SAN DIEGO , May 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Teradata (NYSE: TDC) today announced its first quarter 2026 financial results. "Teradata delivered a strong first quarter, outperforming on key growth and performance metrics as we enter 2026. Enterprises are discovering that winning with AI requires context, governed data, codified industry knowledge, and a hybrid infrastructure that meets them wherever they operate," said Steve McMillan, President and CEO of Teradata.

Our trajectory is clear, and we believe that the opportunity to create meaningful, lasting value for our shareholders is significant." First Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights Compared to First Quarter 2025 SAP Litigation Settlement On February 19, 2026, Teradata entered into a settlement agreement with SAP. From the settlement, Teradata received a gross payment of $480 million in the first quarter of 2026. After accounting for legal fees and other expenses for the litigation and resulting settlement, the pre-tax net amount was $359 million, with $79 million of tax expense being recognized as a discrete item for US GAAP purposes in the first quarter. The net after tax settlement positively impacted GAAP Diluted EPS by $2.90 in the first quarter of 2026. For both Cash flow from Operations and Free Cash Flow, the pre-tax amount of $359 million was reflected in the first quarter of 2026. In addition, an estimated $57 million of cash tax payments related to the settlement is expected to be paid by the end of 2026 which will change the Cash flow from Operations and Free Cash Flow linearity. Regarding the tax payments, approximately half is expected to be paid in second quarter of 2026, and the remaining half is expected to be split between the third and fourth quarters of 2026. On an after-tax net basis, the settlement is expected to provide a benefit of $302 million to Cash from Operations and Free Cash Flow. Teradata is introducing Adjusted Free Cash Flow to provide a normalized free cash flow measure for the business. Adjusted Free Cash Flow will reflect adjustments for the impact from the SAP litigation and resulting settlement gross proceeds, legal and other expenses and incremental cash taxes specific to the settlement.
