PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Teradata Savings Plan

Dayton, Ohio

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Teradata Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2011 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

TERADATA SAVINGS PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

General

The Teradata Savings Plan (the “Plan”) is a defined contribution plan established on October 1, 2007 by the Board of Directors of Teradata Corporation (“Teradata” or the “Company”). The Plan is designed to qualify as a profit-sharing plan with a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. It is also subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

The Plan covers substantially all eligible U.S. employees of the Company (other than certain categories of part-time, temporary and intern employees).

Contributions and Funding

All eligible employees of the Company may defer a portion of their compensation by making tax-deferred contributions, as well as after-tax contributions, to the Plan. Participants may elect to contribute up to fifty percent of their eligible compensation, up to certain Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) limits. Maximum contribution percentage limits are also imposed on the tax-deferred contributions and after-tax contributions made by participants with prior year compensation of $110,000 and over. Annual tax-deferred contributions per participant for the 2011 Plan year were limited to $16,500.

For each dollar contributed by a participant, up to a maximum six percent of compensation, the Company funds an additional matching amount. The employer matching contribution for all participants is one hundred percent of the first four percent of pay contributed by the participant, plus fifty percent of the next two percent of pay.

The Plan allows employees aged 50 and older to elect to make additional catch-up contributions, subject to IRS limits. Catch-up contribution amounts are not eligible for employer matching contributions. The annual limit on catch-up contributions was $5,500 in 2011.

Participants direct their contributions, as well as the Company’s matching contributions, among various investment options, including target date funds, market index funds, actively managed funds, self directed brokerage and the Teradata Unitized Stock Fund, which invests primarily in Teradata Common Stock.

Vesting and Forfeitures

Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings on their contributions. Company matching contributions vest in increments of one-fifth each year, over a five-year period beginning with the participant’s hire date.

Participants become immediately and fully vested in their account (i) upon attainment of age 65, (ii) upon termination of employment due to a “reduction in force,” (iii) in the event of death, or (iv) in the event of total and permanent disability. Upon termination of employment, participants are entitled to full distribution of their contributions and all vested Company matching contributions; all non-vested Company matching contributions are forfeited. These forfeitures are reallocated and used to either reduce future Company matching contributions or pay certain administrative expenses of the Plan. During the Plan year, forfeitures used to offset Company matching contributions were approximately $400,000.

Participant Accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions, Company contributions and Plan earnings. Participants’ accounts are valued on a daily basis. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account balance.

Notes Receivable from Participants

Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance, whichever is less. The loans are collateralized by 50% of the vested balance in the participant’s accounts and bear interest at a fixed rate based on the prime rate in effect on the last day of the preceding month plus 1%, using the prime rate reported by Reuters. The term of the loan may be between one and five years. Principal and interest is paid ratably through bi-weekly payroll deductions. Upon default, participants are considered for tax purposes to have received a distribution and are subject to income taxes on the outstanding amount of the loan at the time of default. Participant loan interest rates are between 4.25% and 9.25%. Loan terms are between one and five years.

Withdrawals and Benefits

Participants may withdraw any employee tax-deferred contributions during their employment in the case of a “hardship” (as defined by the Plan), in the case of Qualified Reservist called to active duty, or in the case of absence from employment due to qualified military service for more than 30 days, and participants may withdraw after-tax employee contributions (plus earnings) for any reason. Participants may not withdraw any Company matching contributions or any earnings on Company matching contributions until they attain age 59 ¹/2 or terminate employment with the Company. Participants may withdraw vested balances upon reaching age 59 ¹/2, or upon termination of employment.

Upon termination of employment, a participant receives a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the vested portion of their account if it is less than $1,000 (unless the participant chooses a direct rollover within 90 days). Terminated participants with more than $1,000 in vested benefits may elect to receive a direct rollover to another tax-qualified plan or IRA, a lump-sum payment or quarterly cash installments, or, if the participant has not attained age 70 ¹/2, may leave the vested benefits within the Plan until reaching age 70 ¹/2. Upon the death of a participant, the participant’s beneficiary shall be eligible to receive a distribution of the participant’s account.

Termination of the Plan

The Company currently has no plans to terminate the Plan; however, the Company reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time by action of the Board of Directors.

Risk and Uncertainties

The Plan provides for various investment options in several investment securities and instruments. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and changes therein. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. Investments in mutual funds and common/collective trusts are valued at the closing net asset values of the funds on the last day of the Plan fiscal year. Teradata Corporation common stock is valued at the last quoted sales price on the New York Stock Exchange on the last business day of the Plan fiscal year.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are reported on the average cost method.

Investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. The Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits present the fair value of the Plan’s investment contract as well as the adjustment of the investment contract from fair value to contract value. The Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is prepared on a contract-value basis.

Notes Receivable from participants

Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued (unpaid) interest. Delinquent loans are treated as distributions based on the terms of the Plan document.

Plan Expenses

A portion of the Plan’s administrative expenses are paid by Teradata.

Payments to Withdrawing Participants

The Plan records payments to withdrawing participants at the time of disbursement.

Rollover Contributions

Participant rollover contributions are included as participant contributions in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Fair Value Measurements. In May 2011, the FASB issued new guidance regarding the measurement and disclosure of fair value. The amendments in this new guidance generally represent clarifications of existing GAAP, but also include some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements will change. This new guidance will result in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The principles that will be changed as a result of this new guidance primarily relate to: measuring the fair value of financial instruments that are managed within a portfolio, the application of premiums and discounts in a fair value measurement, and some additional disclosures about fair value measurements. The adoption of this guidance will primarily impact the Plan’s disclosures, but otherwise is not expected to have a material impact on the Plan’s financial statements.

3. INVESTMENTS

	$	(15,631,567	)

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company follows the accounting standard dealing with fair value measurements for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, wherein a three-tier fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable, quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or quoted prices in less-active markets for identical assets; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Common stocks, mutual funds and money market funds: Values derived from quoted market prices in active markets.

Common/collective trust funds: Valued at the net asset value (“NAV”) of shares held by the Plan at year end, as reported to the Plan by the trustee, which represents the fair value of shares held by the Plan. A fund’s NAV reflects an exit price, is the same for all holders of the fund, and provides the basis for current transactions.

The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Plan’s assets at fair value as of December 31, 2011:


			Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
	December 31, 2011		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (PARTIES-IN-INTEREST)

Fees paid for trustee, third-party administration, and investment advisory services rendered by parties-in-interest totaled $125,652 in 2011.

Related party transactions consisted of loans made to participants and investments in Teradata Corporation Common Stock. At

December 31, 2011 the Plan held 1,067,363 shares of Teradata common stock valued at $51,777,779. At December 31, 2010 the Plan held 989,862 shares of Teradata common stock valued at $40,742,720. Fidelity Investments (“Fidelity”) serves as a manager of certain Plan investments. An affiliate of Fidelity serves as the record keeper for the Plan’s participant data. Another affiliate of Fidelity serves as the trustee of the Plan. Additionally AllianceBernstein Trust Company, LLC is a party in interest serving as custodian of the target date funds. The cash receipts and cash disbursements from these investments constitute related party transactions. None of these related party transactions are prohibited transactions as defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

6. TAX STATUS

The Company has not yet received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service as to the qualified status of the Plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (“the Code”). However, the Plan is substantially identical, in all material respects, to the NCR Savings Plan, which has received such a determination letter, and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code. Therefore, the Company believes that the Plan is qualified and the related Trust is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(a) of the Code. Accordingly, income taxes are not provided for in the accompanying financial statements. Participant contributions, except for those contributions which participants elect to be tax-deferred under Section 401(k), are taxable to the participants in the year their contributions are made.

Participants are liable for federal income taxes relative to their Section 401(k) contributions, the Company matching contributions and the earnings of the Plan when the contributions are distributed to them.

The Plan administrator evaluated the Plan’s tax positions and concluded that there are no uncertain tax positions that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for all Plan years since the Plan’s inception.
