8. Segments:

In the first quarter of 2019, the company made a number of changes to its organizational structure and management system that brought cloud and cognitive software under one organization to more effectively address evolving client needs and to prepare for the acquisition of Red Hat, Inc. (Red Hat). With these changes, the company has revised its reportable segments, but did not impact its Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, the company is presenting the results of its announced divestitures in an “Other” segment, as the realignment of these businesses allows for a better representation of management’s view of the company, as well as the ongoing operational performance of the reportable segments. The company’s segments are as follows:

The tables below reflect the continuing operations results of the company’s segments consistent with the management and measurement system utilized within the company. Performance measurement is based on operating pre-tax income from continuing operations. The segments represent components of the company for which separate financial information is available that is utilized on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker (the chief executive officer) in determining how to allocate resources and evaluate performance. The tables reflect the segment recast for the prior-year period.
