Item 8.01 (Other Events)
During IBM’s investor briefing on February 25, 2016, senior management discussed a number of changes to its management system and organizational structure as it evolves into a cognitive solutions and cloud platform company. These changes, which were effective January 2016, impacted the company’s reportable segments, but did not impact the Consolidated Financial Statements. On March 31, 2016, the company provided additional information about these changes and certain related historical financial data on a Form 8-K and on its Investor Relations website. Previously reported segment information has now been recast for all periods presented in Exhibit 99.1 to reflect the new reporting segments.
Exhibit 99.1 of this Form 8-K contains the Management Discussion, Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Selected Financial Data, and Consent of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. Certain of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements were updated as applicable to reflect the recast contained herein, including Note T, “Segment Information”. Except as specifically set forth in Exhibit 99.1, the information in the attached exhibits do not reflect any other events occurring after IBM filed its Form 10-K on February 23, 2016 for the year ended December 31, 2015. For a discussion of events and developments subsequent to February 23, 2016, please refer to the reports and other information that IBM has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including IBM’s Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2016.
IBM’s web site (www.ibm.com) contains a significant amount of information about IBM, including financial and other information for investors (www.ibm.com/investor/). IBM encourages investors to visit its various web sites from time to time, as information is updated and new information is posted.
