Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
Teradata Corporation ("Teradata" or the "Company") is furnishing the following information as required under Item 2.02 “Results of Operations and Financial Condition” of Form 8-K. Such information, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
On August 5, 2024, the Company issued a press release setting forth its second quarter of fiscal year 2024 operating results as well as current outlook estimates for the third quarter of 2024 and for the full-year 2024 (the "Earnings Press Release"). A copy of the Earnings Press Release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and hereby incorporated by reference.
The Company also posted supplemental material dated August 5, 2024, on the Investor Relations page of its website at investor.teradata.com. Except as specifically noted herein, information on the Company’s website is not, and will not be deemed to be, a part of this Current Report on Form 8-K or incorporated into any other filings the Company may make with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On August 5, 2024, the Company announced that it has realigned its sales function and has initiated global restructuring and cost reduction actions to optimize operations, reduce non-revenue generating expenses, and drive efficiencies for long-term growth and profitability (the “Restructuring”). The Restructuring is expected to result in a reduction of the Company’s workforce affecting approximately 9% to 10% of the Company’s global workforce. The majority of the actions related to the Restructuring are expected to be completed by the end of 2024, with remaining actions to be completed by the end of 2025.
The Restructuring is expected to result in ongoing annualized cost savings of between $75 to $80 million, the majority of which are expected to be the result of reductions in operating expenses (the “Savings”). The Savings will primarily be initially realized throughout 2024 and 2025. The Company expects to invest a portion of the Savings back into revenue generating growth areas of the Company starting in 2025.
The Company expects that the majority of the costs relating to the Restructuring will include one-time employee separation benefits, transition support, and other employee-related costs. The Company expects that it will incur total charges related to the Restructuring in the range of approximately $20 to $25 million. The Company expects to recognize these charges in 2024 and 2025, with the majority recorded in 2024. Cash expenditures related to these actions are estimated at approximately $45 to $50 million, of which, approximately $30 to $35 million are expected to occur during 2024.
The estimates of the Savings (and any reinvestment thereof), costs, charges, and cash expenditures that the Company expects to incur in connection with the Restructuring, and the timing thereof, are subject to a number of assumptions, including local law requirements in various jurisdictions, and actual amounts may differ materially from the estimates. In addition, the Company may incur other costs and charges not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events that may occur, including in connection with the implementation of the Restructuring.
