Teradata Corp. (NYSE: TDC) continues its successful transformation to a subscription-based business with subscription-based transactions comprising 72 percent of the company’s bookings mix in the first quarter. Recurring revenue increased 10 percent, 13 percent in constant currency(1), from the first quarter of 2018. ARR increased 9 percent, 12 percent in constant currency(1), from the first quarter of 2018. As the company shifts to a recurring revenue model and focuses its consulting business on higher-margin engagements within its targeted “megadata” customer base, perpetual revenue and consulting revenue declined versus prior year as expected. Total first-quarter revenue was $468 million, compared to 2018 first-quarter total revenue of $506 million. Currency translation had a 4 percent negative impact on the first-quarter total revenue comparison.

Teradata reported 2019 first-quarter net loss of $(10) million under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), or $(0.09) per share, which compared to a net loss of $(7) million, or $(0.06) per share, in the first quarter of 2018. Non-GAAP 2019 first-quarter net income, which excludes stock-based compensation expense and other special items, was $26 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, as compared to $23 million, or $0.19 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2018(2).

“In the first quarter, Teradata continued its strong momentum, backed by increasing demand for Teradata Vantage™, our game-changing platform that is helping the world’s leading enterprises get the answers they need for their toughest analytic challenges,” said Oliver Ratzesberger, President and CEO, Teradata. “I am extremely proud of our people as they accelerate the pace of transformation at Teradata and remain committed to delivering long-term value to our customers and shareholders.”

Gross Margin

2019 first-quarter gross margin reported under GAAP was 47.9 percent versus 44.1 percent for the first quarter of 2018. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding stock-based compensation expense and other special items, 2019 first-quarter gross margin was 51.5 percent, versus 48.4 percent in the prior-year period(2). Gross margin was higher year over year due to a higher mix of recurring revenue as part of total revenue.

Operating Income

2019 first-quarter operating loss reported under GAAP was $(5) million which compares to $(4) million in the first quarter of 2018. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding stock-based compensation expense and other special items, 2019 first-quarter operating income was $41 million versus $35 million in the first quarter of 2018(2). The increase in non-GAAP operating income was due to higher gross margins and lower operating expenses compared to the prior-year period.

Income Taxes

Teradata’s 2019 first-quarter tax rate under GAAP was 0.0 percent compared to 12.5 percent in the first quarter of 2018. Excluding special items, Teradata’s non-GAAP 2019 first-quarter tax rate was 27.8 percent versus 25.8 percent in the first quarter of 2018(2).

Cash Flow

During the first quarter of 2019, Teradata generated $49 million of cash from operating activities compared to $184 million in the same period of 2018. During the quarter, Teradata used $16 million for capital expenditures and additions to capitalized software development costs, versus using $28 million in the first quarter of 2018. Teradata’s 2019 first-quarter free cash flow was $33 million, compared to $156 million in the first quarter of 2018(3). The company used approximately $29 million of cash in the first 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 first quarter 2019 with $723 million in cash. During the first quarter of 2019, Teradata repurchased 1.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock for approximately $58 million. At the end of the first quarter, Teradata had approximately $230 million of Board authorization remaining for share repurchases.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had total debt of $559 million, including $59 million of outstanding finance lease obligations. There were no funds drawn on the company’s $400 million revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2019.

Guidance

For the full-year 2019, Teradata continues to expect 70 percent or more of its bookings mix to be subscription-based, ARR to increase in the range of 11 percent to 12 percent, and recurring revenue to increase approximately 10 percent to 11 percent.

2019 perpetual revenue is expected to decline at the high end of its prior guidance range of $150 million to $200 million versus 2018 due to the faster than anticipated transition to subscription-based transactions.

The realignment of the company’s consulting business to focus on higher-margin consulting services within its target market of “megadata” customers is progressing. Teradata now expects 2019 consulting revenue to decline at the high end of its prior guidance range of 15 percent to 20 percent versus 2018.

Teradata expects 2019 full-year GAAP earnings per share to be in the $0.43 to $0.53 range. On a non-GAAP basis, which excludes stock-based compensation expense and other special items, earnings per share is still expected to be in the $1.45 to $1.55 range(2).

Recurring revenue in the second quarter of 2019 is expected to be in the $336 million to $340 million range.

GAAP earnings per share in the second quarter of 2019 is expected to be in the $0.01 to $0.03 range. Non-GAAP earnings per share, excluding stock-based compensation expense and other special items, in the second quarter is expected to be in the $0.28 to $0.30 range(2).

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.   Teradata’s reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results included in this release.             For the     Three Months (in millions, except per share data) ended March 31   Gross Profit: 2019     2018 % Chg.

**

Represents the impact to earnings per share as a result of moving from basic to diluted shares.   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/used by 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.         (in millions)     For the Three Months ended March 31 2019     2018   Cash provided by operating activities (GAAP) $ 49 $ 184
