SAP Litigation Settlement

On February 19, 2026, Teradata entered into a settlement agreement with SAP. From the settlement, Teradata received a gross payment of $480 million in the first quarter of 2026. After accounting for legal fees and other expenses for the litigation and resulting settlement, the pre-tax net amount was $359 million, with $79 million of tax expense being recognized as a discrete item for US GAAP purposes in the first quarter. The net after tax settlement positively impacted GAAP Diluted EPS by $2.90 in the first quarter of 2026. For both Cash flow from Operations and Free Cash Flow, the pre-tax amount of $359 million was reflected in the first quarter of 2026. In addition, an estimated $57 million of cash tax payments related to the settlement is expected to be paid by the end of 2026 which will change the Cash flow from Operations and Free Cash Flow linearity. Regarding the tax payments, approximately half is expected to be paid in second quarter of 2026, and the remaining half is expected to be split between the third and fourth quarters of 2026. On an after-tax net basis, the settlement is expected to provide a benefit of $302 million to Cash from Operations and Free Cash Flow.

Teradata is introducing Adjusted Free Cash Flow to provide a normalized free cash flow measure for the business. Adjusted Free Cash Flow will reflect adjustments for the impact from the SAP litigation and resulting settlement gross proceeds, legal and other expenses and incremental cash taxes specific to the settlement.

Outlook

For the second quarter of 2026:

Recurring revenue in the range of -2% to flat year-over-year
Total revenue in the range of -4% to -2% year-over-year
GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $0.22 to $0.26 per share
Non-GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $0.53 to $0.57 per share⁽²⁾

For the full year 2026, Teradata increases the following ranges:

GAAP diluted EPS is now expected to be in the range of $4.22 to $4.32
Cash flow from operations of $642 million to $662 million, which includes an after-tax net benefit of $302 million related to a settlement with SAP
Adjusted free cash flow of $320 million to $340 million⁽³⁾

For the full year 2026, Teradata reaffirms the following ranges:

Total ARR growth of 2% to 4% year-over-year
Recurring revenue in the range of flat to 2% year-over-year
Total revenue range in the range of -2% to flat year-over-year
Non-GAAP diluted EPS in the range of $2.55 to $2.65 per share⁽²⁾

Supplemental Financial Information

Additional information regarding Teradata's operating results is provided below as well as on Teradata's website at investor.teradata.com.

The impact of currency is determined by calculating the prior-period results using the current-year monthly average currency rates. See the foreign currency fluctuation schedule, which is used to determine revenue on a constant currency ("CC") basis, on the Investor Relations page of the Company's website at investor.teradata.com.

Annual recurring revenue*	$1,492	$1,442	3 %	2 %
Public cloud ARR**	$686	$606	13 %	12 %

The impact of currency on ARR is determined by calculating the prior period ending ARR using the current period end currency rates.

* Total Annual Recurring Revenue ("Total ARR") is defined as the 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. The Company believes this is a useful metric to investors as it demonstrates progress toward achieving our strategic objectives as outlined in the Form 10-K and Form 10-Q.

** Public cloud ARR is defined as the 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. The Company believes this is a useful metric to investors as it demonstrates progress toward achieving our strategic objectives as outlined in the Form 10-K and Form 10-Q.

Teradata reports its results in accordance with GAAP. However, as described below, the Company believes that certain non-GAAP measures such as free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, all of which exclude certain items, and which may be reported on a constant currency basis, are useful for investors. Our non-GAAP measures are not meant to be considered in isolation to, as substitutes for, or superior to, results determined in accordance with GAAP, and should be read only in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Each of our non-GAAP measures do not have a uniform definition under GAAP and therefore, Teradata's definition may differ from other companies' definitions of these measures.

The following tables reconcile Teradata's actual and projected results and EPS under GAAP to the Company's actual and projected non-GAAP results and EPS for the periods presented, which exclude certain specified items. Our management internally uses supplemental non-GAAP financial measures, such as gross profit, operating income, net income, and EPS, excluding certain items, to understand, manage and evaluate our business and support operating decisions on a regular basis. The Company believes such non-GAAP financial measures (1) provide useful information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of the Company's ongoing operations, (2) are useful for period-over-period comparisons of such operations and results, that may be more easily compared to peer companies and allow investors a view of the Company's operating results excluding stock-based compensation expense and special items, (3) provide useful information to management and investors regarding present and future business trends, and (4) provide consistency and comparability with past reports and projections of future results.

				i.	Represents the income tax effect of the pre-tax adjustments to reconcile GAAP to Non-GAAP income based on the applicable jurisdictional statutory tax rate of the underlying item, including the $79 million discrete income tax effect of the SAP settlement recorded in the first quarter of 2026. Including the income tax effect assists investors in understanding the tax provision associated with those adjustments and the effective tax rate related to the underlying business and performance of the Company's ongoing operations. As a result of these adjustments, the Company's non-GAAP effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was 25.4% and March 31, 2025, was 22.9%.

As described below, the Company believes that free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are useful non-GAAP measures for investors. Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow do not have a uniform definition under GAAP in the United States and therefore, Teradata's definitions may differ from other companies' definitions of this measure. Teradata defines free cash flow as cash provided by/used in operating activities, less total capital expenditures and adjusted free cash flow as free cash flow less the gross proceeds from the SAP settlement, plus the non-recurring legal and other expenses incurred in connection with the SAP litigation and resulting settlement, and taxes paid specific to the settlement agreement. Teradata's management uses free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow to assess the financial performance of the Company and believes they are useful for investors because they relate 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 generated after capital expenditures which can be used for among other things, investments in the Company's existing businesses, strategic acquisitions, strengthening the Company's balance sheet, repurchase of Company stock and repay the Company's debt obligations and adjusted free cash flow adjusts the impact of the SAP settlement. Neither free cash flow or adjusted free cash flow represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since there may be other non-discretionary expenditures that are not deducted from these measures. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, cash flows from operating activities under GAAP.
