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, we are seeing organizations increasingly adopt hybrid, multi-cloud, and on-premises data analytics and AI/ML technologies. We believe it is essential for 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. Teradata addresses the full spectrum of analytics needs and varying cloud adoption strategies—from cloud-only to multi-cloud to hybrid and on-premises.

As companies around the world are exploring and implementing AI applications, including agentic and generative AI, we believe that we can help enterprises accelerate AI value, including by:

Managing uncontrolled data growth: AI requires extensive 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 and analytics capabilities that excel at scale.

Our Segments

For the calendar year ended December 31, 2024, we had total revenues of$1.750 billion. On August 5, 2024, we announced the realignment of our sales function to optimize operations. Due to this organizational change we now manage our business under two segments, which are also our new operating segments: (1) Product Sales and (2) Consulting Services. 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 and enablement of AI/ML. We believe that, in addition to companies facing significant ongoing increases in data volumes and proliferation of data sources, 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 analytics and AI/ML environments, as well as the rapidly emerging desire of customers to create and deliver value from agentic and generative 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 in an open and connected ecosystem. We are focused on supporting our customers, whether they are cloud-only, multi-cloud, on-premises, or a hybrid combination. We are helping new and existing customers migrate to the cloud, expand workloads in the cloud, connect their hybrid environments, and capture the possibilities provided by enabling AI. We are also focused on growing the adoption of our hybrid platform, enabling AI on-premises by brining additional data and AI/ML capabilities to our on-premises offering, increasing software utilization, expanding partnerships with leading companies, and demonstrating our extensive AI capabilities.

Our Strategy. We have a sharp strategic focus on being the hybrid cloud analytics and data platform for trusted AI at scale. We deliver on this strategy through leveraging our talented teams who are committed to our culture and executing the following strategic imperatives:

enabling faster innovation, better customer experiences, and improved productivity via the Teradata platform and ClearScape Analytics capabilities to enable AI/ML;

enhancing our ClearScape Analytics roadmap with incremental AI capabilities;

enabling AI on-premises by bringing additional data and AI/ML capabilities to our on-premises offerings;

broadening our platform to support OTF;

expanding our go-to-market reach by onboarding new customers, making vertical investments, enhancing customer success programs, extending 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 hybrid cloud platform is designed to be scalable, secure, highly concurrent, and resilient to help companies solve complex data challenges at scale. We provide a data management solution that enables enterprises to support their data analytics and AI/ML ecosystems, enable consistent data across business units, and grow at scale. Furthermore, we provide enterprise customers with the flexibility to address their data analytics and AI/ML needs, empowering operational, ad-hoc analytics, and mixed workloads, whether in the cloud, on-premises, or in a hybrid combination.

We believe we are differentiated by providing our hybrid cloud analytics and data platform offering across an open and connected 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 data analytics ecosystems, we support customers with a data fabric in QueryGrid 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 analytics and AI/ML.

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 responsible use of AI, environmental sustainability, promoting belonging 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 analytics and AI/ML as strategic to achieving that objective. We focus on the key buying centers of business leaders, analytics buyers and users, as well as technology buyers and users. Our platform differentiates Teradata in industries with high-data requirements, including Financial Services, Government, Healthcare and Life Sciences, Public Sector, Manufacturing, Retail, Telecommunications, and Travel/Transportation. We believe that these industries provide a good fit for our analytic solutions and services as these industries typically have the greatest analytic potential with large and growing data volumes, complex data management requirements, as well as large and varied types 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.

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.

The majority of our customers pay for their Teradata offerings via subscription-based purchasing options. As a result, a substantial portion of our revenue from sales is recurring, which generally increases the predictability of our revenue and the durability of our future cash flows. The majority of our customer contracts are based on a blended pricing model which provides a fixed capacity and 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).

Intellectual Property and Technology. We own 565 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.
