IBM营收连续第11季度下滑

IBM reported a decline in revenues for the 11th consecutive quarter on Tuesday, as it tries to divest unprofitable businesses and focus on cloud computing, big data and cyber security.IBM周二称之为，在之后重组业务之际，其营收倒数第11个季度上升。该公司正在希望挤压盈利较好的业务，并将主要精力放到云计算、大数据和网络安全上。The New York-listed company said revenue had fallen 12 per cent to $24.1bn in the fourth quarter, compared to the same period the year before, lower than the average analyst estimate of $24.8bn.这家在纽约上市的企业回应，2014年第四季度，该公司营收同比上升12%，跌到至241亿美元，也高于248亿美元的分析师平均值预期。

Fourth-quarter earnings were down 6 per cent to $5.81 per share on a non-GAAP basis, beating the average prediction of $5.41 per share. Earnings per share on a GAAP basis were $5.54 and net income was $5.5bn, down 17 per cent.按非普遍认为会计准则(GAAP)计，该公司第四季度盈利暴跌6%，降到每股5.81美元，低于每股5.41美元的平均值预期。按普遍认为会计准则计算出来，该公司净收入为55亿美元，每股盈利5.54美元，上升17%。For 2015, the company forecast a rise in earnings per share to between $15.75 and $16.50, slightly below the average analyst forecast of $16.51 because of investment costs and currency headwinds.IBM预计，2015年该公司每股盈利将升到15.75美元到16.5美元之间。

由于投资成本及汇率方面的不利因素，上述预期略低于16.51美元的分析师平均值预期。Despite the overall decline last year, Ginni Rometty, IBM chairman and chief executive, said the company’s “strategic” businesses of cloud, analytics, mobile, social and security grew 16 per cent in 2014 to represent 27 per cent of revenue. These businesses are forecast to grow in double digits next year, the company said.不过，尽管去年IBM总体营收经常出现下降，该公司董事长兼任首席执行官罗睿兰(Ginni Rometty)回应，去年它的云计算业务、分析业务、移动业务、社交网络业务及安全性业务等“战略性”业务快速增长了16%，占到全部营收的27%。该公司预计明年这部分业务将经常出现两位数快速增长。

“We are making significant progress in our transformation, continuing to shift IBM’s business to higher value, and investing and positioning ourselves for the longer term,” she said.罗睿兰回应：“我们在转型方面获得了巨大进步。我们之后令IBM改向价值更高的业务，并在投资和定位上更加侧重长年。”Revenue from its mobile business was up over 200 per cent, cloud computing rose 60 per cent, security added 19 per cent and analytics increased by 7 per cent.IBM移动业务的营收快速增长了两倍以上，云计算业务快速增长60%，网络安全快速增长19%，分析业务则快速增长7%。

The hardware business led the declines, down 39 per cent, or 12 per cent excluding a divestment and on a constant currency basis.在营收下降的业务中，硬件业务首当其冲，暴跌39%。在刨除资产挤压因素之后，以恒定汇率计算出来，该部门营收暴跌12%。
