Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

In its third quarter earnings release issued on November 6, 2023, Teradata Corporation ("Teradata" or the "Company") re-affirmed its 2023 Public Cloud ARR guidance range of 53% - 57% (the “Range”). On December 7, 2023, Teradata participated in the Barclays Global Technology Conference (the “Conference”). At the Conference, Claire Bramley, Teradata’s Chief Financial Officer, provided context for the Range by noting elongated deal cycles, including that a transaction in the low eight figures could potentially be pushed out to 2024, which could result in Teradata’s Public Cloud ARR for the 2023 fiscal year ending up in the low end of, or slightly below, the Range. A replay of the webcast of Teradata’s session at the Conference is posted on the Investor Relations page of Teradata’s website at investor.teradata.com. In addition, Teradata will post a transcript of its session at the Conference on its Investor Relations page as soon as it is available.

Teradata is not updating the 2023 financial guidance that it provided in connection with its 2023 third quarter earnings release (including Free Cash Flow, Total Revenue, Non-GAAP EPS, Public Cloud ARR, and Total ARR), but rather is providing the context provided with respect to the Range at the Conference in this Form 8-K. Teradata disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise its prior guidance, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise except as required by law.

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to liability of that section. The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing or document.

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain statements that are forward-looking within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections about our industry, business, and future financial results. Our actual results could differ materially from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in our periodic reports filed with the SEC.
