IBM reported total revenue of $15,917 million in Q1 2026, up from $14,541 million in the prior-year period, with net income rising to $1,216 million and free cash flow reaching $2.22 billion — an increase of $258 million year over year. Total debt stood at $66.4 billion as of March 31, 2026, up $5.1 billion year to date, against a cash, restricted cash, and marketable securities position of $11.8 billion, which declined $2.6 billion from year-end 2025. The balance sheet reflects the recently completed acquisition of Confluent, Inc. for approximately $11.6 billion in total consideration, which added $7.2 billion in goodwill and $3.8 billion in acquired intangibles to total assets of $156.2 billion. The company's 10-K filing identifies a range of business, regulatory, and financial risks, though the source material does not provide specifics on those disclosures beyond their general categories. IBM carried **$66.4 billion** in total debt as of March 31, 2026—up $5.1 billion from year-end 2025—against $11.8 billion in cash, restricted cash, and marketable securities, a decline of $2.6 billion from the prior quarter-end, largely reflecting the $11.6 billion cash outlay for the Confluent acquisition. That deal added $7.2 billion in goodwill and $3.8 billion in acquired intangibles to the balance sheet, increasing the proportion of intangible assets relative to total assets of $156.2 billion. On the earnings side, Q1 2026 revenue rose to $15.9 billion from $14.5 billion a year earlier, net income increased to $1.2 billion, and free cash flow grew by $258 million year over year to $2.2 billion, providing some offset to the elevated debt load. IBM's 10-K filed February 2026 identifies business, regulatory, and financial risks—including those tied to debt obligations and acquisition integration—as material factors disclosed to investors.
