Second Quarter Financial Results Revealed by Teradata

ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 7 — Teradata Corp. reported revenue of $676 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, an increase of 1 percent from $670 million in the second quarter of 2013. Revenue in the second quarter increased 1 percent when compared in constant currency.

Gross margin was 54.9 percent, as reported under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), versus 56.6 percent in the second quarter of 2013. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding stock-based compensation expense and the other special items described in footnote #2, gross margin was 56.1 percent, versus 57.9 percent in the second quarter of 2013.

Teradata reported second quarter net income of $96 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, which compared to net income of $108 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2013. Stock-based compensation expense and other special items reduced Teradata’s second quarter net income by $18 million (or 12 cents of EPS) as reported under GAAP. Excluding stock-based compensation expense and the other special items detailed in footnote #2, non-GAAP net income in the second quarter of 2014 was$114 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, versus $126 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2013.

“We made good progress in several areas of our business in the quarter, and for the first half.  New data warehouse customer wins were the second highest ever recorded for a Q2 and for a first half.  International revenue was up 14 percent in the second quarter, and up 10 percent for the first half,” said Mike Koehler, president and chief executive officer, Teradata Corporation. “We continue to experience strong activity with our Unified Data Architecture, Teradata Aster and big data-related solutions and services, as customers build out their analytical ecosystems.”

Operating Income

Second quarter operating income of $133 million decreased from $147 million reported in the second quarter of 2013. On a non-GAAP basis, operating income was $159 million versus $174 million in the second quarter of 2013. The difference was primarily due to lower margins from increased amortization of previously capitalized software development costs, lower service margins, and higher operating expenses including increased research and development expense.

Cash Flow

During the second quarter of 2014, Teradata generated $138 million of cash from operating activities, which compared to $140 millionin the prior-year period. Teradata generated $113 million of free cash flow (cash from operating activities less capital expenditures and additions to capitalized software) in the second quarter of 2014, versus $102 million in the same period in 2013.

Year to date, Teradata generated $481 million of cash from operating activities, compared to $383 million in the prior-year period. Teradata generated $423 million of free cash flow in the first six months of 2014, a 33 percent increase from $318 million generated in the same period in 2013.

Balance Sheet

Teradata ended the quarter with $934 million in cash, a $12 million increase from March 31, 2014. During the quarter, Teradata purchased approximately 2.5 million shares of its stock for approximately $104 million during the quarter. Year to date, through July 31, Teradata purchased 4.5 million shares for approximately $190 million.

As of June 30, 2014, Teradata had total debt of $263 million outstanding under a term loan. Additionally, Teradata has $300 millionavailable through a pre-arranged credit facility; however, no funds were drawn from the credit facility.

2014 Outlook

Teradata continues to expect full-year 2014 revenue to grow at the lower end of its original 3-7 percent guidance range. Based on currency rates at the end of July 2014, currency translation is not expected to have a meaningful impact on Teradata’s full-year revenue comparison. Teradata also continues to expect 2014 non-GAAP earnings per share (which excludes stock-based compensation expense and other special items) to be at the lower end of the $2.85-$3.00 range.
