Oracle Reports GAAP EPS of $0.51; Non-GAAP EPS of $0.63

Cloud SAAS and PAAS Revenues Up 34% in U.S. Dollars and Up 39% in Constant Currency


/EINPresswire.com/ -- REDWOOD SHORES, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 12/16/15 -- Oracle Corporation (NYSE: ORCL) today announced fiscal 2016 Q2 results. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to foreign currencies had a significant impact on results in the quarter. Total Revenues were $9.0 billion, down 6% in U.S. dollars and unchanged in constant currency. Cloud plus On-Premise Software Revenues were $7.0 billion, down 4% in U.S. dollars and up 2% in constant currency. Total Cloud Revenues were $649 million, up 26% in U.S. dollars and up 31% in constant currency. Cloud software as a service (SaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS) revenues were $484 million, up 34% in U.S. dollars and up 39% in constant currency. Cloud infrastructure as a service (IaaS) revenues were $165 million, up 7% in U.S. dollars and up 11% in constant currency. Total On-Premise Software Revenues were $6.4 billion, down 7% in U.S. dollars and unchanged in constant currency. Total Hardware Revenues were $1.1 billion, down 16% in U.S. dollars and down 10% in constant currency. Total Services Revenues were $861 million, down 8% in U.S. dollars and unchanged in constant currency.

Operating Income was $3.0 billion and Operating Margin was 33%. Non-GAAP Operating Income was $3.7 billion and non-GAAP Operating Margin was 41%. Net Income was $2.2 billion while non-GAAP Net Income was $2.7 billion. Earnings Per Share was $0.51, while non-GAAP Earnings Per Share was $0.63. Without the impact of the U.S. dollar strengthening compared to foreign currencies, Oracle's reported GAAP Earnings Per Share would have been 5 cents higher and non-GAAP Earnings Per Share would have been 6 cents higher.

Short-term deferred revenues were $7.0 billion, up 3% in U.S. dollars and up 9% in constant currency compared with a year ago. Operating cash flow on a trailing twelve-month basis was $12.9 billion.

"We're very pleased with our non-GAAP EPS of $0.63, beating the mid-point of guidance by 4 cents despite a stronger than expected currency headwind," said Oracle CEO, Safra Catz. "We grew our SaaS and PaaS revenue 38% in constant dollars this past quarter, and we expect that revenue growth rate to accelerate to nearly 50% in Q3 and close to 60% in Q4. This rapid increase in our cloud revenue will help drive our SaaS and PaaS cloud gross margins from 43% in Q2 to approaching 60% in Q4 and drive significant EPS growth in Q4."

"It was a very strong growth quarter for our cloud business, with SaaS and PaaS bookings up 75% in constant currency and billings up 68% in U.S. dollars," said Oracle CEO, Mark Hurd. "We did 100 Fusion HCM deals and over 300 Fusion ERP deals in the quarter. We now have more than 1,500 ERP customers in the cloud -- that's at least ten times more ERP customers than Workday."

"We are still on-target to sell and book more than $1.5 billion of new SaaS and PaaS business this fiscal year," said Oracle Executive Chairman and CTO Larry Ellison. "That is considerably more SaaS and PaaS new business than any other cloud services provider including salesforce.com."

The Board of Directors also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share of outstanding common stock. This dividend will be paid to stockholders of record as of the close of business on January 6, 2016, with a payment date of January 27, 2016.

"Safe Harbor" Statement: Statements in this press release relating to Oracle's future plans, expectations, beliefs, intentions and prospects, including statements regarding our expectations of future growth in our SaaS and PaaS gross margins, revenues, EPS and bookings; and the timing of such growth 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, geopolitical and market conditions, including the continued slow economic recovery in Europe, parts of the U.S. and other parts of the world, 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. (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, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, delays in delivery of new products or releases or a decline in our renewal rates for contracts. (3) Our cloud computing strategy, including our Cloud SaaS, PaaS, IaaS and Database as a Service offerings, may not be successful. (4) If we are unable to develop new or sufficiently differentiated products and services, or to enhance and improve our products and support services in a timely manner or to position and/or price our products and services to meet market demand, customers may not buy new software licenses, cloud software subscriptions or hardware systems products or purchase or renew support contracts. (5) Our international sales and operations subject us to additional risks that can adversely affect our operating results, including risks relating to foreign currency gains and losses. (6) If the security measures for our software, hardware, services or Oracle Cloud offerings are compromised or subject to a successful cyber-attack, or if such offerings contain significant coding, manufacturing or configuration errors, we may experience reputational harm, legal claims and financial exposure. (7) 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. 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.

(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
    rates in effect on May 31, 2015, which was the last day of our prior
    fiscal year, rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the
    respective periods. Movements in international currencies relative to
    the United States dollar during the three months ended November 30, 2015
    compared with the corresponding prior year period decreased our revenues
    by 6 percentage points, operating expenses by 5 percentage points and
    operating income by 9 percentage points.

(1) This presentation includes non-GAAP measures. Our non-GAAP 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.
    For a detailed  explanation  of the adjustments made to comparable GAAP
    measures, the reasons why management uses these measures, the usefulness
    of these measures and the material limitations on the usefulness of
    these measures, please see Appendix A.

(2) 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
    rates in effect on May 31, 2015, which was the last day of our prior
    fiscal year, rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the
    respective periods.

(4) Estimated future annual amortization expense related to intangible
    assets as of November 30, 2015 was as follows:

    Remainder of Fiscal 2016 $   757
    Fiscal 2017                1,005
    Fiscal 2018                  858

                             =======

(5) Income tax effects were calculated reflecting an effective GAAP tax rate
    of 17.6% and 23.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 and 2015,
    respectively, and an effective non-GAAP tax rate of 20.4% and 24.3% in
    the second quarter of fiscal 2016 and 2015, respectively. The
    differences between our GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates in the second
    quarter of fiscal 2016 and 2015 were primarily due to the net tax
    effects of acquisition related items, including the tax effects of
    amortization of intangible assets.

(1) This presentation includes non-GAAP measures. Our non-GAAP 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.
    For a detailed explanation of the adjustments made to comparable GAAP
    measures, the reasons why management uses these measures, the usefulness
    of these measures and the material limitations on the usefulness of
    these measures, please see Appendix A.

(2) 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
    rates in effect on May 31, 2015, which was the last day of our prior
    fiscal year, rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the
    respective periods.

(4) Estimated future annual amortization expense related to intangible
    assets as of November 30, 2015 was as follows:

    Remainder of Fiscal 2016 $   757
    Fiscal 2017                1,005
    Fiscal 2018                  858

                             =======

(5) Income tax effects were calculated reflecting an effective GAAP tax rate
    of 20.8% and 21.7% in the first half of fiscal 2016 and 2015,
    respectively, and an effective non-GAAP tax rate of 22.6% and 23.0% in
    the first half of fiscal 2016 and 2015, respectively. The differences
    between our GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates in the first half of fiscal 2016
    and 2015 were primarily due to the net tax effects of acquisition
    related items, including the tax effects of amortization of intangible
    assets.

(1) To supplement our statements of cash flows presented on a GAAP basis, 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.

(1) The sum of the quarterly information presented may vary from the year-
    to-date information presented due to rounding.

(2) 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
    rates in effect on May 31, 2015 and 2014 for the fiscal 2016 and fiscal
    2015 constant currency growth rate calculations presented, respectively,
    rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the respective
    periods.

                             ORACLE CORPORATION
                      Q2 FISCAL 2016 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 tables, 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:

  • Cloud software as a service and platform as a service, software license updates and product support and hardware support deferred revenues: Business combination accounting rules require us to account for the fair values of cloud software as a service and platform as a service contracts, software license updates and product support contracts and hardware support contracts assumed in connection with our acquisitions. Because these contracts are generally one year in duration, our GAAP revenues generally for the one year period subsequent to our acquisition of a business do not reflect the full amount of revenues on these assumed cloud and support contracts that would have otherwise been recorded by the acquired entity. The non-GAAP adjustment to our cloud software as a service and platform as a service revenues, software license updates and product support revenues and hardware support revenues is intended to include, and thus reflect, the full amount of such revenues. We believe the adjustment to these revenues is useful to investors as a measure of the ongoing performance of our business. We have historically experienced high renewal rates on our software license updates and product support contracts and our objective is to increase the renewal rates on acquired and new cloud software as a service and platform as a service and hardware support contracts; however, we cannot be certain that our customers will renew our cloud software as a service and platform as a service contracts, software license updates and product support contracts or our hardware support contracts.

  • Stock-based compensation expenses: We have excluded the effect of stock-based compensation expenses from our non-GAAP operating expenses and net income measures. 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: We have excluded the effect of amortization of intangible assets from our non-GAAP operating expenses and net income measures. Amortization of intangible assets 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 our revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to our future period revenues as well. Amortization of intangible assets will recur in future periods.

  • Acquisition related and other expenses; and restructuring expenses: We have excluded the effect of acquisition related and other expenses and the effect of restructuring expenses from our non-GAAP operating expenses and net income measures. We incurred significant expenses in connection with our acquisitions and also incurred certain other operating expenses or income, which we generally would not have otherwise incurred in the periods presented as a part of our continuing operations. Acquisition related and other expenses consist of personnel related costs for transitional employees, other acquired employee related costs, stock-based compensation expenses (in addition to the stock-based compensation expenses described above), integration related professional services, certain business combination adjustments including adjustments after the measurement period has ended and certain other operating items, net. Substantially all of the stock-based compensation expenses included in acquisition related and other expenses resulted from unvested options assumed in acquisitions whose vesting was fully accelerated upon termination of the employees pursuant to the original terms of those options. Restructuring expenses consist of employee severance and other exit costs. We believe it is useful for investors to understand the effects of these items on our total operating expenses. Although acquisition related expenses and restructuring expenses generally diminish over time with respect to past acquisitions, we generally will incur these expenses in connection with any future acquisitions.
