Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

These statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and, in accordance with those rules and regulations, do not include all information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Teradata Corporation ("Teradata" or the "Company") for the interim periods presented herein. The year-end 2023 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may vary from these estimates.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Teradata’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the "2023 Annual Report"). The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures." This standard requires disclosure of significant segment expenses and other segment items by reportable segment. This ASU becomes effective for annual periods beginning in 2024 and interim periods in 2025. We are assessing the impact of this ASU and upon adoption expect that any impact would be limited to additional segment expense disclosures in the footnotes to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." This standard enhances disclosures related to income taxes, including the rate reconciliation and information on income taxes paid. This ASU becomes effective January 1, 2025. We are assessing the impact of this ASU and upon adoption may be required to include certain additional disclosures in the footnotes to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Rental revenue*	$	55	$	51

*Rental revenue includes hardware maintenance.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, contract assets, and customer advances and deposits (deferred revenue or contract liabilities) on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Accounts receivable include amounts due from customers that are unconditional. Contract assets relate to the Company’s rights to consideration for goods delivered or services completed and recognized as revenue but billing and the right to receive payment is conditional upon the completion of other performance obligations. Contract assets are included in other current assets on the balance sheet and are transferred to accounts receivable when the rights become unconditional. Deferred revenue consists of advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized. Deferred revenue is classified as either current or noncurrent based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize revenue. These assets and liabilities are reported on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.

Table of Contents

The following table provides information about receivables, contract assets and deferred revenue from contracts with customers:


	As of
in millions	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
Accounts receivable, net	$	311	$	286
Contract assets	$	11	$	9
Current deferred revenue	$	573	$	570
Long-term deferred revenue	$	13	$	22

Revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024 from amounts included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period was $150 million.

Transaction Price Allocated to Unsatisfied Obligations

The following table includes estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to the Company's unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) obligations at March 31, 2024:


in millions	Total at March 31, 2024		Year 1		Year 2 and Thereafter



Remaining unsatisfied obligations	$	2,401	$	1,380	$	1,021

The amounts above represent the price of firm orders for which work has not been performed or goods have not been delivered and exclude unexercised contract options outside the stated contractual term that do not represent material rights to the customer. Although the Company believes that the contract value in the above table is firm, approximately $1,297 million of the amount is under contracts that are subject to customer-only general cancellation for convenience terms that the Company is contractually obligated to perform unless the customer notifies us of cancellation. The Company expects to recognize revenue of approximately $582 million in the next year from contracts that are non-cancelable. The Company believes the inclusion of this information is important to understanding the obligations that the Company is contractually required to perform and provides useful information regarding remaining obligations related to these executed contracts.

4. Contract Costs

The Company capitalizes sales commissions and other contract costs that are incremental direct costs of obtaining customer contracts if the expected amortization period of the asset is greater than one year. These costs are recorded in capitalized contract costs, net on the Company’s balance sheet. The capitalized amounts are calculated based on the annual recurring revenue and contract value for individual multi-term contracts. The judgments made in determining the amount of costs incurred include whether the commissions are in fact incremental and would not have occurred absent the customer contract. Costs to obtain a contract are amortized as selling, general and administrative expenses on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit, which is typically around four years. These costs are periodically reviewed for impairment. The following table identifies the activity relating to capitalized contract costs:


in millions	December 31, 2023		Capitalized		Amortization		March 31, 2024
Capitalized contract costs	$	68	$	—	$	(9)	$	59


in millions	December 31, 2022		Capitalized		Amortization		March 31, 2023

Argentina Blue Chip Swap Transaction

The Central Bank of Argentina maintains currency controls that limit our ability to access U.S. dollars in Argentina and remit cash from our Argentine operations. There is a foreign exchange mechanism known as Blue Chip Swaps, which effectively results in a parallel U.S. dollar exchange rate. During February of 2024, we entered into a Blue Chip Swap transaction in order to remit cash from our Argentine operations that resulted in a pre-tax loss on investment of $2 million during the first quarter of 2024.

6. Income Taxes

Income tax provisions for interim periods are based on estimated annual income tax rates, adjusted to reflect the effects of any significant infrequent or unusual items which are required to be discretely recognized within the current interim period. The Company expects that a majority of its foreign earnings will be repatriated back to the United States ("U.S."). As a result, the effective tax rates in the periods presented are largely based upon the forecasted pre-tax earnings mix and allocation of certain expenses in various taxing jurisdictions where the Company conducts its business.

The effective tax rate is as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
In millions	2024		2023
Effective tax rate	37.5	%	31.0	%

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded $1 million of net discrete tax expense, a majority of which related to additional tax expense from stock-based compensation vesting.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded $2 million of net discrete tax benefits, a majority of which related to the excess tax benefit derived from stock-based compensation vesting.

Table of Contents

jurisdictions in which we operate, referred to as "Pillar Two" of the Global Anti-Base Erosion rules framework that was undertaken by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD"). We are continuing to monitor developments and evaluate the impacts of the Pillar Two rules, however, as of the date of this Report on Form 10-Q, we do not expect the Pillar Two rules to have a material impact to our annual effective tax rate.

The Company estimates its annual effective tax rate for 2024 to be approximately 26.0%, which takes into consideration, among other things, the forecasted earnings mix by jurisdiction and the impact of discrete tax items to be recognized in 2024. Under U.S. tax law, U.S. shareholders are subject to a tax on global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. The Company has elected to provide for the tax expense related to GILTI in the year in which the tax is incurred. Effective on January 1, 2022, the U.S. tax law changed and now requires R&D expenses to be capitalized and amortized for tax purposes under Internal Revenue Code Section 174, which increases the Company's GILTI tax liability. The Company is currently forecasting approximately $3 million of tax expense related to GILTI in our marginal effective tax rate for 2024.

7. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

As a portion of Teradata’s operations is conducted outside the U.S. and in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the Company is exposed to potential gains and losses from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In an attempt to mitigate the impact of currency fluctuations, the Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge transactional exposures resulting predominantly from foreign currency denominated inter-company receivables and payables. The forward contracts are designated as fair value hedges of specified foreign currency denominated inter-company receivables and payables and generally mature in three months or less. The fair values of foreign exchange contracts are based on market spot and forward exchange rates and represent estimates of possible value that may not be realized in the future. Across its portfolio of contracts, Teradata has both long and short positions relative to the U.S. dollar. As a result, Teradata’s net exposure is less than the total contract notional amount of the Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts.

Gains and losses from foreign exchange forward contracts are fully recognized each period and reported along with the offsetting gain or loss of the related hedged item, either in cost of revenues, operating expenses or in other income (expense), depending on the nature of the related hedged item.

During June 2022, Teradata entered into a cross-currency swap designated as a net investment hedge, to hedge the Euro currency exposure of its net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries. This agreement is a contract to exchange fixed-rate payments in one currency for fixed-rate payments in another currency. Changes in the fair value of this swap are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss in the same manner as foreign currency translation adjustments. In assessing the effectiveness of this hedge, the Company used a method based on changes in spot rates to measure the impact of the foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on both its foreign subsidiary net investment and the related swap.

The cross-currency swap contract has an expiration date of June 29, 2026. At maturity of the cross-currency swap contract, the Company will deliver the notional amount of €143 million and will receive $150 million from the counterparty. The Company will receive monthly interest payments from the counterparty based on a fixed interest rate until maturity of the agreements.

In June 2022, Teradata refinanced its long-term debt and its associated interest rate swap ("Prior Interest Rate Swap"), which were due to mature in June 2023. As a result, Teradata terminated its five-year London Interbank Offered Rate ("Libor") interest rate swap that had a $500 million initial notional amount to hedge the floating interest rate of its Libor term loan. On June 28, 2022, Teradata executed a five-year Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") interest rate swap, to fix the interest rate on approximately 90% of the principal balance of the $500 million term loan, with an initial notional amount of $450 million. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risks on future interest payments caused by interest rate changes on its variable rate term loan. The notional amount of the hedge steps down according to the amortization schedule of the term loan. The notional amount of the hedge was $450 million as of March 31, 2024.

The Company performed an initial effectiveness assessment on the interest rate swap and the net investment hedge foreign currency swap, and the hedges were determined to be effective. The hedges are being evaluated qualitatively on a quarterly basis for effectiveness. Changes in fair value are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive

Table of Contents

Loss and periodic settlements of the swap will be recorded in interest expense along with the interest on amounts outstanding under the term loan.

The following table identifies the contract notional amount of the Company’s derivative financial instruments:


	As of
In millions	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
Contract notional amount of foreign exchange forward contracts	$	34	$	178
Net contract notional amount of foreign exchange forward contracts	$	3	$	1
Contract notional amount of foreign currency exchange (net investment hedge)	$	150	$	150
Contract notional amount of interest rate swap	$	450	$	450

All derivatives are recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at their fair value. The notional amounts represent agreed-upon amounts on which calculations of dollars to be exchanged are based and are an indication of the extent of Teradata’s involvement in such instruments. These notional amounts do not represent amounts exchanged by the parties and, therefore, are not a measure of the instruments. Refer to Note 9 for disclosures related to the fair value of all derivative assets and liabilities.

The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes, nor does it hold or issue leveraged derivative instruments. By using derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in foreign exchange and interest rates, the Company exposes itself to credit risk. The Company manages exposure to counterparty credit risk by entering into derivative financial instruments with highly rated institutions that can be expected to fully perform under the terms of the applicable contracts.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings. In the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to proceedings, lawsuits, governmental investigations, claims and other matters, including those that relate to the environment, health and safety, employee benefits, export compliance, intellectual property, tax matters, shareholder matters, and other regulatory compliance and general matters. It is not currently a party to any litigation, nor is it aware of any pending or threatened litigation against it that the Company believes would materially affect its business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows, other than the following.

On June 19, 2018, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries filed a lawsuit (the "TD-SAP 1" suit) in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against SAP SE, SAP America, Inc., and SAP Labs, LLC (collectively, "SAP"). In the TD-SAP 1 lawsuit, the Company alleged, among other things, that SAP misappropriated certain of the Company’s trade secrets within the Company’s enterprise data analytics and warehousing products and used such trade secrets to help develop, improve, introduce, and sell one or more competing products. The Company further alleged that SAP employed anticompetitive practices using its substantial market position in the enterprise resource planning applications market to pressure the Company’s customers and prospective customers to use one or more of SAP's competing products and reduce or eliminate customers' and prospective customers' use of the Company's offerings. The Company sought an injunction barring SAP’s alleged conduct, monetary damages, and other available legal and equitable relief. In July 2019, SAP filed patent infringement counterclaims against the Company based on five of SAP’s U.S. patents. On August 31, 2020, the Company filed a second lawsuit against SAP (the "TD-SAP 2" suit) in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, in which the Company alleged infringement by SAP of four of the Company's U.S. patents. On February 16, 2021, SAP filed additional patent infringement counterclaims against the Company in response. On the same day, SAP also filed a lawsuit in Germany (the "TD-SAP 3" suit) for infringement of a single German patent. In November 2021, the district court dismissed the Company’s antitrust claims and most of its trade secret claims in the TD-SAP 1 suit. In December 2021, the Company appealed that decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C. That Court ruled the appeal should be heard by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals; the appeal was transferred to the Ninth Circuit and the court heard oral arguments on February 12, 2024, and the parties are awaiting the Court's ruling. In the meantime, the Company and SAP have entered into a partial settlement agreement that has resulted in full dismissal of all claims and counterclaims in the TD-SAP 2 suit in California and the TD-SAP 3 suit in Germany as well as a stay of all claims and counterclaims remaining in the TD-SAP 1 suit pending resolution of the Company’s appeal. Currently, it is not possible to determine the likelihood of a loss or a reasonably estimated range of loss, if any, pertaining to any of SAP’s remaining patent counterclaims in the TD-SAP 1 lawsuit.

Other Contingencies. The Company provides its customers with certain indemnification rights. In general, the Company agrees to indemnify the customer if a third party asserts patent or other infringement on the part of the customer for its use of the Company’s offerings. The Company has indemnification obligations under its charter and bylaws to its officers and directors, and has entered into indemnification agreements with the officers and directors of its subsidiaries. From time to time, the Company also enters into agreements in connection with its acquisition and divestiture activities that include indemnification obligations by the Company. The fair value of these indemnification obligations is typically not readily determinable due to the conditional nature of the Company’s potential obligations and the specific facts and circumstances involved with each particular agreement. As such, the Company has generally not recorded a liability in connection with these indemnification arrangements. Historically, payments made by the Company under these types of agreements have not had a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Concentrations of Risk. The Company is potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk on accounts receivable and financial instruments such as hedging instruments, and cash and cash equivalents. Credit risk includes the risk of nonperformance by counterparties. The maximum potential loss may exceed the amount recognized on the balance sheet. Exposure to credit risk is managed through credit approvals, credit limits, selecting major international financial institutions (as counterparties to hedging transactions) and monitoring procedures. Teradata’s business often involves large transactions with customers, and if one or more of those customers were to default in its obligations under applicable contractual arrangements, the Company could be exposed to potentially significant losses. However, management believes that the reserves for potential losses were adequate at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Table of Contents

The Company is also potentially subject to concentrations of supplier risk. Our hardware components are assembled primarily by Flex Ltd. ("Flex"). Flex procures a wide variety of components used in the manufacturing process on behalf of the Company. Although many of these components are available from multiple sources, Teradata utilizes preferred supplier relationships to provide more consistent and optimal quality, cost and delivery. Typically, these preferred suppliers maintain alternative processes and/or facilities to ensure continuity of supply. Given the Company’s strategy to outsource its manufacturing activities to Flex and to source certain components from single suppliers, a disruption in production at Flex or at a supplier could impact the timing of customer shipments and/or Teradata’s operating results. In addition, a significant change in the forecasts to any of these preferred suppliers could result in purchase obligations for components that may be in excess of demand.

9. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements are established utilizing a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2, defined as significant other observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or quoted prices in less-active markets for identical assets; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include money market funds, interest rate swaps, foreign currency swaps and foreign currency exchange contracts. A portion of the Company’s excess cash reserves are held in money market funds which generate interest income based on the prevailing market rates. Money market funds are included in cash and cash equivalents in the Company’s balance sheet. Money market fund holdings are measured at fair value using quoted market prices and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.

When deemed appropriate, the Company minimizes its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates through the use of derivative financial instruments, specifically, foreign exchange forward contracts. Additionally, in June 2022, Teradata executed a five-year interest rate swap with a $450 million initial notional amount in order to hedge the variable interest rate on its term loan and a four-year cross-currency swap with initial notional amounts of €143 million/$150 million, as a net investment hedge to hedge the Euro currency exposure of our net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries. The fair value of these contracts and swaps are measured at the end of each interim reporting period using observable inputs other than quoted prices, specifically market spot and forward exchange rates. As such, these derivative instruments are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Fair value of unrealized gains for open contracts are recorded in other assets and the fair value of unrealized losses are recorded in other liabilities in the Company's balance sheet. The fair value of foreign exchange forward contract assets and liabilities at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was not material. Realized gains and losses from the Company’s fair value and net investment hedges net of corresponding gains or losses on the underlying exposures were immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

The Company’s other assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and subject to fair value disclosure requirements at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows:

10. Debt

On June 28, 2022, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement that provides for (i) a five-year unsecured term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $500 million (the "Term Loan"), and (ii) a five-year unsecured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $400 million, including a $50 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $50 million sublimit for swingline loans (the "Revolving Facility" and, collectively with the Term Loan, the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility replaces the Company's prior revolving credit agreement in the maximum principal of $400 million and its prior term loan agreement in the initial principal amount of $500 million, both of which were entered into in 2018 (the "Prior Agreements"). In connection with the execution of the Credit Facility, the $400 million term loan outstanding under the Prior Agreements was repaid in full.

All outstanding borrowings pursuant to the Revolving Facility are due and payable on June 28, 2027, however, the maturity date of the Revolving Facility may be extended by agreement of the parties for up to two additional one-year periods. The Term Loan is payable in quarterly installments, which commence on June 30, 2024, with 1.25% of the initial principal amount due on each of the first twelve payment dates, with all remaining principal due on June 28, 2027. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, Teradata from time to time and subject to certain conditions may increase the lending commitments under the Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount up to an additional $450 million, to the extent that existing or new lenders agree to provide such additional commitments. The outstanding principal amount of the Credit Facility bears interest at a floating rate based upon, at Teradata’s option, a negotiated base rate or an adjusted term SOFR rate, plus in each case, a margin based on the Company's leverage ratio. As disclosed in Note 7, in June 2022, Teradata entered into an interest rate swap to hedge approximately 90% (or $450 million as of March 31, 2024) of the floating interest rate of the total $500 million Term Loan and a cross currency swap to hedge a portion of Euro currency exposure of its net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries.

The Credit Facility is unsecured but is guaranteed by certain of Teradata’s material domestic subsidiaries and contains certain customary representations and warranties, default provisions, and affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, covenants regarding the maintenance of a leverage ratio and covenants relating to financial reporting, compliance with laws, subsidiary indebtedness, liens, sale and leaseback transactions, mergers and other fundamental changes, and entry into certain restrictive agreements. Most of the covenants are subject to materiality, thresholds, and exceptions. On September 21, 2023, the Credit Agreement was amended to establish key performance indicators with respect to certain environmental, social, and governance ("ESG") targets, pursuant to which certain positive or negative adjustments would be made to various fees and applicable margin based on Teradata’s performance against such ESG targets.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Facility, leaving $400 million in borrowing capacity available under the Revolving Facility and the Term Loan principal outstanding

Table of Contents

was $500 million. The Term Loan is recognized on the Company's balance sheet at the unpaid principal balance, net of deferred issuance costs, and is not subject to fair value measurement. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility as of March 31, 2024.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, the blended all-in interest rate on the Credit Facility was 4.31% and 4.26%, respectively.

11. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reported period. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share, except that the weighted average number of shares outstanding includes the dilution from potential shares resulting from stock options, restricted stock awards and other stock awards. The components of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
In millions, except per share amounts	2024		2023
Net income attributable to common stockholders	$	20	$	40
Weighted average outstanding shares of common stock	97.4		101.4
Dilutive effect of employee stock options, restricted stock and other stock awards	2.7		2.4
Common stock and common stock equivalents	100.1		103.8
Net income per share:
Basic	$	0.21	$	0.39
Diluted	$	0.20	$	0.39

Options to purchase 0.2 million shares in the three months ended March 31, 2023 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise prices of these options were greater than the average market price of the common shares for the period, and therefore would have been anti-dilutive. There were no anti-dilutive options excluded for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

12. Segment and Other Supplemental Information

Teradata manages its business under three geographic regions, which are also the Company’s operating segments: (1) Americas region (North America and Latin America); (2) EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and (3) APJ region (Asia Pacific and Japan). For purposes of discussing results by segment, management excludes the impact of certain items, consistent with the manner by which management evaluates the performance of each segment. This format is useful to investors because it allows analysis and comparability of operating trends. It also includes the same information that is used by Teradata management to make decisions regarding the segments and to assess financial performance. The chief operating decision maker, who is the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the performance of the segments based on revenue and multiple profit measures, including segment gross profit. For management reporting purposes, assets are not allocated to the segments.

Overview

At Teradata Corporation ("we," "us," "Teradata," or the "Company"), we believe that people thrive when empowered with trusted information. We are focused on helping organizations improve business performance, enrich customer experiences, and integrate data across the enterprise. As such, we strive to innovate and deliver trusted solutions for their toughest data and analytics challenges. That is why we built our comprehensive open and connected cloud analytics and data platform for artificial intelligence ("AI"). With our Teradata Vantage platform, underpinned by our extensive patented workload management optimization, we are well positioned to help enterprises solve business problems and deliver business breakthroughs with its capabilities to provide harmonized data, trusted AI, and faster innovation. As a result, we believe that we empower our customers - and our customers' customers - to make better, more confident decisions, engage in faster innovation, and drive positive impact within the enterprise.

Teradata is recognized by industry analysts as offering a cloud analytics and data platform with next-generation, cloud-native deployment and expansive analytics capabilities. We believe we are differentiated by providing our analytics and data platform offering across a secure, multi-cloud ecosystem. Our differentiated approach spans deployments in the top public cloud service provider platforms of AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, as well as private cloud platform instances, on-premises, and hybrid environments.

We are continuing to execute on our key priorities, including supporting our on-premises customers, migrating customers to the cloud, upgrading customers from VantageCloud Enterprise to VantageCloud Lake, expanding our Teradata Vantage analytics and data platform product offering (which includes VantageCloud Enterprise, VantageCloud Lake, and ClearScape Analytics), adding new customers and expanding our footprint with existing customers, informing our customers of our AI capabilities, increasing our focus on diversity and inclusiveness, and driving operational excellence and agility across the Company.

To allow for greater transparency regarding the progress we are making toward achieving our strategic objectives, we utilize the following financial and performance metrics:

•Annual Recurring Revenue ("ARR") - annual value at a point in time of recurring contracts.

•Total Annual Recurring Revenue ("Total ARR") - annual value at a point in time of all recurring contracts, including subscription, cloud, software upgrade rights, and maintenance. Total ARR does not include managed services and third-party software.

•Public Cloud ARR (included within Total ARR) - annual value at a point in time of all contracts related to public cloud implementations of Teradata VantageCloud and does not include ARR related to private or managed cloud implementations.

•Cloud Net Expansion Rate - Teradata calculates its last-twelve months dollar-based cloud net expansion rate as of a fiscal quarter end as follows:

◦We identify the ARR for active cloud customers in the fiscal quarter ending one year prior to the given fiscal quarter (the "base period");

◦We then identify the Public Cloud ARR in the given fiscal quarter (the "current period") from the same set of active cloud customers as the base period, including increases in usage, as well as reductions and cancellations, and additional conversions of on-premises revenues to the cloud for customers active in the base period, all in constant currency; and

◦The quarterly dollar-based, Cloud Net Expansion Rate is calculated by taking the ARR from the current period and dividing by the ARR from the base period.

The last twelve-month dollar-based cloud net expansion rate is calculated by taking the average of the quarterly dollar-based cloud net expansion rate from the last fiscal quarter and the prior three fiscal quarters.

First Quarter Financial Overview

As more fully discussed in later sections of this MD&A, the following were significant financial items for the first quarter of 2024:

•At the end of the first quarter of 2024, ARR was $1.480 billion compared to $1.506 billion in the first quarter of 2023, decreasing 2% as compared to the first quarter of 2023, including a 1% negative impact from foreign currency translation.

•At the end of the first quarter of 2024, Public Cloud ARR was $525 million compared to $388 million in the first quarter of 2023, increasing 35% as compared to the first quarter of 2023, including a 1% negative impact from foreign currency fluctuations.

•Total revenue was $465 million for the first quarter of 2024, a 2% decrease compared to the first quarter of 2023, with flat recurring revenue results. Perpetual software licenses, hardware and other revenue decreased 38%, and consulting services revenue decreased 7%. Foreign currency fluctuations had a 1% adverse impact on total revenue for the quarter compared to the prior year.

•Gross margin decreased to 61.1% in the first quarter of 2024 from 63.4% in the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to a revenue mix with a higher percentage of Public Cloud revenue, offset in part by improving margin rates of Public Cloud revenue as compared to the first quarter of 2023.

•Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2024 increased 6% compared to the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to higher stock compensation and reorganization expenses in the first quarter of 2024.

•Operating income was $48 million in the first quarter of 2024, compared to $79 million in the first quarter of 2023.

•Net income in the first quarter of 2024 was $20 million, compared to $40 million in the first quarter of 2023.

•Cloud Net Expansion Rate for the first quarter of 2024 was 123%, compared to 119% for the first quarter of 2023.

Consulting services	69		14.8	%	74		15.6	%
Total revenue	$	465	100	%	$	476	100	%

Total revenue decreased $11 million, or 2%, in the first quarter of 2024, including a 1% negative impact from foreign currency fluctuations. Recurring revenue was flat as compared to the first quarter of 2023 and included a 1% negative impact from foreign currency fluctuations. The recurring revenue growth rate for the first quarter of 2024 also included a negative 3% impact from lower annual upfront software subscription revenue associated with on-premises subscription software as compared to the prior-year period as we continue our strategy of migrating on-premises customers to the cloud and specific on-premises erosions. Revenues from perpetual software licenses, hardware and other decreased 38%, or $5 million in the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to the timing of deals and a low overall volume from this revenue category, as aligned with our strategic shift towards recurring revenue. Consulting services revenue decreased 7% in the first quarter of 2024, including a 5% negative impact from foreign currency fluctuations. In addition, due to its association to movements in new and existing customer workloads, the consulting services revenue was also negatively impacted by the decrease in Total ARR in the period, as well as the wind-down of direct operations in China.

Financial and Performance Measures

Our Total ARR is composed of three main categories: (1) Public Cloud ARR, (2) ARR related to on-premises subscription-based contracts and private cloud ("Subscription ARR"), and (3) ARR related to our legacy perpetual maintenance and software upgrade rights. At March 31, 2024 and 2023 our Total ARR consisted of:


In millions	2024			2023
Public Cloud	$	525		$	388
Subscription	816			859
Maintenance and Software upgrade rights	139			259
Total ARR	$	1,480		$	1,506

Cloud Net Expansion rate	123		%	119		%

At the end of the first quarter of 2024, Total ARR decreased 2% as compared to the first quarter of 2023, including a 1% negative impact from foreign currency fluctuations. At the end of the first quarter of 2024, Public Cloud ARR increased 35% as compared to the first quarter of 2023, including a 1% negative impact from foreign currency fluctuations. Public Cloud ARR grew in all three geographic regions year-over-year. Public Cloud ARR growth in the first quarter of 2024 was driven by greater market awareness and customer demand of Teradata VantageCloud, our public cloud offering. The decreases in subscription ARR and maintenance and software upgrade rights ARR were partially driven by customer migrations to Cloud ARR, and partially caused by specific on-premises erosions.

In the first quarter of 2024, we experienced the following continuing trends as compared to the first quarter of 2023:

•Increasing number of existing cloud customers who are adding new, incremental workloads to the cloud.

•Customers expanding into additional cloud capabilities when they migrate to VantageCloud as compared to the capabilities they had in an on-premises environment.

•Existing on-premises customers adding new, incremental cloud workloads when expanding into hybrid environments.

Table of Contents

•Elongated deal closing cycles that have resulted in anticipated deals moving to future quarters.

As a portion of the Company’s operations and revenue occur outside the United States, and in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Based on currency rates as of April 30, 2024, Teradata is now estimating a 2.0%-to-2.5% negative impact from currency translation on our 2024 full-year total reported revenues.

We expect to see expansion as the primary contributor for Total ARR growth in 2024 and expansion and migration as the primary contributors for Public Cloud ARR growth in 2024.

Total gross profit	$	284	61.1	%	$	302	63.4	%

The decrease in recurring revenue gross profit as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to a higher mix of cloud revenues versus on-premises revenue as compared to the prior-year period, offset in part by continued expansion in our cloud margin rate. Recurring revenue gross margin was also negatively impacted by decreased annual upfront software subscription revenue associated with on-premises subscription software during the period and specific on-premises erosions.

The decrease in perpetual software licenses, hardware and other gross profit as a percentage of revenue was primarily driven by deal mix and the timing of revenue.

Consulting services gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased somewhat as compared to the prior year primarily due to the decrease in revenue as compared to the prior-year period.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses	$	236	50.8	%	$	223	46.8	%

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense increased year over year due to higher stock compensation and reorganization costs partially off-set by continued cost discipline focused on cost reductions across the Company. Research and development ("R&D") expense increased year over year primarily due to increased spending on cloud development, including AI/ML capabilities.

Other expense, net	$	(16)	$	(21)

Other expense, net in the first quarter of 2024 and 2023 is comprised primarily of interest expense on long-term debt and finance leases, losses resulting from foreign currency transactions, as well as benefit costs on our pension and postemployment plans, partially offset by interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents. Other expense is lower in 2024 primarily due to decreased foreign currency losses of $9 million as compared to the prior period.

As disclosed in Note 5 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), during February of 2024, we entered into a Blue Chip Swap transaction in order to remit cash from our Argentine operations that

Table of Contents

resulted in a pre-tax loss on investment of $2 million during the first quarter of 2024 that is reported in "Other" expense in the first quarter of 2024.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:


	2024		2023
Effective tax rate	37.5	%	31.0	%

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded $1 million of net discrete tax expense, a majority of which related to tax expense from stock-based compensation vesting.

Effective January 1, 2024, many jurisdictions where we conduct business, including several European Union members and G20 countries, have enacted a 15% global minimum tax on the income generated in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate, referred to as "Pillar Two" of the Global Anti-Base Erosion rules framework that was undertaken by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD"). We are continuing to monitor developments and evaluate the impacts of the Pillar Two rules; we do not expect the Pillar Two rules to have a material impact to our annual effective tax rate.

Effective on January 1, 2022, the U.S. tax law changed to require that R&D expenses be capitalized and amortized for tax purposes under Internal Revenue Code Section 174. This requirement has an impact on global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") tax. We are currently forecasting approximately $3 million of tax expense related to GILTI in our marginal effective tax rate for 2024.

We expect that a majority of our foreign earnings will be repatriated to the U.S. As a result, the effective tax rates in the periods presented are largely based upon the forecasted pre-tax earnings mix between the U.S. and other foreign taxing jurisdictions where we conduct our business.

We estimate that the full-year effective tax rate for 2024 will be approximately 26%, which takes into consideration, among other things, the forecasted earnings mix by jurisdiction, the estimated impact to GILTI tax (including the requirement to capitalize R&D for tax purposes), and the estimated discrete items to be recognized in 2024. The forecasted tax rate is based on the foreign profits being taxed at an overall effective tax rate of approximately 22%, as compared to the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21%.

Revenue and Gross Profit by Operating Segment

Teradata manages its business under three geographic regions, which are also our operating segments: (1) Americas region (North America and Latin America); (2) EMEA region (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) and (3) APJ region (Asia Pacific and Japan). For purposes of discussing results by segment, management excludes the impact of certain items, consistent with the manner by which management evaluates the performance of each segment. This format is useful to investors because it allows analysis and comparability of operating trends. It also includes the same information that is used by our management to make decisions regarding the segments and to assess financial performance. The chief operating decision maker, who is our President and Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the performance of the segments based on revenue and multiple profit measures, including segment gross profit. For management reporting purposes, assets are not allocated to the segments. Our segment results are reconciled to total company results reported under GAAP in Note 12 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited).

The following table presents segment revenue and segment gross profit for the Company for the three months ended March 31:

Total segment gross profit	$	289	62.2	%	$	306	64.3	%

Americas

Americas revenue decreased 5% as compared to the prior year, including a 2% adverse impact from foreign currency fluctuations. The decrease in revenues was due to a decrease in recurring revenue of 5%, and a consulting revenue decrease of 10% ($3 million), as compared to the prior year. Segment gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased due to a higher proportion of public cloud revenues as compared to the prior-year period.

EMEA

EMEA revenue increased 7%, including a 1% favorable impact from foreign currency fluctuations. The overall increase in EMEA revenue included an increase of 14% in recurring revenue, partially off-set by a decrease of 71% ($5 million) in perpetual software licenses, hardware and other revenue. Consulting revenue was relatively flat year over year. Segment gross profit as a percentage of revenues was flat compared to the prior-year period.

APJ

APJ revenue decreased 6%, including a 6% adverse impact from foreign currency fluctuations. Recurring revenue decreased by 2% ($1 million), and consulting revenue decreased by 15% ($3 million). The decline in total revenue was primarily impacted by our strategic decision to wind-down direct operations in China during the prior year. Segment gross profit as a percentage of revenues was lower primarily due to a higher proportion of public cloud revenues as compared to the prior-year period, as well as the impact of the wind-down of direct operations in China.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash provided by operating activities was $27 million, which decreased by $82 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to approximately $20 million lower net income period over period, approximately $30 million from working capital dynamics, with the remaining change largely due to lower billings. Teradata used approximately $13 million of cash in the first three months of 2024 for reorganizing and transforming its operations and go-to-market functions to align to its strategy, as compared to $15 million in the first three months of 2023.

Teradata’s management uses a financial measure called "free cash flow," which is not a measure defined under GAAP. We use free cash flow (which we define as net cash provided by operating activities less investing activities related to capital expenditures for property and equipment and additions to capitalized software) as one measure of assessing the financial performance of the Company, and this may differ from the definitions used by other companies. The components that are used to calculate free cash flow are GAAP measures taken directly from the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited). We believe that free cash flow information is useful for investors because it relates the operating cash flow of the Company to the capital that is spent to continue and improve business operations. In particular, free cash flow indicates the amount of cash available after capital expenditures, for among other things, investments in the Company’s existing businesses, strategic acquisitions and repurchases of Teradata common stock. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since there may be other non-discretionary expenditures that are not deducted from the measure. This non-GAAP measure should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, cash flows from operating activities under GAAP.

The table below shows net cash provided by operating activities and net cash used in investing activities related to capital expenditures, along with free cash flow, for the following periods:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
In millions	2024		2023
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	27	$	109
Less:
Expenditures for property and equipment	(6)		(4)

Free cash flow	$	21	$	105

Financing activities and certain other investing activities are not included in our calculation of free cash flow. As disclosed in Note 5 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), during February of 2024, we entered into a Blue Chip Swap transaction in order to remit cash from our Argentine operations that resulted in a pre-tax loss on investment of $2 million during the first quarter of 2024 that is reported as an investing activity for cash flow purposes. There were no other material investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Teradata’s financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 primarily consisted of cash outflows for share repurchases and payments on our finance leases. At March 31, 2024, we had no outstanding borrowings on our $400 million Revolving Facility (as defined below).

We have two share repurchase programs that were authorized by our Board of Directors:

•The dilution offset share repurchase program allows us to repurchase Teradata common stock to the extent (i) cash is received from the exercise of stock options and (ii) employees' purchase Teradata stock pursuant to the Teradata Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"). The purpose of the dilution offset share repurchase program is to offset dilution from shares issued pursuant to the exercise of stock options and shares purchased under the ESPP.

Table of Contents

•Our open market share repurchase program provides for the repurchase of Teradata stock periodically on an ongoing basis in open market transactions, through 10b5-1 programs, through accelerated share repurchase programs, in privately negotiated transactions, or through the use of derivative instruments, in accordance with applicable securities rules regarding issuer repurchases. The open market share repurchase program will expire on December 31, 2025. On November 1, 2021, our Board of Directors authorized an additional $1 billion for share repurchases under the open market share repurchase program. There is a total authority of $427 million remaining under the open market share repurchase program as of March 31, 2024.

In the aggregate under the dilution offset share repurchase program and the open market share repurchase program, we repurchased approximately 3.2 million shares of common stock at an average price per share of $40.57 in the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Share repurchases are reported on a trade date basis. Our share repurchase activity depends on factors such as our working capital needs, our cash requirements for capital investments, our stock price, and economic and market conditions.

Other financing activities, including net share settlement for the payroll tax liability of section 16 officers (as discussed in Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds), offset by proceeds from the ESPP and the exercise of stock options, net of tax was a net outflow of $6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and a net outflow of $7 million (including fees from the credit facility agreement) for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The ESPP proceeds are included in other financing activities, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited).

Our total cash and cash equivalents held outside the United States in various foreign subsidiaries was $306 million as of March 31, 2024 and $428 million as of December 31, 2023. The remaining balance held in the United States ("U.S.") was $31 million as of March 31, 2024 and $58 million as of December 31, 2023. The Company expects that a majority of its foreign earnings will be repatriated to the U.S. Effective January 1, 2018, the U.S. moved to a territorial system of international taxation, and as such will generally not subject future foreign earnings to U.S. taxation upon repatriation in future years.

Management believes current cash, cash generated from operations and the $400 million available under the Credit Facility will be sufficient to satisfy future working capital, research and development activities, capital expenditures, pension contributions, and other financing requirements for at least the next twelve months. The Company principally holds its cash and cash equivalents in bank deposits and highly-rated money market funds.

The Company’s ability to generate positive cash flows from operations is dependent on general economic conditions, competitive pressures, and other business and risk factors described in the 2023 Annual Report and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, or otherwise comply with the terms of the Credit Facility or its term loan agreement, the Company may be required to seek additional financing alternatives.

Long-term Debt. On June 28, 2022, we entered into a Credit Agreement that provides for (i) a five-year unsecured term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $500 million (the "Term Loan"), and (ii) a five-year unsecured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $400 million, including a $50 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $50 million sublimit for swingline loans (the "Revolving Facility" and, collectively with the Term Loan, the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility replaces our prior revolving credit agreement in the maximum principal of $400 million and our prior term loan agreement in the principal amount of $500 million, both of which were entered into in 2018 (the "Prior Agreements"). In connection with the execution of the Credit Facility, the $400 million term loan outstanding under the Prior Agreements was repaid in full. Our long-term debt is discussed in Note 10 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited). In addition, as disclosed in Note 7 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), Teradata entered into an interest rate swap to hedge approximately 90% of the floating interest rate of the total $500 million Term Loan and a cross currency swap to hedge a portion of Euro currency exposure of its net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries.

On September 21, 2023, the Credit Agreement was amended to establish key performance indicators with respect to certain environmental, social, and governance ("ESG") targets, pursuant to which certain positive or negative adjustments would be made to various fees and applicable margin based on Teradata’s performance against such ESG targets.

Contractual and Other Commercial Commitments. There has been no significant change in our contractual and other commercial commitments as described in the 2023 Annual Report. Our commitments and contingencies are discussed in Note 8 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited).

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. In connection with the preparation of these financial statements, we are required to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and the related disclosure of contingent liabilities. These assumptions, estimates and judgments are based on historical experience and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable at the time. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Our critical accounting policies are those that require assumptions to be made about matters that are highly uncertain. Different estimates could have a material impact on our financial results. Judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of these policies and estimates may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions or circumstances. Our management periodically reviews these estimates and assumptions to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and are materially correct. We assessed certain accounting matters that generally require consideration of forecasted financial information in context with the information reasonably available to us as of March 31, 2024 and through the date of this report. The accounting matters assessed included, but were not limited to, our allowance for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation, the carrying value of our goodwill and other long-lived assets, financial assets, valuation allowances for tax assets and revenue recognition.

In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require significant management judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting among available alternatives would not produce a materially different result. The significant accounting policies and estimates that we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results are discussed in the 2023 Annual Report. Teradata’s senior management has reviewed these critical accounting policies and related disclosures and determined that there were no significant changes in our critical accounting policies in the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Teradata maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in its reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including, as appropriate, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We are in the process of implementing a new global cloud enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system that is occurring in phases throughout 2024. The ERP system is designed to improve and modernize the efficiency of certain financial and related transaction processes, accurately maintain Teradata’s financial records, enhance operational functionality, and provide timely information to our management team related to the operation of the business. We expect that the new ERP system will enhance and modernize our overall system of internal controls over financial reporting through further automation and integration of business processes, although it is not being implemented in response to any identified deficiency in Teradata’s internal controls over financial reporting. As such, the implementation of our ERP system will likely affect the processes that constitute our internal control over financial reporting and will require testing for controls effectiveness as the implementation progresses. Based on the implementation status as of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have concluded that the implementation of the ERP system thus far has not materially affected our internal control over financial reporting. However, as the next phases of the ERP system implementation are concluded, we will evaluate whether any process and/or controls changes in connection with the new ERP system necessitate changes in the design of and testing for effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting.

Other than the ongoing ERP implementation, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
