Business Performance Drivers

Oracle's exceptional performance, marked by organic total revenue and non-GAAP EPS growth exceeding 20% for the first time in over 15 years, is primarily fueled by accelerating momentum across its cloud portfolio. This acceleration is driven by the robust growth of its cloud applications, which are rapidly integrating AI tools to enhance existing offerings and launch new AI-powered SaaS products. Concurrently, the strategic expansion of Oracle's multi-cloud database partnerships has unlocked substantial demand, while the insatiable need for AI infrastructure, evidenced by a $553 billion Remaining Performance Obligation (RPO), continues to outstrip supply. This growth is further amplified by a "halo effect," where the success of AI infrastructure deals is driving increased business for traditional cloud workloads, dedicated regions, and sovereign cloud solutions, underpinned by OCI's cost-efficiency and performance advantages.

• Organic total revenue and non-GAAP EPS grew 20%+ in USD.
• Cloud applications revenue (constant currency) increased 11% to an annualized run rate of $16.1 billion.
• Multi-cloud database revenue surged 531% year-over-year.
• AI infrastructure revenue grew 243% year-over-year.
• Remaining Performance Obligations (RPO) reached $553 billion.
• Cloud applications deferred revenue (constant currency) was up 14%.
• Q3 AI capacity gross margin was 32%, exceeding guidance.

Oracle has strategically positioned itself as a key player in the evolving AI landscape, not as a victim of a "SaaS apocalypse," but as a disruptor. The company is embedding over 1,000 AI agents into its existing applications and launching new AI-powered CX products, such as automated selling and a website generator, which was used for Oracle.com. This approach leverages Oracle's deep industry expertise and mission-critical data gravity to deliver immediate value to customers, differentiating it from niche AI solutions. Significant customer wins against competitors like Workday and SAP, alongside over 2,000 customer go-lives in Q3, underscore the strong adoption of Fusion applications.

Further bolstering its market position, Oracle has achieved global region coverage for its multi-cloud database services, with substantial expansion on AWS, unlocking a vast backlog of demand. The company also innovated its AI infrastructure funding model, securing over $29 billion in contracts through "bring your own hardware" and upfront customer payments, enabling rapid expansion without negative cash flow. Additionally, Oracle's 15% equity stake in TikTok US's independent data operations, along with a board seat, represents a notable strategic investment. The company's sovereign cloud strategy, offering full-stack OCI services in flexible, customer-controlled zones, is proving to be a significant differentiator, addressing growing global demand for data sovereignty and operational control.

Oracle anticipates continued strong performance, projecting to over-deliver on its fiscal year 2026 revenue and earnings targets, and is consistently raising its fiscal year 2027 forecasts. The company remains committed to maintaining its investment-grade credit rating and adhering to the previously announced $50 billion financing envelope for calendar year 2026, having already raised $30 billion through bonds and mandatory convertible preferred stock. Specific CapEx guidance for fiscal year 2027 will be provided after the current fiscal year-end.
