                          IBM CFO:Full-Yr Earnings,Rev, Analyst View 'Reasonable'-2



                          During the conference call, CFO Loughridge said he was "very pleased" with IBM's results in the second-quarter. He said Big Blue's balance sheet remains strong at $8.2 billion.

                          Going into IBM's earnings report, nervousness abounded among tech investors, who feared a rash of software earnings warnings, coupled with excess inventory at Intel Corp. (INTC), would spread to Big Blue.

                          Analysts tried to alleviate those fears in recent days, saying IBM should meet analysts views, largely because of its multiple units that have recurring revenue streams. For instance, 60% of IBM's software revenue comes from monthly subscriptions. Not to mention its services business, which enabled it to weather the tech wreck.

                          For the second-quarter, IBM reported net income of $1.99 billion, or $1.16 a share, up from net income of $1.71 billion, or 97 cents a share, in the year ago second quarter. The company benefited from strength in servers and favorable currency-exchange rates.

                          Revenue came in at $23.15 billion, up 7% from $21.63 billion a year ago. Analyst had expected IBM to weigh in with earnings of $1.12 a share and revenue of $23.35 billion.

                          According to Loughridge, IBM's global services business will see year-to-year revenue and margin improvement for the second-half of the year. He noted that IBM's services backlog stands at $118 billion and the pipeline of short-term and long-term contracts is "solid" for the rest of the year.

                          In the case of its software unit, Loughridge said that business will see "modest" but positive growth in the third quarter, while its technology unit will post a pro forma profit in 2004.

                          As for Apple Computer Inc.'s (APPL) comments that a manufacturing problem at IBM delayed Apple's new line of iMacs, Loughridge pointed out that Apple's chip is just one of hundreds of chips that Big Blue manufactures.

                          "We do hundreds of different chips in microelectronics. We are meeting customer commitments except for one chip," he said. Loughridge noted that the chip it produces for Apple is "truly leading edge" with only two companies manufacturing the chip.

                          In after-hours action, shares of IBM were trading at $84.50, slightly higher than its regular session close of $84.02
