Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies	Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Description of the Business. Teradata Corporation ("we," "us," "Teradata," or the "Company") is a provider of a leading connected multi-cloud data platform for enterprise analytics, focused on helping companies leverage all their data across an enterprise, at scale. Our platform is composed of our data platform – Teradata Vantage – which is designed to run across on-premises, private cloud and public cloud environments. This platform is supported by business consulting and support services that enable customers to extract insights from across a company’s entire data and analytics ecosystem. Basis of Presentation. The financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Recurring revenue consists of our on-premises and cloud subscriptions, which have varying term lengths from one month to five years. Recurring revenue is intended to depict the revenue recognition model for these subscription transactions. The recurrence of these revenue streams in future periods depends on several factors, including contractual periods and customers' renewal decisions. Perpetual software licenses, hardware and other revenue consists of hardware and perpetual software licenses recognized upfront and revenue related to third party products. Consulting services revenue consists of consulting, implementation and installation services. Prior period amounts have been revised to conform to the current year presentation. At the beginning of the first quarter of 2021, the Company changed its historical presentation for certain components within its revenue and cost categories. To better reflect the strategy and shift in the business, the Company adopted and revised the presentation beginning in the first quarter of 2021, including reclassifying the following amounts: • Managed services revenue of $108 million and managed services costs of $80 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 from Recurring to Consulting services. • Managed services revenue of $111 million and managed services costs of $85 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 from Recurring to Consulting services. • Third party revenue of $34 million and third party costs of $26 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 from Recurring to Perpetual software licenses, hardware and other. • Third party revenue of $34 million and third party costs of $26 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 from Recurring to Perpetual software licenses, hardware and other. This change in presentation does not affect the Company's total revenues, total costs of revenues or overall total gross profit (defined as total revenue less total cost of revenue). Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the period reported. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates and judgments, including those related to allowances for doubtful accounts, the valuation of inventory to net realizable value, impairments of goodwill and other intangibles, stock-based compensation, leases, pension and other postemployment benefits, and income taxes and any changes will be accounted for on a prospective basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue Recognition The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("Topic 606") as of January 1, 2018 for all contracts not completed as of the date of adoption. The core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, the Company performs the following five steps: 1. identify the contract with a customer, 2. identify the performance obligations in the contract, 3. determine the transaction price, 4. allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and 5. recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the above five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for goods or services it transfers to the customer. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience, published credit, and financial information pertaining to the customer. Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales, value add, and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a good or service to a customer. Estimates of variable consideration are included in revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur once the uncertainty is resolved. The Company uses the expected value method or the most likely amount method depending on the nature of the variable consideration. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us. If actual results in the future vary from the Company’s estimates, the Company adjusts these estimates in the period such variances become known. Typically, the amount of variable consideration is not material. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using the relative standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. The Company must apply judgment to determine whether promised goods or services are capable of being distinct and distinct within the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met, the promised goods or services are combined with other goods or services and accounted for as a combined performance obligation. Revenue is then recognized either at a point in time or over time depending on our evaluation of when the customer obtains control of the promised goods or services. This evaluation requires significant judgment and the decision to combine a group of contracts or separate the combined or single contract into multiple performance obligations could change the amount of revenue recorded in a given period. In addition, the Company has developed assumptions that require judgment to determine the standalone selling price for each performance obligation identified in the contract. The Company determines the standalone selling price for a good or service by considering multiple factors including, geographies, market conditions, product life cycles, competitive landscape, internal costs, gross margin objectives, purchase volumes and pricing practices. The Company reviews the standalone selling price for each of its performance obligations on a periodic basis and updates it, when appropriate, to ensure that the practices employed reflect the Company’s recent pricing experience. The Company maintains internal controls over the establishment and updates of these estimates, which includes review and approval by the Company’s management. Teradata delivers its platform and services primarily through direct sales channels, as well as through other independent software vendors and distributors and value-added resellers. Standard payment terms may vary based on the country in which the contract is executed, but are generally between 30 days and 90 days. The following is a description of the principal activities and performance obligations from which the Company generates its revenue: • Subscriptions - The Company sells on-premises and cloud subscriptions to its customers through its subscription licenses, cloud and hardware rental offerings. Teradata’s on-premises subscription licenses include a right-to-use license and revenue is recognized upfront at a point in time unless the customer has a contractual right to cancel, where revenue is recognized period-to-period based on the cancellation terms. Subscription licenses are reported within the subscription software licenses caption on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). The subscription software license support and unspecified software license upgrade rights on a when-and-if-available basis that are included in the subscription are reported within the recurring services and other caption and recognized ratably over the contract term. Cloud arrangements include a right-to-access software license on third party hosted hardware such as the public cloud. Revenue is recognized ratably, or as consumed, over the contract term and included within the recurring services and other caption. Cloud arrangements typically include a minimum fixed amount that is recognized ratably over the contract term and may include an elastic amount for usage above the minimum, which is recognized monthly based on actual utilization. For the Company's hardware rental offering, the Company owns the hardware and typically finances the hardware to more closely align the use of cash with the expected cash inflows from contracts with customers. The revenue for these arrangements is generally recognized straight-line over the term of the contract and is included within the recurring services and other caption. Hardware rentals are generally accounted for as operating leases and considered outside the scope of Topic 606. • Perpetual maintenance and software upgrade rights - Revenue for maintenance and unspecified software upgrade rights on a when-and-if-available basis are recognized straight-line over the term of the contract and included within the recurring services and other caption. • Perpetual software licenses, hardware and other - Revenue for software is generally recognized when the customer has the ability to use and benefit from its right to use the license. Hardware is typically recognized upon delivery once title and risk of loss have been transferred (when control has passed). Other revenue includes the sale of all third-party related products. • Consulting services - The Company accounts for individual services as separate performance obligations if a service is separately identifiable from other items in a combined arrangement and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. Revenue for consulting, managed services, implementation and installation services is recognized as services are provided by measuring progress toward the complete satisfaction of the Company’s obligation. Progress for services that are contracted for at a fixed price is generally measured based on hours incurred as a portion of total estimated hours. Progress for services that are contracted for on a time and materials basis is generally based on hours expended. These input methods ( e.g. hours incurred or expended) of revenue recognition are considered a faithful depiction of our efforts to satisfy services contracts and therefore reflect the transfer of services to a customer under such contracts. Significant Accounting Policies and Practical Expedients The following are the Company’s significant accounting policies not already disclosed elsewhere and practical expedients relating to revenue from contracts with customers: • Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue. • Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as fulfillment cost and are included in cost of revenues. • The Company does not adjust for the effects of a significant financing component if the period between performance and customer payment is one year or less. • The Company expenses the costs to obtain a contract as incurred when the expected amortization period is one year or less. Shipping and Handling. Product shipping and handling are included in cost in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). Cash and Cash Equivalents. All short-term, highly-liquid investments having original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. Teradata establishes provisions for doubtful accounts using expected credit losses methodology and specific provisions for known issues. Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost of service parts is determined using the average cost method. Finished goods inventory is determined using actual cost. Long-Lived Assets Property and Equipment . Property and equipment, leasehold improvements and rental equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the related assets primarily on a straight-line basis. The Company's estimate of depreciation expense incorporates management assumptions regarding the useful economic lives and residual values of its assets. Equipment is generally depreciated over 3 to 5 years and buildings over 25 to 45 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the life of the lease or the asset, whichever is shorter. Customer rental equipment is typically depreciated over the associated customer rental period, which is typically 3 years. Total depreciation expense on the Company’s property and equipment for December 31 was as follows: In millions 2021 2020 2019 Depreciation expense $ 139 $ 138 $ 104 Capitalized Software . Direct development costs associated with internal-use software are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful lives of the resulting software. The costs are capitalized when both the preliminary project stage is completed and it is probable that computer software being developed will be completed and placed in service. Teradata typically amortizes capitalized internal-use software on a straight-line basis over three years beginning when the asset is substantially ready for use. Costs incurred for the development of analytic database software that will be sold, leased or otherwise marketed are expensed as incurred based on the frequency and agile nature of development. The Company uses agile development methodologies to help respond to new technologies and trends and rapidly changing customer needs. Agile development methodologies are characterized by a more dynamic development process with more frequent and iterative revisions to a product release features and functions as the software is being developed. Due to the shorter development cycle and focus on rapid production associated with agile development, the Company did not capitalize any amounts for external-use software development costs in 2021, 2020 and 2019 due to the relatively short duration between the completion of the working model and the point at which a product is ready for general release. The following table identifies the activity relating to capitalized software for the following periods: Internal-use Software External-use Software In millions 2021 2020 2019 2021 2020 2019 Beginning balance at January 1 $ 13 $ 13 $ 15 $ — $ 23 $ 57 Capitalized 3 7 5 — — — Amortization (6) (7) (7) — (23) (34) Ending balance at December 31 $ 10 $ 13 $ 13 $ — $ — $ 23 The aggregate amortization expense (actual and estimated) for internal-use software for the following periods is: Actual For the years ended (estimated) In millions 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 Internal-use software amortization expense $ 6 $ 5 $ 4 $ 3 $ 3 $ 3 Valuation of Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets such as property and equipment, acquired intangible assets and internal capitalized software are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. An impairment is calculated based on the present value of future cash flows and an impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than the carrying amount. No impairment was recognized during 2021. Goodwill . Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill amounts are not amortized, but rather are tested for impairment annually or upon occurrence of an event or change in circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. See Note 5 for additional information. Warranty. Provisions for product warranties are recorded in the period in which the related revenue is recognized. The Company accrues warranty reserves using percentages of revenue to reflect the Company’s historical average warranty claims. Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs primarily include labor-related costs, contractor fees, and overhead expenses directly related to research and development support. Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance, which requires a lessee to account for leases as finance or operating leases. Both types of leases will result in the lessee recognizing a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability on its balance sheet, with differing methodology for income statement and cash flow recognition. For lessors, the standard modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. Entities will classify leases to determine how to recognize lease-related revenue and expense. The Company adopted the new standard as of January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective adoption approach utilizing the optional transition method with prior periods not recast and have elected certain of the practical expedients allowed under the standard. See Note 13 for more information. Pension and Postemployment Benefits. The Company accounts for its pension benefit and its non-U.S. postemployment benefit obligations using actuarial models. The measurement of plan obligations was made as of December 31, 2021. Liabilities are computed using the projected unit credit method. The objective under this method is to expense each participant’s benefits under the plan as they accrue, taking into consideration salary increases and the plan’s benefit allocation formula. Thus, the total pension or postemployment benefit to which each participant is expected to become entitled is broken down into units, each associated with a year of past or future credited service. The Company recognizes the funded status of its pension and non-U.S. postemployment plan obligations in its consolidated balance sheet and records, in other comprehensive income, certain gains and losses that arise during the period, but are deferred under pension and postemployment accounting rules. See Note 8 for additional information. Foreign Currency. Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries that operate in a local currency environment are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates. Income and expense accounts are translated at daily exchange rates prevailing during the period. Adjustments arising from the translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in determining net income. Income Taxes. Income tax expense is provided based on income before income taxes in the various jurisdictions in which the Company conducts its business. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and such amounts recognized for tax purposes. These deferred taxes are determined based on the enacted tax rates expected to apply in the periods in which the deferred assets or liabilities are expected to be settled or realized. The Company made an accounting policy election in 2018 related to the 2017 Tax Act to provide for the tax expense related to global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") in the year the tax is incurred. Teradata recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company records valuation allowances related to its deferred income tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. See Note 6 for additional information. Stock-based Compensation. Stock-based payments to employees, including restricted shares and restricted share units, are recognized in the financial statements based on their fair value. See Note 7 for additional information. Earnings (Loss) Per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) 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 added from stock options, restricted share awards and other stock awards. Refer to Note 7 for share information on the Company’s stock compensation plans. The components of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the years ended December 31 are as follows: In millions, except earnings (loss) per share 2021 2020 2019 Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders $ 147 $ 129 $ (20) Weighted average outstanding shares of common stock 108.6 109.3 114.2 Dilutive effect of employee stock options, restricted shares and other stock awards 4.3 2.3 — Common stock and common stock equivalents 112.9 111.6 114.2 Earnings (loss) per share: Basic $ 1.35 $ 1.18 $ (0.18) Diluted $ 1.30 $ 1.16 $ (0.18) For 2019 due to the net loss attributable to Teradata common stockholders, potential common shares that would cause dilution, such as employee stock options, restricted shares and other stock awards, have been excluded from the diluted share count because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For 2019 the fully diluted shares would have been 115.5 million. Options to purchase 0.2 million shares in 2021 and 2 million shares in 2020 and 2019 of common stock, 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 and, therefore, the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Reference Rate Reform. In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new guidance to provide relief to companies that will be impacted by the expected change in benchmark interest rates, as participating banks will no longer be required to submit London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") quotes by the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority. The new guidance allows companies to, provided the only change to existing contracts are a change to an approved benchmark interest rate, account for modifications as a continuance of the existing contract without additional analysis. For new and existing contracts, companies may elect to apply the amendments as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating this new guidance to determine the impact it may have on our condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. The Company assessed Accounting Standards Updates not listed above and determined that they were not applicable or were not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. Recently Adopted Guidance Accounting for Income Taxes. In December 2019, the FASB issued new guidance to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The new guidance changes various subtopics of accounting for income taxes including, but not limited to, accounting for "hybrid" tax regimes, tax basis step-up in goodwill obtained in a transaction that is not a business combination, intra-period tax allocation exception to incremental approach, ownership changes in investments, interim-period accounting for enacted changes in tax law, and year-to-date loss limitation in interim-period tax accounting. We adopted the guidance in the first quarter of 2021. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

Accounts receivable include amounts due from customers that are unconditional. Contract assets relate to the Company’s rights to consideration for goods delivered or services completed and recognized as revenue but billing and the right to receive payment is conditional upon the completion of other performance obligations. Contract assets are included in other current assets on the balance sheet and are transferred to accounts receivable when the rights become unconditional. Deferred revenue consists of advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized. Deferred revenue is classified as either current or noncurrent based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize revenue. These assets and liabilities are reported on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The following table provides information about receivables, contract assets and deferred revenue from contracts with customers: In millions December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Accounts receivable, net $ 336 $ 331 Contract assets $ 10 $ 11 Current deferred revenue $ 552 $ 499 Long-term deferred revenue $ 27 $ 38 Revenue recognized during the year ended December 31, 2021 from amounts included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period was approximately $497 million.

Although the Company believes that the contract value in the above table is firm, approximately $1,547 million of the amount includes customer-only general cancellation for convenience terms that the Company is contractually obligated to perform unless the customer notifies the Company otherwise. The Company expects to recognize revenue of approximately $479 million in the next year from contracts that are non-cancelable. The Company believes the inclusion of this information is important to understanding the obligations that the Company is contractually required to perform and provides useful information regarding remaining obligations related to these executed contracts. The Company capitalizes sales commissions and other contract costs that are incremental direct costs of obtaining customer contracts if the expected amortization period of the asset is greater than one year. These costs are recorded in Capitalized contract costs on the Company’s balance sheet. The capitalized amounts are calculated based on the sales commissions for individual multi-term contracts. The judgments made in determining the amount of costs incurred include whether the commissions are in fact incremental and would not have occurred absent the customer contract. Costs to obtain a contract are amortized as selling, general and administrative expenses on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit, which is typically four years. These costs are periodically reviewed for impairment.

The Company reviewed its three reporting units in its 2021 goodwill impairment assessment, as each of the geographic operating segments were considered separate reporting units for purposes of testing. Based on the Company's evaluation and weighting of the events and circumstances that have occurred since the most recent quantitative test, the Company concluded that it was not more likely than not that each reporting unit's fair value was below its carrying value. Therefore, the Company determined that it was not necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test for the reporting units in 2021.

In addition, the Company recognized $4 million of incremental tax benefit related to stock-based compensation. These tax benefits were partially offset by $1 million of discrete tax expense related to adjustments to the Company’s accrual for unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with FIN 48. The 2020 effective tax rate included $157 million of net discrete tax benefit. A discrete tax benefit of $157 million related to the transfer of foreign intellectual property was recorded in 2020 as more fully described below. In addition, the Company recognized a net $13 million of tax benefit resulting from the CARES Act of 2020, which allows U.S. corporations a one-time opportunity to claim income tax refunds by allowing a 5-year net operating loss ("NOL") carry-back for taxable losses incurred in the tax year 2020. Teradata intends to carry back its 2020 NOL to claim a refund for taxes it paid in 2015, which created a one-time income tax benefit for the difference between the 35% 2015 carry back tax rate and the current 21% federal statutory rate. These tax benefits were partially offset by $9 million tax expense related to stock-based compensation and $4 million of incremental GILTI tax. These discrete net tax benefits resulted in full-year total income tax benefit in 2020 of $153 million, on a pre-tax net loss of $24 million, causing a tax rate of 637.5%. On January 1, 2020, we transferred certain of our intellectual property among our wholly-owned subsidiaries, which resulted in the recognition of deferred tax assets of $157 million. The recognition of deferred tax assets from intra-entity transfers of intellectual property required the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions to determine the fair value of such intellectual property, using a discounted cash flow model. Significant assumptions in valuing the intellectual property include, but are not limited to, internal revenue and expense forecasts, and the discount rate. The sustainability of its future tax benefits is dependent upon the acceptance of these valuation estimates and assumptions by the taxing authorities. The 2019 effective tax rate was impacted by $3 million tax expense related to stock-based compensation and $3 million of incremental GILTI tax, which resulted in full-year income tax expense in 2019 of $7 million, on a pre-tax net loss of $13 million, causing a negative tax rate of 53.8%. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities included in the balance sheets at December 31 were as follows: In millions 2021 2020 Deferred income tax assets Employee pensions and other liabilities $ 65 $ 62 Other balance sheet reserves and allowances 8 13 Operating lease liabilities 7 10 Tax loss and credit carryforwards 86 105 Deferred revenue 6 7 Intangibles and capitalized software 159 155 Total deferred income tax assets 331 352 Valuation allowance (58) (51) Net deferred income tax assets 273 301 Deferred income tax liabilities Right of use assets - operating lease 6 9 Property and equipment 41 52 Other 31 25 Total deferred income tax liabilities 78 86 Total net deferred income tax assets $ 195 $ 215 As of December 31, 2021, Teradata has NOL and tax credit carryforwards totaling $86 million (tax effected and before any valuation allowance offset and application of recognition criteria for uncertain tax positions). Of the total tax carryforwards, $7 million are NOLs in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions, a small portion of which will begin to expire in 2023; $6 million are United States foreign tax credit carryforwards which expire in 2029, which have a $5 million valuation allowance offset; $3 million are federal R&D credits, which will begin to expire in 2040; and $70 million are California R&D tax credits that have an indefinite carryforward period, which have a $51 million valuation allowance offset and $18 million of FIN 48 reserve recorded. The Company considers a majority of its foreign earnings to not be indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States, and any distributions of profits from non-U.S. subsidiaries are not expected to cause a significant United States tax impact in the future. However, these distributions may be subject to non-U.S. withholding taxes if profits are distributed from certain jurisdictions. The Company has recorded $4 million of deferred foreign withholding tax expense with respect to certain earnings which are not considered permanently reinvested as they would be taxable upon remittance. Deferred taxes have not been provided on earnings considered indefinitely reinvested. The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company reflects any interest and penalties recorded in connection with its uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s uncertain tax positions totaled approximately $43 million, of which $22 million is reflected in the other liabilities section of the Company’s balance sheet as a non-current liability and $2 million is reflected as a current liability within taxes payable. The remaining balance of $19 million of uncertain tax positions relates to certain tax attributes generated by the Company, which are netted against the underlying deferred tax assets recorded on the balance sheet. The entire balance of $43 million in uncertain tax positions would cause a decrease in the effective income tax rate upon recognition. Teradata has recorded $3 million of interest accruals related to its uncertain tax liabilities as of December 31, 2021. Below is a roll-forward of the Company’s liability related to uncertain tax positions at December 31: In millions 2021 2020 Balance at January 1 $ 39 $ 37 Gross increases for prior period tax positions 5 6 Gross increases for current period tax positions 3 2 Decreases due to the lapse of applicable statute of limitations (4) (2) Decreases relating to settlements with taxing authorities — (4) Balance at December 31 $ 43 $ 39

The 2012 SIP was adopted and approved by stockholders in April 2012 and no further awards may be made under the 2007 SIP after that time. A total of approximately 31.4 million shares were authorized to be issued under the 2012 SIP. In May 2020, the Teradata Board of Directors adopted the Teradata New Employee Stock Inducement Plan (the "NESIP"), effective June 1, 2020. Pursuant to the NESIP, the Company may grant equity incentive compensation as a material inducement for certain individuals to commence employment with Teradata within the meaning of Rule 303A.08 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. A total of 2.2 million shares are reserved for grant under the NESIP, the Teradata Incentive Stock Purchase Plan, and new CEO award, subject to adjustment as provided in the NESIP. The NESIP is scheduled to terminate on June 1, 2023, or such earlier date that the Board shall determine. New shares of the Company’s common stock are issued as a result of the vesting of restricted share units and stock option exercises and at the time of grant for restricted shares, for awards under all plans. As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s primary types of stock-based compensation were restricted shares, restricted share units and the employee stock purchase program (the "ESPP"). Stock Options No options were granted in 2021, 2020 and 2019.

These grants consist of both service-based and performance-based awards. Service-based awards typically vest over a three-year period beginning on the effective date of grant. These grants are not subject to future performance measures. The cost of these awards, determined to be the fair market value at the date of grant, is expensed ratably over the vesting period. Performance-based grants are subject to future performance measurements over a one The following table reports restricted shares and restricted share unit activity during the year ended December 31, 2021: Shares in thousands Number of Weighted- Unvested shares at January 1, 2021 7,512 $ 27.00 Granted 4,545 $ 41.18 Vested (3,538) $ 30.94 Forfeited/canceled (1,148) $ 30.01 Unvested shares at December 31, 2021 7,371 $ 33.38 The following table summarizes the weighted-average fair value of restricted share units granted for Teradata equity awards and the total fair value of shares vested. 2021 2020 2019 Weighted-average fair value of restricted share units granted $ 41.18 $ 20.74 $ 44.13 Total fair value of shares vested (in millions) $ 93 $ 80 $ 41 As of December 31, 2021, there was $144 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted share grants.

The ESPP discount is 15% of the average market price and is considered compensatory. The ESPP was amended as of August 2, 2021 to move from monthly purchases to purchases at the end of the 6-month purchase period. Additionally, a look-back feature was added to the plan whereby the purchase discount is based off the lower of the market prices at the beginning or end of each 6-month purchase period (September to February, and March to August). The ESPP discount remains at 15% of the relevant market price and is considered compensatory. Employees may authorize payroll deductions of up to 10% of eligible compensation for common stock purchases. A total of 7 million shares were authorized to be issued under the ESPP, with approximately 1.1 million shares remaining under that authorization at December 31, 2021. The shares of Teradata common stock purchased by a participant on an exercise date (the last day of each month), for all purposes, are deemed to have been issued and sold at the close of business on such exercise date. Prior to that time, none of the rights or privileges of a stockholder exists with respect to such shares.

Employee Benefit Plans	Employee Benefit Plans Pension and Postemployment Plans. Teradata currently sponsors defined benefit pension plans for certain of its international employees. For those international pension plans for which the Company holds asset balances, those assets are primarily invested in common/collective trust funds (which include publicly traded common stocks, corporate and government debt securities, real estate indirect investments, cash or cash equivalents) and insurance contracts. Postemployment obligations relate to benefits provided to involuntarily terminated employees and certain inactive employees after employment but before retirement. These benefits are paid in accordance with various foreign statutory laws and regulations, and Teradata’s established postemployment benefit practices and policies. Postemployment benefits may include disability benefits, supplemental unemployment benefits, severance, workers’ compensation benefits, continuation of health care benefits and life insurance coverage, and are funded on a pay-as-you-go basis. Pension and postemployment benefit costs for the years ended December 31 were as follows: 2021 2020 2019 In millions Pension Postemployment Pension Postemployment Pension Postemployment Service cost $ 7 $ 11 $ 7 $ 11 $ 7 $ 11 Interest cost 1 1 2 1 3 1 Expected return on plan assets (2) — (2) — (2) — Settlement charge — — 1 — — — Curtailment gain (2) — — — — — Amortization of actuarial loss 3 8 2 7 1 5 Total costs $ 7 $ 20 $ 10 $ 19 $ 9 $ 17 The underfunded amount of pension and postemployment obligations is recorded as a liability in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The following tables present the changes in benefit obligations, plan assets, funded status and the reconciliation of the funded status to amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets and in accumulated other comprehensive income at December 31: Pension Postemployment In millions 2021 2020 2021 2020 Change in benefit obligation Benefit obligation at January 1 $ 164 $ 149 $ 64 $ 61 Service cost 7 7 11 11 Interest cost 1 2 1 1 Plan participant contributions 1 1 — — Actuarial (gain) loss (7) 14 10 12 Benefits paid — (1) (18) (24) Curtailment (2) (5) — — Settlement (10) (11) — — Plan Amendment — — — 3 Currency translation adjustments (11) 8 — — Benefit obligation at December 31 $ 143 $ 164 $ 68 $ 64 Change in plan assets Fair value of plan assets at January 1 $ 72 $ 69 $ — $ — Actual return on plan assets 2 4 — — Company contributions 7 5 — — Benefits paid — (1) — — Currency translation adjustments (5) 5 — — Plan participant contribution 1 1 — — Settlements (10) (11) — — Fair value of plan assets at December 31 67 72 — — Funded status (underfunded) $ (76) $ (92) $ (68) $ (64) Amounts Recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet Non-current assets $ 8 $ 8 $ — $ — Current liabilities (2) (2) (12) (10) Non-current liabilities (82) (98) (56) (54) Net amounts recognized $ (76) $ (92) $ (68) $ (64) Amounts Recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Unrecognized Net actuarial loss $ 19 $ 31 $ 69 $ 66 Unrecognized Prior service cost — — 4 5 Total $ 19 $ 31 $ 73 $ 71 The following table presents the accumulated pension benefit obligation at December 31: In millions 2021 2020 Accumulated pension benefit obligation $ 134 $ 153 The following table presents pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets at December 31: In millions 2021 2020 Projected benefit obligation $ 115 $ 132 Accumulated benefit obligation $ 109 $ 123 Fair value of plan assets $ 31 $ 33 The following table presents the pre-tax net changes in projected benefit obligations recognized in other comprehensive income: Pension Postemployment In millions 2021 2020 2021 2020 Actuarial (gain) loss arising during the year $ (9) $ 7 $ 10 $ 15 Amortization of loss included in net periodic benefit cost (3) (2) (8) (7) Recognition of gain (loss) due to curtailment 2 (5) — — Recognition of loss due to settlement — (2) — — Foreign currency exchange (2) 3 — — Total recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) $ (12) $ 1 $ 2 $ 8 The weighted-average rates and assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at December 31, and net periodic benefit cost for the years ended December 31, were as follows: Pension Benefit Obligations Pension Benefit Cost 2021 2020 2021 2020 2019 Discount rate 1.3% 0.9% 0.9% 1.2% 2.2% Rate of compensation increase 3.0% 2.8% 2.9% 3.0% 3.4% Expected return on plan assets N/A N/A 3.4% 3.5% 3.0% Interest crediting rate assumption 0.9% 0.9% 0.9% 0.9% 0.8% Postemployment Postemployment 2021 2020 2021 2020 2019 Discount rate 2.0% 1.6% 1.6% 1.8% 2.5% Rate of compensation increase 3.0% 3.0% 3.0% 3.0% 3.0% Involuntary turnover rate 4.0% 3.5% 3.5% 3.0% 2.5% The Company determines the expected return on assets based on individual plan asset allocations, historical capital market returns, and long-term interest rate assumptions, with input from its actuaries, investment managers, and independent investment advisors. The company emphasizes long-term expectations in its evaluation of return factors, discounting or ignoring short-term market fluctuations. Expected asset returns are reviewed annually, but are generally modified only when asset allocation strategies change or long-term economic trends are identified. International discount rates were determined by examining interest rate levels and trends within each country, particularly yields on high-quality long-term corporate bonds, relative to our future expected cash flows. The discount rate used for countries with individually insignificant benefit obligation at year-end was derived by matching the plans’ expected future cash flows to the corresponding yields from the Citigroup Pension Liability Index. This yield curve has been constructed to represent the available yields on high-quality fixed-income investments across a broad range of future maturities. Gains and losses have resulted from changes in actuarial assumptions and from differences between assumed and actual experience, including, among other items, changes in discount rates and differences between actual and assumed asset returns. These gains and losses (except those differences being amortized to the market-related value) are only amortized to the extent that they exceed 10% of the higher of the market-related value of plan assets or the projected benefit obligation of each respective plan. Amortization of deferred gains and losses are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) as a component of Other expense. Plan Assets. The weighted-average asset allocations at December 31, by asset category are as follows: Actual Asset Allocation Target Asset 2021 2020 Allocation Equity securities 33% 34% 32% Debt securities 53% 44% 54% Insurance (annuity) contracts 11% 12% 11% Real estate 3% 8% 3% Other —% 2% —% Total 100% 100% 100% Investment Strategy. Teradata employs several investment strategies across its various international pension plans. In some countries, particularly where Teradata does not have a large employee base, the Company may use insurance (annuity) contracts to satisfy its future pension payment obligations, whereby the Company makes pension plan contributions to an insurance company in exchange for which the pension plan benefits will be paid when the members reach a specified retirement age or on earlier exit of members from the plan. In other countries, the Company may employ local asset managers to manage investment portfolios according to the investment policies and guidelines established by the Company, and with consideration to individual plan liability structure and local market environment and risk tolerances. The Company’s investment policies and guidelines primarily emphasize diversification across and within asset classes to maximize long-term returns subject to prudent levels of risk, with the overall objective of enabling the plans to meet their future obligations. The investment portfolios contain a diversified blend of equity and fixed-income investments. Furthermore, equity investments are diversified across domestic and international stocks, small and large capitalization stocks, and growth and value stocks. Fixed-income assets are diversified across government and corporate bonds. Where applicable, real estate investments are made through real estate securities, partnership interests or direct investment, and are diversified by property type and location. Fair Value. Fair value measurements are established utilizing a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are more fully described in Note 11. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for pension assets as of December 31, 2021. Common/collective trust funds (which include money market funds, equity funds, bond funds, real estate indirect investments, etc.) : Valued at the net asset value ("NAV") of shares held by the pension plan at year end, as reported to the pension plan by the trustee, which represents the fair value of shares held by the pension plan. Because the NAV of the shares held in the common/collective trust funds are derived by the value of the underlying investments, the Company has classified these underlying investments as Level 2 fair value measurements. Insurance contracts: Valued by discounting the related future benefit payments using a current year-end market discount rate, which represents the fair value of the insurance contract. The Company has classified these contracts as Level 3 assets for fair value measurement purposes. The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the pension plan assets at fair value as of December 31, 2021: Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using Quoted Prices in Active Markets Significant Significant In millions December 31, 2021 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Equity funds $ 22 $ — $ 22 $ — Bond/fixed-income funds 36 — 36 — Real estate indirect investments 2 — 2 — Insurance contracts 7 — — 7 Total assets at fair value $ 67 $ — $ 60 $ 7 The table below sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the pension plan level 3 assets for the year ended December 31, 2021: In millions Insurance Balance as of January 1, 2021 $ 8 Purchases, sales and settlements, net (1) Balance as of December 31, 2021 $ 7 The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the pension plan assets at fair value as of December 31, 2020: Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using Quoted Prices in Active Significant Significant In millions December 31, 2020 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Money market funds $ 1 $ — $ 1 $ — Equity funds 25 — 25 — Bond/fixed-income funds 32 — 32 — Real estate indirect investments 6 — 6 — Insurance contracts 8 — — 8 Total assets at fair value $ 72 $ — $ 64 $ 8 The table below sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the pension plan level 3 assets for the year ended December 31, 2020: In millions Insurance Balance as of January 1, 2020 $ 8 Purchases, sales and settlements, net — December 31, 2020 $ 8 Cash Flows Related to Employee Benefit Plans Cash Contributions. In 2022, the Company expects to contribute approximately $3 million to the international pension plans. Estimated Future Benefit Payments. The Company expects to make the following benefit payments, estimated based on the assumptions used to measure the Company's benefit obligation at the end of the year, reflecting past and future service from its pension and postemployment plans: Pension Postemployment In millions Benefits Benefits Year 2022 $ 6 $ 12 2023 $ 6 $ 12 2024 $ 6 $ 12 2025 $ 7 $ 12 2026 $ 7 $ 12 2026 - 2030 $ 39 $ 58 Savings Plans. United States employees and many international employees participate in defined contribution savings plans. These plans generally provide either a specified percent of pay or a matching contribution on participating employees’ voluntary elections. The Company’s matching contributions typically are subject to a maximum percentage or level of compensation. Employee contributions can be made pre-tax, after-tax or a combination thereof. The following table identifies the expense for the United States and International subsidiary savings plans for the years ended December 31: In millions 2021 2020 2018 U.S. savings plan $ 16 $ 19 $ 21 International subsidiary savings plans $ 14 $ 13 $ 16

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities As a portion of Teradata’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 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. 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. 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 revenues or in other income (expense), depending on the nature of the related hedged item. In June 2018, Teradata executed a five-year interest rate swap with a $500 million initial notional amount to hedge the floating interest rate of its Term Loan, as more fully described in Note 12. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risks on future interest payments caused by interest rate changes on its variable rate term loan. The notional amount of the hedge will step-down according to the amortization schedule of the term loan. The notional amount of the hedge was $413 million as of December 31, 2021. The Company performed an initial effectiveness assessment in the third quarter of 2018 on the interest rate swap, and the hedge was determined to be effective. The hedge is being evaluated qualitatively on a quarterly basis for effectiveness. Changes in fair value are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss and periodic settlements of the swap will be recorded in interest expense along with the interest on amounts outstanding under the term loan. The following table identifies the contract notional amount of the Company’s hedging instruments at December 31: In millions 2021 2020 Contract notional amount of foreign exchange forward contracts $ 110 $ 90 Net contract notional amount of foreign exchange forward contracts $ 41 $ 29 Contract notional amount of interest rate swap $ 413 $ 456 All derivatives are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets at their fair value. 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. Refer to Note 11 for disclosures related to the fair value of all derivative assets and liabilities. 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 foreign exchange and interest 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.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings In the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to proceedings, lawsuits, governmental investigations, claims and other matters, including those that relate to the environment, health and safety, employee benefits, export compliance, intellectual property, tax matters and other regulatory compliance and general matters. It is not currently a party to any litigation, nor is it aware of any pending or threatened litigation against it that the Company believes would materially affect its business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows, other than the following. On June 19, 2018, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries filed a lawsuit (the "TD-SAP 1" suit) in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against SAP SE, SAP America, Inc., and SAP Labs, LLC (collectively, "SAP"). In the TD-SAP 1 lawsuit, the Company alleged, among other things, that SAP misappropriated certain of the Company’s trade secrets within the Company’s enterprise data analytics and warehousing products and used such trade secrets to help develop, improve, introduce, and sell one or more competing products. The Company further alleged that SAP employed anticompetitive practices using its substantial market position in the enterprise resource planning applications market to pressure the Company’s customers and prospective customers to use one or more of SAP's competing products and reduce or eliminate customers' and prospective customers' use of the Company's offerings. The Company sought an injunction barring SAP’s alleged conduct, monetary damages, and other available legal and equitable relief. In July 2019, SAP filed patent infringement counterclaims against the Company based on five of SAP’s U.S. patents. On August 31, 2020, the Company filed a second lawsuit against SAP (the "TD-SAP 2" suit) in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, in which the Company alleged infringement by SAP of four of the Company's U.S. patents. On February 16, 2021, SAP filed additional patent infringement counterclaims against the Company in response. On the same day, SAP also filed a lawsuit in Germany (the "TD-SAP 3" suit) for infringement of a single German patent. In November 2021, the district court dismissed the Company’s antitrust claims and most of its trade secret claims in the TD-SAP 1 suit. In December 2021, the Company appealed that decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C. In the meantime, the Company and SAP have entered into a partial settlement agreement that has resulted in full dismissal of all claims and counterclaims in the TD-SAP 2 suit in California and the TD-SAP 3 suit in Germany as well as a stay of all claims and counterclaims remaining in the TD-SAP 1 suit pending resolution of the Company’s appeal. Currently, it is not possible to determine the likelihood of a loss or a reasonably estimated range of loss, if any, pertaining to any of SAP’s remaining patent counterclaims in the TD-SAP 1 lawsuit. Other Contingencies. 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 offerings. The Company has indemnification obligations under its charter and bylaws to its officers and directors, and 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 divestiture activities that include indemnification obligations by the Company. The fair value of these indemnification obligations is typically 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. As such, the Company has generally 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. Concentrations of Risk . The Company is potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk on accounts receivable and financial instruments such as hedging instruments, and cash and cash equivalents. Credit risk includes the risk of nonperformance by counterparties. The maximum potential loss may exceed the amount recognized on the balance sheet. Exposure to credit risk is managed through credit approvals, credit limits, selecting major international financial institutions (as counterparties to hedging transactions) and monitoring procedures. Teradata’s business often involves large transactions with customers, and if one or more of those customers were to default in its obligations under applicable contractual arrangements, the Company could be exposed to potentially significant losses. However, management believes that the reserves for potential losses were adequate at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company is also potentially subject to concentrations of supplier risk. Our hardware components are assembled exclusively by Flex Ltd. ("Flex"). Flex procures a wide variety of components used in the manufacturing process on behalf of the Company. Although many of these components are available from multiple sources, Teradata utilizes preferred supplier relationships to provide more consistent and optimal quality, cost and delivery. Typically, these preferred suppliers maintain alternative processes and/or facilities to ensure continuity of supply. Given the Company’s strategy to outsource its manufacturing activities to Flex and to source certain components from single suppliers, a disruption in production at Flex or at a supplier could impact the timing of customer shipments and/or Teradata’s operating results. In addition, a significant change in the forecasts to any of these preferred suppliers could result in purchase obligations for components that may be in excess of demand.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements Fair value measurements are established utilizing 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, interest rate swaps 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 using derivative financial instruments, specifically, foreign exchange forward contracts. Additionally, in June 2018, Teradata executed a five-year interest rate swap with a $500 million initial notional amount to hedge the floating interest rate on its term-loan. The fair value of these contracts and swaps 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 of unrealized gains for open contracts are recorded in other assets and the fair value of unrealized losses are recorded in other liabilities in the Company's balance sheet. The fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts recorded in other assets and other liabilities at December 31, 2021 and 2020 were not material. Realized gains and losses from the Company’s fair value hedges net of corresponding gains or losses on the underlying exposures were immaterial for years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and subject to fair value disclosure requirements at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were as follows: Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using Quoted Prices Significant Significant Unobservable Inputs In millions Total (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Assets Money market funds at December 31, 2021 $ 148 $ 148 $ — $ — Money market funds at December 31, 2020 $ 16 $ 16 $ — $ — Liabilities Interest rate swap at December 31, 2021 $ 12 $ — $ 12 $ — Interest rate swap at December 31, 2020 $ 27 $ — $ 27 $ —

Debt

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt	Debt In June 2018, Teradata replaced its existing five-year, $400 million revolving credit facility with a new $400 million revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility ends in June 2023, 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. In addition, under the terms of the Credit Facility, Teradata from time to time and subject to certain conditions may increase the lending commitments under the Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount up to an additional $200 million, to the extent that existing or new lenders agree to provide such additional commitments. The outstanding principal amount of the Credit Facility bears interest at a floating rate based upon, at Teradata’s option, a negotiated base rate or a Eurodollar rate plus, in each case, a margin based on Teradata’s leverage ratio. The Credit Facility is unsecured but is guaranteed by certain of Teradata’s material domestic subsidiaries and contains certain representations and warranties, conditions, affirmative, negative and financial covenants, and events of default customary for such facilities. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility, leaving $400 million in additional borrowing capacity available under the Credit Facility. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. Also, in June 2018, Teradata closed on a senior unsecured $500 million five-year term loan. The term loan is payable in quarterly installments, which commenced on June 30, 2019, with 1.25% of the initial principal amount due on each of the first eight payment dates; 2.50% of the initial principal amount due on each of the next four payment dates; 5.0% of the initial principal amount due on each of the next three payment dates; and all remaining principal due on June 11, 2023. The outstanding principal amount of the term loan 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. The term loan principal outstanding was $413 million at December 31, 2021 and $456 million at December 31, 2020. As disclosed in Note 9, Teradata entered into an interest rate swap to hedge the floating interest rate of the term loan. As a result of the swap, Teradata’s fixed rate on the term loan equals 2.86% plus the applicable leverage-based margin as defined in the term loan agreement. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the all-in fixed rates are 4.23% and 4.36%, respectively. Remaining unamortized deferred issuance costs of approximately $1 million were being amortized over the five-year term of the term loan. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. Annual contractual maturities of outstanding principal on the term loan at December 31, 2021, are as follows: In millions 2022 88 2023 325 Total $ 413

Leases

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	Leases Lessee The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," on January 1, 2019, which requires leases with durations greater than twelve months to be recognized on the balance sheet. The Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective approach utilizing the optional transition method. Prior year financial statements were not recast using this approach. The Company elected the package of practical expedients available for expired or existing contracts, which allowed us to carryforward our historical assessments of (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification and (3) initial direct costs. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of additional net lease assets and lease liabilities of approximately $68 million and $66 million, respectively, as of January 1, 2019. The standard did not materially impact our consolidated net earnings or cash flows. The Company leases property and equipment under finance and operating leases. The Company's operating leases primarily consist of automobiles in certain countries and real estate, including office, storage and parking spaces. The duration of these leases range from 2 to 5 years. The Company's finance leases primarily consist of equipment financed for the purpose of delivering services to our customers. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company recorded the related asset and obligation at the present value of lease payments over the term. Many of our leases include variable rental escalation clauses which are recognized when incurred. Some of our leases also include renewal options and/or termination options that are factored into the determination of lease payments and lease terms when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise these options. Lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For real estate leases beginning in 2019 and later, we account for lease components ( e.g. , fixed payments including rent, real estate taxes and insurance costs) separately from the non-lease components ( e.g. , common-area maintenance costs). For automobile leases we account for lease and non-lease components together. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value. However, real estate leases do not typically provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company must estimate the incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement. The incremental borrowing rate used in the calculation of the lease liability is based on the secured rate associated with financed lease obligations for each location of leased property.

Leases	Leases Lessee The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," on January 1, 2019, which requires leases with durations greater than twelve months to be recognized on the balance sheet. The Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective approach utilizing the optional transition method. Prior year financial statements were not recast using this approach. The Company elected the package of practical expedients available for expired or existing contracts, which allowed us to carryforward our historical assessments of (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification and (3) initial direct costs. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of additional net lease assets and lease liabilities of approximately $68 million and $66 million, respectively, as of January 1, 2019. The standard did not materially impact our consolidated net earnings or cash flows. The Company leases property and equipment under finance and operating leases. The Company's operating leases primarily consist of automobiles in certain countries and real estate, including office, storage and parking spaces. The duration of these leases range from 2 to 5 years. The Company's finance leases primarily consist of equipment financed for the purpose of delivering services to our customers. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company recorded the related asset and obligation at the present value of lease payments over the term. Many of our leases include variable rental escalation clauses which are recognized when incurred. Some of our leases also include renewal options and/or termination options that are factored into the determination of lease payments and lease terms when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise these options. Lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For real estate leases beginning in 2019 and later, we account for lease components ( e.g. , fixed payments including rent, real estate taxes and insurance costs) separately from the non-lease components ( e.g. , common-area maintenance costs). For automobile leases we account for lease and non-lease components together. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value. However, real estate leases do not typically provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company must estimate the incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement. The incremental borrowing rate used in the calculation of the lease liability is based on the secured rate associated with financed lease obligations for each location of leased property.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment, Other Supplemental Information and Concentrations	Segment, Other Supplemental Information and Concentrations Teradata manages its business under three geographic regions, which are also the Company’s operating segments: (1) Americas region (North America and Latin America); (2) EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and (3) APJ region (Asia Pacific and Japan). For purposes of discussing results by segment, management excludes the impact of certain items, consistent with the manner by which management evaluates the performance of each segment. This format is useful to investors because it allows analysis and comparability of operating trends. It also includes the same information that is used by Teradata management to make decisions regarding the segments and to assess financial performance. The chief operating decision maker, who is our President and Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the performance of the segments based on revenue and multiple profit measures, including segment gross profit. For management reporting purposes assets are not allocated to the segments. Prior periods have been restated to conform to the current year presentation.

No single customer accounts for more than 10% of the Company's revenue. As of December 31, 2021, the Company is not aware of any significant concentration of business transacted with a particular customer that could, if suddenly eliminated, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations. The Company's hardware components are assembled exclusively by Flex. In addition, the Company utilizes preferred supplier relationships to better ensure more consistent quality, cost, and delivery. There can be no assurances that a disruption in production at Flex or at a supplier would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations. In addition, a significant change in the forecasts to any of these preferred suppliers could result in purchase obligations or components that may be in excess of demand.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Reorganization and Business Transformation	Reorganization and Business Transformation 2018 Plan In June 2018, the Company approved a plan to consolidate certain of its operations, including transitioning its corporate headquarters to San Diego, California from its location in Dayton, Ohio. This plan, which was being executed in connection with Teradata’s comprehensive business transformation, better aligned the Company’s skills and resources to effectively pursue opportunities in the marketplace. The Company recognized costs o f $23 million in 2018, $14 million in 2019 and $1 million in 2020 for employee separation benefits, transition support, facilities lease related costs, outside service, legal and other exit-related costs. The employee separation benefit costs were expensed over the time period that the employees had to work to earn them. All actions were completed as of December 31, 2020 and the Company incurred costs and charges of approximately $38 million related to the plan. The majority of the costs were attributable to the Americas operating segment and recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses with no impact on our segment gross profit. Cash paid related to this plan was $11 million in 2018, $19 million in 2019 and $2 million in 2020. Included in the total costs of $38 million for the plan are non cash expenses of $6 million for accelerated amortization recorded in 2019 for right-of-use assets associated with the lease on its prior corporate headquarters. The remaining lease liability is included in our operating lease obligations as of December 31, 2020 and 2021. 2020 Plan In September 2020, the Company offered a voluntary separation program ("VSP") to certain tenured employees. This global program was generally made available to active employees in good standing who (1) were at least 55 years old as of October 1, 2020 and (2) had at least ten years of service with Teradata. This program was implemented as part of the Company's efforts to improve its cost structure. On November 2, 2020, the Company approved a plan to realign and reduce its workforce and rationalize its real estate footprint. The workforce measures involve involuntary headcount reduction actions. These actions are separate from the VSP. The rationalization of the Company’s real estate footprint involves terminating leases relating to certain of the Company’s offices globally and transitioning impacted employees to a permanent virtual working environment, co-working space or a smaller facility, depending on business need. The Company is continuing to evaluate and implement additional measures that would be expected to result in further cost savings. The Company expects that the costs relating to these workforce reduction and real estate rationalization measures will include one-time employee separation benefits, transition support, outside services and other exit-related costs. The Company incurred total costs and charges related to these actions of $55 million, consisting primarily of the following: • $12 million for employee severance and other employee-related costs, which is separate from the $28 million for costs related to the Voluntary Separation Program, • $7 million charge for facilities lease related costs, and • $8 million for outside service, legal and other associated costs. The Company incurred $42 million of these costs and charges in 2020 with the remaining $13 million costs and charges incurred in 2021 . Cash expenditures related to these actions are $60 million. Approximately $12 million of the cash expenditures relate to cash payments to international employees and did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) due to the Company accounting for its International postemployment benefits under Accounting Standards Codification 712, Compensation - Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits ("ASC 712"), which uses actuarial estimates and defers the immediate recognition of gains or losses. The Company recognized costs o f $13 million ($9 million cash and $4 million non-cash) in 2021 and $42 million ($38 million cash and $4 million non-cash) in 2020 for the VSP, employee separation benefits, facilities lease related costs, outside service, legal and other associated costs. Certain benefits were expensed over the time period that the employees worked to earn them to the extent the required service period extends beyond the nominal period. In 2021, $4 million of these costs were recorded in Costs of revenue, $6 million were recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses and $3 million were recorded in Research and development expenses. In 2020, $10 million of these costs were recorded to Costs of revenue, $25 million were recorded to Selling, general and administrative expenses and $7 million were recorded to Research and development expenses. There was no impact to the segment gross profit. Cash paid related to the plan listed above was $37 million in 2021 and $23 million in 2020. Not included in the table below are approximately $10 million in 2021 and $2 million in 2020 of cash payments for international employees which did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) as noted above. The 2021 activity and the reserves related to the 2020 plan are as follows: In millions Balance at December 31, 2020 Expense accruals Cash payments Balance at VSP $ 16 $ 2 $ (18) $ — Employee severance and other employee-related costs 2 3 (5) — Facilities lease related costs, outside service, legal and other associated costs — 4 (4) — Total $ 18 $ 9 $ (27) $ —

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events On February 9, 2022, Teradata entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement ("ASR") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association ("JPMorgan Chase") to purchase shares of its common stock from JPMorgan Chase for an aggregate purchase price of $250 million. Teradata is purchasing these shares as part of its $1 billion open market share repurchase authorization, under which approximately $913 million will remain available after giving effect to the ASR. Under the ASR, Teradata paid JPMorgan Chase $250 million at the commencement of the agreement and received an initial delivery of approximately 3.9 million shares of Teradata common stock, based on the closing price of the common stock of $50.89 on February 8, 2022. The final number of shares that will be delivered to Teradata under the ASR will be based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average trading prices of Teradata’s common stock during the term of the ASR, less a discount. At settlement, under certain circumstances JPMorgan Chase may be required to deliver additional shares of Teradata common stock to Teradata, or in other circumstances, Teradata may be required to deliver, at its discretion, either shares of its common stock or cash to JPMorgan Chase. Under the ASR, the terms of the transaction are subject to certain adjustments, including adjustments arising if Teradata were to enter into or announce certain specified transactions or take certain corporate actions before the final settlement.

The recurrence of these revenue streams in future periods depends on several factors, including contractual periods and customers' renewal decisions. Perpetual software licenses, hardware and other revenue consists of hardware and perpetual software licenses recognized upfront and revenue related to third party products. Consulting services revenue consists of consulting, implementation and installation services. Prior period amounts have been revised to conform to the current year presentation. At the beginning of the first quarter of 2021, the Company changed its historical presentation for certain components within its revenue and cost categories. To better reflect the strategy and shift in the business, the Company adopted and revised the presentation beginning in the first quarter of 2021, including reclassifying the following amounts: • Managed services revenue of $108 million and managed services costs of $80 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 from Recurring to Consulting services. • Managed services revenue of $111 million and managed services costs of $85 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 from Recurring to Consulting services. • Third party revenue of $34 million and third party costs of $26 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 from Recurring to Perpetual software licenses, hardware and other. • Third party revenue of $34 million and third party costs of $26 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 from Recurring to Perpetual software licenses, hardware and other. This change in presentation does not affect the Company's total revenues, total costs of revenues or overall total gross profit (defined as total revenue less total cost of revenue).
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the period reported. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates and judgments, including those related to allowances for doubtful accounts, the valuation of inventory to net realizable value, impairments of goodwill and other intangibles, stock-based compensation, leases, pension and other postemployment benefits, and income taxes and any changes will be accounted for on a prospective basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("Topic 606") as of January 1, 2018 for all contracts not completed as of the date of adoption. The core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, the Company performs the following five steps: 1. identify the contract with a customer, 2. identify the performance obligations in the contract, 3. determine the transaction price, 4. allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and 5. recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the above five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for goods or services it transfers to the customer. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience, published credit, and financial information pertaining to the customer. Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales, value add, and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a good or service to a customer. Estimates of variable consideration are included in revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur once the uncertainty is resolved. The Company uses the expected value method or the most likely amount method depending on the nature of the variable consideration. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us. If actual results in the future vary from the Company’s estimates, the Company adjusts these estimates in the period such variances become known. Typically, the amount of variable consideration is not material. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using the relative standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. The Company must apply judgment to determine whether promised goods or services are capable of being distinct and distinct within the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met, the promised goods or services are combined with other goods or services and accounted for as a combined performance obligation. Revenue is then recognized either at a point in time or over time depending on our evaluation of when the customer obtains control of the promised goods or services. This evaluation requires significant judgment and the decision to combine a group of contracts or separate the combined or single contract into multiple performance obligations could change the amount of revenue recorded in a given period. In addition, the Company has developed assumptions that require judgment to determine the standalone selling price for each performance obligation identified in the contract. The Company determines the standalone selling price for a good or service by considering multiple factors including, geographies, market conditions, product life cycles, competitive landscape, internal costs, gross margin objectives, purchase volumes and pricing practices. The Company reviews the standalone selling price for each of its performance obligations on a periodic basis and updates it, when appropriate, to ensure that the practices employed reflect the Company’s recent pricing experience. The Company maintains internal controls over the establishment and updates of these estimates, which includes review and approval by the Company’s management. Teradata delivers its platform and services primarily through direct sales channels, as well as through other independent software vendors and distributors and value-added resellers. Standard payment terms may vary based on the country in which the contract is executed, but are generally between 30 days and 90 days. The following is a description of the principal activities and performance obligations from which the Company generates its revenue: • Subscriptions - The Company sells on-premises and cloud subscriptions to its customers through its subscription licenses, cloud and hardware rental offerings. Teradata’s on-premises subscription licenses include a right-to-use license and revenue is recognized upfront at a point in time unless the customer has a contractual right to cancel, where revenue is recognized period-to-period based on the cancellation terms. Subscription licenses are reported within the subscription software licenses caption on the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). The subscription software license support and unspecified software license upgrade rights on a when-and-if-available basis that are included in the subscription are reported within the recurring services and other caption and recognized ratably over the contract term. Cloud arrangements include a right-to-access software license on third party hosted hardware such as the public cloud. Revenue is recognized ratably, or as consumed, over the contract term and included within the recurring services and other caption. Cloud arrangements typically include a minimum fixed amount that is recognized ratably over the contract term and may include an elastic amount for usage above the minimum, which is recognized monthly based on actual utilization. For the Company's hardware rental offering, the Company owns the hardware and typically finances the hardware to more closely align the use of cash with the expected cash inflows from contracts with customers. The revenue for these arrangements is generally recognized straight-line over the term of the contract and is included within the recurring services and other caption. Hardware rentals are generally accounted for as operating leases and considered outside the scope of Topic 606. • Perpetual maintenance and software upgrade rights - Revenue for maintenance and unspecified software upgrade rights on a when-and-if-available basis are recognized straight-line over the term of the contract and included within the recurring services and other caption. • Perpetual software licenses, hardware and other - Revenue for software is generally recognized when the customer has the ability to use and benefit from its right to use the license. Hardware is typically recognized upon delivery once title and risk of loss have been transferred (when control has passed). Other revenue includes the sale of all third-party related products. • Consulting services - The Company accounts for individual services as separate performance obligations if a service is separately identifiable from other items in a combined arrangement and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. Revenue for consulting, managed services, implementation and installation services is recognized as services are provided by measuring progress toward the complete satisfaction of the Company’s obligation. Progress for services that are contracted for at a fixed price is generally measured based on hours incurred as a portion of total estimated hours. Progress for services that are contracted for on a time and materials basis is generally based on hours expended. These input methods ( e.g. hours incurred or expended) of revenue recognition are considered a faithful depiction of our efforts to satisfy services contracts and therefore reflect the transfer of services to a customer under such contracts. Significant Accounting Policies and Practical Expedients The following are the Company’s significant accounting policies not already disclosed elsewhere and practical expedients relating to revenue from contracts with customers: • Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue. • Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as fulfillment cost and are included in cost of revenues. • The Company does not adjust for the effects of a significant financing component if the period between performance and customer payment is one year or less. • The Company expenses the costs to obtain a contract as incurred when the expected amortization period is one year or less. Shipping and Handling. Product shipping and handling are included in cost in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents. All short-term, highly-liquid investments having original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. Teradata establishes provisions for doubtful accounts using expected credit losses methodology and specific provisions for known issues.
Inventories	Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost of service parts is determined using the average cost method. Finished goods inventory is determined using actual cost.
Long-Lived Assets	Long-Lived AssetsProperty and Equipment. Property and equipment, leasehold improvements and rental equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the related assets primarily on a straight-line basis. The Company's estimate of depreciation expense incorporates management assumptions regarding the useful economic lives and residual values of its assets. Equipment is generally depreciated over 3 to 5 years and buildings over 25 to 45 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the life of the lease or the asset, whichever is shorter. Customer rental equipment is typically depreciated over the associated customer rental period, which is typically 3 years.
Capitalized Software	Capitalized Software . Direct development costs associated with internal-use software are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful lives of the resulting software. The costs are capitalized when both the preliminary project stage is completed and it is probable that computer software being developed will be completed and placed in service. Teradata typically amortizes capitalized internal-use software on a straight-line basis over three years beginning when the asset is substantially ready for use.
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets	Valuation of Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets such as property and equipment, acquired intangible assets and internal capitalized software are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. An impairment is calculated based on the present value of future cash flows and an impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than the carrying amount.
Goodwill	Goodwill . Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill amounts are not amortized, but rather are tested for impairment
Warranty	Warranty. Provisions for product warranties are recorded in the period in which the related revenue is recognized. The Company accrues warranty reserves using percentages of revenue to reflect the Company’s historical average warranty claims.
Research and Development Costs	Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs primarily include labor-related costs, contractor fees, and overhead expenses directly related to research and development support.
Leases	Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance, which requires a lessee to account for leases as finance or operating leases. Both types of leases will result in the lessee recognizing a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability on its balance sheet, with differing methodology for income statement and cash flow recognition. For lessors, the standard modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. Entities will classify leases to determine how to recognize lease-related revenue and expense. The Company adopted the new standard as of January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective adoption approach utilizing the optional transition method with prior periods not recast and have elected certain of the practical expedients allowed under the standard.
Pension and Postemployment Benefits	Pension and Postemployment Benefits. The Company accounts for its pension benefit and its non-U.S. postemployment benefit obligations using actuarial models. The measurement of plan obligations was made as of December 31, 2021. Liabilities are computed using the projected unit credit method. The objective under this method is to expense each participant’s benefits under the plan as they accrue, taking into consideration salary increases and the plan’s benefit allocation formula. Thus, the total pension or postemployment benefit to which each participant is expected to become entitled is broken down into units, each associated with a year of past or future credited service.
Foreign Currency	Foreign Currency. Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries that operate in a local currency environment are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates. Income and expense accounts are translated at daily exchange rates prevailing during the period. Adjustments arising from the translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in determining net income.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes. Income tax expense is provided based on income before income taxes in the various jurisdictions in which the Company conducts its business. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and such amounts recognized for tax purposes. These deferred taxes are determined based on the enacted tax rates expected to apply in the periods in which the deferred assets or liabilities are expected to be settled or realized. The Company made an accounting policy election in 2018 related to the 2017 Tax Act to provide for the tax expense related to global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") in the year the tax is incurred. Teradata recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company records valuation allowances related to its deferred income tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred income tax assets will not be realized.
Stock-based Compensation	Stock-based Compensation. Stock-based payments to employees, including restricted shares and restricted share units, are recognized in the financial statements based on their fair value.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share	Earnings (Loss) Per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) 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
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements and Recently Adopted Guidance	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Reference Rate Reform. In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new guidance to provide relief to companies that will be impacted by the expected change in benchmark interest rates, as participating banks will no longer be required to submit London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") quotes by the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority. The new guidance allows companies to, provided the only change to existing contracts are a change to an approved benchmark interest rate, account for modifications as a continuance of the existing contract without additional analysis. For new and existing contracts, companies may elect to apply the amendments as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating this new guidance to determine the impact it may have on our condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. The Company assessed Accounting Standards Updates not listed above and determined that they were not applicable or were not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. Recently Adopted Guidance Accounting for Income Taxes. In December 2019, the FASB issued new guidance to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The new guidance changes various subtopics of accounting for income taxes including, but not limited to, accounting for "hybrid" tax regimes, tax basis step-up in goodwill obtained in a transaction that is not a business combination, intra-period tax allocation exception to incremental approach, ownership changes in investments, interim-period accounting for enacted changes in tax law, and year-to-date loss limitation in interim-period tax accounting. We adopted the guidance in the first quarter of 2021. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
