Teradata Reports Third Quarter 2019 Financial Results

Teradata Corp. (NYSE: TDC) continues its successful transformation to a recurring revenue model with subscription-based transactions comprising 90% of the company’s bookings mix in the third quarter. Recurring revenue increased 10%, 11% in constant currency(1), from the third quarter of 2018. ARR increased 12%, 14% in constant currency(1), from the prior-year period. As the company shifts to a recurring revenue model and focuses its consulting resources on strategic engagements that drive increased software consumption within its targeted customer base, perpetual revenue and consulting revenue declined versus the prior-year period, as expected. Total third-quarter revenue was $459 million, compared to 2018 third-quarter total revenue of $526 million. Currency translation had a two percentage point negative impact on the third-quarter total revenue comparison(1).

Teradata reported 2019 third-quarter net income of $10 million under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), or $0.09 per diluted share, which compared to net income of $18 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2018. Non-GAAP 2019 third-quarter net income, which excludes stock-based compensation expense and other special items, was $36 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, as compared to $43 million, or $0.36 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2018(2).

“We are pleased that Teradata had a strong quarter with customers moving to subscription at a record rate, demonstrating our strategy in action,” said Vic Lund, Interim CEO, Teradata. “We’ve made significant progress as we invested in an even stronger future for Teradata—delivering outstanding technology innovation, including moving forward in the cloud, strengthening our go-to-market capabilities, and expanding our market reach. We are focused on accelerating our execution, and are well positioned as we end this year and look to a great 2020.”

Gross Margin

2019 third-quarter gross margin reported under GAAP was 53.8% versus 50.2% for the third quarter of 2018. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding stock-based compensation expense and other special items, 2019 third-quarter gross margin was 56.0%, versus 52.9% in the prior-year period(2). The gross margin rate was higher year-over-year primarily due to a higher mix of recurring revenue.

Operating Income

2019 third-quarter operating income reported under GAAP was $10 million compared to $14 million in the third quarter of 2018. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding stock-based compensation expense and other special items, 2019 third-quarter operating income was $43 million versus $56 million in the third quarter of 2018(2). The decrease in non-GAAP operating income was due to a higher subscription-based bookings mix which resulted in a significant decline in perpetual revenue, as well as a decline in consulting revenue consistent with our strategy.

Income Taxes

Teradata’s 2019 third-quarter tax rate under GAAP was negative 150%, compared to negative 80% in the third quarter of 2018. Excluding special items, Teradata’s non-GAAP 2019 third-quarter tax rate was 2.7% versus 17.3% in the third quarter of 2018(2). The difference in the tax rate period-over-period was primarily driven by the reversal of a tax contingency in the third quarter of 2019.

Cash Flow

During the third quarter of 2019, Teradata used $10 million of cash from operating activities compared to using $33 million in the same period of 2018. The Company’s transition to a subscription-based model changes the timing of billings and cash collections, therefore year-over-year comparisons may be less meaningful during the transition. During the quarter, Teradata used $17 million for capital expenditures and additions to capitalized software development costs, versus using $35 million in the third quarter of 2018. Teradata’s 2019 third-quarter free cash flow improved year-over-year to negative $27 million, compared to negative $68 million in the third quarter of 2018(3). The company used approximately $8 million of cash in the third quarter of 2019 related to reorganizing and restructuring its operations and go-to-market functions to align to its strategy, reducing free cash flow.

Balance Sheet

Teradata ended the third quarter of 2019 with $528 million in cash. During the third quarter of 2019, Teradata repurchased 1.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock for approximately $64 million. Year-to-date, the company repurchased 6.2 million shares for approximately $239 million. At the end of the third quarter, Teradata had approximately 112 million shares outstanding.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company had total debt of $596 million, including $108 million of outstanding finance lease obligations. Net finance lease obligations increased $30 million in Q3. There were no funds drawn on the company’s $400 million revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2019.

Guidance

For the full-year, Teradata expects ARR to increase at least 8% and recurring revenue to increase approximately 8% to 9%. Teradata now expects approximately a $250 million decline in perpetual revenue as the shift to subscription-based bookings continues to exceed the company’s expectations. As the company continues to realign its consulting business to focus on higher-value consulting services that increase consumption, Teradata now expects consulting revenue to decline approximately 25%, more than the 20% it previously expected.

Teradata expects 2019 full-year GAAP loss per share to be in the $(0.21) to $(0.16) range. On a non-GAAP basis, which excludes stock-based compensation expense and other special items, the Company now expects earnings per share in the $0.95 to $1.00 range(2).

Recurring revenue in the fourth quarter of 2019 is expected to be in the $348 million to $350 million range.

GAAP loss per share in the fourth quarter of 2019 is expected to be in the $(0.20) to $(0.15) range. Fourth quarter Non-GAAP earnings per share, excluding stock-based compensation expense and other special items, is expected to be in the $0.13 to $0.18 range(2).

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

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

* 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 in addition to the tax impact for U.S. tax reform. 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 third quarter of 2019 was 2.7% and 17.3% in the third quarter of 2018.

3.

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