Segment revenue and profit are directly reported management-view measures. Each segment's operating burden is an exact revenue-minus-segment-profit residual. The four displayed segment profits add to $3,299M while IBM reports a rounded $3,300M total; the flow therefore uses the exact component sum and a $1,912M bridge to reported pretax income. Other revenue is omitted from the segment-profit flow.
Labels and narrative explain the filing. A category marked “arithmetic bridge” or “residual” is calculated from reported totals, rather than a separately reported line.
