Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Teradata Corporation
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Teradata Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of income, of comprehensive income, of changes in stockholders’ equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, including the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Revenue Recognition - Evaluation of Nonstandard Terms and Conditions with Customers
As described in Notes 1 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has $1,750 million of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024, of which a significant portion is generated from revenue with contracts which contain multiple performance obligations. When the Company enters into contracts with multiple performance obligations, management allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using the relative standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. As disclosed by management, revenue recognition for complex contractual arrangements requires judgment, including a review of specific contracts and other factors. Specifically, complex arrangements with nonstandard terms and conditions may require significant contract interpretation to determine the appropriate accounting, including the determination whether promised goods or services are capable of being distinct and distinct within the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met, the promised goods or services are combined with other goods or services and accounted for as a combined performance obligation.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to revenue recognition, specifically related to the evaluation of nonstandard terms and conditions with customers, is a critical audit matter are the significant judgment by management in evaluating the impact of nonstandard terms and conditions with customers on revenue recognition and determining the appropriate revenue recognition. This in turn led to significant auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures to evaluate the impact of nonstandard terms and conditions on revenue recognition.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the revenue recognition process, including controls over the evaluation of the impact of nonstandard terms and conditions with customers on revenue recognition. These procedures also included, among others (i) evaluating and testing management’s process for determining whether the criteria for revenue recognition have been met based on the specific terms and performance under the arrangement, and (ii) examining revenue arrangements on a test basis, which included evaluating the impact of nonstandard terms and conditions with customers on revenue recognition.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Description of the Business. Teradata Corporation ("we," "us," "Teradata," or the "Company") is 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 complex data and analytics challenges. That's why we built our comprehensive open and connected cloud analytics and data platform for artificial intelligence ("AI"). Our Teradata Vantage platform is designed to help enterprises solve business problems and deliver business breakthroughs with its capabilities to provide harmonized data, trusted AI, and faster innovation.
Basis of Presentation. The financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").
Recurring revenue consists of our on-premises and cloud subscriptions, which have varying term lengths fromone month tofive years. Recurring revenue is intended to depict the revenue recognition model for these subscription transactions. The recurrence of these revenue streams in future periods depends on several factors, including contractual periods and customers' renewal decisions. Perpetual software licenses, hardware and other revenue consists of hardware and perpetual software licenses recognized upfront and revenue related to third party products. Consulting services revenue consists of consulting, implementation and installation services.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the period reported. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates and judgments, including those related to allowances for doubtful accounts, the valuation of inventory to net realizable value, impairments of goodwill and other intangibles, stock-based compensation, leases, pension and other postemployment benefits, and income taxes and any changes will be accounted for on a prospective basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("Topic 606") as of January 1, 2018 for all contracts not completed as of the date of adoption. The core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, the Company performs the following five steps:
identify the contract with a customer,
identify the performance obligations in the contract,
determine the transaction price,
allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and
recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
The Company only applies the above five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for goods or services it transfers to the customer. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience, published credit, and financial information pertaining to the customer.
Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales, value add, and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a good or service to a customer. Estimates of variable consideration are included in revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur once the uncertainty is resolved. The Company uses the expected value method or the most likely amount method depending on the nature of the variable consideration. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us. If actual results in the future vary from the Company’s estimates, the Company adjusts these estimates in the period such variances become known. Typically, the amount of variable consideration is not material.
For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using the relative standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. The Company must apply judgment to determine whether promised goods or services are capable of being distinct and distinct within the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met, the promised goods or services are combined with other goods or services and accounted for as a combined performance obligation. Revenue is then recognized either at a point in time or over time depending on our evaluation of when the customer obtains control of the promised goods or services. This evaluation requires significant judgment and the decision to combine a group of contracts or separate the combined or single contract into multiple performance obligations could change the amount of revenue recorded in a given period. In addition, the Company has developed assumptions that require judgment to determine the standalone selling price for each performance obligation identified in the contract. The Company determines the standalone selling price for a good or service by considering multiple factors including, geographies, market conditions, product life cycles, competitive landscape, internal costs, gross margin objectives, purchase volumes and pricing practices. The Company reviews the standalone selling price for each of its performance obligations on a periodic basis and updates it, when appropriate, to ensure that the practices employed reflect the Company’s recent pricing experience. The Company maintains internal controls over the establishment and updates of these estimates, which includes review and approval by the Company’s management.
Teradata delivers its platform and services primarily through direct sales channels, as well as through other independent software vendors and distributors and value-added resellers. Standard payment terms may vary based on the country in which the contract is executed, but are generally between 30 days and 90 days. The following is a description of the principal activities and performance obligations from which the Company generates its revenue:
Subscription software licenses, services and other - The Company sells on-premises and cloud subscriptions to its customers through its subscription licenses, cloud and hardware rental offerings. Teradata’s on-premises subscription licenses include a right-to-use license and revenue is recognized upfront at a point in time unless the customer has a contractual right to cancel, where revenue is recognized period-to-period based on the cancellation terms. Subscription licenses are reported within the subscription software licenses caption on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The subscription software license support and unspecified software license upgrade rights on a when-and-if-available basis that are included in the subscription are reported within the recurring services and other caption and recognized ratably over the contract term. Cloud arrangements include a right-to-access software license on third party hosted hardware such as the public cloud. Revenue is recognized ratably, or as consumed, over the contract term and included within the recurring services and other caption. Cloud arrangements typically include a minimum fixed amount that is recognized ratably over the contract term and may include an elastic amount for usage above the minimum, which is recognized monthly based on actual utilization. For the Company's hardware rental offering, the Company owns the hardware and typically finances the hardware to more closely align the use of cash with the expected cash inflows from contracts with customers. The revenue for these arrangements is generally recognized straight-line over the term of the contract and is included within the recurring services and other caption. Hardware rentals are generally accounted for as operating leases and considered outside the scope of Topic 606.
Perpetual maintenance and software upgrade rights - Revenue for maintenance and unspecified software upgrade rights on a when-and-if-available basis are recognized straight-line over the term of the contract and included within the recurring services and other caption.
Perpetual software licenses, hardware and other - Revenue for software is generally recognized when the customer has the ability to use and benefit from its right to use the license. Hardware is typically recognized upon delivery once title and risk of loss have been transferred (when control has passed). Other revenue includes the sale of third-party related products.
Consulting services- The Company accounts for individual services as separate performance obligations if a service is separately identifiable from other items in a combined arrangement and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. Revenue for consulting, managed services, implementation and installation services is recognized as services are provided by measuring progress toward the complete satisfaction of the Company’s obligation. Progress for services that are contracted for at a fixed price is generally measured based on hours incurred as a portion of total estimated hours. Progress for services that are contracted for on a time and materials basis is generally based on hours expended. These input methods (e.g. hours incurred or expended) of revenue recognition are considered a faithful depiction of our efforts to satisfy services contracts and therefore reflect the transfer of services to a customer under such contracts.
Significant Accounting Policies and Practical Expedients
The following are the Company’s significant accounting policies not already disclosed elsewhere and practical expedients relating to revenue from contracts with customers:
Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue.
Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as fulfillment cost and are included in cost of revenues.
The Company does not adjust for the effects of a significant financing component if the period between performance and customer payment is one year or less.
The Company expenses the costs to obtain a contract as incurred when the expected amortization period is one year or less.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. All short-term, highly-liquid investments having original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. Teradata establishes provisions for doubtful accounts using expected credit losses methodology and specific provisions for known issues.
Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost of service parts is determined using the average cost method. Finished goods inventory is determined using actual cost.
Long-Lived Assets
Property and Equipment. Property and equipment, leasehold improvements and rental equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the related assets primarily on a straight-line basis. The Company's estimate of depreciation expense incorporates management assumptions regarding the useful economic lives and residual values of its assets. Equipment is generally depreciated over 3 to 5 years and buildings over 25 to 45 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the life of the lease or the asset, whichever is shorter. Customer rental equipment is typically depreciated over the associated customer rental period, which is typically 3 years. Total depreciation expense on the Company’s property and equipment for December 31 was as follows:
| In millions | 2024 | 2023 | 2022 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Depreciation expense | $94 | $110 | $127 |
Capitalized Software. Direct development costs associated with internal-use software are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful lives of the resulting software. The costs are capitalized when both the preliminary project stage is completed and it is probable that computer software being developed will be completed and placed in service. Teradata typically amortizes capitalized internal-use software on a straight-line basis over four years beginning when the asset is substantially ready for use.
Costs incurred for the development of analytic database software that will be sold, leased or otherwise marketed are expensed as incurred based on the frequency and agile nature of development. The Company uses agile development methodologies to help respond to new technologies and trends and rapidly changing customer needs. Agile development methodologies are characterized by a more dynamic development process with more frequent and iterative revisions to a product release features and functions as the software is being developed. Due to the shorter development cycle and focus on rapid production associated with agile development, the Company did not capitalize any amounts for external-use software development costs in 2024, 2023 and 2022 due to the relatively short duration between the completion of the working model and the point at which a product is ready for general release.
The following table identifies the activity relating to capitalized internal-use software for the following periods:

| Beginning balance at January 1 | $5 | $8 | $10 |
| Capitalized | 2 | 2 | 3 |
| Amortization | (3) | (5) | (5) |
| Ending balance at December 31 | $4 | $5 | $8 |
The aggregate amortization expense (actual and estimated) for internal-use software for the following periods is:
| Actual · For the years ended (estimated) | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| In millions | 2024 | 2025 | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 |
| Internal-use software amortization expense | $3 | $2 | $2 | $2 | $2 | $1 |
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets such as property and equipment, acquired intangible assets and internal capitalized software are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. An impairment is calculated based on the present value of future cash flows and an impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than the carrying amount. No material impairment was recognized during 2024, 2023 and 2022.
Cloud computing arrangements. Implementation costs incurred in our hosting arrangements that are service contracts are recorded as other long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Implementation costs include activities such as integrating, configuring and customizing the related software. Capitalization of these costs ceases once the project is substantially complete and the software is ready for its intended purpose. Costs incurred for post-configuration training, maintenance and minor modifications or enhancements are expensed as incurred. The capitalized cloud computing implementation costs are amortized on the straight-line basis over the fixed, non-cancellable term of the associated hosting arrangement plus any reasonably certain renewal periods. We apply the same impairment model to these assets as we use to evaluate internally-developed software for impairment.
Goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill amounts are not amortized, but rather are tested for impairment annually or upon occurrence of an event or change in circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. See Note 5 for additional information.
Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs primarily include labor-related costs, contractor fees, and overhead expenses directly related to research and development support.
Pension and Postemployment Benefits. The Company accounts for its pension benefit and its non-U.S. postemployment benefit obligations using actuarial models. The measurement of plan obligations was made as of
December 31, 2024. Liabilities are computed using the projected unit credit method. The objective under this method is to expense each participant’s benefits under the plan as they accrue, taking into consideration salary increases and the plan’s benefit allocation formula. Thus, the total pension or postemployment benefit to which each participant is expected to become entitled is broken down into units, each associated with a year of past or future credited service.
The Company recognizes the funded status of its pension and non-U.S. and Japan postemployment plan obligations in its consolidated balance sheet and records, in other comprehensive income, certain gains and losses that arise during the period, but are deferred under pension and postemployment accounting rules. See Note 8 for additional information.
Foreign Currency. Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries that operate in a local currency environment are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates. Income and expense accounts are translated at daily exchange rates prevailing during the period. Adjustments arising from the translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in determining net income.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense is provided based on income before income taxes in the various jurisdictions in which the Company conducts its business. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and such amounts recognized for tax purposes. These deferred taxes are determined based on the enacted tax rates expected to apply in the periods in which the deferred assets or liabilities are expected to be settled or realized. The Company made an accounting policy election in 2018 related to the 2017 Tax Act to provide for the tax expense related to global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") in the year the tax is incurred. Teradata recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company records valuation allowances related to its deferred income tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. See Note 6 for additional information.
Stock-based Compensation. Stock-based payments to employees, including restricted shares and restricted share units, are recognized in the financial statements based on their fair value. See Note 7 for additional information.
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 added from stock options, restricted share awards and other stock awards. Refer to Note 7 for share information on the Company’s stock compensation plans.
The components of basic and diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31 are as follows:
| In millions, except earnings per share | 2024 | 2023 | 2022 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net income attributable to common stockholders | $114 | $62 | $33 |
| Weighted average outstanding shares of common stock | 96.4 | 99.8 | 103.2 |
| Dilutive effect of employee stock options, restricted shares and other stock awards | 1.8 | 2.6 | 2.6 |
| Common stock and common stock equivalents | 98.2 | 102.4 | 105.8 |
| Earnings per share: | |||
| Basic | $1.18 | $0.62 | $0.32 |
| Diluted | $1.16 | $0.61 | $0.31 |
Options to purchase an immaterial number of shares in 2024 and 2023 and 0.3 million shares in 2022 of common stock, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Beginning with our 2024 annual reporting, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07) that was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). This standard requires disclosure of significant segment expenses and other segment items by reportable segment on an annual and interim basis. Upon adoption, the guidance was applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. For additional information, see Note 14 — Segment, Other Supplemental Information and Concentrations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
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.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (ASU 2024-03). The new guidance requires disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items on an annual and interim basis. This guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning the year ended December 31, 2027 and for interim periods thereafter. The new standard permits early adoption and can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. We are evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Argentina Blue Chip Swap Transaction
The Central Bank of Argentina maintains currency controls that limit Teradata's ability to access U.S. dollars in Argentina and remit cash from its Argentine operations. There is a foreign exchange mechanism known as Blue Chip Swaps, which effectively results in a parallel U.S. dollar exchange rate. This parallel rate, which cannot be used as the basis to remeasure Teradata's net monetary assets in U.S. dollars under U.S. GAAP, has been higher than Argentina’s official exchange rate, when the Company completed its swaps, since September 30, 2023. During 2024, we entered into Blue Chip Swap transactions, in order to remit cash from our Argentine operations that resulted in a pre-tax loss on investment of $4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and a pre-tax loss on investment of $13 million during the fourth quarter of 2023.
Note 3 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

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 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. The following table provides information about receivables, contract assets and deferred revenue from contracts with customers:
| In millions | December 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Accounts receivable, net | $234 | $286 |
| Contract assets | $4 | $9 |
| Current deferred revenue | $512 | $570 |
| Long-term deferred revenue | $10 | $22 |
Revenue recognized during the year ended December 31, 2024 from amounts included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period was approximately $551 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 December 31, 2024:
| In millions | December 31, 2024 | Year 1 | Year 2 and Thereafter |
|---|---|---|---|
| Remaining unsatisfied obligations | $2,301 | $1,345 | $956 |
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 $1,237 million of the amount includes customer-only general cancellation for convenience terms that the Company is contractually obligated to perform unless the customer notifies the Company otherwise. The Company expects to recognize revenue of approximately $620 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.
Note 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 on the Company’s balance sheet. The capitalized amounts are calculated based on the sales commissions 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 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 | December 31, 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capitalized contract costs | $68 | $13 | $(35) | $46 |
| In millions | December 31, 2022 | Capitalized | Amortization | December 31, 2023 |
| Capitalized contract costs | $92 | $16 | $(40) | $68 |
Note 5 Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets
The following table identifies the activity relating to goodwill by our new operating segments:

| Total goodwill | $398 | $— | $(4) | $394 |
On August 5, 2024, Teradata announced that it realigned its sales function and initiated global restructuring to optimize operations. Due to these organizational changes, Teradata now manages its business undertwo segments, which are also the Company’s new operating segments: (1) Product Sales and (2) Consulting Services. Teradata’s Product Sales segment represents the results for the Recurring Revenue and Perpetual Software Licenses, Hardware and Other line items and the Consulting Services segment represents the Consulting Services line item, each as disclosed in the Company’s financial statements and in the tables in this Form 10-K.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company performed its annual impairment test, utilizing the quantitative method, and determined thatno impairment to the carrying value of goodwill was necessary as each reporting unit's fair value was above its carrying value. The Company reviewed itstwo reporting units in its 2024 goodwill impairment assessment, as each of the operating segments were considered separate reporting units for purposes of testing.
Acquired intangible assets were specifically identified when acquired and are deemed to have finite lives. The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization for Teradata’s acquired intangible assets were as follows:
| In millions | AmortizationLife (in Years) | Gross CarryingAmount | Accumulated AmortizationAmount |

| Effective income tax rate | 30.5% | 47.0% | 50.7% |
The following table presents the principal components of the difference between the effective tax rate and the United States federal statutory income tax rate for the years ended December 31:
| 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Income tax expense at the U.S. federal tax rate | 21.0% | 21.0% | 21.0% |
| Foreign income tax differential | (3.2)% | 1.5% | 13.0% |
| U.S. tax on foreign earnings | (0.7)% | (1.7)% | 2.8% |
| State and local income taxes | (1.3)% | (3.2)% | (4.2)% |
| U.S. permanent book/tax differences | 1.8% | 3.7% | 4.8% |
| U.S. research and development tax credits | (4.2)% | (6.1)% | (10.4)% |
| Change in valuation allowance | 10.7% | 18.6% | 18.7% |
| Argentina hyperinflationary adjustment | —% | 13.1% | —% |
| Tax impact of stock compensation | 4.3% | 1.7% | 3.6% |
| Tax impact of uncertain tax positions | 2.1% | (0.8)% | 1.5% |
| Other, net | —% | (0.8)% | (0.1)% |
| Effective income tax rate | 30.5% | 47.0% | 50.7% |
The 2024 effective tax rate included a net $3 million of discrete tax expense, a majority of which related to additional tax expense from stock-based compensation vesting.
The 2023 effective tax rate included a net $18 million of discrete tax expense, of which $15 million of tax expense related to the foreign currency exchange translation impact on deferred tax and tax payable balances for Teradata's Argentina operations due to hyperinflation in Argentina and $10 million of tax expense related to a valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets for Argentina and other reorganization and transformation activities. These were partially offset by $4 million taxbenefit related to the reversal of a FIN 48 tax reserve due to the expiration of statute of limitations and $3 million of incremental tax benefit related to stock-based compensation.
The 2022 effective tax rate included a net $1 million of discrete tax benefit, of which $2 million of tax benefit related to the reversal of a capital FIN 48 tax reserve due to the expiration of statute of limitations and $4 million incremental tax benefit related to stock-based compensation. These tax benefits were partially offset by $5 million of discrete tax expenses related to valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets and current receivables in Russia that are not expected to be realized as a result of the discontinuation of the Company's business in Russia.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities included in the balance sheets at December 31 were as follows:
| In millions | 2024 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Deferred income tax assets | ||
| Employee pensions and other liabilities | $41 | $59 |
| Other balance sheet reserves and allowances | 29 | 15 |

| Tax loss and credit carryforwards | 115 | 109 |
| Deferred revenue | 3 | 4 |
| Intangibles and capitalized software | 184 | 178 |
| Total deferred income tax assets | 374 | 368 |
| Valuation allowance | (101) | (90) |
| Net deferred income tax assets | 273 | 278 |

| Right of use assets - operating lease | 2 | 2 |
| Property and equipment | 24 | 32 |
| Other | 31 | 31 |
| Total deferred income tax liabilities | 57 | 65 |
| Total net deferred income tax assets | $216 | $213 |
As of December 31, 2024, Teradata had NOL and tax credit carryforwards totaling$115 million (tax effected and before any valuation allowance offset and application of recognition criteria for uncertain tax positions). Of the total tax carryforwards,$8 million are NOLs in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions, a small portion of which will begin to expire in 2025, which have a $7 million valuation allowance offset;$19 million are United States foreign tax credit carryforwards which expire in 2029, which have a$19 million valuation allowance offset; and$88 million are California R&D tax credits that have an indefinite carryforward period, which have a$65 million valuation allowance offset and$23 million of FIN 48 reserve recorded.
The Company considers a majority of its foreign earnings to not be indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States, and any distributions of profits from non-U.S. subsidiaries are not expected to cause a significant United States tax impact in the future. However, these distributions may be subject to non-U.S. withholding taxes if profits are distributed from certain jurisdictions. The Company has recorded$2 million of deferred foreign withholding tax expense with respect to certain earnings which are not considered permanently reinvested as they would be taxable upon remittance. Deferred taxes have not been provided on earnings considered indefinitely reinvested.
The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company reflects any interest and penalties recorded in connection with its uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s uncertain tax positions totaled approximately $44 million, of which $21 million is reflected in the other liabilities section of the Company’s balance sheet as a non-current liability and $23 million of uncertain tax positions relates to certain tax attributes generated by the Company, which are netted against the underlying deferred tax assets recorded on the balance sheet. The entire balance of $44 million in uncertain tax positions would cause a decrease in the effective income tax rate upon recognition. Teradata has recorded $3 million of interest accruals related to its uncertain tax liabilities as of December 31, 2024.
Below is a roll-forward of the Company’s liability related to uncertain tax positions at December 31:
| In millions | 2024 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Balance at January 1 | $40 | $41 |
| Gross increases for prior period tax positions | 1 | 1 |
| Gross increases for current period tax positions | 3 | 3 |
| Decreases due to the lapse of applicable statute of limitations | — | (5) |
| Balance at December 31 | $44 | $40 |
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States and various state jurisdictions, as well as numerous foreign jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has ongoing tax audits related to its 2020 and 2015 U.S. Federal income tax return, as well as in a limited number of state and foreign jurisdictions. However, nomaterial adjustments have been proposed or made in any of these examinations to date, which would result in any incremental income tax expense in future periods to the Company. The Company's tax returns for years 2021-2024 are still open for assessment by tax authorities in its major jurisdictions.
Note 7 Employee Stock-based Compensation Plans
The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31 as follows:
| In millions | 2024 | 2023 | 2022 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Restricted share units | 115 | 122 | 122 |
| Employee stock purchase program | 4 | 4 | 4 |
| Total stock-based compensation before income taxes | 119 | 126 | 126 |
| Tax benefit | (17) | (23) | (23) |
| Total stock-based compensation, net of tax | $102 | $103 | $103 |
The Teradata Corporation 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2012 SIP"), as amended, and the Teradata 2023 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2023 SIP"), as amended, provide for the grant of several different forms of stock-based compensation. The 2023 SIP was adopted and approved by stockholders in May 2023 and no further awards may be made under the 2012 SIP after that time. Awards granted under the 2012 Plan prior to stockholder approval of the 2023 Plan will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms. A total of 7.2 million shares were authorized to be issued under the 2023 SIP. In May 2020, the Teradata Board of Directors adopted the Teradata New Employee Stock Inducement Plan (the "NESIP"), effective June 1, 2020. Pursuant to the NESIP, the Company may grant equity incentive compensation as a material inducement for certain individuals to commence employment with Teradata within the meaning of Rule 303A.08 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. A total of 2.2 million shares are reserved for grant under the NESIP, the Teradata Incentive Stock Purchase Plan, and new CEO award, subject to adjustment as provided in the NESIP. The NESIP terminated on June 1, 2023.
New shares of the Company’s common stock are issued as a result of the vesting of restricted share units, upon stock option exercises, and at the time of grant for restricted shares, for awards under all plans.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s primary types of stock-based compensation were restricted share units and the employee stock purchase program (the "ESPP").
Stock Options
No stock options were granted in 2024, 2023, or 2022.
Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units
The 2023 SIP provides for the issuance of restricted shares, as well as restricted share units. These grants consist of both service-based and performance-based awards. Service-based awards typically vest over athree-year period beginning on the effective date of grant. These grants are not subject to future performance measures. The cost of these awards, determined to be the fair market value at the date of grant, is expensed ratably over the vesting period. Performance-based grants are subject to future performance measurements over aone-tothree-year period. All performance-based shares that are earned in respect of an award will become vested at the end of the performance and/or service period provided the employee is continuously employed by the Company and applicable performance measures and other vesting conditions are met. The fair value of each performance-based award is determined on the grant date, based on the Company’s stock price, and assumes that performance targets will be achieved. Over the performance period, the number of shares of stock that will be issued is adjusted upward or downward based upon management’s assessment of the probability of achievement of performance targets. The ultimate number of shares issued and the related compensation cost recognized as expense will be based on a comparison of the final achievement of performance metrics to the specified targets. For substantially all restricted share grants, at the date of grant, the recipient has all rights of a stockholder, subject to certain restrictions on transferability and risk of forfeiture. A recipient of restricted share units does not have the rights of a stockholder and is subject to restrictions on transferability and risk of forfeiture. For both restricted shares and restricted share units, any potential dividend rights would be subject to the same vesting requirements as the underlying equity award. As a result, such rights are considered a contingent transfer of value and consequently these equity awards are not considered participating securities.
We did not issue restricted shares in 2024, 2023, or 2022. The following table reports restricted share unit activity during the year ended December 31, 2024:
| Shares in thousands | Number ofShares | Weighted-Average GrantDate Fair Valueper Share |

Employee Stock Purchase Program
The Company’s ESPP provides eligible employees of Teradata and its designated subsidiaries an opportunity to purchase the Company’s common stock at a discount at the end of a 6-month purchase period. Additionally, the ESPP has a look-back feature whereby the purchase discount is based off the lower of the market prices at the beginning or end of each 6-month purchase period (September to February, and March to August). The ESPP discount is 15% of the relevant market price and is considered compensatory.
Employees may authorize payroll deductions of up to 10% of eligible compensation for common stock purchases. A total of 9.3 million shares were authorized to be issued under the ESPP, with approximately 2.2 million shares remaining under that authorization at December 31, 2024. The shares of Teradata common stock purchased by a participant on an exercise date (the last day of each month), for all purposes, are deemed to have been issued and sold at the close of business on such exercise date. Prior to that time, none of the rights or privileges of a stockholder exists with respect to such shares.
Employee purchases and aggregate cost were as follows at December 31:
| In millions | 2024 | 2023 | 2022 |

Note 8 Employee Benefit Plans
Pension and Postemployment Plans. Teradata currently sponsors defined benefit pension plans for certain of its international employees. For those international pension plans for which the Company holds asset balances, those assets are primarily invested in common/collective trust funds (which include publicly traded common stocks, corporate and government debt securities, real estate indirect investments, cash or cash equivalents) and insurance contracts.
Postemployment obligations relate to benefits provided to involuntarily terminated employees and certain inactive employees after employment but before retirement. These benefits are paid in accordance with various foreign statutory laws and regulations, and Teradata’s established postemployment benefit practices and policies. Postemployment benefits may include disability benefits, supplemental unemployment benefits, severance, workers’ compensation benefits, continuation of health care benefits and life insurance coverage, and are funded on a pay-as-you-go basis.
Pension and postemployment benefit costs for the years ended December 31 were as follows:
| 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| In millions | Pension | Postemployment | Pension | Postemployment | Pension | Postemployment |

The weighted-average rates and assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at December 31, and net periodic benefit cost for the years ended December 31, were as follows:
| Pension Benefit Obligations · Pension Benefit Cost | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | |
| Discount rate | 3.2% | 3.0% | 3.2% | 3.1% | 1.3% |

| Interest crediting rate assumption | 1.6% | 1.6% | 1.6% | 1.5% | 0.9% |
| Postemployment Benefit Obligations · Postemployment Benefit Cost | |||||
| 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | |
| Discount rate | 4.6% | 4.6% | 4.6% | 3.8% | 2.0% |
| Rate of compensation increase | 4.3% | 3.0% | 3.0% | 3.0% | 3.0% |
| Involuntary turnover rate | 5.0% | 4.5% | 4.5% | 4.0% | 4.0% |
The Company determines the expected return on assets based on individual plan asset allocations, historical capital market returns, and long-term interest rate assumptions, with input from its actuaries, investment managers, and independent investment advisors. The company emphasizes long-term expectations in its evaluation of return factors, discounting or ignoring short-term market fluctuations. Expected asset returns are reviewed annually, but are generally modified only when asset allocation strategies change or long-term economic trends are identified.
International discount rates were determined by examining interest rate levels and trends within each country, particularly yields on high-quality long-term corporate bonds, relative to our future expected cash flows. The discount rate used for countries with individually insignificant benefit obligation at year-end was derived by matching the plans’ expected future cash flows to the corresponding yields from the Citigroup Pension Liability Index. This yield curve has been constructed to represent the available yields on high-quality fixed-income investments across a broad range of future maturities.
Gains and losses have resulted from changes in actuarial assumptions and from differences between assumed and actual experience, including, among other items, changes in discount rates and differences between actual and assumed asset returns. These gains and losses (except those differences being amortized to the market-related value) are only amortized to the extent that they exceed 10% of the higher of the market-related value of plan assets or the projected benefit obligation of each respective plan. Amortization of deferred gains and losses are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income as a component of Other expense.
Plan Assets. The weighted-average asset allocations at December 31, by asset category are as follows:
| Actual Asset Allocationas of December 31 · Target Asset | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | Allocation | |
| Equity securities | 33% | 33% | 34% |
| Debt securities | 56% | 47% | 55% |
| Insurance (annuity) contracts | 8% | 13% | 4% |
| Real estate | 3% | 6% | 4% |
| Other | —% | 1% | 3% |
| Total | 100% | 100% | 100% |
Investment Strategy. Teradata employs several investment strategies across its various international pension plans. In some countries, particularly where Teradata does not have a large employee base, the Company may use insurance (annuity) contracts to satisfy its future pension payment obligations, whereby the Company makes pension plan contributions to an insurance company in exchange for which the pension plan benefits will be paid when the members reach a specified retirement age or on earlier exit of members from the plan. In other countries, the Company may employ local asset managers to manage investment portfolios according to the investment policies and guidelines established by the Company, and with consideration to individual plan liability structure and local market environment and risk tolerances. The Company’s investment policies and guidelines primarily emphasize diversification across and within asset classes to maximize long-term returns subject to prudent levels of risk, with the overall objective of enabling the plans to meet their future obligations. The investment portfolios contain a diversified blend of equity and fixed-income investments. Furthermore, equity investments are diversified across domestic and international stocks, small and large capitalization stocks, and growth and value stocks. Fixed-income assets are diversified across government and corporate bonds. Where applicable, real estate investments are made through real estate securities, partnership interests or direct investment, and are diversified by property type and location.
Fair Value. Fair value measurements are established utilizing a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are more fully described in Note 11.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for pension assets as of December 31, 2024.
Common/collective trust funds (which include money market funds, equity funds, bond funds, real estate indirect investments, etc.): Valued at the net asset value ("NAV") of shares held by the pension plan at year end, as reported to the pension plan by the trustee, which represents the fair value of shares held by the pension plan. Because the NAV of the shares held in the common/collective trust funds are derived by the value of the underlying investments, the Company has classified these underlying investments as Level 2 fair value measurements.
Insurance contracts: Valued by discounting the related future benefit payments using a current year-end market discount rate, which represents the fair value of the insurance contract. The Company has classified these contracts as Level 3 assets for fair value measurement purposes.
The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the pension plan assets at fair value as of December 31, 2024:
| Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using | ||||

Cash Flows Related to Employee Benefit Plans
Cash Contributions. In 2025, the Company expects to contribute approximately $2 million to the international pension plans.
Estimated Future Benefit Payments. The Company expects to make the following benefit payments, estimated based on the assumptions used to measure the Company's benefit obligation at the end of the year, reflecting past and future service from its pension and postemployment plans:
| Pension · Postemployment | ||
|---|---|---|
| In millions | Benefits | Benefits |
| Year | ||
| 2025 | $5 | $11 |
| 2026 | $5 | $11 |
| 2027 | $6 | $11 |
| 2028 | $7 | $11 |
| 2029 | $6 | $11 |
| 2030 - 2034 | $40 | $54 |
Savings Plans. United States employees and many international employees participate in defined contribution savings plans. These plans generally provide either a specified percent of pay or a matching contribution on participating employees’ voluntary elections. The Company’s matching contributions typically are subject to a maximum percentage or level of compensation. Employee contributions can be made pre-tax, after-tax or a combination thereof. The following table identifies the expense for the United States and International subsidiary savings plans for the years ended December 31:
| In millions | 2024 | 2023 | 2022 |
|---|---|---|---|
| U.S. savings plan | $15 | $16 | $16 |
| International subsidiary savings plans | $10 | $10 | $12 |
Note 9 Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
As a portion of Teradata’s operations is conducted outside the United States 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 involvement 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 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 deliverthe 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, and executed afive-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, as more fully described in Note 12. 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$439 million as of December 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 Loss and periodic settlements of the interest rate 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 hedging instruments at December 31:
| In millions | 2024 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Contract notional amount of foreign exchange forward contracts | $70 | $178 |
| Net contract notional amount of foreign exchange forward contracts | $21 | $1 |
| Contract notional amount of foreign currency exchange (net investment hedge) | $150 | $150 |
| Contract notional amount of interest rate swap | $439 | $450 |
All derivatives are recognized in the 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 11 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.
Note 10 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 and other regulatory compliance and general matters, including for Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") and shareholder 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 onfive 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 offour 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 decided by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and transferred the appeal to the Ninth Circuit, where a three-judge panel heard oral arguments on February 12, 2024. Soon after, the Company and SAP entered into a partial settlement agreement that 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. On December 19, 2024, the Ninth Circuit panel ruled in the Company’s favor, overturning the district court’s summary judgment decision with respect both to the antitrust claims and the trade secret claims, and remanding to the district court for further proceedings. On January 23, 2025, SAP petitioned the Ninth Circuit for rehearingen banc. 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.
On June 14, 2024, a putative securities class action lawsuit was filed against the Company and certain of its officers in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California (the “Court”), captioned Ostrander v. Teradata Corporation, No. 24-cv-01034 (S.D. Cal.). The complaint asserts claims for alleged violations of federal securities laws related to statements concerning the Company’s business and 2023 financial outlook for Total ARR and Public Cloud ARR. The plaintiff seeks to represent a class of certain persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s stock during the period from February 13, 2023 to February 12, 2024 and seeks unspecified damages and other relief. On December 6, 2024, the lead plaintiff in the case filed an amended complaint, after which the Company filed a motion to dismiss on February 4, 2025. Briefing on the motion is expected to conclude later in 2025. The Company disputes the allegations in the amended complaint and intends to defend the case vigorously. The case is at an early stage, and the Company cannot reasonably estimate the amount of any potential financial loss or cost that could result from this 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 December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
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.
Note 11 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 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 using derivative financial instruments, specifically, foreign exchange forward contracts. Additionally, in June 2022, Teradata executed afive-year interest rate swap with a $450 million initial notional amount to hedge the floating interest rate on its term-loan and afour-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 contracts recorded in other assets and other liabilities at December 31, 2024 and 2023 were not material. Realized gains and losses from the Company’s fair value hedges net of corresponding gains or losses on the underlying exposures were immaterial for years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.
The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and subject to fair value disclosure requirements at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows:

Note 12 Debt
On June 28, 2022, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement that provides for (i) afive-year unsecured term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $500 million (the "Term Loan"), and (ii) afive-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").
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 totwo additionalone-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 9, in June 2022, Teradata entered into an interest rate swap, where the notional amount of the hedge steps down according to the amortization schedule of the related term loan, to hedge approximately 90% (or $450 million at inception) 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 December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company hadno borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility, leaving $400 million in additional borrowing capacity available under the Credit Facility. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.
The term loan principal outstanding was $481 million at December 31, 2024 and $500 million at December 31, 2023. As disclosed in Note 9, Teradata entered into an interest rate swap to hedge the floating interest rate of the term loan. As a result of the swap, Teradata’s fixed rate on approximately 90% of the term loan equals 3.25% excluding the applicable leverage-based margin as defined in the term loan agreement. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the all-in fixed rates are 4.24% and 4.44%, respectively. Deferred issuance costs are amortized over thefive-year term of the Term Loan to interest expense. As of December 31, 2024 the remaining unamortized deferred issuance costs are approximately$1 million.
Annual contractual maturities of outstanding principal on the Term Loan at December 31, 2024, are as follows:
| In millions | Principal payments |
|---|---|
| 2025 | 25 |
| 2026 | 25 |
| 2027 | 431 |
| Total | $481 |
The Term Loan is recognized on the Company’s balance sheet at its unpaid principal balance, net of deferred issuance costs, and is not subject to fair value measurement. However, given that the loan carries a variable rate, the Company estimates that the unpaid principal balance of the Term Loan would approximate its fair value. If measured at fair value in the financial statements, the Company’s Term Loan would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Note 13 Leases
Lessee
The Company leases property and equipment under finance and operating leases. The Company's operating leases primarily consist of automobiles in certain countries and real estate, including office, storage and parking spaces. The duration of these leases range from 2 to 8 years. The Company's finance leases primarily consist of equipment financed for the purpose of delivering services to our customers. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company recorded the related asset and obligation at the present value of lease payments over the term. Many of our leases include variable rental escalation clauses which are recognized when incurred. Some of our leases also include renewal options and/or termination options that are factored into the determination of lease payments and lease terms when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise these options. Lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For real estate leases beginning in 2019 and later, we account for lease components (e.g., fixed payments including rent, real estate taxes and insurance costs) separately from the non-lease components (e.g., common-area maintenance costs). For automobile leases we account for lease and non-lease components together.
When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value. However, real estate leases do not typically provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company must estimate the incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement. The incremental borrowing rate used in the calculation of the lease liability is based on the secured rate associated with financed lease obligations for each location of leased property.
The table below presents the lease-related assets and liabilities recorded on the balance sheet at December 31:
| In millions, except weighted average calculations · Classification on the Balance Sheet · 2024 · 2023 | ||||

| Weighted-average discount rate | ||||
| Operating leases(1) | 5.40% | 5.00% | ||
| Finance leases | 6.83% | 6.28% | ||
(1) Upon adoption of the new lease standard, discount rates used for existing leases were established based on the Company's incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019. For new leases entered after January 1, 2019, the discount rate was determined based on the Company's incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement.

Note 14 Segment, Other Supplemental Information and Concentrations
Teradata now manages its business undertwo segments, which are also the Company’s new operating segments: (1) Product Sales and (2) Consulting Services. Teradata’s Product Sales segment represents the results for the Recurring Revenue and Perpetual Software Licenses, Hardware and Other line items and the Consulting Services segment represents the Consulting Services. The prior year results have been updated to conform to the current year presentation. Prior to August 5, 2024, Teradata managed its business under three geographic regions, which were 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 ("CODM"), who is our President and Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the performance of each segment by comparing segment revenue and segment gross profit results to historical and previously forecasted financial information on a monthly and quarterly basis to allocate operating and capital resources. Our CODM monitors assets for the consolidated Company but does not use assets by segment when assessing performance or making operating segment resource allocations.

Note 16 Reorganization and Business Transformation
On August 5, 2024, the Company announced that it realigned its sales function and initiated global restructuring and cost actions to optimize operations, reduce non-revenue generating expenses, and drive efficiencies for long-term growth and profitability (the "Restructuring"). The majority of the actions related to the Restructuring are expected to be completed by mid 2025, with remaining actions to be completed by the end of 2025.
The Company expects that the majority of the costs relating to the Restructuring will include one-time employee separation benefits, transition support, and other employee-related costs. The Company expects that it will incur total charges related to the Restructuring in the range of approximately $20 to $25 million. Cash expenditures related to these actions are estimated at approximately $45 to $50 million.
The Company recognized costs of $14 million ($9 million cash and $5 million non-cash) in 2024 for employee severance and other employee-related costs associated with the Restructuring. In 2024, $3 million of these costs were recorded in costs of revenue, $7 million were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses and $4 million were recorded in research and development expenses. There was no impact to the segment gross profit.
Cash paid related to the plan listed above was $14 million in 2024. Not included in the table below are approximately $5 million in 2024 of cash payments for international employees which did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) as the Company accounts for its International postemployment benefits under Accounting Standards Codification 712, Compensation - Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits ("ASC 712"), which uses actuarial estimates to accrue for severance benefits over the course of employees' service period.
The estimate of the savings (and any reinvestment thereof), costs, charges, and cash expenditures that the Company expects to incur in connection with the Restructuring, and the timing thereof, are subject to a number of assumptions, including local law requirements in various jurisdictions, and actual amounts may differ materially from the estimates. In addition, the Company may incur other costs and charges not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events that may occur, including in connection with the implementation of the Restructuring.
The 2024 activity and the reserves related to the Restructuring are as follows:
