You should read the following discussion in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes to those 
statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report. This Annual Report contains certain statements that are forward-looking 
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain statements contained in the MD&A are 
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but 
rather are based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections about our industry, business and future 
financial results. Our actual results could differ materially from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements 
due to a number of factors, including those discussed in other sections of this Annual Report.

Teradata is a leading provider of analytic data platforms, marketing and analytic applications, and consulting services. Our 
analytic data platforms are comprised of software, hardware, and related business consulting and support services — for data 
warehousing, active intelligence, big data analytics, and data discovery. Through our Teradata Unified Data Architecture (a 
comprehensive enterprise approach that integrates our analytic data platforms and multiple technologies, including third-
party provided products, into a cohesive data architecture), we help customers access and manage data and extract ever 
greater business value and insight from their data. Our applications are designed to leverage data to: improve organizations’ 
effectiveness in marketing to their customers, determine customer and product profitability, forecast consumer demand, and 
discover new insights. Our consulting services help customers maximize use and leverage the value of their analytic data and 
marketing investments. Our services include a broad range of offerings including consulting, cloud (software as a service), 
hosting, platform management, and related installation services (collectively, “consulting services”) and support services. 

Our analytic data platforms are designed to integrate an organization’s departmental and enterprise-wide data — about 
customers, financials, operations, and more — into a unified and cohesive view of the business. Through active intelligence, we 
extend the use of traditional data warehousing by integrating advanced analytics into enterprise business processes, allowing 
companies to combine the analysis of current and historical data so operations personnel can make decisions at the point of 
contact or service and take action as events occur. Our big data analytic platforms provide data collection and data discovery 
from ever increasing volumes of diverse, multi-structured data. Our range of analytic applications, the Teradata and Teradata 
Aster databases, workload-specific platforms, big data analytics and cloud-based solutions, help customers drive more complete 
and complex analytics to enhance both top- and bottom-line performance and extend their competitive advantage in today’s 
global marketplace. Our marketing applications leverage data to help organizations manage their marketing operations, 
plan and execute campaigns, and communicate with their customers across all channels. The explosion of data has created 
opportunities for our customers to significantly improve their effectiveness in marketing to their customers. Our consulting 
services are an important part of our business, with our consultants offering a combination of proven methodologies, deep 
industry expertise and years of hands-on experience. In addition, our customer services professionals provide a single source of 
support services for our analytic data platforms that allow customers to maximize use and leverage the value of their analytic 
data and marketing investments.

We serve customers across a broad set of industries from around the world, ranging from small departmental and corporate 
implementations to many of the world’s largest analytic data platforms and marketing applications. 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 provide our offerings on-premise or in the cloud (as a service).

Effective January 1, 2013, Teradata combined the management of the Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific and Japan 
regions into a new International region. This larger International region has greater critical mass and leverage of resources 
for deployment of the Company’s integrated marketing management, big data analytics, and data warehouse solutions, and 
also possesses more knowledge depth for our numerous consulting and support services offers. As a result, Teradata now 
manages its business in two geographic regions, which are also the Company’s operating segments: (1) the Americas region

(North America and Latin America); and (2) the International region (Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific and Japan). 
Management evaluates the performance of its segments based on revenue and segment margin. Corporate-related costs are 
fully allocated to the segments, but for management reporting purposes assets are not allocated to the segments. 

In 2011, Teradata completed its acquisitions of Aprimo, Inc. (“Aprimo”), a global provider of integrated marketing management 
software solutions, as well as Aster Data Systems, Inc. (“Aster Data”), a market leader in big data analytics, and the management 
of diverse, multi-structured data. In 2012, Teradata completed the acquisition of eCircle Beteiligungs GmbH (“eCircle”), a 
leading full-service digital marketing provider in Europe. 

2013 fInanCIal oVeRVIeW

As more fully discussed in later sections of this MD&A, the following are the financial highlights for 2013:

•	 Revenue increased 1% in 2013 from 2012, primarily due to increased services revenue offset by lower product revenue, 

due to macro-economic conditions in certain geographical territories throughout the world, extended sales cycles and a 
reduction in large customer orders in the current year. 

•	 Gross margin was 54.7% in 2013, down from 55.9% in 2012, which was largely a result of less favorable revenue mix as 

services revenue increased while product revenue decreased.

•	 Operating income was $532 million in 2013, down from $580 million in 2012. The reduction was driven by lower overall 

gross margins against the prior-year period, as well as an increase in operating expenses, largely due to the addition of more 
sales territories partially offset by decreased variable incentive based compensation.

•	 Net income of $377 million in 2013 decreased from $419 million in 2012. Net income per common (diluted) share was 
$2.27 in 2013 compared to $2.44 in 2012. Net income for 2013 included approximately $35 million in after-tax impacts 
of acquisition-related purchase accounting adjustments, transaction, integration and reorganization expenses, and 
amortization of acquired intangible assets, compared to $41 million of such costs and expenses, in 2012. Additionally, 2013 
net income included a $14 million after-tax net loss on equity investments.

fUTURe TRenDs 

We believe that demand for our analytic data platforms will continue to increase due to the continued growth of data volumes 
and types of data, the scale and complexity of business requirements, and the growing use of new data elements and more 
analytics over time. The adoption by customers of a broader set of analytics including predictive analytics, path analysis, 
network analysis/graph, and many others is driving more applications, usage and capacity. This increased breadth of analytics 
also drives the need for an overall architecture to manage an increasingly complex analytics environment. As a result, we 
expect that Teradata’s leadership in analytic data platforms and Unified Data Architecture positions us well for future growth. 
In addition, we believe that our strong competitive position in integrated marketing management, including our marketing 
operations, campaign management and digital messaging offerings, will contribute to our growth and be increasingly 
synergistic with the Company’s big data analytics business as companies gain competitive advantage through data-driven 
marketing with their customers. 

This growth, however, is not expected to be without its challenges from general economic conditions, competitive pressures, 
alternative technologies and other risks and uncertainties.

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 2014, Teradata is expecting approximately 
one percentage point of adverse impact from currency translation on our reported revenue growth rate and a corresponding 
currency impact on operating income, based on currency rates as of February 7, 2014. 

Since mid-2012, Teradata has seen a change in customers’ buying patterns, particularly in the U.S. market, with respect to large 
capital investments and related services due to a more budget-conscious environment in which such purchases are delayed, 
deferred or modified. While we believe that these macro-economic challenges, and the resulting effect on customer purchases, 
are likely to continue in 2014, customers continue to have a strategic focus and pent up need for analytics business intelligence 
and management of their growing data volumes. As described above, we believe that Teradata’s leading product and service 
offerings position us well to take advantage of market opportunities as economic conditions improve and companies expand 
their investments in these mission-critical analytical technologies. 

Although we did not experience significant changes for the year ended December 31, 2013 due to competitive and/or pricing 
trends for our analytic data platforms, there is some risk that pricing and competitive pressures on our solutions could occur in 
the future, particularly to the extent that cost becomes a top priority in companies and lower cost alternatives are more seriously 
and frequently considered. However, such alternatives generally do not enable companies to perform mission-critical, complex 
business analytic workloads or provide a Unified Data Architecture to address mission-critical analytics, discovery analytics, 
and data management such as those enabled by Teradata’s offerings. We believe that analytics will remain a high priority for 
companies and will continue to drive growth for Teradata’s leading solutions. Moreover, we will 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.

Revenue
Total revenue increased 1% in 2013 compared to 2012. The revenue increase included a 1% adverse impact from foreign 
currency fluctuations. Product revenue decreased 5% in 2013 from 2012, due primarily to macro-economic conditions 
in certain geographical territories throughout the world, extended sales cycles and a reduction in large customer orders. 
Additionally, service revenue in 2013 increased 7% from 2012, with an underlying 9% increase in maintenance services 
revenue, as compared to 2012. Consulting services revenue increased 5% in 2013 compared to 2012.

In 2012, Teradata revenue increased 13% from 2011. The revenue increase included a negative 2% impact from foreign currency 
fluctuations, and approximately 1% increase from acquisitions. Product revenue increased 16% in 2012 from 2011, led by 
growth in the Americas region. Service revenue increased 10% in 2012 from 2011, driven primarily by increases in consulting 
services revenue in the International region, which included revenue from the eCircle acquisition. Overall, consulting revenue 
increased 12% in 2012 from 2011, and maintenance services revenue increased 9% during the same period.

Gross Margin
Gross margin was 54.7% in 2013 down from 55.9% in 2012, as a result of a shift in the product mix. Product gross margin 
decreased to 64.8% in 2013, compared to 67.9% 2012, primarily the result of lower product revenue volume, product mix, and 
higher capitalized software amortization. Service gross margin increased to 46.2% in 2013 compared to 44.6% in 2012, driven 
by higher maintenance revenues and improved consulting margins.

In 2012, gross margin was 55.9% up from 54.7% in 2011, driven primarily by improved product margins in the Americas 
region, as well as the increased proportion of product revenue (as compared to services revenue). Product gross margin 
increased to 67.9% in 2012 from 66.0% in 2011. The improved product margins were driven primarily by improved product 
revenue mix, as well as $13 million less in acquisition-related costs. These improvements were offset in part by $4 million in 
additional amortization of capitalized software development costs. Services gross margin was roughly unchanged, at 44.6% in 
2012 compared to 44.5% in 2011.

Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses, including Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) and Research and Development (“R&D”) 
expenses, totaled $941 million in 2013 compared to $911 million in 2012. SG&A increased by $29 million, and was primarily 
driven by higher selling expense, resulting from our strategic initiative to add sales territories and related headcount, 
which was offset in part by lower variable incentive based compensation expense. R&D expenses increased $1 million and 
included $3 million less in capitalization of software development costs, which were offset by lower variable incentive based 
compensation expense.

In 2012, total operating expenses including SG&A and R&D expenses, totaled $911 million compared to $837 million in 2011. 
The $65 million increase in SG&A expenses was driven by higher selling expense, due primarily to our strategic initiative to 
add sales headcount, in addition to the impact of additional headcount and infrastructure brought on by the acquisition of 
eCircle. The $9 million increase in R&D expenses was primarily due to higher engineering headcount expenses, including new 
engineering headcount from the acquisition of eCircle. These increases were offset in part by $12 million more in capitalization 
of software development cost as compared to the prior-year period, as well as lower incentive-based compensation expenses.

Other (Expense) Income, net
Other expense was $24 million in 2013 compared to $2 million in 2012. The increase in other expense is due to a $22 million 
net loss on equity investments in 2013 arising from an impairment of carrying value, partially offset by a gain on sale.

In 2012, other expense was $2 million compared to $25 million of other income in 2011. Other income in 2011 resulted 
primarily from $28 million in gains on the sales of equity investments. 

Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate was 25.8%, 27.5% and 26.6% for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 
The tax rate for 2013 included a $4 million discrete tax benefit for the 2012 U.S. Federal Research and Development Tax Credit 
(the “R&D tax credit”), that was recognized in January of 2013 when the tax credit was retroactively reinstated. Due to a change 
in tax law enacted in the state of California in the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company established a valuation allowance to 
partially offset its California Research & Development tax credit carryforward deferred tax asset, as the Company expects to 
continue to generate excess California Research & Development tax credits into the foreseeable future. However, the discrete 
tax impact of establishing the valuation allowance was fully offset with a favorable discrete tax impact resulting from a decrease 
in the Company’s effective state tax rate resulting from the California change in tax law, resulting in no material net impact 
to the Company’s overall effective tax rate for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2012. 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. 

We currently estimate our full-year effective tax rate for 2014 to be approximately 26.5%. This estimate takes into consideration, 
among other things, the forecasted earnings mix by jurisdiction for 2014, and assumes that the R&D tax credit, which expired 
as of December 31, 2013, will be retroactively reinstated sometime during 2014. If the credit is not reinstated during 2014, we 
estimate our effective tax rate will be negatively impacted by approximately 60 basis points. 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. 
For additional information, see “Note 4—Income Taxes” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements elsewhere in this 
Annual Report.

Revenue and Gross Margin by Operating Segment
Teradata manages its business in two geographic regions, which are also the Company’s operating segments: the Americas 
and International regions. 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.

Americas: Revenue increased $14 million or 1%, in 2013 from 2012, with an underlying 7% increase in services revenue 
offset in part by a 4% decrease in product revenue. The revenue increase was not materially impacted by foreign currency 
fluctuations. Gross margins were 58.0% for 2013, down from 59.7% in 2012, as higher maintenance services margins and 
improved consulting services margins were more than offset by a greater proportion of services revenue (in relation to product 
revenue), compared to the prior-year period.

In 2012, revenue increased 13% from 2011, led by a 17% increase in product revenue. The revenue increase was not significantly 
impacted by foreign currency fluctuations. Gross margin increased to 59.7% in 2012, from 58.3% in 2011, driven primarily 
by improved product margins and the greater proportion of product revenue (versus services revenue), as compared to the 
prior-year period.

International: Revenue increased $13 million or 1%, in 2013 from 2012, as a 7% increase in services revenue was largely offset 
by a 7% reduction in product revenue. The increase in services revenue was largely driven by revenue from the acquisition 
of eCircle. The revenue increase includes a 3% adverse impact from foreign currency fluctuations. Gross margins decreased 
slightly to 49.7% in 2013, down from 50.1% in 2012, as improved consulting services and maintenance services margins were 
more than offset by a greater proportion of services (in relation to product revenue), compared to the prior-year period. 

In 2012, revenue increased 13% from 2011, led by an 18% increase in consulting services revenue. The increase in consulting 
revenue was largely driven by revenue from the acquisition of eCircle, which was completed in 2012. The revenue increase 
included a negative 5% impact from foreign currency fluctuations. Gross margin increased to 50.1% in 2012, from 49.2% 
in 2011, driven by improvements in both product and services margins, offset in part by a greater proportion of consulting 
services revenue (compared to product revenue), as compared to the prior-year period. 

fInanCIal ConDITIon, lIQUIDITY anD CaPITal ResoURCes

Teradata ended 2013 with $695 million in cash and cash equivalents, a $34 million decrease from the December 31, 2012 
balance, after using approximately $382 million for repurchases of Company common stock, and approximately $36 million for 
acquisitions and investment activities which were completed during the year. Cash provided by operating activities decreased by 
$65 million to $510 million in 2013. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to lower net income 
and timing of working capital transactions.

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

Financing activities and certain other investing activities are not included in our calculation of free cash flow. In 2013, these 
other investing activities primarily consisted of immaterial business acquisitions and investment activities that were closed 
during the year. Other investing activities in 2012 primarily consisted of Teradata’s acquisition of eCircle, as well as other 
smaller investment activities. Other investing activities in 2011 primarily consisted of Teradata’s acquisitions of Aprimo and 
Aster Data as discussed further below. 

Teradata’s financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 primarily consisted of cash outflows for 
share repurchases. 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. The 
Company purchased 7.8 million shares of its common stock at an average price per share of $48.53 in 2013, 4.5 million shares 
at an average price per share of $62.53 in 2012 and 2.5 million shares at an average price per share of $50.78 in 2011. Share 
repurchases were made under two share repurchase programs initially authorized by our Board of Directors in 2008. The 
first program (the “dilution offset program”) authorizes the Company to repurchase Teradata common stock to the extent of 
cash received from the exercise of stock options and the Teradata Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) to offset dilution 
from shares issued pursuant to these plans. On February 6, 2012, the board approved a new $300 million share repurchase 
authorization to replace a prior $300 million authorization under the Company’s second share repurchase program (the 
“general share repurchase program”) that was to expire on February 10, 2012. On December 10, 2012, Teradata announced 
that the board approved an additional $300 million increase in the share repurchase authorization under the Company’s 
general share repurchase program. On October 14, 2013, the board approved an additional $300 million increase in the share 
repurchase authorization. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had $323 million of authorization remaining under the 
general share repurchase program to repurchase outstanding shares of Teradata common stock. Share repurchases made by 
the Company are reported on a trade date basis. Our share repurchase activity depends on factors such as our working capital 
needs, our cash requirements for capital investments, our stock price, and economic and market conditions. Proceeds from the 
ESPP and the exercise of stock options were $28 million in 2013, $55 million in 2012 and $25 million in 2011. These proceeds 
are included in Other Financing Activities, Net in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. 

Our total cash and cash equivalents held outside the United States in various foreign subsidiaries was $615 million as of 
December 31, 2013 and $497 million as of December 31, 2012. The remaining balance held in the United States was $80 million 
as of December 31, 2013 and $232 million as of December 31, 2012. Under current tax laws and regulations, if cash and cash 
equivalents held outside the United States are distributed to the United States in the form of dividends or otherwise, we would 
be subject to additional U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and potential foreign withholding 
taxes. As of December 31, 2013, we have not provided for the U.S. federal tax liability on approximately $1 billion of foreign 
earnings that are considered permanently reinvested outside of the United States.

In June 2012, Teradata entered into a new five-year revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”), under which the 
Company may borrow up to $300 million. The Credit Facility replaces a similar revolving credit agreement in the same 
maximum principal amount entered into by Teradata in 2007. The new Credit Facility expires on June 15, 2017, at which point

any remaining outstanding borrowings would be due for repayment unless extended by agreement of the parties for up to two 
additional one-year periods. 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”). If the facility 
had been fully drawn at December 31, 2013, the spread over the LIBOR would have been 98 basis points (for an interest rate of 
1.324%, assuming a 6 month borrowing term) given Teradata’s leverage ratio at that date. 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, 2013, the Company had no outstanding borrowings from the Credit Facility, 
and was in compliance with all covenants. 

In January 2011, Teradata in connection with the acquisition of Aprimo, funded part of purchase price of this all-cash 
acquisition by drawing down the full $300 million borrowing capacity from the Company’s prior credit facility. The 
$300 million in credit facility borrowings were repaid in full during the second quarter of 2011. 

In April 2011, Teradata in connection with the acquisition of Aster Data, 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, 2013, the term loan principal outstanding was 
$274 million, and carried an interest rate of 1.1875%. 

Management believes current cash, 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 and cash equivalents in 
bank deposits and highly-rated money market funds. 

The Company’s ability to generate positive cash flows from operations is dependent on general economic conditions, 
competitive pressures, and other business and risk factors. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flows from 
operations, or otherwise to comply with the terms of the credit facility and term loan agreement, the Company may be required 
to seek additional financing alternatives.

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, 2013, with projected cash payments in the periods shown:

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, 2013. 
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 telecommunications, and other services. 

Additionally, the Company has $34 million in total uncertain tax positions recorded as noncurrent liabilities on its balance 
sheet as of December 31, 2013. These items are not included in the table of obligations shown above. The settlement period for 
these income tax liabilities cannot be reasonably estimated as the timing and the amount of the payments, if any, will depend

on possible future tax examinations with the various tax authorities; however, it is not expected that any payments will be due 
within the next 12 months.

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 the Notes to 
Consolidated Financial Statements. Postemployment and pension obligations are described in detail in “Note 6—Employee 
Benefit Plans” in the 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, 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 the 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

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. 

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. 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 best estimate of selling price (“BESP”) for the group. The 
selling price for a deliverable is based on its vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price (“VSOE”) if available, third-
party evidence of selling price (“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 is allocated utilizing the residual 
or fair value method. 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 software arrangement fee is allocated to the 
delivered elements and is recognized as revenue. The fair value method is similar to the relative selling price method used for 
non-software deliverables except that the allocation of each deliverable is based on VSOE. For software groups or arrangements 
that contain only software and software-related deliverables in which VSOE does not exist for each deliverable (fair value 
method) or does not exist for each undelivered element (residual method), revenue for the entire software arrangement or group 
is deferred and not recognized until delivery of all elements without VSOE has occurred, unless the only undelivered element is 
postcontract customer support (“PCS”) in which case the entire software arrangement or group is recognized ratably over the 
PCS period.

Teradata’s analytic database 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 analytic database software and hardware platform are necessary to 
deliver the analytic data platform’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 or fair value 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 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 a 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 typically 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 prices 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 the 
International markets are less mature 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 data from the 4 previous quarters, 
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, 2013 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. 

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. 

Perpetual licenses, term licenses, hosting arrangements and software as a service. Teradata’s application offerings include 
perpetual licenses, term licenses, hosting arrangements and software as a service. For software arrangements that include a 
perpetual license, the residual method is typically used because the Company does not have VSOE for its perpetual licenses. 
This is because the perpetual license is never sold standalone. 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. Teradata’s term licenses are typically offered for

application software and include a right-to-use license, PCS and consulting services. The revenue for these arrangements are 
typically recognized ratably over the contract term. The term of these arrangements varies between one and five years and may 
or may not include hosting services. In most arrangements the pricing is bundled to the customer. If the term license is hosted, 
the customer has the right to take possession of the 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, and the customer 
can feasibly run the software on its own hardware or contract with another party to host the software. If these criteria are 
not met, the hosting arrangement is accounted for outside the software rules as a software as a service arrangement. Under a 
software as a service arrangement, the license, PCS and hosting fee are recognized ratably over the term of the contract.

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 
Costs incurred internally in researching and developing a computer software product is 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.

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 12%. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has not provided for federal income 
taxes on earnings of approximately $1 billion 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. 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, 2013, the Company 
has a total of $34 million of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $20 million is included in the “Other liabilities” section of the 
Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The remaining balance of $14 million of unrecognized tax benefits relates to certain

against the underlying deferred tax assets recorded on the balance sheet.

that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. We had $11 million and $9 million recorded in valuation 
allowances as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Due to a change in tax law enacted in the state of California 
in the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company established a valuation allowance to partially offset its California Research & 
Development tax credit carryforward deferred tax asset, as the Company expects to continue to generate excess California 
Research & Development tax credits into the foreseeable future. However, the discrete tax impact of establishing the valuation 
allowance was fully offset with a favorable discrete tax impact resulting from a decrease in the Company’s effective state tax rate 
resulting from the California change in tax law, resulting in no material net impact to the Company’s overall effective tax rate 
for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2012.

Stock-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 pricing models, including the Black-Scholes option pricing model and Monte 
Carlo simulation model, to estimate the fair value of stock-based compensation at the date of grant. These valuation models 
require 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. Teradata reviewed four reporting units in its 2013 goodwill impairment assessment, as each geographic operating 
segment consisted of separate reporting units for data warehouse and application software activities.

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 any excess 
purchase price consideration between net assets and 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 2013, did not result 
in an impairment charge. There were also no impairment charges recognized in 2013 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, 2013, 
Teradata had $946 million in goodwill and $149 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, 2013, a one-half percent increase/decrease in the discount rate would change the 
projected benefit obligation of our pension plans by approximately $6 million, and a one-half percent increase/decrease in our 
involuntary turnover assumption would change our postemployment benefit obligation by approximately $13 million.

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, 2013, 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. For additional information regarding the 
Company’s foreign currency hedging strategy, see “Note 7— Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” in the Notes to 
Consolidated Financial Statements elsewhere in this Annual Report.

ManaGeMenT’s ResPonsIbIlITY foR fInanCIal sTaTeMenTs

We are responsible for the preparation, integrity and objectivity of our consolidated financial statements and other financial 
information presented in this Annual Report. The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in 
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include certain 
amounts based on currently available information and our judgment of current conditions and circumstances.

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

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

ManaGeMenT’s annUal RePoRT on InTeRnal ConTRol oVeR fInanCIal RePoRTInG

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such 
term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Teradata’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to 
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for 
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial 
reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, 
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance 
that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with 
authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or 
timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the 
financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate 
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of Teradata’s internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period 
covered by this report. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring 
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992). Based on our 
assessment and those criteria, management concluded that Teradata’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as 
of December 31, 2013.

Teradata’s independent registered public accounting firm has issued their report on the effectiveness of Teradata’s internal 
control over financial reporting, which appears in this Annual Report.

RePoRT of InDePenDenT ReGIsTeReD PUblIC aCCoUnTInG fIRM

To THe boaRD of DIReCToRs anD sToCKHolDeRs of TeRaDaTa CoRPoRaTIon:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, 
comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of 
Teradata Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and the results of their operations and 
their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles 
generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in 
the index appearing in Item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in 
conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material 
respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal 
Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission 
(COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control 
over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in 
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under item 9A. Our responsibility 
is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based 
on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting 
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance 
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial 
reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal 
control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing 
the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control 
based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the 
circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the 
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures 
that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and 
dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to 
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts 
and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the 
company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or 
disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate 
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

Description of the Business. Teradata Corporation (“Teradata” or “the Company”) is a global leader in analytic data platforms, 
marketing and analytic applications, and consulting services. The Company’s analytic data platforms are comprised of 
software, hardware, and related business 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, impairments, stock-based compensation, pension and other postemployment benefits, 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.

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. 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 best estimate of selling price (“BESP”) for the group. The 
selling price for a deliverable is based on its vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price (“VSOE”) if available, third-
party evidence of selling price (“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 is allocated utilizing the residual 
or fair value method. 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 software arrangement fee is allocated to the 
delivered elements and is recognized as revenue. The fair value method is similar to the relative selling price method used for 
non-software deliverables except that the allocation of each deliverable is based on VSOE. For software groups or arrangements 
that contain only software and software-related deliverables in which VSOE does not exist for each deliverable (fair value 
method) or does not exist for each undelivered element (residual method), revenue for the entire software arrangement or group 
is deferred and not recognized until delivery of all elements without VSOE has occurred, unless the only undelivered element is 
postcontract customer support (“PCS”) in which case the entire software arrangement or group is recognized ratably over the 
PCS period.

Teradata’s analytic database 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 analytic database software and hardware platform are necessary to 
deliver the analytic data platform’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 or fair value 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 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 a 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 typically 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 prices 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 the 
International markets are less mature 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 data from the 4 previous quarters, 
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, 2013 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. 

Perpetual licenses, term licenses, hosting arrangements and software as a service. Teradata’s application offerings include 
perpetual licenses, term licenses, hosting arrangements and software as a service. For software arrangements that include a 
perpetual license, the residual method is typically used because the Company does not have VSOE for its perpetual licenses. 
This is because the perpetual license is never sold standalone. 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. Teradata’s term licenses are typically offered for 
application software and include a right-to-use license, PCS and consulting services. The revenue for these arrangements are 
typically recognized ratably over the contract term. The term of these arrangements varies between one and five years and may 
or may not include hosting services. In most arrangements the pricing is bundled to the customer. If the term license is hosted, 
the customer has the right to take possession of the 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, and the customer 
can feasibly run the software on its own hardware or contract with another party to host the software. If these criteria are 
not met, the hosting arrangement is accounted for outside the software rules as a software as a service arrangement. Under a 
software as a service arrangement, the license, PCS and hosting fee are recognized ratably over the term of the contract.

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. Cost of service parts is determined using the average cost 
method. Finished goods inventory is determined using actual cost.

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 three to twenty 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, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $48 million, $41 million and $33 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 data warehousing 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 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:

Estimated expense is based on capitalized software at December 31, 2013 and does not include any new capitalization for 
future periods.

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 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 2013, 2012 or 2011. 

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 labor-related costs, 
contractor fees, and overhead 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, 2013. 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 daily exchange rates prevailing 
during the period. Adjustments arising from the translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, 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.

Stock-based Compensation. Stock-based payments to employees, including grants of stock options, restricted stock and 
restricted stock units, 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.

Treasury Stock. Shares of the Company’s common stock repurchased through the share repurchase programs are 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:

Options to purchase 0.9 million shares of common stock for 2013 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. No stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the 
twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements 

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance regarding the disclosure of 
comprehensive income. Under the new guidance, entities are required to provide information about the amounts reclassified 
out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, entities are required to present, either on the 
face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated 
other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required to be 
reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required to be reclassified 
in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail 
about those amounts. 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. This new guidance was adopted 
by the Company as of January 1, 2013 and did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results 
of operations or cash flows. The Company included enhanced footnote disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2013 in 
Note 13.

In July 2013, the FASB issued new guidance requiring the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit in a 
particular jurisdiction, or a portion thereof, as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward, 
a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, unless the uncertain tax position is not available to reduce, or would not be used 
to reduce, the NOL or carryforward under the tax law in the same jurisdiction; otherwise, the unrecognized tax benefit should 
be presented as a gross liability and should not be combined with a deferred tax asset. This new guidance is effective for interim 
and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its 
consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. 

Other recently issued accounting pronouncements not effective until after December 31, 2013 are not expected to have a 
material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

The change in goodwill for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 was primarily due to immaterial acquisitions that were 
completed during the period. In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company performed its annual impairment test of goodwill 
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. Teradata reviewed four reporting units in its 2013 goodwill 
impairment assessment, as both geographic operating segments consisted of separate reporting units for data warehouse and 
application software activities.

Acquired intangible assets were specifically identified when acquired, and are deemed to have finite lives. The gross carrying 
amount and accumulated amortization for Teradata’s acquired intangible assets were as follows:

The gross carrying amount of acquired intangible assets was reduced by certain intangible assets previously acquired that 
became fully amortized and were removed from the balance sheet. This decrease was offset by the addition of newly acquired 
intangible assets associated with immaterial acquisitions in the current year.

The tax rate for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 included a discrete $4 million tax benefit associated with the 
U.S. Federal Research and Development (“R&D) tax credit for 2012, which was retroactively reinstated with the enactment 
of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 in January 2013. There were no material discrete tax items, nor any tax benefits 
associated with the 2012 U.S. Federal R&D Tax credit due to its expiration, reflected in the tax rate for the twelve months ended 
December 31, 2012. The tax rate for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 included a $4 million tax benefit recorded 
in the second quarter of 2011 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. 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.

As of December 31, 2013, Teradata had total net operating loss carryforwards in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions 
of approximately $33 million (tax effected), some of which begin to expire in 2014. In addition, Teradata has Research and 
Development Tax Credit carryforwards of $22 million, some of which begin to expire in 2014. As of December 31, 2013, the 
Company has recorded $41 million (net of a $11 million valuation allowance related to California Research and Development 
tax credits)of these tax attributes on its balance sheet as deferred tax assets; the remaining $14 million of deferred tax assets are 
associated with certain tax attributes which were both generated by the Company and acquired from various acquisitions, 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, 2013 the Company had not provided for federal income taxes on earnings of approximately $1 billion 
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 
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, 2013, the Company’s uncertain tax positions totaled approximately $34 million, of which $20 million is 
reflected in the “Other liabilities” section of the Company’s balance sheet as a non-current liability. The remaining balance of 
$14 million of uncertain tax positions relates to certain tax attributes which were both generated by the Company and acquired 
in various acquisitions, which are netted against the underlying deferred tax assets recorded on the balance sheet. The entire 
balance of $34 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, 2013.

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, 2013, the Company has ongoing tax audits for its U.S. Federal tax filing for tax year 
2011, as well as in a limited number of state and foreign jurisdictions; however, no material adjustments have been proposed or 
made in any of these examinations to date.

The Teradata Corporation 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2007 SIP”), as amended, and the Teradata 2012 Stock Incentive 
Plan (the “2012 SIP”) provide for the grant of several different forms of stock-based compensation. The 2012 SIP was adopted 
and approved by stockholders in April 2012 and no further awards may be made under the 2007 SIP after that time. A total 
of approximately 16.4 million shares were authorized to be issued under the 2012 SIP. New shares of the Company’s common 
stock are issued as a result of the vesting of restricted stock units and stock option exercises, and at the time of grant for 
restricted stock, for awards under both plans.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s primary types of stock-based compensation were stock options, restricted stock, 
restricted stock units and the employee stock purchase program (the “ESPP”).

Stock Options
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 both the 2007 SIP and the 2012 SIP (collectively, 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 both plans) on the 
date of grant, and (ii) the term must be no longer than ten years. Option grants generally have a four-year vesting period.

For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the weighted-average fair value of options granted for Teradata equity 
awards was $18.02, $22.31 and $18.12, 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:

Dividend yield
Risk-free interest rate
Expected volatility
Expected term (years)

2013
–
1.77%
37.6%
6.3

2012
–
0.87%
35.7%
6.3

2011
–
1.63%
39.5%
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.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised was $19 million in 2013, $113 million in 2012 and $38 million in 2011. Cash 
received by the Company from option exercises under all share-based payment arrangements was $9 million in 2013, 
$43 million in 2012 and $16 million in 2011. The tax benefit realized from these exercises was $6 million in 2013, $38 million in 
2012 and $14 million in 2011. As of December 31, 2013, there was $36 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 3.1 years.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
The Teradata SIP provides for the issuance of restricted stock, as well as restricted stock units. These grants 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 four-year period. All performance-based shares 
that are earned in respect of an award 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.

For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the weighted-average fair value of restricted stock units granted for 
Teradata equity awards was $48.24, $60.71 and $45.19, respectively.

The total fair value of shares vested was $30.0 million in 2013, $15 million in 2012 and $11 million in 2011. As of December 31, 
2013, there was $68 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock grants. The unrecognized 
compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 2.4 years.

Approximately 0.3 million shares of the performance awards issued in December of 2012 also included a market-based 
component for certain key executives in connection with a restructuring of the Company’s management team. On March 1, 
2013, these awards were amended to create two separate awards: (i) 70% of the units were allocated to 2016 performance-
based restricted share units (“Special 2016 PBRSUs”); and (ii) 30% of the units were allocated to special long-term strategic 
performance-based restricted share units (“Long-Term Strategic PBRSUs”). This modification resulted in no incremental fair 
value on the date of modification. Consistent with a Type I modification, the original fair value was used to value the awards 
since the stock price and fair value was lower on the date of modification. Each recipient’s opportunity to earn the Special 2016 
PBRSUs is based on the extent to which Teradata achieves certain challenging or “stretch” financial goals through 2016 based 
on a GAAP revenue and a non-GAAP earnings per share targets in 2016. Each recipient’s opportunity to earn the Long-Term 
Strategic PBRSUs generally is based on a subjective assessment of performance over a four-year period ending in 2016 relative to 
a mix of long-term strategic measures with respect to such matters as data warehousing technology and offerings and integrated 
marketing management solutions, among other things, provided that a stretch non-GAAP earnings per share threshold is 
achieved. There was no compensation expense related to the Special 2016 PBRSUs and Long-Term Strategic PBRSUs recorded 
in 2013 based on management’s determination that at December 31, 2013 it was not probable that performance targets for these 
awards would be achievable.

For the Special 2016 PBRSUs, payout in excess of target cannot occur unless the Company achieves certain non-GAAP earnings 
per share and stock price goals. In evaluating the fair value of the Special 2016 PBRSUs, the Company used a Monte Carlo

simulation on the grant date and determined the fair value to be $26.78 per unit for the market component of the award. 
Compensation expense related to the performance portion of the award is valued based on the grant date stock price and is only 
recorded in a period when it is probable that the performance metrics will be met. Compensation expense related to the market 
portion is only recorded when it is probable that the performance metrics will be above target, regardless of the stock price. 
There was no compensation expense related to the market portion of these awards in 2013. The primary assumptions used in 
the valuation of the market component of the awards were as follows:

Expected volatility
Risk-free interest rate

Employee Stock Purchase Program
The Company’s ESPP, effective on October 1, 2007, and as amended effective as of January 1, 2013, provides eligible employees 
of Teradata and its designated subsidiaries an opportunity to purchase the Company’s common stock at a discount to the 
average of the highest and lowest sale prices on the last trading day of each month. As of January 1, 2013, the ESPP discount was 
15% of the average market price and considered compensatory. Prior to 2013, the ESPP discount was 5% of the average market 
price and this plan was considered non-compensatory. 

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 2.4 million shares remaining under that 
authorization at December 31, 2013. 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 0.4 million shares in 2013, 0.2 million shares in 2012 and 0.2 million shares in 2011, for approximately $20 
million, $12 million and $9 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 determines the expected return on assets based on individual plan asset allocations, historical capital market 
returns, and long-run interest rate assumptions, with input from its actuaries, investment managers, and independent 
investment advisors. 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 are generally modified only when 
asset allocation strategies change or long-term economic trends are identified.

The discount rate used to determine year-end 2013 U.S. benefit obligations was derived by matching the plans’ expected future 
cash flows to the corresponding yields from the Citigroup Pension Liability Index. 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.

Fair Value. Fair value measurements are established utilizing a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used 
in measuring fair value. These tiers are more fully described in Note 9. 

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for pension assets as of December 31, 2013.

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. 

Insurance contracts: Valued by discounting the related future benefit payments using a current year-end market discount rate, 
which represents the fair value of the insurance contract. The Company has classified these contracts as Level 3 assets for fair 
value measurement purposes.

The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the pension plan assets at fair value as of December 31, 
2013:

Investment Strategy. 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 $9 million to the international pension plans and $4 
million for postemployment benefit obligations in 2014.

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 
$23 million in 2013, $21 million in 2012 and $19 million in 2011. The expense for international subsidiary savings plans was 
$17 million in 2013, $18 million in 2012 and $14 million in 2011.

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 Sheets at their fair value. The fair values of foreign exchange 
contracts are based on market spot and forward exchange rates and represent estimates of possible value that may not be 
realized in the future. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments, along with the loss or gain on the hedged 
asset or liability, are recorded in current period earnings. 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 $152 million ($24 million on a net 
basis) at December 31, 2013, and $140 million ($53 million on a net basis) at December 31, 2012. The fair value derivative assets 
and liabilities recorded in other current assets and accrued liabilities at December 31, 2013 and 2012, 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, 2013, 2012 and 2011. 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, governmental investigations, 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. 

As previously reported, in January 2013, the Company settled a civil litigation matter related to certain federal government 
contracts entered into prior to Teradata’s separation from NCR Corporation for $3 million, the amount previously accrued, and 
the court dismissed the action at that time.

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, 2013, the maximum future payment obligation of this guaranteed value and the 
associated liability balance was $4 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:

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.

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,

The Company’s actual rental expense was $26 million, $25 million and $23 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 
2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company had no contingent rentals for these periods, but received sublease rental income of 
$3 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.

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, 2013 and 2012.

The Company is also potentially subject to concentrations of supplier risk. Our hardware components are assembled exclusively 
by Flextronics International Ltd. (“Flextronics”). 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

Fair value measurements are established utilizing 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

In June 2012, Teradata entered into a new five-year revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”), under which the 
Company may borrow up to $300 million. The Credit Facility replaces a similar revolving credit agreement in the same 
maximum principal amount entered into by Teradata in 2007. The new Credit Facility expires June 15, 2017, at which point 
any remaining outstanding borrowings would be due for repayment unless extended by agreement of the parties for up to two 
additional one-year periods. 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, 2013, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility, leaving $300 million in 
additional borrowing capacity available. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2013.

In April 2011, Teradata obtained a senior unsecured $300 million five-year term loan. The term loan is payable in quarterly 
installments, commencing in June 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, 2013, the term loan principal outstanding was 
$274 million, and carried an interest rate of 1.1875% and the Company was in compliance with all covenants. Teradata’s term 
loan is recognized on the Company’s balance sheet at its unpaid principal balance, and is not subject to fair value measurement. 
However, given that the loan carries a variable rate, the Company estimates that the unpaid principal balance of the term loan 
would approximate its fair value.

Annual contractual maturities of principal on debt outstanding at December 31, 2013, are as follows:

NOTE 12:  Business Combinations

During 2013, the Company completed immaterial business acquisitions and other equity investment activities, accounted for 
under the cost method.

During 2012, the Company completed the all-cash acquisition of 100 percent of the equity of eCircle, a leading full service 
digital marketing provider in Europe, an immaterial business acquisition and other equity investment activities.

In January 2011, Teradata completed its acquisition of 100 percent of the stock of Aprimo, Inc. (“Aprimo”). Aprimo was a 
global provider of cloud-based integrated marketing management software solutions. The Aprimo organization now supports 
Teradata’s applications strategy, including development, marketing, sales and services.

In April 2011, Teradata completed its acquisition of all remaining equity of Aster Data. Prior to the acquisition Teradata held 
an 11.2% equity interest in Aster Data. Aster Data was a market leader in advanced analytics and the management of diverse, 
multi-structured data. The combination of Teradata and Aster Data technologies enables businesses to perform better analytics 
on large sets of multi-structured data, also known as “big data analytics.”

Other Activity. In 2013, the Company recognized a net loss of $22 million on equity investments arising from an impairment 
of carrying value, partially offset by a gain on sale. In 2011, the Company sold an equity investment and recognized a net 
gain of $17 million on the transaction. In addition, the Company recorded a gain in 2011 for $11 million related to its existing 
equity interest in Aster Data. The gains and losses for these transactions were recorded in other income and (expense) in the 
Consolidated Statements of Income.
