Proxy Statement 2007

Dear IBM Investor, I am happy to report to you on a very strong year for our company. In my letter last year, I said that we saw an opportunity to start pulling ahead of the competition. In 2006, we did so, gaining or maintaining market leadership in each of our major businesses, and setting new records in profit, earnings per share and cash performance. What our numbers do not reveal — and what is perhaps IBM’s most notable accomplishment during this period — is that we achieved these results while fundamentally reshaping our company. Whether you look at our technology, strategy, business model, processes or culture, IBM is a very different enterprise today than it was at the beginning of the decade. We have prepared the company for growth and leadership in a radically different future — while continuing to deliver steady results.
