Industry and Market Opportunity. As companies face mounting data demands, along with the need to extract value from ~~this~~ data, we believe that our opportunity to grow in the multi-billion dollar data management and analytics market will continue. Industry analysts forecast that ~~the~~this ~~data management and analytics~~ market will grow at a double-digit rate year-over-year for the next few years, and it is expected that the market opportunity will continue to expand with the anticipated rapid and global adoption and enablement of ~~AI/ML.~~agentic ~~We believe that, in addition to companies facing significant ongoing increases in data volumes~~ and ~~proliferation~~generative ~~of data sources, there will also be an increasing expectation that this data be trusted, secured, and democratized~~AI. ~~Furthermore,~~There ~~the~~is ~~agility provided by cloud-based technologies can bring significant benefits, yet also creates complexity, particularly with the~~ increased ~~need that data and analytics ecosystems span multiple environments. These factors all contribute to the increased~~ complexity, cost, and risk to companies associated with managing data analytics and AI/ML environments, as well as the rapidly emerging desire of customers to create and deliver value from agentic and generative AI. This is particularly true for our target market of global enterprise companies, and we believe that these companies require well-integrated solutions that can accommodate significant agility, scale, and speed in an open and connected ecosystem. We ~~are~~focus ~~focused~~ on supporting our customers, ~~whether~~with the platform they ~~are~~require, whether cloud-only, multi-cloud, on-premises, or a hybrid combination. We are helping new and existing customers connect their hybrid environments, migrate to the cloud if desired, expand workloads inacross ~~the~~all ~~cloud,~~deployment ~~connect their hybrid environments~~options, and capture the possibilities provided by enabling AI. We are also focused on growing the adoption of our hybrid platform, enabling AI in the deployment the customer chooses—whether cloud or on-premises— by ~~brining~~bringing additional data and AI/ML capabilities ~~to our on-premises offering~~offerings, increasing software utilization, expanding partnerships with leading companies, and demonstrating our extensive AI capabilities.

•Foundational Excellence: We believe that starting with a strong foundation is critical to our success, including the knowledge platform, price performance, user experience, elasticity, business continuity, and providing a hybrid ecosystem across cloud and on-premises. Teradata delivers high performance, scalability and cost efficiency—whether on-premises or in the cloud.

•Real-world Uses of AI: As agentic AI use has moved onto the global stage, AI endeavors have been more experimentation than production, as expected with any novel technology. However, the drawback is that those projects failed to deliver real value. At Teradata, we are taking a different approach: we start with real-world uses and build platforms that help our customers deliver business outcomes, at scale. We believe that when we can help enterprises lead with AI-driven industry use cases and focus on key AI workloads at scale, they can go beyond experiments and begin to see real return on investment.

•Best AI for Hybrid Environments: Most large enterprises are multi-faceted and already operate in hybrid environments. We believe that Teradata is the best platform for a hybrid environment. Our differentiated capabilities enable our users to work seamlessly across cloud and on-premises with data, compute, models, workbenches, experiences and outcomes.

As we strive to help organizations achieve AI autonomy, we believe enterprise knowledge and data are key to powering business outcomes. Helping enterprises transform to succeed in an agentic and autonomous AI future

We focus on the key buying centers of technology buyers and users, ~~better~~business ~~customer~~leaders, ~~experiences~~as well as analytics buyers and users. We believe Teradata is differentiated in industries with high-data requirements, including Financial Services, Healthcare and ~~improved~~Life ~~productivity~~Sciences, ~~via~~Public Sector, Manufacturing, Retail, Telecommunications, and Travel/Transportation. We believe that these industries provide a good fit for our solutions and services, as these industries typically have the ~~Teradata~~greatest ~~platform~~analytic potential with large and ~~ClearScape~~growing ~~Analytics~~data ~~capabilities~~volumes, tocomplex ~~enable~~data management requirements, large and varied types of users, and operations and customer bases that span global geographies.

~~•enhancing~~Seasonality. Historically, our ~~ClearScape~~new ~~Analytics~~contract ~~roadmap~~bookings and renewals are seasonal, in line with ~~incremental~~customer AIspending ~~capabilities;~~patterns, with lower volume typically in the first quarter and higher volume generally in the fourth quarter of each calendar year. Such seasonality causes our working capital cash flow requirements to vary from quarter to quarter depending on the variability in the volume, timing of invoices and subsequent collection, and mix of platform and services sales. In addition, contract bookings in the third month of each quarter have historically been significantly higher than in the first and second months, with the majority occurring in the last quarter of our fiscal year. In addition, the size and complexity of our sales transactions have resulted in, and we expect will continue to result in, lengthy sales cycles with multiple levels of customer approvals which can also lead to less predictability of the timing of quarterly transactions. These factors, among others as more fully described in Item 1A, Risk Factors, in this Annual Report, make forecasting more difficult and may adversely affect our ability to accurately predict financial results.

AI requires significant high-quality data to create value; as such, integrating and harmonizing data across the organization is crucial. Our hybrid cloud platform is designed to be scalable, secure, highly concurrent, and resilient to help companies solve complex data challenges at scale. We provide a data management solution that enables enterprises to support their data analytics and AI/ML ecosystems, enable consistent data across business units, and grow at scale. Furthermore, we provide enterprise customers with the flexibility to address their data analytics and AI/ML needs, empowering operational, ad-hoc analytics, and mixed workloads, whether in the cloud, on-premises, or in a hybrid combination.

We believe we are differentiated by providing our hybrid cloud analytics and data platform offering across an open and connected ecosystem. Our differentiated approach spans deployments in the top public cloud service provider platforms of AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, as well as private cloud platform instances, on-premises, and hybrid environments.

As customers increasingly grow their data analytics ecosystems, we support customers with a data fabric in QueryGrid that connects all environments, as well as data and workload migration tools and services. We also believe that we offer a competitive and compelling total cost of ownership by building out best-in-class capabilities that are designed to provide an easy experience for ingestion, exploration, development, consumption, and operationalization of data analytics and AI/ML.

Our strategy is further supported by our commitment to be a responsible corporate citizen. We believe it is our responsibility to make a positive impact on and support important issues, such as addressing the responsible use of AI, environmental sustainability, promoting belonging and inclusion, supporting communities where we live and work, protecting data privacy, and acting ethically in everything we do.

Customers. Teradata concentrates our marketing and go-to-market efforts on companies that are seeking to improve business performance and view data analytics and AI/ML as strategic to achieving that objective. We focus on the key buying centers of business leaders, analytics buyers and users, as well as technology buyers and users. Our platform differentiates Teradata in industries with high-data requirements, including Financial Services, Government, Healthcare and Life Sciences, Public Sector, Manufacturing, Retail, Telecommunications, and Travel/Transportation. We believe that these industries provide a good fit for our analytic solutions and services as these industries typically have the greatest analytic potential with large and growing data volumes, complex data management requirements, as well as large and varied types of users. We currently do not have any customer that represents 10% or more of our total revenue.

Seasonality. Historically, our new contract bookings and renewals are seasonal, in line with customer spending patterns, with lower volume typically in the first quarter and higher volume generally in the fourth quarter of each calendar year. Such seasonality causes our working capital cash flow requirements to vary from quarter to quarter depending on the variability in the volume, timing of invoices and subsequent collection, and mix of platform sales.

Furthermore, with our strong partnerships, our R&D team is extending our platform to enable deeper integration with a broader range of solution and service providers.

Our extensive and talented R&D workforce is one of our core strengths. Our R&D team is globally dispersed to take advantage of global engineering talent. On an ongoing basis, this team adds expertise to align with emerging market dynamics, for example, adding AI expertise to accelerate our momentum. We anticipate that we will continue to have significant R&D expenditures, which may include complementary strategic acquisitions, to help support the flow of innovative technologies that position Teradata to lead in autonomous AI and knowledge.

Government Regulation and Compliance. We are subject to diverse and complex global laws and regulations, including those relating to technology, including AI/ML, data privacy, environmental protection, and ESG reporting. Compliance with such laws and regulations has not historically had a material effect on our capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position. For more information on regulations and compliance, see Item 1A. Risk Factors, in this Annual Report.

Intellectual Property and Technology. We own 534 patents in the United States. We are also the exclusive licensee of four additional patents in the United States and counterpart patents in foreign countries. Many of the patents that we own are licensed to others, and we are licensed to use certain patents owned by others. While our portfolio of patents and patent applications in the aggregate is of significant value to our Company, we do not believe that any individual patent is by itself of material importance to our business.

In addition, we own copyrights and trade secrets in our code base that comprises all of the Teradata software offerings, including analytic data platforms and analytic applications and capabilities. Teradata’s software offerings reflect the investment of hundreds of person-years of development work.

The source code versions of our offerings are protected as trade secrets and, in all major markets, as unpublished copyright works. We take great efforts to protect our rights in all software offerings and related intellectual property; however, there can be no assurance that these measures will be successful. The Company owns the Teradata® word and logo trademarks, which are registered in the United States and in many foreign countries, as well as other trade names, service marks, and trademarks.

Sources of Materials. Our hardware components are assembled and configured by Flex Ltd. ("Flex"). Our platform line is designed to leverage the components from manufacturers that we believe are industry leaders. Our data storage devices and memory components utilize industry-standard technologies but are selected and configured to work optimally with our software and hardware platform. Flex also procures a wide variety of components used in the assembly 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 business continuity of supply. Given our strategy to outsource product assembly activities to Flex and to source certain components from single suppliers, a disruption in production at Flex or at a supplier, a global shortage of components, commodity, transportation, and/or inflationary pressures could impact the timing or profitability of customer shipments. In addition, a significant change in the forecasts to any of these preferred suppliers could result in purchase obligations for components that may be in excess of demand. Although we have not experienced issues from inflationary challenges or otherwise, the current inflation environment could present potential supply chain uncertainty~~, and we have implemented programs to mitigate these potential risks~~. For more information, see Item 1A, Risk Factors in this Annual Report.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider each of the following risk factors and all other information set forth in this Annual Report. Based on the information currently known to us, we believe that the following information identifies the most significant risk factors affecting our company in each of these categories of risks. However, the risks and uncertainties our Company faces are not limited to those set forth in the risk factors described below. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also adversely affect our business.

In addition, past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods.

If any of the following risks and uncertainties develops into actual events or occurrences, these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

~~Our~~Failure ~~failure~~ to successfully execute our strategy and ~~achieve~~realize the anticipated benefits of our business transformation, which includes successfully developing, launching, and scaling cloud- and on-premises-based products and product enhancements and/or enabling our data platform to operate effectively in various environments, including ~~cloud,~~R&D ~~hybrid~~investments, ~~and on-premises, or those of our cloud service provider partners, and/or for various uses, including artificial intelligence ("AI") and machine learning ("ML"),~~ could have a material adverse effect on our business~~, brand and reputation, competitive position, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows~~.

We may not successfully develop, launch, scale, ~~coupled~~or ~~with~~operate our offerings as planned, including enabling our platform and offerings to operate effectively across cloud, hybrid, on-premises environments, or within the ~~continued~~environments of our cloud service provider partners. The execution of our ~~business~~strategy and transformation ~~can~~initiatives ~~present~~presents organizational, operational, and ~~infrastructure~~technological challenges, including those related to organizational alignment, technology integration, skilled personnel availability, resource allocation, cost management and internal controls. We may not be able to implement, or execute, ~~and~~all ~~realize~~aspects ~~some~~of orour ~~all~~strategy ofas planned, or realize the anticipated benefits ~~from~~within ~~our~~expected ~~strategy~~timeframes. orEven ~~our~~if ~~business~~certain ~~transformation~~benefits ~~plan~~are onachieved, athere ~~timely~~may ~~basis~~be unforeseen consequences, including operational disruptions, which could occur. ~~Even~~Any ifsuch ~~the~~outcomes ~~anticipated~~could ~~benefits~~have ~~and~~a ~~savings~~material ~~are~~adverse ~~substantially~~effect ~~realized~~on our business, ~~there~~brand ~~may~~and bereputation, ~~unforeseen~~competitive ~~consequences~~position, ~~internal~~financial ~~control~~condition, ~~issues~~results of operations, orgrowth ~~business~~prospects ~~impacts.~~and cash flows.

A core component of our business strategy is to expand and enhance our product offerings, particularly for analytic solutions in cloud and hybrid environments, to include newer market-relevant features, functionality, and cloud-native options, including AI/ML, and to keep pace with price-to-performance gains. In this regard, please see Item 1. Business, for a description of our product offerings and innovations. We expect that we will continue to enhance our cloud, hybrid, on-premises, and AI/ML offerings in the future. Shortened product life cycles ~~due~~driven toby ~~customer~~rapid ~~demands~~technological ~~and~~change, competitive pressures ~~impact the pace at which we must develop~~, ~~introduce,~~ and ~~implement~~evolving ~~new~~customer ~~technology~~expectations asrequire ~~part~~us ofto ~~our~~continuously ~~product~~innovate ~~offerings.~~to ~~This~~keep ~~requires~~pace ~~high-level~~with ~~anticipation~~emerging of customer ~~needs~~use cases and technology trends,. asWe ~~well~~must asinnovate ~~innovation by~~ both ~~our~~internally ~~software developers~~ and ~~the~~in ~~suppliers~~coordination ofwith ~~the~~ third-party ~~software~~technology providers whose components are included in our ~~solutions~~offerings.

Furthermore, as we migrate our customers from on-premises environments to the cloud, upgrade customers’ VantageCloud environments, and expand our customers’ workloads in cloud, hybrid, and on-premises deployments, we may incur unexpected costs or delays. New cloud offerings, migrations, expansions, upgrades, and deployment models that we rollout may not be successful, and we may not be able to develop the necessary business models, infrastructure, and systems to support and scale the business as our business evolves. This includes acquiring, retaining and developing the right people to execute our business strategy in a competitive job market. In addition, market acceptance of new product and service offerings will be dependent in part on our ability to include functionality and usability that address customer requirements, and to optimally price our offerings and services to meet customer demand and cover our costs. Our go-to-market strategies, including for AI/ML, cloud, and hybrid also must adjust to customers’ changing buying preferences, and there can be no assurance that our go-to-market approach will adequately and completely address such preferences.

As part of our business strategy, we continue to dedicate a significant amount of resources to our R&D efforts in order to maintain and advance our competitive position. However, we may not receive significant revenues from 13

If we are unable to successfully execute our strategy, respond to market and technological change, develop, deliver and scale our offerings on a timely and cost-effective basis, maintain our differentiated hybrid capabilities, or achieve competitive margins and growth, our business, brand and reputation, competitive position, financial condition, results of operations, growth prospects, and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

Unanticipated delays or accelerations in our sales cycles makes accurate estimation of our Total Annual Recurring Revenue ("ARR"), Public Cloud ARR, and revenues difficult, and have resulted in, and could in the future result in, significant fluctuations in our quarterly operating results and have impacted, and could in the future impact, our ability to achieve any financial guidance and forecasts that we may provide.

The length of our sales cycle varies depending on several factors over which we may have little or no control, including:

•the size and complexity of a potential transaction;

•whether a sale involves a cloud or hybrid offering;

•the level of competition that we encounter in our selling activities;

•customers’ budgeting and approval process, with increasing involvement of the customer C-suite in transactions given the enterprise-wide strategic value our platform provides, including for AI/ML;

•corporate events impacting our customers, including reorganizations or acquisitions, where personnel we are engaging with who have institutional knowledge and history with us have departed or are otherwise unavailable to us; and

•overall macro-economic conditions.

In addition, our account teams have had difficulty in the past obtaining and assessing information as to whether a transaction is proceeding as planned or whether a longer sales cycle will be required, and such difficulty may continue in the future. Because of a generally long sales cycle, we may expend significant effort over a long period of time in an attempt to obtain an order, but ultimately not complete the sale, or the order ultimately received may be smaller than anticipated. The long sales cycle for our products also makes it difficult to predict the quarter in which sales will occur. Delays in sales have caused, and could in the future cause, significant variability in our results for any particular period and have impacted, and could in the future impact, our ability to achieve any financial guidance and forecasts that we may provide.

We may experience variability in our operating results based on the purchasing behavior of our customers.

Our business has substantially shifted from a traditional, perpetual pricing and revenue model to a subscription-based model in which less revenue is recognized upfront at the time the customer enters into a transaction. The pace and extent to which customers will continue to purchase, consume and renew our offerings on a subscription basis is variable and, therefore, has impacts on our results and operations. We also have flexible pricing options for our cloud customers, including consumption-unit based, "pay as you go" pricing. Under such a pricing model, we generally recognize revenue based on consumption. To the extent that customers opt for such a flexible pricing model, we may not be able to accurately forecast the timing of customer consumption of our offerings. In addition, the needs of our customers have quickly evolved from a cloud-only approach to considering hybrid platforms or remaining on-premises. As a result, our actual results may differ from our projections, particularly for Public Cloud ARR and Total ARR. Furthermore, our on-premises subscription arrangements may provide the customers with the right to cancel our agreement upon certain notice periods, which we may change in the future. Such arrangements may impact the timing of revenue recognition for these customers and result in fluctuations in our quarterly operating results.

As we develop new offerings with enhanced capacity, delivery and performance capabilities, the increased difficulty and complexity associated with producing these offerings may increase the likelihood of reliability, quality, operability, and/or security issues.

From time to time, errors or security flaws are identified in our offerings, which in certain cases can be discovered after the offerings are introduced and delivered to customers. This risk is enhanced when offerings are first introduced, when new versions are released, or if customers choose to either delay or deny an upgrade to the most recent version of our platform. In particular, when we develop offerings with more advanced technology, the production of such offerings involves increased difficulty and complexity and as a result may increase the likelihood of reliability, quality, operability, and/or security issues with such offerings. Our products and services may also fail to perform to the full specifications and expectations of our customers, including as part of transitioning customers to the cloud, in particular those that involve customer and/or third-party dependencies. Additionally, third-party components that we integrate into our solutions can have undetected quality issues that can impact the performance of our offerings. We may not be able to detect or remedy all errors, including those that may be deemed critical by our customers, prior to release or deployment.

Such reliability, quality, operability, and security issues may negatively impact our ability to retain current customers, including due to customer cancellations or non-renewals, as well as our ability to obtain new customers and could expose us to liability, performance and warranty claims, as well as harm our brand and reputation. These and other risks associated with new offerings may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and future performance.

A cybersecurity incident, disruption, or failure of our information systems or those of our third-party providers could adversely impact our reputation, business, and financial results.

Our operations are critically dependent on the security of our computer systems, the computer systems of our key suppliers and third parties, and the information stored in such systems. We face risks from, among other things, natural disasters (such as earthquakes and fires), technological threats (such as cyber-attacks, power outages, and telecommunications failures), and human actions (such as unauthorized access or exploitations, insider actions, phishing schemes, and other events). Increasingly, companies are subject to a wide variety of attacks on their networks on an ongoing basis. Incidences of cyber-attacks and other cybersecurity breaches and incidents have increased and are likely to continue to increase. The occurrence of one or more of these events could result in data loss, system outages, and other interruptions in our operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Despite robust data security measures and skilled computer programmers, nation -state sponsored cyber attackers ~~(including~~and ~~from~~hackers ~~countries~~deploying ~~such as Iran, China, Russia~~ and ~~certain~~advanced ~~Eastern European nations)~~ and ~~hackers~~persistent threats may be able to penetrate our network security or that of our third-party providers and misappropriate or compromise our intellectual property or other confidential information or that of our customers, create system disruptions or cause shutdowns. They may also be able to develop and deploy viruses, worms, and other malicious software programs that attack our systems or products or otherwise exploit security vulnerabilities of our systems or products. In addition, phishing-scheme-perpetrators may be able to lure employees or contractors into providing such perpetrators with information that may enable them to avoid some of our network security controls or those of third-party providers which could result in system disruptions or a loss of confidential and proprietary information.

Table of Contents

While immaterial in impact, we have been subject to actual and threatened cyber-attacks, and there can be no assurance that our defensive measures will be adequate to prevent them in the future. From time to time, we discover vulnerabilities in our software products, and while we routinely perform regular system updates and patches to our various information systems and our products to address such vulnerabilities, we may be unable to timely implement patches and security measures which could result in a cyber-attack. When cyber-attacks occur, we could incur significant liability to our customers whose information was compromised, and our product platform may be perceived as less desirable, which could negatively affect our business and damage our reputation. Further, because we do not control our third-party service providers, or the processing of data by our third-party service providers, we cannot fully ensure the integrity or security of measures they take to protect customer information and prevent data loss. These types of activities will recur and persist, one or more of them may be successful in the future, and one or more of them may have been or will be successful but not detected, prevented, remediated or mitigated by us, and the costs to us to eliminate, detect, prevent, remediate, mitigate or alleviate cyber security or security vulnerabilities could be significant, and our efforts to address these problems may not be successful and could adversely impact our future results of operations. If as a result of these events, the information stored on our or our customers’ systems could be accessed, publicly disclosed, altered, lost or stolen, they can subject us to additional liability and cause us financial harm. In addition, our disclosures concerning security incidents may become the subject of litigation, and cause us, especially in the event of an adverse court ruling, additional financial strain and reputational harm. While we take and will continue to take remediation steps, there is no guarantee that our preventative and mitigation actions with respect to any cybersecurity incident will fully eliminate the risk of a malicious compromise of our, our third-party service providers’ or our customers’ systems.

Additionally, we offer the ability for our employees to choose a remote work location which introduces additional security challenges. The increase in endpoints to manage and reliance on employees to adhere to information security policies and hygiene practices, heightens the vulnerability of our systems to security breaches.

While we maintain insurance coverage for certain liabilities related to cyber-attacks and/or data breaches, such coverage may not adequately cover all costs, expenses, liability and damages that we or our customers may incur as a result of such incidents.

The offering of our cloud- and hybrid-based platforms has increased our exposure to information security risks by increasing our joint responsibility with customers and third-party cloud providers for protecting sensitive information processed through these platforms, preventing any unauthorized access to or use of such platforms, preventing data breaches, and addressing vulnerabilities in customer-managed applications, the failure of which could adversely impact our results of operation, reputation, compliance obligations, and relationships with our customers.

Prior to our transition to offering cloud- and hybrid-based platforms, our customers generally purchased or leased on-premises hardware systems used in connection with our software solutions, which our customers deployed and operated. With respect to these types of customer on-premises solutions, the customer, directly or through its selected services providers, has full control over its data security. While we continue to provide on-premises capabilities for our customers, we also provide cloud- and hybrid-based platforms, which has expanded our information security risk landscape.

Our cloud- and hybrid-based platforms generally require us to deploy or operate solutions for our customers, directly or through the use of third-party services providers, either on-premises at customer-selected data center facilities, or at third-party-hosted data center facilities. As a result, more responsibility for data security has been transferred to us and our third-party service providers due to the data security responsibilities allocated among us, our customers, and third-party providers that are inherent in cloud- and hybrid-based platforms. For example, gaps in security responsibilities can materialize if roles among us, our customers, or third-party providers are not clearly defined or effectively managed and can lead to additional security risks (such as compromised credentials, hijacked accounts, data breaches due to misconfigured cloud storage, inadequate security practices by third-party providers, and vulnerabilities in shared technology). The distributed and multi-tenant nature of our cloud- and hybrid-based platforms can also complicate data governance and compliance. While customers handle application development and deployment within our platform, vulnerabilities stemming from various actions, including unsecure coding practices, data leakage, performance issues, or mismanagement of configurations, can impact the broader platform's integrity and security. Further, we are required to maintain and obtain various global security certifications for our platforms, such as the International Organization for Standardization 27001 ("ISO 27001"), Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard ("PCI"), Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program ("FedRAMP®"), and any delays or failure in maintaining or obtaining such certifications may hinder our competitiveness, particularly in regulated industries, and impact customer confidence.

If unauthorized access to or use of our cloud- or hybrid-based platforms, failure to prevent data breaches, or failure to address vulnerabilities in customer-managed applications occurs, despite robust data security measures and third-party commitments to protect them, our results of operation, reputation, compliance obligations, and relationships with our customers could be adversely impacted. Even the perception of inadequate security, including delays or failure to obtain necessary security certifications such as FedRAMP, may damage our reputation and negatively 16

Our future results depend in part on our relationships with strategic partners, key suppliers, and other third parties.

Our development, marketing, and distribution plans depend in part on our ability to form strategic alliances with third parties that have complementary offerings, software, services, and skills. Our strategic partners include cloud service providers, ~~consultants~~alliance ~~and~~partners, system integrators and consultants, software and technology providers, hardware support service providers, and indirect channel distributors in certain countries. These relationships involve risks, including our partners changing their business focus, entering strategic alliances with other companies, being acquired, including by our competitors, failing to meet regulatory requirements, data privacy or other laws, or performance criteria, improperly using our confidential information, exposing our data and/or customer information through the transfer of data to the cloud or otherwise or through other security breaches, or their market reputation deteriorating. If we fail to maintain or expand our relationships with strategic partners or if we are forced to seek alternative technology or technology for new solutions that may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, our business may be adversely affected.

As part of our strategy, our relationships with public cloud service providers, Amazon Web Services ("AWS"), Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure, ~~can~~could impact our business. Our strategic relationships with these cloud service providers for our cloud offerings on their platforms require significant investments to ensure that our solutions are optimized in these cloud environments. In addition, there are geographies in which we operate that utilize alternative, local cloud-platform service providers where AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure are inaccessible or not available. The cloud service providers maintain relationships with certain of our competitors, and our competitors may in the future establish relationships with additional competing cloud data platform providers. Furthermore, cloud service providers do and may in the future provide platforms that compete with ~~VantageCloud~~our ~~and VantageCloud Lake~~platform. Any of these cloud service providers may decide to modify or terminate our business relationship, change the terms of any agreement or pricing terms that we have with them, or may otherwise enter into preferred relationships with one or more competing cloud data platform providers. If we are unsuccessful in meeting performance requirements or obtaining future returns on these investments, or if we are otherwise unable to maintain adequate relationships with any of these cloud service providers, our financial results may be adversely impacted.

Third-party vendors provide important elements to our solutions; if we do not maintain our relationships with these vendors or if these vendors cease to be going concerns, interruptions in the supply of our offerings may result. There are some components of our solutions that we purchase from single sources due to price, quality, technology or other reasons. For example, we rely on Flex as a key contract manufacturer for certain on-premises hardware offerings. In addition, we buy servers from Dell Technologies Inc., storage disk systems from NetApp, Inc., and graphics processing units ("GPU") from NVIDIA. Some components supplied by third parties may be critical to our solutions, and several of our suppliers may terminate their agreements with us without cause with 180-days' notice. In addition, we rely on certain vendors for hardware support services and parts supply. If we were unable to purchase necessary services, parts, components or offerings from a particular vendor and had to find an alternative supplier, our shipments and deliveries could be delayed. Also, quality issues, commodity, tariffs, transportation, wage, or other inflationary pressures, a disruption in our supply chain or the need to find alternative suppliers could impact the costs and/or timing associated with procuring necessary offerings, components and services. In any case, our operations could be adversely impacted. Similarly, our suppliers’ offerings and services have certain dependencies with respect to their own supply chain networks, and supply and/or inflation issues among our suppliers may also adversely impact our business.

Demand for the offerings and services we sell could decline if we fail to maintain positive brand perception and recognition.

Increases in the cost, or reduced availability, of components used in our product, and/or increases in our other costs of doing business, have, and could continue to, adversely affect our profit margins.

Our cloud offerings are dependent on cloud service providers and require significant investments to ensure that our solutions are optimized in these ~~cloud~~ environments.

We commenced a multi-year initiative to transform and modernize our ERP system, and expect to complete the final go-live phase in the first quarter of 2025. The 1st phase of the system's implementation has been used to support the preparation of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2024. The ERP system is designed to accurately maintain the Company’s financial records, enhance operational functionality, and provide timely information to the Company’s management team related to the operation of the business. The implementation of the new ERP system requires an investment in financial and personnel resources, including substantial expenditures for outside consultants and system expenses in connection with the transformation of our financial and operating processes. While the ERP system is intended to improve and enhance our information management systems, the ongoing implementation and initial use of this new ERP system exposes us to integration complexities and challenges with 18

Challenges with our new enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system could adversely impact our business and operations.

We have undertaken a multi-year initiative to design, implement, and modernize our ERP system, with deployment completed in 2025. Stabilization and optimization efforts remain ongoing and require continued management attention, including financial and personnel resources. Challenges related to system integration, process alignment, or user adoption during this stabilization phase could result in operational disruption, increased costs, or impacts to financial reporting, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Any disruption, including as a result of natural disasters or climate change, at or near any of our facilities or other operations or those of our customers, vendors, data warehouses, distribution channels, and public cloud service providers could adversely affect our business.

Disruptions could occur as a result of supply chain challenges; decreases in work force availability; availability of natural resources ~~availability~~; natural disasters;, including inclement weather, ~~including~~which ascan be exacerbated by global climate change; man-made disasters; or other external events, such as terrorist acts or acts of war, pandemics and/or epidemics, boycotts and sanctions, widespread criminal activities, or protests and/or social unrest, or other events, at, or in proximity to, any of our facilities or those of our customers, vendors, ~~data warehouses,~~ distribution channels, and public cloud service providers. Such events and disruptions could make it difficult or impossible to deliver products and services to our customers or perform critical business functions and could adversely affect our business.

Our headquarters and data ~~center~~lab are located in California, a region with a history of seismic activity, wildfires and an extreme risk of drought, flooding, and vulnerability to future water scarcity. As such, we could experience disruptions as a result of natural disasters and/or extreme weather conditions, including sea-level rise, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, typhoons, drought, and fire, that could impact our business and operations. Such events could pose physical risks to our facilities and data ~~center~~lab, result in power outages and shortages, and/or result in failures of global critical infrastructure, telecommunication and security systems, natural resource availability, such as energy and water sources, employees’ ability to work, availability of supply chain and logistics, and the additional costs to maintain or resume operations such as costs to repair damages to our facilities, equipment, infrastructure, and business relationships, each of which could negatively impact our business and operations. Furthermore, environmental regulations are increasing in their frequency of issuance and applicability to our company, particularly due to our operations in California and the European Union. Such regulations may result in changes in the demand for resources that could adversely impact the availability or cost of goods and services, including natural resources necessary to run our business.

The ~~world economy, including our business, realized significant disruption during the COVID-19 pandemic. The~~ occurrence of future global pandemics and/or regional epidemics may disrupt our business in the future. The extent to which our business may be affected in the future is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted as it would be dependent on factors such the duration and scope of the pandemic; governmental, business, and individuals' actions in response to the pandemic; and the impact on economic activity such as financial market instability.

While we have taken steps intended to enhance our operational resilience, there can be no assurance that these measures will be sufficient to prevent or mitigate the adverse impacts of such events.

Failure to successfully complete reorganization activities in connection with our transformation activities or otherwise could negatively affect our operations.

We have ~~completed~~undertaken, and may continue to undertake, reorganization efforts in connection with our business transformation and webroader ~~may~~cost ~~continue~~optimization toinitiatives ~~complete reorganization activity~~ in furtherance of our strategy. InFrom ~~addition, from~~ time to time, we may wind down certain business activities and/or facilities, cease doing business in certain geographic areas, and/or perform other organizational reorganization projects in an effort to reduce costs and optimize operations. For example, ~~in 2022, we ceased our operations in Russia to comply with sanctions imposed as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and in 2023 we ceased our direct operations in China. In addition,~~ on August 5, 2024, we announced ~~that~~the werealignment ~~had~~of ~~realigned~~ our sales function and ~~had~~the ~~initiated~~initiation of global restructuring and cost reduction actions, toelements ~~optimize~~of ~~operations,~~which ~~reduce~~continued ~~non-revenue~~into ~~generating~~2025. ~~expenses~~Reorganization activities, ~~and~~including ~~drive~~workforce ~~efficiencies~~reductions, ~~for~~leadership ~~long-term~~and ~~growth~~management transitions, and ~~profitability.~~changes ~~Reorganization~~to ~~activities~~organizational structures, involve risks asand ~~they~~ may divert management's attention from our core businesses, increase expenses on a short‑term basis, or reduce revenues, or disrupt execution of our strategy. We may also experience a loss of continuity, loss of accumulated knowledge, or loss of efficiency during such transitional periods, all of which may negatively impact our business, financial condition, operating results, and cash flows.

~~Our business is affected by the global economies in which we operate and the economic climate of the industries we serve.~~19

In addition, decreased or more closely scrutinized spending in our customers’ businesses and in~~ the industries we serve~~, may adversely impact our business~~. Uncertainty about future economic conditions may make it difficult for us to forecast operating results and to make decisions about future investments. In addition, our inability or failure to quickly respond to inflation and the resulting buying behaviors of our customers could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our success in periods of economic uncertainty may also be dependent, in part, on our ability to reduce costs in response to changes in demand, inflation or other activity.

Our business and results of operations are affected by international, national and regional economic conditions. In particular, the IT industry in which we operate is susceptible to significant changes in the strength of the economy and the financial health of companies and governmental entities that make spending commitments for new technologies. Accordingly, adverse global economic, inflationary, recessionary, and market conditions, including in certain economic sectors in which many of our customers operate (such as financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, or government), may adversely impact our business. For example, adverse changes to the economy could impact the timing of purchases by our current and potential customers or the ability of our customers to fulfill their obligations to us. In addition, decreased or more closely scrutinized spending in our customers’ businesses and in the industries we serve, may adversely impact our business. Uncertainty about future economic conditions may make it difficult for us to forecast operating results and to make decisions about future investments. In addition, our inability or failure to quickly respond to inflation and the resulting buying behaviors of our customers could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our success in periods of economic uncertainty may also be dependent, in part, on our ability to reduce costs in response to changes in demand, inflation or other activity.

Generating substantial revenues from our international operations pose several risks.

In ~~2024~~2025, the percentage of our total revenues from outside of the United States was 4950%. We have exposure to more than 30 functional currencies. The risks associated with the geographic scope of our business operations include, among other things the following:

•Cultural, management, and staffing challenges associated with operating in countries around the world, including developing countries;

•Realignment of our international strategy and organization structure;

•The imposition of additional and/or different country laws, governmental controls and regulations;

•The ever-changing macro-economic and geo-political (including local conflicts and wars) environments we operate in;

•Longer payment cycles for sales in certain foreign countries and difficulties in enforcing contracts and collecting accounts receivable;

•Fluctuations in the value of local currencies and foreign currency controls in various jurisdictions where we operate, including Argentina;

•Tariffs or other restrictions on foreign trade or investment;

•Foreign trade policy changes, trade regulations, and/or disputes may adversely affect sales of our solutions and services and may result in longer sales cycles;

•The imposition of sanctions against a country, company, person or entity with whom we do business that would restrict or prohibit our business; and

•Foreign or domestic government activities that favor domestic companies, including those that may require companies to procure goods and services from locally-based suppliers.

Any of these events, among others, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

Our offerings are subject to United States export controls and, when exported from the United States, or re-exported to another country, must be authorized under applicable United States export regulations. Our offerings may also be subject to local country import controls. Changes in our offerings or changes in export or import regulations, including the implementation of adverse tariffs, may create delays in the introduction of our offerings in international markets, prevent our customers with international operations from deploying our offerings throughout their global systems or, in some cases, prevent the export or import of our offerings to certain countries or customers altogether. Any change in export or import regulations or related legislation, shift in approach to the enforcement or scope of existing regulations, change in tariff policy, or change in the countries, persons or technologies targeted by these regulations could result in decreased use of our offerings by, or in our decreased ability to export, import or sell our offerings to, existing or potential customers with international operations.

There is active enforcement and ongoing focus by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and other governmental authorities on the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act of 2010 and similar anti-bribery, anti-corruption laws in other countries. Given the breadth and scope of our international operations, we may not in all cases be able to detect improper or unlawful conduct by our partners, distributors, resellers, customers, and employees, despite our high ethics, governance and compliance standards, which could put the Company at risk regarding possible violations of such laws and could result in various civil or criminal fines, penalties or administrative sanctions, and related costs, which could negatively impact the Company's business, brand, results of operations or financial condition.

operations, we may not in all cases be able to detect improper or unlawful conduct by our partners, distributors, resellers, customers, and employees, despite our high ethics, governance and compliance standards, which could put the Company at risk regarding possible violations of such laws and could result in various civil or criminal fines, penalties or administrative sanctions, and related costs, which could negatively impact the Company's business, brand, results of operations or financial condition.

Inadequate internal control over financial reporting and accounting practices could lead to errors, which could adversely impact our ability to assure timely and accurate financial reporting.

Internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control objectives will be met. These inherent limitations include system errors, the potential for human error and unauthorized actions of employees or contractors, inadequacy of controls, temporary lapses in controls due to shortfalls in transition planning and oversight of resources, internal control failures as a result of the implementation and use of our new ERP system, and other factors. Consequently, such controls may not prevent or detect misstatements in our reported financial results as required under rules of the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") ~~rules~~, which could increase our operating costs or impair our ability to operate our business. Controls may also become inadequate due to changes in circumstances, and it is necessary to replace, upgrade or modify our internal information systems from time to time. In addition, unforeseen risks may arise in connection with financial reporting systems, including with our new ERP system, due to inefficient business processes, business process reengineering projects, or changes in accounting standards.

If management is not successful in maintaining a strong internal control environment, material weaknesses could occur, causing investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information. This could lead to a decline in our stock price, limit our ability to access the capital markets in the future, and require us to incur additional costs to improve our internal control systems and procedures.

Increased scrutiny from governments, investors, rating agencies, customers, and other stakeholders regarding our environmental, social, and governance ("ESG") practices, commitments, goals and performance ~~and our inability to achieve any ESG goals we establish~~ could impose additional costs, expose us to new risks, or negatively impact our reputation.

The ESG regulatory landscape is constantly changing, with regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations continuously evolving. Asacross amultiple ~~result,~~jurisdictions. ~~our~~Our ability to meet program goals and objectives may be challenged by a variety of factors, including the complexity of implementing ESG initiatives across our operations and supply chain, ~~unforeseen~~ economic or operational constraints, ~~and~~ shifts in market dynamics, orand evolving regulatory frameworks and reporting standards.

If we fail, or are perceived to fail, to meet our stakeholders’ and/or raters’ expectations or regulatory requirements, we could be exposed to increased costs associated with compliance or operational changes, risk of litigation, difficulty in attracting and retaining employees, negative investor sentiment, and an adverse impact on our reputation.

•Continued emergence of open-source software that often rivals current technology offerings at a much lower cost, despite its limited functionality;

•Changing competitive requirements and deliverables in developing and emerging markets; and

•Continuing trend toward consolidation of companies, which could adversely affect our ability to compete, including if our key partners merge or partner with our competitors.

Our competitors include established companies within our industry, including ~~Amazon~~AWS, ~~Google~~Databricks, ~~IBM,~~Google ~~Oracle~~Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Snowflake, and ~~SAP~~others, many of which are well-capitalized companies with widespread distribution, brand recognition and ~~penetration~~a ofstrong ~~our~~presence ~~product~~in ~~platforms~~the ~~and~~markets ~~service~~we ~~offerings~~serve. The significant purchasing and market power of these larger competitors, which have greater financial resources than we do, could allow them to surpass our market penetration and marketing efforts to promote and sell their offerings and services. In addition, many other companies participate in specific areas of our business, such as enterprise applications, analytic platforms, ~~and~~ business intelligence software and AI enablement. In some cases, we may partner with a company in one area of our business and compete with them in another. In particular, in delivering our ~~Teradata VantageCloud~~ offerings in a cloud environment to certain of our customers, we partner with ~~each of~~ Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure, which are public cloud service providers. The status of our business relationships with these companies can influence our ability to compete for ~~analytic~~ data analytics and related AI-enabled solutions opportunities in ~~such~~these areas. In addition, we see additional competition from both established and emerging cloud-only data vendors, AI-focused companies, and open-source providers. Failure to compete successfully with new or existing competitors in these and other areas could have a material adverse impact on our ability to generate additional revenues or sustain existing revenue levels.

Current and evolving privacy laws and regulations, cross-border data transfer restrictions and other aspects of data privacy may impact the use and adoption of our solutions and services and adversely affect our business.

Federal, state and foreign governments continue to adopt new, or modify existing, laws and regulations addressing data privacy and the collection, processing, storage, transfer and use of data. Some of these impose new obligations directly on the Company as both a data controller and a data processor, as well as on many of our customers. New laws also require us to evaluate any required changes to our solutions and services on an ongoing basis to enable Teradata and/or our customers to comply with the new legal requirements and may also increase our potential liability through higher potential penalties for non-compliance. Further, ~~laws~~proposed ~~such~~and asevolving ~~the~~ European ~~Union’s~~privacy ~~proposed~~and ~~e-Privacy~~electronic ~~Regulation~~communications regulations are increasingly aimed at the use of personal information for marketing purposes, and the tracking of individuals’ online activities. These new or proposed laws and regulations are also subject to differing interpretations which may be inconsistent among jurisdictions. These and other requirements could reduce demand for our solutions and services, require us to take on more onerous obligations in our contracts, restrict our ability to store, transfer and process data or, in some cases, impact our ability to offer our solutions and services in certain locations or our customers' ability to deploy our solutions globally. For example, existing and developing laws regarding how companies transfer personal data across borders can be unpredictable and subject to legal challenge and could result in further limitations on the ability to transfer data across borders, particularly if governments are unable or unwilling to create new, or maintain existing, mechanisms that support cross-border data transfers. Additionally, certain countries have passed or are considering passing laws requiring local data residency. The costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, privacy laws, regulations and standards may limit the use and adoption of our solutions and services, reduce overall demand for our solutions and services, make it more

developing laws regarding how companies transfer personal data across borders can be unpredictable and subject to legal challenge and could result in further limitations on the ability to transfer data across borders, particularly if governments are unable or unwilling to create new, or maintain existing, mechanisms that support cross-border data transfers. Additionally, certain countries have passed or are considering passing laws requiring local data residency. The costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, privacy laws, regulations and standards may limit the use and adoption of our solutions and services, reduce overall demand for our solutions and services, make it more difficult to meet expectations from or commitments to customers, lead to significant fines, penalties or liabilities for noncompliance, or slow the pace at which we close sales transactions, any of which could harm our business.

In addition to government activity, privacy advocacy and other industry groups establish new self-regulatory standards that may place additional burdens on our ability to provide our solutions and services globally. Our customers expect us to meet voluntary certification and other standards established by third parties, such as related ISO standards. If we are unable to maintain these certifications or meet these standards, it could adversely affect our ability to provide our solutions to certain customers and could harm our business.

Furthermore, concerns regarding data privacy may cause our customers’ customers to resist providing the data necessary to allow our customers to use our solutions and services effectively. Even the perception that the privacy of personal information is not satisfactorily protected or does not meet regulatory requirements could inhibit sales of our offerings or services and could limit adoption of our cloud-based solutions.

RISKS RELATED TO HUMAN CAPITAL

We depend on key employees and face competition in hiring and retaining qualified employees.

Our employees and access to specialized talent are critical to our success. Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to attract, retain, develop, and motivate ~~the services of~~ senior management and other key personnel ~~in all areas of our Company~~, including ~~engineering and development, marketing and sales professionals, and consultants. Competition for highly skilled personnel and acquired talent~~ in ~~the~~product ~~current~~engineering ~~environment, specifically the IT industry is intense.

RISKS RELATED TO LEGAL AND REGULATORY MATTERS

We face uncertainties regarding legal proceedings, complex and changing laws and regulations, and other related matters.

In the normal course of business, we are subject to proceedings, lawsuits, claims and other matters, including those that could relate to the environment, health and safety, employee benefits, export controls and trade compliance, shareholder matters, intellectual property, a variety of local laws and regulations, and other regulatory compliance and general matters. See "Note 10-Commitments and Contingencies" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report. Because such matters are subject to many uncertainties, their outcomes are not predictable. There can be no assurances that the amounts required to satisfy alleged liabilities from such matters will not impact future operating results.

In addition, we are subject to diverse and complex laws and regulations, ~~including those~~ relating to technology, (including AI/ML), corporate governance, ESG reporting, environmental protection, privacy and data ~~privacy~~protection, taxation, public disclosure, and reporting, which are ~~rapidly~~evolving ~~changing~~ and subject to ~~possible changes in the future~~change. From time to time, we may conduct internal investigations to ensure compliance with such laws and regulations, the costs or results of which could impact our financial results. In addition, we may be subject to unexpected costs in connection with new public disclosure or other accounting or regulatory requirements that are issued from time to time. Laws and regulations impacting our customers, such as those relating to privacy, data protection and digital marketing, could also impact our future business. Because we do business in the government sector, we are generally subject to audits and investigations which could result in various civil or criminal fines, penalties or administrative sanctions, including debarment from future government business, which could negatively impact the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

business. Because we do business in the government sector, we are generally subject to audits and investigations which could result in various civil or criminal fines, penalties or administrative sanctions, including debarment from future government business, which could negatively impact the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

Gaps in protection of Teradata’s intellectual property or unlicensed use of third-party intellectual property could impact our business and financial condition.

As a technology company, our intellectual property portfolio is ~~crucial~~critical to supporting our ~~continuing~~knowledge ~~ability~~platform tofor beautonomous aAI ~~leading hybrid cloud data~~ and ~~analytics~~related ~~platform provider for trusted AI~~offerings. We strive to enhance and, as much as is legally and reasonably possible, protect our proprietary intellectual property rights through patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as through technological safeguards and the actions of our people. These efforts include protection of the offerings and application, diagnostic and other software we develop.

Where gaps exist in our intellectual property protection, even if such gaps are reasonable, our business could be materially adversely impacted. We may be unable to prevent third parties from using our technology without our authorization or independently developing technology that is similar to ours, particularly in those countries where the laws do not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States (such as Iran, China and certain Eastern European countries ~~who~~that may use Nation State Sponsored Advanced Persistent Code ("NSSAPC") to advance their own industries). With respect to inventions for which we choose to file patent applications, we may not be successful in securing patents for these claims, and our competitors may already have applied for patents that, once issued, will prevail over our patent rights or otherwise limit our ability to sell our offerings.

While we take steps to provide for confidentiality obligations of employees and third parties with whom we do business (including customers, suppliers and strategic partners), there is a risk that such parties will breach such obligations and jeopardize our intellectual property rights. Many customers have outsourced the administration and management of their data and analytics environments to third parties, including some of our competitors, who then have access to our confidential information. Although we have agreements in place to mitigate this risk, there can be no assurance that such protections will be sufficient. In addition, our ability to capture and re-use field-based developed intellectual property is important to future business opportunities and profits.

We are seeing an extended trend towards aggressive enforcement of intellectual property rights, especially by so-called "patent assertion entities" ("PAEs") or "non-practicing entities" ("NPEs"), as the functionality of offerings in our industry increasingly overlaps and the volume of issued software patents continues to grow. As a result, we have been, and in the future could be, subject to infringement claims which, regardless of their validity, could:

•Be expensive, time consuming, and divert company resources and management attention away from normal business operations;

•Require us to pay monetary damages or enter into non-standard royalty and licensing agreements;

•Require us to modify our product sales and development plans; or

•Require us to satisfy indemnification obligations to our customers.

Regardless of whether these claims have any merit, they can be burdensome to defend or settle and can harm our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations.

As is standard in the IT industry, our offerings are built primarily on our own proprietary technology and leverage third-party proprietary software and open-source components. We employ reasonable practices to secure and ensure compliance with the licenses necessary for our intended use of these third-party components. These practices cannot, however, eliminate the risk that IP-enforcement actions might be taken by purported IP owners who believe we have failed to acquire rights to use the IP or have exceeded the scope of rights granted.

A change in our effective tax rate can have a significant adverse impact on our business.

A number of factors may adversely impact our future effective tax rates, such as:

•The jurisdictions in which our profits are determined to be earned and taxed;

•Changes in corporate tax rates in the jurisdictions in which we operate;

•The resolution of issues arising from tax audits with various tax authorities;

Table of Contents

•Changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities;

•Adjustments to estimated taxes upon finalization of various tax returns; and

•Changes in available tax credits, especially surrounding tax credits in the United States for our research and development activities and foreign tax credits.

Tax rules may change in a manner that adversely affects our future reported results of operations or the way we conduct our business. Further changes in the tax laws could arise as a result of the base erosion and profit shifting project that was undertaken by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD"). The OECD, which represents a coalition of member countries, recommended changes to numerous long-standing tax principles impacting how large multinational enterprises are taxed. In particular, the OECD has issued its guidance on the Global Anti-Base Erosion rules, with the purpose of ensuring multinational companies pay a 15% global minimum tax on the income generated in each of the jurisdictions where they operate in, referred to as "Pillar Two." Many jurisdictions, including several European Union members and G20 countries, have enacted Pillar Two as of January 1, 2024. Pillar Two did not have a material impact to our effective tax rate in 2025 and 2024. We are continuing to monitor developments and evaluating the impacts these new rules will have on our future tax rate, including eligibility to qualify for the safe harbor rules.

Many jurisdictions, including several European Union members and G20 countries, have enacted Pillar Two as of January 1, 2024. Pillar Two did not have a material impact to our effective tax rate in 2024. We are continuing to monitor developments and evaluating the impacts these new rules will have on our future tax rate, including eligibility to qualify for the safe harbor rules.

Further, the increased scrutiny on international tax and continuous changes to countries’ tax legislation may also affect the policies and decisions of tax authorities with respect to certain income tax and transfer pricing positions taken by the Company in prior or future periods. It is not uncommon for taxing authorities in different countries to have conflicting views, for instance, with respect to, among other things, the manner in which the arm’s length standard is applied for transfer pricing purposes, or with respect to the valuation of intellectual property. Our income tax obligations are based partly on our corporate structure and inter-company arrangements, including how we develop, value, and use our intellectual property and the valuations of our inter-company transactions. Tax authorities may disagree with certain positions we have taken and assess additional taxes. We regularly assess the likely outcomes of these audits to determine the appropriateness of our tax provision; however, there can be no assurance that we will accurately predict the outcomes of these audits, and the actual outcomes of these audits could have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. In addition, governmental authorities in the United States and throughout the world may increase or impose new income taxes or indirect taxes, or revise interpretations of existing tax rules and regulations, as a means of financing the costs of stimulus and other measures enacted or taken, or that may be enacted or taken in the future. Such actions could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION

Our indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and limit our financial flexibility.

The Company's indebtedness could:

•Expose us to interest rate risk;

•Increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

•Limit our ability to obtain additional financing or refinancing at attractive rates and terms;

•Require the dedication of a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to the payment of principal of, and interest on, our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of such cash flow to fund our growth strategy, working capital, capital expenditures, share repurchases and other general corporate purposes;

•Limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry; and

•Place us at a competitive disadvantage relative to our competitors with less debt.

Further, our outstanding indebtedness is subject to financial and other covenants, which may be affected by changes in economic or business conditions or other events that are beyond our control. If we fail to comply with the covenants in any of our indebtedness, we may be in default under the loan, which may entitle the lenders to accelerate the debt obligations. To avoid defaulting on our indebtedness, we may be required to take actions such as reducing or delaying capital expenditures, reducing or eliminating stock repurchases, selling assets, seeking additional equity capital, and restructuring or refinancing all or part of our existing debt. In addition, our ability to refinance any of our outstanding or future indebtedness will depend on market conditions and our financial condition at such time, which could result in our ability to engage in these activities on desirable rates and terms, or at all.

~~Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates have affected our operating results and could continue to impact our revenue and net earnings.~~25

Because the functional currency of most of our foreign activities is the applicable local currency, but our financial reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, we are required to translate the assets, liabilities, expenses, and revenues of our foreign activities into U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange rate in preparing our Consolidated Financial Statements. We operate in approximately 40 countries and are exposed to various foreign currencies. Accordingly, we face foreign currency exchange rate risk arising from transactions in the normal course of business.

Because the functional currency of most of our foreign activities is the applicable local currency, but our financial reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, we are required to translate the assets, liabilities, expenses, and revenues of our foreign activities into U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange rate in preparing our Consolidated Financial Statements. We operate in approximately 38 countries and are exposed to various foreign currencies. Accordingly, we face foreign currency exchange rate risk arising from transactions in the normal course of business.

In addition, we operate in certain jurisdictions that utilize foreign currency controls that may temporarily restrict access to foreign currency which results in excess cash in the jurisdiction that cannot be remitted outside of the country and is, therefore, subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk. For example, the Company has operations in Argentina. Commencing in October 2023 and continuing throughout 2024 and 2025, the Company began entering into Blue Chip Swap transactions (a foreign exchange mechanism which effectively results in a parallel U.S. dollar exchange rate) in order to remit cash from its Argentine operations and such action resulted in a pre-tax loss on investment of $1 million, $4 million and $13 million during 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Foreign currency exchange rates and foreign currency controls have affected our revenue and net earnings and could continue to impact our revenue and net earnings. While we actively manage our foreign currency market risk in the normal course of business by entering into various derivative instruments to hedge against such risk, these derivative instruments involve risks and may not effectively limit our underlying exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations or minimize our net earnings and cash volatility associated with foreign currency exchange rate changes. Further, the failure of one or more counterparties to our foreign currency exchange rate contracts to fulfill their obligations to us could adversely affect our operating results.

Item 1C.			CYBERSECURITY

Risk Management and Strategy

Our cybersecurity program is designed to protect information and information systems from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction.

Enterprise Risk Management. We have processes in place for assessing, identifying, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats, which are integrated into our Enterprise Risk Management ("ERM") program. Our ERM program, which is coordinated through our Enterprise Risk and Internal Audit function ("ERAS team"), includes the identification of risks relevant to Teradata’s business, including material risks from cybersecurity threats; assigning personnel responsible for such risks; the development of strategies and plans to monitor, assess, and mitigate such risks; and oversight of the identified risks through regular reporting and risk evaluations with management, our Board, and/or relevant Board committee. Our ERAS team works closely with the Information Security function, including our Chief Information Security Officer ("CISO"), in the cybersecurity risk management process that informs the ERM program.

Cybersecurity Processes. The processes in place for managing cybersecurity threats, including threats associated with our use of third-party service providers, include identifying potential cybersecurity threats; defining the roles and responsibilities of our personnel pursuant to our Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan ("CIRP"); continuous testing and training of our employees on cybersecurity risks and security hygiene; communication and escalation protocols; and tools and technologies for incident detection and responses. We continuously assess risks and changes in the cybersecurity environment and adjust our processes and cybersecurity investments as appropriate.

•Our information security processes are built upon a foundation of advanced security technology, a trained team of security experts, and operations based on various global practices, standards, and frameworks, including the International Organization for Standardization, International Electrotechnical Commission, and National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework.

•We maintain policies, procedures, and controls that are designed to identify, protect, detect, respond to, and recover from information security and cybersecurity threats and incidents. Such items are reviewed, approved, and maintained by our CISO on an ongoing basis. In addition, we engage external advisors periodically to review and assess our policies, procedures, and controls. 26

•Our CIRP provides a documented framework for handling cybersecurity incidents. The CIRP addresses cybersecurity incident detection, containment, analysis, eradication, recovery, escalation protocols, and coordination across multiple functions of the organization.

•We have processes to manage cybersecurity risks associated with third-party service providers. Such providers are subject to information security assessments at the time of onboarding and at certain other times during their engagement with us. We require our providers to meet appropriate security requirements, controls, and responsibilities and comply with certain cybersecurity and data security standards that we

•We have processes to manage cybersecurity risks associated with third-party service providers. Risk management process for third-party service providers and vendors includes due diligence and information security assessments in the selection process and periodic monitoring regarding adherence to applicable cybersecurity standards. However, despite the controls that we have in place, we also rely on our third-parties to implement security programs and we cannot ensure in all circumstances that their efforts will be successful.

•We maintain an annual cybersecurity training plan including employee training on cybersecurity risks, requirements, and incident reporting. As part of our training plan, we regularly perform phishing tests of our employees. On an annual basis, our employees must complete cybersecurity awareness training.

•We perform simulations to review and test our information security program, including tabletop exercises, penetration and vulnerability testing, and other exercises to evaluate the effectiveness of our information security program and improve our security measures and planning.

•We maintain insurance to provide coverage for certain losses from cybersecurity threats and incidents.

•We have developed business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities to mitigate interruptions to critical information systems and the loss of data and services from the effects of natural or man-made disasters to Teradata systems.

Cybersecurity Incidents. To protect our information systems from cybersecurity incidents and threats, we use various security tools that help prevent, identify, escalate, investigate, resolve, and recover from identified vulnerabilities and security incidents in a timely manner. We maintain controls and procedures that ~~are~~include ~~designed~~escalation toprocedures ~~ensure~~based ~~prompt~~on ~~escalation~~the nature and severity of ~~certain~~the ~~cybersecurity~~incident ~~incidents~~to ensure prompt escalation so that decisions regarding materiality of the incident and any necessary public disclosure and reporting of such incidents can be made in a timely manner. In the last ~~three~~several fiscal years, we have not experienced any material cybersecurity incident and the expenses we have incurred from security incidents were immaterial. As a result, we do not believe that cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, have materially impacted our results of operations and financial condition. As cybersecurity threats become more sophisticated and coordinated, it is reasonably likely that we will be required to expend greater resources to continue to modify and enhance our protective measures as we pursue our business strategies.

Cybersecurity Risks. Notwithstanding the extensive approach we take to cybersecurity, we may not be successful in preventing or mitigating a cybersecurity incident that could have a material adverse effect on us. While we maintain cybersecurity insurance, the costs related to cybersecurity incidents may not be fully insured. See "Risk Factors — A cybersecurity incident, disruption, or failure of our information systems or those of our third-party providers could adversely impact our reputation, business, and financial results."

Governance

Board Oversight of Cybersecurity Risk. Our Board’s role is to engage in informed oversight of enterprise-wide risks as managed through our ERM program, including cybersecurity. While the full Board has overall responsibility for risk oversight, the Board has delegated oversight responsibility related to risks from cybersecurity threats to the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of the Company’s information security policies, the internal controls regarding information security and cybersecurity, and risks related to such exposures and actions taken to monitor and/or mitigate such risks. The Audit Committee receives quarterly reports as part of its meeting materials prepared by our CISO regarding the assessment of the status, adequacy, and effectiveness of our processes related to assessing, identifying, and managing cybersecurity risks and related mitigation plans. In addition, at least twice per year, the Audit Committee meeting agenda includes a presentation by the CISO to review and discuss the CISO’s report on cybersecurity risks, mitigation plans and the steps the security team has taken to monitor and control related exposures. The Audit Committee reports to the Board on cybersecurity matters discussed at its meetings and the CISO’s quarterly reports are provided to the Board as part of their meeting materials for their information as well.

Executive Oversight of Cybersecurity. Management is responsible for the Company’s planning, identification, assessment, and mitigation of risks from cybersecurity threats. Our CISO, Chief Administrative Officer, and Chief Operating Officer comprise our Core Cybersecurity Management Team (the "CCMT"). The CCMT has oversight of Teradata’s CIRP and is informed and consulted on the response and resolution process for cybersecurity incidents. The CCMT is responsible for determining communications to inform relevant stakeholders of cybersecurity incidents as applicable, relevant, and/or required, including the Board; Audit Committee; the executive leadership team; investors; customers; employees; law enforcement; and regulators.

Depending on the nature and/or severity of the incident, additional stakeholders within the broader enterprise-wide management team may be included in the assessment, response, and resolution of an incident by the CCMT. The broader management team for this purpose may include, but is not limited to, executive and senior leaders in our Product, Customer, People, Information Technology, and Law functions, as well as others that may be considered necessary (collectively referred to as the "ECMT"). The ECMT provides oversight, perspective, and support from their respective areas of expertise to assist in analyzing the cybersecurity incident, materiality of the incident, and remediation considerations.

CISO and Cybersecurity Team. Our Information Security function is led by our CISO and is responsible for executing our enterprise-wide cybersecurity strategy, policy, standards, architecture, and processes.

•The Information Security function consists of qualified professionals in cybersecurity. This team sets the cybersecurity strategy for Teradata; develops Teradata’s cybersecurity architecture and deploys and manages tools and technologies aligned with such architecture to safeguard our information systems; manages the cybersecurity training required of our employees; monitors our cybersecurity threats and incidents; escalates the occurrence of cybersecurity incidents pursuant to the CIRP; and addresses and incorporates mitigation items.

Item 2.			PROPERTIES

As of December 31, ~~2024~~2025, Teradata operated 4140 facilities in 29 countries consisting of approximately ~~645~~628 thousand square feet throughout the world. Approximately 7173% of this square footage is our headquarters in San Diego, which is the only property that we own, the rest of our property is leased.

1.The dilution offset program allows the Company to repurchase Teradata common stock to the extent of cash received from the exercise of stock options and the ESPP to offset dilution from shares issued pursuant to these plans.

2.The general share repurchase program authorized by the Board allows the Company to repurchase outstanding shares of Teradata common stock. Share repurchases made by the Company are reported on a trade date basis. On November 1, 2021, Teradata's Board of Directors authorized an additional $1 billion to be utilized to repurchase Teradata common stock under this share repurchase program. The general share repurchase program ~~expires~~expired on December 31, 2025. On November 17, 2025, the Board approved a new stock repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program") authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $500 million of its common stock. The Repurchase Program became effective on January 1, 2026, does not have an expiration date, and will continue until otherwise modified, suspended, or terminated. The purchases under the Repurchase Program may be made from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, in accordance with applicable securities law and other regulatory requirements. The Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any shares under the authorization and the timing and amount of any repurchases will depend on a variety of factors, including the price of the Company’s common stock, general business and market conditions, and other investment considerations.

Teradata’s business, key priorities, and strategy is discussed under Part I, Item I of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

To allow for greater transparency regarding the progress we are making toward achieving our strategic objectives, we utilize the following financial and performance metrics:

•Total Annual Recurring Revenue ("Total ARR") - annual contract value atfor aall ~~point~~active inand ~~time~~contractually ofbinding ~~all~~term-based ~~recurring~~ contracts, ~~including~~at ~~subscription,~~the ~~cloud,~~end ~~software~~of ~~upgrade~~the ~~rights~~period, ~~and~~including ~~maintenance.~~cloud, ~~ARR~~recurring ~~does~~AI ~~not~~services, ~~include~~subscriptions, ~~managed~~hardware ~~services~~rental, maintenance and ~~third-party~~ software upgrade rights.

•Public Cloud ARR (included within Total ARR) - annual contract value atfor aall ~~point~~active inand ~~time~~contractually ofbinding ~~all~~term-based contracts ~~related~~at tothe ~~public~~end ~~cloud implementations~~ of ~~Teradata~~the ~~VantageCloud~~period ~~and~~that ~~does~~are ~~not~~operated ~~include~~in ~~ARR~~a ~~related~~public ~~to private or managed~~ cloud ~~implementations~~environment.

•Cloud Net Expansion Rate - Teradata calculates its last-twelve months dollar-based cloud net expansion rate as of a fiscal quarter end as follows:

◦We identify the ARR for active cloud customers in the fiscal quarter ending one year prior to the given fiscal quarter (the "base period");

◦We then identify the public cloud ARR in the given fiscal quarter (the "current period") from the same set of active cloud customers as the base period, including increases in usage, as well as reductions and cancellations, and additional conversions of on-premises revenues to the cloud for customers active in the base period, all in constant currency; and

◦The quarterly dollar-based, cloud net expansion rate is calculated by taking the ARR from the current period and dividing by the ARR from the base period.

The last twelve-month dollar-based cloud net expansion rate is calculated by taking the average of the quarterly dollar-based cloud net expansion rate from the last fiscal quarter and the prior three fiscal quarters.

~~2024 FINANCIAL OVERVIEW~~32

As more fully discussed in later sections of this MD&A, the following are the financial highlights for 2024:

•Revenue of $1,750 million decreased by 5% in 2024 as compared to 2023, with a 1% decrease in recurring revenue. Foreign currency fluctuations had a 2% adverse impact on total revenue and a 2% adverse impact on recurring revenue compared to the prior year. In addition to adverse foreign currency impact, the recurring revenue decline was primarily driven by a decrease in revenue from on-premises solutions, which was offset in part by an increase in Public Cloud revenue. Perpetual software licenses, hardware and other revenue decreased by 49% and consulting services revenue decreased by 16%. Revenues from perpetual software licenses, hardware and other decreased primarily due to our strategic shift towards recurring revenue. The decline in consulting service revenue was additionally due to our focus on higher-margin engagements and purposeful decrease in consulting services given the development of our strategic partner ecosystem.

•Gross profit as a percent of revenue was 60.5% in 2024, a slight decrease from 60.8% in 2023, primarily due to a higher mix of Public Cloud revenue, partially offset by an improvement in Public Cloud margins year-over-year.

Revenue

As a portion of our operations and revenue occur outside the United States, and in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, we are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Based on currency rates as of December 31, 2024, Teradata is estimating a 1.5%-to-2.0% negative impact from currency translation on our 2025 full-year total revenues.

352025 compared to 2024 - Total revenue decreased 5% in 2025, which included no impact from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Recurring revenue declined 2% in 2025, which included a 1% positive impact from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Within recurring revenue, a decline in revenue from on-premises solutions was partially offset by growth in Public Cloud revenue, consistent with prior-year trends.

Revenues from perpetual software licenses, hardware, and other were down 26% in 2025, including 1% of adverse impact from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, as customers continue to transition to our subscription-based offerings, consistent with our overall strategy towards recurring revenue.

Consulting Services revenue decreased 19%, with no significant impact from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The Consulting Services revenue decrease is an expected result of the lower order booking activity in the second half of 2024 and into 2025.

As a portion of our operations and revenue occur outside the United States, and in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, we are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Based on currency rates as of December 31, 2025, Teradata is estimating a 0.25%-to-0.75% positive impact from currency translation on our 2026 full-year total revenues.

Financial and Performance Measures

Total ARR is composed of three main categories: (1) Public Cloud ARR, (2) ARR related to on-premises subscription-based contracts and private cloud ("Subscription ARR"), and (3) ARR related to our legacy perpetual maintenance and software upgrade rights. Our financial and performance measures for the following years ended December 31 was as follows:

ARR

Total ARR	$	1,~~474~~522		$	1,~~570~~474
Cloud Net Expansion rate	~~117~~108		%	~~124~~117		%

Total ARR ~~decreased~~increased 63% versus the prior year, with declines in Subscription, and Maintenance and Software upgrade rights ARR off-set in part by growth in Public Cloud ARR. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations had a ~~negative~~positive 2% impact on total ARR. Our overall Total ARR ~~decline~~increase ~~was~~reflects ~~primarily~~meaningful ~~driven~~improvement byin ~~on-premises~~customer ~~erosions,~~retention ~~elongated~~as ~~deal~~compared ~~closing~~to ~~cycles~~the ~~and~~prior ~~lower on-premises expansion activity, and was partially offset by growth in Public Cloud ARR~~year.

Public Cloud ARR increased 15% versus the prior year primarily due to ~~on-premises~~a ~~customers~~net ~~migrating~~expansion torate ~~Teradata~~of ~~VantageCloud~~108%, ~~along~~as ~~with~~well aas ~~net~~on-premises ~~expansion~~customers ~~rate~~migrating ofto ~~117%~~Teradata's cloud platform. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations had a ~~negative~~positive 32% impact on Public Cloud ARR. Public Cloud ARR growth and the Cloud Net Expansion rate were primarily driven by customer demand for our differentiated offerings, resulting in new workloads for both migrations and expansions. Subscription ARR decreased 124% in ~~2024~~2025 from the prior year primarily due to migrations from on-premises to Public Cloud, and included a 23% ~~adverse~~positive impact from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Our Maintenance and Software ~~upgrade~~Upgrade ~~rights~~Rights ARR declined 4313% compared to ~~2023~~2024. This was expected as we continue to transition to a subscription model and customers increasingly purchased Teradata on a subscription and/or public cloud basis.

We expect to see expansion as the primary contributor for Total ARR growth in ~~2025~~2026 and expansion and conversion as the primary contributors for Public Cloud ARR growth in ~~2025~~2026. In addition, we expect a slight negative impact from annual upfront software subscription revenue associated with on-premises recurring revenue in ~~2025~~2026.

Gross Profit

The Company often uses specific terms and definitions to describe variances in gross profit. The terms and definitions most often used are as follows:

•Revenue Mix - The proportion of recurring, consulting, and perpetual software licenses, hardware and other revenue that generates the total revenue of the Company. Changes in revenue mix can have an impact on gross profit even if total revenue remains unchanged.

•Recurring Revenue Mix - The proportion of various recurring revenue offerings that comprise the total of recurring revenue. For example, a higher mix of cloud deals will have a negative impact on total recurring gross profit until we achieve scale.

•Deal Mix - Refers to the type of transactions closed within the period that generate the total perpetual software license, hardware and other revenue. For example, a higher mix of Teradata versus third-party products can positively impact profitability.

~~2024~~2025 compared to ~~2023~~2024 - The ~~slight~~ decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue was primarily driven by a higher mix of Public Cloud revenue, offset in part by improving Public Cloud gross profit rates year-over-year.

Recurring gross profit as a percentage of revenue was down from the prior year, primarily because of the negative gross profit rate impact onfrom increased Public Cloud revenue, partially offset by improved Public Cloud gross profit rates year-over-year.

The ~~decrease~~increase in perpetual software licenses, hardware and other gross profit as a percentage of revenue was primarily driven by deal mix ~~and a higher ratio of perpetual hardware to software revenue~~ as compared to prior year as the vast majority of all customers have transitioned to our subscription-based offerings, consistent with our overall strategy.

Consulting ~~services~~Services gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased as compared to the prior year primarily due to lower ~~consulting~~Consulting ~~services~~Services revenue. We continue to refocus our consulting organization on Teradata Vantage-oriented offerings and reduce our footprint in non-core consulting engagements, accompanied by our strategic development of a partner ecosystem.

Operating Expenses

We expect a decline in gross profit primarily due to negative foreign currency exchange rates and cloud mix, partially offset by cloud rate improvements. We also expect to continue our disciplined approach to managing our financial plan, investing in extending our technology strengths and promoting Teradata as a leader in data analytics, trusted AI, and hybrid cloud technology, while prudently managing costs.

2025 compared to 2024 - The decrease in SG&A expense was primarily driven by continued cost discipline, and the impact of cost actions initiated in late 2024 that continued in 2025 (as discussed in "Note 16-Reorganization and Business Transformation" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report).

less in losses with respect to Argentina Blue Chip Swaps (a foreign exchange mechanism which effectively results in a parallel U.S. dollar exchange rate) in order to remit cash from our Argentine operations.

Other expense, net in 2024 and 2023, is comprised primarily of interest expense on long-term debt and finance leases, foreign currency transactions, as well as benefit costs for our pension and postemployment plans, partially offset by interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents. Other expense is lower in 2024, primarily due to $30 million less in losses resulting from foreign currency transactions compared to the prior year, and $9 million less in losses with respect to Argentina Blue Chip Swaps (a foreign exchange mechanism which effectively results in a parallel U.S. dollar exchange rate) in order to remit cash from our Argentine operations.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the following years ended December 31 was as follows:

	2024		2023
	2025		2024
Effective Tax Rate	3027.50	%	4730.05	%

The 2025 effective tax rate included a net $2 million of discrete tax benefit, of which $9 million of tax benefit resulted from the reversal of unrecognized tax benefits, a majority of which was due to the settlement of the Company's 2020 federal income tax audit in the first quarter. This benefit was largely offset by $7 million of additional tax expense from stock-based compensation vesting.

The 2024 effective tax rate included a net $3 million of discrete tax expense, a majority of which related to additional tax expense from stock-based compensation vesting.

~~The~~We ~~2023~~recognized ~~effective~~approximately ~~tax rate included a net~~ $182 million of ~~discrete~~ tax expense, ~~of which $15 million of tax expense~~ related to ~~the~~global ~~foreign~~intangible ~~currency~~low-taxed ~~translation~~income ~~impact~~("GILTI") onin ~~deferred and payable balances for~~ our ~~Argentina~~marginal ~~operations~~effective ~~due to hyperinflation in Argentina and $10 million of~~ tax ~~expense~~rate ~~related to a valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets~~ for ~~our~~2025 ~~operations in Argentina~~ and ~~other~~approximately ~~reorganization and transformation activities.

Effective on January 1, 2022, the U.S. tax law changed to require that R&D expenses be capitalized and amortized for tax purposes under Internal Revenue Code Section 174; as a result of this law change, we recognized approximately $2 million of tax expense related to global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") in our marginal effective tax rate for 2024 and approximately $2 million for 2023. We expect that a majority of our foreign earnings will be repatriated to the U.S.

Results by Operating Segment

On August 5, 2024, Teradata announced that it realigned its sales function and initiated global restructuring to optimize operations. Due to these organizational changes, Teradata now manages its business under two segments, which are also the Company’s ~~new~~ operating segments: (1) Product Sales and (2) Consulting Services. Teradata’s Product Sales segment represents the results for the Recurring Revenue and Perpetual Software Licenses, Hardware and Other line items and the Consulting Services segment represents the Consulting Services line item, each as disclosed in the Company’s financial statements and in the tables in this Form 10-K. As the revenue and gross margin trends for these business categories are already discussed in the sections above, there is no separate segment discussion presented here. Our segment information is presented in "Note 14-Segment, Other Supplemental Information and Concentrations" of Notes to ~~Condensed~~ Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Teradata ended ~~2024~~2025 with $~~420~~493 million in cash and cash equivalents, a $6673 million ~~decrease~~increase from December 31, ~~2023~~2024, after using approximately $~~215~~140 million for repurchases of Company common stock during the year.

Teradata used approximately $3735 million of cash in ~~2024~~2025 for reorganization activities, ~~including the re-alignment of our go-to-market function~~ and other activities to optimize our workforce, as compared to $4337 million used in ~~2023~~2024 for similar purposes.

Teradata’s management uses a non-GAAP measure called "free cash flow," which is not a measure defined under 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. Free cash flow is one measure of assessing the financial performance of the Company, and this may differ from the definition used by other companies. The components that are used to calculate free cash flow are GAAP measures taken directly from the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We believe that free cash flow information is useful for investors because it relates the operating cash flow of the Company to the capital that is spent to continue and improve business operations. In particular, free cash flow indicates the amount of cash available after capital expenditures for, among other things, investments in the Company’s existing businesses, strategic acquisitions, and repurchase of Teradata common stock. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since there may be other non-discretionary expenditures that are not deducted from the measure. This non-GAAP measure should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, cash flows from operating activities under GAAP.

Financing activities and certain other investing activities are not included in our calculation of free cash flow. In 2024, we entered into Blue Chip Swap transactions in order to remit cash from our Argentine operations that resulted in a pre-tax loss on investment of $4 million, compared to $13 million of such pre-tax losses in 2023, the net purchases of which are reported in other investing activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. In 2023, other investing activities also included our strategic acquisition of Stemma Technologies. The acquisition of Stemma Technologies was not financially material. There were no other material other investing activities in 2024 and 2023.

Teradata’s financing activities for 2024 and 2023 primarily consisted of cash outflows for share repurchases, payments on our finance leases, and repayments on long-term borrowings. At December 31, 2024, we had no outstanding borrowings on our $400 million Revolving Facility (as defined below).

We have two share repurchase programs that were authorized by our Board of Directors:

•The dilution offset share repurchase program allows us to repurchase Teradata common stock to the extent (i) cash is received from the exercise of stock options and (ii) employees' purchase Teradata stock pursuant to the Teradata Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"). The purpose of the dilution offset share repurchase program is to offset dilution from shares issued pursuant to the exercise of stock options and shares purchased under the ESPP.

There is a total authority of $352 million remaining under the open market share repurchase program as of December 31, 2024.

Teradata’s financing activities for 2025 and 2024 primarily consisted of cash outflows for share repurchases, payments on our finance leases, and repayments on long-term borrowings. At December 31, 2025, we had no outstanding borrowings on our $400 million Revolving Facility (as defined below).

We have two share repurchase programs that have been authorized by our Board of Directors:

•Our open market share repurchase program provides for the repurchase of Teradata stock periodically on an ongoing basis in open market transactions, through 10b5-1 programs, through accelerated share repurchase programs, in privately negotiated transactions, or through the use of derivative instruments, in accordance with applicable securities rules regarding issuer repurchases. On November 1, 2021, our Board of Directors authorized an additional $1 billion for share repurchases under the open market share repurchase program. There was a total authority of $222 million remaining under the open market share repurchase program as of December 31, 2025. On November 17, 2025, the Board approved the Repurchase Program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $500 million of its common stock. The Repurchase Program became effective on January 1, 2026, does not have an expiration date, and will continue until otherwise modified, suspended, or terminated. The purchases under the Repurchase Program may be made from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, in accordance with applicable securities law and other regulatory requirements. The Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any shares under the authorization and the timing and amount of any repurchases will depend on a variety of factors, including the price of the Company’s common stock, general business and market conditions, and other investment considerations.

In the aggregate under the dilution offset share repurchase program and the open market share repurchase program, we repurchased approximately 5.8 million shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $24.34 in 2025 and approximately 5.8 million shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $36.99 in 2024.

Share repurchases 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.

Other financing activities, including net share settlement for the payroll tax liability of section 16 officers (as discussed in Item 5 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K), offset by proceeds from the ESPP and the exercise of stock options, net of tax, was a net ~~outflow~~inflow of $1 million for ~~2024~~2025 and a net ~~inflow~~outflow of $71 million for ~~2023~~2024.

Our total cash and cash equivalents held outside the United States in various foreign subsidiaries was $~~350~~462 million as of December 31, ~~2024~~2025 and $~~428~~350 million as of December 31, ~~2023~~2024. The remaining balance held in the United States ("U.S.") was $70 million as of December 31, 2024 and $58 million as of December 31, 2023. The Company expects that a majority of its foreign earnings will be repatriated to the U.S. Effective January 1, 2018, the U.S. moved to a territorial system of international taxation, and as such will generally not subject future foreign earnings to U.S. taxation upon repatriation in future years.

The Company expects that a majority of its foreign earnings will be repatriated to the U.S. Effective January 1, 2018, the U.S. moved to a territorial system of international taxation, and as such will generally not subject future foreign earnings to U.S. taxation upon repatriation in future years.

Management believes current cash, cash generated from operations and the $400 million available under the 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 described in this Annual Report. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, or otherwise comply with the terms of the Credit Facility or its term loan agreement, the Company may be required to seek additional financing alternatives.

Long-Term Debt. On June 28, 2022, we entered into a Credit Agreement that provides for (i) a five-year unsecured term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $500 million (the "Term Loan"), and (ii) a five-year unsecured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $400 million, including a $50 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $50 million sublimit for swingline loans (the "Revolving Facility" and, collectively with the Term Loan, the "Credit Facility"). Our long-term debt is discussed in "Note 12-Debt" of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report. In addition, as disclosed in "Note 9-Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report, Teradata entered into an interest rate swap to hedge approximately 90% of the floating interest rate of the total $500 million Term Loan and a cross currency swap to hedge a portion of Euro currency exposure of its net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries.

On September 21, 2023, the Credit Agreement was amended to establish key performance indicators with respect to certain environmental, social, and governance ("ESG") targets, pursuant to which certain positive or negative adjustments would be made to various fees and applicable margin based on Teradata’s performance against such ESG targets.

Leases. In the normal course of business, we enter into operating and finance leases that impact, or could impact, our liquidity. Leases and minimum lease obligations as of December 31, ~~2024~~2025 are described in detail in "Note 13-Leases" of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report.

Contractual and Other Commercial Commitments. In the normal course of business, we enter into various contractual obligations that impact, or could impact, our liquidity.

We also have postemployment and international pension obligations that may affect future cash flow. These items are not included in the table of obligations shown above. We are also potentially subject to concentration of supplier risk. Our hardware components are assembled primarily by Flex Ltd. ("Flex"). Flex procures a wide variety of components used in the manufacturing process on our behalf. Although many of these components are available from multiple sources, we utilize 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 our strategy to outsource manufacturing activities to Flex and to source certain components from single suppliers, a disruption in production at Flex or at a supplier could impact the timing of customer shipments and/or Teradata’s operating results. In addition, a significant change in the forecasts to any of these preferred suppliers could result in purchase obligations or components that may be in excess of demand. Postemployment and pension obligations are described in detail in "Note 8—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 in this Annual Report.

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

Revenue recognition for complex contractual arrangements requires judgment, including a review of specific contracts, past experience, creditworthiness of customers, international laws and other factors. Specifically, complex arrangements with nonstandard terms and conditions may require significant contract interpretation to determine the appropriate accounting. We must also apply judgment in determining all performance obligations in the contract and in determining the standalone selling price of each performance obligation, considering the price charged for each product when sold on a standalone basis and applicable renewal rates for services and subscriptions. Changes in judgments about these factors could impact the timing and amount of revenue recognized between periods.

We review the standalone selling price on a periodic basis and update it, when appropriate, to ensure that the practices employed reflect our recent pricing experience. We maintain internal controls over the establishment and updates of these estimates, which includes review and approval by management. For the year ended December 31, ~~2024~~2025 there was no material impact to revenue resulting from changes in the standalone selling price, nor do we expect a material impact from such changes in the near term. Refer to ~~Notes~~"Note 1-Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies" and "Note 3-Revenue from Contract with Customers" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report ~~on Form 10-K~~ for discussion of our revenue recognition policies.

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 made an accounting policy election in 2018 related to the 2017 Tax Act to provide for the tax expense related to GILTI in the year the tax is incurred.

Effective January 1, 2018, the United States moved to a territorial system of international taxation, and as such will generally not subject future foreign earnings to United States taxation upon repatriation in future years. The Company considers a majority of its foreign earnings not indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States. However, these distributions may be subject to non-U.S. withholding taxes if profits are distributed from certain jurisdictions; accordingly, the Company has recorded $24 million of deferred foreign tax expense with respect to certain earnings that are not considered permanently reinvested. Deferred taxes have not been provided on earnings considered indefinitely reinvested.

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, ~~2024~~2025, the Company has a total of $4438 million of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $2113 million is included in the other liabilities section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as a non-current liability and $2325 million of uncertain tax positions relates to certain tax attributes generated by the Company which are netted against the underlying deferred tax assets recorded on the balance sheet.

We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability and establish a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. We have recorded $~~101~~110 million in ~~2024~~2025 and $90101 million in ~~2023~~2024 for valuation allowances, $6569 million of which offset our California R&D tax credit carryfoward, and $1924 million of which relates to our US Foreign Tax Credit Carryforward, as the Company expects to continue to generate excess California R&D & Foreign tax credits into the foreseeable future. The remaining $17 million relates to certain of our operating entities with cumulative 3-year net operating losses whereby the future realization of their net deferred tax assets may not be realized.

42On January 1, 2020, we transferred certain of our intellectual property among our wholly-owned subsidiaries, which resulted in the recognition of deferred tax assets of $157 million. The recognition of deferred tax assets from intra-entity transfers of intellectual property required us to make significant estimates and assumptions to determine the fair value of such intellectual property. Significant assumptions in valuing the intellectual property include, but are

On January 1, 2020, we transferred certain of our intellectual property among our wholly-owned subsidiaries, which resulted in the recognition of deferred tax assets of $157 million. The recognition of deferred tax assets from intra-entity transfers of intellectual property required us to make significant estimates and assumptions to determine the fair value of such intellectual property. Significant assumptions in valuing the intellectual property include, but are not limited to, internal revenue and expense forecasts, and the discount rate. The sustainability of our future tax benefits is dependent upon the acceptance of these valuation estimates and assumptions by the taxing authorities.

Stock-based Compensation

We issue service-based and performance-based restricted share units. We measure compensation cost for service-based restricted share unit awards at fair value and recognize compensation expense over the service period. Our performance-based restricted share units vest only if specific performance conditions are satisfied. The number of shares that will be earned pursuant to our performance-based restricted share unit awards will vary based on actual performance. No shares will vest if ~~the~~certain ~~threshold~~ objectives are not met. In the event the objectives are exceeded, additional shares will vest up to a maximum payout. The cost of our performance-based restricted share 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 our performance-based restricted share unit awards could differ from our current expectations. We account for forfeitures for both service-based and performance-based restricted share units as they occur instead of estimating forfeitures at the time of grant and revising those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from our estimates.

Goodwill and Acquired 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. For 2024, the Company performed a quantitative impairment test. In this test, the Company compared the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. The Company typically determines the fair value of its reporting units using a weighting of fair values derived from the income and market approaches. Under the income approach, the Company calculates the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. The market approach estimates fair value based on market multiples of revenue and earnings derived from comparable companies with similar operating and investment characteristics as the reporting unit. 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 Company records an impairment loss equal to the difference. In the fourth quarter of ~~2024~~2025, the Company performed its annual impairment test of goodwill and determined that no impairment to the carrying value of goodwill was necessary.

Determining the fair value of goodwill and acquired intangibles 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 may not reflect unanticipated events and circumstances that may occur.

Pension and Postemployment Benefits

We measure pension and postemployment benefit costs and credits using 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, 2025, 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 $4 million.

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, 2024, 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 $5 million.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

A discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements is described in "Note 1—Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report, and we incorporate such discussion by reference.


Item 7A.			QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company employs a foreign currency hedging strategy to limit potential losses in earnings or cash flows from adverse foreign currency exchange rate movements. Foreign currency exposures arise from transactions denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency and from foreign denominated revenue and profit translated into U.S. dollars. The Company operates in approximately 4038 countries and is exposed to various foreign currencies in the Americas region (North America and Latin America), EMEA region (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) and APJ region (Asia Pacific and Japan). 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, ~~2024~~2025, for such contracts resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in all foreign currency exchange rates isamounts ~~immaterial~~to approximately $1 million. Any loss would be mitigated by corresponding gains on the underlying exposures.

In June 2022, Teradata entered into a ~~four~~five-year interest rate swap to hedge approximately 90% of the floating interest rate of the total $500 million Term Loan and a four-year cross currency swap to hedge a portion of Euro currency exposure of its net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries as more fully described in "Note 12 - Debt" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risks on future interest payments caused by interest rate changes on its variable rate term loan facility. Fair value of unrealized gains for open contracts are recorded in other assets and the fair value of unrealized losses are recorded in other liabilities in the Company's balance sheet (classified between current and long-term by their remaining duration). The notional amount of the hedge will step-down according to the amortization schedule of the term loan. The fair value of these contracts and swaps are measured at the end of each reporting period using observable inputs other than quoted prices, specifically market spot and forward exchange rates . The fair value of interest rate swaps recorded in other assets at December 31, ~~2024~~2025 was $91 million. A hypothetical 50 basis point increase/decrease in interest rates would result in an increase/decrease to the fair value of the hedge of approximately $42 million. The fair value of the net investment Euro currency hedge recorded in other ~~assets~~liabilities at December 31, ~~2024~~2025 was approximately $118 million. A hypothetical 50 basis point increase/decrease in currency exchange rates would result in an immaterial increase/decrease to the fair value of the hedge ~~of approximately $1 million~~.

For additional information regarding the Company’s foreign currency hedging strategy and interest rate swaps, see "Note 9 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report.

Item 8.			FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Teradata Corporation

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Teradata Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024, and the related consolidated statements of income, of comprehensive income, of changes in stockholders’ equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, ~~2024~~2025, including the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, ~~2024~~2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, ~~2024~~2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, ~~2024~~2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Basis for Opinions

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated 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 the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. 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.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

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

4543

Table of Contents

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.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Revenue Recognition - Evaluation of Nonstandard Terms and Conditions with Customers

As described in Notes 1 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has $1,~~750~~663 million of total revenue for the year ended December 31, ~~2024~~2025, of which a significant portion is generated from revenue with contracts which contain multiple performance obligations. When the Company enters into contracts with multiple performance obligations, management allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using the relative standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. As disclosed by management, revenue recognition for complex contractual arrangements requires judgment, including a review of specific contracts and other factors. Specifically, complex arrangements with nonstandard terms and conditions may require significant contract interpretation to determine the appropriate accounting, including the determination whether promised goods or services are capable of being distinct and distinct within the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met, the promised goods or services are combined with other goods or services and accounted for as a combined performance obligation.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to revenue recognition, specifically related to the evaluation of nonstandard terms and conditions with customers, is a critical audit matter are the significant judgment by management in evaluating the impact of nonstandard terms and conditions with customers on revenue recognition and determining the appropriate revenue recognition. This in turn led to significant auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures to evaluate the impact of nonstandard terms and conditions on revenue recognition.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the revenue recognition process, including controls over the evaluation of the impact of nonstandard terms and conditions with customers on revenue recognition. These procedures also included, among others (i) evaluating and testing management’s process for determining whether the criteria for revenue recognition have been met based on the specific terms and performance under the arrangement, and (ii) examining revenue arrangements on a test basis, which included evaluating the impact of nonstandard terms and conditions with customers on revenue recognition.

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").

Recurring revenue consists of our on-premises and cloud subscriptions, which have varying term lengths from one month to five years. Recurring revenue is intended to depict the revenue recognition model for these subscription transactions. The recurrence of these revenue streams in future periods depends on several factors, including contractual periods and customers' renewal decisions. Perpetual software licenses, hardware and other revenue consists of hardware and perpetual software licenses recognized upfront and revenue related to third party perpetual products. Consulting ~~services~~Services revenue consists of consulting, implementation and installation services.

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 of goodwill and other intangibles, stock-based compensation, leases, 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

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("Topic 606") as of January 1, 2018 for all contracts not completed as of the date of adoption. The core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, the Company performs the following five steps:

1.identify the contract with a customer,

2.identify the performance obligations in the contract,

3.determine the transaction price,

4.allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and

5.recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company only applies the above five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for goods or services it transfers to the customer. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience, published credit, and financial information pertaining to the customer.

Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales, value add, and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a good or service to a customer. Estimates of variable consideration are included in revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur once the uncertainty is resolved. The Company uses the expected value method or the most likely amount method depending on the nature of the variable consideration. Our estimates of variable

5250

Table of Contents

cumulative revenue will not occur once the uncertainty is resolved. The Company uses the expected value method or the most likely amount method depending on the nature of the variable consideration. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us. If actual results in the future vary from the Company’s estimates, the Company adjusts these estimates in the period such variances become known. Typically, the amount of variable consideration is not material.

For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using the relative standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. The Company must apply judgment to determine whether promised goods or services are capable of being distinct and distinct within the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met, the promised goods or services are combined with other goods or services and accounted for as a combined performance obligation. Revenue is then recognized either at a point in time or over time depending on our evaluation of when the customer obtains control of the promised goods or services. This evaluation requires significant judgment and the decision to combine a group of contracts or separate the combined or single contract into multiple performance obligations could change the amount of revenue recorded in a given period. In addition, the Company has developed assumptions that require judgment to determine the standalone selling price for each performance obligation identified in the contract. The Company determines the standalone selling price for a good or service by considering multiple factors including, geographies, market conditions, product life cycles, competitive landscape, internal costs, gross margin objectives, purchase volumes and pricing practices. The Company reviews the standalone selling price for each of its performance obligations 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.

Teradata delivers its platform and services primarily through direct sales channels, as well as through other independent software vendors and distributors and value-added resellers. Standard payment terms may vary based on the country in which the contract is executed, but are generally between 30 days and 90 days. The following is a description of the principal activities and performance obligations from which the Company generates its revenue:

•Subscription software licenses, services and other - The Company sells on-premises and cloud subscriptions to its customers through its subscription licenses, cloud and hardware rental offerings. Teradata’s on-premises subscription licenses include a right-to-use license and revenue is recognized upfront at a point in time unless the customer has a contractual right to cancel, where revenue is recognized period-to-period based on the cancellation terms. Subscription licenses are reported within the subscription software licenses caption on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The subscription software license support and unspecified software license upgrade rights on a when-and-if-available basis that are included in the subscription are reported within the recurring services and other caption and recognized ratably over the contract term. Cloud arrangements include a right-to-access software license on third party hosted hardware such as the public cloud. Revenue is recognized ratably, or as consumed, over the contract term and included within the recurring services and other caption. Cloud arrangements typically include a minimum fixed amount that is recognized ratably over the contract term and may include an elastic amount for usage above the minimum, which is recognized monthly based on actual utilization. For the Company's hardware rental offering, the Company owns the hardware and typically finances the hardware to more closely align the use of cash with the expected cash inflows from contracts with customers. The revenue for these arrangements is generally recognized straight-line over the term of the contract and is included within the recurring services and other caption. Hardware rentals are generally accounted for as operating leases and considered outside the scope of Topic 606.

•Perpetual maintenance and software upgrade rights - Revenue for maintenance and unspecified software upgrade rights on a when-and-if-available basis are recognized straight-line over the term of the contract and included within the recurring services and other caption.

•Perpetual software licenses, hardware and other - Revenue for software is generally recognized when the customer has the ability to use and benefit from its right to use the license. Hardware is typically ~~recognized upon delivery once title and risk of loss have been transferred (when control has passed). Other revenue includes the sale of third-party related products.~~

•Consulting Services - The Company accounts for individual services as separate performance obligations if a service is separately identifiable from other items in a combined arrangement and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. Revenue for consulting, managed services, implementation and installation services is recognized as services are provided by measuring progress toward the complete satisfaction of the Company’s obligation. Progress for services that are contracted for at a fixed price is generally measured based on hours incurred as a portion of total estimated hours. Progress for services that are contracted for on a time and materials basis is generally based on hours expended. These input methods (e.g. hours incurred or expended) of revenue recognition are considered a faithful depiction of our efforts to satisfy services contracts and therefore reflect the transfer of services to a customer under such contracts.

Significant Accounting Policies and Practical Expedients

The following are the Company’s significant accounting policies not already disclosed elsewhere and practical expedients relating to revenue from contracts with customers:

•Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue.

•Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as fulfillment cost and are included in cost of revenues.

•The Company does not adjust for the effects of a significant financing component if the period between performance and customer payment is one year or less.

•The Company expenses the costs to obtain a contract as incurred when the expected amortization period is one year or less.

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 expected credit losses methodology 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. The Company's estimate of depreciation expense incorporates management assumptions regarding the useful economic lives and residual values of its assets. Equipment is generally depreciated over 3 to 5 years and buildings over 25 to 45 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the life of the lease or the asset, whichever is shorter. Customer rental equipment is typically depreciated over the associated customer rental period, which is typically 3 years. Total depreciation expense on the Company’s property and equipment for December 31 was as follows:

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 four years beginning when the asset is substantially ready for use.

Costs incurred for the development of analytic database software that will be sold, leased or otherwise marketed are expensed as incurred based on the frequency and agile nature of development. The Company uses agile development methodologies to help respond to new technologies and trends and rapidly changing customer needs. Agile development methodologies are characterized by a more dynamic development process with more frequent and iterative revisions to a product release features and functions as the software is being developed. Due to the shorter development cycle and focus on rapid production associated with agile development, the Company did not capitalize any amounts for external-use software development costs in ~~2024~~2025, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023 due to the relatively short duration between the completion of the working model and the point at which a product is ready for general release.

The following table identifies the activity relating to capitalized internal-use software for the following periods:

	Internal-use Software
In millions	~~2024~~2025		~~2023~~2024		~~2022~~2023

Capitalized	2		2		32
Amortization	(32)		(53)		(5)
Ending balance at December 31	$	4	$	54	$	85

The aggregate amortization expense (actual and estimated) for internal-use software for the following periods is:

	Actual		For the years ended (estimated)
In millions	~~2024~~2025		~~2025~~2026		~~2026~~2027		~~2027~~2028		~~2028~~2029		~~2029~~2030
Internal-use software amortization expense	$	32	$	2	$	2	$	21	$	21	$	1

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 is calculated based on the present value of future cash flows and 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. No material impairment was recognized during ~~2024~~2025, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023.

Cloud computing arrangements. Implementation costs incurred in our hosting arrangements that are service contracts are recorded as other long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Implementation costs include activities such as integrating, configuring and customizing the related software. Capitalization of these costs ceases once the project is substantially complete and the software is ready for its intended purpose. Costs incurred for post-configuration training, maintenance and minor modifications or enhancements are expensed as incurred. The capitalized cloud computing implementation costs are amortized on the straight-line basis over the fixed, non-cancellable term of the associated hosting arrangement plus any reasonably certain renewal periods. We apply the same impairment model to these assets as we use to evaluate internally-developed software for impairment.

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. See Note 5 for additional information.

Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. 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 benefit and its non-U.S. postemployment benefit obligations using actuarial models. The measurement of plan obligations was made as of

5553

Table of Contents

December 31, ~~2024~~2025. 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 non-U.S. and Japan 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 and postemployment accounting rules. See Note 8 for additional information.

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. The Company made an accounting policy election in 2018 related to the 2017 Tax Act to provide for the tax expense related to global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") in the year the tax is incurred. 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 the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. See Note 6 for additional information.

Stock-based Compensation. Stock-based payments to employees, including restricted shares and restricted share units, are recognized in the financial statements based on their fair value. See Note 7 for additional information.

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 share awards and other stock awards. Refer to Note 7 for share information on the Company’s stock compensation plans.

The components of basic and diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31 are as follows:

In millions, except earnings per share	~~2024~~2025		~~2023~~2024		~~2022~~2023
Net income attributable to common stockholders	$	~~114~~130	$	62114	$	3362
Weighted average outstanding shares of common stock	9694.4		9996.84		~~103~~99.28

Basic	$	1.1838	$	01.6218	$	0.3262
Diluted	$	1.1635	$	01.6116	$	0.3161

Options to purchase an immaterial number of shares in 2025, 2024, and ~~2023 and~~ 0.3 million shares in ~~2022~~2023 of common stock, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." This standard enhances disclosures related to income taxes, including the rate reconciliation and information on income taxes paid. This ASU becomes effective January 1, 2025. We are assessing the impact of this ASU and upon adoption may be required to include certain additional disclosures in the footnotes to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (ASU 2024-03). The new guidance requires disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items on an annual and interim basis. This guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning the year ended December 31, 2027 and for interim periods thereafter. The new standard permits early adoption and can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. We are evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

57In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (ASU 2025-06). The new guidance eliminates the requirement to classify software development costs by project stage, instead, entities now capitalize internal-use software costs when management has both authorized and committed funding for the project and it is probable the software will be completed and used as intended. This guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted and the standard may be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or using a modified approach. We are evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Argentina Blue Chip Swap Transaction

The Central Bank of Argentina maintains currency controls that limit Teradata's ability to access U.S. dollars in Argentina and remit cash from its Argentine operations. There is a foreign exchange mechanism known as Blue Chip Swaps, which effectively results in a parallel U.S. dollar exchange rate. This parallel rate, which cannot be used as the basis to remeasure Teradata's net monetary assets in U.S. dollars under U.S. GAAP, has been higher than Argentina’s official exchange rate, when the Company completed its swaps, since September 30, 2023. During 2025, 2024, and 2023 we entered into Blue Chip Swap transactions, in order to remit cash from our Argentine operations that resulted in a pre-tax loss on investment of $41 million for the twelve months ended December 31, ~~2024~~2025, ~~and~~ a pre-tax loss on investment of $134 million during ~~the~~2024, ~~fourth~~and ~~quarter~~a pre-tax loss on investment of $13 million during 2023.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, contract assets, and customer advances and deposits (deferred revenue or contract liabilities) on the consolidated balance sheet. Accounts receivable include amounts due from customers that are unconditional. Contract assets relate to the Company’s rights to consideration for goods delivered or services completed and recognized as revenue but billing and the right to receive payment is conditional upon the completion of other performance obligations. Contract assets are included in other current assets on the balance sheet and are transferred to accounts receivable when the rights become unconditional. Deferred revenue consists of advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized. Deferred revenue is classified as either current or noncurrent based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize revenue. These assets and liabilities are reported on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The following table provides information about receivables, contract assets and deferred revenue from contracts with customers:

The amounts above represent the price of firm orders for which work has not been performed or goods have not been delivered and exclude unexercised contract options outside the stated contractual term that do not represent material rights to the customer. Although the Company believes that the contract value in the above table is firm, approximately $1,~~237~~167 million of the amount includes customer-only general cancellation for convenience terms that the Company is contractually obligated to perform unless the customer notifies the Company otherwise. The Company expects to recognize revenue of approximately $~~620~~537 million in the next year from contracts that are non-cancelable. The Company believes the inclusion of this information is important to understanding the obligations that the Company is contractually required to perform and provides useful information regarding remaining obligations related to these executed contracts.

Note 4 Contract Costs

The Company capitalizes sales commissions and other contract costs that are incremental direct costs of obtaining customer contracts if the expected amortization period of the asset is greater than one year. These costs are recorded in Capitalized contract costs on the Company’s balance sheet. The capitalized amounts are calculated based on the sales commissions for individual multi-term contracts. The judgments made in determining the amount of costs incurred include whether the commissions are in fact incremental and would not have occurred absent the customer contract. Costs to obtain a contract are amortized as selling, general and administrative expenses on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit, which is typically four years. These costs are periodically reviewed for impairment. The following table identifies the activity relating to capitalized contract costs:

The 2024 effective tax rate included a net $3 million of discrete tax expense, a majority of which related to additional tax expense from stock-based compensation vesting.

The 2023 effective tax rate included a net $18 million of discrete tax expense, of which $15 million of tax expense related to the foreign currency exchange translation impact on deferred tax and tax payable balances for Teradata's Argentina operations due to hyperinflation in Argentina and $10 million of tax expense related to a valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets for Argentina and other reorganization and transformation activities. These were partially offset by $4 million tax benefit related to the reversal of a FIN 48 tax reserve due to the expiration of statute of limitations and $3 million of incremental tax benefit related to stock-based compensation.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities included in the balance sheets at December 31 were as follows:

The 2022 effective tax rate included a net $1 million of discrete tax benefit, of which $2 million of tax benefit related to the reversal of a capital FIN 48 tax reserve due to the expiration of statute of limitations and $4 million

As of December 31, 2024, Teradata had NOL and tax credit carryforwards totaling $115 million (tax effected and before any valuation allowance offset and application of recognition criteria for uncertain tax positions). Of the total tax carryforwards, $8 million are NOLs in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions, a small portion of which will begin to expire in 2025, which have a $7 million valuation allowance offset; $19 million are United States foreign tax credit carryforwards which expire in 2029, which have a $19 million valuation allowance offset; and $88 million are California R&D tax credits that have an indefinite carryforward period, which have a $65 million valuation allowance offset and $23 million of FIN 48 reserve recorded.

The Company considers a majority of its foreign earnings to not be indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States, and any distributions of profits from non-U.S. subsidiaries are not expected to cause a significant United States tax impact in the future. However, these distributions may be subject to non-U.S. withholding taxes if profits are distributed from certain jurisdictions. The Company has recorded $2 million of deferred foreign withholding tax expense with respect to certain earnings which are not considered permanently reinvested as they would be taxable upon remittance. Deferred taxes have not been provided on earnings considered indefinitely reinvested.

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, 2024, the Company’s uncertain tax positions totaled approximately $44 million, of which $21 million is reflected in the other liabilities section of the Company’s balance sheet as a non-current liability and $23 million of uncertain tax positions relates to certain tax attributes generated by the Company, which are netted against the underlying deferred tax assets recorded on the balance sheet. The entire balance of $44 million in uncertain tax positions would cause a decrease in the effective income tax rate upon recognition. Teradata has recorded $3 million of interest accruals related to its uncertain tax liabilities as of December 31, 2024.62

The Teradata Corporation 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2012 SIP"), as amended, and the Teradata 2023 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2023 SIP"), as amended, provide for the grant of several different forms of stock-based compensation. The 2023 SIP was adopted and approved by stockholders in May 2023 and no further awards may be made under the 2012 SIP after that time. Awards granted under the 2012 Plan prior to stockholder approval of the 2023 Plan will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms. A total of 710.29 million shares were authorized to be issued under the 2023 SIP. In May 2020, the Teradata Board of Directors adopted the Teradata New Employee Stock Inducement Plan (the "NESIP"), effective June 1, 2020. Pursuant to the NESIP, the Company may grant equity incentive compensation as a material inducement for certain individuals to commence employment with Teradata within the meaning of Rule 303A.08 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. A total of 2.2 million shares are reserved for grant under the NESIP, the Teradata Incentive Stock Purchase Plan, and new CEO award, subject to adjustment as provided in the NESIP. The NESIP terminated on June 1, 2023.

be issued under the 2023 SIP. In May 2025, the Teradata Board of Directors adopted the Teradata 2025 New Employee Stock Inducement Plan (the "2025 NESIP"). A total of 1.0 million shares are reserved for grant under the 2025 NESIP. Pursuant to the 2025 NESIP, the Company may grant equity incentive compensation as a material inducement for certain individuals to commence employment with Teradata within the meaning of Rule 303A.08 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.

New shares of the Company’s common stock are issued as a result of the vesting of restricted share units, upon stock option exercises, and at the time of grant for restricted shares, for awards under all plans.

As of December 31, ~~2024~~2025, the Company’s primary types of stock-based compensation were restricted share units and the employee stock purchase program (the "ESPP").

Stock Options

No stock options were granted in ~~2024~~2025, ~~2023~~2024, or ~~2022~~2023.

Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units

The 2023 SIP ~~provides~~and 2025 NESIP provide for the issuance of restricted shares, as well as restricted share units. These grants consist of both service-based and performance-based awards. Service-based awards typically vest over a three-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. Performance-based grants are subject to future performance measurements over a one-to three-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 and other vesting conditions 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 substantially all restricted share grants, at the date of grant, the recipient has all rights of a stockholder, subject to certain restrictions on transferability and risk of forfeiture. A recipient of restricted share units does not have the rights of a stockholder and is subject to restrictions on transferability and risk of forfeiture. For both restricted shares and restricted share 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.

Employee Stock Purchase Program

The Company’s ESPP provides eligible employees of Teradata and its designated subsidiaries an opportunity to purchase the Company’s common stock at a discount at the end of a 6-month purchase period. Additionally, the ESPP has a look-back feature whereby the purchase discount is based off the lower of the market prices at the beginning or end of each 6-month purchase period (September to February, and March to August). The ESPP discount is 15% of the relevant market price and is considered compensatory.

66Employees may authorize payroll deductions of up to 10% of eligible compensation for common stock purchases. A total of 9.3 million shares were authorized to be issued under the ESPP, with approximately 1.7 million shares remaining under that authorization at December 31, 2025. 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.

Employee purchases and aggregate cost were as follows at December 31:

A total of 9.3 million shares were authorized to be issued under the ESPP, with approximately 2.2 million shares remaining under that authorization at December 31, 2024. 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.

Note 8 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.

Pension and postemployment benefit costs for the years ended December 31 were as follows:

The Company determines the expected return on assets based on individual plan asset allocations, historical capital market returns, and long-term 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.

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. ~~The~~For ~~discount~~markets ~~rate~~without ~~used~~a ~~for~~deep ~~countries~~corporate ~~with~~bonds, ~~individually~~relative ~~insignificant~~to ~~benefit~~our ~~obligation~~future ~~at year-end 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.~~

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 of plan assets or the projected benefit obligation of each respective plan. Amortization of deferred gains and losses are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income as a component of Other expense.

Investment Strategy. Teradata employs several 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.

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 11.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for pension assets as of December 31, ~~2024~~2025.

Common/collective trust funds (which include money market funds, equity funds, bond funds, real estate indirect investments, etc.): Valued at the net asset value ("NAV") of shares held by the pension plan at year end, as reported to the pension plan by the trustee, which represents the fair value of shares held by the pension plan. Because the NAV of the shares held in the common/collective trust funds are derived by the value of the underlying investments, 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.

Note 9 Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

As a portion of Teradata’s operations is conducted 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 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. 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.

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 revenues or in other income (expense), depending on the nature of the related hedged item.

During June 2022, Teradata entered into a cross-currency swap designated as a net investment hedge, to hedge the Euro currency exposure of its net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries. This agreement is a contract to exchange fixed-rate payments in one currency for fixed-rate payments in another currency. Changes in the fair value of this swap are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss in the same manner as foreign currency translation adjustments. In assessing the effectiveness of this hedge, the Company used a method based on changes in spot rates to measure the impact of the foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on both its foreign subsidiary net investment and the related swap.

The cross-currency swap contract has an expiration date of June 29, 2026. At maturity of the cross-currency swap contract, the Company will deliver the notional amount of €143 million and will receive $150 million from the counterparty. The Company will receive monthly interest payments from the counterparty based on a fixed interest rate until maturity of the agreements.

In June 2022, Teradata refinanced its long-term debt and its associated interest rate swap ("Prior Interest Rate Swap"), which were due to mature in June 2023, and executed a five-year Secured Overnight Financing Rate

Table of Contents

("SOFR") interest rate swap, to fix the interest rate on approximately 90% of the principal balance of the $500 million term loan, with an initial notional amount of $450 million, as more fully described in Note 12. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risks on future interest payments caused by interest rate changes on its variable rate term loan. The notional amount of the hedge steps down according to the amortization schedule of the term loan. The notional amount of the hedge was $~~439~~416 million as of December 31, ~~2024~~2025.

The Company performed an initial effectiveness assessment on the interest rate swap and the net investment hedge foreign currency swap, and the hedges were determined to be effective. The hedges are being evaluated qualitatively on a quarterly basis for effectiveness. Changes in fair value are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss and periodic settlements of the interest rate swap will be recorded in interest expense along with the interest on amounts outstanding under the term loan.

The following table identifies the contract notional amount of the Company’s hedging instruments at December 31:

In millions	~~2024~~2025		~~2023~~2024
Contract notional amount of foreign exchange forward contracts	$	7081	$	~~178~~70
Net contract notional amount of foreign exchange forward contracts	$	217	$	121
Contract notional amount of foreign currency exchange (net investment hedge)	$	150	$	150
Contract notional amount of interest rate swap	$	~~439~~416	$	~~450~~439

All derivatives are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets at their fair value. 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. Refer to Note 11 for disclosures related to the fair value of all derivative assets and liabilities.

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 foreign exchange and interest 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.

Note 10 Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary 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, including for Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") and shareholder matters. It is not currently a party to any litigation, nor is it aware of any pending or threatened litigation against it that the Company believes would materially affect its business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows, other than the following.

On June 19, 2018, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries filed a lawsuit (the "TD-SAP 1" suit) in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against SAP SE, SAP America, Inc., and SAP Labs, LLC (collectively, "SAP"). In the TD-SAP 1 lawsuit, the Company alleged, among other things, that SAP misappropriated certain of the Company’s trade secrets within the Company’s enterprise data analytics and warehousing products and used such trade secrets to help develop, improve, introduce, and sell one or more competing products. The Company further alleged that SAP employed anticompetitive practices using its substantial market position in the enterprise resource planning applications market to pressure the Company’s customers and prospective customers to use one or more of SAP's competing products and reduce or eliminate customers' and prospective customers' use of the Company's offerings. The Company sought an injunction barring SAP’s alleged conduct, monetary damages, and other available legal and equitable relief. In July 2019, SAP filed patent infringement counterclaims against the Company based on five of SAP’s U.S. patents. On August 31, 2020, the Company filed a second lawsuit against SAP (the "TD-SAP 2" suit) in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, in which the Company alleged infringement by SAP of four of the Company's U.S. patents. On February 16, 2021, SAP filed additional patent infringement counterclaims against the Company in response. On the same day, SAP also filed a lawsuit in Germany (the "TD-SAP 3" suit) for infringement of a single German patent. In November 2021, the district court dismissed the Company’s antitrust claims and most of its trade secret

claims in the TD-SAP 1 suit. In December 2021, the Company appealed that decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C. That Court ruled the appeal should be decided by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and transferred the appeal to the Ninth Circuit, where a three-judge panel heard oral arguments on February 12, 2024. Soon after, the Company and SAP entered into a partial settlement agreement that resulted in full dismissal of all claims and counterclaims in the TD-SAP 2 suit in California and the TD-SAP 3 suit in Germany, as well as a stay of all claims and counterclaims remaining in the TD-SAP 1 suit pending resolution of the Company’s appeal. On December 19, 2024, the Ninth Circuit panel ruled in the Company’s favor, overturning the district court’s summary judgment decision with respect both to the antitrust claims and the trade secret claims, and remanding to the district court for further proceedings. On January 23, 2025, SAP petitioned the Ninth Circuit for rehearing en banc. ~~Currently~~The Ninth Circuit denied SAP’s rehearing petition on March 4, it2025, and issued its mandate returning the case to the district court on April 1, 2025. On June 2, 2025, SAP petitioned for a writ of certiorari ("cert") to the Supreme Court challenging the Ninth Circuit’s reasoning on applicability of the per se rule to the Company’s antitrust claim. The Supreme Court denied SAP’s cert petition on October 6, 2025. Trial is set to begin with jury selection on March 30, 2026, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. As of December 31, 2025, it was not possible to determine the likelihood of a loss or a reasonably estimated range of loss, if any, pertaining to any of SAP’s remaining patent counterclaims in the TD-SAP 1 lawsuit. Please refer to Note 17 for an update to these legal proceedings.

On June 14, 2024, a putative securities class action lawsuit was filed against the Company and certain of its officers in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California (the “"Court”"), captioned Ostrander v. Teradata Corporation, No. 24-cv-01034 (S.D. Cal.). The complaint asserts claims for alleged violations of federal securities laws related to statements concerning the Company’s business and 2023 financial outlook for Total ARR and Public Cloud ARR. The plaintiff seeks to represent a class of certain persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s stock during the period from February 13, 2023 to February 12, 2024 and seeks unspecified damages and other relief. On December 6, 2024, the lead plaintiff in the case filed an amended complaint, after which the Company filed a motion to dismiss on February 4, 2025., ~~Briefing~~which on the ~~motion~~court isgranted ~~expected~~on toSeptember ~~conclude~~26, ~~later in~~ 2025.

There are two pending shareholder derivative actions that adopt similar allegations as the securities class action and assert claims purportedly on behalf of Teradata and against the Company's directors and officers. Brennan v. McMillan, et al., Case No. 25-cv-02113-BEN-BLM (S.D. Cal.); Lipshutz v. McMillan, et al., Case No. 25-cv-01121-CAB-MSB (S.D. Cal.). These cases have been consolidated and are currently stayed. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the amount of any potential financial loss or cost that could result from Ostrander or the ancillary lawsuits at this stage of the litigation.

Other Contingencies. 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 offerings. 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 divestiture activities that include indemnification obligations by the Company. The fair value of these indemnification obligations is typically 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. As such, the Company has generally 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.

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, ~~2024~~2025 and December 31, ~~2023~~2024.

The Company is also potentially subject to concentrations of supplier risk. Our hardware components are assembled primarily by Flex Ltd. ("Flex"). Flex procures a wide variety of components used in the manufacturing process on behalf of the Company. Although many of these components are available from multiple sources, Teradata utilizes preferred supplier relationships to provide more consistent and optimal 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 Flex and to source certain components from single suppliers, a disruption in production at Flex or at a supplier could impact the timing of customer shipments and/or Teradata’s operating results. In addition, a significant change in the forecasts to any of these preferred suppliers could result in purchase obligations for components that may be in excess of demand.73

Note 11 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, interest rate swaps 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 using derivative financial instruments, specifically, foreign exchange forward contracts. Additionally, in June 2022, Teradata executed a five-year interest rate swap with a $450 million initial notional amount to hedge the floating interest rate on its term-loan and a four-year cross-currency swap with initial notional amounts of €143 million/$150 million, as a net investment hedge to hedge the Euro currency exposure of our net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries. The fair value of these contracts and swaps 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 of unrealized gains for open contracts are recorded in other assets and the fair value of unrealized losses are recorded in other liabilities in the Company's balance sheet (classified between current and long-term by their remaining duration). The fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts recorded in other assets and other liabilities at December 31, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024 were not material. Realized gains and losses from the Company’s fair value hedges net of corresponding gains or losses on the underlying exposures were immaterial for years ended December 31, ~~2024~~2025, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023.
