8. Segments:

The following tables reflect the continuing operations results of the company’s segments consistent with the management and measurement system utilized within the company. Effective with the closing of the transaction in July, Red Hat is included in the Cloud & Cognitive Software segment. The “Other” segment includes the divested mortgage servicing and select software businesses. 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 segments recast for the prior-year period due to the company’s segment changes effective January 2019.
