The impact of currency on ARR is determined by calculating the prior period ending ARR using the current period end currency rates.

*Total Annual Recurring Revenue (“Total ARR”) is defined as the annual contract value for all active and contractually binding term-based contracts at the end of the period, including cloud, recurring AI services, subscriptions, hardware rental, maintenance, and software upgrade rights. The Company believes this is a useful metric to investors as it demonstrates progress toward achieving our strategic objectives as outlined in the Form 10-K and Form 10-Q.

**Public cloud ARR is defined as the annual contract value for all active and contractually binding term-based contracts at the end of a period that are operated in a public cloud environment. The Company believes this is a useful metric to investors as it demonstrates progress toward achieving our strategic objectives as outlined in the Form 10-K and Form 10-Q.

Teradata reports its results in accordance with GAAP. However, as described below, the Company believes that certain non-GAAP measures such as free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, all of which exclude certain items, and which may be reported on a constant currency basis, are useful for investors. Our non-GAAP measures are not meant to be considered in isolation to, 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. Each of our non-GAAP measures do not have a uniform definition under GAAP and therefore, Teradata’s definition may differ from other companies’ definitions of these measures.

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.

Represents the income tax effect of the pre-tax adjustments to reconcile GAAP to Non-GAAP income based on the applicable jurisdictional statutory tax rate of the underlying item, including the $67 million discrete income tax effect of the SAP settlement recorded in the first half of 2026. 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 GAAP effective tax rate and non-GAAP effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026, was 2.1% and 23.3%, respectively, and June 30, 2025, was 30.8% and 19.6%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company’s GAAP effective tax rate and non-GAAP effective tax rate was 21.3% and 24.5%, respectively and June 30, 2025, was 25.4% and 21.6%, respectively.

As described below, the Company believes that free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are useful non-GAAP measures for investors. Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow do not have a uniform definition under GAAP in the United States and therefore, Teradata’s definitions may differ from other companies’ definitions of this measure. Teradata defines free cash flow as cash provided by/used in operating activities, less total capital expenditures and adjusted free cash flow as free cash flow less the gross proceeds from the SAP settlement, plus the non-recurring legal and other expenses incurred in connection with the SAP litigation and resulting settlement, and taxes paid specific to the settlement agreement. Teradata’s management uses free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow to assess the financial performance of the Company and believes they are useful for investors because they relate 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 which can be used for among other things, investments in the Company’s existing businesses, strategic acquisitions, strengthening the Company’s balance sheet, repurchase of Company stock and repay the Company’s debt obligations and adjusted free cash flow adjusts the impact of the SAP settlement. Neither free cash flow or adjusted free cash flow represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since there may be other non-discretionary expenditures that are not deducted from these measures. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, cash flows from operating activities under GAAP.

In HelloNation, Veterinary Experts Drs. Brandon and Paola Beebout Explain How Pet Rehab Relieves Pain and Builds Strength

The article explains how veterinary rehabilitation supports recovery, improves mobility, and helps pets maintain long-term function after injury or illness.

KEARNEY, Neb., Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — What are the real benefits of pet rehabilitation for pets recovering from surgery, injury, or chronic health conditions? HelloNation answers that question in a HelloNation article featuring insights from Veterinary Experts Drs. Brandon and Paola Beebout of Kearney, Nebraska. The article explains how pet rehab combines targeted exercises, therapeutic treatments, and medical oversight to improve healing, restore mobility, and enhance quality of life for animals at every stage of recovery.

The HelloNation article explains that rehabilitation is more than a way to help pets recover after surgery. It describes a personalized process that addresses pain, weakness, balance, and mobility while helping pets regain confidence in their movement. By tailoring rehabilitation plans to each animal’s condition and progress, veterinary teams can support safer, more effective healing and reduce the likelihood of future injuries.

According to the article, pet rehab often includes carefully supervised therapeutic exercises designed to rebuild muscle strength and improve joint function. Activities such as controlled leash walking, range-of-motion exercises, and core strengthening help pets regain movement while protecting healing tissues. The article notes that these exercises are adjusted throughout recovery to match each pet’s changing abilities and medical needs.

The article also describes several supportive therapies that work alongside exercise to improve comfort and healing. Hydrotherapy allows dogs to exercise with less stress on their joints while strengthening muscles and improving endurance. Laser therapy is highlighted as another treatment that can reduce discomfort and support tissue healing. Together, these therapies help pets participate more comfortably in the rehabilitation process while promoting steady progress.

Beyond post-surgical recovery, the HelloNation article explains that rehabilitation can play an important role in managing chronic orthopedic and neurological conditions. Pets living with arthritis, vestibular disease, or other progressive disorders may benefit from exercises that improve balance, coordination, and stability. The article describes how these therapies help many animals maintain independence and enjoy daily activities for longer periods despite ongoing medical challenges.

Veterinary Experts Drs. Brandon and Paola Beebout also emphasize in the article that successful rehabilitation extends beyond appointments at the veterinary clinic. Pet owners become active participants by learning safe techniques to continue prescribed exercises at home. The article explains that this partnership helps reinforce progress made during therapy sessions while reducing the risk of setbacks or re-injury between visits.

The HelloNation article further notes that regular monitoring allows rehabilitation plans to evolve as pets improve. Adjustments to exercise intensity, treatment frequency, and therapeutic goals ensure that each stage of recovery reflects the pet’s current condition rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach. This individualized care helps maximize both comfort and long-term function.

Throughout the article, Veterinary Experts Drs. Brandon and Paola Beebout demonstrate how pet rehab serves a wide range of patients, from animals recovering after orthopedic surgery to those living with chronic disease. The article concludes that combining medical supervision with customized therapy and owner involvement creates stronger outcomes by helping pets regain mobility, manage pain, and maintain healthier, more active lives.

Chainguard Joins AWS Security Hub Extended as Supply Chain Partner

Chainguard Libraries enables AWS customers to protect open source dependencies with malware-free packages rebuilt from verified source

KIRKLAND, Wash., Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Chainguard, the trusted source for open source, today announced its availability through AWS Security Hub Extended as a Partner in the new Supply Chain category. Through AWS Security Hub Extended, customers can access Chainguard Libraries to help protect against software supply chain threats by replacing public open source dependencies with malware-free, secure-by-default alternatives. This creates a simpler path to reducing software supply chain risk by integrating trusted open source software directly into customers’ existing Amazon Web Services (AWS) security operations workflows.

Addressing a growing attack surface in open source software

As AI-assisted attacks continue to increase in frequency and sophistication, organizations face growing risk from compromised open source packages entering development environments. Tools that scan packages at build or runtime are not designed to keep up with the threat. More than 98% of malware ships as a pre-built package with no matching source code — a malicious version goes live, gets pulled into builds around the world within hours, and the damage is done well before any scanner flags it. Chainguard Libraries secures dependencies before they enter customer environments, helping teams move from reactive detection to proactive prevention. Instead of pulling packages directly from public repositories, organizations consume open source packages rebuilt from verified source code in the Chainguard Factory, the company’s isolated build environment. This approach helps prevent malicious packages from reaching developers, CI/CD pipelines, and production systems.

“Open source is the foundation the world’s software is built on. When that ecosystem gets compromised, the blast radius is enormous,” said Patrick Donahue, Senior Vice President of Product, Chainguard. “AWS adding us as a partner for supply chain security with the Extended plan is a real signal that the industry is treating this problem with the seriousness it deserves. Chainguard delivers that protection to customers with open source that’s trustworthy by default.”

Chainguard’s inclusion in AWS Security Hub Extended allows AWS customers to:

Purchase Chainguard Libraries through their existing AWS contract with no long-term commitment and Enterprise Discount Program (EDP) discounts automatically applied;Reduce procurement complexity while preserving direct access to each provider’s domain expertise by consolidating solution usage into one bill;View centralized findings based on the Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework (OCSF) alongside AWS and partner security findings within Security Hub;And receive unified Level 1 from AWS for Enterprise Support customers.

Chainguard’s role in AWS Security Hub Extended

Through AWS Security Hub Extended, Chainguard Libraries serves as a malware-free catalog of language dependencies, replacing reliance on public registries like PyPI, Maven Central, and npm. Every package is rebuilt from verified source in Chainguard’s SLSA Level 3 build environment and delivered with signed provenance and SBOMs. By preventing malicious packages from entering customer environments and reducing exposure to known Python vulnerabilities, Chainguard helps organizations strengthen software supply chain security while maintaining developer productivity.

AWS customers can access Chainguard Libraries through AWS Security Hub Extended. Log into the AWS Security Hub console and select the Extended plan. Choose Chainguard and follow the guided onboarding experience to subscribe and configure Chainguard Libraries within your environment.
