ORACLE REPORTS Q1 GAAP EPS UP 28% TO 21 CENTS, NON-GAAP EPS UP 32% TO 29 CENTS

New Software License Revenues Up 14%, Total GAAP Software Revenues Up 20%

     REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Sept. 18, 2008 — Oracle Corporation (NASDAQ: ORCL) today announced fiscal 2009 Q1 GAAP earnings per share were up 28% to $0.21 compared to the same quarter last year. First quarter total GAAP revenues were up 18% to $5.3 billion, while quarterly GAAP net income was up 28% to $1.1 billion. Total GAAP software revenues were up 20% to $4.2 billion with new software license revenues up 14% to $1.2 billion. GAAP Software license updates and product support revenues were up 23% to $2.9 billion. GAAP Services revenues were up 9% to $1.2 billion. GAAP operating margins were up 170 basis points to 29%.

     First quarter non-GAAP earnings per share were up 32% to $0.29, and non-GAAP net income was up 32% to $1.5 billion, compared to the same quarter last year. Non-GAAP total revenues were up 18% to $5.4 billion. Non-GAAP total software revenues were up 21% to $4.3 billion and non-GAAP software license updates and product support revenues were up 24% to $3.0 billion.

     “Our non-GAAP EPS grew 32% in Q1, and this comes after the 27% growth in Q1 of last year,” said Oracle President and CFO, Safra Catz. “We also delivered a Q1 non-GAAP operating margin of 40%, our highest ever in Q1, up 350 basis points from the quarter a year ago. We continue to deliver consistent earnings growth well ahead of plan.”

     “Oracle has once again increased its database market share according to the latest Gartner research report,” said Oracle CEO, Larry Ellison. “Oracle’s 49% market share in the survey year 2007 was greater than the market share of the next 4 vendors combined: IBM, Microsoft, Teradata, and Sybase.”

     “More-and-more Oracle database customers are buying our integrated suite of standards based Fusion middleware to modernize their computing environments,” said Charles Phillips, Oracle President. “The Oracle product line of database, middleware and applications is by far the most extensive in the enterprise software industry. That enables us to offer a broader range of solutions than any other software vendor.”

“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 athttp://www.oracle.com/investor.  All information set forth in this release is current as of September 18, 2008.

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, 2008, 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, 2008 compared with the corresponding prior year period, contributing 4 percentage points of revenue, 3 percentage points of operating expense and 7 percentage points of operating income growth.

(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)	As of August 31, 2008, approximately $221 million in estimated revenues related to assumed support contracts will not be recognized in fiscal 2009 due to business combination accounting rules.

(5)

Income tax effects were calculated reflecting an effective GAAP tax rate of 25.4% and 30.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively, and an effective non-GAAP tax rate of 26.4% and 30.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. Our non-GAAP tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 excludes the effect of an adjustment to our non-current deferred tax liability associated with acquired intangible assets.

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.

(2)

Represents capital expenditures as reported in cash flows from investing activities on our cash flow statements presented in accordance with GAAP.

APPENDIX A

ORACLE CORPORATION
Q1 FISCAL 2009 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:

• 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 acquisition of a business 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 entity. 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 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 expenses: We have excluded the effect of amortization of intangibles expenses from our non-GAAP operating expenses and net income measures. Amortization of intangible assets expenses 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 and other expenses, and restructuring expenses: 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 in-process research and development expenses, personnel related costs for transitional employees, stock-based compensation expenses (in addition to the stock-based compensation expenses described above), integration related professional services, certain business combination contingency adjustments after the purchase price allocation period has ended, and certain other operating expenses, 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 Oracle 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 are not recurring with respect to past acquisitions, we generally will incur these expenses in connection with any future acquisitions.
