrease was driven by lower margins in Power Systems (1.0 points), System x (0.7 points) and Microelectronics (0.4 points), partially offset by an improvement due to revenue mix (0.7 points). Gross margin for the first six months of 2013 decreased 1.6 points compared to the first six months of 2012. The decrease was driven by lower margins in System x (1.1 points), Microelectronics (0.7 points) and Power Systems (0.6 points), partially offset by an improvement due to revenue mix (0.7 points).

Total geographic revenue decreased 3.5 percent (1 percent adjusted for currency) in the second quarter of 2013 compared to the prior year. Excluding the divested RSS business, revenue decreased 2.8 percent as reported and 1 percent on a constant currency basis. A year-to-year revenue decrease in the major markets was partially offset by a modest increase in the growth markets for the quarter, although the major markets improved their constant currency growth rate by 2 points compared to the first quarter of 2013.

 

Across all geographies, growth markets revenue increased 0.5 percent year to year as reported. Adjusted for currency, the growth markets grew 1 percent, consistent with the first quarter of 2013. This represented a constant currency growth rate approximately 4 points higher than the major markets. Within the BRIC countries of Brazil, Russia, India and China,

China, Russia and Australia (down 8.4 percent, 6 percent adjusted for currency) collectively accounted for approximately 40 percent of total growth markets revenue; excluding these countries, the growth markets revenue would have increased 6 percent (7 percent adjusted for currency) in the second quarter versus the prior year.

 

Americas revenue decreased 3.4 percent (3 percent adjusted for currency) compared to the second quarter of 2012. Within the major market countries, the U.S. was down 4.3 percent and Canada was down 6.4 percent (5 percent adjusted for currency). While the U.S. and Canada continue to report year-to-year decreases, both countries have improved their revenue growth rate slightly from the first quarter of 2013. Revenue in the Latin America growth markets increased 8.5 percent (12 percent adjusted for currency) led by the strong performance in Brazil. Most other Latin America counties reported year-to-year growth in the quarter, including Mexico which grew 8.4 percent (8 percent adjusted for currency).

 

Europe/Middle East/Africa (EMEA) revenue decreased 0.4 percent (1 percent adjusted for currency) year to year in the second quarter of 2013. At constant currency, this represented a 3 point improvement in the growth rate compared to the first quarter of 2013. An improved growth rate was reported in several of the major market countries including the UK and Spain which both increased revenue year to year. The UK returned to modest growth up 2.0 percent (5 percent adjusted for currency), and Spain grew for a second consecutive quarter at 4.8 percent (3 percent adjusted for currency). Germany decreased 2.8 percent (4 percent adjusted for currency), France increased 1.0 percent (decreased 1 percent adjusted for currency) and Italy decreased 2.9 percent (5 percent adjusted for currency). Revenue in the EMEA growth markets decreased 0.1 percent (increased 2 percent adjusted for currency). Middle East Africa increased 5.2 percent (11 percent adjusted for currency).

 

Asia Pacific second quarter revenue decreased 7.6 percent (flat adjusted for currency) year over year. Japan revenue decreased 16.0 percent as reported, but increased 3 percent on a constant currency basis, with good performance across hardware, software and services. Adjusted for currency, this is the third consecutive quarter of revenue growth in Japan. The Asia Pacific growth markets decreased 1.9 percent (2 percent adjusted for currency).

 

Total geographic revenue of $47,367 for the first six months of 2013 decreased 4.2 percent (2 percent adjusted for currency) compared to the prior year. Excluding the divested RSS business, revenue decreased 3.5 percent as reported and 2 percent on a constant currency basis. Major markets decreased 5.4 percent (3 percent adjusted for currency). Total revenue from the growth markets, which represented approximately 24 percent of the total geographic revenue for the first six months of the year, was flat on a year-to-year basis (up 1 percent adjusted for currency). Within the BRIC countries, combined revenue was down slightly year to year at 0.6 percent, but up 2 percent adjusted for currency. In the first half of the year, the company had strength in Latin America and the Middle East and Africa region. However, declines in some of the larger growth markets, for example China and Australia, have impacted the overall performance in the growth markets.

 

Americas revenue for the first six months of 2013 decreased 3.7 percent (3 percent adjusted for currency) compared to the prior year. The major market countries were down 5.2 percent (5 percent adjusted for currency), partially offset by an increase in the Latin America growth markets of 7.9 percent (13 percent adjusted for currency). Within the major market countries, the U.S. was down 4.8 percent and Canada was down 7.3 percent (6 percent adjusted for currency). Within the Latin America growth market countries, Brazil increased 6.5 percent (13 percent adjusted for currency) and Mexico increased 10.2 percent (10 percent adjusted for currency).

Total Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense increased 14.4 percent (15 percent adjusted for currency) in the second quarter of 2013 versus the second quarter of 2012. The increase was primarily driven by higher base expense (14 points) and acquisition-related spending (1 point), partially offset by the effects of currency (1 point). Operating (non-GAAP) SG&A expense increased 13.6 percent (15 percent adjusted for currency) primarily driven by higher base spending (14 points) and acquisition-related spending (1 point), partially offset by the effects of currency (1 point). The increase in base expense was driven by the higher level of workforce rebalancing charges in 2013. The company expects to see some of the benefit from these actions in the second half of 2013.

 

Total SG&A expense increased 4.6 percent (6 percent adjusted for currency) in the first six months of 2013 versus the first six months of 2012. The increase was driven by higher base spending (4 points) due to increased workforce rebalancing charges and acquisition-related spending (2 points), partially offset by currency impacts (1 point). Operating (non-GAAP) SG&A expense increased 3.4 percent (5 percent adjusted for currency) primarily driven by the same factors. Bad debt expense increased $33 million for the first six months of 2013. The accounts receivable provision coverage was 1.5 percent at June 30, 2013, an increase of 10 basis points from year-end 2012.

Other (income) and expense was income of $91 million and $132 million in the second quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in income of $41 million in the second quarter of 2013 was primarily driven by lower gains from foreign currency transactions ($27 million) due to foreign currency rate volatility year to year, and lower interest income ($12 million) due to lower average cash balances and lower rates in 2013 versus 2012.

 

Other (income) and expense was income of $151 million and $190 million in the first six months of 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in income of $39 million in the first six months of 2013 was primarily driven by higher losses on derivative instruments ($340 million) and lower interest income ($20 million) due to lower average cash balances and lower rates in 2013 versus 2012. These losses were partially offset by higher gains from foreign currency transactions ($317 million) due to foreign currency rate volatility year to year.

The decrease in interest expense for the second quarter and first six months of 2013 versus the same periods of 2012 was primarily driven by lower average interest rates, partially offset by higher average debt levels. 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 78 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 2013 was $248 million and $491 million, respectively, a decrease of $1 million and $10 million, respectively, year to year.

In the second quarter, total retirement-related plans cost increased by $158 million compared to the second quarter of 2012, primarily driven by an increase in recognized actuarial losses ($247 million) and lower expected return on plan assets ($52 million), partially offset by lower interest cost ($132 million). Total cost for the first six months of 2013 increased $296 million versus the first six months of 2012, primarily driven by an increase in recognized actuarial losses ($510 million) and

lower expected return on plan assets ($94 million), partially offset by lower interest cost ($263 million) and lower defined contribution plans cost ($96 million).

 

As discussed in the “Snapshot” on pages 41 and 42, 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 $444 million, a decrease of $10 million compared to the second quarter of 2012, primarily driven by lower defined contribution plans cost ($26 million), partially offset by higher service cost ($8 million) and decreased amortization of prior service cost credits ($8 million). Non-operating costs of $262 million increased $168 million in the second quarter compared to the prior year driven primarily by an increase in recognized actuarial losses ($247 million) and lower expected return on plan assets ($52 million), partially offset by lower interest cost ($132 million). For the first six months of 2013, operating retirement-related costs were $914 million, a decrease of $53 million compared to the first six months of 2012. This decrease was driven by lower defined contribution plans cost ($96 million), partially offset by higher service cost ($27 million) and decreased amortization of prior service cost credits ($16 million). Non-operating costs of $546 million increased $349 million in the first six months compared to the prior year driven primarily by an increase in recognized actuarial losses ($510 million) and lower expected return on plan assets ($94 million), partially offset by lower interest cost ($263 million).

 

See Note 8, “Retirement-Related Benefits,” on pages 32 to 34 for additional plan cost detail.

 

Taxes

 

The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2013 was 22.1 percent compared to an effective tax rate of 24.8 percent for the second quarter of 2012. The effective tax rates for the six months of 2013 and 2012 were 19.2 percent and 22.8 percent, respectively. The operating (non-GAAP) tax rate for the second quarter of 2013 was 22.0 percent compared to 25.0 percent for the second quarter of 2012. The operating (non-GAAP) tax rate for the first six months of 2013 was 19.8 percent compared to 23.1 percent for the first six months of 2012.

 

The decline in the second quarter tax rate compared to the prior year was primarily due to a favorable tax agreement received in the period 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 decrease in the tax rate for the first six months was driven by the impacts in the second quarter, in addition to benefits reflected in the first quarter of 2013 related to the retroactive impact of the 2012 American Taxpayer Relief Act (approximately $135 million) and newly enacted state legislation (approximately $125 million). The rate for the six months of 2012 reflected a one-time benefit associated with a tax restructuring in Latin America (approximately $165 million).

 

With limited exception, the company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local or non-U.S. income tax audits by taxing authorities for years through 2007. The years subsequent to 2007 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, 2012 increased $57 million in the second quarter of 2013 and decreased $33 million in the first six months of 2013 to $5,639 million. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate was $5,059 million at June 30, 2013.

 

In April 2010, the company appealed the determination of a non-U.S. local taxing authority with respect to certain foreign tax losses. The tax benefit of these losses, approximately $1,207 million, has been included in unrecognized tax benefits. This amount includes the portion of these losses that had been utilized against a prior year liability. In April 2011, the company received notification that the appeal had been denied. In June 2011, the company filed a lawsuit challenging this decision. The company’s latest brief was filed in February 2013, with the next court hearing scheduled for July 2013.

 

At June 30, 2013, the company has recorded $435 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. The company believes it will prevail on these matters and that this amount is not a meaningful indicator of liability.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2011, the IRS commenced its audit of the company’s U.S. tax returns for 2008 through 2010. The company anticipates that this audit will be completed by the end of 2013.

The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding assuming dilution during the second quarter and first six months of 2013 was 52.4 million and 51.3 million shares lower, respectively, than the same periods in 2012, primarily as a result of the company’s common stock repurchase program.

 

Financial Position

 

Dynamics

 

At June 30, 2013, the company’s balance sheet and liquidity positions remain strong to support the business over the long term. Cash and marketable securities at quarter end were $10,356 million and the company had no holdings of European sovereign debt securities. Total debt of $34,122 million increased $853 million from prior year-end levels. The company continues to have substantial flexibility in the market. In the first six months of 2013, the company generated $7,197 million in cash from operations, a decrease of $1,529 million compared to the six months of 2012. The company has consistently generated strong cash flow from operations and continues to have access to additional sources of liquidity through the capital markets and its $10 billion global credit facility. The company’s cash flow and substantial cash position permits the company to invest and deploy capital to areas with the most attractive long-term opportunities.

 

The assets and debt associated with the Global Financing business are a significant part of the company’s financial position.

Global Financing provides financing predominantly for the company’s external client assets, as well as for assets under contract by other IBM units. 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 78.

 

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 39.1 percent at June 30, 2013 compared to 36.1 percent at December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in non-Global Financing debt of $499 million and a decrease in non-Global Financing equity of $1,062 million from December 31, 2012 balances.

 

Consolidated debt-to-capitalization ratio at June 30, 2013 was 65.6 percent versus 63.7 percent at December 31, 2012.

 

Equity

 

Total equity decreased by $1,101 million from December 31, 2012 as a result of an increase in treasury stock of $6,107 million related to gross common stock repurchases in the first six months of 2013, partially offset by an increase in retained earnings of $4,243 million and an increase of $776 million in common stock.

 

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.

 

In May 2010, the company met with investors and introduced a road map for earnings per share in 2015. The objective of the road map for growth is to achieve at least $20 of operating (non-GAAP) earnings per diluted share in 2015. The company has identified the major drivers of financial performance: revenue growth, margin expansion and common stock share repurchase. The revenue growth will come from a combination of base revenue growth, a shift to faster growing businesses and from acquisitions closed between 2010 and 2015. The contribution from margin expansion will be driven by the mix of higher margin businesses and enterprise productivity. The company will also continue to return value to its shareholders, with approximately $50 billion of gross share repurchases and $20 billion of dividends expected during the road map period.

 

In the second quarter of 2013, the company had good performance in its higher margin businesses, including Software and the System z mainframe. The company had continued strong performance in its growth initiatives of Smarter Planet, business analytics and cloud. Global Business Services returned to growth at constant currency, led by Consulting and Systems Integration. Global Services had the strongest backlog growth at constant currency in four years. At the same time, the company took actions to better position the business for the future. The company rebalanced the workforce to align resources to the best opportunities. The company also closed the acquisition of SoftLayer to enhance its capabilities in cloud. In the second half of 2013, the company expects to continue its progress in areas like business analytics, cloud and Smarter Planet. The company also expects to leverage the benefit from its workforce rebalancing activity, capture additional opportunities in cost and expense through net income and continue to return value to its shareholders, while continuing to deal with a more challenging currency environment.

Table of Contents

 

Taking all of this into consideration, in July 2013, the company updated its full year 2013 expectations. As discussed in the Snapshot on page 43, the company is increasing its expectation for full year operating (non-GAAP) diluted earnings per share, excluding the second quarter workforce rebalancing charge of $1 billion, by $0.20 to at least at least $16.90. In addition, since the substantial second half gain that the company was expecting in its “all in” view of diluted earnings per share will not likely close by end of the year, the company has updated its “all in” view for the full year, expecting GAAP earnings per share of at least $15.08 and operating (non-GAAP) earnings per share of at least $16.25.

 

The company is continuing to drive to its objective of at least $20 of operating (non-GAAP) diluted earnings per share in 2015 on an “all in” basis. The company will use the at least $16.90 operating (non-GAAP) earnings per share expectation in 2013 to provide the base for its operational trajectory into 2014. In other words, the company will position its “all in” view as if it closed the divestiture transaction this year to establish its future trajectory, since fundamentally, whether the company executes a large divestiture in 2013 or not will not have any effect on the company’s ability to achieve its 2015 objective.

 

From a segment perspective, the Software business delivered a strong second quarter with constant currency revenue growth of 5 percent, driven by key branded middleware which increased 10 percent adjusted for currency, and share gains in all five brands. The Software business has a very good opportunity pipeline and real momentum going into the second half of the year, and the company expects that the performance in the second quarter is a good indicator of the kind of performance the Software business should deliver in the third quarter. Within Global Services, the estimated backlog increased 3 percent at actual rates, 7 percent at constant currency. In the second quarter, Global Business Services returned to revenue growth at constant currency. The business should benefit from the backlog improvement and the company expects Global Business Services to deliver constant currency revenue growth in the mid single-digits in the third quarter compared to the prior year. Global Technology Services revenue declined 2 percent on a constant currency basis in the second quarter. The actions taken to restructure lower margin outsourcing contracts impacted revenue performance by approximately 1.5 points; adjusting for that impact, revenue was down approximately 0.5 points year to year. The impact from the restructured contracts will be less than 1 point in the third quarter, and with the improved backlog performance, the company expects Global Technology Services to deliver constant currency revenue growth in the low single-digits in the third quarter compared to the third quarter of 2012. Within the Systems and Technology business, the System z mainframe business delivered strong performance in the second quarter with constant currency revenue growth of 11 percent. The company expects the System z business to deliver double-digit constant currency revenue growth in the third quarter. Power Systems improved its revenue performance in the second quarter compared to the first quarter. The company expects the sequential improvement to continue in the second half of 2013, as acceptance of the new Power7+ products continues.  Systems and Technology returned to profitability in the second quarter, excluding workforce rebalancing charges. The company expects the business to remain profitable for the full year.

 

Currency movements impacted the company’s year to year revenue and earnings per share growth in the first half of 2013. Revenue growth in the second quarter and the first half was impacted by 2 points from currency. Looking forward, at current spot rates, the company expects a 3 point impact from currency on reported revenue in the second half of the year. The dollar strengthened against many currencies, but the company’s results continue to be significantly impacted by the depreciation of the Yen. Due to the fact that the company’s business in Japan is more heavily skewed to local services, the company has less ability to hedge cross border cash flows in Japan as compared to most other countries. At current spot rates, this impact would continue through the rest of 2013.

 

The company’s effective tax rates for the second quarter and first six months of 2013 benefitted from the recognition of discrete period tax events. The company expects in the normal course of business that its effective tax rate and operating (non-GAAP) tax rate will be approximately 25 percent for the next two quarters of 2013, and approximately 23 percent for the full year. Looking forward, the company is involved in a number of tax audits and disputes worldwide, including the 2008 through 2010 U.S Federal audit. The company expects to conclude some of these audits and disputes in the second half of 2013 which could result in a favorable settlement in the fourth quarter. The rate will change period to period based on non-recurring events, such as the settlement of income tax audits and changes in tax laws, 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’s free cash flow performance in the first half of 2013 compared to the prior year was impacted by cash tax payments. Going forward, the company expects to face an increasing year to year impact on free cash flow from cash tax payments. This year to year impact, which was approximately $700 million in the first half, is expected to be approximately $2.0 billion for the full year 2013. As a result of this impact, the company does not expect free cash flow to increase year to year compared to the full year 2012. In addition, as a result of these increased tax payments, the company expects its cash tax rate and its effective tax rate will continue to converge on a full year basis for 2013. The company does not expect the cash

tax payments headwind in 2013 to impact its ability to fund the expenditures related to acquisitions, gross share repurchases and dividends through the 2015 roadmap.

 

The economy could impact the credit quality of the company’s receivables, and therefore the allowance for credit losses. The company will continue to apply its rigorous credit policies and analysis, and will also continue to monitor the current economic environment, particularly in Europe. Total receivables in Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain were approximately $2.5 billion, net of allowances, and represented approximately 7 percent of total net trade and financing accounts receivables at June 30, 2013. The company will continue to monitor potential exposures in these countries in conjunction with the application of its credit policies.

 

The company expects 2013 pre-tax retirement-related plan cost to be approximately $2.9 billion, an increase of approximately $500 million compared to 2012. This estimate reflects current pension plan assumptions at December 31, 2012, and excludes any potential impacts from retirement-related plan litigation. Within total retirement-related plan cost, operating retirement-related plan cost is expected to be approximately $1.8 billion, essentially flat versus 2012. Non-operating retirement-related plan cost is expected to be approximately $1.1 billion, an increase of approximately $600 million, compared to 2012.

 

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, 2013, currency changes resulted in assets and liabilities denominated in local currencies being translated into fewer dollars than at year-end 2012. 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 2012 Annual Report in Note D, “Financial Instruments,” on pages 94 to 98.

 

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, particularly the depreciation of the Yen, impacted the company’s year-to-year revenue and earnings per share growth in the first six months of 2013. Based on the currency rate movements in the first six months of 2013, total revenue decreased 4.2 percent as reported and decreased 2.3 percent at constant currency versus the first six months of 2012. 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 $170 million in the first half of 2013. The same mathematical exercise resulted in a decrease of approximately $50 million in the first half of 2012. 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. The SITME rate remained constant throughout 2012 and 2011. 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. This devaluation did not have a material impact given the size of the company’s operations in Venezuela (less than 1 percent of total 2011 and 2012 revenue, respectively).

Table of Contents

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

In the company’s 2012 Annual Report, on pages 56 to 58, there is a discussion of the company’s liquidity including two tables that present five years of data. The table presented on page 56 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, 2013, those amounts are $7.2 billion for net cash from operating activities, $10.4 billion of cash and marketable securities and $10 billion in global credit facilities, respectively.

 

The major rating agencies’ ratings on the company’s debt securities at June 30, 2013 appear in the table below.  The agency ratings remain unchanged from December 31, 2012. The company’s debt securities do not contain any self-executing acceleration clauses which could automatically change the scheduled maturities of the obligation. In addition, 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, 2013, the fair value of those instruments that were in a liability position was $481 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 57 of the company’s 2012 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 67 and 68. The following is management’s view of cash flows for the first six months of 2013 and 2012 prepared in a manner consistent with the table and description on pages 56 and 57 of the company’s 2012 Annual Report:

Free cash flow for the first six months of 2013 decreased $1,147 million versus the first six months of 2012. The decrease was driven by a significant increase in cash tax payments, lower accounts receivable collections and a decline in operational net income, partially offset by lower capital expenditures and a benefit associated with the timing of the company’s funding of its 401(k) Plus Plan. Also, in the first six months of 2013, $8,141 million was returned to shareholders through gross share repurchases and dividends.

 

Events that could temporarily change the historical cash flow dynamics discussed above and in the company’s 2012 Annual Report include significant changes in operating results, material changes in geographic sources of cash, unexpected

adverse impacts from litigation or future pension funding 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 12, “Contingencies,” on pages 37 to 39 of 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 2013. Financial market performance and/or further weakening in the European sovereign debt credit environment in 2013 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. On July 8, 2013, the company completed the acquisition of Softlayer Technologies, Inc., the world’s largest privately held cloud computing infrastructure company for a purchase price of approximately $2 billion.

 

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.

The increase in revenue in the second quarter, as compared to the same period in 2012, was due to:

 

·                  Growth in internal revenue of 11.6 percent, due to an increase in used equipment sales revenue (up 20.5 percent to $477 million), partially offset by a decrease in financing revenue (down 18.0 percent to $98 million); and

 

·                  A decline in external revenue of 5.8 percent (down 4 percent adjusted for currency), due to a decrease in used equipment sales revenue (down 28.4 percent to $112 million), partially offset by an increase in financing revenue (up 4.0 percent to $374 million).

 

The increase in revenue in the first six months, as compared to the same period in 2012, was due to:

 

·                  Growth in internal revenue of 11.6 percent, due to an increase in used equipment sales revenue (up 23.0 percent to $910  million), partially offset by a decrease in financing revenue (down 20.8 percent to $206 million); and

 

·                  A decline in external revenue of 2.1 percent (flat adjusted for currency), due to a decrease in used equipment sales revenue (down 8.7 percent to $232 million).

 

The decreases in internal financing revenue in the second quarter and the first six months of 2013, compared to the same periods in 2012, were due to lower asset yields and a decrease in the average asset balance.  The increase in external financing revenue in the second quarter, compared to the same period in 2012, was due to a higher average asset balance.  For the external financing revenue in the first six months of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, the higher average asset balance was fully offset by lower asset yields and a decrease in remarketing lease revenue.

 

Global Financing gross profit increased 6.6 percent in the second quarter and 6.5 percent in the first six months of 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012, due to an increase in used equipment sales gross profit, partially offset by a decrease in financing gross profit.  The gross profit margin increased 2.4 points in the second quarter and 1.1 points in the first six months of 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012, due to margin increases in used equipment sales and financing, partially offset by shift in mix toward lower margin used equipment sales.

 

Global Financing pre-tax income increased 4.2 percent to $550 million in the second quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, due to higher gross profit ($45 million), partially offset by an increase in financing receivables provisions ($20 million). The increase in financing receivables provisions was due to higher specific reserve requirements in the current year. Pre-tax income increased 4.6 percent to $1,088 million in the first six months of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, due to higher gross profit ($88 million), partially offset by increases in financing receivables provisions ($33 million) and selling, general and administrative expenses ($7 million). The increase in financing receivables provisions was

due to higher specific reserve requirements in the current year. Normalized for workforce rebalancing charges of $2 million in the second quarter of 2013, Global Financing pre-tax income increased 4.5 percent versus the prior year. Normalized for the workforce rebalancing charges in the second quarter of 2013, pre-tax income increased 4.8 percent in the first six months of 2013 compared to the prior year.

 

The decreases in return on equity in the second quarter and in the first six months of 2013, compared to the same periods of 2012, 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 page 24 of the 2012 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.

 

75



Table of Contents

 

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, 2013, substantially all financing assets are IT related assets, and approximately 61 percent of the external portfolio was with investment grade clients with no direct exposure to consumers.

Total new originations exceeded cash collections of commercial financing assets in the second quarter of 2013, which resulted in a net increase in financing assets in this period. Cash collections of both commercial financing and client financing assets exceeded new financing originations in the first six months of 2013, which resulted in a net decline in financing assets from December 31, 2012. The increase in originations in both periods was due to improving volumes in client and commercial financing. 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.

Specific reserves increased 3 percent from $240 million at December 31, 2012 to $248 million at June 30, 2013. Unallocated reserves decreased 16 percent from $115 million at December 31, 2012 to $97 million at June 30, 2013 primarily due to the decline in gross financing receivables.

Global Financing’s bad debt expense was an increase of $15 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to a decrease of $5 million for the same period in 2012. Global Financing’s bad debt expense was an increase of $22 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to a decrease of $10 million for the same period in 2012.  The year-to-year increases in bad debt expense in both periods were due to higher specific reserve requirements in the current year.

 

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 55.6 percent and 54.4 percent of Global Financing’s revenue in the second quarter and first six months, respectively, of 2013, and 53.6 percent and 49.6 percent in the second quarter and first six months, respectively, of 2012. The gross profit margins on these sales were 59.1 percent and 54.5 percent in the second quarter, and 59.0 percent and 56.6 percent in the first six months of 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increases in gross margin in both periods were driven by a shift in mix toward higher margin internal sales, partially offset by decreases in both external and internal sales margins.

 

The table below presents the recorded amount of unguaranteed residual value for sales-type, direct financing and operating leases at January 1, 2013 and June 30, 2013. 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, 2013 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 $96 million and $115 million for the financing transactions originated during the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively, and $226 million and $286 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively. The aggregate asset values associated with the guarantees of direct financing leases were $59 million and $50 million for the financing transactions originated during the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively, and $115 million and $95 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively. The associated aggregate guaranteed future values at the scheduled end of lease were $5 million and $9 million for the financing transactions originated during the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively, and $13 million and $19 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively. The cost of guarantees was $0.5 million and $0.9 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively, and $1.3 million and $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, 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 75.

 

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 74 and in Segment Information on pages 25 to 27.

 

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.

*                 Calculated based upon an estimated tax rate principally based on Global Financing’s geographic mix of earnings as IBM’s provision for income taxes is determined on a consolidated basis.

 

**          Average of the ending equity for Global Financing for the last 2 quarters and 3 quarters, for the three months ended June 30, and for the six months ended June 30, respectively.

 

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 77, 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.
