Oracle Announces Fiscal 2021 Second Quarter Financial Results

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Dec. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle Corporation (NYSE: ORCL) today announced fiscal 2021 Q2 results. Total quarterly revenues were up 2% year-over-year to $9.8 billion. Cloud services and license support revenues were up 4% to $7.1 billion. Cloud license and on-premise license revenues were down 3% to $1.1 billion.

Q2 GAAP operating income was up 13% to $3.6 billion and GAAP operating margin was 37%. Non-GAAP operating income was up 14% to $4.6 billion and non-GAAP operating margin was 47%. GAAP net income was up 6% to $2.4 billion, and non-GAAP net income was up 9% to $3.2 billion. GAAP earnings per share was up 16% to $0.80, while non-GAAP earnings per share was up 19% to $1.06.

Short-term deferred revenues were $8.1 billion. Operating cash flow was $14.0 billion during the trailing twelve months.

"Our highly profitable multi-billion dollar Fusion and NetSuite Cloud ERP applications businesses grew revenue 33% and 21% respectively in Q2," said Oracle CEO, Safra Catz. "These two strategic cloud applications businesses are major contributors to Oracle's increased operating earnings and consistent earnings per share growth. We expect this rapid market share and revenue growth trend to continue as both Gartner and IDC rank Oracle's ERP suite number one in the cloud."

"Oracle's Gen2 Cloud Infrastructure is adding customers and growing revenue at a rate well in excess of 100% per year," said Oracle Chairman and CTO, Larry Ellison. "Demand for our Gen2 Cloud Infrastructure is exceeding our plan and we are opening new datacenters as fast as we can. Oracle opened 13 additional regional datacenters in 2020 to bring our total to 29 regional datacenters worldwide, more than AWS."

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) The COVID-19 pandemic has affected how we and our customers are operating our respective businesses, and the duration and extent to which this will impact our future results of operations and our overall financial performance remains uncertain. (2) Our success depends upon our ability to develop new products and services, integrate acquired products and services and enhance our existing products and services. (3) Our cloud strategy, including our Oracle Cloud Software-as-a-Service and Infrastructure-as-a-Service offerings, may adversely affect our revenues and profitability. (4) We might experience significant coding, manufacturing or configuration errors in our cloud, license and hardware offerings. (5) If the security measures for our products and services are compromised and as a result, our data, 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, the IT services we provide to our customers could be disrupted, and customers may stop using our products and services, all of which could reduce our revenue and earnings, increase our expenses and expose us to legal claims and regulatory actions. (6) 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 privacy and data protection. (7) 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. (8) If we are unable to compete effectively, the results of operations and prospects for our business could be harmed. (9) Our international sales and operations subject us to additional risks that can adversely affect our operating results. (10) Acquisitions present many risks and we may not achieve the financial and strategic goals that were contemplated at the time of a transaction. 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."

          (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.

                   Q2 FISCAL 2021 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 services and license support revenues:
                      Business combination accounting rules require us to
                      account for the fair values of cloud services and
                      license support contracts assumed in connection
                      with our acquisitions. The non-GAAP adjustments to
                      our cloud services and license support revenues are
                      intended to include, and thus reflect, the full
                      amount of such revenues. We believe the adjustments
                      to these revenues are useful to investors as a
                      measure of the ongoing performance of our business
                      as we generally expect to experience high renewal
                      rates for these contracts at their stated values
                      during the post combination periods.

                     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 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 primarily
                      consist of personnel related costs for transitional
                      and certain other employees, certain business
                      combination adjustments including adjustments after
                      the measurement period has ended and certain other
                      operating items, net. 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 and other
                      expenses and restructuring expenses generally
                      diminish over time with respect to past
                      acquisitions and/or strategic initiatives, we
                      generally will incur these expenses in connection
                      with any future acquisitions and/or strategic
                      initiatives.
