Thursday, August 06, 2009 7:59 AM


(Source: Business Wire)trackingTeradata Corporation (NYSE: TDC), the world's largest company solely focused on data warehousing and enterprise analytics, today reported revenue of $421 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of 7 percent from $455 million in the second quarter of 2008. Revenue decreased 2 percent from the second quarter of 2008, when adjusted for 5 percentage points of negative impact from currency fluctuation.(1)

Gross margin in the second quarter was 55.3 percent, versus 54.7 percent in the second quarter of 2008. Product gross margin declined due to lower volume and foreign currency translation, while service gross margin increased due to higher professional services margin, as Teradata effectively managed expenses while increasing the productivity of the company's professional services resources.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were down $10 million from the second quarter of 2008, while research and development expenses increased $2 million from the prior-year period.

Teradata reported second-quarter net income of $62 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared to net income of $69 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2008.

"Teradata delivered another good quarter, and for the first half of 2009, revenues were up 1 percent in constant currency, and earnings per share were the same as prior year. This was a solid start, considering the economic environment. These results also included increased investments in R&D, market coverage and strategic partnerships, which are key to our future. The entire organization executed well, delivering significant customer wins and expansions, improving gross margins and managing costs," said Mike Koehler, president and chief executive officer of Teradata Corporation.

"In the second quarter, we announced our expanded partnership with SAP and released Teradata 13, a very significant database release in terms of performance boost, new features and functionalities. In addition, we released data warehouse firsts such as storage virtualization and automated multi-temperature data management.

"We continue to advance our technology lead in data warehousing across all of our platforms. We have a strong business model, and we are focused on bringing value to our customers today and for years to come."

Regional Operating Segment Results

Teradata reports its results in three regional operating segments.

Americas

Teradata generated $229 million of revenue in its Americas region in the second quarter of 2009, down 3 percent from $236 million in the second quarter of 2008. Revenue declined 1percent, when adjusted for 2 percentage points of negative impact from currency translation.(1)

Gross margin in the Americas region in the quarter was 58.1 percent, compared to 57.6 percent in the second quarter of 2008. Gross margin in the quarter was higher due to improved professional services gross margin, which benefited from higher utilization rates, lower outside contractor expense and overall cost management.

Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA)

Revenue in Teradata's EMEA region in the second quarter of 2009 was $118 million, down 8 percent from $128 million generated in the second quarter of 2008. Revenue increased 6 percent when adjusted for currency translation, which negatively impacted the revenue comparison in the EMEA region by 14 percentage points.(1)

Gross margin in the EMEA region was 54.2 percent, versus 53.1 percent in the second quarter of 2008. Gross margin in EMEA improved in the second quarter of 2009 due to improved professional services margin, which offset the effects of foreign currency translation and an adverse mix of hardware content and third-party products.

Asia Pacific / Japan (APJ)

Teradata generated $74 million of revenue in its APJ region in the quarter, a 19 percent decrease from $91 million in the second quarter of 2008. The revenue decline in the APJ region was 17 percent, when adjusted for 2 percentage points of negative impact from currency translation.(1)

Gross margin in the APJ region in the quarter was 48.6 percent, compared to 49.5 percent in the second quarter of 2008. Gross margin in the APJ region was lower due to the impact of lower product volume and the resulting adverse mix of product versus services revenues, which was somewhat offset by improved professional services margin.

Operating Income

Second-quarter operating income of $84 million was down from $92 million reported in the second quarter of 2008, as gross margin improvement, lower selling, general and administrative expense and the impact of currency translation were offset by lower revenue and volume, higher research and development expense and incremental investment in new sales territories.

Other Items

"Other Income" declined $2 million from the second quarter of 2008 as interest income was offset by normal recurring fees associated with the company's operational financing activities. The lower interest rate environment negatively impacted interest income, despite Teradata having $271 million more in cash and short-term investments than at the end of the second quarter of 2008.

The effective income tax rate in the second quarter of 2009 was 26.2 percent, versus 26.6 percent in the prior-year period.

Cash Flow

During the second quarter of 2009, Teradata generated $103 million of cash from operating activities, compared to $85 million in the prior-year period. Capital expenditures in the second quarter of 2009 were $20 million, compared to $23 million in the second quarter of 2008. Teradata generated $83 million of free cash flow (cash from operations less capital expenditures and additions to capitalized software)(2) in the second quarter of 2009, versus generating $62 million in the same period in 2008.

During the first six months of 2009, Teradata generated $268 million of cash from operating activities, compared to $228 million in the prior-year period. Capital expenditures in the first half of 2009 were $40 million, compared to $43 million in the same period in 2008. During the first two quarters of 2009, Teradata generated $228 million of free cash flow, versus $185 million in the same period in 2008.

Balance Sheet

Teradata ended the second quarter of 2009 with $638 million in cash, a $67 million increase from March 31, 2009. In addition, the company used approximately $30 million of cash to repurchase approximately 1.4 million shares during the second quarter of 2009. During the first six months of 2009, the company used approximately $50 million to repurchase approximately 2.7 million shares.

Guidance

Although the global economic environment continues to impact capital expenditures by companies, and limits visibility into demand for the foreseeable future, Teradata expects earnings per share to be in the $1.22 to $1.28 range for the full year 2009. For the full year, the company continues to expect selling, general and administrative expenses to be flat to down from 2008. Within this previously discussed expectation, the company expects higher selling expense, as well as higher research and development expense and amortization of capitalized software in the second half of the year, compared to these items in the first half of the year.

2. 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; 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 company 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.
