Computed values are grepcent-computed from the verified facts above and may differ from ratios the company itself reports. Free cash flow = operating cash flow − capital expenditures. Net margin = net income ÷ revenue. Operating margin = operating income ÷ revenue. Revenue YoY = FY2025 revenue ÷ FY2024 revenue − 1 (consecutive fiscal years only). ROE = net income ÷ period-end stockholders' equity.

Overview

At Teradata Corporation ("we," "us," "Teradata," or the "Company"), we are focused on helping organizations activate the intelligence in their enterprise and turn the insights from across their organization into outcomes. We believe that we have architected our platform for autonomous AI operations and organizations’ toughest data and analytics challenges, particularly as enterprises are evaluating how to cost effectively deploy agentic AI. We’ve also seen an emergence of hybrid environments that reflected a growing understanding of how enterprises can best leverage both on-premises and cloud deployment options to meet their diverse organizational needs.

With our AI and knowledge platform, underpinned by our extensive patented workload management optimization technology, we believe we are well positioned to help enterprises become more autonomous, while enabling our customers to focus on managing, securing, and providing trustworthy data for AI and analytics across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

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

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

•Total Annual Recurring Revenue ("Total ARR") - annual contract value for all active and contractually binding term-based contracts at the end of the period, including cloud, recurring AI services, subscriptions, hardware rental, maintenance and software upgrade rights.

•Public Cloud ARR (included within Total ARR) - annual contract value for all active and contractually binding term-based contracts at the end of the period that are operated in a public cloud environment.

Second Quarter Financial Overview

As more fully discussed in later sections of this MD&A, the following were what we view as the more significant financial items for the second quarter of 2026:

•At the end of the second quarter of 2026, Total ARR was $1.509 billion compared to $1.489 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2025, increasing 1% as compared to the second quarter of 2025, including a 1% negative impact from foreign currency fluctuations.

•At the end of the second quarter of 2026, Public Cloud ARR was $686 million compared to $634 million at the end of the second quarter of 2025, increasing 8% as compared to the second quarter of 2025, with a 1% negative impact from foreign currency fluctuations.

•Total revenue was $410 million for the second quarter of 2026, increasing by $2 million compared to the second quarter of 2025, with recurring revenue up 3%. Perpetual software licenses, hardware and other revenue increased by 167% ($5 million), and consulting services revenue decreased 24%. Foreign currency fluctuations did not have a material impact on total revenue for the quarter compared to the prior year.

•Gross margin increased to 59.3% in the second quarter of 2026 from 56.4% in the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to a greater mix of recurring revenue in the period.

•Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2026 decreased 5% compared to the second quarter of 2025, largely from lower employee compensation expense in the second quarter of 2026, due to the impact of restructuring actions taken in the prior year.

•The Company saw an operating income of $48 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to operating income of $24 million in the second quarter of 2025.

•Net income in the second quarter of 2026 was $46 million, compared to $9 million in the second quarter of 2025.

[[/GREPCENT_TABLE]]

Total revenue increased $2 million, or 0%, in the second quarter of 2026, with no material impact from foreign currency fluctuations. Recurring revenue increased 3% as compared to the second quarter of 2025 including a 1% positive impact from foreign currency fluctuations. Recurring revenue for the second quarter of 2026 included growth from Public Cloud revenue, offset in part by lower annual upfront software subscription revenue. Revenue from perpetual software licenses, hardware and other increased $5 million year over year, primarily driven by perpetual hardware. Consulting services revenue decreased 24% or $12 million in the second quarter of 2026, with a 1% negative impact from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The consulting services revenue decrease is primarily the result of lower order performance from the second half of 2025 and first quarter of 2026.

Financial and Performance Measures

Our Total ARR is composed of three main categories: (1) Public Cloud ARR, (2) ARR related to on-premises subscription-based contracts and private cloud ("Subscription ARR"), and (3) ARR related to our legacy perpetual maintenance and software upgrade rights. At June 30, 2026 and 2025 our Total ARR consisted of:

[[/GREPCENT_TABLE]]

At the end of the second quarter of 2026, Total ARR increased 1% as compared to the second quarter of 2025, including a 1% negative impact from foreign currency fluctuations. At the end of the second quarter of 2026, Public Cloud ARR increased 8% as compared to the second quarter of 2025, with a 1% negative impact from foreign currency fluctuations. Public Cloud ARR growth in the second quarter of 2026 was primarily driven by customer demand of our Public Cloud offering and customer migrations. The decreases in maintenance and software upgrade rights ARR were primarily driven by customer migrations to Public Cloud ARR and on-premises erosions.

In the second quarter of 2026, we experienced the following trends:

•Customers expanding into additional cloud capabilities as they see value when they migrate to our Public Cloud offering.

•Customer interest in AI-driven use cases continues to grow across various industries, including initial transactions incorporating our AI capabilities.

•Some customers implementing cloud migration projects on a staged basis over time.

•Continued macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty, including evolving global trade and tariff policy and elevated interest rates, contributing to elongated customer decision cycles and staged purchasing decisions.

•Began transitioning customers to a new unit-based pricing model designed to provide greater flexibility in how customers consume compute capacity across deployment options, including elastic and consumption-oriented purchasing.

Table of Contents

As a portion of the Company’s operations and revenue occur outside the United States, and in currencies other than the United States ("U.S.") dollar, the Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Based on currency rates as of June 30, 2026, Teradata is now estimating 0.0%-0.5% positive impact from currency translation on our 2026 full-year total reported revenues.

We expect expansion and to a lesser degree, migration activity as the primary contributors for Public Cloud ARR growth in 2026.

Gross Profit

[[GREPCENT_TABLE]]
[["","","","% of","","","","% of"],["In millions","2026","","Revenue","","2025","","Revenue"],["Recurring","$","243","","","66.9","%","","$","235","","","66.4","%"],["Perpetual software licenses, hardware and other","2","","","25.0","%","","\u2014","","","\u2014","%"],["Consulting services","(2)","","","(5.1)","%","","(5)","","","(9.8)","%"],["Total gross profit","$","243","","","59.3","%","","$","230","","","56.4","%"]]
[[/GREPCENT_TABLE]]

The increase in recurring revenue gross profit as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to continued improvement in our Public Cloud margin rate, offset in part by a higher mix of Public Cloud revenues versus on-premises revenue as compared to the prior-year period.

Perpetual software licenses, hardware and other gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased as compared to the prior-year period primarily due to deal mix.

Consulting services gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased as compared to the prior year primarily due to cost reduction efforts taken over the past year.

Operating Expenses

[[GREPCENT_TABLE]]
[["","","","% of","","","","% of"],["In millions","2026","","Revenue","","2025","","Revenue"],["Selling, general and administrative expenses","$","120","","","29.3","%","","$","135","","","33.1","%"],["Research and development expenses","75","","","18.3","%","","71","","","17.4","%"],["Total operating expenses","$","195","","","47.6","%","","$","206","","","50.5","%"]]
[[/GREPCENT_TABLE]]

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense decreased year over year due to lower employee compensation expense, the result of continued budget discipline focused on cost reductions across the Company, including the impact of restructuring actions taken in the prior year. Research and development ("R&D") expense increased year over year due to investments in Public Cloud and AI-related technology opportunities offset in part by continued cost reduction initiatives.

Other Expense, net

[[/GREPCENT_TABLE]]

Other expense, net in the second quarter of 2026 and 2025 is comprised primarily of interest expense on the recently paid-off long-term debt and finance leases, as well as benefit costs on our pension and postemployment plans, largely offset by interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents and gains from foreign currency transactions.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ("MD&A")

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K ("Annual Report"). This Annual Report 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 several factors, including those discussed in other sections of this Annual Report. See "Risk Factors" and "Forward-looking Statements." 

OVERVIEW

At Teradata Corporation ("we," "us," "Teradata," or the "Company"), we are focused on helping organizations activate the intelligence in their enterprise and turn the insights from across their organization into outcomes. We believe that we have architected our platform for autonomous AI operations and organizations’ toughest data and analytics challenges, particularly as enterprises are evaluating how to cost effectively deploy agentic AI. We’ve also seen a resurgence of hybrid environments that reflected a growing understanding of how enterprises can best leverage both on-premises and cloud deployment options to meet their diverse business needs. With our AI and knowledge platform, underpinned by our extensive patented workload management optimization technology, we believe we are well positioned to help enterprises become more autonomous, while enabling our customers to focus on managing, securing, and providing trustworthy data for AI and analytics across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

Teradata’s business, key priorities, and strategy is discussed under Part I, Item I of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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

•Total Annual Recurring Revenue ("Total ARR") - annual contract value for all active and contractually binding term-based contracts at the end of the period, including cloud, recurring AI services, subscriptions, hardware rental, maintenance and software upgrade rights.

•Public Cloud ARR (included within Total ARR) - annual contract value for all active and contractually binding term-based contracts at the end of the period that are operated in a public cloud environment.

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

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

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

◦The quarterly dollar-based, cloud net expansion rate is calculated by taking the ARR from the current period and dividing by the ARR from the base period.

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

2025 FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

As more fully discussed in later sections of this MD&A, the following are the financial highlights for 2025:

•Revenue of $1,663 million decreased by 5% in 2025 as compared to 2024, with a 2% decrease in recurring revenue. Foreign currency fluctuations had no impact on total revenue and a 1% positive impact on recurring revenue compared to the prior year. The recurring revenue decline was primarily driven by a decrease in revenue from on-premises solutions, which was offset in part by an increase in Public Cloud revenue. Perpetual software licenses, hardware and other revenue decreased by 26% and Consulting Services revenue decreased by 19%. Revenues from perpetual software licenses, hardware and other decreased primarily due to our strategic shift towards recurring revenue. The decline in consulting service revenue was additionally due to our focus on higher-margin engagements and purposeful decrease in Consulting Services given the development of our strategic partner ecosystem.

•Gross profit as a percent of revenue was 59.4% in 2025, a decrease from 60.5% in 2024, primarily due to a higher mix of Public Cloud revenue, and declines in Consulting Services revenue outpacing associated cost reductions. These factors were partially offset by an improvement in Public Cloud margins year-over-year.

•Operating expenses in 2025 decreased by 8% as compared to 2024, primarily driven by our cost discipline initiatives, primarily within selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses.

•Operating income was $205 million in 2025, down from $209 million in 2024.

•Net income was $130 million in 2025 versus net income of $114 million in 2024, primarily due to lower expenses from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, and interest expense. Diluted net earnings per share was $1.35 in 2025 compared to diluted earnings per share of $1.16 in 2024.

RESULTS FROM OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024

For discussion of fiscal year 2024 versus 2023 see "Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report filed with the SEC for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

[[/GREPCENT_TABLE]]

2025 compared to 2024 - Total revenue decreased 5% in 2025, which included no impact from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Recurring revenue declined 2% in 2025, which included a 1% positive impact from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Within recurring revenue, a decline in revenue from on-premises solutions was partially offset by growth in Public Cloud revenue, consistent with prior-year trends.

Revenues from perpetual software licenses, hardware, and other were down 26% in 2025, including 1% of adverse impact from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, as customers continue to transition to our subscription-based offerings, consistent with our overall strategy towards recurring revenue.

Consulting Services revenue decreased 19%, with no significant impact from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The Consulting Services revenue decrease is an expected result of the lower order booking activity in the second half of 2024 and into 2025.

As a portion of our operations and revenue occur outside the United States, and in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, we are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Based on currency rates as of December 31, 2025, Teradata is estimating a 0.25%-to-0.75% positive impact from currency translation on our 2026 full-year total revenues.

Financial and Performance Measures

Total ARR is composed of three main categories: (1) Public Cloud ARR, (2) ARR related to on-premises subscription-based contracts and private cloud ("Subscription ARR"), and (3) ARR related to our legacy perpetual maintenance and software upgrade rights. Our financial and performance measures for the following years ended December 31 was as follows:

[[GREPCENT_TABLE]]
[["ARR"],["","2025","","2024"],["In millions"],["Public Cloud","$","701","","$","609"],["Subscription","735","","766"],["Maintenance and Software upgrade rights","86","","99"],["Total ARR","$","1,522","","$","1,474"],["Cloud Net Expansion rate","108","%","","117","%"]]
[[/GREPCENT_TABLE]]

Total ARR increased 3% versus the prior year, with declines in Subscription, and Maintenance and Software upgrade rights ARR off-set in part by growth in Public Cloud ARR. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations had a positive 2% impact on total ARR. Our overall Total ARR increase reflects meaningful improvement in customer retention as compared to the prior year.

Public Cloud ARR increased 15% versus the prior year primarily due to a net expansion rate of 108%, as well as on-premises customers migrating to Teradata's cloud platform. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations had a positive 2% impact on Public Cloud ARR. Public Cloud ARR growth and the Cloud Net Expansion rate were primarily driven by customer demand for our differentiated offerings, resulting in new workloads for both migrations and expansions. Subscription ARR decreased 4% in 2025 from the prior year primarily due to migrations from on-premises to Public Cloud, and included a 3% positive impact from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Our Maintenance and Software Upgrade Rights ARR declined 13% compared to 2024. This was expected as we continue to transition to a subscription model and customers increasingly purchased Teradata on a subscription and/or public cloud basis.

We expect to see expansion as the primary contributor for Total ARR growth in 2026 and expansion and conversion as the primary contributors for Public Cloud ARR growth in 2026. In addition, we expect a slight negative impact from annual upfront software subscription revenue associated with on-premises recurring revenue in 2026.

Gross Profit

The Company often uses specific terms and definitions to describe variances in gross profit. The terms and definitions most often used are as follows:

•Revenue Mix - The proportion of recurring, consulting, and perpetual software licenses, hardware and other revenue that generates the total revenue of the Company. Changes in revenue mix can have an impact on gross profit even if total revenue remains unchanged.

•Recurring Revenue Mix - The proportion of various recurring revenue offerings that comprise the total of recurring revenue. For example, a higher mix of cloud deals will have a negative impact on total recurring gross profit until we achieve scale.

•Deal Mix - Refers to the type of transactions closed within the period that generate the total perpetual software license, hardware and other revenue. For example, a higher mix of Teradata versus third-party products can positively impact profitability.

2025 compared to 2024 - The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue was primarily driven by a higher mix of Public Cloud revenue, offset in part by improving Public Cloud gross profit rates year-over-year.
