Teradata Reports First Quarter 2019 Financial Results

0
Sponsored by Businesswire

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

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

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

Gross Margin

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

Operating Income

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

Income Taxes

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

Cash Flow

During the first quarter of 2019, Teradata generated $49 million of cash
from operating activities compared to $184 million in the same period of
2018. During the quarter, Teradata used $16 million for capital
expenditures and additions to capitalized software development costs,
versus using $28 million in the first quarter of 2018. Teradata’s 2019
first-quarter free cash flow was $33 million, compared to $156 million
in the first quarter of 2018(3). The company used
approximately $29 million of cash in the first quarter of 2019 related
to reorganizing and restructuring its operations and go-to-market
functions to align to its strategy, reducing free cash flow.

Balance Sheet

Teradata ended the first quarter 2019 with $723 million in cash. During
the first quarter of 2019, Teradata repurchased 1.2 million shares of
the Company’s common stock for approximately $58 million. At the end of
the first quarter, Teradata had approximately $230 million of Board
authorization remaining for share repurchases.

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

Guidance

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

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

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

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

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

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

Earnings Conference Call

A conference call is scheduled today at 2:00 p.m. PT to discuss the
Company’s 2019 first-quarter results. Access to the conference call, as
well as a replay of the conference call, is available on Teradata’s

Supplemental Financial Information

Additional information regarding Teradata’s operating results is
provided below as well as on Teradata’s website at investor.teradata.com.

1.    

The impact of currency is determined by calculating the
prior-period results using the current-year monthly average
currency rates (except for currency impact on ARR which is
calculated using month-end rates). See the foreign currency
fluctuation schedule on the Investor Relations page of the
Company’s web site at investor.teradata.com,
which is used to determine revenue on a constant currency (“CC”)
basis.

2.     Teradata reports its results in accordance with GAAP. However, as
described below, the Company believes that certain non-GAAP measures
such as non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP
net income, and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, or EPS, all of
which exclude certain items (as well as free cash flow) are useful
for investors. Our non-GAAP measures are not meant to be considered
in isolation or as substitutes for, or superior to, results
determined in accordance with GAAP, and should be read only in
conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements
prepared in accordance with GAAP.
 
The following tables reconcile Teradata’s actual and projected
results and EPS under GAAP to the Company’s actual and projected
non-GAAP results and EPS for the periods presented, which exclude
certain specified items. Our management internally uses supplemental
non-GAAP financial measures, such as gross profit, operating income,
net income and EPS, excluding certain items, to understand, manage
and evaluate our business and support operating decisions on a
regular basis. The Company believes such non-GAAP financial measures
(1) provide useful information to investors regarding the underlying
business trends and performance of the Company’s ongoing operations,
(2) are useful for period-over-period comparisons of such operations
and results, that may be more easily compared to peer companies and
allow investors a view of the Company’s operating results excluding
stock-based compensation expense and special items, (3) provide
useful information to management and investors regarding present and
future business trends, and (4) provide consistency and
comparability with past reports and projections of future results.

reconcile GAAP to Non-GAAP income based on the applicable
jurisdictional statutory tax rate of the underlying item in addition
to the tax impact for U.S. tax reform. Including the income tax
effect assists investors in understanding the tax provision
associated with those adjustments and the effective tax rate related
to the underlying business and performance of the Company’s ongoing
operations. As a result of these adjustments, the Company’s non-GAAP
effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2019 was 27.8% and 25.8%
in the first quarter of 2018.
 

 

**

Represents the impact to earnings per share as a result of moving

3.     As described below, the Company believes that free cash flow is a
useful non-GAAP measure for investors. Teradata defines free cash
flow as cash provided/used by operating activities less capital
expenditures for property and equipment, and additions to
capitalized software. Free cash flow does not have a uniform
definition under GAAP and therefore, Teradata’s definition may
differ from other companies’ definitions of this measure. Teradata’s
management uses free cash flow to assess the financial performance
of the Company and believes it is useful for investors because it
relates the operating cash flow of the Company to the capital that
is spent to continue and improve business operations. In particular,
free cash flow indicates the amount of cash generated after capital
expenditures for, among other things, investment in the Company’s
existing businesses, strategic acquisitions, strengthening the
Company’s balance sheet, repurchase of the Company’s stock and
repayment of the Company’s debt obligations, if any. Free cash flow
does not represent the residual cash flow available for
discretionary expenditures since there may be other nondiscretionary
expenditures that are not deducted from the measure. This non-GAAP
measure is not meant to be considered in isolation, as a substitute
for, or superior to, results determined in accordance with GAAP, and
should be read only in conjunction with our condensed consolidated
financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
 
      (in millions)     For the Three Months
ended March 31
2019     2018
 
Cash provided by operating activities (GAAP) $ 49 $ 184

Less capital expenditures for:

Additions to capitalized software   (1 )   (2 )
Total capital expenditures   (16 )   (28 )
Free Cash Flow (non-GAAP measure) $ 33   $ 156  
 
      Teradata used $29 million of cash in the first quarter of 2019
related to reorganizing and restructuring its operations and its
go-to-market functions to align to its strategy.
