Q1 FY19 GAAP EPS UP 13% TO $0.57 and NON-GAAP EPS UP 18% TO $0.71
Fusion Cloud ERP Customer Count Nearly 5,500, NetSuite Cloud ERP Customer Count Over 15,000
Redwood Shores, Calif.—Sep 17, 2018
Oracle Corporation (NYSE: ORCL) today announced fiscal 2019 Q1 results. Total Revenues were $9.2 billion, up 1% in U.S. dollars and up 2% in constant currency, compared to Q1 last year. Total Cloud Services and License Support plus Cloud License and On-Premise License revenues were up 2% to $7.5 billion. Cloud Services and License Support revenues were $6.6 billion, while Cloud License and On-Premise License revenues were $867 million. Without the strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to foreign currencies, Oracle’s reported GAAP and non-GAAP Total Revenues would have been $66 million higher, and Earnings Per Share would have been 1 cent higher.
GAAP Operating Income was up 1% to $2.8 billion and GAAP Operating Margin was 30%. Non-GAAP Operating Income was up 1% to $3.8 billion and non-GAAP Operating Margin was 41%. GAAP Net Income was up 6% to $2.3 billion and non-GAAP Net Income was up 10% to $2.8 billion. GAAP Earnings Per Share was up 13% to $0.57 while non-GAAP Earnings Per Share was up 18% to $0.71.
Short-term deferred revenues were up 2% to $10.3 billion compared to a year ago. Operating Cash Flow was up 5% to $15.5 billion during the trailing twelve months.
“We are off to an excellent start with Q1 non-GAAP earnings per share growing 19% in constant currency,” said Oracle CEO, Safra Catz. “That strong earnings per share growth rate increases my confidence that we will deliver on another fiscal year of double-digit non-GAAP earnings per share growth.”
“The vast majority of ERP applications running in the cloud are either Oracle Fusion or Oracle NetSuite systems,” said Oracle CEO, Mark Hurd. “In the first quarter, we increased our market share as customers continued to buy Oracle Fusion ERP to replace their existing SAP and Workday ERP systems. The Oracle Fusion ERP customer count is now nearly 5,500, while the NetSuite ERP customer count is over 15,000. Virtually every analyst ranks Oracle as the market leader in cloud ERP.”
“The Oracle Autonomous Database is now available on our second generation, highly-secure “Bare-Metal” cloud infrastructure,” said Oracle CTO, Larry Ellison. “Oracle’s Autonomous Database is faster, easier-to-use, more reliable, more secure and much lower cost than Amazon’s databases. And Oracle is the only database that can automatically patch itself while running to protect your data from data theft. These are just some of the reasons why Amazon uses the Oracle database to run its business.”
The Board of Directors increased the authorization for share repurchases by $12.0 billion. The Board of Directors also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.19 per share of outstanding common stock. This dividend will be paid to stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 16, 2018, with a payment date of October 30, 2018.

“Safe Harbor” Statement
Statements in this press release relating to Oracle's future plans, expectations, beliefs, intentions and prospects, including statements regarding the growth of our non-GAAP EPS are all “forward-looking statements” and are subject to material risks and uncertainties. Many factors could affect our current expectations and our actual results, and could cause actual results to differ materially. We presently consider the following to be among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations: (1) Our cloud strategy, including our Oracle Software as a Service, Platform as a Service, Infrastructure as a Service and Data as a Service offerings, may not be successful. (2) If we are unable to develop new or sufficiently differentiated products and services, integrate acquired products and services, or enhance and improve our existing products and support services in a timely manner, or price our products and services to meet market demand, customers may not purchase or subscribe to our software, hardware or cloud offerings or renew software support, hardware support or cloud subscriptions contracts. (3) Enterprise customers rely on our cloud, license and hardware offerings and related services to run their businesses and significant coding, manufacturing or configuration errors in our cloud, license and hardware offerings and related services could expose us to product liability, performance and warranty claims, as well as cause significant harm to our brand and reputation, which could impact our future sales. (4) If the security measures for our products and services are compromised and as a result, our customers’ data or our IT systems are accessed improperly, made unavailable, or improperly modified, our products and services may be perceived as vulnerable, our brand and reputation could be damaged and we may experience legal claims and reduced sales. (5) Our business practices with respect to data could give rise to operational interruption, liabilities or reputational harm as a result of governmental regulation, legal requirements or industry standards relating to consumer privacy and data protection. (6) Economic, political and market conditions can adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, including our revenue growth and profitability, which in turn could adversely affect our stock price. (7) Our international sales and operations subject us to additional risks that can adversely affect our operating results. (8) We have a selective and active acquisition program and our acquisitions may not be successful, may involve unanticipated costs or other integration issues or may disrupt our existing operations. A detailed discussion of these factors and other risks that affect our business is contained in our U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings, including our most recent reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, particularly under the heading “Risk Factors.” Copies of these filings are available online from the SEC or by contacting Oracle Corporation’s Investor Relations Department at (650) 506-4073 or by clicking on SEC Filings on Oracle’s Investor Relations website at http://www.oracle.com/investor.
