Teradata Reports Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results

November 5, 2020 4:05 PM

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Teradata (NYSE: TDC) today announced its third-quarter 2020 financial results.

“Our strong third quarter performance reflects the progress we are making across our business, particularly as customers increasingly adopt Vantage, our cloud data analytics platform. We remain laser focused on our Cloud-First initiatives, while also intensifying our execution and optimizing our business model for the future,” said Steve McMillan, President and CEO, Teradata. “Throughout the global pandemic, it has become abundantly clear that enterprises must adapt with agility and speed to unpredictable situations. To do that, they require real-time data and analytics, and there is no better cloud data analytics platform than Teradata, built for today’s hybrid multi-cloud reality. With strong recurring revenue and free cash flow in the quarter that exceeded expectations, we look forward to continue executing on our strategic priorities and carrying this momentum into the fourth quarter and 2021.”

Third Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights compared to Third Quarter 2019

Cloud-First Initiatives and Realignment Activities

During the quarter, the Company continued to make progress on its Cloud-First initiatives including:

Also, during the quarter, Teradata offered a voluntary separation program (VSP) to certain employees. The cost of the program in the third quarter was $27 million. The Company expects to incur costs related to this program of $5 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Additionally, the Company approved a plan to reduce both its workforce and real estate footprint. Teradata expects that it will incur charges from these actions of approximately $38 million to $48 million which are incremental to the VSP described above. Combined, the cash expenditures from these programs are expected to be approximately $75 million with the majority of the cash expenditures recorded in the fourth quarter of 2020. The Company intends to reallocate some of the future savings from these programs to Cloud-First initiatives.

Guidance

For the fourth quarter of 2020, Teradata expects recurring revenue between $371 million and $373 million.

GAAP loss per share in the fourth quarter of 2020 is expected to be in the range of $(0.26) and $(0.24). GAAP results in the fourth quarter of 2020 will be impacted by the realignment activities described above. Non-GAAP earnings per share, excluding stock-based compensation expense, realignment expenses and other special items, in the fourth quarter is expected to be in the $0.23 to $0.25 range(3).

Earnings Conference Call

A conference call is scheduled today at 2:00 p.m. PT to discuss the Company’s 2020 third-quarter results and provide a business and financial update. Access to the conference call, as well as a replay of the conference call, is available on Teradata’s website at investor.teradata.com.

Supplemental Financial Information

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

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

As described below, the Company believes that free cash flow is a useful non-GAAP measure for investors. Teradata defines free cash flow as cash provided by / used in operating activities, less capital expenditures for property and equipment, and additions to capitalized software. Free cash flow does not have a uniform definition under GAAP and therefore, Teradata’s definition may differ from other companies’ definitions of this measure. Teradata’s management uses free cash flow to assess the financial performance of the Company and believes it is useful for investors because it relates the operating cash flow of the Company to the capital that is spent to continue and improve business operations. In particular, free cash flow indicates the amount of cash generated after capital expenditures for, among other things, investment in the Company’s existing businesses, strategic acquisitions, strengthening the Company’s balance sheet, repurchase of the Company’s stock and repayment of the Company’s debt obligations, if any. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since there may be other nondiscretionary expenditures that are not deducted from the measure. This non-GAAP measure is not meant to be considered in isolation to, as a substitute for, or superior to, results determined in accordance with GAAP, and should be read only in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Teradata reports its results in accordance with GAAP. However, as described below, the Company believes that certain non-GAAP measures such as non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, or EPS, all of which exclude certain items (as well as free cash flow) are useful for investors. Our non-GAAP measures are not meant to be considered in isolation to, as substitutes for, or superior to, results determined in accordance with GAAP, and should be read only in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

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

  1. The Company’s GAAP effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 includes $156 million of discrete tax benefit related to an intra-entity asset transfer of certain of its intellectual property to one of its Irish subsidiaries, which occurred on January 1, 2020. The one-time tax benefit for this intra-entity asset transfer of $157 million was recorded as a deferred tax asset for GAAP reporting purposes in the first quarter of 2020 but was excluded from non-GAAP results. This was offset by $1 million of tax expense related to withholding taxes associated with the same intra-entity transfer recorded in the second quarter of 2020.
  2. The Company’s forecasted full-year 2020 GAAP marginal effective tax rate includes $3 million of tax expense related to tax contingencies pursuant to FIN 48. For GAAP purposes, this is a component of the marginal rate and is recognized as tax benefit or expense based on the Company’s reported GAAP pre-tax income or loss for the quarter. To more accurately reflect the impact of the expense on a quarterly basis for non-GAAP purposes, the $3 million of tax expense is being recognized ratably each quarter instead of being included in the marginal effective rate.
  3. Represents the income tax effect of the pre-tax adjustments to reconcile GAAP to Non-GAAP income based on the applicable jurisdictional statutory tax rate of the underlying item. Including the income tax effect assists investors in understanding the tax provision associated with those adjustments and the effective tax rate related to the underlying business and performance of the Company’s ongoing operations. As a result of these adjustments, the Company’s non-GAAP effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30 was 14.3% for 2020 and 2.7% for 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, the Company’s non-GAAP effective tax rate was 21.8% for 2020 and 19.3% for 2019.
