REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Sept. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Oracle Corporation today announced fiscal 2008 Q1 GAAP earnings per share were up 28% to $0.16, compared to the same quarter last year. First quarter total GAAP revenues were up 26% to $4.5 billion, while quarterly GAAP net income was up 25% to $840 million. Total GAAP software revenues were up 26% to $3.5 billion with GAAP new software license revenues up 35% to $1.1 billion. Database and middleware new license revenues were up 23% and applications new license revenues were up 65%. Services revenues were up 25% to $1.1 billion, compared to the same quarter last year.

First quarter non-GAAP earnings per share were up 27% to $0.22, and non-GAAP net income was up 25% to $1.2 billion, compared to the same quarter last year.
"We reported new software license revenues up 35%, the strongest growth of any quarter in ten years," said Oracle President and CFO, Safra Catz, "and that software sales growth is translating nicely into EPS growth. We have now completed thirteen quarters of our five year EPS growth plan of 20% per year, and we are delivering earnings growth well ahead of that target."
"We continue to take applications market share from SAP," said Oracle President, Charles Phillips. "In Q1 Oracle's applications new license sales grew 65% compared to SAP's new license sales growth rate of 18% in their most recently completed quarter. We like our growth strategy of expanding into high-end industry specific vertical software as opposed to SAP's growth strategy of moving down market to sell software to small companies."
"Our Q1 database and middleware new license sales growth rate of 23% was the highest in seven years," said CEO, Larry Ellison. "Oracle passed IBM to become the number one database company a long time ago. If we continue to grow our middleware software business at the same rate we grew it this quarter, Oracle will challenge IBM for the number one position in middleware by the end of this year."
Q1 Earnings Announcement
Oracle will hold a conference call and web broadcast today to discuss these results at 2:00 p.m. (PDT) / 5:00 p.m. (EDT).

"Safe Harbor" Statement: Statements in this press release relating to Oracle's future plans and prospects are "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) Economic, political and market conditions could adversely affect our revenue growth and profitability through reductions in IT budgets and expenditures. (2) We may fail to achieve our financial forecasts due to such factors as delays or size reductions in transactions, fewer large transactions in a particular quarter, unanticipated fluctuations in currency exchange rates, delays in delivery of new products or releases, or a decline in our renewal rates for software license updates and product support. (3) We cannot assure market acceptance of new products or new versions of existing or acquired products. (4) We have an active acquisition program and our acquisitions may not be successful, may involve unanticipated costs or other integration issues, or may disrupt our existing operations. (5) Periodic changes to our pricing model and sales organization could temporarily disrupt operations and cause a decline or delay in sales. (6) Intense competitive forces demand rapid technological advances and frequent new product introductions, and could require us to reduce prices. A detailed discussion of these factors and other risks that affect our business is contained in our 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. All information set forth in this release is current as of September 20, 2007. Oracle undertakes no duty to update any statement in light of new information or future events.

(1) We compare the percent change in the results from one period to
another period using constant currency disclosure. We present
constant currency information to provide a framework for assessing
how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of
foreign currency rate fluctuations. To present this information,
current and comparative prior period results for entities reporting
in currencies other than United States dollars are converted into
United States dollars at the exchange rate in effect on May 31,
2007, which was the last day of our prior fiscal year, rather than
the actual exchange rates in effect during the respective periods.
The United States dollar weakened relative to major international
currencies in the three months ended August 31, 2007 compared with
the corresponding prior year period, contributing 4 percentage
points of revenue, 4 percentage points of operating expense and 5
percentage points of operating income growth.

we use non-GAAP measures of cash flows on a trailing 4-quarter basis
to analyze cash flow generated from operations. We believe free cash
flow is also useful as one of the bases for comparing our performance
with our competitors. The presentation of non-GAAP free cash flow is
not meant to be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net
income as an indicator of our performance, or as an alternative to
cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity.

investing activities on our cash flow statements presented in

APPENDIX A
ORACLE CORPORATION
Q1 FISCAL 2008 FINANCIAL RESULTS
EXPLANATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
To supplement our financial results presented on a GAAP basis, we use the non-GAAP measures indicated in the table, which exclude certain business combination accounting entries and expenses related to acquisitions as well as other significant expenses including stock-based compensation, that we believe are helpful in understanding our past financial performance and our future results. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures, and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Compensation of our executives is based in part on the performance of our business based on these non-GAAP measures. Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on the following items, as well as the related income tax effects:
-- Support deferred revenue: Business combination accounting rules require
us to account for the fair value of support contracts assumed in
connection with our acquisitions. Because these are typically one-year
contracts, our GAAP revenues for the one-year period subsequent to our
acquisitions do not reflect the full amount of software license updates
and product support revenues on assumed support contracts that would
have otherwise been recorded by the acquired entities. The non-GAAP
adjustment is intended to reflect the full amount of such revenues. We
believe this adjustment is useful to investors as a measure of the
ongoing performance of our business because we have historically
experienced high renewal rates on support contracts, although we cannot
be certain that customers will renew these contracts.
-- Stock-based compensation expenses: We have excluded the effect of
stock-based compensation expenses from our non-GAAP operating expenses
and net income. Although stock-based compensation is a key incentive
offered to our employees, and we believe such compensation contributed
to the revenues earned during the periods presented and also believe it
will contribute to the generation of future period revenues, we
continue to evaluate our business performance excluding stock-based
compensation expenses. Stock-based compensation expenses will recur in
future periods.
-- Amortization of intangible assets expenses: We have excluded the effect
of amortization of intangibles from our non-GAAP operating expenses and
net income. Amortization of intangible assets expense is inconsistent
in amount and frequency and is significantly affected by the timing and
size of our acquisitions. Investors should note that the use of
intangible assets contributed to revenues earned during the periods
presented and will contribute to future period revenues as well.
Amortization expenses will recur in future periods.
-- Acquisition related charges and restructuring expenses: We incurred
significant expenses in connection with acquisitions, which we would
not have otherwise incurred in the periods presented. Acquisition
related charges primarily consist of in-process research and
development expenses, integration-related professional services,
stock-based compensation expenses (in addition to the stock-based
compensation expenses described above) and personnel related expenses
for transitional employees. Stock-based compensation expenses included
in acquisition related charges resulted from unvested options assumed
in acquisitions whose vesting was fully accelerated upon termination of
the employees pursuant to the terms of the options. Restructuring
expenses consist of Oracle employee severance and Oracle duplicate
facility closures in connection with acquisitions. We believe it is
useful for investors to understand the effect of these expenses on our
cost structure. Although acquisition related charges and restructuring
costs are not recurring with respect to past acquisitions, we will
incur these expenses in connection with future acquisitions.
