Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

These statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, in accordance with those rules and regulations, do not include all information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Teradata Corporation (“Teradata” or the “Company”) for the interim periods presented herein. The year-end 2012 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may vary from these estimates.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Teradata’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 (the “2012 Annual Report”). The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements

Comprehensive Income. In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance regarding the disclosure of comprehensive income. Under the new guidance, entities are required to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, entities are required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The amendments in this update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. This new guidance was adopted by the Company as of January 1, 2013 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s disclosures.

4. Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets

The following table identifies the activity relating to goodwill by operating segment:


In millions	Balance December 31, 2012		Additions		Currency Translation Adjustments			Balance September 30, 2013
Goodwill
Americas	$	616	$	12	$	(1	)	$	627
International		316		4		(2	)		318

Total goodwill	$	932	$	16	$	(3	)	$	945

The changes in goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were due to the impact of immaterial acquisitions executed during the period, as well as changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Acquired intangible assets were specifically identified when acquired, and are deemed to have finite lives. The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization for Teradata’s acquired intangible assets were as follows:


	Original Amortization Life (in Years)	September 30, 2013							December 31, 2012
In millions	Original Amortization Life (in Years)	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Currency Translation Adjustment		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Currency Translation Adjustment
Acquired intangible assets
Intellectual property/developed technology	1 to 7	$	153	$	(66	)	$	2	$	153	$	(50	)	$	2
Customer relationships	3 to 10		77		(22	)		2		77		(15	)		1
Trademarks/trade names	3.5 to 5		15		(6	)		0		15		(2	)		0
In-process research and development	5		5		(1	)		0		5		0			0
Non-compete agreements	1 to 3		1		(1	)		0		1		(1	)		0

Total	1 to 10	$	251	$	(96	)	$	4	$	251	$	(68	)	$	3

In the nine months ended September 30, 2013, certain intangible assets previously acquired became fully amortized and were removed from the balance sheet. This was offset by the addition of newly acquired intangible assets associated with immaterial acquisitions in the current period.

The aggregate amortization expense (actual and estimated) for acquired intangible assets for the following periods is as follows:


In millions	September 30, 2013		2013		2014		2015		2016		2017
Amortization expense	$	33	$	44	$	42	$	40	$	27	$	18

5. Income Taxes

Income tax provisions for interim periods are based on estimated annual income tax rates, adjusted to reflect the effects of any significant infrequent or unusual items which are required to be discretely recognized within the current interim period. The Company’s intention is to permanently reinvest its foreign earnings outside of the United States. As a result, the effective tax rates in the periods presented are largely based upon the forecasted pre-tax earnings mix and allocation of certain expenses in various taxing jurisdictions where the Company conducts its business that apply a broad range of statutory income tax rates, certain of which are less than the U.S. statutory rate.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 was 25.8% and 27.3%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 was 25.1% and 28.4%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 included the marginal rate benefit of the U.S. Federal Research and Development Tax Credit (the “Federal R&D Tax Credit”) for 2013. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 also included a one-time discrete $4 million tax benefit associated with the Federal R&D Tax Credit for 2012, which was retroactively reinstated with the enactment of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 in January of 2013. There were no material discrete tax items, nor any tax benefit associated with the 2012 Federal R&D Tax Credit due to its expiration, reflected in the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

6. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

As a portion of the Company’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 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 exchange 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.

All derivatives are recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value. 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. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments, along with the loss or gain on the hedged asset or liability, are recorded in current period earnings. 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. 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.

The contract notional amount of the Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts was $108 million (immaterial on a net basis) at September 30, 2013, and $140 million ($53 million on a net basis) at December 31, 2012. The fair value derivative assets and liabilities recorded in other current assets and accrued liabilities at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, were not material.

Gains and losses from the Company’s fair value hedges (foreign currency forward contracts and related hedged items) were immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012. 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 products or in other income, depending on the nature of the related hedged item.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, from time to time, the Company is involved in claims, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings incidental to its business operations which management expects will be resolved without a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. No material amount of loss in excess of recorded amounts is believed to be reasonably possible as a result of such claims, lawsuits, investigations or proceedings.

As previously reported in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, in January 2013, the Company settled a litigation matter in federal district court filed under the qui tam provisions of the civil False Claims Act for the $3 million previously accrued on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, and the court dismissed the action.

Guarantees and Product Warranties. Guarantees associated with the Company’s business activities are reviewed for appropriateness and impact to the Company’s financial statements. Periodically, the Company’s customers enter into various leasing arrangements coordinated with a leasing company. In some instances, the Company guarantees the leasing company a minimum value at the end of the lease term on the leased equipment. As of September 30, 2013, the maximum future payment obligation of this guaranteed value and the associated liability balance was $3 million.

The Company provides its customers a standard manufacturer’s warranty and records, at the time of the sale, a corresponding estimated liability for potential warranty costs. Estimated future obligations due to warranty claims are based upon historical factors such as labor rates, average repair time, travel time, number of service calls and cost of replacement parts. For each consummated sale, the Company recognizes the total customer revenue and records the associated warranty liability using pre-established warranty percentages for that product class.

The following table identifies the activity relating to the warranty reserve for the nine months ended September 30:


In millions	2013			2012
Warranty reserve liability
Beginning balance at January 1	$	8		$	6
Provisions for warranties issued		10			12
Settlements (in cash or in kind)		(11	)		(11	)

Balance at September 30	$	7		$	7

The Company also offers extended and/or enhanced coverage to its customers in the form of maintenance contracts. The Company accounts for these contracts by deferring the related maintenance revenue over the extended and/or enhanced coverage period. Costs associated with maintenance support are expensed as incurred. Amounts associated with these maintenance contracts are not included in the table above.

In addition, 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 products. The Company 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 divesture activities that include indemnification obligations by the Company. The fair value of these indemnification obligations is 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, and as such the Company has 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.

8. Fair Value Measurements

GAAP has established 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 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 through the use of derivative financial instruments, specifically, forward foreign exchange contracts. The fair value of these contracts 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 gains for open contracts are recognized as assets and fair value losses are recognized as liabilities. The fair value derivative assets and liabilities recorded in other current assets and accrued liabilities at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, were not material. Any realized gains or losses would be mitigated by corresponding gains or losses on the underlying exposures.

The Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and subject to fair value disclosure requirements at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were as follows:


In millions	Total		Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
In millions	Total		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Assets
Money market funds, September 30, 2013	$	444	$	444	$	0	$	0
Money market funds, December 31, 2012	$	260	$	260	$	0	$	0

9. Debt

In June 2012, Teradata entered into a five-year revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”), under which the Company may borrow up to $300 million. The Credit Facility replaced a similar revolving credit agreement in the same maximum principal amount entered into by Teradata in 2007. The Credit Facility ends on June 15, 2017, at which point any remaining outstanding borrowings would be due for repayment unless extended by agreement of the parties for up to two additional one-year periods. The interest rate charged on borrowings pursuant to the Credit Facility can vary depending on the interest rate option the Company chooses to utilize and the Company’s leverage ratio at the time of the borrowing. In the near term, Teradata would anticipate choosing a floating rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The Credit Facility is unsecured and contains certain representations and warranties, conditions, affirmative, negative and financial covenants, and events of default customary for such facilities.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility, leaving $300 million in additional borrowing capacity available under the Credit Facility.

Teradata’s senior unsecured $300 million five-year term loan is payable in quarterly installments, which commenced in June 2012, with all remaining principal due in April 2016. The outstanding principal amount of the term loan agreement bears interest at a floating rate based upon a negotiated base rate or a Eurodollar rate plus in each case a margin based on the leverage ratio of the Company. As of September 30, 2013, the term loan principal outstanding was $278 million, and carried an interest rate of 1.1875%.

Teradata’s term loan is recognized on the Company’s balance sheet at its unpaid principal balance, and is not subject to fair value measurement. However, given that the loan carries a variable rate, the Company estimates that the unpaid principal balance of the term loan would approximate its fair value. If measured at fair value in the financial statements, the Company’s term loan would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

10. 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 resulting from stock options and unvested restricted stock awards.

The components of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
In millions, except per share amounts	2013		2012		2013		2012
Net income available for common stockholders	$	98	$	104	$	265	$	307

Weighted average outstanding shares of common stock		163.2		168.8		164.0		168.4
Dilutive effect of employee stock options and restricted stock		3.2		3.6		3.1		3.7

Common stock and common stock equivalents		166.4		172.4		167.1		172.1

Earnings per share:
Basic	$	0.60	$	0.62	$	1.62	$	1.82
Diluted	$	0.59	$	0.60	$	1.59	$	1.78

Options to purchase 0.7 million and 0.5 million shares of common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 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 for the respective periods and, therefore, the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Because the average market price of common shares was greater than the exercise prices of outstanding awards, no stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

11. Segment and Other Supplemental Information

Effective January 1, 2013, Teradata combined the management of the Europe, Middle East and Africa, and the Asia Pacific and Japan regions into a new International region. This larger International region has greater critical mass and leverage of resources for deployment of the Company’s integrated marketing management, big data analytics, and data warehouse solutions, and also possesses more knowledge depth for our numerous consulting and support services offers.

As a result, Teradata now manages its business in two geographic regions, which are also the Company’s operating segments: (1) the North America and Latin America (“Americas”) region; and (2) the International region. Management evaluates the performance of its segments based on revenue and segment margin, and does not include segment assets for management reporting purposes. Corporate-related costs are fully allocated to the segments.

The following table presents regional segment revenue and gross margin for the Company. For comparative purposes, prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation:

12. Subsequent Events

On October 14, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized an additional $300 million to be utilized to repurchase Teradata Corporation common stock under the Company’s general open market share repurchase program, which resulted in a total of approximately $509 million authorized for share repurchases under this program as of that date.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”)

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain statements that are forward-looking within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain statements contained in the MD&A are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections about our industry, business and future financial results. Our actual results could differ materially from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Third Quarter Financial Overview

As more fully discussed in later sections of this MD&A, the following were significant financial items for the third quarter of 2013:

•

Total revenue was $666 million for the third quarter of 2013, up 3% from the third quarter of 2012, product revenue was flat while services revenues increased 6%.

•

Gross margin decreased to 53.8% in the third quarter of 2013 from 55.8% in the third quarter of 2012, driven by lower product margins, primarily in the Americas region, when compared to the high product gross margins achieved in the third quarter of 2012.

•

Operating income was $132 million or 19.8% of revenues in the third quarter of 2013, compared to $143 million or 22.1% of revenue in the third quarter of 2012. The reduction was driven by lower overall gross margins against the strong prior-year period, as well as an increase in operating expenses, largely due to the addition of more sales territories partially offset by decreased variable incentive based compensation.

•

Net income was $98 million in the third quarter of 2013, down from $104 million in the third quarter of 2012, due to the factors above, and offset in part by a lower effective tax rate.

Strategic Overview

Teradata is a leader in helping organizations manage, integrate, and analyze growing data volumes and complexity, and become more competitive by increasing the value of their data and customer relationships. Teradata’s strategy focuses on three large and growing markets — data warehousing, big data analytics, and integrated marketing management including, digital marketing applications. Additionally, we continue to focus on the following key initiatives to broaden our position in the market and take advantage of these market opportunities.

•

Invest to expand our leading Unified Data Architecture, data warehouse software and platform family, big data discovery platforms, data management platforms, and marketing applications to address multiple market segments and solution offerings through internal development and targeted strategic acquisitions,

•

Differentiate Teradata technology and drive demand for our platforms, applications and solutions by delivering consulting services that enable customers to achieve business value through the use of best-in-class analytics across all types of data,

•

Deliver our solutions “as a service” or on premise with offerings that support applications as a service, data warehousing as a service, as well as discovery analytics as a service and data management as a service,

•

Invest in partnerships to increase the number of solutions available on Teradata platforms, maximize customer value, and increase our market coverage, and

•

Continue to seek opportunities to increase our sales resources (i.e., by hiring incremental sales account executives as well as technology and industry consultants and sales support resources).

Future Trends

We believe that demand for our solutions will continue to increase due to the continued growth of data volumes and types of data, the scale and complexity of business requirements, and the growing use of new data elements and more near real-time analytics over time. The adoption by customers of more near real-time analysis for enterprise intelligence is driving more applications, usage and capacity. As a result, we expect that Teradata’s leadership in data warehousing and big data analytics positions us well for future growth. In addition, we believe that our strong competitive position in integrated marketing management, including our marketing operations, campaign management and digital messaging offerings, will contribute to our growth and be increasingly synergistic with the Company’s big data analytics business as companies try to gain competitive advantage through data-driven marketing with their customers.

This growth, however, is not expected to be without its challenges from general economic conditions, competitive pressures, and other risks and uncertainties as outlined in Teradata’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2012 Annual Report”) and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, including below.

As a portion of the Company’s operations and revenue occur outside the United States, and in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. In 2013, Teradata is expecting approximately one percentage point of adverse impact from currency translation on our reported revenue and a corresponding currency impact on operating income, based on currency rates as of October 31, 2013. This negative trend is expected to continue into 2014 with approximately one percentage point of adverse currency impact anticipated on revenue estimates for the year.

Since mid-2012, Teradata has seen a change in customers’ buying patterns, particularly in the U.S. market, with respect to large capital investments and related services due to a more budget-conscious environment in which such purchases are delayed, deferred or modified. While we believe that these macro-economic challenges, and the resulting effect on customer purchases, are likely to continue through the remainder of 2013 and possibly into 2014, customers continue to have a strategic focus and pent up need for analytics business intelligence and management of their growing data volumes. As described above, we believe that Teradata’s market-leading product and service offerings position us well to take advantage of market opportunities as economic conditions improve and companies expand their investments in these mission-critical analytical technologies.

Although we did not experience significant changes in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 due to competitive and/or pricing trends for our data warehouse or appliance solutions, there is some risk that pricing and competitive pressures on our solutions could occur in the future, particularly to the extent that cost becomes a top priority in companies and lower cost alternatives are more seriously considered. However, such alternatives generally do not enable companies to perform mission-critical, complex business analytic workloads such as those enabled by Teradata’s offerings. We believe that analytics will remain a high priority for companies and will continue to drive growth for Teradata’s leading solutions. Moreover, we will continue to be committed to new product development and achieving a responsive yield from our research and development spending and resources, which are intended to drive future demand.

Revenue

Teradata total revenue increased 3% in the third quarter of 2013 compared to the third quarter of 2012. The revenue increase included a 2% adverse impact from foreign currency fluctuations. Product revenue was unchanged in the third quarter of 2013 from the prior-year period. Service revenue in the third quarter of 2013 increased 6% from the prior-year period, with an underlying 3% increase in consulting services revenue, and a 9% increase in maintenance services revenue compared to the prior-year period.

Gross Margin

Gross margin for the third quarter of 2013 was 53.8% compared to 55.8% in the third quarter of 2012. Product gross margin decreased to 61.4% in the third quarter of 2013, compared to 69.0% in the prior-year period. Service gross margins increased to 47.2% in the third quarter compared to 44.0% in the prior-year period.

Product gross margin was lower in the third quarter of 2013, compared to an unusually high 69.0% in the third quarter of 2012. Increased fixed costs of revenue, including an incremental $5 million of amortization of capitalized software development costs versus the prior-year quarter, contributed to the decline in product gross margin from the same period in 2012. Additionally, the product gross margin was negatively impacted by a larger number of “floor sweeps” (hardware platform migrations with large scale customer upgrades to newer enterprise data warehouse (“EDW”) solutions), which drives a higher mix of lower margin product revenue as a result of the larger hardware versus software components, as well as increased product cost incurred for future capacity on demand EDW solutions (“COD”) at some of our larger customers.

COD is a common offering used by Teradata and other information technology vendors that allows the customer to purchase extra capacity in the future, typically within 12-18 months. COD enables customers to add capacity quickly when needed; however, it erodes margins in the current quarter because product cost is recognized upon delivery with no corresponding revenue. When customers activate the COD, we record and recognize the revenue associated with the added capacity and the gross margin is recovered. In the third quarter of 2013, there were a larger number of customers adding COD compared to the number of customers who were activating COD that had been installed previously.

Services gross margin was 47.2% in the third quarter of 2013, compared to 44.0% in the prior-year period, primarily due to a higher mix of maintenance revenue versus consulting revenue, as well as higher margin rates in the consulting business. The improved consulting margins are a result of more efficient utilization of our consulting resources.

As a result of the product and services gross margin effects, total gross margin was 53.8% in the third quarter compared to 55.8% in the third quarter of 2012.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses, characterized as Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) and Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses, were $226 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared to $218 million in the third quarter of 2012. SG&A increased by $9 million driven by higher selling expense, primarily due to our strategic initiative to add sales territories and related headcount, which was offset in part by lower variable incentive based compensation expense.

Certain R&D expenses for software products to be sold externally are capitalized and later amortized over the useful life of the underlying commercial software products. The capitalization of costs reduces R&D expense in the current period, and the subsequent amortization of those costs is charged against product cost of revenue over future periods, which reduces product gross margin. The change in amounts capitalized from period to period depends on the relative amounts of product development activities being performed for products after technological feasibility has been established, and before general commercial availability of the product. The amount capitalized in the period that reduced R&D expenses for the quarter was consistent with the prior-year period.

Revenue and Gross Margin by Operating Segment

As described in Note 11 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), effective January 1, 2013, Teradata combined the management of the Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”), and the APJ regions into a new International region. This larger International region has greater critical mass and leverage of resources for deployment of the Company’s integrated marketing management, big data analytics, and data warehouse solutions, and also possesses more knowledge depth for our numerous consulting and support services offers.

As a result, Teradata now manages its business in two geographic regions, which are also the Company’s operating segments: the Americas and International regions. Teradata believes this format is useful to investors because it allows analysis and comparability of operating trends by operating segment. It also includes the same information that is used by Teradata management to make decisions regarding the segments and to assess our financial performance. The discussion of our segment results describes the changes in results as compared to the prior-year period.

The following table presents revenue and operating performance by segment for the three months ended September 30. For comparative purposes, prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation:


In millions	2013		% of Revenue			2012		% of Revenue
Revenue
Americas	$	409		61	%	$	384		59	%
International		257		39	%		263		41	%

Total revenue	$	666		100	%	$	647		100	%

Gross margin
Americas	$	233		57.0	%	$	229		59.6	%
International		125		48.6	%		132		50.2	%

Total gross margin	$	358		53.8	%	$	361		55.8	%

Americas: Revenue increased 7% in the third quarter of 2013 from the third quarter of 2012, with a 7% increase in services revenue and a 6% increase in product revenue. The revenue increase was not significantly impacted by foreign currency fluctuations. In the United States, the largest geographical region in the Americas segment, revenues grew 8% in the third quarter 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. However, outside of the United States, there was a double-digit decline, which was a result of weaknesses in the macro-economic conditions in those areas, as well as extended sales cycles at certain customers. Gross margins were 57.0% for the third quarter of 2013, down from 59.6% in the third quarter of 2012, due to operational drivers more fully described in the Gross Margin discussion above.

International: Revenue decreased 2% in the third quarter of 2013 from the third quarter of 2012, as a 11% decrease in product revenue was offset in part by a 4% increase in services revenue. The revenue decrease included a 2% adverse impact of foreign currency fluctuations. Within the International segment growth in Europe was offset by declines in China and Japan, as well as declines in areas of MEA as a result of weaknesses in the macro-economic conditions in those areas. Gross margins decreased to 48.6% for the third quarter of 2013, from 50.2% in the third quarter of 2012, primarily driven by lower product mix.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income tax provisions for interim periods are based on estimated annual income tax rates, adjusted to reflect the effects of any significant infrequent or unusual items which are required to be discretely recognized within the current interim period. The Company’s intention is to permanently reinvest its foreign earnings outside of the United States. As a result, the effective tax rates in the periods presented are largely based upon the forecasted pre-tax earnings mix between the United States and other foreign taxing jurisdictions where the Company conducts its business. The Company estimates its full-year forecasted global effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2013 to be approximately 25.5%. This estimate is based on the forecasted overseas profits being taxed at an overall effective tax rate of approximately 10%, as compared to the federal statutory tax rate of 35% in the United States.

The effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2013 was 25.8%, compared to 27.3% in the third quarter of 2012. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2013 included the marginal rate benefit of the U.S. Federal Research and Development Tax Credit (the “Federal R&D Tax Credit”) for 2013. There were no material discrete tax items, nor any benefit associated with the 2012 Federal R&D Tax Credit due to its expiration, reflected in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2012. In addition, the effective marginal tax rate for 2013 was favorably impacted by an increase in the Company’s domestic production activities federal tax deduction, which is a permanent tax item; the increase is driven by higher forecasted U.S. current taxable income in 2013 verses 2012.

Revenue

Total revenue was relatively flat in the nine months ended September 30 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The revenue included a 1% adverse impact from foreign currency fluctuations. Product revenue decreased 8% in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from the prior-year period, due primarily to macro-economic conditions in certain geographical territories throughout the world, extended sales cycles and a reduction in large customer orders in the current year. Additionally, service revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased 8% from the prior-year period, with an underlying 7% increase in consulting services revenue, and 8% increase in maintenance services revenue, as compared to the prior-year period.

Gross Margin

Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was 54.2% compared to 56.2% in the prior-year period. Product gross margin decreased to 63.6% in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to 68.2% in the prior-year period. The decrease in product margin was largely a result of less favorable product mix and an increased volume of COD, primarily in the Americas segment, when compared to the strong prior-year period. Service gross margin increased to 46.6% in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 44.7% in the prior-year period. The increase in services margins was driven primarily by improved consulting services margins from higher utilization of consulting resources in both the Americas and International segments.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses were $687 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $651 million in the prior-year period. SG&A increased by $29 million and was primarily driven by higher selling expense, resulting from our strategic initiative to add sales territories and related headcount, which was offset in part by lower variable incentive based compensation expense. R&D expenses increased $7 million and were driven by $3 million less in capitalization of software development cost, as well as higher engineering headcount expenses, which were offset in part by lower variable incentive based compensation expense.

Revenue and Gross Margin by Operating Segment

The following table presents revenue and operating performance by segment for the nine months ended September 30. For comparative purposes, prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation:


In millions	2013		% of Revenue			2012		% of Revenue
Revenue
Americas	$	1,169		61	%	$	1,170		61	%
International		754		39	%		755		39	%

Total gross margin	$	1,042		54.2	%	$	1,081		56.2	%

Americas: Revenue decreased $1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from the prior-year period, with an underlying 7% decrease in product revenue offset in part by a 7% increase in service revenue. The revenue decrease was not materially impacted by foreign currency fluctuations. Gross margins were 57.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, down from 60.1% in the prior-year period, driven primarily by lower product margins due to less favorable product mix, as well as lower consulting services margins, as noted above.

International: Revenue decreased $1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from the prior-year period, as an 8% increase in services revenue was largely offset by a 12% reduction in product revenue. The revenue decrease includes a 2% adverse impact by foreign currency fluctuations. Gross margins decreased slightly to 49.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from 50.1% in the prior-year period, as a greater proportion of services revenue (in relation to product revenue) were largely offset by improved consulting services margins, compared to the prior-year period.

Other Expense

The Company recognized $1 million of other expense, primarily interest expense on long-term debt, in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the same as in the prior-year period.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective tax rate in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was 25.1%, compared to 28.4% in the prior-year period. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 included the marginal rate benefit of the Federal R&D Tax Credit for 2013, as well as a one-time discrete $4 million tax benefit associated with the Federal R&D Tax Credit for 2012, which was retroactively reinstated with the enactment of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 in January of 2013. There were no material discrete tax items, nor any benefit associated with the 2012 Federal R&D Tax Credit due to its expiration, reflected in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. In addition, the effective marginal tax rate for 2013 was favorably impacted by an increase in the Company’s domestic production activities federal tax deduction, which is a permanent tax item; the increase is driven by higher forecasted U.S. current taxable income in 2013 verses 2012.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash provided by operating activities decreased by $4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This decrease was due to lower net income as adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense and deferred income taxes, which was partially offset by a net increase in the various components of working capital.

Teradata’s management uses a non-GAAP measure called “free cash flow,” which we define as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures for property and equipment, and additions to capitalized software, as one measure of assessing the financial performance of the Company. Free cash flow does not have a uniform definition under GAAP; therefore, Teradata’s definition of this measure 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

Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited). 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 certain 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.

The table below shows net cash provided by operating activities and capital expenditures for the following periods:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
In millions	2013			2012
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	447		$	451
Less:
Expenditures for property and equipment		(44	)		(49	)
Additions to capitalized software		(56	)		(60	)

Free cash flow	$	347		$	342

Financing activities and certain other investing activities are not included in our calculation of free cash flow. Other investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 consisted of immaterial business acquisitions and investment activities which were closed during the period. Other investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily consisted of the eCircle acquisition and other immaterial business acquisition and investment activities which were closed during the prior period. Teradata’s financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 included purchases of the Company’s common stock. The Company purchased 3.3 million shares of its common stock at an average price per share of $56.02 in the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Share repurchases were made under the two share repurchase programs initially authorized by our Board of Directors in 2008. The first program (the “dilution offset program”) authorizes the Company to repurchase Teradata common stock to the extent of cash received from the exercise of stock options and the Teradata Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) to offset dilution from shares issued pursuant to these plans.

In February 2012, the board approved a new $300 million share repurchase authorization to replace the prior $300 million authorization under the Company’s second share repurchase program (the “general share repurchase program”) that was to expire in February 2012. In December 2012, the board approved an additional $300 million increase in the share repurchase authorization under the Company’s general share repurchase program. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had $209 million of authorization remaining on the general share repurchase program to repurchase outstanding shares of Teradata common stock. On October 14, 2013, the board approved an additional $300 million increase in the share repurchase authorization under this program resulting in a total of $509 million of authorization remaining on the program as of that date. Share repurchases made by the Company are reported on a trade date basis. Our share repurchase activity depends on factors such as our working capital needs, our cash uses for capital investment opportunities, our stock price, and economic and market conditions.

Proceeds from the ESPP and the exercise of stock options were $23 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and $48 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. These proceeds are included in Other financing activities, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited). Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company repaid $11 million against its outstanding term loan, which is discussed further below.

Our total in cash and cash equivalents held outside the United States in various foreign subsidiaries was $617 million as of September 30, 2013 and $497 million as of December 31, 2012. The remaining balance held in the United States was $245 million as of September 30, 2013 and $232 million as of December 31, 2012. Under current tax laws and regulations, if cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments held outside the United States are distributed to the United States in the form of dividends or otherwise, we would be subject to additional U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and possible foreign withholding taxes. As of September 30, 2013, we have not provided for the U.S. federal tax liability on approximately $985 million of foreign earnings that are considered permanently reinvested outside of the United States.

In June 2012, Teradata entered into a five-year revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”), under which the Company may borrow up to $300 million. The Credit Facility ends on June 15, 2017 at which point any remaining outstanding borrowings would be due for repayment unless extended by agreement of the parties for up to two additional one-year periods. The interest rate charged on borrowings pursuant to the Credit Facility can vary depending on the interest rate option the Company chooses to utilize and the Company’s leverage ratio at the time of the borrowing. In the near term, Teradata would anticipate choosing a floating rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The Credit Facility is unsecured and contains certain representations and warranties, conditions, affirmative, negative and financial covenants, and events of default customary for such facilities. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had no outstanding borrowings on the Credit Facility, and was in compliance with all covenants.

In April 2011, Teradata entered into a $300 million five-year, unsecured term loan. The outstanding principal amount of the term loan agreement bears interest at a floating rate based upon a negotiated base rate or a Eurodollar rate plus in each case a margin based on the leverage ratio of the Company. As of September 30, 2013, the term loan principal outstanding was $278 million, carried an interest rate of 1.1875% and the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

Management believes current cash and short-term investment resources, Company cash flows from operations and its $300 million 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, cash equivalents and short-term investments 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 the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2012 Annual Report”), and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, or otherwise to comply with the terms of the credit facility and term loan agreement, the Company may be required to seek additional financing alternatives.

Contractual and Other Commercial Commitments. There has been no significant change in our contractual and other commercial commitments as described in the 2012 Annual Report. Our guarantees and product warranties are discussed in Note 7 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited).

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 2012 Annual Report. Teradata’s senior management has reviewed these critical accounting policies and related disclosures and determined that there were no significant changes in our critical accounting policies in the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Also, there were no significant changes in our estimates associated with those policies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Teradata maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in its reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including, as appropriate, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance as of September 30, 2013.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Purchase of Company Common Stock

During the third quarter of 2013, the Company executed purchases for 25,700 shares of its common stock at an average price per share of $49.90 under the two share repurchase programs that were authorized by our Board of Directors in 2008. The first program (the “dilution offset program”) authorizes the Company to purchase Teradata common stock to the extent of cash received from the exercise of stock options and the Teradata Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) to offset dilution from shares issued pursuant to these plans. In February 2012, the board approved a new $300 million share repurchase authorization to replace the prior $300 million authorization under the Company’s second share repurchase program (the “general share repurchase program”), that was to expire in February 2012. In December 2012, Teradata announced that the board approved an additional $300 million increase in the share repurchase authorization under the Company’s general share repurchase program. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had $209 million of authorization remaining under the general share repurchase program to repurchase outstanding shares of Teradata common stock. On October 14, 2013, the board approved an additional $300 million increase in the share repurchase authorization under this program resulting in a total of $509 million of authorization remaining on the program as of that date. Share repurchases made by the Company are reported on a trade date basis.

Section 16 officers occasionally sell vested shares of restricted stock to the Company at the current market price to cover their withholding taxes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the total of these purchases was 53,204 shares at an average price of $62.17 per share.

The following table provides information relating to the Company’s share repurchase programs for the nine months ended September 30, 2013:
