TERADATA CORPORATION 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year endedDecember 31, 2020 (the "2020 Annual Report"). The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. OverviewTeradata Corporation ("we," "us," "Teradata," or the "Company") is the leading connected multi-cloud data platform for enterprise analytics at scale. Our connected multi-cloud data platform, Teradata Vantage, allows customers to integrate and simplify their multi-cloud data and analytic ecosystems, streamline access and management of their data, and use analytics to derive business value from diverse data types. Our Teradata Vantage platform is designed and built to run across on-premises, private cloud and public cloud environments. This platform is supported by business consulting, support services and partner networks that enable customers to extract insights from across a company's entire data and analytics ecosystem. Teradata's strategy is based on our differentiated value proposition for the top 10,000 largest organizations in the world. Our strategy is to provide a connected multi-cloud data platform, Teradata Vantage, that supports the needs of enterprises from start to scale. Teradata Vantage is an effective platform for driving business outcomes, with a partnering approach, embracing modern ecosystems and enabling users to build how they want. We are continuing to execute on our key priorities, including significant product expansion of our Teradata Vantage multi-cloud data platform offering, expanding our footprint with existing customers and adding new customers, driving focus on modern cloud partner ecosystems and driving operational efficiency and agility across the company. Our strategy is further supported by various people initiatives to drive a growth-oriented culture, as well as an increased focus on diversity, equity and inclusiveness, to attract and support high performing, top talent, and diverse teams. 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 contract value for all active and contractually binding term-based contracts at the end of a period. ARR includes maintenance, software upgrade rights, public cloud and on-premises subscription-based transactions. •Public cloud ARR (included within total ARR) - annual contract value for all active and contractually binding term based contracts at the end of a period that are operated in a public cloud environment; and •Remaining performance obligation ("RPO")/Backlog - the price of firm orders for which work has not been performed or goods have not been delivered and the Company is contractually required to perform. COVID-19 Update See Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" and Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the 2020 Annual Report for a discussion related to risks and impact of COVID-19 on the Company. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we are continuing to execute our pandemic response plan, and theTeradata Pandemic Response Team is refining and executing return-to-office 19 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents plans with "safety first" considerations. Customer-facing teams are also proactively working to identify ways to assist customers, meet service level commitments, and engage with customers via virtual events. Despite these efforts, there remains a fair degree of uncertainty regarding the potential impact of the pandemic on our business, from both a financial and operational perspective, and the scope and costs associated with additional measures that may be necessary in response to the pandemic going forward, particularly in light of the potential impact of one or more COVID-19 variants. We will continue our diligent efforts to monitor and respond as appropriate to the impacts of the pandemic on our business, including the status of our workforce, supply chain, customers, suppliers, and vendors, based on the priorities described above. Our actions will continue to be informed by the requirements and recommendations of the federal, state or local authorities. We will remain agile and have contingency plans in place to appropriately respond to conditions as they unfold. Second Quarter Financial Overview As more fully discussed in later sections of this MD&A, the following were significant financial items for the second quarter of 2021: •At the end of the second quarter of 2021, ARR was$1.426 billion , increasing 9% as compared to the second quarter of 2020, including a 2% positive impact from foreign currency translation, as compared to the second quarter of 2020. At the end of second quarter of 2021, Public cloud ARR was$139 million , increasing 157% as compared to the second quarter of 2020, including a 4% positive impact from foreign currency fluctuations. •Total revenue was$491 million for the second quarter of 2021, a 7% increase compared to the second quarter of 2020, with an underlying 16% increase in recurring revenue. Perpetual software licenses, hardware and other revenue decreased 32%, and consulting services revenue decreased 10%. Foreign currency fluctuations had a 3% positive impact on total revenue for the quarter compared to the prior year. •Gross margin increased to 63.1% in the second quarter of 2021 from 56.0% in the second quarter of 2020, primarily due to a higher recurring revenue mix as compared to the prior period. •Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2021 decreased by 3% compared to the second quarter of 2020, primarily due to lower employee cost base resulting from the workforce reduction measures in 2020 offset by an increase in investments in cloud transformation and variable incentive compensation expense. •Operating income was$70 million in the second quarter of 2021, compared to$8 million in the second quarter of 2020. •Net income in the second quarter of 2021 was$44 million , compared to net loss of$43 million in the second quarter of 2020. •Total backlog of$2.611 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2021 was up 1% from the second quarter of the prior year. 20 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Results of Operations for the Three Months EndedJune 30, 2021 Compared to the Three Months EndedJune 30, 2020 Revenue % of % of In millions 2021 Revenue 2020 Revenue Recurring$ 376 76.5 %$ 323 70.8 % Perpetual software licenses, hardware and other 17 3.5 % 25 5.5 % Consulting services 98 20.0 % 109 23.9 % Total revenue$ 491 100.0 %$ 457 100.2 % Total revenue increased$34 million , or 7%, in second quarter of 2021 and included a 3% positive impact from foreign currency fluctuations. Recurring revenue grew 16%, including a 3% positive impact from foreign currency fluctuations. Recurring revenue increased due to a higher base of revenue driven by continued growth in public cloud and subscription ARR during 2020 and continued growth in public cloud ARR in 2021. Additionally, on-premises customer transactions involving substantive long-term commitments resulted in revenue being recognized on a recurring annual basis rather than a recurring quarterly basis and drove approximately$22 million of revenue into the second quarter from these arrangements versus ratably across four quarters. For full year 2021, we expect a mid- to high-single digit percentage increase in ARR growth. Recurring revenue is expected to grow at a high-single-digit to low-double-digit percentage compared to 2020. Public cloud ARR is expected to increase by at least 90% for the third quarter of 2021as compared to the same period in 2020 and increase by at least 100% year-over-year for full year of 2021 as compared to 2020. Taking into consideration the expected growth in recurring revenue, partially offset by anticipated reductions in perpetual software licenses, hardware and other revenue and consulting services revenue, we expect that total revenue will grow at low-single-digit to mid-single-digit percentage in 2021 as compared to 2020. Revenues from perpetual software licenses, hardware and other were down 32% in the second quarter of 2021 as customers continue to transition to subscription-based offerings, consistent with our overall strategy. Consulting services revenue decreased 10% in the second quarter of 2021, including a 4% positive impact from foreign currency fluctuations, as we are realigning and focusing our consulting resources on higher-margin engagements, both direct engagement with customers and joint engagement with partners that drive increased software consumption within our targeted customer base. Consulting revenue was also impacted by the transition to work from home and shelter-in-place orders that went in effect late in the first quarter of 2020 in response to COVID-19 as well as delays and/or cancellations of consulting projects due to customers' reduced spending in light of COVID-19. As a portion of the Company's operations and revenue occur outsidethe United States , and in currencies other than theU.S. dollar, the Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Based on currency rates as ofJuly 31, 2021 , Teradata is expecting approximately one to two percentage points of positive impact from currency translation on our 2021 full-year total revenues.

Upfront revenue recognition of certain renewed and expanded customer arrangements, discussed above, also had a positive impact on recurring revenue gross margin. The increase in perpetual software licenses, hardware and other gross profit as a percentage of revenue was primarily driven by deal mix. Consulting services gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased as compared to the prior year primarily due to improved resource mix utilization, increased revenue realization and our continued strategic focus on higher-value projects.

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 expects that a majority of its foreign earnings will be repatriated
to the U.S. The effective tax rates in the periods presented are largely based
upon the forecasted pre-tax earnings mix between the U.S. and other foreign
taxing jurisdictions where the Company conducts its business. The Company
estimates its full-year effective tax rate for 2021 will be approximately 30%,
which takes into consideration, among other things, the forecasted earnings mix
by jurisdiction and the estimated discrete items to be recognized in 2021. The
forecasted tax rate is based on the overseas profits being taxed at an overall
effective tax rate of approximately 24%, as compared to the U.S. federal
statutory tax rate of 21%.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were as
follows:
2021 2020
Effective tax rate 25.4 % (1,333.3) %
For the three months ended June 30, 2021 , the Company had no material discrete
tax adjustments.
For the three months ended June 30, 2020 , the Company recorded a net $39 million
of discrete tax expense, a majority of which related to the true-up of the
marginal tax rate from the first quarter based on revised full-year

forecasted earnings. As a result, the Company recorded income tax expense of $40
million on a pre-tax net loss of $3 million for the three months ended June 30,
2020 , resulting in an effective income tax rate of (1,333.3)%.
Revenue and Gross Profit by Operating Segment
Teradata manages its business under three geographic regions, which are 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, who is our President and Chief
Executive Officer, evaluates the performance of the segments based on revenue
and multiple profit measures, including segment gross profit. For management
reporting purposes, assets are not allocated to the segments. Our segment
results are reconciled to total company results reported under GAAP in Note 12
of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited).

derived from stock-based compensation vesting.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020 , the Company recorded $113 million of
discrete tax benefit. The discrete tax expense of $39 million recorded in the
second quarter of 2020 described above was offset by $152 million of discrete
tax benefit recorded in the first quarter of 2020, a majority of which related
to the transfer of intra-entity IP. As a result, the Company recorded income tax
benefit of $142 million on a pre-tax loss of $17 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2020 , resulting in an effective income tax rate of 835.3%.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash provided by operating activities was $335 million , which increased by $195
million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended
June 30, 2020 . The increase in cash provided by operating activities was
primarily due to increased net income (net of non-cash items such as
depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense and deferred
income taxes), strong cash collections and favorable working capital dynamics.
Teradata used approximately $30 million of cash in the first six months of 2021
for reorganizing and restructuring its operations and go-to-market functions to
align to its strategy, as compared to $21 million in the first six months of
2020.
Teradata's management uses a financial measure called "free cash flow," which is
not a measure defined under GAAP. We use free cash flow (which we define as net
cash provided by operating activities less investing activities related to
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 definitions 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
repurchases 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 net cash
used in investing activities related to capital expenditures, along with free
cash flow, for the following periods:
Six Months Ended June 30,

Financing activities and certain other investing activities are not included in
our calculation of free cash flow. There were no other investing activities for
the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
Teradata's financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
primarily consisted of cash outflows for share repurchases and payments on the
Company's finance leases and long-term debt. At June 30, 2021 , the Company had
no outstanding borrowings on its $400 million revolving credit facility entered
into in June 2018 (the "Credit Facility"). The Company repurchased approximately
3.4 million shares of its common stock at an average price per share of $35.31
in the six months ended June 30, 2021 , and 3.7 million shares at an average
price per share of $20.52 in the six months ended June 30, 2020 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. On July 28, 2019 ,
Teradata's Board of Directors authorized an additional $500 million to be
utilized to repurchase Teradata common stock under the Company's second share
repurchase program (the "general share repurchase program"). As of June 30,
2021 , the Company had $321 million of authorization remaining under this program
to repurchase outstanding shares of Teradata common stock. 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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
Proceeds from the ESPP and the exercise of stock options, net of tax, were
$18 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and $6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2020 . These proceeds are included in other financing
activities, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
(Unaudited).
Our total cash and cash equivalents held outside the United States in various
foreign subsidiaries was $463 million as of June 30, 2021 and $342 million as of
December 31, 2020 . The remaining balance held in the United States was $221
million as of June 30, 2021 and $191 million as of December 31, 2020 . The
Company considers a majority of its foreign earnings will be repatriated to the
United States . Effective January 1, 2018 , the United States moved to a
territorial system of international taxation, and as such will generally not
subject future foreign earnings to United States taxation upon repatriation in
future years.
Management believes current cash, cash generated from operations and the $400
million available under the 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 2020 Annual Report and elsewhere in
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. If the Company is unable to generate
sufficient cash flows from operations, or otherwise comply with the terms of the
Credit Facility or its term loan agreement, the Company may be required to seek
additional financing alternatives.
Long-term Debt. There has been no significant change in our long-term debt as
described in the 2020 Annual Report. Our long-term debt is discussed in Note 10
of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited).
Contractual and Other Commercial Commitments. There has been no significant
change in our contractual and other commercial commitments as described in the
2020 Annual Report. Our commitments and contingencies are discussed in Note 8 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.
We assessed certain accounting matters that generally require consideration of
forecasted financial information in context with the information reasonably
available to us as of June 30, 2021 and through the date of this report. The
accounting matters assessed included, but were not limited to, our allowance for
doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation, the carrying value of our goodwill
and other long-lived assets, financial assets, valuation allowances for tax
assets and revenue recognition.
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
