As a result, we are jointly offering private cloud solutions that are designed to give the flexibility of the cloud with the control and security of on-premises environment.
Market Dynamics with AI Focus
Our target market focuses on organizations that are large-scale users of data. As data volumes grow exponentially along with increasing sources of data, organizations are expected to increasingly move to cloud-based analytic and data technologies. With companies pivoting to cloud-based environments, we believe it is essential for these enterprises to be able to integrate ecosystems across multi-cloud and on-premises environments, simplify access to trusted data wherever it resides, and accommodate analytics at massive scale and speed to derive significant business value. We believe that Teradata addresses the full spectrum of analytics needs and varying cloud adoption strategies—from cloud-only to multi-cloud to hybrid and on-premises.
Generative AI is ushering in new frontiers of creativity, productivity, and innovation. We believe that we can help enterprises accelerate AI value, including by:
Managing uncontrolled data growth: AI requires volumes of high-quality data. We deliver AI capabilities for our customers by providing a platform that is designed to integrate and harmonize data across the organization.

Our Segments
For the calendar year ended December 31, 2023, we had total revenues of $1.833 billion, of which approximately 59% was derived from the Americas region (North America and Latin America) and 41% from the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and APJ regions (Asia Pacific and Japan). For financial information about our segments and geographic information, see "Note 14-Segment, Other Supplemental Information and Concentrations" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report.
History. Teradata was incorporated in 1979 as a Delaware corporation. Teradata became a publicly traded company named Teradata Corporation (NYSE: TDC) on September 30, 2007.
Industry and Market Opportunity. As companies face mounting data demands, along with the need to extract value from this data, we believe that our opportunity to grow in the multi-billion dollar data management and analytics market will continue. Industry analysts forecast that the data management and analytics market will grow at a double-digit rate year-over-year for the next few years and it is expected that the market opportunity will continue to expand with the anticipated rapid and global adoption of AI. We believe that, in addition to companies facing significant ongoing increases in data volumes and proliferation of data silos, there will also be an increasing expectation that this data be trusted, secured, and democratized. Furthermore, the agility provided by cloud-based technologies can bring significant benefits, yet also creates complexity, particularly with the increased need that data and analytics ecosystems span multiple environments. These factors all contribute to the increased complexity, cost, and risk associated with managing data and analytic environments, as well as the rapidly emerging desire of customers to create and deliver value from AI. This is particularly true for our target market of global enterprise companies, and we believe that these companies require well integrated solutions that can accommodate significant agility, scale and speed. We are focused on supporting our on-premises customers and helping new and existing customers migrate to the cloud, upgrade from VantageCloud Enterprise to VantageCloud Lake, expand workloads in the cloud, grow platform adoption and software utilization, and demonstrate the capabilities we have for AI.
Our Strategy. We continue to focus on our strategy of providing the most complete cloud analytics and data platform for AI. We are continuing to execute our transformation to be "cloud-first" across all parts of our business, as we consistently drive for profitable growth. In this regard, our strategic growth objectives are to:
further strengthen our cloud analytics and data platform, with Teradata VantageCloud Lake and ClearScape Analytics;
help our customers create enterprise value with harmonized data, trusted AI, and faster innovation;
enable end-to-end business outcomes through a seamless user experience;
accelerate our cloud-first strategy by supporting our customers on their cloud migration journeys;
expand customer footprints by increasing consumption and onboarding new workloads in existing and new business buying centers;
expand our product capabilities through deeper integration with cloud ecosystems;
focus on partner enablement to drive solution adoption and execution on our Vantage platform;
deepen relationships with strategic public cloud service providers, systems integrators, independent software vendors, and resellers;
expand our go-to-market reach by onboarding new customers, making vertical investments, enhancing customer success programs, and strengthening our partner relationships; and
deliver operational excellence through efficient cost management and execution.
AI requires significant high-quality data to create value, as such integrating and harmonizing data across the organization is crucial. Our analytics and data offering is designed to be scalable, secure, highly concurrent and resilient in order to help companies solve complex data challenges at scale. We provide a data management solution that enables enterprises to support their data and analytic ecosystems, enable consistent data across business units, and easily grow and scale. Furthermore, as demand shifts to the cloud, we provide enterprise customers with the flexibility to address their hybrid and multi-cloud data and analytics needs, empowering operational, ad-hoc analytic and mixed workloads, whether in the cloud or on-premises.
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.
As customers increasingly grow their cloud-based analytic ecosystems, our strategy supports existing customers on that journey with a fast path to migration that is enabled through a data fabric that connects all environments, as well as data and workload migration tools and services.
We also believe that we offer a competitive and compelling total cost of ownership by building out best-in-class capabilities that are designed to provide an easy experience for ingestion, exploration, development, consumption and operationalization of data and analytics. With a focus on delivering an outstanding user experience and an ability to start small and easily scale in the cloud, we are attracting new customers, migrating existing customers to the cloud with Teradata VantageCloud, and seeing customers expand their Teradata cloud environments.
Our strategy is further supported by our commitment to be a responsible corporate citizen. We believe it is our responsibility to make a positive impact on and support important issues, such as addressing the climate crisis and environmental sustainability, responsible use of AI, promoting diversity, equity and inclusion, supporting communities where we live and work, protecting data privacy, and acting ethically in everything we do.
Customers. Teradata concentrates our marketing and go-to-market efforts on companies that are seeking to improve business performance and view data as a strategic asset in achieving that objective. We focus on business, analytics, and technology buyers and users. Our platform differentiates Teradata in industries with high-data requirements, including Financial Services, Government, Healthcare and Life Sciences, Manufacturing, Retail, Telecommunications, and Travel/Transportation. We believe that these industries provide a good fit for our analytic solutions and services as they typically have the greatest analytic potential with large and growing data volumes, as well as complex data management requirements, and large and varied groups of users. We currently do not have any customer that represents 10% or more of our total revenue.
Seasonality. Historically, our new contract bookings and renewals are seasonal, in line with customer spending patterns, with lower volume typically in the first quarter and higher volume generally in the fourth quarter of each calendar year. Such seasonality causes our working capital cash flow requirements to vary from quarter to quarter depending on the variability in the volume, timing of invoices and subsequent collection, and mix of platform sales. Historically, cash provided by operating activities is higher in the first half of the year due to collections of the higher receivable balances at December 31 driven by the higher contract bookings in the fourth quarter and receipts from annual renewals of our maintenance support agreements. In addition, contract bookings in the third month of each quarter have historically been significantly higher than in the first and second months, with the majority occurring in the last quarter of our fiscal year. In addition, the size and complexity of our sales transactions have resulted in, and we expect will continue to result in, lengthy sales cycles with multiple levels of customer approvals which can also lead to less predictability of the timing of quarterly transactions. These factors, among others as more fully described in Item 1A, Risk Factors, in this Annual Report, make forecasting more difficult and may adversely affect our ability to accurately predict financial results.
We have transitioned the majority of our customers from perpetual to subscription-based purchasing options. As a result, our revenue from sales is recurring which generally increases the predictability of our revenue and the durability of our cash flows in the future. The majority of our customer contracts are based on a blended pricing model which provides a fixed capacity but also offers the customer optional consumption for times when they experience increased activity.
Sales, Marketing, Customer Services and Partners
Sales and Marketing. We primarily sell and market our solutions and services through a direct sales force. We have more than 80% of our employees in customer-facing and/or revenue-driving roles (including sales, marketing, consulting, customer services, and product engineering).
We support our sales force with marketing and training programs that are designed to:
grow awareness of Teradata as a hybrid multi-cloud leader, highlighting our technology leadership and innovation, differentiation, cloud, and analytics and AI expertise;

This organization focuses on delivering business value throughout the customer journey, enabling innovative use of the Vantage platform, extracting additional efficiencies, and maximizing customer impact and satisfaction—which are designed to retain customers and drive greater consumption of our technology.
Strategic Partnerships. We seek to extend our sales and marketing reach by partnering with cloud service providers, alliance partners (including independent software vendors, open-source software distributors, and resellers), leading global and regional systems integrators, consultants, and universities that we believe complement our differentiated offerings. Strategic partnerships are a key element in our ability to leverage the value and expand the scope of our data and analytics platform offering in the marketplace.

We believe our focus on AI, hybrid and multi-cloud ecosystem simplification, providing solutions for the most scalable and complex workloads, and providing products designed to achieve desired business outcomes of our customers, enables us to successfully compete within our target market. We believe that our technology innovations of the Teradata Vantage platform, including Teradata VantageCore, Teradata VantageCloud Enterprise, Teradata VantageCloud Lake, ClearScape Analytics, and Teradata AI Unlimited are highly differentiated, deliver scale and integration, and are positioned to provide business value to our customers. Furthermore, we provide our customers with the opportunity to de-risk their buying decisions with the ability to deploy across the top public clouds, private cloud and on-premises, coupled with flexibility in purchasing and portable licensing. For more information on competition, see Item 1A, Risk Factors, in this Annual Report.

We anticipate that we will continue to have significant R&D expenditures, which may include complementary strategic acquisitions, to help support the flow of innovative, high-quality cloud-based data and analytic offerings.
Intellectual Property and Technology. We own 594 patents in the United States. We are also theexclusive licensee offour additional patents in the United States and counterpart patents in foreign countries. Many of the patents that we own are licensed to others, and we are licensed to use certain patents owned by others. While our portfolio of patents and patent applications in aggregate is of significant value to our Company, we do not believe that any individual patent is by itself of material importance to our business.
In addition, we own copyrights and trade secrets in our code base that comprises all of the Teradata software offerings, including analytic data platforms and analytic applications and capabilities. Teradata’s software offerings reflect the investment of hundreds of person-years of development work.
The source code versions of our offerings are protected as trade secrets and, in all major markets, as unpublished copyright works. We take great efforts to protect our rights in all software offerings and related intellectual property; however, there can be no assurance that these measures will be successful. The Company owns the Teradata® word and logo trademarks, which are registered in the United States and in many foreign countries, as well as other trade names, service marks, and trademarks.
Sources of Materials. Our hardware components are assembled and configured by Flex Ltd. ("Flex"). Our platform line is designed to leverage the components from manufacturers that we believe are industry leaders. Our data storage devices and memory components utilize industry-standard technologies but are selected and configured to work optimally with our software and hardware platform. Flex also procures a wide variety of components used in the assembly process on our behalf. Although many of these components are available from multiple sources, Teradata utilizes preferred supplier relationships to better ensure more consistent quality, cost and delivery. Typically, these preferred suppliers maintain alternative processes and/or facilities to ensure business continuity of supply. Given our strategy to outsource product assembly activities to Flex and to source certain components from single suppliers, a disruption in production at Flex or at a supplier, a global shortage of components, commodity, transportation, and/or inflationary pressures could impact the timing or profitability of customer shipments. 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. Although we have not experienced issues from inflationary challenges or otherwise, the current inflation environment could present potential supply chain uncertainty, and we have implemented programs to mitigate these potential risks. For more information, see Item 1A, Risk Factors in this Annual Report.

Health, Safety, and Wellness. We are committed to the health, safety, and wellness of our employees and their families. We provide flexible and inclusive programs that cater to diverse needs of well-being.
Compensation and Benefits. Our compensation and benefits reflect our commitment to fairness and inclusion. We have robust compensation and benefit programs designed to attract and retain talent and meet the varied and evolving needs of a global and diverse workforce. In addition to our competitive base pay, these programs (which vary by country/region) include sales incentives, annual bonuses, stock awards, an Employee Stock Purchase Plan, a 401(k) Savings Plan with a company match, healthcare and insurance benefits, paid time off, family leave, and paid parental leave. As an example of our commitment to DEI, we ensure that all of our benefits provide coverage for domestic partners.
Talent Development. Teradata is committed to supporting the professional development of our employees by providing resources and pathways for growth. Over the last several years, we have evolved our talent practices to facilitate frequent conversations between managers and employees on performance and development. We have launched on-demand learning resources, such as LinkedIn Learning and Country Navigator, which give employees flexibility in when and how they learn. We also provide facilitated learning opportunities to help build specific capabilities and skills, such as Basics of Communication, Emotional Intelligence, Influence, and Time Management. Our executive and leadership development programs are designed to empower individuals to lead at every level.
Community Engagement. We believe that building connections between our employees, their families, and our communities creates a more meaningful, fulfilling, and enjoyable workplace. We support local STEM education programs to ensure emerging leaders in our communities have opportunities to explore their interests. Our Teradata Cares program empowers our employees to make a positive difference where we live and work through volunteerism and giving. We support our employees’ giving and volunteer efforts by providing matching donations for employee contributions to qualified not-for-profit agencies, project grants, Annual Days of Caring, and supporting communities where we have employee populations. To further enable employees to support the charity of their choice, we afford every employee four days a year, during normal working hours, for volunteer efforts of their choice.
Properties and Facilities. Our corporate headquarters is located in San Diego, California. As of December 31, 2023, we operated 44 facilities in 30 countries throughout the world. We own our San Diego complex, while all other facilities are leased.
