Teradata’s opportunity has never been greater; our competitive differentiation has
never been more pronounced. All elements of our solution are fully integrated, 
and all dimensions of our business are fully riveted on a single purpose: to enable 
our growing base of customers to realize the value of enterprise data warehousing. 

Data warehousing
is the process 
of collecting, 
integrating, and
managing a wide
variety of detailed
data from across
an organization
using a central
repository, or
“warehouse,” to
answer business
questions and
enhance decision
making.

Welcome to Teradata – a new company
with a long history of success. As a world
leader in enterprise data warehousing,
Teradata has grown from its beginnings 
in Southern California in the late 1970s into 
an organization of nearly 6,000 employees
with a presence in more than 60 countries,
dedicated to serving more than 850 of 
the most respected organizations around 
the world. Over the years, our mission has
remained constant: to enable organizations 
to use better information to make faster 
and smarter decisions that drive profitable 
growth and competitive advantage.

warehousing infrastructure market – database software,
hardware, maintenance, and professional services – 
affords us significant potential, as more and more 
companies increasingly use enterprise analytics and 
business intelligence for strategic advantage. By providing
the leading enterprise data warehousing solution to 
support these complex analyses, Teradata is well-positioned
to increase market penetration.

Teradata’s approach to data warehousing differs radically
from the current IT infrastructures used by many 
organizations. Those environments contain numerous 
independent silos of fragmented data, or data marts, 
which house duplicate, inconsistent, or incomplete data. 
We advocate that companies instead integrate detailed data
from across the enterprise into a large single data warehouse. 

Industry analysts, as well as our customers, validate 
that Teradata’s centralized enterprise analytics architecture 
provides the optimal information foundation for 
decision making. In fact, Gartner, Inc. has recognized 
our technology leadership by positioning Teradata 
in the Leaders Quadrant in its Magic Quadrant for Data
Warehouse DBMS Systems, 2007, by Donald Feinberg 
and Mark A. Beyer, 10 October 2007.

Providing value is at the heart of the Teradata business 
and is core to our investment strategy. Since our 
inception, Teradata’s commitment has been to help 
customers unlock the value of their data, transforming

TERADATA 2007

James M. Ringler, Chairman 
Michael F. Koehler, President and Chief Executive Officer

DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS,

2007 was a busy year for Teradata. We continued our 
consistent record of strong performance; completed 
our spin off from NCR Corporation into an independent, 
publicly-traded company; and were named to the Standard
& Poor’s 500. Although we have the drive, passion, and
focus of a “start-up” company, we have a solid foundation
of innovative technology, a market-leading position, and
financial strength. With a strong balance sheet and the
ability to generate attractive cash flow, Teradata’s financial
position enables us to make investment decisions that are
fully in the best interests of our customers and shareholders. 

In 2007, we increased our revenue 10 percent from 2006 
to more than $1.7 billion. Operating income for the year,
which included non-recurring items such as the cost to
spin off Teradata, was $320 million – or $337 million
excluding such items – an increase from $302 million in
2006. We reported net income of $200 million, or $1.10
per share, in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles (“GAAP”), which included spin-off–related costs 
of approximately $17 million, and some tax adjustments. 
Excluding these items, non-GAAP net income 
was $226 million, or $1.24 per share, compared with 
$192 million, or $1.06 per share, in 2006.  

THE OPPORTUNITY Going forward, Teradata has 
tremendous opportunities for growth and continued 
success as a freestanding company. The $19 billion data

Our mission is to enable organizations to use better information 
to make faster and smarter decisions that drive profitable growth
and competitive advantage.

our customers with tailored solutions and high-value
opportunities to leverage and grow their data warehouses. 
It is our goal to optimize and expand our portfolio of 
analytical applications from third-party providers on
Teradata, giving our customers greater choice in the 
way they use information for competitive advantage.

Market Coverage: Teradata focuses its sales effort on the
world’s 3,000 largest organizations, across a wide range 
of industries, including communications, financial services,
government, healthcare, insurance, manufacturing, retail,
transportation, and travel. To deliver optimal value 
to our customers and grow our business, we will continue
to expand our market coverage, which includes sales, 
professional services, and consulting resources. This will 
not only increase our ability to add new customers, 
but also our ability to grow the size and scope of our
existing customers’ enterprise data warehouses – which is
vital to our future growth and success. 

Teradata’s spin off into an independent company allows
for further innovation and greater improvements to help
drive more value for our customers. We are excited about
our future as a new company, and we extend our thanks 
and appreciation to our customers, partners, advocates,
shareholders, and the Teradata team for their collective
efforts that led to our continued success in 2007.

it into actionable information for strategic decision 
making. Teradata’s next frontier is to enable companies 
to align strategic decision making, now done at the 
corporate level, with operational execution at all levels 
of the organization. Using Teradata’s technology and 
analytics, organizations can improve their ability to make
decisions and take actions faster than their competition. 

Teradata calls this process of aligning data and accelerating
decision making “Active Enterprise Intelligence.” Active
Enterprise Intelligence pushes out intelligence from the 
corporate office to operational decision makers – 
front-line employees, suppliers, partners, and customers.
This is how we enable our customers to “raise intelligence,”
so that they can make the best decisions in the shortest
amount of time, where it means the most – in the store, 
at the airport gate, in the call center, or over the Internet. 

OUR STRATEGY It is our long-term strategy to leverage 
our core technology and services, along with those of 
our partners, to deliver competitively superior solutions 
to our customers that yield higher return on their 
investment – and by doing so, increase the long-term 
value of our company. We will continue to make strategic
decisions and investments in three key areas to achieve
these core objectives: 

Technology: For nearly three decades Teradata has 
provided a revolutionary approach to data warehousing: 
a massively parallel processing architecture that is scalable
for decision support and complex analytics. Going forward, 
we will continue to invest in our database software and
platform to further extend our lead at the best price 
performance in the marketplace. These investments are
directed at high-availability solutions and services, and
Active Data Warehousing capabilities that enable Active
Enterprise Intelligence. 

Solutions: By expanding our solutions and offers, Teradata
enables its customers to drive more innovation and solve
business challenges more effectively. Investments in 
consulting, data management, and applications – along
with continued work with our partners – will provide

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 elsewhere in this 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 a
number of factors, including those discussed in other sections of this Annual Report.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Teradata (“we,” “us,” “Teradata,” or the “Company”) provides Enterprise Data Warehousing solutions for customers worldwide that
combine software (including the Teradata database software and tools, data mining and analytical applications), hardware, and
related consulting and support services. These solutions can also include third-party products and services from other leading
technology and service partners.

Our solutions enable customers to integrate detailed enterprise-wide data such as customer, financial and operational data into a
single data warehouse and provide the analytical capabilities to transform that data into useful information. As a result, customers
have a consistent, accurate view of their data and businesses, which gives them more accurate, insightful and timely information
when and where they need it so they can make better and faster decisions. This approach provides customers with better insight,
faster access to new analytics and less redundancy within their information technology infrastructure so they can maximize
business value while minimizing their total cost of ownership.

Our data warehousing technologies provide a high level of performance, scalability, availability and manageability for strategic and
operational analytic requirements. Our professional services consultants combine a proven methodology, deep industry expertise 
and years of hands-on experience to help clients quickly capture business value while minimizing risk. Our customer services
professionals provide a single source of support services to allow customers to maximize use and fully leverage the value of their
investments in data warehousing.

Through Active Enterprise Intelligence, Teradata is extending the use of traditional data warehousing by integrating advanced
analytics into enterprise business processes, allowing companies to combine the analysis of current and historical data so
operations personnel can make decisions at the point of contact or service and take action as events occur.

Teradata offers data warehousing solutions to many major industries, including communications, financial services, government,
healthcare, insurance, manufacturing, retail, transportation and travel. Teradata delivers its solutions primarily through direct 
sales channels, as well as through alliances with system integrators, other independent software vendors, value-added resellers and
distributors. We deliver our solutions to customers on a global basis, and organize our operations in the following three regions,
which are also our reportable segments: North America and Latin America (“Americas”), Europe, the Middle East and Africa
(“EMEA”), and Asia Pacific and Japan (“APJ”).

REVISION OF PRIOR PERIOD FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company identified an error related to a sales transaction that was originally recognized in the
fourth quarter of 2006. Upon subsequent review, management determined that the transaction, which was made through a reseller,
did not meet the conditions for revenue recognition until the first quarter of 2007, when the products were delivered and accepted
by the end-user customer. The impact of this error was an overstatement of revenue and net income in the three- and twelve-
month periods ended December 31, 2006, and an understatement of revenue and net income in the three-month period ended
March 31, 2007. We assessed the materiality of this error on the three- and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2006,
in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99 (“SAB 99”),
and concluded that the error was not material to either period. However, we did conclude that the error was material to the 
three months ended March 31, 2007, as it understated the first quarter results. Therefore, in accordance with the SEC’s Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”), the full-year 2006 financial statements presented herein have been revised to correct 
for the immaterial error and to allow for the correct recording of this transaction in the 2007 consolidated financial statements.
The correction resulted in a $13 million reduction in product revenue, a $3 million reduction in cost of products and a $4 million

TERADATA 2007

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

reduction to income tax expense, resulting in a $6 million reduction to net income ($0.04 per diluted share) in the full-year 
2006 financial statements. These revenue and expense amounts have subsequently been reflected in the 2007 results. Associated
adjustments were also made to decrease accounts receivable by $13 million, increase inventory by $3 million and increase deferred
income taxes by $4 million within the December 31, 2006, consolidated balance sheet. The revision had no net impact on
Teradata’s net cash provided by operating activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006.

2007 FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

As more fully discussed in later sections of this MD&A, the following were significant themes and events for 2007:

• Revenue increased 10% in 2007 from 2006, driven by strong growth in the EMEA and APJ regions.

• Gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased to 53.8% in 2007 from 53.6% in 2006.

• Operating income was $320 million in 2007, up from $302 million in 2006. Operating income in 2007 included 

Separation-related expenses of $17 million.

• Net income of $200 million in 2007 increased from $192 million in 2006. Net income per common share (diluted) of $1.10 in
2007 compared to $1.06 in 2006. Included in the 2007 results were $0.08 of Separation-related costs and $0.06 of unfavorable
tax adjustments.

STRATEGY OVERVIEW

Our strategy is to grow profitability as the global leader of enterprise data warehousing technology and services. We are executing
our multi-year strategy to advance enterprise data warehousing as the preferred data warehousing architecture that companies
utilize to build their enterprise analytics infrastructure. To do this, we are focused on three core strategies:

• Increasing our technology capabilities by investing in near real-time (or “active”) data warehousing and advanced development;

• Expanding our solutions and offers by investing in consulting and support services, applications and partners; and

• Optimizing our market coverage through effective use of our sales, marketing and services resources.

FUTURE TRENDS

We believe that demand for our solutions will continue to increase due to the continued increase in data volumes, the scale and
complexity of business requirements, and the growing use of new data elements and more near real-time analytics over time.
The adoption by customers of more near real-time analysis for enterprise intelligence is driving more applications, usage and
capacity. We expect 2008 full-year revenue growth of approximately 5% to 8%. This outlook for 2008 includes some conservatism
due to the potential impact of certain macroeconomic factors on capital spending, particularly in the United States. Also, while the
EMEA and APJ segments experienced very strong revenue growth of 18% in 2007, we do not anticipate this same level of revenue
growth for these regions in 2008. The size, timing and contracted terms of large customer orders for our products and services 
can impact, both positively and negatively, our quarterly operating results. While we have seen fluctuations in the information
technology environment in the past, our outlook remains positive. We expect that competitive and technological pricing trends
will continue at the levels experienced in 2007 and 2006. In 2008, we continue to be committed to new product development and
achieving maximum yield from our research and development spending and resources, which are intended to drive revenue
growth, and we continue to evaluate opportunities to increase our market coverage. We expect our full-year effective tax rate 
for 2008 to be approximately 30%.

THE SEPARATION OF TERADATA FROM NCR CORPORATION

The Separation became effective on September 30, 2007, through a distribution of 100% of the common stock of Teradata Corporation
to the holders of record of NCR Corporation’s (“NCR”) common stock. The Separation was completed pursuant to the Separation
and Distribution Agreement by which NCR contributed to the Teradata Corporation all of the assets and liabilities associated 
with the Teradata data warehousing business. We have received a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service indicating
that the Separation was tax free to stockholders, NCR and Teradata for U.S. federal income tax purposes. NCR distributed all 
of the shares of Teradata Corporation common stock as a dividend to NCR shareholders as of the record date for the Separation.

Teradata revenue increased 10% in 2007 from 2006. The revenue increase included a benefit of 2% from foreign currency
fluctuations. The growth was driven by the need for more centralized data warehouse systems and is indicative of customers
valuing the analytical capabilities of our solutions and the return on investment they can provide. Product revenue increased 10%
in 2007 from 2006, primarily due to capacity expansions and technology upgrades by existing customers, as well as sales to new
customers. Service revenue increased 11% in 2007 from 2006, driven by strong growth in both professional services and annuity
support services. Product revenue, as a percentage of total revenue, declined in 2007 due to the increase in service revenue in 2007.
Operating income was up $18 million in 2007 compared to 2006. The operating income benefited from the higher volume, offset
somewhat by higher operating expenses, which included Separation-related costs and recurring incremental independent-company
costs, as well as higher selling and marketing expenses and increased investment in research and development.

Our revenue increased 5% in 2006 from 2005 due to increased demand for a consolidated, enterprise-wide data warehousing
architecture. Foreign currency fluctuations had less than 1% of negative impact on the year-over-year revenue comparison.
Product revenue increased 3% in 2006 from 2005, led by growth in the EMEA region. Service revenue increased 9% in 2006 from
2005, primarily due to increases in professional services and annuity support services in the Americas region. Operating income
increased $18 million in 2006 from 2005 due primarily to higher volume, offset somewhat by increases in selling and marketing
expenses.

Gross Margin
Gross margin as a percentage of revenue for 2007 was 53.8% in 2007 compared to 53.6% in 2006. Product gross margin increased
to 64.7% in 2007, compared to 64.2% in 2006. Service gross margin of 42.1% in 2007 compared to 42.0% in 2006. The increase in
product gross margins was driven primarily by the EMEA and APJ regions. The improvement in total gross margin overcame the
adverse mix effect of having a higher growth rate of the lower-margin service revenue (as compared to product revenue) in 2007.

Gross margin as a percentage of revenue for 2006 decreased to 53.6% from 54.2% in 2005. Product gross margin increased to
64.2% for 2006 compared to 63.6% in 2005, primarily due to improved product revenue mix. Service gross margin decreased 
to 42.0% for 2006 from 43.3% in 2005 as Teradata added professional services resources.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses, characterized as “selling, general and administrative expenses” and “research and development expenses,”
were $596 million in 2007 compared to $527 million in 2006. As a percentage of revenue, total operating expenses increased to
35.0% in 2007 from 34.1% in 2006. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $60 million included $17 million
in Separation-related expenses and $8 million of recurring incremental costs subsequent to the Separation as Teradata began
operating as an independent publicly-traded company. The remainder of the increase was primarily due to increased selling and
marketing expenses (consisting of compensation expense as well as marketing, partnering and pre-sale activities), foreign currency
impact and stock-based compensation. Research and development expenses were $9 million higher in 2007 compared to 2006,
reflecting increased investment in product development.

Our 2006 operating expenses were $527 million in 2006 compared to $511 million in 2005. As a percentage of revenue, total
operating expenses improved to 34.1% in 2006 from 34.8% in 2005. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses 
of $19 million was primarily due to a $29 million increase in selling and marketing expenses and a $5 million increase in stock-
based compensation as a result of adopting Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) (“SFAS 123R”),
Share-Based Payment. The increase was partially offset by decreases of $14 million in expenses from NCR for corporate-related
functions. The decrease in costs allocated from NCR coincided with its multi-year re-engineering efforts to drive operational
improvements through simplification, standardization, globalization and consistency across the organization, which reduced overall
costs at the NCR level. Research and development expenditures were lower, primarily due to the timing of the capitalization of
software development. For more information on the impact of the timing of software capitalization, see the subhead entitled
“Critical Accounting Policies – Capitalized Software” included below in this MD&A section.

Effects of Pension and Postemployment Benefit Plans
Teradata’s pension and postemployment benefit expense for the years ended December 31, is shown below. Pension and
postemployment benefit expenses incurred prior to the Separation were allocated to Teradata by NCR.

Teradata recorded $9 million of pension expense in 2007 versus $23 million of pension expense in 2006. This decrease was 
due primarily to NCR’s action to freeze its U.S. defined pension plans and cease the accrual of additional benefits for all
participants in the U.S. plans after December 31, 2006. In connection with the Separation, as discussed in Notes 1 and 8 
of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company assumed net pension assets and liabilities of $41 million and
postemployment liabilities of $50 million.

Income Taxes
The tax rate in 2007 was 37.9%. This rate includes a discrete $10 million charge, or 3.1%, related to a tax rate change in Germany,
as well as a $7 million charge, or 2.2%, to correct prior period errors in the calculation of the income tax provision related to
intercompany profit eliminations. As the impact of this error was not material to the then current or any prior period, it was
recorded in the second quarter of 2007. The 2007 tax rate also included a $6 million tax benefit, or 1.9%, related to the utilization
of certain tax attributes associates with foreign sourced income. The tax rate in 2006 was 36.4%. The tax rate in 2005 was 27.5%,
and included $33 million or 12% of tax benefits resulting from NCR’s resolution of prior-year tax audits. See Note 6 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on these prior-year tax items.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

TERADATA 2007

Revenue and Gross Margin by Operating Segment
Teradata manages its business in three regions – the Americas, EMEA and APJ regions – which are also the Company’s operating
segments. For purposes of discussing our results by segment, we exclude the impact of certain items, consistent with the manner 
by which management evaluates the performance of each segment and reports our operating results under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 131 (“SFAS 131”), Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. 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 our financial performance. The discussion
of our segment results describes the changes in results as compared to the prior-year period. These changes do not represent
changes in long-term trends. The effect of certain corporate-related items has been excluded from the segment gross margin for
each reporting segment presented and discussed below. Teradata does not use corporate-level selling, general and administrative,
or research and development expenses to measure the performance of the regional operating segments. Our segment results are
reconciled to total company results reported under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in Note 13 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Americas Revenue increased 5% in 2007 from 2006, largely driven by growth in service revenue. The revenue growth included 
1% of benefit from foreign currency fluctuations. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased to 58.1% for 2007, from
59.2% for 2006, driven primarily by reduced service margins.

Revenue increased 7% in 2006 from 2005, primarily driven by increased service revenue. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue
increased to 59.2% in 2006, from 58.9% in 2005, with improved margin rates slightly offset by the impact of a higher mix of
service revenue as compared to the prior year.

EMEA Revenue increased 18% in 2007 from 2006, with double-digit growth in both product and service revenue. The revenue
growth included 7% of benefit from foreign currency fluctuations. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased to 48.8% in
2007, from 46.7% in 2006, with improvements in both product and service margins. The improvement in gross margin rates was
offset somewhat by the increased mix of lower-margin services revenue.

Revenue increased 6% in 2006 from 2005, with increases in both product and service revenue. The revenue growth included 1% of
benefit from foreign currency fluctuations. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased to 46.7% in 2006, from 48.5% in
2005. The reduction was primarily driven by lower service margins.

APJ Revenue increased 18% in 2007 from 2006, led predominantly by growth in product revenue. The revenue growth included
3% of benefit from foreign currency fluctuations. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 50.6% in 2007, up from 47.2% in
2006, driven by the greater mix of product revenue, as well as improved product margins.

Revenue was roughly flat in 2006 from 2005. Revenue in 2006 included 2% of negative impact from foreign currency fluctuations.
Gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased to 47.2% in 2006, from 48.9% in 2005. The reduction was primarily related to
lower service margins.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Prior to the Separation, Teradata’s financial resources were provided by NCR, which managed cash and cash equivalents 
on a centralized basis. Cash receipts associated with Teradata’s business were transferred to NCR on a daily basis, and NCR 
funded Teradata’s cash disbursements. These net cash transfers were reflected in parent company equity in Teradata’s historical
financial statements.

Upon the Separation, the Company received $196 million in cash from NCR, plus a note receivable for another $4 million in cash.
The balance of the note from NCR was collected in October 2007. In addition, on October 1, 2007, the Company entered into a five-
year, $300 million unsecured revolving credit facility. This credit facility contains certain representations and warranties; conditions;
affirmative, negative and financial covenants; and events of default customary for such facilities. For most borrowings, Teradata would
anticipate choosing a floating rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). If the facility had been fully drawn at
December 31, 2007, the spread over the LIBOR would have been 32 basis points (for an interest rate of 5.04%, assuming a 6-month
borrowing term) given Teradata’s leverage ratio at that date. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had no borrowings outstanding
under this revolving credit facility and was in compliance with all covenants. Also in connection with the Separation, the Company
assumed pension and postemployment benefit obligations and plan assets relating to the Teradata business. The unfunded portion of
the pension and postemployment obligations at December 31, 2007, were $41 million and $53 million, respectively.

Management believes Company cash flows from operations and the $300 million credit facility will be sufficient to satisfy 
future working capital, research and development activities, capital expenditures, pension contributions and other financing
requirements for the foreseeable future. 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. If the Company is unable to 
generate sufficient cash flows from operations, or otherwise to comply with the terms of the credit facilities, the Company may 
be required to seek additional financing alternatives.

Teradata’s management uses a non-GAAP measure called “free cash flow,” which we define as net cash provided by operating
activities less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment, and additions to capitalized software, to assess the financial
performance of the Company. Free cash flow does not have a uniform definition under GAAP; therefore, Teradata’s definition 
may differ from other companies’ definitions of this measure. The components that are used to calculate free cash flow are GAAP
measures that are taken directly from the consolidated statements of cash flows. 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, repurchase of Teradata stock and repayment of
debt obligations. 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:

TERADATA 2007

Cash provided by operating activities increased by $168 million in 2007, while capital expenditures increased by $32 million,
resulting in a net increase in free cash flow of $136 million compared to 2006. The increase in cash provided by operating activities
was primarily due to higher net income, increased deferred income tax expense, increased payables and accrued expenses, offset
somewhat by an increase in receivables. The increase in deferred income tax expense was primarily related to the amortization 
of capitalized research and development credits and a $10 million charge related to a tax rate change in Germany. Receivables
increased due to several factors related to the Separation. These included such things as customer payments on Teradata invoices
that were issued prior to the Separation that were collected by NCR prior to year-end but were not submitted to Teradata 
before December 31, 2007, and an increase in value-added tax (“VAT”) receivables (prior to the Separation, most VAT due from
customers was not recorded as part of Teradata’s receivables balances). Lastly, there was an increase compared to the prior year 
in billings in the second half of the fourth quarter that were not collected prior to year-end. Accounts payable increased largely
due to transition activities and increased volume with key suppliers, especially as it relates to year-end activity. Transition activities
primarily consisted of payments made by NCR on Teradata’s behalf because the original purchase order was placed by NCR.
These payments made by NCR are subsequently recorded by the Company as payables back to NCR. Capital expenditures were
higher in 2007 largely due to activity related to the Separation, including investments in the Company’s IT infrastructure and the
acquisition of a corporate aircraft.

Cash provided by operating activities increased by $27 million in 2006, while capital expenditures increased by $13 million,
resulting in a net increase in free cash flow of $14 million compared to 2005. The increase in cash from operating activities 
was primarily driven by higher net income (net of non-cash items). The increase in net income was partially offset by higher
receivables. The increase in capital expenditures was largely due to increased investment in software development.

Financing activities and certain other investing activities are not included in our calculation of free cash flow. These other investing
activities primarily consisted of acquisition-related activity. Teradata’s financing activities primarily consisted of net cash transfers
to NCR of $216 million (prior to the Separation, cash generated by Teradata was contributed to NCR), and a $200 million cash
inflow from NCR based on the Separation.

In 2007, the Company identified certain errors in the calculation of deferred tax assets and liabilities that resulted in an overstatement
of net deferred tax assets and parent company equity in periods prior to the Separation, which were determined to be immaterial
to previously issued financial statements. In 2007, the Company corrected the error by reducing net deferred tax assets and parent
company equity by approximately $43 million. This adjustment is included in the “Net transfers to parent” in the Consolidated
Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity. The adjustment had no effect on previously reported income tax expense, net
income or cash.

On February 11, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized two stock repurchase programs. The employee stock
dilution offset program is an ongoing self-funding, dilution-mitigation program that uses the cash received from employee share
purchases under the Teradata Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan and option exercises under the Teradata Corporation
2007 Stock Incentive Plan to repurchase Company common stock on the open market at management’s discretion, in accordance
with applicable securities rules regarding issuer repurchases. In addition, the Board authorized a general open market share
repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may spend up to $250 million over a two-year period to repurchase its
common stock on the open market at management’s discretion, in accordance with applicable securities rules regarding issuer
repurchases. No stock repurchases had been made by the Company as of December 31, 2007. Subsequent to the Company’s
customary blackout period surrounding the release of earnings, from February 14, 2008 through February 29, 2008, the 
Company repurchased approximately 1.6 million shares for approximately $38 million. In order to preserve the tax-free status 
of the Separation, the accumulated shares repurchased in the two-year period following the Separation must remain below 20% 
of the common shares outstanding on September 30, 2007.

Our lease obligations in the above table include Company-only facilities in various domestic and international locations, as well
as leases from NCR for properties that are currently owned by NCR and partially utilized by the Company. Purchase obligations
are committed purchase orders and other contractual commitments for goods and services, and include contractual payments 
in relation to service agreements with Accenture LLP and NCR for ongoing transaction services.

We also have product warranties and several guarantees to third parties, as well as postemployment and international 
pension obligations that may affect future cash flow. These items are not included in the table of obligations shown above.
Product warranties and third-party guarantees are described in detail in Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Postemployment and pension obligations are described in detail in Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We do not participate in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities
or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities (“SPE”), which would
have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or for other contractually narrow or limited
purposes. As of December 31, 2007, we were not involved in any material unconsolidated SPE transactions.

Please see Note 10, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information 
on guarantees associated with Teradata’s business activities.

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 paragraphs below.
Teradata’s senior management has reviewed these critical accounting policies and related disclosures with our independent registered
public accounting firm and the Audit Committee of Teradata’s Board of Directors (see Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements, which contains additional information regarding our accounting policies and other disclosures required by GAAP).

TERADATA 2007

Revenue Recognition 
Teradata’s solution offerings typically include hardware, software, software subscriptions, maintenance support services and other
professional consulting services. Teradata records revenue when it is realized, or realizable, and earned. Teradata considers these
requirements met when: (a) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (b) the products or services have been delivered to the
customer; (c) the sales price is fixed or determinable and free of contingencies or significant uncertainties; and (d) collectibility is
reasonably assured. Our judgment is required in assessing the probability of collection, which is generally based on evaluation of
customer-specific information, historical collection experience and economic market conditions. If market conditions decline, or if
the financial condition of our customers deteriorates, we may be unable to determine that collectibility is probable, and we could be
required to defer the recognition of revenue until we receive customer payments. Teradata reports revenue net of any taxes assessed
by governmental authorities that are imposed on and concurrent with specific revenue-producing transactions. Teradata delivers its
solutions primarily through direct sales channels, as well as through alliances with system integrators, other independent software
vendors and distributors, and value-added resellers.

Substantially all of Teradata’s solutions contain software that is more than incidental to the hardware and services. The typical
solution requires no significant production, modification or customization of the software or hardware, and the software is not
essential to the functionality of the hardware. Revenue related to software and software-related elements is recognized under
Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition. Revenue for hardware and related installation services is recognized
under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (“SAB 104”), Revenue Recognition. For software and software-related elements, Teradata
allocates revenue to each element based upon its fair value as determined by vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”).
VSOE of fair value is based upon the normal pricing and discounting practices for those products and services when sold
separately. These elements often involve delivery or performance at different periods of time. Revenue for software is generally
recognized upon delivery with the hardware. Revenue for software subscriptions, which provide for unspecified upgrades or
enhancements on a when-and-if-available basis, is recognized straight-line over the term of the subscription arrangement.
Revenue for maintenance support services is also recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the service contract.
Revenue for other professional consulting services is recognized as services are provided. In certain instances, customer acceptance
is required prior to the passage of title and risk of loss of the delivered products. In such cases, no revenue is recognized until the
customer acceptance is obtained. Delivery and acceptance generally occur in the same reporting period.

For arrangements involving multiple deliverables, where the deliverables include software and non-software products and services,
Teradata applies the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,
to separate the deliverables and allocate the total arrangement consideration. Accordingly, Teradata evaluates each deliverable to
determine whether it represents a separate unit of accounting based on the following criteria: (a) whether the delivered item 
has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis; (b) whether there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the
undelivered items; and (c) if the contract includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item, and delivery or
performance of the undelivered items is considered probable and substantially in the control of Teradata. If objective and reliable
evidence of fair value exists for all units of accounting in the arrangement, revenue is allocated to each unit of accounting based
on relative fair values. Each unit of accounting is then accounted for under the applicable revenue recognition guidance.
In situations where there is objective and reliable evidence of fair value for all undelivered elements, but not for delivered 
elements, the residual method is used to allocate the arrangement’s consideration. Under the residual method, the fair value of
the undelivered elements is deferred, and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is allocated to the delivered elements 
and is recognized as revenue.

Revenue recognition for complex contractual arrangements requires a greater degree of judgment, including a review of specific
contracts, past experience, creditworthiness of customers, international laws and other factors. We must also apply judgment in
determining all elements of the arrangement, and in determining the fair value of each element, considering the price charged for
each product, and applicable renewal rates for services. Changes in judgments about these factors could impact the timing and
amount of revenue recognized between periods.

TERADATA 2007

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Capitalized Software 
We account for research and development costs in accordance with applicable accounting pronouncements, including Statement 
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 2 (“SFAS 2”), Accounting for Research and Development Costs, and Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 86 (“SFAS 86”), Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.
SFAS 86 specifies that costs incurred internally in researching and developing a computer software product should be charged 
to expense until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Technological feasibility is established when all
planning, designing, coding and testing activities that are necessary to establish the product can be produced to meet its detailed
design specifications. In the absence of a detailed program design, a working model is used to establish technological feasibility.
Once technological feasibility is established, all software costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to
customers. Judgment is required in determining when technological feasibility of a product is established. The timing of when
various research and development projects become technologically feasible or ready for release can cause fluctuation in the amount
of research and development costs that are expensed or capitalized in any given period, thus impacting our reported profitability
for that period.

Income Taxes 
We account for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (“SFAS 109”),
Accounting for Income Taxes, which recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based
on the enacted tax rates expected to apply in the periods in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be settled
or realized. Teradata’s operating results were included in NCR’s U.S. and state income tax returns prior to the Separation.
The provision for income tax in Teradata’s consolidated financial statements prior to the Separation was determined on a 
separate-return basis. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide income tax provision. In the ordinary 
course of a global business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. Some of
these uncertainties arise as a consequence of revenue sharing and cost reimbursement arrangements among related entities, the
process of identifying items of revenue and expense that qualify for preferential tax treatment, and segregation of foreign and
domestic income and expense to avoid double taxation. Although we believe that our estimates are reasonable, the final tax
outcome of these matters could be different from that which is reflected in our historical income tax provisions and accruals.
Such difference could have a material effect on our income tax provision, net income and accruals in the period in which such
determination is made.

Our effective tax rate may include the impact of certain undistributed foreign earnings for which no U.S. taxes have been provided
because such earnings may be planned to be indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States. Repatriation of foreign earnings
to the U.S. will be based on a plan of projected cash flow, working capital and investment needs of foreign and domestic operations.
Based on these assumptions, we will estimate the amount that will be distributed to the U.S. and will provide U.S. federal taxes 
on these amounts. Material changes in our estimates could impact our effective tax rate.

We adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income
taxes by prescribing thresholds and attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken 
or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and
penalties, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure. Under FIN 48, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax
position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based
on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be
measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The adoption
of FIN 48 did not impact our results of operations or net assets. In accordance with the Tax Sharing Agreement between NCR 
and Teradata, NCR is responsible for all taxes reported on any separate or joint return of NCR, which may also include Teradata
for periods prior to the Separation. As of December 31, 2007, the Company has no unrecognized tax benefits.

We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability and establish a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that
some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The determination as to whether a deferred tax asset will be realized
is made on a jurisdictional basis and is based on the evaluation of positive and negative evidence. This evidence includes historical
taxable income, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversal of existing temporary differences and the
implementation of tax planning strategies. Projected future taxable income is based on expected results and assumptions as to 
the jurisdiction in which the income will be earned. The expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences is based

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

13

TERADATA 2007

on current tax law and our tax methods of accounting. We periodically evaluate estimates and judgments related to uncertain tax
positions, including transfer pricing-related risks and, when necessary, establish contingency reserves to account for uncertain tax
positions. As more information is obtained via the settlement of tax audits and through other pertinent information, these
projections and estimates are reassessed and may be adjusted accordingly.

If we are unable to generate sufficient future taxable income, or if there is a material change in the actual effective tax rates 
or the time period within which the underlying temporary differences become taxable or deductible, or if the tax laws change
unfavorably, then we could be required to increase our valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, resulting in an increase
in our effective tax rate. The impact to our effective tax rate would be an increase of one percentage point for each increase of
$3 million to the valuation allowance as of December 31, 2007.

We had valuation allowances of $5 million as of December 31, 2007, related to certain deferred income tax assets, in jurisdictions
where there is uncertainty as to ultimate realization of a benefit from those tax assets.

Stock-based Compensation 
We account for employee stock-based compensation costs in accordance with SFAS 123R, which requires us to measure
compensation cost for stock awards at fair value and recognize compensation expense over the service period for which awards 
are expected to vest. We utilize the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock-based compensation 
at the date of grant, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected holding
period. Further, as required under SFAS 123R, we estimate forfeitures for options granted, which are not expected to vest. The
estimation of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent that actual results or updated estimates
differ from our current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period in which estimates 
are revised. We consider many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards and historical experience.
Actual results and future changes in estimates may differ substantially from our current estimates.

In addition, we have performance-based awards that vest only if specific performance conditions are satisfied, typically at the end
of an award’s three-year performance period. The number of shares that will be earned can vary based on actual performance.
No shares will vest if the threshold objectives are not met. In the event the objectives are exceeded, additional shares will vest, up 
to a maximum payout of 150%. The cost of these awards is expensed over the performance period based upon management’s
estimate and analysis of future earnings as compared to the performance criteria. Because the actual number of shares to be
awarded is not known until the end of the performance period, the actual compensation expense related to these awards could
differ from our current expectations.

Pension and Postemployment Benefits
We account for defined benefit pension plans in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87 (“SFAS 87”),
Employers’ Accounting for Pensions, which requires that amounts recognized in financial statements be determined on an actuarial
basis. Our postemployment plans are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112
(“SFAS 112”), Employers’ Accounting for Postemployment Benefits. Beginning December 31, 2006, we also apply Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 158 (“SFAS 158”), Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement
Plans, which amends each of these two standards, primarily relative to balance sheet presentation and disclosure requirements.
Prior to the Separation, we accounted for pension and postemployment benefit costs under the multiemployer plan approach.

We have pension and postemployment benefit costs and credits, which are developed from actuarial valuations. Actuarial
assumptions attempt to anticipate future events and are used in calculating the expense and liability relating to these plans.
These factors include assumptions we make about interest rates, expected investment return on plan assets, total and involuntary
turnover rates, and rates of future compensation increases. In addition, our actuarial consultants also use subjective factors such
as withdrawal rates and mortality rates to develop our valuations. We generally review and update these assumptions on an annual
basis at the beginning of each fiscal year. We are required to consider current market conditions, including changes in interest
rates, in making these assumptions. The actuarial assumptions that we use may differ materially from actual results due to
changing market and economic conditions, higher or lower withdrawal rates, or longer or shorter life spans of participants.
These differences may result in a significant impact to the measurement of our pension and postemployment benefit obligations,
and to the amount of pension and postemployment benefits expense we have recorded or may record. For example, as of
December 31, 2007, a one-half percent increase/decrease in the discount rate would change the accumulated benefit obligation 
of our pension plans by $4 million, and a one percent increase/decrease in our involuntary turnover assumption would change 
our postemployment benefit obligation by $18 million.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

A discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements is described in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company employs a foreign currency hedging strategy to limit potential losses in earnings or cash flows from adverse foreign
currency exchange rate movements. Foreign currency exposures arise from transactions denominated in a currency other than 
the Company’s functional currency and from foreign denominated revenue and profit translated into U.S. dollars. The primary
currencies to which the Company is exposed include the Euro, the British Pound, the Japanese Yen, the Canadian dollar, the
Australian dollar, and other Asian and South American currencies. Exposures are hedged with foreign currency forward contracts
with maturity dates of twelve months or less. The potential loss in fair value at December 31, 2007, for such contracts resulting 
from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in all foreign currency exchange rates is approximately $5 million. This loss would be
mitigated by corresponding gains on the underlying exposures.

MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

We are responsible for the preparation, integrity and objectivity of our consolidated financial statements and other financial
information presented in our annual report. The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance 
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include certain amounts based on currently
available information and our judgment of current conditions and circumstances. Due to the Company’s recent separation from
NCR, the Company was not required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related rules and regulations of the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission to perform an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2007. While we were not required to conduct such an evaluation, as of December 31, 2007, we identified a
material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting relating to the accounting for revenue transactions involving
resellers for which fees were not fixed or determinable. This control deficiency resulted in a revision to the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, and an adjustment to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2007.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, is engaged to perform audits of our consolidated
financial statements. These audits are performed in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Our independent registered public accounting firm was given unrestricted access to all financial records and
related data, including minutes of all meetings of shareholders, the Board of Directors and committees of the Board.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, consisting entirely of independent directors who are not employees of Teradata,
monitors our accounting, reporting and internal control structure. Our independent registered public accounting firm, internal
auditors and management have complete and free access to the Audit Committee, which periodically meets directly with each
group to ensure that their respective duties are being properly discharged.

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS OF TERADATA CORPORATION:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, of cash flows,
and of changes in stockholder’s equity present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Teradata Corporation and its
subsidiaries at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards 
of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts 
for share-based compensation in 2006.

TERADATA 2007

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 Description of Business, Separation, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Description of the Business. Teradata Corporation (“Teradata” or “the Company”) provides Enterprise Data Warehousing
solutions for customers worldwide that combine software (including the Teradata database and tools, data mining and analytical
applications), hardware, and related consulting and support services.

The Separation. On August 27, 2007, the Board of Directors of NCR Corporation (“NCR”), the Company’s former parent,
approved the separation of NCR into two independent, publicly traded companies through the distribution of 100% of its
Teradata data warehousing business to shareholders of NCR (“Separation”).

To effect the Separation, Teradata Corporation, a Delaware corporation, was formed on March 27, 2007, as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of NCR. Immediately prior to the Separation, the assets and liabilities of the Teradata data warehousing business 
of NCR were transferred to Teradata Corporation in return for 180.7 million shares of Teradata Corporation common shares.
NCR accomplished the Separation through a distribution of one share of Teradata Corporation common stock for each share 
of NCR common stock on September 30, 2007, to NCR shareholders of record as of September 14, 2007.

Significant Non-Cash Financing and Investing Activities. In connection with the Separation, the Company executed the
following transactions, which involved no cash:

• NCR distributed 180.7 million shares of Teradata common stock to holders of NCR common stock.

• NCR’s historical net investment in Teradata, $446 million immediately prior to the Separation, was reclassified to additional 

paid-in capital.

• NCR transferred to the Company certain postemployment liabilities and international pension assets and liabilities totaling 

$91 million, of which $30 million, net of tax, was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

• Reduced deferred tax assets by $82 million for net operating losses and other tax attributes retained by NCR, and increased net

deferred tax assets and liabilities by $20 million for changes in tax bases of certain assets and liabilities resulting from the
Separation, including the assumed pension and postemployment net obligations.

• Reduced income tax accruals by $19 million as such liabilities were retained by NCR in accordance with the Tax Sharing

Agreement between NCR and the Company.

The assets and liabilities transferred to the Company from NCR at September 30, 2007, also included $196 million in cash and 
a $4 million receivable, which was collected from NCR in October 2007.

Basis of Presentation. The financial statements for periods ending on or after the Separation are presented on a consolidated basis
and include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. The financial statements for the periods presented
prior to the Separation include the assets, liabilities, operating results and cash flows of the Teradata data warehousing business of
NCR Corporation. The assets and liabilities presented have been reflected on a historical basis, as prior to the Separation such assets
and liabilities were 100% owned by NCR. Changes in parent company equity represents NCR’s net investment in Teradata, prior to
the Separation, after giving effect to the net income of Teradata and net cash transfers to and from NCR.

The historical financial statements include allocations of certain NCR corporate expenses, including treasury, accounting, tax,
legal, internal audit, human resources, severance, pension, public and investor relations, general management, real estate, shared
information technology systems, procurement and other statutory functions such as board of directors and other centrally
managed employee benefit arrangements that benefit the Teradata business. These costs include the cost of salaries, benefits
(including stock-based compensation) and other related costs. The Company was allocated $96 million in 2007 (prior to the
Separation), $122 million in 2006 and $139 million in 2005 of general corporate overhead expenses incurred by NCR.

Management believes that the assumptions and methodologies underlying the allocation of general corporate overhead expenses
from NCR are reasonable. However, such expenses may not be indicative of the actual level of expense that would have been
incurred by the Company if it had operated as an independent, publicly traded company or of the costs expected to be incurred 
in the future. As such, the financial information herein may not necessarily reflect the financial position, results of operations and
cash flows of the Company in the future or what it would have been had the Company been an independent, publicly traded
company during the periods presented. Refer to Note 5 for further information regarding allocated expenses.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting p
requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure 
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the period reported.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

principles 

 (“GAAP”)

Revenue Recognition. Teradata’s solution offerings typically include hardware, software, software subscriptions, maintenance
support services and other professional consulting services. Teradata records revenue when it is realized, or realizable, and earned.
Teradata considers these requirements met when: (a) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (b) the products or services have
been delivered to the customer; (c) the sales price is fixed or determinable and free of contingencies or significant uncertainties; and
(d) collectibility is reasonably assured. Teradata reports revenue net of any taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are
imposed on and concurrent with specific revenue-producing transactions. Teradata delivers its solutions primarily through direct
sales channels, as well as through alliances with system integrators, other independent software vendors and distributors, and
value-added resellers.

Substantially all of Teradata’s solutions contain software that is more than incidental to the hardware and services. The typical
solution requires no significant production, modification or customization of the software or hardware, and the software is not
essential to the functionality of the hardware. Revenue related to software and software-related elements is recognized under
Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition. Revenue for hardware and related installation services is recognized under
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (“SAB 104”), Revenue Recognition. For software and software-related elements, Teradata allocates
revenue to each element based upon its fair value as determined by vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”). VSOE of fair
value is based upon the normal pricing and discounting practices for those products and services when sold separately. These
elements often involve delivery or performance at different periods of time. Revenue for software is generally recognized upon
delivery with the hardware. Revenue for software subscriptions, which provide for unspecified upgrades or enhancements on a
when-and-if-available basis, is recognized straight-line over the term of the subscription arrangement. Revenue for maintenance
support services is also recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the service contract. Revenue for other professional
consulting services is recognized as services are provided. In certain instances, customer acceptance is required prior to the passage
of title and risk of loss of the delivered products. In such cases, no revenue is recognized until the customer acceptance is obtained.
Delivery and acceptance generally occur in the same reporting period.

For arrangements involving multiple deliverables, where the deliverables include software and non-software products and services,
Teradata applies the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,
to separate the deliverables and allocate the total arrangement consideration. Accordingly, Teradata evaluates each deliverable to
determine whether it represents a separate unit of accounting based on the following criteria: (a) whether the delivered item has
value to the customer on a stand-alone basis; (b) whether there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered
items; and (c) if the contract includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item, and delivery or performance of the
undelivered items is considered probable and substantially in the control of Teradata. If objective and reliable evidence of fair value
exists for all units of accounting in the arrangement, revenue is allocated to each unit of accounting based on relative fair values.
Each unit of accounting is then accounted for under the applicable revenue recognition guidance. In situations where there is
objective and reliable evidence of fair value for all undelivered elements, but not for delivered elements, the residual method 
is used to allocate the arrangement’s consideration. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is
deferred, and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is allocated to the delivered elements and is recognized as revenue.

Shipping and Handling. Costs related to shipping and handling are primarily included in cost of products in the Consolidated
Statements of Income.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. All short-term, highly-liquid investments having original maturities of three months or less are
considered to be cash equivalents.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. Teradata establishes provisions for doubtful accounts using both percentages of accounts
receivable balances to reflect historical average credit losses and specific provisions for known issues.

Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, using the average cost method. Excess and obsolete reserves are
established based on forecasted usage, orders, technological obsolescence and inventory aging.

TERADATA 2007

Long-Lived Assets 
Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment, leasehold improvements and rental equipment are stated at 
cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the related assets primarily on a
straight-line basis. Machinery and other equipment are depreciated over 3 to 20 years and buildings over 25 to 45 years. Leasehold
improvements are depreciated over the life of the lease or the asset, whichever is shorter.

Capitalized Software. Direct development costs associated with internal-use software are capitalized and amortized over the
estimated useful lives of the resulting software. The costs are capitalized when both the preliminary project stage is completed and
it is probable that computer software being developed will be completed and placed in service. Teradata typically amortizes
capitalized internal-use software on a straight-line basis over four years beginning when the asset is substantially ready for use.

Costs incurred for the development of software that will be sold, leased or otherwise marketed are capitalized when technological
feasibility has been established under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86 (“SFAS 86”), Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed. Technological feasibility is established when all planning, designing,
coding and testing activities that are necessary to establish the product can be produced to meet its detailed design specifications.
In the absence of a detailed program design, a working model is used to establish technological feasibility. These costs are included
within capitalized software and are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the resulting software. The Company typically
amortizes capitalized software on a sum-of-the-years’-digits basis over three years beginning when the product is available for
general release, which materially approximates the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and
anticipated future gross revenues for that product. Costs capitalized include direct labor and related overhead costs. Costs incurred
prior to technological feasibility and after general release are expensed as incurred. The following table identifies the activity
relating to capitalized software:

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair
value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill amounts are not amortized, but rather are tested for impairment at
least annually. Intangible assets that are not considered to have an indefinite useful life are amortized over their useful lives, which
range from 5 to 10 years. The carrying amount of these assets is reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate 
that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of the carrying
amount of the asset to the future undiscounted cash flows the asset is expected to generate. If the asset is considered to be impaired,
the amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset.
The Company did not recognize any goodwill or intangible asset impairment charges in 2007, 2006 or 2005.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets such as property, plant and equipment and capitalized software are reviewed 
for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.
An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the
asset and its eventual disposition are less than the carrying amount.

Warranty. Provisions for product warranties are recorded in the period in which the related revenue is recognized. The Company
accrues warranty reserves using percentages of revenue to reflect the Company’s historical average warranty claims.

Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 2 (“SFAS 2”), Accounting for Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs
primarily include payroll and headcount-related costs, contractor fees, facilities costs, infrastructure costs, and administrative
expenses directly related to research and development support.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Pension, Postretirement and Postemployment Benefits. Prior to the Separation, Teradata employees were eligible to participate 
in pension, postretirement and postemployment benefit plans sponsored by NCR in many of the countries where the Company
does business. Prior to the Separation, the Company accounted for its pension and postemployment benefit costs under the
multiemployer plan approach, and recognized the pension and postemployment costs allocated to it by NCR. The pension and
postemployment benefits costs were allocated to Teradata based on the projected benefit obligation associated with Teradata-
specific employees and other NCR employees who provided support services to Teradata. In conjunction with the Separation,
certain of NCR’s pension and postemployment benefit obligations and plan assets relating to the Teradata business were assumed
by/transferred to the Company.

The Company accounts for its pension and postemployment benefit obligations using actuarial models. The measurement of plan
obligations was made as of December 31, 2007. Liabilities are computed using the projected unit credit method. The objective
under this method is to expense each participant’s benefits under the plan as they accrue, taking into consideration salary increases
and the plan’s benefit allocation formula. Thus, the total pension or postemployment benefit to which each participant is expected
to become entitled is broken down into units, each associated with a year of past or future credited service.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158 (“SFAS 158”), Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, the Company recognizes the funded status of its pension and postemployment plan
obligations in its consolidated balance sheets and records in other comprehensive income (loss) certain gains and losses that arise
during the period, but are deferred under pension accounting rules.

Foreign Currency. Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries that operate in a local currency environment are translated into 
U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates. Income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during
the period. Adjustments arising from the translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate
component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in determining 
net income.

Income Taxes. For the periods prior to the Separation, Teradata’s operating results were included in NCR’s consolidated U.S. and
state income tax returns and in tax returns of certain NCR foreign subsidiaries. The provision for income taxes in these financial
statements was determined on a separate-return basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities were recognized for the expected tax
consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts.

For the periods after the Separation, income tax expense is provided based on income before income taxes. Deferred income taxes 
reflect the impact of temporary differences between assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and such
amounts recognized for tax purposes. These deferred taxes are determined based on the enacted tax rates expected to apply in the
periods in which the deferred assets or liabilities are expected to be settled or realized. The Company records valuation allowances
related to its deferred income taxes when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will
not be realized.

Stock Compensation. For the periods prior to the Separation, share-based compensation represented the costs related to NCR
share-based awards granted to employees of Teradata recognized under the provisions of Statements of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) (“SFAS 123R”), Share-Based Payment. NCR selected the modified prospective transition method
of implementing SFAS 123R and began recognizing compensation expense for share-based awards granted on or after January 1,
2006, plus any unvested awards granted prior to January 1, 2006. Under the transition method, prior periods were not restated.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006, NCR accounted for the costs of its stock-based employee compensation
plans under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related
interpretations. Under APB 25, compensation cost was not recognized for all options granted because the exercise price was at
least equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

SFAS 123R requires that all share-based payments to employees, including grants of stock options, be recognized in the financial
statements based on their fair value. The fair value of each stock option award on the grant date is estimated using the Black-
Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: expected dividend yield, expected stock price volatility, weighted-
average risk-free interest rate and weighted average expected life of the options. In connection with the Separation, NCR share-
based awards held by Teradata employees were converted to equivalent share-based awards of Teradata Corporation based on 
the ratio of the Company’s fair market value to NCR and Teradata’s combined fair market value at the time of the Separation.
The conversion was accounted for as a modification under the provisions of SFAS 123R, and resulted in no increase in the fair
value of the awards. For the periods following the Separation, share-based compensation represented the costs related to Teradata
share-based awards.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

25

TERADATA 2007

Under SFAS 123R, the Company’s expected volatility assumption used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model was based 
on peer group volatility. The expected life assumption is based on the simplified method in accordance with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”). The simplified method is based on the vesting
period and contractual term for each vesting tranche of awards. The mid-point between the vesting date and the expiration date is
used as the expected term under this method. The risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes model is based on the implied
yield curve available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues at the date of grant with a remaining term equal to the Company’s expected
term assumption. The Company has never declared or paid a cash dividend and has no current plans to pay cash dividends.

Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares
outstanding during the reported period. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share, except
that the weighted-average number of shares outstanding includes the dilution from potential shares added from stock options,
restricted stock awards and other stock awards. For periods prior to the Separation, basic and diluted earnings per share were 
the same, as no potentially dilutive securities (stock options, restricted shares, etc.) of the Company were outstanding. Refer to
Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for share information on the Company’s stock compensation plans.

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

Reclassifications. Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2007 presentation.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

FASB Interpretation No. 48. In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation 
No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 clarifies 
the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing thresholds and attributes for the financial statement recognition
and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Interpretation also provides guidance 
on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure. The Company adopted the
provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. In accordance with the NCR Tax Sharing Agreement, liabilities related to all uncertain 
tax positions that arose prior to the Separation were retained by NCR. As of December 31, 2007, the Company has no
unrecognized tax benefits.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 (“SFAS 157”),
Fair Value Measurements. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. While the Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157, we do not expect that it will
have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159. In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 (“SFAS 159”), The Fair
Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This statement
permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The fair value option 
may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis, with few exceptions. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure
requirements to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar assets 
and liabilities. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. While the Company is currently 
evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 159, we do not expect that it will have a material effect on our financial condition 
and results of operations.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007). In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R)
(“SFAS 141R”), Business Combinations. This statement changes the accounting for acquisition transaction costs by requiring them
to be expensed in the period incurred, and also changes the accounting for contingent consideration, acquired contingencies and
restructuring costs related to an acquisition. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. While
the Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 141R, we do not expect that it will have a material impact on
our financial condition and results of operations.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 (“SFAS 160”),
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51. This statement will change the
accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a
component of equity. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. While the Company is
currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 160, we do not expect that it will have a material effect on our financial
condition and results of operations.

NOTE 2 Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements

During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company identified an error related to a sales transaction that was originally recognized in
the fourth quarter of 2006. Upon subsequent review, management determined that the transaction, which was made through a
reseller, did not meet the conditions for revenue recognition until the first quarter of 2007 when the products were delivered and
accepted by the end-user customer. The impact of this error was an overstatement of revenue and net income in the three- 
and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2006, and an understatement of revenue and net income in the three-month
period ended March 31, 2007. We assessed the materiality of this error on the three- and twelve-month periods ended December
31, 2006, in accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99 (“SAB 99”) and concluded that the error was not material
to either period. However, we did conclude that the error was material to the three months ended March 31, 2007 as it understated
the first-quarter results. Therefore, in accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”), the full-year 
2006 financial statements presented herein have been revised to correct for the immaterial error and to allow for the correct
recording of this transaction in the 2007 consolidated financial statements. The correction resulted in a $13 million reduction 
in product revenue, a $3 million reduction in cost of products and a $4 million reduction to income tax expense, resulting in 
a $6 million reduction to net income ($0.04 per diluted share) in the previously filed, full-year 2006 financial statements.
Revenue and expenses in these amounts have subsequently been reflected in the 2007 results. Associated adjustments were also
made to decrease accounts receivable by $13 million, increase inventory by $3 million and increase deferred income taxes by 
$4 million within the December 31, 2006, consolidated balance sheet. The revision had no net impact on Teradata’s net cash
provided by operating activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006.

The change in goodwill is primarily due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In the fourth quarter of 2007, in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (“SFAS 142”), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,
the Company performed its annual test of goodwill impairment. No goodwill impairment losses were realized.

Teradata’s costs and expenses for periods prior to the Separation include allocations from NCR for, among other things,
centralized treasury, tax, accounting, legal, internal audit, human resources, severance, pension, public and investor relations,
general management, real estate, shared information technology systems, procurement and other statutory functions such 
as board of directors and centrally managed benefit arrangements. These allocations have been determined on a basis that 
NCR and Teradata considered to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to or the benefits received 
by Teradata. These allocations were based on methods that include such drivers as revenue, headcount, square footage, transaction
processing costs and others considered as a reasonable method in relation to the costs being allocated. Separation costs of
$15 million (for periods prior to the Separation) are included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended
December 31, 2007. Allocated costs included in the statements of income were as follows (allocated costs in 2007 include only

NCR and the Company entered into an Interim Services and Systems Replication Agreement, which provides for the provision of
certain transitional services by the Company and its subsidiaries to NCR and its subsidiaries, and vice versa. The services include the
provision of administrative and other services identified by the parties. The Interim Services and Systems Replication Agreement
provides for a term of up to 18 months for such services, which may be extended for an additional six months by mutual agreement
of the parties. The pricing is based on actual costs incurred by the party rendering the services plus a fixed percentage.

As discussed in the Form 10, NCR and the Company have also entered into certain other agreements, including the Separation

Teradata’s tax provisions arising from periods prior to the Separation include a provision for income taxes in certain tax jurisdictions
where its operations are profitable, but reflect only a portion of the tax benefits related to certain foreign operations’ tax losses due to
the uncertainty of the ultimate realization of future benefits from these losses.

The 2007 income tax provision includes a $10 million charge relating to a tax rate change in Germany. The income tax provision
also includes a $7 million net expense adjustment to correct prior period errors in the calculation of the income tax provision
related to intercompany profit eliminations. As the impact of this error was not material to any prior periods or to the full-year
2007 financial statements, it was recorded in 2007.

The 2005 income tax provision includes $33 million of benefits as a result of NCR’s resolution of prior-year tax audits. During 2005,
NCR settled the tax audit for years 1997–1999 with the appellate level of the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) resulting in a tax benefit
of $14 million. Also in 2005, NCR settled the tax audit for years 2000–2002 with the examination level of the IRS, resulting in a 
tax benefit of $19 million. The initial income tax accruals were established based upon the nature of uncertain tax positions in 
the federal return, and accruals for the related interest were compounded each year. The accruals were established by specifically
identifying risk items within the tax return and then assessing the likelihood of the items being challenged or overturned. The tax
accruals were necessary due to uncertainty regarding the ultimate sustainability of tax return deductions taken for areas that are

TERADATA 2007

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

prone to tax controversy and are complex areas of tax law. Teradata’s benefits from NCR’s settlement of the tax audits described
above were based on the specific identification of settled tax matters directly attributable to Teradata’s income before taxes, plus a
reasonable ratable allocation of settled matters that were related to tax matters and filing positions attributable to both Teradata
and NCR.

Teradata recorded valuation allowances related to certain deferred income tax assets due to the uncertainty of the ultimate
realization of future benefits from those assets. The valuation allowances relate to certain state deferred income tax assets in 
tax jurisdictions where there is uncertainty as to their ultimate realization.

Teradata did not provide for U.S. federal income taxes or foreign withholding taxes on approximately $141 million in 2007 
of undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries because such earnings are intended to be reinvested indefinitely.

In 2007, the Company identified certain errors in the calculation of deferred tax assets and liabilities that resulted in an
overstatement of net deferred tax assets and parent company equity in periods prior to the Separation, which were determined 
to be immaterial to previously issued financial statements. In 2007, the Company corrected the error by reducing net deferred tax
assets and parent company equity by approximately $43 million. This adjustment is included in the “Net transfers to parent”
in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity. The adjustment had no effect on previously reported income
tax expense, net income or cash.

The Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation 
of FASB Statement No. 109, on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing
thresholds and attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken
in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in
interim periods, and disclosure. Under FIN 48, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only 
if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical
merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based 
on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The adoption of FIN 48 
did not impact our results of operations or net assets. In accordance with the Tax Sharing Agreement between NCR and Teradata,
NCR is responsible for all taxes reported on any separate or joint return of NCR, which may also include Teradata for periods
prior to the Separation. As of December 31, 2007, the Company has no unrecognized tax benefits.

On January 1, 2006, the Company implemented the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised
2004) (“SFAS 123R”), Share-Based Payment, and related interpretations. SFAS 123R requires that all share-based payments to
employees, including grants of stock options, be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair value. The fair value 
of the Company’s stock-based awards, less estimated forfeitures, is amortized over the awards’ vesting periods on a straight-line
basis. The Company selected the modified prospective transition method for implementing SFAS 123R and began recognizing
compensation expense for stock-based awards granted on or after January 1, 2006, plus any unvested awards granted prior to
January 1, 2006. Under this transition method, prior periods have not been restated. For the periods prior to the Separation,
share-based compensation represents the costs related to NCR share-based awards granted to employees of Teradata recognized
under the provisions of SFAS 123R. In connection with the Separation on September 30, 2007, NCR share-based awards held by
Teradata employees were converted to equivalent share-based awards of Teradata Corporation based on the ratio of the Company’s
fair market value at the time of the Separation. The conversion was accounted for as a modification under the provisions of
SFAS 123R, and resulted in no increase in the fair value of the awards. As of December 31, 2007, the Company’s primary types 
of share-based compensation were stock options and restricted stock units.

Stock Options 
Prior to the Separation, all stock options granted to NCR employees engaged in Teradata’s business were granted under the NCR
Stock Incentive Plan (“NCR SIP”). The NCR SIP provided for the grant of several different forms of stock-based compensation,
including stock options to purchase shares of NCR common stock. The Compensation and Human Resource Committee of
NCR’s Board of Directors had discretion to determine the material terms and conditions of option awards under the SIP, provided
that (i) the exercise price must be no less than the fair market value of NCR common stock (as defined in the NCR SIP or
otherwise determined by the NCR Compensation and Human Resource Committee) on the date of grant, (ii) the term must 
be no longer than ten years, and (iii) in no event shall the normal vesting schedule provide for vesting in less than one year.

In connection with the Separation on September 30, 2007, NCR share-based awards held by Teradata employees were converted 
to equivalent share-based awards of Teradata Corporation based on the ratio of the Company’s fair market value to NCR and
Teradata’s combined fair market value at the time of the adjustment. The conversion was accounted for as a modification under
the provisions of SFAS 123R, and resulted in no increase in the fair value of the awards.

The Teradata Corporation 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Teradata SIP”) was adopted by Teradata’s Board of Directors on
September 6, 2007, after having been approved by NCR International, Inc., as sole stockholder of Teradata, on August 14, 2007.
Stock options granted under the Teradata SIP contain similar terms and conditions as those granted under the NCR SIP, including
terms no longer than 10 years, and exercise prices not less than the fair market value of Teradata common stock on the date of
grant. Grants generally have a four-year vesting period. A total of 20 million shares are authorized to be issued under the Teradata
SIP. New shares of the Company’s common stock are issued as a result of stock option exercises.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, the weighted-average fair value of options granted for Teradata and NCR awards was
$12.99 and $17.03, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the weighted-average fair value of NCR options granted
was $15.66. The fair value of each option award on the grant date was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with
the following assumptions:

Prior to the Separation, expected volatility incorporated a blend of both historical volatility of NCR’s stock over a period equal
to the expected term of the options and implied volatility from traded options on NCR’s stock, as NCR management believed 
this was more representative of prospective trends. NCR used historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination
within the valuation model. Subsequent to the Separation, expected volatility assumption was based on peer group volatility,
and the expected life assumption is based on the simplified method in accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 
No. 107 (“SAB 107”). The simplified method is based on the vesting period and contractual term for each vesting tranche of
awards. The mid-point between the vesting date and the expiration date is used as the expected term under this method. The risk-
free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the five-year U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect
at the time of grant.

The Company had previously accounted for stock-based employee compensation using the intrinsic value-based method in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), which required compensation expense for options 
to be recognized when the market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price on the date of grant. If the Company
had recognized stock option-based compensation expense based on the fair value of stock option grants, net income and net
income per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2005, would have been as follows:

Compensation for these employees, including stock-based compensation, was included in the corporate expense allocations (see Note 5) prior to the Separation.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised was $10 million in 2007, $21 million in 2006 and $32 million in 2005. Cash received
by the Company from option exercises under all share-based payment arrangements was $1 million in 2007 (following the
Separation). The tax benefit realized from these exercises was $3 million in 2007, $6 million in 2006 and $10 million in 2005.
As of December 31, 2007, there was $16 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock option grants.
That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units 
Prior to the Separation, all restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards granted to NCR employees engaged in Teradata’s business
were granted under the NCR SIP. The NCR SIP provided for the issuance of restricted stock, as well as restricted stock units. For
performance-based awards, performance goals were established by NCR’s Compensation and Human Resource Committee for each
respective performance period. Any grant of restricted stock or restricted stock units was subject to a vesting period of at least three
years, except that a one-year term of service may be required if vesting is conditioned upon achievement of performance goals.

In connection with the Separation, NCR restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards held by Teradata employees were converted
to equivalent restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards of Teradata Corporation based on the ratio of the Company’s fair
market value to NCR’s and Teradata’s combined fair market value at the time of the adjustment. The conversion was accounted for as
a modification under the provisions of SFAS 123R, and resulted in no increase in the fair value of the awards.

TERADATA 2007

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Teradata SIP provides for the issuance of restricted stock, as well as restricted stock units. Grants under the Teradata SIP
consist of both service-based and performance-based awards. Service-based awards typically vest over a three- to four-year 
period beginning on the effective date of grant. These grants are not subject to future performance measures. The cost of these
awards, determined to be the fair market value at the date of grant, is expensed ratably over the period the restrictions lapse.
For substantially all restricted stock grants, at the date of grant, the recipient has all rights of a stockholder, subject to certain
restrictions on transferability and a risk of forfeiture. A recipient of restricted stock units does not have the rights of a stockholder
but is subject to restrictions on transferability and risk of forfeiture. Performance-based grants are subject to future performance
measurements over a one- to three-year period. All performance-based shares will become vested at the end of the performance
period provided the employee is continuously employed by the Company and applicable performance measures are met.

TERADATA 2007

Other Share-based Plans 
The Company’s employee stock purchase program (“ESPP”) was adopted by Teradata’s Board of Directors on September 6, 2007,
after having been approved by NCR International, Inc., as sole stockholder of Teradata, on August 14, 2007. The plan became
effective on October 1, 2007. The plan provides eligible employees of Teradata and its designated subsidiaries an opportunity to
purchase the Company’s common stock at a discount to the average of the highest and lowest sale prices on the last trading day of
each month. The ESPP discount is 5% of the average market price. As a result, this plan was considered non-compensatory under
SFAS 123R. Employees may authorize payroll deductions of up to 10% of eligible compensation for common stock purchases.
No purchases were made under the ESPP in 2007, as the first enrollment period began after December 31, 2007. Purchases under
Teradata’s ESPP are expected to begin in 2008.

NOTE 8 Employee Benefit Plans

Pension and Postemployment Plans. Prior to the Separation, NCR employees engaged in Teradata’s business were eligible to
participate in pension, postretirement and postemployment benefit plans sponsored by NCR in many of the countries where
Teradata does business. As Teradata participated in NCR’s plans, it accounted for its pension and postemployment benefit costs
under the multiemployer plan approach, and has recognized the pension and postemployment costs allocated to it by NCR as
expense, with a corresponding contribution in parent company investment. Pension and postemployment benefit costs were
allocated to Teradata based on the projected benefit obligation associated with Teradata-specific employees and other NCR
employees who provided support services to Teradata. NCR froze its U.S. defined pension plans as of December 31, 2006, and
ceased to accrue additional benefits for all participants in the U.S. plans.

In conjunction with the Separation, certain of NCR’s pension and postemployment benefit obligations and plan assets relating to the
Teradata business were assumed by/transferred to the Company. Assets of the Company’s defined benefit plans are primarily invested
in publicly traded common stocks, corporate and government debt securities, real estate investments, and cash or cash equivalents.

Postemployment obligations relate to benefits provided to involuntarily terminated employees and certain inactive employees 
after employment but before retirement. These benefits are paid in accordance with various foreign statutory laws and regulations,
and Teradata’s established postemployment benefit practices and policies. Postemployment benefits may include disability 
benefits, supplemental unemployment benefits, severance, workers’ compensation benefits, continuation of health care benefits
and life insurance coverage, and are funded on a pay-as-you-go basis. There were no postretirement benefit obligations assumed
by the Company.

Pension and postemployment benefit costs for the years ended December 31 were as follows:

The weighted-average rates and assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at December 31, 2007, and net periodic benefit
cost for the year ended December 31, 2007, were as follows:

The Company employs a building block approach as its primary approach in determining the long-term expected rate of return
assumption for plan assets. Historical market returns are studied, and long-term relationships between equities and fixed income
are preserved consistent with the widely accepted capital market principle that assets with higher volatility generate a higher
return over the long run. Current market factors such as inflation and interest rates are evaluated before long-term capital market
assumptions are determined. The expected long-term portfolio return is established for each plan via a building block approach
with proper rebalancing consideration. The result is then adjusted to reflect additional expected return from active management
net of plan expenses. Historical plan returns, the expectations of other capital market participants and peer data are all used to
review and check the results for reasonableness and appropriateness.

The discount rate used to determine year-end 2007 U.S. benefit obligations was derived by matching the plans’ expected future
cash flows to the corresponding yields from the Citigroup Pension Discount Curve. This yield curve has been constructed to
represent the available yields on high-quality fixed-income investments across a broad range of future maturities. International
discount rates were determined by examining interest rate levels and trends within each country, particularly yields on high-
quality long-term corporate bonds, relative to our future expected cash flows.

Gains and losses have resulted from changes in actuarial assumptions and from differences between assumed and actual experience,
including, among other items, changes in discount rates and differences between actual and assumed asset returns. These gains
and losses (except those differences being amortized to the market-related value) are only amortized to the extent that they exceed
10% of the higher of the market-related value or the projected benefit obligation of each respective plan. As a result, unrecognized
net losses of $1 million and an immaterial amount of prior service cost are expected to be amortized during fiscal 2008.

Plan Assets. The weighted-average asset allocations at December 31, 2007, by asset category are as follows:

Investment Strategy. Teradata employs a total return investment approach whereby a mix of equities, fixed-income and real 
estate investments are used to maximize the long-term return of plan assets subject to a prudent level of risk. The risk tolerance is
established for each plan through a careful consideration of plan liabilities, plan funded status and corporate financial condition.
The investment portfolios contain a diversified blend of equity and fixed-income investments. Furthermore, equity investments are
diversified across domestic and international stocks, small and large capitalization stocks, and growth and value stocks. Fixed-income
assets are also diversified across domestic and international issuers, and type of fixed-income security (i.e., government and corporate
bonds). Where applicable, real estate investments are made through real estate securities, partnership interests or direct investment,
and are diversified by property type and location. Other assets such as cash are used judiciously to improve portfolio diversification
and enhance risk-adjusted portfolio returns. Derivatives may be used to adjust market exposures in an efficient and timely manner.
Due to the timing of security purchases and sales, cash held by fund managers is classified in the same asset category as the related
investment. Rebalancing algorithms are applied to keep the asset mix of the plans from deviating excessively from their targets.
Investment risk is measured and monitored on an ongoing basis through regular performance reporting, investment manager
reviews, actuarial liability measurements and periodic investment strategy reviews.

Savings Plans. U.S. employees and many international employees participate in defined contribution savings plans. These plans
generally provide either a specified percent of pay or a matching contribution on participating employees’ voluntary elections.
The Company’s matching contributions typically are subject to a maximum percentage or level of compensation. Employee contributions
can be made pre-tax, after-tax or a combination thereof. The expense under the U.S. plan was approximately $11 million in 2007.
The expense under international and subsidiary savings plans was $6 million in 2007. Certain of these amounts represent
contributions made by NCR to the defined contribution savings plans in periods prior to the Separation.

NOTE 9 Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

As a portion of the Company’s operations and revenue occur outside the United States, and in currencies other than the U.S.
dollar, the Company is exposed to potential losses from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To mitigate the impact of
currency fluctuations, the Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge transactional exposures resulting from
foreign currency denominated intercompany inventory purchases. The forward contracts are designated as fair value hedges of
specified foreign currency denominated intercompany payables and generally mature in three months or less. The Company 
does not hold or issue 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 agreement.

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.

At December 31, 2007, the contract notional amount of the Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts was $66 million.
The fair value derivative assets and liabilities recorded in other current assets and accrued liabilities at December 31, 2007, are not
material. The Company was not party to any derivative financial instruments at December 31, 2006.

The aggregate net foreign currency transaction losses (gains) in 2007, 2006 and 2005 were not material to the results of operations.
The aggregate foreign currency transaction amounts include the gains/losses on the Company’s foreign currency fair value hedges
for all periods presented.

NOTE 10 Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to proceedings, lawsuits, claims and other matters, including those 
that relate to the environment, health and safety, employee benefits, export compliance, intellectual property, tax matters, and
other regulatory compliance and general matters, including those described below. Because such matters are subject to many
uncertainties, their outcomes are not predictable. While the Company believes that amounts provided in our condensed
consolidated financial statements are currently adequate in light of the probable and estimable liabilities, there can be no
assurances that the amounts required to satisfy alleged liabilities from such matters will not impact future operating results.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

TERADATA 2007

The Company is subject to governmental investigations and requests for information from time to time. Presently, the United States
Department of Justice is conducting an investigation regarding the propriety of the Company’s arrangements or understandings
with others in connection with certain federal contracts and the adequacy of certain disclosures related to such contracts.
The investigation arises in connection with civil litigation in federal district court filed under the qui tam provisions of the civil
False Claims Act against a number of information technology companies, including the Company. The complaints against the
Company remain under seal. The Company is conducting its own internal investigation focusing on the propriety of certain
transactions under federal programs under which Teradata was a contractor. The Company has shared evidence of questionable
conduct that the Company has uncovered with the Justice Department and intends to continue to cooperate with the Justice
Department in its investigation. The Company has recorded a reserve of approximately $1 million related to the current best
estimate of potential liability relating to this matter.

A separate portion of the government’s investigation relates to the adequacy of pricing disclosures made to the government 
in connection with negotiation of NCR’s General Services Administration Federal Supply Schedule as it relates to Teradata,
and to whether certain subsequent price reductions were properly passed on to the government. Both NCR and the Company 
are participating in this aspect of the investigation, with respect to certain products and services of each, and each will assume
financial responsibility for its own exposures, if any, without indemnification from the other. At this time, the Company is unable
to determine whether it has liability with respect to this aspect of the investigation.

The Company believes the amounts provided in its financial statements are adequate in light of the probable and estimable liabilities.
However, there can be no assurances that the actual amounts required to satisfy alleged liabilities from the matter described above and
other matters, and to comply with applicable laws and regulations, will not exceed the amounts reflected in the Company’s financial
statements or will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Any costs that may
be incurred in excess of those amounts provided as of December 31, 2007, cannot currently be reasonably determined.

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 partner. In some instances, the Company guarantees the leasing partner a minimum value
at the end of the lease term on the leased equipment or guarantees lease payments between the customer and the leasing partner.
As of December 31, 2007, the maximum future payment obligation of this guaranteed value and the associated liability balance was
$6 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. From time to time, product design or quality corrections are accomplished
through modification programs. When identified, associated costs of labor and parts for such programs are estimated and accrued
as part of the warranty reserve.

The following table identifies the activity relating to the warranty reserve for the years ended December 31:

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.
Amounts associated with these maintenance contracts are not included in the table above.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.
In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors. 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.
The Company has not recorded a liability in connection with these indemnifications. 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.

Contractual and Other Commercial Commitments In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various contractual
obligations that impact, or could impact, liquidity. The following table and discussion outlines the Company’s material obligations

Lease obligations in the above table include facilities in various domestic and international locations, as well as leases from NCR
for properties that are currently owned by NCR and partially utilized by the Company. Purchase obligations are committed
purchase orders and other contractual commitments for goods and services, and include contractual payments in relation to
service agreements with Accenture LLP and NCR for ongoing transaction services.

The Company also has product warranties and several guarantees to third parties, as well as postemployment and international
pension obligations that may affect future cash flow. These items are not included in the table of obligations shown above.
Product warranties and third-party guarantees are described in detail above in this Note. Postemployment and pension obligations
are described in detail in Note 8.

Concentrations of Risk. The Company is potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk on accounts receivable and financial
instruments such as hedging instruments, and cash and cash equivalents. Credit risk includes the risk of nonperformance by
counterparties. The maximum potential loss may exceed the amount recognized on the balance sheet. Exposure to credit risk is 
managed through credit approvals, credit limits, selecting major international financial institutions (as counterparties to hedging
transactions) and monitoring procedures. Teradata’s business often involves large transactions with customers, and if one or 
more of those customers were to default in its obligations under applicable contractual arrangements, the Company could be
exposed to potentially significant losses. However, management believes that the reserves for potential losses were adequate at
December 31, 2007 and 2006.

The Company is also potentially subject to concentrations of supplier risk. Our hardware components are assembled exclusively 
by Flextronics Corporation (formerly Solectron). Flextronics procures a wide variety of components used in the manufacturing
process on our behalf. Although many of these components are available from multiple sources, the Company utilizes preferred
supplier relationships to better ensure more consistent quality, cost and delivery. Typically, these preferred suppliers maintain
alternative processes and/or facilities to ensure continuity of supply. Given the Company’s strategy to outsource its manufacturing
activities to Flextronics and to source certain components from single suppliers, a disruption in production at Flextronics or at a
supplier could impact the timing of customer shipments.

NOTE 11 Revolving Credit Facility

On October 1, 2007, Teradata entered into a five-year, $300 million unsecured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a
syndicate of financial institutions and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent. The Credit Agreement provides for a
revolving credit commitment of up to $300 million, and expires on October 1, 2012. Borrowing under the Credit Agreement is
subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions precedent. The credit facilities contain certain representations and warranties;
conditions; affirmative, negative and financial covenants; and events of default customary for such facilities. For most borrowings,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

41

TERADATA 2007

Teradata would anticipate choosing a floating rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). If the facility had been
fully drawn at December 31, 2007, the spread over the LIBOR would have been 32 basis points (for an interest rate of 5.04%,
assuming a 6-month borrowing term) given Teradata’s leverage ratio at that date. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had no
borrowings outstanding under this revolving credit facility and was in compliance with all covenants.

NOTE 12 Subsequent Events

On February 11, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized two stock repurchase programs. The employee 
stock dilution offset program is an ongoing, self-funding anti-dilution program that uses the cash received from employee share
purchases under the Teradata Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan and option exercises under the Teradata Corporation
2007 Stock Incentive Plan to repurchase Company common stock on the open market at management’s discretion, in accordance
with applicable securities rules regarding issuer repurchases. In addition, the Board authorized a general open market share
repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may spend up to $250 million over a two-year period to repurchase its
common stock on the open market at management’s discretion, in accordance with applicable securities rules regarding issuer
repurchases. No stock repurchases had been made by the Company as of December 31, 2007. Subsequent to the Company’s
customary blackout period surrounding the release of earnings, from February 14, 2008 through February 29, 2008, the Company
repurchased approximately 1.6 million shares for approximately $38 million. In order to preserve the tax-free status of the Separation,
the accumulated shares repurchased in the two-year period following the Separation must remain below 20% of the common
shares outstanding on September 30, 2007.

NOTE 13 Segment, Other Supplemental Information and Concentrations

Teradata manages its business in three geographic regions, which are also the Company’s operating segments: (1) the North America
and Latin Americas (“Americas”) region; (2) the Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) region; and (3) the Asia Pacific and
Japan (“APJ”) region. Management evaluates the performance of its segments based on revenue and segment margin, and does not
include segment assets for management reporting purposes. Segment margin excludes certain corporate-related costs consistent
with the manner by which management evaluates segment operating performance. This presentation is useful to investors because 
it allows analysis and comparability of operating trends. The Company’s management does not use corporate-level selling, general
and administrative, or research and development expenses to measure and evaluate regional segment performance.
