Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Teradata Corporation reported mixed fourth quarter and full-year 2025 results, highlighting growing cloud momentum alongside softer overall revenue. In the fourth quarter, total revenue rose to $421 million from $409 million, driven by recurring revenue of $367 million versus $351 million. Public cloud annual recurring revenue increased to $701 million from $609 million, while total ARR reached $1.522 billion from $1.474 billion. Profitability improved, with GAAP diluted EPS of $0.38 versus $0.26 and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.74 versus $0.53, supported by higher GAAP and non-GAAP operating margins.

For full-year 2025, total revenue declined to $1.663 billion from $1.750 billion and recurring revenue edged down to $1.445 billion from $1.479 billion, even as cloud ARR grew 15% as reported. GAAP diluted EPS increased to $1.35 from $1.16 and non-GAAP diluted EPS rose to $2.58 from $2.42, reflecting stronger margins and cost discipline. Cash flow from operations was $305 million compared to $303 million, and free cash flow improved to $285 million from $277 million, with $140 million returned via share repurchases.

Looking to 2026, Teradata expects total ARR growth of 2% to 4%, recurring revenue from flat to 2% growth, and total revenue between a 2% decline and flat year-over-year. The company projects GAAP diluted EPS of $1.26 to $1.36 and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $2.55 to $2.65, alongside cash flow from operations of $330 million to $350 million and free cash flow of $310 million to $330 million. First-quarter 2026 guidance calls for recurring revenue growth of 6% to 8%, total revenue growth of 1% to 3%, and GAAP diluted EPS of $0.36 to $0.40 with non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.75 to $0.79.

Insights

Cloud ARR and margins improved, but overall revenue contracted and 2026 guidance is modest.

Teradata shows a clear shift toward higher-value recurring and cloud business. Public cloud ARR rose to $701 million from $609 million, and total ARR reached $1.522 billion, supporting better gross and operating margins and higher GAAP and non-GAAP EPS.

However, full-year 2025 total revenue declined to $1.663 billion from $1.750 billion and recurring revenue eased to $1.445 billion. This suggests legacy and consulting areas remain under pressure even as cloud subscriptions grow, tempering the top-line profile.

For 2026, guidance implies low single-digit ARR growth and flat to slightly negative total revenue, with non-GAAP EPS of $2.55–$2.65. Free cash flow is guided to $310–$330 million, above 2025’s $285 million. Overall, the update is strategically constructive but not thesis-changing, as growth remains modest while profitability and cash generation hold steady.

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

* Total Annual Recurring Revenue ("Total ARR") is defined as the annual contract value for all active and contractually binding term-based contracts at the end of the period, including cloud, recurring AI services, subscriptions, hardware rental, maintenance, and software upgrade rights. The Company believes this is a useful metric to investors as it demonstrates progress toward achieving our strategic objectives as outlined in the Form 10-K and Form 10-Q.

** Public cloud ARR is defined as the annual contract value for all active and contractually binding term-based contracts at the end of a period that are operated in a public cloud environment. The Company believes this is a useful metric to investors as it demonstrates progress toward achieving our strategic objectives as outlined in the Form 10-K and Form 10-Q.




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

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

i.Represents the income tax effect of the pre-tax adjustments to reconcile GAAP to Non-GAAP income based on the applicable jurisdictional statutory tax rate of the underlying item. Including the 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 December 31, 2025, was 22.8% and December 31, 2024, was 17.5%. In addition, for the first quarter and full year 2025, we included a discrete tax adjustment of ($0.06) for the reversal of tax reserves due to the final settlement of an IRS audit in the first quarter of 2025. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the Company’s non-GAAP effective tax rate was 22.4% and December 31, 2024, was 24.0%.

3.As described below, the Company believes that free cash flow is a useful non-GAAP measure for investors. Free cash flow does not have a uniform definition under GAAP in the United States and therefore, Teradata's definition may differ from other companies' definitions of this measure. Teradata defines free cash flow as cash provided by/used in operating activities, less investing activities related to capital expenditures for property and equipment and additions to capitalized software ("total capital expenditures"). 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 which can be used for among other things, investments in the Company's existing businesses, strategic acquisitions, strengthening the Company’s balance sheet, repurchase of Company stock and repay the Company’s debt obligations. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since there may be other non-discretionary expenditures that are not deducted from the measure. This non-GAAP measure should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, cash flows from operating activities under GAAP.
