"In the
fourth quarter, we grew revenue in all of our segments, driven by
continued adoption of our hybrid cloud and AI offerings. Client
demand for AI is accelerating and our book of business for watsonx
and generative AI roughly doubled from the third to the fourth
quarter," said Arvind Krishna, IBM
chairman and chief executive officer. "For the year, revenue growth
was in line with our expectations, and we exceeded our free cash
flow objective. Based on the strength of our portfolio and
demonstrated track record of innovation, for 2024 we expect revenue
performance in line with our mid-single digit model and about
$12 billion in free cash
flow."

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

operating (non-GAAP) earnings per share amounts and related income
statement items;
-

receivables;
-
adjusted

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