Teradata offers analytic data solutions to many major industries, which include financial services (including banking and insurance), media and communications (including telecommunications, e-business, media and entertainment), retail, manufacturing, healthcare, government, travel and transportation. 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”). In 2011, Teradata completed its acquisitions of Aprimo, Inc. (“Aprimo”), a global provider of integrated marketing software solutions, as well as Aster Data Systems, Inc. (“Aster Data”), a market leader in advanced analytics and the management of diverse, multi-structured data. Both Aprimo and Aster Data have been integrated into Teradata’s operations. With Aprimo, Teradata has expanded its offering of business analytics with integrated marketing solutions that enable customers to improve marketing performance with data-driven insights. The Aprimo organization supports Teradata’s applications strategy, including development, marketing, sales, and services. Through the acquisition of Aster Data, Teradata has expanded its technologies that enable businesses to perform better analytics on large sets of multi-structured data, also known as big data analytics. 2011 fInAnCIAl oVeRVIeW As more fully discussed in later sections of this MD&A, the following are the financial highlights for 2011: • Revenue increased 22% in 2011 from 2010, with double-digit growth rates in all three operating regions. teRADAtA 2011 › › › 2 › › › MAnAGeMent’s DIsCussIon AnD AnAlYsIs • Gross margin was 54.7% in 2011, down from 56.2% in 2010, largely driven by the impact of a higher mix of consulting revenues, as well as acquisition-related costs and greater amortization costs on product margins. • Operating income was $456 million in 2011, up from $415 million in 2010. Operating income in 2011 benefited from greater revenue volume, offset in part by higher Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, which included incremental sales headcount and the impact of transaction, integration and reorganization expenses, as well as amortization of intangible assets associated with the acquisitions of Aprimo and Aster Data. • Net income of $353 million in 2011 increased from $301 million in 2010. Net income per common (diluted) share was $2.05 in 2011 compared to $1.77 in 2010. Net income for 2011 includes approximately $46 million in after-tax impacts of acquisition-related purchase accounting adjustments, transaction, integration and reorganization expenses, and amortization of acquired intangible assets, offset by a $22 million gain on equity investments due to purchase and sale transactions. stRAteGY oVeRVIeW Teradata is a leader in helping companies manage, integrate, and analyze growing data volumes and complexity to gain business insight and competitive advantage. Teradata’s strategy focuses on three large and growing markets—data warehousing, big data analytics, and marketing and business applications. Additionally, we have four key initiatives underway to broaden our position in the market and take advantage of these market opportunities. These initiatives are to: • Invest to extend Teradata’s core database technology and software application offerings, and expand our family of compatible data warehouse platforms to address multiple market segments and solution offerings through internal development and targeted strategic acquisitions such as Aprimo and Aster Data, • Differentiate Teradata technology and drive platform demand by delivering consulting services that enable customers to achieve business value through the use of best-in-class analytics, • Invest in partnerships to increase the number of solutions available on Teradata platforms, maximize customer value and increase our market coverage, and • Continue to seek opportunities to increase our market coverage through additional sales territories (hiring incremental sales account executives as well as technology and industry consultants). futuRe tRenDs We believe that demand for our solutions will continue to increase due to the continued increase in data volumes and types of data, 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. 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 fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. In 2012, Teradata would expect approximately 1 percentage point of adverse impact from currency translation on its reported revenue and a corresponding currency impact on operating income, based on currency rates as of January 31, 2012. There have been continued signs of economic recovery in 2011, particularly with respect to information technology spending; however, risks associated with macroeconomic challenges and fluctuations still exist. Even in a strong economic environment, the size, timing and contracted terms of large customer orders for our products and services can impact, both positively and negatively, our operating results. While macroeconomic risk factors in the IT environment always exist, our long-term outlook remains positive. We did not experience significant changes in 2011 due to competitive and/or pricing trends for our data warehouse or appliance solutions, although there is always a risk that pricing pressure for our solutions could occur in the future. Additionally, as companies look to reduce ongoing operating expenses, customers may choose to go to lower maintenance service level agreements which could lead to revenue and margin pressure on our maintenance services business. We continue to be committed to new product development and achieving a responsive yield from our research and development spending and resources, which are intended to drive future demand. We also continue to evaluate opportunities to increase our market coverage and are committed to MAnAGeMent’s DIsCussIon AnD AnAlYsIs › › › 3 › › › teRADAtA 2011 continuing to increase our number of sales territories, among other things, to drive future revenue growth. Given the length of sales cycles, for new customers in the data warehouse market, new sales account territories typically take more than two years, on average, to become fully productive.

The revenue increase included a positive effect of 3% from foreign currency fluctuations, and 3% from acquisitions. Product revenue increased 20% in 2011 from 2010, led by improvements in the Americas and EMEA regions. Service revenue increased 24% in 2011 from 2010, driven primarily by increases in consulting and installation-related (“consulting”) services revenue in the Americas and EMEA regions. Overall, consulting revenue increased 30% in 2011 from 2010, and maintenance services revenue increased 17% during the same period. Teradata revenue increased 13% in 2010 from 2009. The revenue increase included a positive effect of 1% from foreign currency fluctuations. Product revenue increased 21% in 2010 from 2009, driven by increases in the Americas region, and to a lesser extent the APJ region. Service revenue increased 7% in 2010 from 2009, driven by increases in both consulting services revenue in the Americas and EMEA regions, and increases in maintenance services revenue in the Americas and APJ regions. Gross Margin Gross margin was 54.7% in 2011, down from 56.2% in 2010, due to the impact of acquisition-related costs, as well as the increased proportion of consulting services revenue, which typically carries a lower margin rate. Product gross margin decreased to 66.0% in 2011 from 67.2% in 2010. The lower product margins were driven primarily by $15 million in acquisition- related purchase accounting adjustments for deferred revenue of Aprimo and Aster Data at the time of their respective acquisitions for which there was no further performance requirement, $14 million in additional amortization costs of acquired intangible assets, and $10 million in additional amortization of capitalized internal software development costs. Services gross margin decreased to 44.5% in 2011 from 46.0% in 2010. The lower service margins were driven primarily by a greater proportion of consulting revenue, as compared to maintenance revenue, as well as lower consulting services margins, primarily due to expanding our headcount in response to growing and driving new business opportunities. Incremental headcount can initially have a negative impact on margins, particularly while the employees are being trained and are not yet fully productive. Service gross margins in 2011 also included $6 million in acquisition-related purchase accounting adjustments, transaction, integration and reorganization costs. Gross margin was 56.2% in 2010, up from 54.9% in 2009. Product gross margin increased to 67.2% from 65.2% in 2009 with improvements in all three regions. Product gross margins benefitted from a favorable deal mix and lower corporate and overhead costs, including amortization of capitalized software development expenses, as compared to 2009. The term “deal mix” refers to the revenue mix of our product sales consummated in a particular period, including both software versus hardware content and mix, and amount and mix of third-party products re-sold. Services gross margin decreased somewhat teRADAtA 2011 › › › 4 › › › MAnAGeMent’s DIsCussIon AnD AnAlYsIs to 46.0% in 2010 from 46.4% in 2009, due to incremental compensation expenses from hiring additional consultants, as well as higher variable compensation expenses resulting from the Company’s improved achievement against performance targets as compared to 2009. The improvement in total gross margins also benefitted from a higher proportion of product revenue, in relation to services revenue, as compared to the prior year. Operating Expenses Total operating expenses, including SG&A and Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses, were $837 million in 2011 compared to $673 million in 2010. The $137 million increase in SG&A expenses was driven by higher selling expense, due primarily to our strategic initiative to add sales headcount, as well as increased revenue-driven costs for sales commissions. SG&A expenses were also impacted by transaction, integration and reorganization expenses, as well as amortization of intangible assets associated with the acquisitions of Aprimo and Aster Data, which totaled $22 million in 2011, in addition to the impact of additional headcount and infrastructure brought on by the Aprimo and Aster Data acquisitions. The $27 million increase in R&D expenses was primarily due to higher engineering headcount expenses, including new engineering headcount from the Aprimo and Aster Data acquisitions, as well as $9 million in transaction and integration costs and amortization of acquired intangible assets associated with the Aprimo and Aster Data acquisitions. These increases were offset in part by $19 million more in capitalization of software development cost as compared to the prior-year period. Total operating expenses were $673 million in 2010 compared to $600 million in 2009. The $43 million increase in SG&A expenses was driven primarily by greater selling expense, with higher sales headcount due to sales territory expansions, and increased sales commissions due to higher revenues. The $30 million increase in R&D expenses was driven by increased headcount and salaries, as well as $10 million less in capitalization of software development costs as compared to 2009. Variable incentive compensation expense was also higher, in both SG&A and R&D expenses, due to the Company’s improved performance against annual operating targets, as compared to 2009. Other Income (Expense) Other income and expense was $25 million of net income in 2011, compared to $1 million of net expense in 2010. The net income in 2011 resulted primarily from $28 million in gains on equity investments. On May 24, 2011, the Company completed the sale of an equity investment in Pliant Technology, Inc. The Company received proceeds of $30 million and recognized a net gain of $17 million in respect of the transaction. Additionally, as part of the required accounting for the acquisition of Aster Data on April 5, 2011, Teradata’s existing 11.2% equity investment in Aster Data was valued at $36 million, triggering the recognition of an $11 million gain. Other expense and income was $1 million of net expense in 2010, compared to $4 million of net expense in 2009. The net expense in 2010 resulted primarily from charges for equity-method investment losses and bank fees, which were not fully offset by interest income in the period, due to the lower interest rate environment. The somewhat greater net expense in 2009 resulted from a $5 million charge to write-down the value of an equity investment. Income Taxes The effective income tax rate was 27%, 27% and 24% for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The effective tax rate for 2011 was impacted by a $4 million discrete tax benefit related to the book gain recorded on the Company’s previous equity investment in Aster Data, which was reflected as a permanent non-taxable item in the second quarter of 2011. The increase in the effective tax rate in 2011 and 2010, as compared to 2009, was due to a greater proportion of the Company’s pre-tax earnings being generated in the United States, which has a higher statutory corporate tax rate of 35% as compared to the overall statutory effective tax rate of approximately 14.5% related to our foreign earnings. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2010 included a $5 million tax benefit associated with the recognition of certain foreign net operating loss carryforwards resulting from an audit settlement in the first quarter of 2010. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2009 included a net tax benefit for a recurring state and local income tax credit that was not recognized in the 2008 income tax rate. We currently estimate our full-year effective tax rate for 2012 to be approximately 27%. This estimate takes into consideration, among other things, the forecasted earnings mix by jurisdiction for 2012, and assumes the U.S. Research & Development Tax Credit, which expired as of December 31, 2011, is retroactively reinstated in 2012. The provision for income taxes is based on the pre-tax earnings mix by jurisdiction of Teradata and its subsidiaries under the Company’s current structure.

MAnAGeMent’s DIsCussIon AnD AnAlYsIs › › › 5 › › › teRADAtA 2011 Revenue and Gross Margin by Operating Segment As described in “Note 11—Segment, Other Supplemental Information and Concentrations” in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Teradata manages its business in three geographic regions, which are also the Company’s operating segments: (1) the Americas region; (2) the EMEA region; and (3) the APJ region. Teradata believes this format is useful to investors because it allows analysis and comparability of operating trends by operating segment. 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. The following table presents revenue and operating performance by segment for the years ended December 31: In millions Revenue Americas EMEA APJ Total revenue Gross margin Americas EMEA APJ Total gross margin 2011 % of Revenue 2010 % of Revenue 2009 % of Revenue $1,436 548 378 2,362 837 281 175 $1,293 61% 23% 16% 100% 58.3% 51.3% 46.3% 54.7% $ 1,166 442 328 1,936 702 232 154 $ 1,088 60% 23% 17% 100% 60.2% 52.5% 47.0% 56.2% $ 981 430 298 1,709 570 230 138 $ 938 57% 25% 18% 100% 58.1% 53.5% 46.3% 54.9% Americas Revenue increased 23% in 2011 from 2010, led by a 33% increase in consulting services revenue. The revenue increase was not significantly impacted by foreign currency fluctuations. Gross margin decreased to 58.3% in 2011, from 60.2% in 2010, driven primarily by lower product margins which were impacted by acquisition-related purchase accounting adjustments, additional amortization costs of acquired intangible assets from Aprimo and Aster Data, and additional amortization of capitalized internal software development costs, as well as by the greater proportion of consulting services revenue (versus product revenue), as compared to the prior-year period. Revenue increased 19% in 2010 from 2009, led by a 30% increase in product revenue. The revenue increase included 1% of benefit from foreign currency fluctuations. Gross margin increased to 60.2% in 2010, from 58.1% in 2009, driven primarily by improved product margins, as compared to the prior year. EMEA Revenue increased 24% in 2011 from 2010, led by a 32% increase in consulting services revenue. The revenue increase included 6% of benefit from foreign currency fluctuations. Gross margin decreased to 51.3% in 2011, from 52.5% in 2010, driven primarily by the greater proportion of consulting services revenue (compared to product revenue), as compared to the prior-year period. Revenue increased 3% in 2010 from 2009, with a 7% increase in consulting revenue overcoming relatively flat product and maintenance revenues. The revenue increase included 3% of adverse impact from foreign currency fluctuations. Gross margin decreased to 52.5% in 2010, from 53.5% in 2009, driven by the impact of a lower proportion of product revenues, as compared to services revenue, as well as somewhat lower maintenance margins, as compared to the prior year. APJ Revenue increased 15% in 2011 from 2010, led by a 19% increase in consulting services revenue. The revenue increase included 7% of benefit from foreign currency fluctuations. Gross margin decreased to 46.3% in 2011, from 47.0% in 2010. The gross margin decline was driven primarily by lower product margins, which were impacted by higher amortization costs from acquired intangible assets and capitalized internal software development costs, as well as by the greater proportion of consulting services revenue, as compared to 2010. Revenue increased 10% in 2010 from 2009, led by a 17% increase in product revenue. The revenue increase included 8% of benefit from foreign currency fluctuations. Gross margin improved to 47.0% in 2010, from 46.3% in 2009, driven by the impact of the higher proportion of product revenue, as well as higher product margins, offset in part by lower consulting services margins, as compared to 2009. teRADAtA 2011 › › › 6 › › › MAnAGeMent’s DIsCussIon AnD AnAlYsIs fInAnCIAl ConDItIon, lIQuIDItY AnD CApItAl ResouRCes Teradata ended 2011 with $772 million in cash and cash equivalents, an $111 million decrease from the December 31, 2010 balance of cash and cash equivalents, after using approximately $744 million for the acquisitions of Aprimo and Aster Data (net of target company cash holdings), as well as $127 million for repurchases of Company common stock during the year. Cash provided by operating activities increased by $100 million to $513 million in 2011. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to higher net income, net of non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization, stock- based compensation expense, deferred income taxes and gains on equity investments. An increase in receivables and “other assets and liabilities” of approximately $76 million was offset by decreases in inventory and increases in current payables and deferred revenue. Teradata’s management uses a non-GAAP measure called “free cash flow,” which is not a measure defined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures for property and equipment, and additions to capitalized software, as one measure of assessing the financial performance of the Company, and this may differ from the definition used by other companies. The components that are used to calculate free cash flow are GAAP measures taken directly from the 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 and repurchase of Teradata common stock. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since there may be other non-discretionary expenditures that are not deducted from the measure. This non-GAAP measure should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, cash flows from operating activities under GAAP. The table below shows net cash provided by operating activities and capital expenditures for the following periods: In millions Net income Net cash provided by operating activities Less: Expenditures for property and equipment Additions to capitalized software Free cash flow 2011 2010 2009 $ 353 $ 513 (42) (68) $ 403 $ 301 $ 413 (34) (49) $ 330 $ 254 $ 455 (29) (59) $ 367 Financing activities and certain other investing activities are not included in our calculation of free cash flow. Other investing activities in 2011 primarily consisted of Teradata’s acquisitions of Aprimo and Aster Data as discussed further below. In 2010, these other investing activities primarily consisted of two immaterial business acquisitions and an immaterial cost-method equity investment. In 2009, other investing activities primarily consisted of purchases and maturities of short-term investments. Teradata’s short-term investments consisted of bank time deposits with original maturities between three months and one year. Teradata’s financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2011 primarily consisted of $300 million in proceeds from a new 5 year term loan, as discussed below, as well as repurchases of the Company’s common stock. Teradata’s financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 consisted primarily of cash outflows from our share repurchase activities. The Company purchased 2.5 million shares of its common stock at an average price per share of $50.78 in 2011, 2.9 million shares at an average price per share of $29.57 in 2010, and 7.0 million shares at an average price per share of $25.11 in 2009. Share repurchases were made under two share repurchase programs authorized by our Board of Directors in 2008. The first program (the “dilution offset program”) authorizes the Company to purchase Teradata common stock to the extent of cash received from the exercise of stock options and the Teradata Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) to offset dilution from shares issued pursuant to these plans. On May 4, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized an additional $300 million increase to the Company’s second program (the “general share repurchase program”). As of December 31, 2011, the Company had $75 million of authorization remaining on the $300 million general share repurchase program to repurchase outstanding shares of Teradata common stock. On February 6, 2012, our Board of Directors approved a new, $300 million share repurchase authorization to replace the prior $300 million authorization that was to expire on February 10, 2012. Share repurchases made by the Company are reported on a trade date basis. Our share repurchase activity depends on factors such as our working MAnAGeMent’s DIsCussIon AnD AnAlYsIs › › › 7 › › › teRADAtA 2011 capital needs, our cash requirements for capital investments, our stock price, and economic and market conditions. Proceeds from the ESPP and the exercise of stock options were $25 million in 2011, $31 million in 2010 and $25 million in 2009. These proceeds are included in Other Financing Activities, Net in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Our total in cash and cash equivalents held outside the United States in various foreign subsidiaries was $594 million as of December 31, 2011 and $506 million as of December 31, 2010. The remaining balance held in the United States was $178 million as of December 31, 2011 and $377 million as of December 31, 2010. Under current tax laws and regulations, if cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments held outside the United States are distributed to the United States in the form of dividends or otherwise, we may be subject to additional U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and foreign withholding taxes. As of December 31, 2011, we have not provided for the U.S. federal tax liability on approximately $728 million of foreign earnings that are considered permanently reinvested outside of the United States. 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, 2011, the spread over the LIBOR would have been 40 basis points (for an interest rate of 1.21%, assuming a 6 month borrowing term) given Teradata’s leverage ratio at that date. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under this revolving credit facility and was in compliance with all covenants. The Company expects to renew/replace its current credit facility in 2012. On January 21, 2011, Teradata completed the acquisition of Aprimo. The $525 million purchase price of this all-cash acquisition was funded in part by using $225 million of existing U.S. cash (offset by $26 million of cash held on Aprimo’s balance sheet at the time it was acquired), and in part by drawing-down the full $300 million borrowing capacity from the Company’s Credit Facility. The $300 million in credit facility borrowings were repaid in full during the second quarter of 2011. On April 5, 2011, Teradata completed the acquisition of Aster Data. The aggregate consideration payable by Teradata for all of the outstanding equity interests of Aster Data was $259 million. The aggregate consideration payable excluded the value of Teradata’s pre-existing 11.2% equity investment in Aster Data. Also on April 5, 2011, Teradata entered into a new $300 million five-year, unsecured term loan, and used a portion of these funds to finance the Aster Data acquisition. The outstanding principal amount of the term loan agreement bears interest at a floating rate based upon a negotiated base rate or a Eurodollar rate plus in each case a margin based on the leverage ratio of the Company. As of December 31, 2011, the term loan principal outstanding was $300 million, and carried an interest rate of 1.31%. Management believes current cash and short-term investment resources, Company cash flows from operations and its $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 at least the next twelve months. The Company principally holds its cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in bank deposits and highly-rated money market funds. The Company’s ability to generate positive cash flows from operations is dependent on general economic conditions, competitive pressures, and other business and risk factors described elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Contractual and Other Commercial Commitments. In the normal course of business, we enter into various contractual obligations that impact, or could impact, our liquidity. The following table and discussion outlines our material obligations at December 31, 2011, with projected cash payments in the periods shown: In millions Principal payments on long-term debt Interest payments on long-term debt Lease obligations Purchase obligations Total debt, lease and purchase obligations Total Amounts $ 300 15 54 2 $ 371 2012 2013-2014 2015-2016 $ $ 11 4 19 1 35 $ 41 7 21 1 $ 70 $ 248 4 10 – $ 262 2017 and Thereafter $ $ – – 4 – 4 teRADAtA 2011 › › › 8 › › › MAnAGeMent’s DIsCussIon AnD AnAlYsIs Our principal payments on long-term debt represent the expected cash payments on our $300 million term loan and do not include any fair value adjustments or discounts and premiums. Our interest payments on long-term debt represent the estimated cash interest payments based on the prevailing interest rate on our $300 million term loan as of December 31, 2011. Our lease obligations in the above table include Company facilities in various domestic and international locations. Purchase obligations are committed purchase orders and other contractual commitments for goods and services, and include contractual payments in relation to service agreements with various vendors for ongoing service parts logistics, and other services. We also have product warranties and 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 8—Commitments and Contingencies” in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Postemployment and pension obligations are described in detail in “Note 6—Employee Benefit Plans” in 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. 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 the Audit Committee of Teradata’s Board of Directors. For additional information regarding our accounting policies and other disclosures required by GAAP, see “Note 1—Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies” in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Revenue Recognition Teradata’s solution offerings typically include software, software subscriptions (unspecified when-and-if-available upgrades), hardware, maintenance support services, and other consulting, implementation and installation-related (“consulting”) services. Teradata records revenue when it is realized, or realizable, and earned. Teradata considers these requirements met when: • Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists • The products or services have been delivered to the customer • The sales price is fixed or determinable and free of contingencies or significant uncertainties • 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. The Company assesses whether fees are fixed or determinable at the time of sale. Standard payment terms may vary based on the country in which the agreement is executed, but are generally between 30 and 90 days. Payments that are due within six months are generally deemed to be fixed or determinable based on a successful MAnAGeMent’s DIsCussIon AnD AnAlYsIs › › › 9 › › › teRADAtA 2011 collection history on such arrangements, and thereby satisfy the required criteria for revenue recognition. 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 (collectively referred to as “resellers”). In assessing whether the sales price to a reseller is fixed or determinable, the Company considers, among other things, past business practices with the reseller, the reseller’s operating history, payment terms, return rights and the financial wherewithal of the reseller. When Teradata determines that the contract fee to a reseller is not fixed or determinable, that transaction is deferred and recognized upon sell-through to the end customer. The Company’s deliverables often involve delivery or performance at different periods of time. Revenue for software is generally recognized upon delivery with the hardware once title and risk of loss have been transferred. 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 contract. Revenue for other consulting, implementation and installation services is recognized as services are provided. In certain instances, acceptance of the product or service is specified by the customer. In such cases, revenue is deferred until the acceptance criteria have been met. Delivery and acceptance generally occur in the same reporting period. The Company’s arrangements generally do not include any customer negotiated provisions for cancellation, termination or refunds that would significantly impact recognized revenue. In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended the accounting standards for revenue recognition to remove tangible products containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality from the scope of the industry-specific software revenue recognition guidance. In October 2009, the FASB also amended the accounting standards for multiple deliverable revenue arrangements to: • Provide updated guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables in an arrangement should be separated, and how the consideration should be allocated; • Require an entity to allocate revenue in an arrangement using its best estimate of selling prices (“BESP”) for deliverables if a vendor does not have vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price (“VSOE”) or third-party evidence of selling price (“TPE”); and • Eliminate the use of the residual method and require an entity to allocate revenue using the relative selling price method. The standard is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Teradata adopted these standards on a prospective basis as of the beginning of fiscal 2011 for new and materially modified arrangements originating on or after January 1, 2011. The Company evaluates all deliverables in an arrangement to determine whether they represent separate units of accounting. A deliverable constitutes a separate unit of accounting when it has standalone value, and if the contract includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item, delivery or performance of the undelivered items is considered probable and substantially in the control of Teradata. This new guidance does not generally change the units of accounting for the Company’s revenue transactions. Most of the Company’s products and services qualify as separate units of accounting and are recognized upon meeting the criteria as described above. For multiple deliverable arrangements that contain non-software related deliverables, the Company allocates revenue to each deliverable based upon the relative selling price hierarchy and if software and software-related deliverables are also included in the arrangement, to those deliverables as a group based on the BESP for the group. The selling price for a deliverable is based on its VSOE if available, TPE if VSOE is not available, or BESP if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. The Company then recognizes revenue when the remaining revenue recognition criteria are met for each deliverable. For the software group or arrangements that contain only software and software-related deliverables, the revenue recognition criteria utilizing the residual method remains unchanged as further described below. Teradata’s data warehousing software and hardware products are sold and delivered together in the form of a “Node” of capacity as an integrated technology solution. Because both the database software and hardware platform are necessary to deliver the data warehouse’s essential functionality, the database software and hardware (Node) are excluded from the software rules and considered a non-software related deliverable. Teradata software applications and related support are considered software-related deliverables. Additionally, the amount of revenue allocated to the delivered items utilizing the relative selling price method is limited to the amount that is not contingent upon the delivery of additional items or meeting other specified performance conditions (the non-contingent amount). teRADAtA 2011 › › › 10 › › › MAnAGeMent’s DIsCussIon AnD AnAlYsIs VSOE is based upon the normal pricing and discounting practices for those products and services when sold separately. Teradata uses the stated renewal rate approach in establishing VSOE for maintenance and subscriptions (collectively referred to as postcontract customer support “PCS”). Under this approach, the Company assesses whether the contractually stated renewal rates are substantive and consistent with the Company’s normal pricing practices. Renewal rates greater than the lower level of our targeted pricing ranges are considered to be substantive and, therefore, meet the requirements to support VSOE. In instances where there is not a substantive renewal rate in the arrangement, the Company allocates revenue based upon BESP, using the minimum established pricing targets as supported by the renewal rates for similar customers utilizing the bell-curve method. Teradata also offers consulting and installation-related services to its customers, which are considered non-software deliverables if they relate to the nodes. These services are rarely considered essential to the functionality of the data warehouse solution deliverable and there is never software customization of the proprietary database software. VSOE for consulting services is based on the hourly rates for standalone consulting services projects by geographic region and are indicative of the Company’s customary pricing practices. Pricing in each market is structured to obtain a reasonable margin based on input costs. In nearly all multiple-deliverable arrangements, the Company is unable to establish VSOE for all deliverables in the arrangement. This is due to infrequently selling each deliverable separately (such is the case with our nodes), not pricing products or services within a narrow range, or only having limited sales history. When VSOE cannot be established, attempts are made to establish TPE of the selling price for each deliverable. TPE is determined based on competitor prices for similar deliverables when sold separately. However, Teradata’s offerings contain significant differentiation such that the comparable pricing of products with similar functionality cannot be obtained. This is because Teradata’s products contain a significant amount of proprietary technology and its solutions offer substantially different features and functionality than other available products. As Teradata’s products are significantly different from those of its competitors, the Company is unable to establish TPE for the vast majority of its products. When the Company is unable to establish selling price using VSOE or TPE, the Company uses BESP in its allocation of arrangement consideration. The objective of BESP is to determine the price at which the Company would transact a sale if the product or service was sold on a standalone basis. The Company determines BESP for a product or service by considering multiple factors including, but not limited to, geographies, market conditions, product life cycles, competitive landscape, internal costs, gross margin objectives, purchase volumes and pricing practices. The primary consideration in developing BESP for the Company’s nodes is the bell-curve method based on historical transactions. The BESP analysis is at the geography level in order to align it with the way in which the Company goes to market and establishes pricing for its products. The Company has established discount ranges off of published list prices for different geographies based on strategy and maturity of Teradata’s presence in the respective geography. There are distinctions in each geography and product group which support the use of geographies and markets for the determination of BESP. For example, the Company’s U.S. market is relatively mature and most of the large transactions are captured in this market, whereas EMEA and APJ are less mature markets with generally smaller deal size. Additionally, the prices and margins for the Company’s products vary by geography and by product class. BESP is analyzed on a quarterly basis using a rolling previous 4-quarters of data, which the Company believes best reflects most recent pricing practices in a changing marketplace. The Company reviews VSOE, TPE and its determination of BESP on a periodic basis and updates it, when appropriate, to ensure that the practices employed reflect the Company’s recent pricing experience. The Company maintains internal controls over the establishment and updates of these estimates, which includes review and approval by the Company’s management. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 there was no material impact to revenue resulting from changes in VSOE, TPE or BESP, nor does the Company expect a material impact from such changes in the near term. Additionally, the adoption of the amended revenue recognition guidelines had no material net impact on the Company’s results of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011. 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 deliverables of the arrangement, and in determining the relative selling price of each deliverable, considering the price charged for each product when sold on a standalone basis, and applicable renewal rates for services. Changes in judgments about these factors could impact the timing and amount of revenue recognized between periods. MAnAGeMent’s DIsCussIon AnD AnAlYsIs › › › 11 › › › teRADAtA 2011 Term licenses, hosting arrangements and software-as-a-service (“SaaS”). As a result of the Company’s acquisition of Aprimo, Inc. (“Aprimo”) on January 21, 2011 (see “Note 12—Business Combinations” in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), Teradata’s application offerings were expanded to include, term licenses, hosting arrangements and SaaS. Teradata previously offered its software applications primarily through a perpetual licensing arrangement. In cases where the contract requires the software to be hosted by the Company and provided via an on-demand arrangement, the software is considered a subscription. If the license is of limited life and does not require the Company to host the software for the customer, the software is considered a term license. In both types of these arrangements, revenues are recognized over the term of the agreement. For hosting arrangements where customers have the right to take possession of the Company’s software at any time during the hosting period, the customer’s rights to the software in these circumstances are not dependent on additional software payments or significant penalties. Accounting for arrangements prior to January 1, 2011. For transactions entered into prior to January 1, 2011, the Company allocates revenue for multiple deliverable arrangements for which VSOE exists for undelivered elements but not for the delivered elements, using the “residual method”. Teradata does not typically have VSOE for its hardware and software products. Therefore, in a substantial majority of Teradata arrangements entered into prior to January 1, 2011, the residual method is used to allocate the arrangement consideration. Under the residual method, the VSOE of the undelivered elements is deferred and accounted for under the applicable revenue recognition guidance, and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is allocated to the delivered elements and is recognized as revenue. For arrangements in which VSOE does not exist for each undelivered element, revenue for the entire arrangement is deferred and not recognized until delivery of all the elements without VSOE has occurred, unless the only undelivered element is PCS in which case the entire contract is recognized ratably over the PCS period. Contract accounting. If an arrangement involves significant production, modification or customization of the application software or the undelivered services are essential to the functionality of the delivered software then the Company uses the percentage-of-completion or completed-contract method of accounting. The percentage-of-completion method is used when estimates of costs to complete and extent of progress toward completion are reasonably dependable. The Company typically uses labor hours or costs incurred to date as a percentage of the total estimated labor hours or costs to fulfill the contract as the most reliable and meaningful measure that is available for determining a project’s progress toward completion. In circumstances when reasonable and reliable cost estimates for a project cannot be made, the completed-contract method is used whereas no revenue is recognized until the project is complete. When total cost estimates exceed revenues, the Company accrues the estimated losses immediately. For purposes of allocation of the arrangement consideration, any products for which the services are not essential are separated utilizing the relative selling price method discussed above. PCS is also separated and allocated based on VSOE and then recognized ratably over the term. The remaining contract value, which typically includes application software and essential services, is then recognized utilizing the percentage-of-completion or completed-contract methods discussed above. Capitalized Software Under GAAP, costs incurred internally in researching and developing a computer software product should be charged to expense until technological feasibility has been established. Technological feasibility is established when planning, designing and initial coding activities that are necessary to establish the product can be produced to meet its design specifications are complete. In the absence of a detailed program design, a working model is used to establish technological feasibility. Once technological feasibility is established, all development 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 In accounting for income taxes, we recognize 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 2011 › › › 12 › › › MAnAGeMent’s DIsCussIon AnD AnAlYsIs The Company’s intention is to permanently reinvest its foreign earnings outside of the United States. As a result, the effective tax rates are largely based upon the forecasted pre-tax earnings mix and allocation of certain expenses in various taxing jurisdictions where the Company conducts its business. These jurisdictions apply a broad range of statutory income tax rates; the U.S. statutory corporate income tax rate is currently 35% as compared to the overall statutory effective tax rate of our various foreign jurisdictions of approximately 14.5%. As of December 31, 2011, the Company has not provided for federal income taxes on earnings of approximately $728 million from its foreign subsidiaries. We account 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. Under GAAP, 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. We record any interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the income tax expense line on our Consolidated Statements of Income. As of December 31, 2011, the Company has a total of $28 million of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $12 million is included in the “Other liabilities” section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The remaining balance of $16 million of unrecognized tax benefits relates to certain tax attributes acquired by the Company in the acquisitions of Aprimo and Aster Data in 2011, which are netted against the underlying deferred tax assets recorded on the opening balance sheets for purchase accounting. For further information related to the Company’s acquisitions, see “Note 12—Business Combinations” in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements elsewhere in this Annual Report. 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. We had $39 million and $89 million of net deferred tax assets, and no material valuation allowances as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Share-based Compensation We 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 subjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected term. Further, 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 issue performance-based awards that vest only if specific performance conditions are satisfied. 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. The cost of these awards is expensed over the performance period based upon management’s estimate and analysis of the probability of meeting 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. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets The company reviews goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. The guidance on goodwill impairment requires the company to perform a two-step impairment test. In the first step, the company compares the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. The company determines the fair value of its reporting units based on the income approach. Under the income approach, the company calculates the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that unit, goodwill is not impaired. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the second step of the impairment test is performed in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then the company records an impairment loss equal to the difference. MAnAGeMent’s DIsCussIon AnD AnAlYsIs › › › 13 › › › teRADAtA 2011 Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions include revenue growth rates and operating margins used to calculate projected future cash flows, discount rates and future economic and market conditions. The company’s estimates are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. These valuations require the use of management’s assumptions, which would not reflect unanticipated events and circumstances that may occur. Additionally, the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations requires the company to estimate the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree to properly allocate purchase price consideration between assets that are depreciated and amortized from goodwill. Impairment testing for assets, other than goodwill, requires the allocation of cash flows to those assets or group of assets and if required, an estimate of fair value for the assets or group of assets. The company’s estimates are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. These valuations require the use of management’s assumptions, which would not reflect unanticipated events and circumstances that may occur. The annual goodwill impairment analysis, which the company performed during the fourth quarter of 2011, did not result in an impairment charge. There were also no impairment charges recognized in 2011 as a result of assessments of intangible assets acquired as a result of business combinations (or otherwise purchased from other companies). As of December 31, 2011, Teradata had $742 million in goodwill and $163 million in acquired intangible assets on its consolidated balance sheet. Pension and Postemployment Benefits 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 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, 2011, a one-half percent increase/decrease in the discount rate would change the projected benefit obligation of our pension plans by approximately $3 million, and a one/half percent increase/decrease in our involuntary turnover assumption would change our postemployment benefit obligation by approximately $11 million.

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 Australian dollar, the Canadian 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, 2011, for such contracts resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in all foreign currency exchange rates is approximately $2 million. This loss would be mitigated by corresponding gains on the underlying exposures.

presentation and significant Accounting policies Description of the Business. Teradata Corporation (“Teradata” or “the Company”) provides analytic data 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. Basis of Presentation. The financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates and judgments, including those related to allowances for doubtful accounts, the valuation of inventory to net realizable value, share-based compensation and income taxes and any changes will be accounted for on a prospective basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue Recognition. Teradata’s solution offerings typically include software, software subscriptions (unspecified when- and-if-available upgrades), hardware, maintenance support services, and other consulting, implementation and installation- related (“consulting”) services. Teradata records revenue when it is realized, or realizable, and earned. Teradata considers these requirements met when: • Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists • The products or services have been delivered to the customer • The sales price is fixed or determinable and free of contingencies or significant uncertainties • 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. The Company assesses whether fees are fixed or determinable at the time of sale. Standard payment terms may vary based on the country in which the agreement is executed, but are generally between 30 and 90 days. Payments that are due within six months are generally deemed to be fixed or determinable based on a successful collection history on such arrangements, and thereby satisfy the required criteria for revenue recognition. 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 (collectively referred to as “resellers”). In assessing whether the sales price to a reseller is fixed or determinable, the Company considers, among other things, past business practices with the reseller, the reseller’s operating history, payment terms, return rights and the financial wherewithal of the reseller. When Teradata determines that the contract fee to a reseller is not fixed or determinable, that transaction is deferred and recognized upon sell-through to the end customer. The Company’s deliverables often involve delivery or performance at different periods of time. Revenue for software is generally recognized upon delivery with the hardware once title and risk of loss have been transferred. 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 contract. Revenue for other consulting, implementation and installation services is recognized as services are provided. In certain instances, acceptance of the product or service is specified by the customer. In such cases, revenue is deferred until the acceptance criteria have been met. Delivery and acceptance generally occur in the same reporting period. The Company’s arrangements generally do not include any customer negotiated provisions for cancellation, termination or refunds that would significantly impact recognized revenue. notes to ConsolIDAteD fInAnCIAl stAteMents › › › 21 › › › teRADAtA 2011 In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended the accounting standards for revenue recognition to remove tangible products containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality from the scope of the industry-specific software revenue recognition guidance. In October 2009, the FASB also amended the accounting standards for multiple deliverable revenue arrangements to: • Provide updated guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables in an arrangement should be separated, and how the consideration should be allocated; • Require an entity to allocate revenue in an arrangement using its best estimate of selling prices (“BESP”) for deliverables if a vendor does not have vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price (“VSOE”) or third-party evidence of selling price (“TPE”); and • Eliminate the use of the residual method and require an entity to allocate revenue using the relative selling price method. The standard is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Teradata adopted these standards on a prospective basis as of the beginning of fiscal 2011 for new and materially modified arrangements originating on or after January 1, 2011. The Company evaluates all deliverables in an arrangement to determine whether they represent separate units of accounting. A deliverable constitutes a separate unit of accounting when it has standalone value, and if the contract includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item, delivery or performance of the undelivered items is considered probable and substantially in the control of Teradata. This new guidance does not generally change the units of accounting for the Company’s revenue transactions. Most of the Company’s products and services qualify as separate units of accounting and are recognized upon meeting the criteria as described above. For multiple deliverable arrangements that contain non-software related deliverables, the Company allocates revenue to each deliverable based upon the relative selling price hierarchy and if software and software-related deliverables are also included in the arrangement, to those deliverables as a group based on the BESP for the group. The selling price for a deliverable is based on its VSOE if available, TPE if VSOE is not available, or BESP if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. The Company then recognizes revenue when the remaining revenue recognition criteria are met for each deliverable. For the software group or arrangements that contain only software and software-related deliverables, the revenue recognition criteria utilizing the residual method remains unchanged as further described below. Teradata’s data warehousing software and hardware products are sold and delivered together in the form of a “Node” of capacity as an integrated technology solution. Because both the database software and hardware platform are necessary to deliver the data warehouse’s essential functionality, the database software and hardware (Node) are excluded from the software rules and considered a non-software related deliverable. Teradata software applications and related support are considered software-related deliverables. Additionally, the amount of revenue allocated to the delivered items utilizing the relative selling price method is limited to the amount that is not contingent upon the delivery of additional items or meeting other specified performance conditions (the non-contingent amount). VSOE is based upon the normal pricing and discounting practices for those products and services when sold separately. Teradata uses the stated renewal rate approach in establishing VSOE for maintenance and subscriptions (collectively referred to as postcontract customer support “PCS”). Under this approach, the Company assesses whether the contractually stated renewal rates are substantive and consistent with the Company’s normal pricing practices. Renewal rates greater than the lower level of our targeted pricing ranges are considered to be substantive and, therefore, meet the requirements to support VSOE. In instances where there is not a substantive renewal rate in the arrangement, the Company allocates revenue based upon BESP, using the minimum established pricing targets as supported by the renewal rates for similar customers utilizing the bell-curve method. Teradata also offers consulting and installation-related services to its customers, which are considered non-software deliverables if they relate to the nodes. These services are rarely considered essential to the functionality of the data warehouse solution deliverable and there is never software customization of the proprietary database software. VSOE for consulting services is based on the hourly rates for standalone consulting services projects by geographic region and are indicative of the Company’s customary pricing practices. Pricing in each market is structured to obtain a reasonable margin based on input costs. teRADAtA 2011 › › › 22 › › › notes to ConsolIDAteD fInAnCIAl stAteMents In nearly all multiple-deliverable arrangements, the Company is unable to establish VSOE for all deliverables in the arrangement. This is due to infrequently selling each deliverable separately (such is the case with our nodes), not pricing products or services within a narrow range, or only having limited sales history. When VSOE cannot be established, attempts are made to establish TPE of the selling price for each deliverable. TPE is determined based on competitor prices for similar deliverables when sold separately. However, Teradata’s offerings contain significant differentiation such that the comparable pricing of products with similar functionality cannot be obtained. This is because Teradata’s products contain a significant amount of proprietary technology and its solutions offer substantially different features and functionality than other available products. As Teradata’s products are significantly different from those of its competitors, the Company is unable to establish TPE for the vast majority of its products. When the Company is unable to establish selling price using VSOE or TPE, the Company uses BESP in its allocation of arrangement consideration. The objective of BESP is to determine the price at which the Company would transact a sale if the product or service was sold on a standalone basis. The Company determines BESP for a product or service by considering multiple factors including, but not limited to, geographies, market conditions, product life cycles, competitive landscape, internal costs, gross margin objectives, purchase volumes and pricing practices. The primary consideration in developing BESP for the Company’s nodes is the bell-curve method based on historical transactions. The BESP analysis is at the geography level in order to align it with the way in which the Company goes to market and establishes pricing for its products. The Company has established discount ranges off of published list prices for different geographies based on strategy and maturity of Teradata’s presence in the respective geography. There are distinctions in each geography and product group which support the use of geographies and markets for the determination of BESP. For example, the Company’s U.S. market is relatively mature and most of the large transactions are captured in this market, whereas EMEA and APJ are less mature markets with generally smaller deal size. Additionally, the prices and margins for the Company’s products vary by geography and by product class. BESP is analyzed on a quarterly basis using a rolling previous 4-quarters of data, which the Company believes best reflects most recent pricing practices in a changing marketplace. The Company reviews VSOE, TPE and its determination of BESP on a periodic basis and updates it, when appropriate, to ensure that the practices employed reflect the Company’s recent pricing experience. The Company maintains internal controls over the establishment and updates of these estimates, which includes review and approval by the Company’s management. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 there was no material impact to revenue resulting from changes in VSOE, TPE or BESP, nor does the Company expect a material impact from such changes in the near term. Additionally, the adoption of the amended revenue recognition guidelines had no material net impact on the Company’s results of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011. Term licenses, hosting arrangements and software-as-a-service (“SaaS”). As a result of the Company’s acquisition of Aprimo, Inc. (“Aprimo”) on January 21, 2011 (see Note 12), Teradata’s application offerings were be expanded to include, term licenses, hosting arrangements and SaaS. Teradata previously offered its software applications primarily through a perpetual licensing arrangement. In cases where the contract requires the software to be hosted by the Company and provided via an on-demand arrangement, the software is considered a subscription. If the license is of limited life and does not require the Company to host the software for the customer, the software is considered a term license. In both types of these arrangements, revenues are recognized over the term of the agreement. For hosting arrangements where customers have the right to take possession of the Company’s software at any time during the hosting period, the customer’s rights to the software in these circumstances are not dependent on additional software payments or significant penalties. Accounting for arrangements prior to January 1, 2011. For transactions entered into prior to January 1, 2011, the Company allocates revenue for multiple deliverable arrangements for which VSOE exists for undelivered elements but not for the delivered elements, using the “residual method”. Teradata does not typically have VSOE for its hardware and software products. Therefore, in a substantial majority of Teradata arrangements entered into prior to January 1, 2011, the residual method is used to allocate the arrangement consideration. Under the residual method, the VSOE of the undelivered elements is deferred and accounted for under the applicable revenue recognition guidance, and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is allocated to the delivered elements and is recognized as revenue. For arrangements in which VSOE does not exist for each undelivered element, revenue for the entire arrangement is deferred and not recognized until delivery of all the elements without VSOE has occurred, unless the only undelivered element is PCS in which case the entire contract is recognized ratably over the PCS period. notes to ConsolIDAteD fInAnCIAl stAteMents › › › 23 › › › teRADAtA 2011 Contract accounting. If an arrangement involves significant production, modification or customization of the application software or the undelivered services are essential to the functionality of the delivered software then the Company uses the percentage-of-completion or completed-contract method of accounting. The percentage-of-completion method is used when estimates of costs to complete and extent of progress toward completion are reasonably dependable. The Company typically uses labor hours or costs incurred to date as a percentage of the total estimated labor hours or costs to fulfill the contract as the most reliable and meaningful measure that is available for determining a project’s progress toward completion. In circumstances when reasonable and reliable cost estimates for a project cannot be made, the completed-contract method is used whereas no revenue is recognized until the project is complete. When total cost estimates exceed revenues, the Company accrues the estimated losses immediately. For purposes of allocation of the arrangement consideration, any products for which the services are not essential are separated utilizing the relative selling price method discussed above. PCS is also separated and allocated based on VSOE and then recognized ratably over the term. The remaining contract value, which typically includes application software and essential services, is then recognized utilizing the percentage-of-completion or completed-contract methods discussed above. Shipping and Handling. Product shipping and handling costs are 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. Long-Lived Assets Property and Equipment. Property 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. Equipment is 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. Total depreciation expense on the Company’s property and equipment for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $33 million, $25 million and $22 million, respectively. 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 three 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. Technological feasibility is established when planning, designing and initial coding activities that are necessary to establish the product can be produced to meet its design specifications. In the absence of a 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 amortizes capitalized software over periods up to four years using the greater of the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for that product or the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product beginning when the product is available for general release. 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: Internal-use Software 2010 2011 2009 External-use Software 2010 2011 2009 In millions Beginning balance at January 1 Capitalized Amortization Ending balance at December 31 $ $ 11 5 (5) 11 $ $ 12 5 (6) 11 $ 11 5 (4) $ 12 $ 105 63 (39) $ 129 $ 90 44 (29) $ 105 $ $ 69 54 (33) 90 teRADAtA 2011 › › › 24 › › › notes to ConsolIDAteD fInAnCIAl stAteMents Valuation of Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets such as property and equipment, acquired intangible assets and internal 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. Goodwill. 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 annually or upon occurrence of an event or change in circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company did not recognize any goodwill impairment charges in 2011, 2010 or 2009. 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 (with the exception of the capitalized software development costs discussed above). Research and development costs primarily include payroll and headcount-related costs, contractor fees, facilities, infrastructure costs, and administrative expenses directly related to research and development support. Pension and Postemployment Benefits. The Company accounts for its pension and postemployment benefit obligations using actuarial models. The measurement of plan obligations was made as of December 31, 2011. 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. The Company recognizes the funded status of its pension and postemployment plan obligations in its consolidated balance sheet and records in other comprehensive income 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. Income tax expense is provided based on income before income taxes in the various jurisdictions in which the Company conducts its business. 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. Teradata recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company records valuation allowances related to its deferred income tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. Share-based Compensation. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of stock options, are 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 term of the options. As of October 2011, the Company’s expected volatility assumption used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model is based on a blend of peer group volatility and Teradata volatility. Prior to that date, because the Company did not have a sufficient trading history as a stand-alone public company, the volatility was purely based on the peer group volatility. The expected term assumption is based on the simplified method under GAAP, which 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. notes to ConsolIDAteD fInAnCIAl stAteMents › › › 25 › › › teRADAtA 2011 Treasury Stock. Shares of the Company’s common stock repurchased through the share repurchase programs is held as treasury stock. Treasury stock is accounted for using the cost method. 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. Refer to Note 5 for share information on the Company’s stock compensation plans. The components of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows: For the year ended December 31 2011 2010 2009 In millions, except earnings per share Net income available for common stockholders Weighted average outstanding shares of common stock Dilutive effect of employee stock options and restricted stock Common stock and common stock equivalents Earnings per share: Basic Diluted $ $ $ 353 168.1 3.8 171.9 2.10 2.05 $ $ $ 301 167.4 3.0 170.4 1.80 1.77 $ $ $ 254 171.9 2.0 173.9 1.48 1.46 No stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011. Options to purchase 0.6 million shares of common stock for 2010 and 1.8 million shares of common stock for 2009 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Recently Issued Accounting pronouncements Goodwill. In September 2011, the FASB issued new guidance regarding the testing of Goodwill for potential impairment. Under the amendments in this update, an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company elected not to early adopt this new guidance. Retirement Benefits. In September 2011, the FASB issued new guidance regarding the disclosure requirements for multiemployer pension plans. The amendments in this update require that employers provide additional separate qualitative and quantitative disclosures for multiemployer pension plans and multiemployer other postretirement benefit plans, to provide users with more detailed information about an employer’s involvement in such plans. Additional disclosures would include details as to the significant multiemployer plans in which an employer participates; the level of an employer’s participation in the significant multiemployer plans; the financial health of the significant multiemployer plans; and the nature of the employer commitments to the plan. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2011. The new guidance is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s disclosure requirements. Comprehensive Income. In June 2011, the FASB issued new guidance regarding the disclosure of comprehensive income. Under the new guidance, an entity will have the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity will be required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This update will eliminate the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. Additionally, entities will be required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income. The amendments in this update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. Portions of this new guidance will be made effective for fiscal years, and interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2011, with amendments applied retrospectively. teRADAtA 2011 › › › 26 › › › notes to ConsolIDAteD fInAnCIAl stAteMents Fair Value Measurements. In May 2011, the FASB issued new guidance regarding the measurement and disclosure of fair value. The amendments in this new guidance generally represent clarifications of existing GAAP, but also include some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements will change. This new guidance will result in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The principles that will be changed as a result of this new guidance primarily relate to: measuring the fair value of financial instruments that are managed within a portfolio, the application of premiums and discounts in a fair value measurement, and some additional disclosures about fair value measurements. This new guidance will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with amendments applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance. note 2: supplemental financial Information At December 31 In millions Accounts receivable Trade Other Accounts receivable, gross Less: allowance for doubtful accounts Total accounts receivable, net Inventories Finished goods Service parts Total inventories Other current assets Current deferred tax assets Other Total other current assets Property and equipment Land Buildings and improvements Machinery and other equipment Property and equipment, gross Less: accumulated depreciation Total property and equipment, net Other current liabilities Sales and value-added taxes Other Total other current liabilities Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax Currency translation adjustments Actuarial losses and prior service costs on employee benefit plans Total accumulated other comprehensive income 2011 2010 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 499 8 507 (13) 494 41 20 61 34 51 85 8 64 230 302 (182) 120 23 67 90 25 (9) 16 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 408 3 411 (9) 402 39 26 65 31 25 56 8 63 213 284 (179) 105 19 51 70 31 (19) 12 notes to ConsolIDAteD fInAnCIAl stAteMents › › › 27 › › › teRADAtA 2011 note 3: Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets The following table identifies the activity relating to goodwill by operating segment: In millions Goodwill Americas EMEA APJ Total goodwill Balance December 31, 2010 Additions Currency Translation Adjustments Balance December 31, 2011 $ $ 85 17 34 136 $ $ 457 107 43 607 $ $ 1 (4) 2 (1) $ 543 120 79 742 $ The change in goodwill for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 was primarily due to the acquisitions of Aprimo and Aster Data Systems, Inc. (“Aster Data”) which were completed during the period. The only change in goodwill for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 was due to an immaterial acquisition consummated during 2010, as well as changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company performed its annual test of goodwill impairment and determined that no impairment to the carrying value of goodwill was necessary, as the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded their respective carrying amounts, including goodwill. Acquired intangible assets were specifically identified when acquired, and are deemed to have finite lives.

For further information regarding the Company’s acquisition of Aster Data, refer to Note 12. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2010 included a $5 million tax benefit associated with the recognition of certain foreign net operating loss carryforwards resulting from an audit settlement in the first quarter of 2010. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2009 included a net tax benefit of a recurring state and local income tax credit that was not recognized in the 2008 income tax rate. The provision for income taxes is based on the pre-tax earnings mix by jurisdiction of Teradata and its subsidiaries under the Company’s current structure. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities included in the balance sheets at December 31 were as follows: In millions Deferred income tax assets Employee pensions and other liabilities Other balance sheet reserves and allowances Deferred revenue Tax loss and credit carryforwards Capitalized research and development Total deferred income tax assets Deferred income tax liabilities Intangibles and capitalized software Property and equipment Other Total deferred income tax liabilities Total net deferred income tax assets 2011 2010 $ $ 47 28 4 71 28 178 109 23 7 139 39 $ 47 24 – 29 45 145 42 10 4 56 $ 89 notes to ConsolIDAteD fInAnCIAl stAteMents › › › 29 › › › teRADAtA 2011 As of December 31, 2011, Teradata had total net operating loss carryforwards in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions of approximately $66 million (tax effected), which begin to expire in 2012. In addition, Teradata has U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards of $8 million, which will begin expiring in 2018, and Research and Development Tax Credit carryforwards of $13 million, which begin to expire in 2014. As of December 31, 2011, the Company has recorded $71 million of these tax attributes on its balance sheet as deferred tax assets; the remaining $16 million of deferred tax assets are associated with certain tax attributes acquired from Aprimo and Aster Data, which do not meet the recognition criteria for uncertain tax positions and therefore are not recorded for financial reporting purposes. The Company’s intention is to permanently reinvest its foreign earnings outside of the United States. As a result, the effective tax rates in the periods presented are largely based upon the pre-tax earnings mix and allocation of certain expenses in various taxing jurisdictions where the Company conducts its business; these jurisdictions apply a broad range of statutory income tax rates. At December 31, 2011 the Company had not provided for federal income taxes on earnings of approximately $728 million from its foreign subsidiaries. Should these earnings be distributed in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to U.S. income taxes and potential withholding taxes in various international jurisdictions. The U.S. taxes would potentially be partially offset by U.S. foreign tax credits. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. tax liability is not practical because of the complexities associated with this hypothetical calculation. 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 Company reflects any interest and penalties recorded in connection with its uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. As of December 31, 2011, the Company’s uncertain tax positions totaled approximately $28 million, of which $12 million is reflected in the “Other liabilities” section of the Company’s balance sheet as a non-current liability. The remaining balance of $16 million of uncertain tax positions relates to certain tax attributes acquired by the Company in the acquisitions of Aprimo and Aster Data in 2011, which are netted against the underlying deferred tax assets recorded on the opening balance sheets under purchase accounting. For further information related to the Company’s acquisitions, refer to Note 12. The entire balance of $28 million in uncertain tax positions would cause a decrease in the effective income tax rate upon recognition. Teradata has recorded $1 million of interest accruals related to its uncertain tax liabilities as of December 31, 2011. Below is a rollforward of the Company’s liability related to uncertain tax positions at December 31: In millions Balance at January 1 Gross increases for prior period tax positions Gross decreases for prior period tax positions Gross increases for current period tax positions Increases from acquired businesses Decreases relating to settlements with taxing authorities Balance at December 31 2011 2010 $ 8 1 – 4 16 (1) $ 28 $ 6 1 (1) 2 – – $ 8 The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal and various state jurisdictions, as well as numerous foreign jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2011, the examination of the Company’s U.S. federal tax returns for the 2007 and 2008 tax years was completed with no changes to the income tax liability as originally reported in those periods, as well as tax examinations in a limited number of foreign jurisdictions with no material tax assessments. As of December 31, 2011, the Company has ongoing tax audits in a limited number of state and foreign jurisdictions; however, no material adjustments have been made in any of these examinations. teRADAtA 2011 › › › 30 › › › notes to ConsolIDAteD fInAnCIAl stAteMents note 5: employee share-based Compensation plans The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31 as follows: In millions Stock options Restricted stock Total stock-based compensation before income taxes Tax benefit Total stock-based compensation, net of tax 2011 2010 2009 $ $ 14 21 35 (13) 22 $ $ 12 14 26 (10) 16 $ $ 11 12 23 (9) 14 As of December 31, 2011, the Company’s primary types of share-based compensation were stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units. Stock Options The Teradata Corporation 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Teradata SIP”), as amended, provides for the grant of several different forms of stock-based compensation, including stock options to purchase shares of Teradata common stock. The Compensation and Human Resource Committee of Teradata’s Board of Directors had discretion to determine the material terms and conditions of option awards under the Teradata SIP, provided that (i) the exercise price must be no less than the fair market value of Teradata common stock (as defined in the Teradata SIP or otherwise determined by the Teradata 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. Option grants generally have a four-year vesting period. A total of 20 million shares were authorized to be issued under the Teradata SIP. New shares of the Company’s common stock are issued as a result of the vesting of restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock option exercises. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the weighted-average fair value of options granted for Teradata equity awards was $6.78, $13.97 and $10.22, respectively. The fair value of each option award on the grant date was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: 2011 2010 2009 Dividend yield Risk-free interest rate Expected volatility Expected term (years) – – – 1.63% 1.88% 2.36% 39.5% 31.4% 31.2% 6.3 6.3 6.3 The expected volatility assumption was based on a blend of peer group volatility and Teradata volatility (see Note 1), and the expected term assumption is determined using the simplified method under GAAP, which 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 an average of the five-year and seven-year U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. notes to ConsolIDAteD fInAnCIAl stAteMents › › › 31 › › › teRADAtA 2011 The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity for the year ended December 31, 2011: Shares in thousands Outstanding at January 1, 2011 Granted Exercised Canceled Forfeited Outstanding at December 31, 2011 Fully vested and expected to vest at December 31, 2011 Exercisable at December 31, 2011 Weighted- Average Exercise Price per Share $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 21.31 50.89 15.82 12.20 23.91 24.71 24.65 19.95 Shares Under Option 8,657 751 (1,035) (38) (53) 8,282 8,239 5,234 Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in millions) 7.2 $ 172 6.8 6.8 5.9 $ $ $ 199 198 149 The total intrinsic value of options exercised was $38 million in 2011, $34 million in 2010 and $22 million in 2009. Cash received by the Company from option exercises under all share-based payment arrangements was $16 million in 2011, $25 million in 2010 and $19 million in 2009. The tax benefit realized from these exercises was $14 million in 2011, $9 million in 2010 and $6 million in 2009. As of December 31, 2011, there was $34 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 2.9 years. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units 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 vesting period. 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 and is subject to restrictions on transferability and risk of forfeiture. For both restricted stock grants and restricted stock units, any potential dividend rights would be subject to the same vesting requirements as the underlying equity award. As a result, such rights are considered a contingent transfer of value and consequently these equity awards are not considered participating securities. 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 and/or service period provided the employee is continuously employed by the Company and applicable performance measures are met. The fair value of each performance- based award is determined on the grant date, based on the Company’s stock price, and assumes that performance targets will be achieved. Over the performance period, the number of shares of stock that will be issued is adjusted upward or downward based upon management’s assessment of the probability of achievement of performance targets. The ultimate number of shares issued and the related compensation cost recognized as expense will be based on a comparison of the final achievement of performance metrics to the specified targets.

The ESPP discount is 5% of the average market price. As a result, this plan is considered non-compensatory under GAAP. Employees may authorize payroll deductions of up to 10% of eligible compensation for common stock purchases. A total of 4 million shares were authorized to be issued under the ESPP, with approximately 3.0 million shares remaining under that authorization at December 31, 2011. The shares of Teradata Common Stock purchased by a participant on an exercise date (the last day of each month), for all purposes, are deemed to have been issued and sold at the close of business on such exercise date. Prior to that time, none of the rights or privileges of a stockholder exists with respect to such shares. Employees purchased approximately 0.2 million shares in 2011, 0.2 million shares in 2010 and 0.3 million shares in 2009, for approximately $9 million, $7 million and $6 million, respectively. note 6: employee benefit plans Pension and Postemployment Plans. Teradata currently sponsors defined benefit pension plans for certain of its international employees. For those international pension plans for which the Company holds asset balances, those assets are primarily invested in common/collective trust funds (which include publicly traded common stocks, corporate and government debt securities, real estate indirect investments, cash or cash equivalents) and insurance contracts. 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.

The company emphasizes long-term expectations in its evaluation of return factors, discounting or ignoring short-term market fluctuations. Expected asset returns are reviewed annually, but generally modified only when asset allocation strategies change or long-term economic trends are identified. The discount rate used to determine year-end 2011 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. notes to ConsolIDAteD fInAnCIAl stAteMents › › › 35 › › › teRADAtA 2011 Plan Assets. The weighted-average asset allocations at December 31, 2011 and 2010, by asset category are as follows: Equity securities Debt securities Insurance (annuity) contracts Real estate Other Total Actual Asset Allocation As of December 31 2010 2011 Target Asset Allocation 39% 33% 11% 5% 12% 100% 41% 38% 10% 5% 6% 100% 39% 37% 11% 3% 10% 100% Fair Value. GAAP has established a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2, defined as significant other observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or quoted prices in less-active markets for identical assets; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for pension assets as of December 31, 2011. Common/collective trust funds (which include money market funds, equity funds, bond funds, real-estate indirect investment, etc): Valued at the net asset value (“NAV”) of shares held by the Plan at year end, as reported to the Plan by the trustee, which represents the fair value of shares held by the Plan. Because the NAV of the shares held in the common/collective trust funds are derived by the value of the underlying investments, which are detailed in the table below, the Company has classified these underlying investments as Level 2 fair value measurements.

Teradata employs a number of investment strategies across its various international pension plans. In some countries, particularly where Teradata does not have a large employee base, the Company may use insurance (annuity) contracts to satisfy its future pension payment obligations, whereby the Company makes pension plan contributions to an insurance company in exchange for which the pension plan benefits will be paid when the members reach a specified retirement age or on earlier exit of members from the plan. In other countries, the Company may employ local asset managers to manage investment portfolios according to the investment policies and guidelines established by the Company, and with consideration to individual plan liability structure and local market environment and risk tolerances. The Company’s investment policies and guidelines primarily emphasize diversification across and within asset classes to maximize long-term returns subject to prudent levels of risk, with the overall objective of enabling the plans to meet their future obligations. 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 diversified across 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. Cash Flows Related to Employee Benefit Plans Cash Contributions. The Company expects to contribute approximately $11 million to the international pension plans and $5 million to postemployment benefit obligations in 2012. Estimated Future Benefit Payments. The Company expects to make the following benefit payments reflecting past and future service from its pension and postemployment plans: In Millions Year 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017-2021 Pension Benefits Postemployment Benefits $ $ $ $ $ $ 8 8 7 8 8 41 $ $ $ $ $ $ 5 5 5 5 4 19 notes to ConsolIDAteD fInAnCIAl stAteMents › › › 37 › › › teRADAtA 2011 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 for the U.S. savings plan was $19 million in 2011, $15 million in 2010 and $15 million in 2009. The expense for international subsidiary savings plans was $14 million in 2011, $11 million in 2010 and $10 million in 2009. note 7: 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 gains and losses from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In an attempt to mitigate the impact of currency fluctuations, the Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge transactional exposures resulting predominantly from foreign currency denominated inter-company receivables and payables. The forward contracts are designated as fair value hedges of specified foreign currency denominated inter-company receivables and payables and generally mature in three months or less. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes, nor does it hold or issue leveraged derivative instruments. By using derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in exchange rates, the Company exposes itself to credit risk. The Company manages exposure to counterparty credit risk by entering into derivative financial instruments with highly rated institutions that can be expected to fully perform under the terms of the applicable contracts. All derivatives are recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value. The fair values of foreign exchange contracts are based on market spot and forward exchange rates and represent estimates of possible value that may not be realized in the future. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments, along with the loss or gain on the hedged asset or liability, are recorded in current period earnings. The notional amounts represent agreed-upon amounts on which calculations of dollars to be exchanged are based, and are an indication of the extent of Teradata’s involvement in such instruments. These notional amounts do not represent amounts exchanged by the parties and, therefore, are not a measure of the instruments. Across its portfolio of contracts, Teradata has both long and short positions relative to the U.S. dollar. As a result, Teradata’s net involvement is less than the total contract notional amount of the Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts. The contract notional amount of the Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts was $102 million ($19 million on a net basis) at December 31, 2011, and $91 million ($51 million on a net basis) at December 31, 2010. The fair value derivative assets and liabilities recorded in other current assets and accrued liabilities at December 31, 2011 and 2010, were not material. Gains and losses from the Company’s fair value hedges (foreign currency forward contracts and related hedged items) were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. Gains and losses from foreign exchange forward contracts are fully recognized each period and reported along with the offsetting gain or loss of the related hedged item, either in cost of products or in other income, depending on the nature of the related hedged item. note 8: 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. The Company is subject to governmental investigations and requests for information from time to time. As previously reported prior to Teradata’s separation from NCR Corporation (“NCR”), 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 has conducted its analysis of such claims focusing on the propriety of certain transactions under federal programs under which Teradata was a contractor. The Company has shared evidence with the Justice Department of questionable conduct that the Company uncovered, has cooperated with the Justice Department in its investigation, and is in settlement discussions with the government to resolve this matter. teRADAtA 2011 › › › 38 › › › notes to ConsolIDAteD fInAnCIAl stAteMents 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, prior to the Company’s separation from NCR, and to whether certain subsequent price reductions were properly passed on to the government. Both NCR and the Company have participated 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. The Company has an accrual of approximately $3 million related to the current best estimate of probable liability relating to these matters. The Company believes the amounts provided in its financial statements are adequate in light of the probable and estimable liabilities. The Company believes that there is not a reasonable possibility that the loss in respect of these contingent matters will materially exceed the liability reflected in the Company’s financial statements, although there can be no assurance that this will in fact be the case. Guarantees and Product Warranties. Guarantees associated with the Company’s business activities are reviewed for appropriateness and impact to the Company’s financial statements. Periodically, the Company’s customers enter into various leasing arrangements coordinated with a leasing company. In some instances, the Company guarantees the leasing company a minimum value at the end of the lease term on the leased equipment. As of December 31, 2011, the maximum future payment obligation of this guaranteed value and the associated liability balance was $2 million. The Company provides its customers a standard manufacturer’s warranty and records, at the time of the sale, a corresponding estimated liability for potential warranty costs. Estimated future obligations due to warranty claims are based upon historical factors such as labor rates, average repair time, travel time, number of service calls and cost of replacement parts. For each consummated sale, the Company recognizes the total customer revenue and records the associated warranty liability using pre- established warranty percentages for that product class. The following table identifies the activity relating to the warranty reserve for the years ended December 31: In millions Warranty reserve liability Beginning balance at January 1 Accruals for warranties issued Settlements (in cash or kind) Balance at end of period 2011 2010 2009 $ $ 6 13 (13) 6 $ $ 5 14 (13) 6 $ $ 6 11 (12) 5 The Company also offers extended and/or enhanced coverage to its customers in the form of maintenance contracts. The Company accounts for these contracts by deferring the related maintenance revenue over the extended and/or enhanced coverage period. Costs associated with maintenance support are expensed as incurred. Amounts associated with these maintenance contracts are not included in the table above. In addition, the Company provides its customers with certain indemnification rights. In general, the Company agrees to indemnify the customer if a third party asserts patent or other infringement on the part of the customer for its use of the Company’s products. The Company has indemnification obligations under its charter and bylaws to its officers and directors, and has entered into indemnification agreements with the officers and directors of its subsidiaries. From time to time, the Company also enters into agreements in connection with its acquisition and divesture activities that include indemnification obligations by the Company. The fair value of these indemnification obligations is not readily determinable due to the conditional nature of the Company’s potential obligations and the specific facts and circumstances involved with each particular agreement, and as such the Company has not recorded a liability in connection with these indemnification arrangements. Historically, payments made by the Company under these types of agreements have not had a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. notes to ConsolIDAteD fInAnCIAl stAteMents › › › 39 › › › teRADAtA 2011 Leases. Teradata conducts certain of its sales and administrative operations using leased facilities, the initial lease terms of which vary in length. Many of the leases contain renewal options and escalation clauses that are not material to the overall lease portfolio. Future minimum operating lease payments and committed subleases under non-cancelable leases as of December 31, 2011, for the following fiscal years were: In millions Operating lease obligations Sublease rentals Total committed operating leases less sublease rentals Total Amounts 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 $ $ 50 (15) 35 $ $ 19 (3) 16 $ $ 13 (3) 10 $ $ 8 (3) 5 $ $ 6 (3) 3 $ $ 4 (3) 1 The Company’s actual rental expense was $23 million, $17 million and $17 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company had no contingent rentals for these periods, but received sublease rental income of $3 million, $4 million and $5 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. 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, 2011 and 2010. The Company is also potentially subject to concentrations of supplier risk. Our hardware components are assembled exclusively by Flextronics Corporation. 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, Teradata 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 and/or Teradata’s operating results. note 9: fair Value Measurements GAAP has established a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2, defined as significant other observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or quoted prices in less-active markets for identical assets; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include money market funds and foreign currency exchange contracts. A portion of the Company’s excess cash reserves are held in money market funds which generate interest income based on the prevailing market rates. Money market funds are included in cash and cash equivalents in the Company’s balance sheet. Money market fund holdings are measured at fair value using quoted market prices and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. When deemed appropriate, the Company minimizes its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates through the use of derivative financial instruments, specifically, forward foreign exchange contracts. The fair value of these contracts are measured at the end of each interim reporting period using observable inputs other than quoted prices, specifically market spot and forward exchange rates. As such, these derivative instruments are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Fair value gains for open contracts are recognized as assets and fair value losses are recognized as liabilities. The fair value derivative assets and liabilities recorded in other current assets and accrued liabilities at December 31, 2011 and 2010, were not material. Any realized gains or losses would be mitigated by corresponding gains or losses on the underlying exposures. teRADAtA 2011 › › › 40 › › › notes to ConsolIDAteD fInAnCIAl stAteMents The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and subject to fair value disclosure requirements at December 31, 2011 were as follows: In millions Assets Money market funds Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) December 31, 2011 $ 471 $ 471 $ – $ – The Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and subject to fair value disclosure requirements at December 31, 2010 were as follows: Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) December 31, 2010 $ 534 $ 534 $ – $ – In millions Assets Money market funds note 10: Debt On October 1, 2007, Teradata entered into a five-year revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”), under which the Company may borrow up to $300 million. The current Credit Facility agreement ends on September 30, 2012, at which point any remaining outstanding borrowings would be due for repayment. The interest rate charged on borrowings pursuant to the Credit Facility can vary depending on the interest rate option the Company chooses to utilize and the Company’s leverage ratio at the time of the borrowing. In the near term, Teradata would anticipate choosing a floating rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The Credit Facility is unsecured and contains certain representations and warranties, conditions, affirmative, negative and financial covenants, and events of default customary for such facilities. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility, leaving $300 million in additional borrowing capacity available under the Credit Facility. On April 5, 2011, Teradata obtained a new senior unsecured $300 million five-year term loan. The term loan is payable in quarterly installments, commencing on June 30, 2012, with all remaining principal due on April 5, 2016. The outstanding principal amount of the term loan agreement bears interest at a floating rate based upon a negotiated base rate or a Eurodollar rate plus in each case a margin based on the leverage ratio of the Company. As of December 31, 2011, the term loan principal outstanding was $300 million, and carried an interest rate of 1.31%.

On January 21, 2011, Teradata completed its acquisition of 100 percent of the stock of Aprimo, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 21, 2010. Aprimo is a global provider of integrated marketing software solutions. Aprimo has been integrated into Teradata’s operations, and the Aprimo organization now supports Teradata’s applications strategy, including development, marketing, sales and services. The purpose of this acquisition was to advance Teradata’s position in integrated marketing management, building on Aprimo’s established and well-positioned business. Aprimo’s operations have been integrated into, and its actual results are reflected in, the Company’s three geographic operating regions. The aggregate consideration payable with respect to all of the outstanding stock and equity interests (including all outstanding warrants, stock options and restricted stock units) of Aprimo in the acquisition was $525 million in cash, subject to potential adjustments for certain of Aprimo’s indemnification obligations under the merger agreement. The purchase price was funded in part by using existing U.S. cash, and in part by drawing-down in full the Company’s Credit Facility. Additionally, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, Teradata recognized approximately $3 million in acquisition-related expenses, which were recorded as General and Administrative expenses. Purchase Price Allocation Pursuant to our business combinations accounting policy, the total purchase price for Aprimo was allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets based upon their fair values as of January 21, 2011 as set forth below.
