Teradata Announces Preliminary First Quarter Fiscal 2021 Financial Results and First Quarter Fiscal 2021 Earnings Release Date

First quarter fiscal 2021 GAAP earnings per diluted share, Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, and public cloud annual recurring revenue (ARR)* growth expected to exceed guidance

Teradata Corporation (NYSE: TDC) today announced preliminary financial results for its first quarter of fiscal 2021 ended March 31, 2021. Teradata also announced that it will release full financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 after the market closes on Thursday, May 6, 2021.

Preliminary Financial Results for First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2021

For the first quarter of fiscal 2021, Teradata currently expects to exceed its guidance provided on February 4, 2021 for GAAP earnings per diluted share, Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, and public cloud ARR* growth, as follows:

 

Guidance for First Quarter

Fiscal 2021 provided on

February 4, 2021

Preliminary Results for First

Quarter Fiscal 2021

GAAP earnings per diluted share

$0.11 to $0.13

$0.45 to $0.47

 

 

 

Adjustments, including stock-based compensation expense, reorganization-related expenses, income tax adjustments, and other special items

Approximately $0.27(1)

Approximately $0.22(1)

 

 

 

Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, excluding the adjustments noted above

$0.38 to $0.40(1)

$0.67 to $0.69(1)

 

 

 

Public cloud ARR* growth from the end of fiscal 2020

Approximately $10 million to $15 million

Approximately $16 million to $18 million

During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company performed strongly across all its revenue categories, resulting in total revenues being comparable to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, rather than lower on a sequential basis but higher than the prior year period per the previous guidance. In addition, the Company experienced strong gross margin performance. These results, combined with Teradata’s focus on operating expenses, delivered the Company’s strong earnings performance.

In addition, while Teradata did not provide guidance for first quarter fiscal 2021 cash flow from operations or free cash flow, the Company anticipates reporting first quarter fiscal 2021 cash flow from operations of at least $105 million, less capital expenditures and additions to capitalized software of approximately $5 million to arrive at first quarter fiscal 2021 free cash flow of at least $100 million(2), due to the business performance cited above.

Note Regarding Preliminary Financial Information

Teradata reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. All projected financial information in this release is preliminary, as financial close procedures for the period are not yet complete. These preliminary financial results are not a comprehensive statement of Teradata’s financial position and results of operations. Actual results may differ materially from these preliminary financial results as a result of the completion of normal quarter-end accounting procedures and adjustments, including the execution of Teradata’s internal control over financial reporting, the completion of the preparation and management’s review of its financial statements for the relevant period and the subsequent occurrence or identification of events prior to the filing of Teradata’s financial results for the relevant period with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Teradata will not be providing any additional information regarding its first quarter fiscal 2021 performance until it reports on May 6, 2021.

First Quarter Fiscal 2021 Conference Call and Webcast

Teradata will host a conference call and live webcast after the market closes on Thursday, May 6, 2021 at 2 p.m. PT to discuss final first quarter fiscal 2021 results and provide a business and financial update.

The live webcast and a replay will be available on the Teradata website at investor.teradata.com.

* Public cloud ARR is defined as the annual value at a point in time of all contracts related to public cloud implementations of Teradata Vantage and does not include ARR related to private or managed cloud implementations.

Teradata reports its results in accordance with GAAP. However, as described below, the Company believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures such as non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, or EPS, which exclude certain items, are useful for investors. Our non-GAAP measures are not meant to be considered in isolation to, as substitutes for, or superior to, results determined in accordance with GAAP, and should be read only in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP EPS does not have a uniform definition under GAAP and therefore, Teradata’s definition may differ from other companies’ definitions of this measure.

 

 

 

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

i.

Represents the income tax effect of the pre-tax adjustments to reconcile GAAP to Non-GAAP income based on the applicable jurisdictional statutory tax rate of the underlying item. Including the income tax effect assists investors in understanding the tax provision associated with those adjustments and the effective tax rate related to the underlying business and performance of the Company’s ongoing operations. As a result of these adjustments, the Company’s non-GAAP effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was 26.4%.

 

 

 

2.

 

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