Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

These statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, in accordance with those rules and regulations, do not include all information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Teradata Corporation (“Teradata” or the “Company”) for the interim periods presented herein. The year-end 2014 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may vary from these estimates.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Teradata’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 (the “2014 Annual Report”). The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue Recognition. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new guidance that affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. The new guidance will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in the current revenue recognition guidance, and most industry-specific guidance. In addition, the existing requirements for the recognition of a gain or loss on the transfer of nonfinancial assets that are not in a contract with a customer are amended to be consistent with the guidance on recognition and measurement in this update. The core principle of the guidance 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 entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, the FASB defines a five step process which includes the following: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early application not permitted. The standard allows entities to apply the standard retrospectively for all periods presented or alternatively an entity is permitted to recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance as an opening balance sheet adjustment to retained earnings in the period of initial application. In April 2015, the FASB proposed a one-year delay in the effective date of the new standard. Under this proposal, the new revenue standard would be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows, as well as the method of transition that will be used in adopting the standard.

Accounting for Share-based Payments with Performance Targets. In June 2014, the FASB issued new guidance that requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the periods for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods

beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. This update eliminates from GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. A reporting entity may apply the amendments prospectively. A reporting entity also may apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. This amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations.

Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. To simplify presentation of debt issuance costs, the amendments in this update require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this update. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years and shall be applied on a retrospective basis. This amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position.

Intangibles, Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software. The amendments in this update provide guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The guidance will not change current guidance for a customer’s accounting for service contracts. This amendment will be effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

4. Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets

The following table identifies the activity relating to goodwill by operating segment:



In millions	Balance, December 31, 2014		Adjustments			Currency Translation Adjustments			Balance, March 31, 2015
Goodwill
Data and Analytics	$	351	$	(3	)	$	(3	)	$	345
Marketing Applications	597		—			(18		)	579
Total goodwill	$	948	$	(3	)	$	(21	)	$	924

The changes to goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and a purchase accounting adjustment on a recent acquisition.

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:



		March 31, 2015					December 31, 2014
In millions	Amortization Life (in Years)	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization and Currency Translation Adjustments			Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization and Currency Translation Adjustments
Acquired intangible assets

Total		$	269	$	(147	)	$	269	$	(133	)

The aggregate amortization expense (actual and estimated) for acquired intangible assets for the following periods is as follows:

Amortization expense	$	47	$	42	$	33	$	25	$	14	$	11

5. Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014 was 26.7% and 28.0%, respectively. There were no material discrete tax items in either tax period. The decrease in the effective tax rate

was primarily driven by a higher percentage of forecasted foreign pre-tax earnings mix for the three months ended March 31, 2015 versus the three months ended March 31, 2014.

6. 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 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 exchange 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.

All derivatives are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets at their fair value. 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. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments, along with the loss or gain on the hedged asset or liability, are recorded in current period earnings. 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. 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.

The following table identifies the contract notional amount of the Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts:



	As of
In millions	March 31, 2015		December 31, 2014
Contract notional amount of foreign exchange forward contracts	$	94	$	116
Net contract notional amount of foreign exchange forward contracts	$	2	$	17

The fair value of derivative assets and liabilities recorded in other current assets and accrued liabilities at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, were not material.

Gains and losses from the Company’s fair value hedges (foreign currency forward contracts and related hedged items) were immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014. 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 products or in other income, depending on the nature of the related hedged item.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal 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.

Guarantees and Product Warranties. Guarantees associated with the Company’s business activities are reviewed for appropriateness and impact to the Company’s financial statements. Periodically, the Company’s customers enter into various leasing arrangements coordinated with a leasing company. In some instances, the Company guarantees the leasing company a minimum value at the end of the lease term on the leased equipment. As of March 31, 2015, the maximum future payment obligation of this guaranteed value and the associated liability balance was $5 million.

The Company provides its customers a standard manufacturer’s warranty and records, at the time of the sale, a corresponding estimated liability for potential warranty costs. Estimated future obligations due to warranty claims are based upon historical factors such as labor rates, average repair time, travel time, number of service calls and cost of replacement parts. For each consummated sale, the Company recognizes the total customer revenue and records the associated warranty liability using pre-established warranty percentages for that product class.

The following table identifies the activity relating to the warranty reserve for the three months ended March 31:



In millions	2015			2014
Warranty reserve liability
Beginning balance at January 1	$	7		$	8
Provisions for warranties issued	2			3
Settlements (in cash or in kind)	(3		)	(4		)
Balance at March 31	$	6		$	7

The Company also offers extended and/or enhanced coverage to its customers in the form of maintenance contracts. The Company accounts for these contracts by deferring the related maintenance revenue over the extended and/or enhanced coverage period. Costs associated with maintenance support are expensed as incurred. Amounts associated with these maintenance contracts are not included in the table above.

In addition, 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 products. The Company 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 divesture activities that include indemnification obligations by the Company. The fair value of these indemnification obligations is 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, and as such the Company has 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.

8. 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, available-for-sale securities 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. Available-for-sale securities include equity securities that are traded in active markets, such as the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations Systems ("NASDAQ"), and are therefore included in Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Available-for-sale securities are included in other assets in the Company's balance sheet. Unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income until realized.

When deemed appropriate, the Company minimizes its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates through the use of derivative financial instruments, specifically, forward foreign exchange contracts. The fair value of these contracts 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 gains for open contracts are recognized as assets and fair value losses are recognized as liabilities. The fair value derivative assets and liabilities recorded in other current assets and accrued liabilities at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, were not material. Any realized gains or losses would be mitigated by corresponding gains or losses on the underlying exposures.

The Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and subject to fair value disclosure requirements at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were as follows:



			Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using

9. Debt

On March 25, 2015, Teradata replaced its existing five-year, $300 million revolving credit facility with a new $400 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility ends on March 25, 2020 at which point any remaining outstanding borrowings would be due for repayment unless extended by agreement of the parties for up to two additional one-year periods. The interest rate charged on borrowings pursuant to the Credit Facility can vary depending on the interest rate option the Company chooses to utilize and the Company’s leverage ratio at the time of the borrowing. In the near term, Teradata would anticipate choosing a floating rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The Credit Facility is unsecured and contains certain representations and warranties, conditions, affirmative, negative and financial covenants, and events of default customary for such facilities.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had no 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 March 31, 2015.

Also on March 25, 2015, Teradata closed on a new senior unsecured $600 million five-year term loan, the proceeds of which were used to pay off the remaining $247 million of principal on its existing term loan, pay off the $220 million outstanding balance on the prior credit facility, and to fund share repurchases. The $600 million term loan is payable in quarterly installments, which will commence on March 31, 2016, with all remaining principal due in March 2020. The outstanding principal amount under the term loan agreement bears interest at a floating rate based upon a negotiated base rate or a Eurodollar rate plus a margin based on the leverage ratio of the Company. As of March 31, 2015, the term loan principal outstanding was $600 million and carried an interest rate of 1.4375%. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2015.

Teradata’s term loan is recognized on the Company’s balance sheet at its unpaid principal balance, 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.

10. Earnings Per Share

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

The components of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

Options to purchase 3.1 million and 2.2 million shares of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, respectively 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 for the period, and therefore would have been anti-dilutive.

11. Segment and Other Supplemental Information

Effective January 1, 2015, Teradata implemented an organizational change in which Teradata now manages its business in two divisions, which are also the Company’s operating segments: (1) data and analytics, and (2) marketing applications. This change will enable each division to be more sharply focused in rapidly addressing the dynamics of each market, and in bringing the best solutions to our customers. 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 evaluates the performance of the segments based on revenue and multiple profit measures, including segment gross margin. For management reporting purposes assets are not allocated to the segments. Prior period segment information has been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

12. Subsequent Events

On May 4, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized an additional $300 million to be utilized to repurchase Teradata Corporation common stock under the Company’s general open market share repurchase program, which resulted in a total of approximately $431 million authorized for share repurchases under this program as of that date.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”).

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain statements that are forward-looking within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain statements contained in the MD&A are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections about our industry, business and future financial results. Our actual results could differ materially from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

First Quarter Financial Overview

As more fully discussed in later sections of this MD&A, the following were significant financial items for the first quarter of 2015:


•	Total revenue was $582 million for the first quarter of 2015, down from the first quarter of 2014, with an underlying 12% decrease in product revenue and a 4% decrease in services revenue.


•	Gross margin decreased to 47.6% in the first quarter of 2015 down from 53.0% in the first quarter of 2014, mainly driven by lower product margin.


•	Operating income was $30 million in the first quarter of 2015, compared to $89 million in the first quarter of 2014, driven by lower product and consulting revenue and gross margin.


•	Net income in the first quarter of 2015 was $22 million, compared to $59 million in the first quarter of 2014.

Strategic Overview

Teradata helps companies achieve competitive advantage and win in their markets by empowering them to become “data-driven businesses” capable of exploiting data for insight and value. With Teradata’s industry-leading analytic data platforms for data warehousing and big data analytics, marketing applications and proven consulting expertise, companies can become more competitive by leveraging data insights to increase revenue, reduce costs, improve business processes, enhance customer relationships, improve their marketing and drive innovation.

We continue to focus on the following key initiatives to broaden our position in the market and take advantage of these market opportunities.


•	Be the trusted advisor for enabling data-driven business and continue investing in business and technical consulting via organic growth and targeted strategic acquisitions;


•	Invest to expand our leading Unified Data Architecture, data warehouse software and platform family, big data discovery platforms and Hadoop^®-based data management platforms to address multiple market segments through internal development and targeted strategic acquisitions;


•	Accelerate our product development for marketing applications by investing in high-growth opportunities in digital marketing and marketing analytics, and adding to capabilities through targeted acquisitions;


•	Deliver our solutions via the cloud (as a service) or on-premises with offerings that support applications as a service, data warehousing as a service, discovery analytics as a service and data management as a service;


•	Continue investing in partnerships to increase the number of solutions available on Teradata platforms, maximize customer value, and increase our market coverage; and


•	Continue to seek opportunities to expand our sales resources and reach, both in our data analytics and marketing applications businesses.

Future Trends

We believe that demand for our analytic data platforms will continue to increase due to the continued growth of data volumes and types of data, the scale and complexity of business requirements, and the growing use of new data elements and more analytics over time. The adoption by customers of a broader set of analytics including predictive analytics, behavioral analytics, location analytics, connection analytics, and many others is driving more applications, usage and capacity. This increased breadth of analytics also drives the need for an overall architecture to manage an increasingly complex analytics environment. As a result, we expect that Teradata’s leadership in analytic data platforms and Unified Data Architecture positions us for future growth.

This growth, however, is not expected to be without its challenges from general economic conditions, competitive pressures, alternative technologies, and other risks and uncertainties. Since mid-2012, Teradata has seen a change in customers’ buying patterns, particularly in the Americas region, with respect to large capital investments and related services due to capital constraints, short-term investment priorities and lower cost alternatives. Currently, we believe that the greatest challenge for future revenue growth relates to pressures on large capital expenditures. We believe that a number of factors are contributing to a slowdown in our data and analytics revenue growth, including: information technology budget constraints; prior investments made by several of our existing customers to build out their Teradata integrated data warehousing ("IDW") environments; a current focus of investments in their analytical

ecosystems which have lower average selling prices than IDW environments; and to a lesser degree the transfer of some IDW workloads to other platforms in the ecosystem. In addition, as we broaden our product portfolio and market reach, we are starting to see smaller deal sizes and more revenue derived from our appliances, which is contributing to some extent to lower product gross margins.

Overall, we believe that IDW will remain a critical part of companies’ analytical ecosystems, and Teradata’s technology is highly differentiated with our ability to handle the concurrency and service level agreements of hundreds to thousands of mission-critical users and applications. Further, we believe the Company has the opportunity for continued revenue growth from both the expansion of our existing customers’ analytical ecosystems (through growth in IDW and Teradata big data analytics) as well as the addition of new customers.

Although we did not experience significant changes related to competitive and/or pricing trends for our analytic data platforms in the quarter ended March 31, 2015, there is risk that pricing and competitive pressures on our solutions could occur in the future as, among other things, major customers evaluate and rationalize their analytics infrastructure, particularly to the extent that cost becomes a top priority in companies and lower-cost, but less-sophisticated, alternatives are more seriously and frequently considered. These alternatives generally do not enable companies to perform mission-critical, complex business analytic workloads or provide a Unified Data Architecture to address mission-critical analytics, discovery analytics, and data management such as those enabled by Teradata’s offerings. As described above, we continue to believe that analytics will remain a high priority for companies and will drive growth for Teradata’s leading solutions. Moreover, we will continue to be committed to new product development and achieving a positive yield from our research and development spending and resources, which are intended to drive future demand.

In our marketing applications business, we believe that demand for our integrated marketing solutions is likely to increase as marketing continues to be transformed by the increased usage of data and analytics to understand and optimize the marketing process and its impact on consumers. In addition, the increased usage of digital marketing channels, such as social and mobile, is increasing the usage of big data in marketing. We believe that Teradata’s expertise in data and analytics differentiates the products and services offered by the marketing applications division.

Our marketing applications are offered in the cloud as software as a service or on-premises and include solutions for marketing resource management, omni-channel marketing, digital marketing, and marketing analytics that enable our customers to implement their data-driven marketing strategies with agility and efficiency. We are continuing to invest in this business through product enhancements and expanded software as a service offerings. We believe these investments will help drive future revenue growth as will our plans to further penetrate Teradata’s existing customer base. However, we expect to continue to be challenged by, among other things, strong competition in the market as existing competitors build out their marketing offerings through considerable investments and new smaller players enter the market looking to take advantage of this transformation in marketing.

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates given that a portion of the Company’s operations and revenue occur outside the United States and in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Based on currency rates as of April 30, 2015, Teradata is expecting approximately five percentage points of adverse impact from currency translation on our full-year 2015 reported revenue growth rate and a corresponding currency impact on our profitability.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2015

Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014

Revenue



			% of				% of
In millions	2015		Revenue		2014		Revenue
Product revenue	$	241	41.4	%	$	273	43.5	%
Service revenue	341		58.6	%	355		56.5	%
Total revenue	$	582	100	%	$	628	100	%

Teradata revenue decreased $46 million or 7% in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014. Foreign currency fluctuations had a 5% adverse impact on revenue in the quarter. Product revenue decreased 12% in the first quarter of 2015 from the prior-year period primarily due to the timing of deals that moved out of the first quarter and foreign currency fluctuations, which had a 5% adverse impact on product revenue in the quarter. Services revenue decreased 4% in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the prior-year period. This was due to a 7% adverse impact from foreign currency and an underlying 2% increase in maintenance services revenue.

Gross Margin



			% of				% of
In millions	2015		Revenue		2014		Revenue
Gross margin
Product gross margin	$	132	54.8	%	$	181	66.3	%
Service gross margin	145		42.5	%	152		42.8	%
Total gross margin	$	277	47.6	%	$	333	53.0	%

The decrease in product gross margin was caused by the high mix of hardware versus software deals, which was driven by a few large transactions in the quarter. Product gross margins were also negatively impacted by foreign currency, a lower mix of our integrated data warehousing products, and a reduction in product volume. Services gross margin was positively impacted by the increased mix of higher margin maintenance revenue. This was more than offset by a decline in consulting services margins primarily due to the timing of work in process that will be recognized in future periods, and the investments we are making in our marketing applications and Teradata cloud capabilities.

Operating Expenses



			% of				% of
In millions	2015		Revenue		2014		Revenue
Operating expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses	$	184	31.6	%	$	188	29.9	%
Research and development expenses	63		10.8	%	56		8.9	%
Total operating expenses	$	247	42.4	%	$	244	38.9	%

The decrease in Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") expense of $4 million is a result of the change in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by investments in demand creation resulting from our strategic investment initiatives. Research and Development ("R&D") expenses increased 13% due to additional investments in big data analytics, cloud and marketing applications, which includes R&D expense associated with our recent acquisitions. The increase in R&D expense was also caused by a decrease in capitalized software as compared to the prior year.

Other expense in the first quarter of 2014 arose primarily from an $8 million impairment in the carrying value of an equity investment.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income tax provisions for interim periods are based on estimated annual income tax rates, adjusted to reflect the effects of any significant infrequent or unusual items which are required to be discretely recognized within the current interim period. The Company’s intention is to permanently reinvest its foreign earnings outside of the United States. As a result, the effective tax rates in the periods presented are largely based upon the forecasted pre-tax earnings mix between the United States and other foreign taxing jurisdictions where the Company conducts its business under its current structure. The Company estimates its full-year effective tax rate for 2015 to be approximately 25% to 26%, which takes into consideration, among other things, the forecasted earnings mix by jurisdiction for 2015. The estimate also assumes that the U.S. Federal Research and Development Tax Credit (“US R&D Tax Credit”), which expired on December 31, 2014, will be retroactively reinstated sometime during 2015. If the credit is not reinstated during 2015, we estimate our effective tax rate will be negatively impacted by approximately 80 basis points. The forecasted tax rate is based on the overseas profits being taxed at an overall effective tax rate of approximately 12%, as compared to the federal statutory tax rate of 35% in the United States.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014 was 26.7% and 28.0%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by a higher percentage of forecasted foreign pre-tax earnings mix in the current period versus the prior period.

Revenue and Gross Margin by Operating Segment

Effective January 1, 2015, Teradata implemented an organizational change in which Teradata now manages its business in two divisions, which are also the Company’s operating segments: (1) data and analytics, and (2) marketing applications. This change will enable each division to be more sharply focused in rapidly addressing the dynamics of each market, and in bringing the best solutions to our customers. 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 evaluates the performance of the segments based on revenue and multiple profit measures, including segment gross margin. For management reporting purposes, assets are not allocated to the segments. Our segment results are reconciled to total company results reported under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in Note 11of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited). Prior period segment information has been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

The following table presents revenue and operating performance by segment for the three months ended March 31:



			% of				% of
In millions	2015		Revenue		2014		Revenue
Segment revenue
Data and Analytics	$	536	92.1	%	$	577	91.9	%
Marketing Applications	46		7.9	%	51		8.1	%
Total segment revenue	$	582	100	%	$	628	100	%
Segment gross margin
Data and Analytics	$	269	50.2	%	$	322	55.8	%
Marketing Applications	18		39.1	%	23		45.1	%
Total segment gross margin	$	287	49.3	%	$	345	54.9	%

Data and Analytics: Revenue decreased 7% in the first quarter of 2015 from the first quarter of 2014, which included a 5% adverse revenue impact from foreign currency fluctuations. Americas revenue was down 7% primarily driven by the timing of deals that moved out of the first quarter. The Americas decline in revenue was partially offset by 7% constant currency growth in International, led by strong growth in Western Europe. Gross margins were down from first quarter of 2014 due to the high mix of hardware versus software and the impact of foreign currency exchange rates.

Marketing Applications: Revenue decreased 10% in the first quarter of 2015 from the first quarter of 2014. The revenue decrease included a 7% adverse revenue impact from foreign currency fluctuations. The overall gross margin decrease is primarily driven by investments in the cloud business as well as lower professional services margins, which were impacted by investments to help better position the Company to go broader in the market and drive long-term growth in this business.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash provided by operating activities decreased by $121 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to timing of collections of receivables and lower net income.

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

The table below shows net cash provided by operating activities and capital expenditures for the following periods:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
In millions	2015			2014
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	222		$	343
Less:
Expenditures for property and equipment	(17		)	(12		)
Additions to capitalized software	(15		)	(21		)
Free cash flow	$	190		$	310

Financing activities and certain other investing activities are not included in our calculation of free cash flow. There were no other investing activities in the first quarter of 2015. In the first quarter of 2014, these other investing activities primarily consisted of equity investment activities that were closed during the period.

Teradata’s financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 consisted of cash outflows for share repurchases, payments on credit facility borrowings, and proceeds from long-term debt. The Company purchased 6.3 million shares of its common stock at an average price per share of $43.34 in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2.0 million shares at an average price per share of $42.42 in the three months ended March 31, 2014. The first program (the “dilution offset program”), allows the Company to repurchase Teradata common stock to the extent of cash received from the exercise of stock options and the Teradata Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) to offset dilution from shares issued pursuant to these plans. As of March 31, 2015, under the Company’s second share repurchase program (the “general share repurchase program”), the Company had $131 million of authorization remaining to repurchase outstanding shares of Teradata common stock. On May 4, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized an additional $300 million to be utilized to repurchase Teradata Corporation common stock under the Company’s general share repurchase program, which resulted in a total of approximately $431 million authorized for share repurchases under this program as of that date. Share repurchases made by the Company are reported on a trade date basis. Our share repurchase activity depends on factors such as our working capital needs, our cash requirements for capital investments, our stock price, and economic and market conditions.

Proceeds from the ESPP and the exercise of stock options were $6 million and $7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. These proceeds are included in other financing activities, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited). Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2015 the Company repaid $220 million against the principal balance of its revolving credit facility, which is discussed further below.

Our total in cash and cash equivalents held outside the United States in various foreign subsidiaries was $826 million as of March 31, 2015 and $785 million as of December 31, 2014. The remaining balance held in the United States was $55 million as of March 31, 2015 and $49 million as of December 31, 2014. Under current tax laws and regulations, if cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments held outside the United States are distributed to the United States in the form of dividends or otherwise, we would be subject to additional U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and possible foreign withholding taxes. As of March 31, 2015, we have not provided for the U.S. federal tax liability on approximately $1 billion of foreign earnings that are considered permanently reinvested outside of the United States.

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

The Company’s ability to generate positive cash flows from operations is dependent on general economic conditions, competitive pressures, and other business and risk factors described in the Company’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2014 Annual Report”), and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, or otherwise to comply with the terms of the credit facility and term loan agreement, the Company may be required to seek additional financing alternatives.

Long-term debt. On March 25, 2015, Teradata replaced its existing five-year, $300 million revolving credit facility with a new $400 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility ends on March 25, 2020 at which point any remaining outstanding borrowings would be due for repayment unless extended by agreement of the parties for up to two additional one-year periods. The interest rate charged on borrowings pursuant to the Credit Facility can vary depending on the interest rate option the Company chooses to utilize and the Company’s leverage ratio at the time of the borrowing. In the near term, Teradata would anticipate choosing a floating rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The Credit Facility is unsecured and contains certain representations and warranties, conditions, affirmative, negative and financial covenants, and events of default customary for such facilities. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had no outstanding borrowings on the Credit Facility, and was in compliance with all covenants.

Also on March 25, 2015, Teradata closed on a new senior unsecured $600 million five-year term loan, the proceeds of which were used to pay off the remaining $247 million of principal on its existing term loan, pay off the $220 million outstanding balance on the prior credit facility, and to fund share repurchases. The $600 million term loan is payable in quarterly installments, which will commence on March 31, 2016, with all remaining principal due in March 2020. The outstanding principal amount under the term loan agreement bears interest at a floating rate based upon a negotiated base rate or a Eurodollar rate plus in each case a margin based on the leverage ratio of the Company. As of March 31, 2015, the term loan principal outstanding was $600 million and carried an interest rate of 1.4375%. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2015.

Contractual and Other Commercial Commitments. There has been no significant change in our contractual and other commercial commitments as described in the 2014 Annual Report. Our guarantees and product warranties are discussed in Note 7 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited).

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. In connection with the preparation of these financial statements, we are required to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and the related disclosure of contingent liabilities. These assumptions, estimates and judgments are based on historical experience and assumptions that are believed to be

reasonable at the time. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Our critical accounting policies are those that require assumptions to be made about matters that are highly uncertain. Different estimates could have a material impact on our financial results. Judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of these policies and estimates may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions or circumstances. Our management periodically reviews these estimates and assumptions to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and are materially correct.

In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require significant management judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting among available alternatives would not produce a materially different result. The significant accounting policies and estimates that we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results are discussed in the 2014 Annual Report. Teradata’s senior management has reviewed these critical accounting policies and related disclosures and determined that there were no significant changes in our critical accounting policies in the three months ended March 31, 2015. Also, there were no significant changes in our estimates associated with those policies.

In connection with the change in segment reporting, the Company performed a goodwill impairment assessment during the first quarter of 2015. The Company reviewed four reporting units as each segment consisted of separate reporting units for the Americas and International regions. The goodwill impairment analysis did not result in an impairment. However, the marketing applications reporting units are at greater risk for impairment if actual results differ materially from projections. The amount of goodwill allocated to these reporting units was $579 million.

New Accounting Pronouncements

See discussion in Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) for new accounting pronouncements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

There have not been any material changes to the market risk factors previously disclosed in Part II, Item 7A of the Company’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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

Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance as of March 31, 2015.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Purchase of Company Common Stock

During the first quarter of 2015, the Company executed purchases of 6.3 million shares of its common stock at an average price per share of $43.34 under the two share repurchase programs that were authorized by our Board of Directors. The first program (the “dilution offset program”), allows the Company to repurchase Teradata common stock to the extent of cash received from the exercise of stock options and the Teradata Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) to offset dilution from shares issued pursuant to these plans. As of March 31, 2015, under the Company’s second share repurchase program (the “general share repurchase program”), the Company had $131 million of authorization remaining to repurchase outstanding shares of Teradata common stock. On May 4, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized an additional $300 million to be utilized to repurchase Teradata Corporation common stock under the Company’s general share repurchase program, which resulted in a total of approximately $431 million authorized for share repurchases under this program as of that date. Share repurchases made by the Company are reported on a trade date basis.
