What's Driving TDC's Business? Latest 10-Q Breakdown
AI-extracted from TERADATA CORP /DE/'s 10-Q filed 2026-05-06 — Q1 FY2026 (quarter ended March 31, 2026). Every figure is machine-verified against the filing text on SEC EDGAR.
Q1 revenue grew 6% to $444M driven by 12% recurring revenue growth, but net operating loss of $36M was offset by $480M SAP litigation settlement.
Biggest Revenue Drivers
Total revenue: $444M+6% YoY
Growth from higher annual upfront software subscription revenue and public cloud revenue growth, offset by on-premises erosions and customer migrations.
Lower order performance from the second half of 2025.
Minimal perpetual license activity as company focuses on subscription and cloud models.
Largest Expense Items
Investments in Public Cloud and AI-related technology opportunities, offset in part by cost reduction initiatives.
Higher subscription software costs offset by improved Public Cloud margins and consulting cost reductions.
Margins: Gross margin improved to 62.2% from 59.3%, primarily due to greater mix of recurring revenue offsetting unfavorable on-premises deal mix. Operating margin deteriorated to -8.1% from +15.8% due to $121M in SAP settlement legal fees.
Watch Items from the Filing
- SAP litigation settlement of $480M gross received in Q1 2026 created non-recurring $280M after-tax benefit, masking underlying $36M operating loss in core business.
- Public Cloud ARR growth of 13% to $686M is healthy, but offset by 2% decline in Subscription ARR and 19% decline in Maintenance ARR due to customer migrations.
- Total ARR grew only 3% to $1.492B; core business shows modest growth amid macroeconomic uncertainty, elongated customer decision cycles, and staged purchasing decisions.
- Operating leverage challenged with SG&A at 54.1% of revenue and R&D at 16.2%, totaling 70.3% operating expense ratio despite cost reduction efforts from 2024 restructuring.

AI Insight: TDC Financial Trends
Q1 2026 revenue jumped to $444M but operating income turned negative, masking a massive one-time net income gain that distorts underlying operational weakness.
• Revenue grew 6.5% YoY to $444M in Q1 2026, first material quarterly increase after 18 months of mid-$400M range.
• Operating margin collapsed to -8.1% in Q1 2026 from +15.8% in Q1 2025; operating income swung from +$66M to -$36M.
• Total debt declined steadily from $492M to $449M over 10 quarters; leverage ratio compressed meaningfully despite equity volatility.
• Operating cash flow surged to $401M in Q1 2026 vs. $8M in prior-year quarter; Q4 2025 also showed $160M, suggesting seasonal strength or asset sales.
⚠ Operating income turned -$36M in Q1 2026; $335M net income appears anomalous (likely one-time gain), not reflective of core profitability.
⚠ Equity surged 253% from $75M (Q2 2024) to $557M (Q1 2026); magnitude and timing suggest significant capital event or revaluation.
AI Insight: TDC Ratio Trends
