Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements
For purposes of this Quarterly Report, the terms “Oracle,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Oracle Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that are not historical in nature, are predictive in nature, or that depend upon or refer to future events or conditions or contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These include, among other things, statements regarding:
• | our expectation to continue to acquire companies, products, services and technologies; |
• | our expectation that our software business’ total revenues generally will continue to increase; |
• | our belief that software license updates and product support revenues and margins will grow; |
• | our expectation that our hardware business will have lower operating margins as a percentage of revenues than our software business; |
• | our international operations providing a significant portion of our total revenues and expenses; |
• | our expectation to continue to make significant investments in research and development and related product opportunities, including those related to hardware products and services; |
• | our expectation to grow our consulting revenues; |
• | the sufficiency of our sources of funding for acquisitions or other matters; |
• | our belief that we have adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to our tax audits and that any settlement will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations; |
• | our expectation to incur the majority of the remaining expenses pursuant to the Fiscal 2013 Oracle Restructuring Plan through fiscal 2014; |
• | our expectation that to the extent customers renew support contracts or cloud software subscriptions contracts, we will recognize revenues for the full contracts’ values over the respective renewal periods; |
as well as other statements regarding our future operations, financial condition and prospects, and business strategies. Forward-looking statements may be preceded by, followed by or include the words “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “will,” “is designed to” and similar expressions. We claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for all forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about our business that could affect our future results and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in “Risk Factors” included in documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended May 31, 2012 and our other Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q to be filed by us in our fiscal year 2013, which runs from June 1, 2012 to May 31, 2013.
We have no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or risks, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements. New information, future events or risks could cause the forward-looking events we discuss in this Quarterly Report not to occur. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect our opinions only as of the date of this Quarterly Report.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012.
We believe that all necessary adjustments, which consisted only of normal recurring items, have been included in the accompanying financial statements to present fairly the results of the interim periods.

There have been no other significant changes in our reported financial position or results of operations and cash flows as a result of the adoption of new accounting pronouncements or to our significant accounting policies that were disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012 that have had a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements or notes thereto.
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. Such reclassifications did not affect total revenues, operating income or net income.
New Software Licenses and Cloud Software Subscriptions Revenues
New software licenses revenues represent fees earned from granting customers licenses to use our database and middleware and our application software products. Cloud software subscriptions revenues represent fees earned from granting customers access to select Oracle software applications and software platforms on a subscription basis through a cloud-based computing environment.

Sales of Financing Receivables
We offer certain of our customers the option to acquire our products and services offerings through separate long-term payment contracts. We generally sell these contracts that we have financed on a non-recourse basis to financial institutions within 90 days of the contracts’ dates of execution. We record the transfers of amounts due from customers to financial institutions as sales of financing receivables because we are considered to have surrendered control of these financing receivables. During the three months ended August 31, 2012 and 2011, $1.0 billion and $779 million of financing receivables were sold to financial institutions, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment: In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02,Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)—Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (ASU 2012-02), to allow entities to use a qualitative approach to test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. ASU 2012-02 permits an entity to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an

(Unaudited)
indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, it is necessary to perform the currently prescribed quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset with its carrying value. Otherwise, the quantitative impairment test is not required. ASU 2012-02 is effective for us in fiscal 2014 and earlier adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2012-02 on our consolidated financial statements.
2. | ACQUISITIONS |
Fiscal 2013 Acquisitions
During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we acquired certain companies to expand our products and services offerings. These acquisitions were not significant individually or in the aggregate. In addition, as of August 31, 2012, we have agreed to acquire certain companies for amounts that are not material to our business and expect to close such acquisitions within the next twelve months.
Fiscal 2012 Acquisitions
Acquisition of Taleo Corporation
On April 5, 2012, we completed our acquisition of Taleo Corporation (Taleo), a provider of cloud-based talent management solutions. We have included the financial results of Taleo in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The total preliminary purchase price for Taleo was approximately $2.0 billion, which consisted of approximately $2.0 billion in cash and $10 million for the fair value of stock options and restricted stock-based awards assumed. We have preliminarily recorded $1.1 billion of identifiable intangible assets and $264 million of net tangible liabilities related primarily to deferred tax liabilities and customer performance obligations that were assumed as a part of this acquisition based on their estimated fair values, and $1.2 billion of residual goodwill.
Acquisition of RightNow Technologies, Inc.
On January 25, 2012, we completed our acquisition of RightNow Technologies, Inc. (RightNow), a provider of cloud-based customer service. We have included the financial results of RightNow in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The total preliminary purchase price for RightNow was approximately $1.5 billion, which consisted of approximately $1.5 billion in cash and $14 million for the fair value of stock options and restricted stock-based awards assumed. We have preliminarily recorded $697 million of identifiable intangible assets and $246 million of net tangible liabilities related primarily to customer performance obligations, convertible debt and deferred tax liabilities that were assumed as a part of this acquisition based on their estimated fair values, and $1.1 billion of residual goodwill.
Acquisition of Pillar Data Systems, Inc.
On July 18, 2011, we acquired Pillar Data Systems, Inc. (Pillar Data), a provider of enterprise storage systems solutions. Prior to the acquisition, Pillar Data was directly and indirectly majority-owned and controlled by Lawrence J. Ellison, our Chief Executive Officer, director and largest stockholder. Pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger dated as of June 29, 2011 (Merger Agreement), we acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Pillar Data from the stockholders in exchange for rights to receive contingent cash consideration (Earn-Out), if any, pursuant to an Earn-Out calculation. An affiliate of Mr. Ellison’s has a preference right to receive the first approximately $565 million of the Earn-Out, if any, and rights to 55% of any amount of the Earn-Out that exceeds $565 million. The Earn-Out calculation methodology as defined by the Merger Agreement was disclosed in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended May 31, 2012. We do not expect the amount of the Earn-Out or its potential impact will be material to our results of operations or financial position.

ORACLE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
August 31, 2012
(Unaudited)
We have included the financial results of Pillar Data in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. These results were not material to our consolidated financial statements. The estimated fair value of the liability for contingent consideration as of the acquisition date, representing the purchase price payable for our acquisition of Pillar Data, was approximately $346 million and was included in other non-current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. This purchase price payable may differ from the amount that is ultimately payable with any changes in the liability recorded as acquisition related and other in our consolidated statements of operations until the liability is settled. We have recorded $142 million of identifiable intangible assets and $16 million of net tangible liabilities, based on their estimated fair values, and $220 million of residual goodwill. Subsequent to the date of acquisition, the estimated fair value of the Earn-Out liability increased to $403 million as of August 31, 2012 primarily as a result of the passage of time and the corresponding impact of discounting. Our valuation techniques and inputs used to estimate the fair value of the Earn-Out liability are described in Note 3 below.
Other Fiscal 2012 Acquisitions
During fiscal 2012, we acquired certain other companies and purchased certain technology and development assets primarily to expand our products and services offerings. These acquisitions were not individually significant. We have included the financial results of these companies in our consolidated financial statements from their respective acquisition dates and the results from each of these companies were not individually material to our consolidated financial statements. In the aggregate, the total purchase price for these acquisitions was approximately $1.6 billion and consisted of approximately $1.6 billion in cash and $5 million for the fair values of stock options assumed. We have recorded $540 million of identifiable intangible assets and $15 million of net tangible assets, based on their estimated fair values, and $1.1 billion of residual goodwill.
The preliminary fair value estimates for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for certain acquisitions completed during fiscal 2012 were based upon preliminary calculations and valuations and our estimates and assumptions for each of these acquisitions are subject to change as we obtain additional information for our estimates during the respective measurement periods (up to one year from the respective acquisition dates). The primary areas of those preliminary estimates that were not yet finalized related to certain tangible assets and liabilities acquired, identifiable intangible assets, certain legal matters and income and non-income based taxes.
Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
The unaudited pro forma financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations for Oracle, Taleo, RightNow, Pillar Data and certain other companies that we acquired since the beginning of fiscal 2012 (which were considered significant for the purposes of unaudited pro forma financial information disclosure) as though the companies were combined as of the beginning of fiscal 2012. The pro forma financial information for all periods presented also included the business combination accounting effects resulting from these acquisitions including our amortization charges from acquired intangible assets (certain of which were preliminary), stock-based compensation charges for unvested stock options and restricted stock-based awards assumed, if any, and the related tax effects as though the aforementioned companies were combined as of the beginning of fiscal 2012. The pro forma financial information as presented below is for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisitions had taken place at the beginning of fiscal 2012.
The unaudited pro forma financial information for the three months ended August 31, 2012 combined the historical results of Oracle for the three months ended August 31, 2012, and the historical results of certain other companies that we acquired since the beginning of fiscal 2012 based upon their respective previous reporting periods and the dates these companies were acquired by us, and the effects of the pro forma adjustments listed above.

3. | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
We perform fair value measurements in accordance with the guidance provided by FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at their fair values, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the assets or liabilities, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and risk of nonperformance.
ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. An asset’s or liability’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
• | Level 1: quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
• | Level 2: inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; or |
• | Level 3: unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair values of the assets or liabilities. |

Our valuation techniques used to measure the fair values of our money market funds, U.S. Treasury, U.S. government and U.S. government agency debt securities and certain other marketable securities that were classified as Level 1 in the table above were derived from quoted market prices and active markets for these instruments exist. Substantially all of these instruments have maturity dates, if any, within two years from our date of purchase. Our valuation techniques used to measure the fair values of Level 2 instruments listed in the table above, all of which mature within two years and the counterparties to which have high credit ratings, were derived from the following: non-binding market consensus prices that are corroborated by observable market data, quoted market prices for similar instruments, or pricing models, such as discounted cash flow techniques, with all significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data including LIBOR-based yield curves, among others. The fair value of contingent consideration payable that was classified as Level 3 in the table above was estimated using a discounted cash flow technique with significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 fair value measurement as defined in ASC 820. The significant inputs in the Level 3 measurement not supported by market activity included our probability assessments of expected future cash flows related to our acquisition of Pillar Data, appropriately discounted considering the uncertainties associated with the obligation, and as calculated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.
Based on the trading prices of our $14.8 billion and $16.5 billion of borrowings, which consisted of senior notes that were outstanding as of August 31, 2012 and senior notes and short-term borrowings that were outstanding as of May 31, 2012, respectively, the estimated fair values of our borrowings using Level 2 inputs at August 31, 2012 and May 31, 2012 were $17.8 billion and $19.3 billion, respectively.

Morgan Securities, LLC, as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner (the 2012 Credit Agreement). On July 2, 2012, we repaid the $1.7 billion and the 2012 Credit Agreement expired pursuant to its terms.
There have been no other significant changes in our notes payable or other borrowing arrangements that were disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012.
7. | RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES |
Fiscal 2013 Oracle Restructuring Plan
During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, our management approved, committed to and initiated plans to restructure and further improve efficiencies in our Oracle-based operations (the 2013 Restructuring Plan). The total estimated restructuring costs associated with the 2013 Restructuring Plan are $297 million and will be recorded to the restructuring expense line item within our consolidated statements of operations as they are incurred. In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we recorded $137 million of restructuring expenses in connection with the 2013 Restructuring Plan. We expect to incur the majority of the estimated remaining $160 million through fiscal 2014. Any changes to the estimates of executing the 2013 Restructuring Plan will be reflected in our future results of operations.

Deferred software license updates and product support revenues and deferred hardware systems support revenues represent customer payments made in advance for support contracts that are typically billed on a per annum basis in advance with corresponding revenues being recognized ratably over the support periods. Deferred services revenues include prepayments for our services business and revenues for these services are generally recognized as the services are performed. Deferred new software licenses and cloud software subscriptions revenues typically result from undelivered products or specified enhancements, customer specific acceptance provisions, time-based arrangements including cloud software subscriptions offerings and software license transactions that cannot be segmented from undelivered consulting or other services.
In connection with our acquisitions, we have estimated the fair values of the cloud software subscriptions, software license updates and product support, and hardware systems support obligations assumed from our acquired companies. We have estimated the fair values of the obligations assumed using a cost build-up approach. The cost build-up approach determines fair value by estimating the costs related to fulfilling the obligations plus a normal profit margin. The sum of the costs and operating profit approximates, in theory, the amount that we would be required to pay a third party to assume the acquired obligations. The aforementioned fair value adjustments recorded for obligations assumed from our acquisitions reduced the new software licenses and cloud software subscriptions, software license updates and product support and hardware systems support deferred revenues balances that we recorded as liabilities from these acquisitions and also reduced the resulting revenues that we recognized or will recognize over the terms of the acquired obligations during the post-combination periods.
9. | DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
In September 2009, we entered into interest rate swap agreements that have the economic effect of modifying the fixed interest obligations associated with our 3.75% senior notes due July 2014 (2014 Notes) so that the interest payable on these notes effectively became variable based on LIBOR. The critical terms of the interest rate swap agreements and the 2014 Notes match, including the notional amounts and maturity dates. Accordingly, we have designated these swap agreements as qualifying hedging instruments and are accounting for them as fair value
14
Table of Contents
ORACLE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
August 31, 2012
(Unaudited)
hedges pursuant to ASC 815,Derivatives and Hedging. These transactions are characterized as fair value hedges for financial accounting purposes because they protect us against changes in the fair value of our fixed rate borrowings due to benchmark interest rate movements. The changes in fair values of these interest rate swap agreements are recognized as interest expense in our consolidated statements of operations with the corresponding amounts included in other assets or other non-current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. The amount of net gain (loss) attributable to the risk being hedged is recognized as interest expense in our consolidated statements of operations with the corresponding amount included in notes payable and other non-current borrowings. The periodic interest settlements, which occur at the same interval as the 2014 Notes, are recorded as interest expense. The fair values of these interest rate swap agreements recorded as other assets in our consolidated balance sheets were $65 million and $69 million as of August 31, 2012 and May 31, 2012, respectively.
We do not use any interest rate swap agreements for trading purposes.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Not Designated as Hedges
We transact business in various foreign currencies and have established a program that primarily utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to offset the risks associated with the effects of certain foreign currency exposures. We neither use these foreign currency forward contracts for trading purposes nor do we designate these forward contracts as hedging instruments pursuant to ASC 815 (refer to Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2012 for additional information regarding these contracts). As of August 31, 2012 and May 31, 2012, respectively, the notional amounts of the forward contracts we held to purchase U.S. Dollars in exchange for other major international currencies were $3.1 billion and $3.0 billion, respectively, and the notional amounts of forward contracts we held to sell U.S. Dollars in exchange for other major international currencies were $863 million and $873 million, respectively. The fair values of our outstanding foreign currency forward contracts were nominal at August 31, 2012 and May 31, 2012. Included in our non-operating income (expense), net were $33 million and $17 million of net losses related to these forward contracts for the three months ended August 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
10. | STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY |
Stock Repurchases
Our Board of Directors has approved a program for us to repurchase shares of our common stock. On June 18, 2012, we announced that our Board of Directors approved an expansion of our stock repurchase program by an additional $10.0 billion. Approximately $10.0 billion remained available for stock repurchases as of August 31, 2012 pursuant to our stock repurchase program. We repurchased 104.2 million shares for $3.1 billion during the three months ended August 31, 2012 (including 4.3 million shares for $135 million that were repurchased but not settled) and 27.5 million shares for $823 million during the three months ended August 31, 2011 under the stock repurchase program.
Our stock repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date and the pace of our repurchase activity will depend on factors such as our working capital needs, our cash requirements for acquisitions and dividend payments, our debt repayment obligations or repurchase of our debt, our stock price, and economic and market conditions. Our stock repurchases may be effected from time to time through open market purchases or pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan. Our stock repurchase program may be accelerated, suspended, delayed or discontinued at any time.
Dividends on Common Stock
In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.06 per share of our outstanding common stock, which we paid during the same period.

In September 2012, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share of our outstanding common stock payable on November 2, 2012 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 12, 2012. Future declarations of dividends and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to the final determination of our Board of Directors.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we issued 110 million stock options (including our annual grant of stock options) and assumed certain stock options from companies that we acquired. These stock option-based award issuances were partially offset by forfeitures and cancellations of 4 million shares during the first quarter of fiscal 2013.
We estimate the fair values of our share-based payments using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model, which was developed for use in estimating the fair values of stock options. Option valuation models, including the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model, require the input of assumptions, including stock price volatility. Changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates and ultimately how much we recognize as stock-based compensation expense. We recognize stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the service period of the award, which is generally four years. The fair values of our stock options were estimated at the date of grant or date of acquisition for options assumed in a business combination. The weighted average input assumptions used and resulting fair values of our stock options were as follows for the three months ended August 31, 2012 and 2011:
Three Months Ended August 31, | ||||||||
2012 | 2011 | |||||||
Expected life (in years) | 5.1 | 5.2 | ||||||
Risk-free interest rate | 0.7% | 1.7% | ||||||
Volatility | 32% | 30% | ||||||
Dividend yield | 0.8% | 0.7% | ||||||
Weighted-average fair value per share | $ | 7.83 | $ | 8.78 |
The expected life input is based on historical exercise patterns and post-vesting termination behavior, the risk-free interest rate input is based on United States Treasury instruments, the annualized dividend yield input is based on the per share dividend declared by our Board of Directors and the volatility input is calculated based on the implied volatility of our publicly traded options.

11. | INCOME TAXES |
The effective tax rate for the periods presented is the result of the mix of income earned in various tax jurisdictions that apply a broad range of income tax rates. Our provision for income taxes differs from the tax computed at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate due primarily to earnings considered as indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations, state taxes, the U.S. research and development tax credit and the U.S. domestic production activity deduction. Our effective tax rate was 24.7% and 25.6% for the three months ended August 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
During fiscal 2012, we increased the number of foreign subsidiaries in countries with lower statutory rates than the rate used in the United States, the earnings of which we consider to be indefinitely reinvested outside the United States.
Our net deferred tax assets were $1.4 billion as of both August 31, 2012 and May 31, 2012. We believe it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized in the foreseeable future. Realization of our net deferred tax assets is dependent upon our generation of sufficient taxable income in future years in appropriate tax jurisdictions to obtain benefit from the reversal of temporary differences, net operating loss carryforwards, and tax credit carryforwards. The amount of net deferred tax assets considered realizable is subject to adjustment in future periods if estimates of future taxable income change.
Domestically, U.S. federal and state taxing authorities are currently examining income tax returns of Oracle and various acquired entities for years through fiscal 2010. Our U.S. federal and, with some exceptions, our state income tax returns have been examined for all years prior to fiscal 2000, and we are no longer subject to audit for those periods.
Internationally, tax authorities for numerous non-U.S. jurisdictions are also examining returns affecting unrecognized tax benefits. With some exceptions, we are generally no longer subject to tax examinations in non-U.S. jurisdictions for years prior to fiscal 1998.
We believe that we have adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to our tax audits and that any settlement will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. However, there can be no assurances as to the possible outcomes.
12. | SEGMENT INFORMATION |
ASC 280,Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer. We are organized geographically and by line of business. While our Chief Executive Officer evaluates results in a number of different ways, the line of business management structure is the primary basis for which the allocation of resources and financial results are assessed. We have three businesses—software, hardware systems and services—which are further divided into certain operating segments. Our software business is comprised of two operating segments: (1) new software licenses and cloud software subscriptions and (2) software license updates and product support. Our hardware systems business is comprised of two operating segments: (1) hardware systems products and (2) hardware systems support. All other operating segments are combined under our services business.
The new software licenses and cloud software subscriptions line of business is engaged in licensing our database and middleware software and our applications software, and providing access to select Oracle software applications and software platforms on a subscription basis through a cloud-based computing environment. Database and middleware software generally includes database and database management software; application

server and cloud application software; Service-Oriented Architecture and business process management software; business intelligence software; identity and access management software; data integration software; web experience management, portals, content management and social network software; and development tools. Our database and middleware software product offerings also include Java, which is a global software development platform used in a wide range of computers, networks and devices. Applications software generally provides enterprise information that enables companies to manage their business cycles and provides intelligence and includes enterprise resource planning software including human capital management; customer relationship management; financials; governance, risk and compliance; procurement; supply chain management; enterprise portfolio project management; enterprise performance management; business intelligence analytic applications; web commerce; and industry-specific applications. Oracle Cloud, which is a family of our cloud-based software subscription offerings, provides our customers and partners subscription-based, self-service access to certain of our database and middleware, and applications software, and includes hosting, infrastructure management, the use of software updates, and support.
The software license updates and product support line of business provides customers with rights to unspecified software product upgrades and maintenance releases, internet access to technical content, as well as internet and telephone access to technical support personnel during the support period.
The hardware systems products line of business consists primarily of computer server, storage and networking product offerings and hardware-related software, including the Oracle Solaris Operating System. As a part of this line of business, we offer our Oracle Engineered Systems, including Oracle Exadata Database Machine, Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud, Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine, SPARC SuperCluster, Oracle Database Appliance, and Oracle Big Data Appliance, which are engineered to run certain of our hardware and software offerings to create performance and operational cost advantages for customers. Most of our computer servers are based on our SPARC family of microprocessors and on microprocessors from Intel Corporation. Our servers range from high performance computing servers to cost efficient, entry-level servers, and run with Oracle Solaris, Oracle Linux and certain other operating systems environments. Our storage products are designed to securely manage, protect, archive and restore customers’ data assets and consist of tape, disk and networking solutions for open systems and mainframe server environments. Our hardware systems support line of business offers customers contracts that provide software updates for the software components that are essential to the functionality of our hardware systems and storage products and may also include product repairs, maintenance services and technical support services.
Our services business is comprised of the remainder of our operating segments and offers consulting, managed cloud services and education services. Our consulting line of business primarily provides services to customers in business and IT strategy alignment, enterprise architecture planning and design, initial product implementation and integration and ongoing product enhancements and upgrades. Oracle managed cloud services provide comprehensive software and hardware management and maintenance services for customers hosted at our Oracle data center facilities, select partner data centers, or physically on-premise at customer facilities. Additionally, we provide support services, both on-premise and remote, to Oracle customers to enable increased performance and higher availability of their products and services. Education services provide training to customers, partners and employees as a part of our mission to further the adoption and usage of our software and hardware products by our customers and to create opportunities to grow our product revenues.
We do not track our assets by operating segments. Consequently, it is not practical to show assets by operating segment.

13. | EARNINGS PER SHARE |
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, restricted stock-based awards and shares issuable under the employee stock purchase plan using the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

14. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
SAP Intellectual Property Litigation
On March 22, 2007, Oracle Corporation, Oracle USA, Inc. and Oracle International Corporation (collectively, Oracle) filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against SAP AG, its wholly-owned subsidiary, SAP America, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary, TomorrowNow, Inc., (the SAP Subsidiary, and collectively, the SAP Defendants) alleging that SAP unlawfully accessed Oracle’s Customer Connection support website and improperly took and used Oracle’s intellectual property.
Trial commenced on November 1, 2010 on the issue of damages, as SAP had stipulated to liability. The jury awarded Oracle the sum of $1.3 billion.
On February 23, 2011, the SAP Defendants filed a motion for judgment as a matter of law and for a new trial, and on September 1, 2011, the court granted the SAP Defendants’ motion. The court vacated the $1.3 billion award and held that Oracle could either accept a reduced amount or remittitur of $272 million or proceed to a new trial. On February 6, 2012, Oracle rejected the remittitur and requested a new trial.
On August 2, 2012, Oracle and the SAP Defendants stipulated to a judgment of $306 million against the SAP Defendants, in lieu of having a second jury trial, while preserving both parties’ rights to appeal prior orders of the court. We recorded a $306 million non-current receivable as a part of other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2012, and a corresponding benefit to our results of operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Previously during trial we received payment of $120 million in attorneys’ fees from SAP under a stipulation, and we recorded this payment upon receipt as a benefit to our results of operations during the second quarter of fiscal 2011. On August 3, 2012, the court entered the judgment and vacated the date set for the new trial. Oracle filed a Notice of Appeal on August 31, 2012, and the SAP Defendants filed a notice of appeal on September 14, 2012. These appeals are scheduled to be fully briefed by February 22, 2013. The appellate court has not yet scheduled a date for oral argument.

Hewlett-Packard Company Litigation
On June 15, 2011, Hewlett-Packard Company (“HP”) filed a complaint in the California Superior Court, County of Santa Clara against Oracle Corporation alleging numerous causes of action including breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, defamation, intentional interference with prospective economic advantage, and violation of the California Unfair Business Practices Act. The complaint alleged that when Oracle announced on March 22 and 23, 2011 that it would no longer develop future versions of its software to run on HP’s Itanium-based servers, it breached a settlement agreement signed on September 20, 2010 between HP and Mark Hurd (the “Hurd Settlement Agreement”) who was both HP’s former chief executive officer and chairman of HP’s board of directors. HP sought a judicial declaration of the parties’ rights and obligations under the Hurd Settlement Agreement, and other equitable and monetary relief.
On August 29, 2011, Oracle answered the complaint and filed a cross-complaint, which was amended on December 2, 2011. The amended cross-complaint alleged claims including violation of the Lanham Act. Oracle alleged that HP had secretly agreed to pay Intel to continue to develop and manufacture the Itanium microprocessor, and had misrepresented to customers that the Itanium microprocessor had a long roadmap, among other claims. Oracle sought equitable rescission of the Hurd Settlement Agreement, and other equitable and monetary relief.
The court bifurcated the trial and tried HP’s causes of action for declaratory relief and promissory estoppel without a jury beginning on June 4, 2012 and ending on June 26, 2012. The court issued a final statement of decision on August 28, 2012 finding that the Hurd Settlement Agreement required Oracle to continue to develop certain of its software products for use on HP’s Itanium-based servers and to port such products at no cost to HP for as long as HP continues to sell those servers. Oracle has announced that it is appealing this decision. The issues of breach, HP’s performance, causation and damages, HP’s tort claims, and Oracle’s cross-claims will all be tried before a jury beginning February 4, 2013. We cannot currently estimate a reasonably possible range of loss for this action. We believe that we have meritorious defenses against this action, and we will continue to vigorously defend it.
Derivative Litigations and Related Action
Various stockholder derivative lawsuits have been filed against Oracle and certain former and current directors in connection with a qui tam lawsuit that had been filed against Oracle in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. The qui tam action alleged that Oracle made false statements to the General Services Administration (GSA) in 1997-1998 while negotiating its GSA contract, among other claims. Oracle settled this action without admitting liability, and the case was dismissed on October 11, 2011. Thereafter, the following stockholder derivative actions have been filed, claiming that the named officer and director defendants were responsible for certain alleged conduct in the qui tam action and thereby exposing Oracle to reputational damage, monetary damages and costs and asserting claims for breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control and unjust enrichment: on August 2, 2010, a stockholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California; on August 19, 2010, a similar stockholder derivative lawsuit was filed in California Superior Court, County of San Mateo; and on September 8, 2011, another stockholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The first two derivative actions were consolidated, but pursuant to a motion by Oracle, they were dismissed on November 11, 2011, with leave to plaintiffs to amend. No amended complaint has been filed.
On September 12, 2011, two alleged stockholders of Oracle filed a Verified Petition for Writ of Mandate for Inspection of Corporate Books and Records in California Superior Court, County of San Mateo. The petition originally named as respondents Oracle and two of our officers, both of whom were subsequently dismissed. The alleged stockholders claim that they are investigating alleged corporate mismanagement relating to the claims in the qui tam action, and asked the court to compel the inspection of certain of Oracle’s accounting books and

(Unaudited)
records and minutes of meetings of the stockholders, the Board of Directors and the committees of the Board of Directors, related to those allegations, plus expenses of the audit and attorneys’ fees. At a hearing on November 10, 2011, the court granted the alleged stockholders’ request for a Writ of Mandate, which was confirmed in a judgment on December 12, 2011. Oracle filed a notice of appeal on February 2, 2012.
The parties in the derivative actions discussed above and the Writ of Mandate action have agreed to mediate all disputes, and the parties have stipulated to a stay of further proceedings in the trial court for each of these actions. On June 5, 2012, the parties met with a mediator, and since that time, have continued to discuss a potential resolution.
On September 30, 2011, a stockholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery and a second stockholder was permitted to intervene as a plaintiff on November 15, 2011. The derivative suit is brought by two alleged stockholders of Oracle, purportedly on Oracle’s behalf, against our current directors, including against our Chief Executive Officer as an alleged controlling stockholder. Plaintiffs allege that Oracle’s directors breached their fiduciary duties in agreeing to purchase Pillar Data Systems, Inc. at an excessive price. Plaintiffs allege breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment. Plaintiffs seek an injunction of the Pillar Data transaction, rescission of the Pillar Data transaction, disgorgement of our Chief Executive Officer’s alleged profits and other declaratory and monetary relief. On February 29, 2012, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint, and a hearing on this motion was held on August 22, 2012. The court dismissed all claims without prejudice against two of our directors and dismissed with prejudice plaintiffs’ claims for breach of the fiduciary duty of care, but ruled that all other claims for breach of fiduciary duty remain in the case. The court also dismissed with prejudice plaintiffs’ claims for aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment. The court further dismissed with prejudice plaintiffs’ requests for relief, other than their request for monetary relief and for costs and expenses incurred in this action. The parties will submit a proposed case management order by October 1, 2012.
While the outcome of the derivative litigations and the related action noted above cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the outcome of any of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will result in losses that are materially in excess of amounts already recognized, if any.
Other Litigation
We are party to various other legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings and claims that relate to acquisitions we have completed or to companies we have acquired or are attempting to acquire. While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the outcome of any of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will result in losses that are materially in excess of amounts already recognized, if any.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
We begin Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations with an overview of our key operating business segments and significant trends. This overview is followed by a summary of our critical accounting policies and estimates that we believe are important to understanding the assumptions and judgments incorporated in our reported financial results. We then provide a more detailed analysis of our results of operations and financial condition.
Business Overview
We are the world’s largest provider of enterprise software and a leading provider of computer hardware products and services. Our software, hardware systems, and services businesses develop, manufacture, market, host and support database and middleware software, applications software and hardware systems, with the latter consisting primarily of computer server and storage products. Our businesses provide products and services that are built upon industry standards, are engineered to work together or independently within existing customer information technology (IT) environments and run securely on a wide range of customer IT environments, including cloud computing environments.
Cloud computing environments provide on demand access to a shared pool of computing resources in a scalable, self-service manner, delivering advantages in speed, agility and efficiency. Cloud computing has evolved from technologies and services that Oracle has provided for many years, including clustering, server virtualization, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), shared services, large-scale management automation, and more recently, our Oracle Engineered Systems. Our secure, reliable and scalable product offerings are designed to improve business efficiencies at a low total cost of ownership. We seek to be an industry leader in each of the product offering categories in which we compete and to expand into new and emerging markets.
We believe our ability to offer our customers choice and flexibility in the manner in which they deploy our products and services while maintaining enterprise-grade reliability, security and interoperability based upon industry-standards is important to our corporate strategy. Oracle Fusion Applications, for example, offer customers a choice of deployment models to run our standards-based software applications in on-premise or cloud computing IT environments. Oracle Cloud, a family of our cloud-based software subscription offerings, provides access to select Oracle software applications and software platforms on a subscription basis in a secure, standards-based cloud computing environment. Oracle Cloud includes software applications as a service, such as Oracle Fusion Human Capital Management Cloud Service and Oracle Fusion Customer Relationship Management Cloud Service, and software platform services such as Oracle Database Cloud Service and Oracle Java Cloud Service, among others.
We are organized into three businesses—software, hardware systems and services—which are further divided into certain operating segments. We believe our internal growth and continued innovation with respect to our software, hardware and services businesses are the foundation of our long-term strategic plans. We continue to focus the engineering of our hardware and software products to make them work together more effectively and deliver improved computing performance, reliability and security to our customers. For example, Oracle Engineered Systems, which include our Oracle Exadata Database Machine, Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud and SPARC SuperCluster products, among others, combine certain of our hardware and software offerings to provide engineered systems that increase computing performance and reduce storage requirements relative to our competitors’ products, creating time savings, efficiencies and operational cost advantages for our customers.
We believe that an active acquisition program is an important element of our corporate strategy as it strengthens our competitive position, enhances the products and services that we can offer to customers, expands our customer base, provides greater scale to accelerate innovation, grows our revenues and earnings and increases stockholder value. In recent years, we have invested billions of dollars to acquire a number of companies, products, services and technologies that add to, are complementary to, or have otherwise enhanced our existing offerings. We expect to continue to acquire companies, products, services and technologies to further our corporate strategy.
Each of our businesses and operating segments has unique characteristics and faces different opportunities and challenges. Although we report our actual results in U.S. Dollars, we conduct a significant number of
24
Table of Contents
transactions in currencies other than U.S. Dollars. Therefore, we present constant currency information to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. An overview of our three businesses and related operating segments follows.
Software Business
Our software business, which represented 71% of our total revenues on a trailing 4-quarter basis, is comprised of two operating segments: (1) new software licenses and cloud software subscriptions and (2) software license updates and product support. On a constant currency basis, we expect that our software business’ total revenues generally will continue to increase due to continued demand for our software products and software license updates and product support offerings, including the high percentage of customers that renew their software license updates and product support contracts, and due to our acquisitions, which should allow us to grow our profits and continue to make investments in research and development.
New Software Licenses and Cloud Software Subscriptions: We license our database and middleware, as well as our applications software, and provide access to certain of our software offerings through cloud software subscriptions contracts. We offer customers choice and flexibility in the manner in which they deploy our enterprise-grade, standards-based software products within on-premise or cloud computing IT environments. Our customers include businesses of many sizes, government agencies, educational institutions and resellers. We market and sell our software products and services to these customers with an integrated sales force positioned to offer the combinations that best fit their needs. We enable customers to evolve and transform to substantially any IT environment at whatever pace is most appropriate for them.
The growth in new software licenses and cloud software subscriptions revenues that we report is affected by the strength of general economic and business conditions, governmental budgetary constraints, the competitive position of our software offerings, our acquisitions and foreign currency fluctuations. The substantial majority of our new software licenses business is characterized by long sales cycles and the timing of a few large software license transactions can substantially affect our quarterly new software licenses and cloud software subscriptions revenues. Since our new software licenses and cloud software subscriptions revenues in a particular quarter can be difficult to predict as a result of the timing of a few large software license transactions, we believe that analysis of new software licenses and cloud software subscriptions revenues on a trailing 4-quarter period provides additional visibility into the underlying performance of this business segment. New software licenses and cloud software subscriptions revenues represented 27% of our total revenues on a trailing 4-quarter basis. Our cloud software subscriptions contracts are generally one to three years in duration and we strive to renew these contracts when they are eligible for renewal. Our new software licenses and cloud software subscriptions segment’s margin has historically trended upward over the course of the four quarters within a particular fiscal year due to the historical upward trend of our new software licenses revenues over those quarterly periods and because the majority of our costs for this segment are predominantly fixed in the short-term. However, our new software licenses and cloud software subscriptions segment’s margin have been and will continue to be affected by the fair value adjustments relating to the cloud software subscriptions obligations that we assumed in business combinations (described further below) and by the amortization of intangible assets associated with companies and technologies that we have acquired.
We recorded adjustments to reduce obligations under our assumed cloud software subscriptions offerings in business combinations to their estimated fair values at the acquisition dates. As a result, as required by business combination accounting rules, we did not recognize new software licenses and cloud software subscriptions revenues that would have been otherwise recorded as revenues by the acquired businesses as independent entities in the amount of $19 million for the three months ended August 31, 2012. To the extent underlying cloud software subscriptions contracts are renewed with us following an acquisition, we will recognize the revenues for the full value of the cloud software subscriptions contracts over the contractual periods.
Software License Updates and Product Support: Customers that purchase software license updates and product support are granted rights to unspecified product upgrades and maintenance releases issued during the support period, as well as technical support assistance. Substantially all of our customers renew their software license updates and product support contracts annually. The growth of software license updates and product
25
Table of Contents
support revenues is primarily influenced by three factors: (1) the percentage of our support contract customer base that renews its support contracts, (2) the amount of new support contracts sold in connection with the sale of new software licenses and (3) the amount of support contracts assumed from companies we have acquired.
Software license updates and product support revenues, which represented 44% of our total revenues on a trailing 4-quarter basis, is our highest margin business unit. Our software support margins over the trailing 4-quarters were 87% and accounted for 72% of our total margins over the same period. Our software license update and product support margins have been affected by fair value adjustments relating to software support obligations assumed in business combinations (described further below) and by amortization of intangible assets. However, over the longer term, we believe that software license updates and product support revenues and margins will grow for the following reasons:
• | substantially all of our customers, including customers from acquired companies, renew their support contracts when eligible for renewal; |
• | substantially all of our customers purchase software license updates and product support contracts when they buy new software licenses, resulting in a further increase in our support contract base. Even if new software licenses revenues growth was flat, software license updates and product support revenues would continue to grow in comparison to the corresponding prior year periods assuming contract renewal and cancellation rates and foreign currency rates remained relatively constant since substantially all new software licenses transactions result in the sale of software license updates and product support contracts, which add to our support contract base; and |
• | our acquisitions have increased our support contract base, as well as the portfolio of products available to be licensed and supported. |
We recorded adjustments to reduce support obligations assumed in business combinations to their estimated fair values at the acquisition dates. As a result, as required by business combination accounting rules, we did not recognize software license updates and product support revenues related to software support contracts that would have been otherwise recorded by the acquired businesses as independent entities in the amounts of $5 million and $13 million for the three months ended August 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. To the extent underlying support contracts are renewed with us following an acquisition, we will recognize the revenues for the full value of the support contracts over the support periods, the majority of which are one year.
Hardware Systems Business
Our hardware systems business consists of two operating segments: (1) hardware systems products and (2) hardware systems support. Our hardware business represented 17% of our total revenues on a trailing 4-quarter basis. We expect our hardware business to have lower operating margins as a percentage of revenues than our software business due to the incremental costs we incur to produce and distribute these products and to provide support services, including direct materials and labor costs. We expect to make investments in research and development to improve existing hardware products and services and to develop new hardware products and services.
Hardware Systems Products: We provide a complete selection of hardware systems and related services including servers, storage, networking, virtualization software, operating systems, and management software to support diverse IT environments, including public and private cloud computing environments. We engineer our hardware systems with virtualization and management capabilities to enable the rapid deployment and efficient management of cloud IT infrastructures. Our hardware systems products consist primarily of computer server, storage and hardware-related software, including our Oracle Solaris operating system. Our hardware systems component products are designed to be “open,” or to work in customer environments that may include other Oracle or non-Oracle hardware or software components. We have also engineered our hardware systems products to create performance and operational cost advantages for customers when our hardware and software products are combined as Oracle Engineered Systems.
Our Oracle Engineered Systems include Oracle Exadata Database Machine, Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud, Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine, SPARC SuperCluster, Oracle Database Appliance and the Oracle Big

Data Appliance. By combining our server and storage hardware with our software, our open, integrated products better address customer on-premise and cloud computing requirements for performance, scalability, reliability, security, ease of management and lower total cost of ownership.
We offer a wide range of server systems using our SPARC microprocessor. Our SPARC servers are differentiated by their reliability, security, scalability and customer environments that they target (general purpose or specialized systems). Our midsize and large servers are designed to offer greater performance and lower total cost of ownership than mainframe systems for business critical applications and for customers having more computationally intensive needs. Our SPARC servers run the Oracle Solaris operating system and are designed for the most demanding mission critical enterprise environments at any scale.
We also offer enterprise x86 servers. These x86 servers are primarily based on microprocessor platforms from Intel Corporation and are also compatible with Oracle Solaris, Oracle Linux, Microsoft Windows and other operating systems.
Our Netra line of servers are aimed at the unique needs of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and network equipment providers. Rack-optimized systems and our blade product offerings combine high-density hardware architecture and system management software that OEMs find particularly useful in building their own solution architectures.
Our storage products are designed to securely manage, protect, archive and restore customers’ mission critical data assets and consist of tape, disk, hardware-related software including file systems software, back-up and archive software and storage management software and networking for mainframe and open systems environments.
The majority of our hardware systems products are sold through indirect channels, including independent distributors and value added resellers.
To produce our hardware products, we rely on both our internal manufacturing operations as well as third party manufacturing partners. Our internal manufacturing operations consist primarily of final assembly, test and quality control of enterprise and data center servers and storage systems. For all other manufacturing, we rely on third party manufacturing partners. We distribute most of our hardware products either from our facilities or partner facilities. We strive to reduce costs by simplifying our manufacturing processes through increased standardization of components across product types and a “build-to-order” manufacturing process in which products generally are built only after customers have placed firm orders. In addition, we seek to enhance hardware systems support processes that are designed to proactively identify and solve quality issues and to increase the amount of new hardware systems support contracts sold in connection with the sales of new hardware products.
Our hardware systems products revenues, cost of hardware systems products and operating margins that we report are affected by the strength of general economic and business conditions, governmental budgetary constraints, our strategy for and the competitive position of our hardware systems products, our acquisitions and foreign currency rate fluctuations. In addition, our operating margins for our hardware systems products segment have been and will be affected by the amortization of intangible assets.
We have limited experience in predicting our quarterly hardware systems products revenues. The timing of customer orders and delays in our ability to timely manufacture or deliver a few large transactions could substantially affect the amount of hardware systems products revenues, expenses and operating margins that we report.
Hardware Systems Support: Our hardware systems support offerings provide customers with software updates for the software components that are essential to the functionality of our server and storage products, such as Oracle Solaris, and can include product repairs, maintenance services and technical support services. Typically, our hardware systems support contract arrangements are invoiced to the customer at the beginning of the support period and are one year in duration. Our hardware systems support revenues that we report are influenced by a number of factors, including the volume of purchases of hardware products, the mix of hardware products purchased and the percentage of our hardware systems support contract customer base that renews its support contracts. All of these factors are heavily influenced by our customers’ decisions to either maintain or upgrade their existing hardware systems’ infrastructure to newly developed technologies that are available.
27
Table of Contents
Our hardware systems support margins have been and will be affected by our acquisitions and related accounting including fair value adjustments relating to hardware systems support obligations assumed and by the amortization of intangible assets. As required by business combination accounting rules, we recorded adjustments to reduce our hardware systems support revenues for contracts assumed from our acquisitions to their estimated fair values. These amounts would have been recorded as hardware systems support revenues by the acquired businesses as independent entities in the amounts of $4 million and $11 million for the three months ended August 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. To the extent underlying hardware systems support contracts are renewed with us following an acquisition, we will recognize the revenues for the full values of the hardware systems support contracts over the support periods.
Services Business
Our services business is comprised of the remainder of our operating segments and offers consulting services, managed cloud services and education services. Our services business, which represented 12% of our total revenues on a trailing 4-quarter basis, has lower margins than our software and hardware businesses. Our services revenues are impacted by certain of our acquisitions, general economic conditions, personnel reductions in our customers’ IT departments, tighter controls over discretionary spending and the growth in our software and hardware systems products revenues.
Our consulting line of business primarily provides services to customers in business and IT strategy alignment, enterprise architecture planning and design, initial product implementation and integration, and ongoing product enhancements and upgrades. The amount of consulting revenues recognized tends to lag the amount of our software and hardware systems products revenues by several quarters since consulting services, if purchased, are typically segmentable from the products with which they relate and are performed after the customer’s purchase of the products. Our services revenues as they relate to consulting services are dependent upon general economic conditions and the level of our product revenues, in particular the new software licenses sales of our application products. To the extent we are able to grow our products revenues, in particular our software application product revenues, we would also generally expect to be able to eventually grow our consulting revenues.
Oracle managed cloud services provide comprehensive software and hardware management and maintenance services—including deployment, management, monitoring, patching, security and upgrade services—for customers hosted at our Oracle data center facilities, select partner data centers or physically on-premise at customer facilities. Additionally, we provide support services, both on-premise and remote, to Oracle customers to enable increased performance and higher availability of their products and services. We believe that our managed cloud services offerings provide our customers with greater value and choice through increased business performance, reduced risk, a predictable cost and more flexibility in terms of service in order to maximize the performance of their Oracle software and hardware products and services.
Education services provide training to customers, partners and employees as a part of our mission to further the adoption and usage of our software and hardware products by our customers and create opportunities to grow our products revenues.
Acquisitions
An active acquisition program is another important element of our corporate strategy. In recent years, we have invested billions of dollars to acquire a number of complementary companies, products, services and technologies. We believe our acquisition program strengthens our competitive position, enhances the products and services that we can offer to customers, expands our customer base, provides greater scale to accelerate innovation, grows our revenues and earnings and increases stockholder value. We expect to continue to acquire companies, products, services and technologies in furtherance of our corporate strategy. Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report provides additional information related to our pending and recent acquisitions.
We believe we can fund our pending and future acquisitions with our internally available cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, cash generated from operations, additional borrowings or from the issuance of additional securities. We estimate the financial impact of any potential acquisition with regard to earnings, operating margin, cash flow and return on invested capital targets before deciding to move forward with an acquisition.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) and consider the various staff accounting bulletins and other applicable guidance issued by the SEC. GAAP, as set forth within the Codification, requires us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. To the extent there are differences between these estimates, judgments or assumptions and actual results, our financial statements will be affected. The accounting policies that reflect our more significant estimates, judgments and assumptions and which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:
• | Revenue Recognition |
• | Business Combinations |
• | Goodwill and Intangible Assets—Impairment Assessments |
• | Accounting for Income Taxes |
• | Legal and Other Contingencies |
• | Stock-Based Compensation |
• | Allowances for Doubtful Accounts |
In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting among available alternatives would not produce a materially different result. Our senior management has reviewed these critical accounting policies and related disclosures with the Finance and Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, there were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended May 31, 2012 provides a more complete discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.
Results of Operations
Impact of Acquisitions
The comparability of our operating results in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2012 is impacted by our acquisitions, primarily our acquisitions of Taleo Corporation (Taleo) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 and RightNow Technologies, Inc. (RightNow) in the third quarter of fiscal 2012.
In our discussion of changes in our results of operations from the first quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we quantify the contributions of our acquired products (for acquisitions that were completed since the beginning of fiscal 2012) to the growth in new software licenses and cloud software subscriptions revenues and to the growth in software license updates and product support revenues. The incremental contributions of our acquisitions to our other businesses and operating segments’ revenues and expenses are not provided as they either were not separately identifiable due to the integration of these operating segments into our existing operations and/or were insignificant to our results of operations during the periods presented.
29
Table of Contents
We caution readers that, while pre- and post-acquisition comparisons, as well as the quantified amounts themselves may provide indications of general trends, the acquisition information that we provide has inherent limitations for the following reasons:
• | the quantifications cannot address the substantial effects attributable to changes in business strategies, including our sales force integration efforts. We believe that if our acquired companies had operated independently and sales forces had not been integrated, the relative mix of products sold would have been different; and |
• | although substantially all of our customers, including customers from acquired companies, renew their software license updates and product support contracts when the contracts are eligible for renewal and we strive to renew cloud software subscriptions contracts and hardware systems support contracts, the amounts shown as new software licenses and cloud software subscriptions deferred revenues, software license updates and product support deferred revenues, and hardware systems support deferred revenues in our supplemental disclosure related to certain charges (presented below) are not necessarily indicative of revenue improvements we will achieve upon contract renewal to the extent customers do not renew. |
Seasonality
Our quarterly revenues have historically been affected by a variety of seasonal factors, including the structure of our sales force incentive compensation plans, which are common in the technology industry. Our total revenues and operating margins are typically highest in our fourth fiscal quarter and lowest in our first fiscal quarter. The operating margins of our businesses are generally affected by seasonal factors in a similar manner as our revenues (in particular, our new software licenses and cloud software subscriptions segment) as certain expenses within our cost structure are relatively fixed in the short term.
Constant Currency Presentation
Our international operations have provided and will continue to provide a significant portion of our total revenues and expenses. As a result, total revenues and expenses will continue to be affected by changes in the U.S. Dollar against major international currencies. In order to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, we compare the percent change in the results from one period to another period in this Quarterly Report using constant currency disclosure. To present this information, current and comparative prior period results for entities reporting in currencies other than U.S. Dollars are converted into U.S. Dollars at constant exchange rates (i.e. the rates in effect on May 31, 2012, which was the last day of our prior fiscal year) rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the respective periods. For example, if an entity reporting in Euros had revenues of 1.0 million Euros from products sold on August 31, 2012 and August 31, 2011, our financial statements would reflect reported revenues of $1.25 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 (using 1.25 as the month-end average exchange rate for the period) and $1.45 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 (using 1.45 as the month-end average exchange rate for the period). The constant currency presentation would translate the results for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and 2012 using the May 31, 2012 exchange rate and indicate, in this example, no change in revenues during the period. In each of the tables below, we present the percent change based on actual, unrounded results in reported currency and in constant currency.

Excluding the effect of unfavorable foreign currency rate fluctuations of 5 percentage points, our total revenues increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 due to an increase in our software business revenues, which was attributable to growth in our new software licenses and cloud software subscriptions revenues and due to growth in our software license updates and product support revenues. On a constant currency basis, the contribution of our software business revenues to our total revenues growth in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was partially offset by a decrease in our hardware systems business’ revenues.
Excluding the effect of favorable foreign currency rate fluctuations of 4 percentage points, total operating expenses decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 due to a $306 million benefit that we recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 related to certain litigation (see Note 14 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional information), expense decreases in most of our lines of business due to lower variable compensation expenses, lower external contractor expenses, and a reduction in certain legal costs, and lower hardware systems products costs associated with lower hardware systems products revenues. These decreases in our total expenses were partially offset by an increase in our research and development expenses, which resulted primarily from higher employee related expenses associated with increased headcount.
On a constant currency basis, our operating margin and our operating margin as a percentage of revenues increased during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 due to the increase in total revenues and decrease in total operating expenses.

(1) | In connection with our acquisitions, we have estimated the fair values of the cloud software subscriptions, software support and hardware systems support obligations assumed. Due to our application of business combination accounting rules, we did not recognize new software licenses and cloud software subscriptions revenues related to contracts that would have otherwise been recorded by the acquired businesses as independent entities, in the amount of $19 million for the three months ended August 31, 2012. We also did not recognize software license updates and product support revenues related to software support contracts that would have otherwise been recorded by the acquired businesses as independent entities in the amounts of $5 million and $13 million for the three months ended August 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In addition, we did not recognize hardware systems support revenues related to hardware systems support contracts that would have otherwise been recorded by the acquired businesses as independent entities in the amounts of $4 million and $11 for the three months ended August 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. |
Approximately $15 million of estimated new software licenses and cloud software subscriptions revenues assumed will not be recognized during the remainder of fiscal 2013 that would have otherwise been recognized as revenues by the acquired businesses as independent entities due to the application of the aforementioned business combination accounting rules. Approximately $8 million and $2 million of estimated software license updates and product support revenues related to software support contracts assumed will not be recognized during the remainder of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2014, respectively, that would have otherwise been recognized by the acquired businesses as independent entities due to the application of the aforementioned business combination accounting rules. Approximately $7 million of estimated hardware systems support revenues related to hardware systems support contracts assumed will not be recognized during the remainder of fiscal 2013 that would have otherwise been recognized by certain acquired companies as independent entities due to the application of the aforementioned business combination accounting rules. To the extent customers renew these contracts with us, we expect to recognize revenues for the full contracts’ values over the contracts’ renewal periods. |

(3) | Acquisition related and other expenses primarily consist of personnel related costs for transitional and certain other employees, stock-based compensation expenses, integration related professional services, certain business combination adjustments including certain adjustments after the measurement period has ended and changes in fair value of contingent consideration payable (see Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional information) and certain other operating expenses or income, net. In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, acquisition related and other expenses included a benefit of $306 million related to certain litigation (see Note 14 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in the Quarterly Report for additional information). |
(4) | The significant majority of restructuring expenses during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 related to employee severance and facility exit costs in connection with our Fiscal 2013 Oracle Restructuring Plan (the 2013 Restructuring Plan). Restructuring expenses during the first quarter of fiscal 2012 primarily related to costs incurred pursuant to our Sun Restructuring Plan. Additional information regarding certain of our restructuring plans is provided in Note 7 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. |

Stock-based compensation included in acquisition related and other expenses resulted from unvested stock options and restricted stock-based awards assumed from acquisitions whose vesting was accelerated upon termination of the employees pursuant to the terms of those stock options and restricted stock-based awards. |
(6) | The income tax effects presented were calculated as if the above described charges were not included in our results of operations for each of the respective periods presented. Income tax effects were calculated based on the applicable jurisdictional tax rates applied to the items within the table above and resulted in an effective tax rate of 23.4% for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 instead of 24.7%, which represented our effective tax rate as derived per our condensed consolidated statement of operations, due to the disproportionate tax rate impact of discrete items for the quarter, the tax effect of amortization of intangible assets, and differences in jurisdictional tax rates and related tax benefits attributable to our restructuring expenses. Income tax effects were calculated reflecting an effective tax rate of 26.5% for first quarter of fiscal 2012 instead of 25.6%, which represented our effective tax rate as derived per our condensed consolidated statement of operations, primarily due to income tax effects related to our acquired tax exposures and the differences in jurisdictional tax rates and the related tax benefits attributable to our restructuring expenses. |

Software Business
Our software business consists of our new software licenses and cloud software subscriptions segment and software license updates and product support segment.
New Software Licenses and Cloud Software Subscriptions: New software licenses revenues represent fees earned from granting customers licenses to use our database and middleware and our application software products. Cloud software subscriptions revenues represent fees earned from granting customers access to select Oracle software applications and software platforms on a subscription basis in a secure, standards-based cloud computing environment that includes access, hosting, infrastructure management, the use of software updates, and support. We continue to place significant emphasis, both domestically and internationally, on direct sales through our own sales force. We also continue to market our products through indirect channels. Expenses associated with our new software licenses and cloud software subscriptions revenues are included in sales and marketing expenses, which are largely personnel related and include commissions earned by our sales force for the sale of our software products, marketing program costs, the cost of providing cloud software subscriptions services and amortization of intangible assets.

Excluding the effect of unfavorable currency rate fluctuations of 5 percentage points, total new software licenses and cloud software subscriptions revenues increased by 10% in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 due substantially to incremental revenues from our acquisitions. Excluding the effect of currency rate fluctuations, the Americas contributed 70%, EMEA contributed 3% and Asia Pacific contributed 27% to the increase in new software licenses and cloud software subscriptions revenues during the first quarter of fiscal 2013.
Our new software licenses revenues were $1.4 billion in each of the first quarters of fiscal 2013 and 2012. Our cloud software subscriptions revenues were $203 million and $85 million in the first quarters of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. In constant currency, new software licenses revenues and cloud software subscriptions revenues increased by 2% and 139%, respectively, in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 primarily due to revenue contributions from our recent acquisitions. In reported currency, our recent acquisitions contributed $130 million

of growth to our total new software licenses and cloud software subscriptions revenues during the first quarter of fiscal 2013. In constant currency, our new software licenses and cloud software subscriptions revenues increased over the trailing 4-quarters by 8% primarily due to improved customer demand for our products, our sales force’s execution and incremental revenues from our acquisitions.
As a result of our acquisitions, we recorded adjustments to reduce assumed cloud software subscriptions obligations to their estimated fair values at the acquisition dates. Due to our application of business combination accounting rules, cloud software subscriptions revenues in the amount of $19 million that would have been otherwise recorded by our acquired businesses as independent entities were not recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. To the extent underlying cloud software subscriptions contracts are renewed with us following an acquisition, we will recognize the revenues for the full values of the cloud software subscriptions contracts over the contractual periods.
In reported currency, new software licenses revenues earned from transactions of $3 million or greater increased by 10% in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and represented 22% of our total new software licenses and cloud software subscriptions revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 in comparison to 21% in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
Excluding the effect of favorable currency rate fluctuations of 4 percentage points, total new software licenses and cloud software subscriptions expenses increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 primarily due to higher employee related expenses from increased headcount and an increase in intangible asset amortization, partially offset by decreases in variable compensation expenses and certain legal expenses.
Excluding the effect of currency rate fluctuations, total new software licenses and cloud software subscriptions margin and margin as a percentage of revenues increased during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as our total revenues associated with this segment increased at a faster rate than our total expenses.
Software License Updates and Product Support: Software license updates grant customers rights to unspecified software product upgrades and maintenance releases issued during the support period. Product support includes internet access to technical content as well as internet and telephone access to technical support personnel in our global support centers. Expenses associated with our software license updates and product support line of business include the cost of providing the support services, largely personnel related expenses, and the amortization of our intangible assets associated with software support contracts and customer relationships obtained from acquisitions.

Excluding the effect of unfavorable currency rate fluctuations of 5 percentage points, software license updates and product support revenues increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as a result of new software licenses sold (with substantially all customers electing to purchase software support contracts) during the trailing 4-quarter period, the renewal of substantially all of the software support customer base eligible for renewal during the trailing 4-quarter period and incremental revenues from recent acquisitions. Excluding the effect of currency rate fluctuations, the Americas contributed 54%, EMEA contributed 31% and Asia Pacific contributed 15% to the increase in software license updates and product support revenues during the first quarter of fiscal 2013.
In reported currency, software license updates and product support revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 included incremental revenues of $19 million from our recently acquired companies. As a result of our acquisitions, we recorded adjustments to reduce assumed software support obligations to their estimated fair values at the acquisition dates. Due to our application of business combination accounting rules, software license updates and product support revenues related to software support contracts in the amounts of $5 million and $13 million that would have been otherwise recorded by our acquired businesses as independent entities were not recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, respectively. Historically, substantially all of our customers, including customers from acquired companies, renew their software support contracts when such contracts are eligible for renewal. To the extent these underlying support contracts are renewed, we will recognize the revenues for the full values of these contracts over the support periods, the substantial majority of which are one year in duration.
Excluding the effect of favorable foreign currency rate fluctuations of 3 percentage points, total software license updates and product support expenses were flat.
Excluding the effect of currency rate fluctuations, total software license updates and product support margin and margin as a percentage of revenues increased as our revenues increased while our operating expenses remained flat.
Hardware Systems Business
Our hardware systems business consists of our hardware systems products segment and hardware systems support segment.
Hardware Systems Products: Hardware systems products revenues are primarily generated from the sales of our computer server and storage products and include sales of our Oracle Engineered Systems. We market and sell our hardware systems products through our direct sales force and indirect channels such as independent distributors and value added resellers. Operating expenses associated with our hardware systems products include the cost of hardware systems products, which consists of expenses for materials and labor used to produce these products by our internal manufacturing operations or by third party manufacturers, warranty expenses and the impact of periodic changes in inventory valuation, including the impact of inventory determined to be excess and obsolete. Operating expenses associated with our hardware systems products also include sales and marketing expenses, which are largely personnel related and include variable compensation earned by our sales force for the sales of our hardware products, and amortization of intangible assets.

Excluding the effect of unfavorable currency rate fluctuations of 3 percentage points, hardware systems products revenues decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 primarily due to a reduction in the sales volumes of certain of our legacy product lines, including lower margin products. These revenue decreases were partially offset by increases in hardware revenues attributable to our Oracle Engineered Systems.
Excluding the effect of favorable currency rate fluctuations of 4 percentage points, total hardware systems products operating expenses declined primarily due to a reduction in hardware systems products costs associated with lower hardware revenues, lower variable compensation expenses, and lower intangible asset amortization.
Excluding the effect of currency rate fluctuations, total hardware systems products margin and margin as a percentage of revenues decreased primarily due to the decrease in our hardware revenues.
Hardware Systems Support: Our hardware systems support offerings provide customers with software updates for the software components that are essential to the functionality of our hardware systems and can include product repairs, maintenance services and technical support services. Expenses associated with our hardware systems support operating segment include the cost of materials used to repair customer products, the cost of providing support services, largely personnel related expenses, and the amortization of our intangible assets associated with hardware systems support contracts and customer relationships obtained from our acquisitions.

Excluding the impact of unfavorable currency rate fluctuations of 5 percentage points, hardware systems support revenues decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 primarily due to the reduction in sales volumes of certain of our legacy hardware systems product lines. As a result of our acquisitions, we recorded adjustments to reduce assumed hardware systems support obligations to their estimated fair values at the acquisition dates. Due to our application of business combination accounting rules, hardware systems support revenues related to hardware systems support contracts in the amounts of $4 million and $11 million that would have been otherwise reported by our acquired businesses as independent entities were not recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, respectively.

Excluding the effect of favorable currency rate fluctuations of 3 percentage points, total hardware systems support expenses decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 primarily due to a reduction in employee related expenses attributable to decreased headcount, reduced service delivery costs due to operational initiatives, a decrease in bad debt expenses and lower amortization of intangible assets.
Excluding the effect of currency rate fluctuations, total hardware systems support margin and margin as a percentage of total revenues increased due to a reduction in our total hardware systems support expenses.
Services Business
Our services business consists of consulting, managed cloud services and education services. Consulting revenues are earned by providing services to customers in business and IT strategy alignment, enterprise architecture planning and design, initial product implementation and integration and ongoing product enhancements and upgrades. Managed cloud services revenues are earned by providing services for comprehensive software and hardware management and maintenance services for customers hosted at our Oracle data center facilities, select partner data centers or physically on-premise at customer facilities.

Amortization of intangible assets in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 in comparison to the first quarter of fiscal 2012 increased due to additional amortization from intangible assets that we acquired from our acquisitions of RightNow and Taleo in fiscal 2012, amongst others, partially offset by a reduction in expenses associated with certain of our intangible assets that became fully amortized. Note 5 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report has additional information regarding our intangible assets and related amortization.
Acquisition Related and Other Expenses: Acquisition related and other expenses consist of personnel related costs for transitional and certain other employees, stock-based compensation expenses, integration related professional services, certain business combination adjustments including certain adjustments after the measurement period has ended and changes in fair value of contingent consideration payable (see Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report) and certain other operating expenses or income, net. Stock-based compensation expenses included in acquisition related and other expenses resulted from unvested stock options and restricted stock-based awards assumed from acquisitions whereby vesting was accelerated upon termination of the employees pursuant to the original terms of those stock options and restricted stock-based awards.

On a constant currency basis, the decrease in our acquisition related and other expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was primarily due to a $306 million benefit related to certain litigation (see Note 14 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional information), partially offset by an increase in stock-based compensation expenses associated with our recent acquisitions and an increase in expense associated with the change in fair value of contingent consideration payable (see Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional information).
Restructuring expenses: Restructuring expenses result from the execution of management approved restructuring plans that were generally developed to improve our cost structure and/or operations, often in conjunction with our acquisition integration strategies. Restructuring expenses consist of employee severance costs and may also include charges for duplicate facilities and other contract termination costs to improve our cost structure prospectively. For additional information regarding our restructuring plans, see Note 7 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Restructuring expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 primarily related to the 2013 Restructuring Plan, which our management approved, committed to and initiated in order to restructure and further improve efficiencies in our Oracle-based operations. The total estimated restructuring costs associated with the 2013 Restructuring Plan are $297 million and will be recorded to the restructuring expense line item within our consolidated statements of operations as they are incurred. In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we recorded $137 million of restructuring expenses in connection with the 2013 Plan. The majority of the remaining costs are expected to be incurred through fiscal 2014. Our estimated costs may be subject to change in future periods.
Restructuring expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 primarily related to our Sun Restructuring Plan.

We recorded non-operating income, net during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 in comparison to non-operating expense, net in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 primarily as a result of an increase in other income, net, due to favorable changes in the values of our marketable securities that we classify as trading that are held to support our deferred compensation plan obligations.
Provision for Income Taxes: Our effective tax rate in all periods is the result of the mix of income earned in various tax jurisdictions that apply a broad range of income tax rates. The provision for income taxes differs from the tax computed at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate due primarily to earnings considered as indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations, state taxes, the U.S. research and development tax credit and the U.S. domestic production activity deduction. Future effective tax rates could be adversely affected if earnings are lower than anticipated in countries where we have lower statutory tax rates, by unfavorable changes in tax laws and regulations or by adverse rulings in tax related litigation.

Provision for income taxes increased during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 due to higher income before provision for income taxes, partially offset by the favorable effects of an increase in the number of foreign subsidiaries in countries with lower statutory rates than the United States, the earnings of which we consider to be indefinitely reinvested outside the United States.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities | $ | 31,607 | 3% | $ | 30,676 |
Working capital: The modest decrease in working capital as of August 31, 2012 in comparison to May 31, 2012 was primarily due to repurchases of our common stock (we used $3.1 billion of cash for common stock repurchases during the first quarter of fiscal 2013), cash used to pay dividends to our stockholders and cash used for acquisitions, all of which occurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2013. These decreases to working capital were almost entirely offset by the favorable impact to our net current assets resulting from our net income during the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Our working capital may be impacted by some of the aforementioned factors in future periods, certain amounts and timing of which are variable.
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities: Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of deposits held at major banks, money market funds, Tier-1 commercial paper, U.S. Treasury obligations, U.S. government agency and government sponsored enterprise obligations, and other securities with original maturities of 90 days or less. Marketable securities primarily consist of time deposits held at major banks, Tier-1 commercial paper, corporate notes, U.S. Treasury obligations, U.S. government agency and government sponsored enterprise obligations and certain other securities. The modest increase in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at August 31, 2012 in comparison to May 31, 2012 was due to an increase in cash generated from our operating activities, almost entirely offset by $3.1 billion of repurchases of our common stock, the repayment of $1.7 billion of short-term borrowings pursuant to certain revolving credit facilities, cash used for acquisitions and the payment of cash dividends to our stockholders. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities included $25.2 billion held by our foreign subsidiaries as of August 31, 2012, a significant portion of which we consider as indefinitely reinvested earnings outside the United States. These undistributed earnings that are considered as indefinitely reinvested overseas would be subject to U.S. income tax if repatriated to the United States. The amount of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities that we report in U.S. Dollars for a significant portion of the cash held by our foreign subsidiaries is subject to translation adjustments caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates as of the end of each respective reporting period (the offset to which is recorded to

accumulated other comprehensive income in our consolidated balance sheets and is also presented as a line item in our condensed consolidated statements of other comprehensive income included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report). As the U.S. Dollar generally weakened against certain major international currencies as of August 31, 2012 in comparison to May 31, 2012, the amount of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities that we reported in U.S. Dollars for these subsidiaries generally increased as of August 31, 2012 relative to what we would have reported using constant currency rates as of May 31, 2012.
Days sales outstanding, which is calculated by dividing period end accounts receivable by average daily sales for the quarter, was 42 days at August 31, 2012 compared with 53 days at May 31, 2012. The days sales outstanding calculation excludes the revenue adjustments that primarily reduce our acquired cloud software subscriptions obligations, software license updates and product support obligations and hardware systems support obligations to fair value. Our decline in days sales outstanding is primarily due to the collection, in our first quarter of fiscal 2013, of large software license and software support balances outstanding as of May 31, 2012.

Cash flows from operating activities: Our largest source of operating cash flows is cash collections from our customers following the purchase and renewal of their software license updates and product support agreements. Payments from customers for these support agreements are generally received near the beginning of the contracts’ terms, which are generally one year in length. We also generate significant cash from new software licenses sales, sales of hardware systems products and hardware systems support arrangements and, to a lesser extent, services and cloud software subscriptions. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are for employee related expenditures, material and manufacturing costs related to the production of our hardware systems products, taxes and leased facilities.
Net cash provided by operating activities increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 primarily due to increased net income adjusted for amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation and depreciation, improved collections of customer receivables, and a decrease in cash used to pay accrued compensation liabilities such as commissions and bonuses. These cash favorable items were partially offset by an increase in cash used to pay income tax related obligations during the first quarter of fiscal 2013, primarily associated with higher fiscal 2012 income before provision for income taxes, and certain other net cash unfavorable working capital movements, in each case compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
Cash flows from investing activities: The changes in cash flows from investing activities primarily relate to acquisitions and the timing of purchases, maturities and sales of our investments in marketable debt securities. We also use cash to invest in capital and other assets to support our growth.
Net cash used for investing activities decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 primarily due to a decrease in net cash used to purchase marketable securities (net of proceeds received from sales and maturities).
Cash flows from financing activities: The changes in cash flows from financing activities primarily relate to borrowings and payments under debt facilities as well as stock repurchases, dividend payments and proceeds from stock option exercises.
Net cash used for financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 increased in comparison to the first quarter of fiscal 2012 primarily due to an increase in our common stock repurchases (we used $3.1 billion of cash for common stock repurchases during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 in comparison to $800 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012) and an increase in repayments of borrowings (we repaid $1.7 billion of short-term borrowings pursuant to our revolving credit facilities during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 in comparison to our repayment of $1.15 billion of short-term borrowings pursuant to our revolving credit facilities in the first quarter of fiscal 2012).

Free cash flow: 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 flows generated from our 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. We calculate free cash flows as follows:

Long-Term Customer Financing: We offer certain of our customers the option to acquire our software products, hardware systems products and services offerings through separate long-term payment contracts. We generally sell these contracts that we have financed for our customers on a non-recourse basis to financial institutions within 90 days of the contracts’ dates of execution. We record the transfers of amounts due from customers to financial institutions as sales of financial assets because we are considered to have surrendered control of these financial assets. We financed $146 million and $123 million, respectively, or approximately 9% and 8%, respectively, of our new software licenses and cloud software subscriptions revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $27 million and $28 million, respectively, or approximately 3%, of each of our hardware systems products revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and 2012.
Recent Financing Activities:
Revolving Credit Agreement: On July 2, 2012, our revolving credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as initial lender and administrative agent; and J.P. Morgan Securities, LLC, as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner (the 2012 Credit Agreement) to borrow $1.7 billion was repaid in full and the 2012 Credit Agreement expired pursuant to its terms.
Common Stock Repurchases: Our Board of Directors has approved a program for us to repurchase shares of our common stock. On June 18, 2012, we announced that our Board of Directors approved an expansion of our stock repurchase program by an additional $10.0 billion. As of August 31, 2012, approximately $10.0 billion remained available for stock repurchases under the stock repurchase program. Our stock repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date and the pace of our repurchase activity will depend on factors such as our working capital needs, our cash requirements for acquisitions and dividend repayments, our debt repayment obligations, our stock price and economic and market conditions. Our stock repurchases may be effected from time to time through open market purchases or pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan. Our stock repurchase program may be accelerated, suspended, delayed or discontinued at any time.
Contractual Obligations: During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, there were no significant changes to our estimates of future payments under our fixed contractual obligations and commitments as presented in Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended May 31, 2012.
We have agreed to acquire certain companies for amounts that are not material to our business and expect to close such acquisitions within the next twelve months. As described in Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, we have contingent consideration payable as a result of our acquisition of Pillar Data Systems, Inc. that will settle in fiscal 2015.

We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital, capital expenditures and contractual obligation requirements. In addition, we believe we could fund any future acquisitions, dividend payments and repurchases of common stock or debt with our internally available cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, cash generated from operations, additional borrowings or from the issuance of additional securities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements: We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Stock Options and Restricted Stock-Based Awards
Our stock-based compensation program is a key component of the compensation package we provide to attract and retain certain of our talented employees and align their interests with the interests of existing stockholders. We historically have granted only stock options to our employees and any restricted stock-based awards outstanding were assumed as a result of our acquisitions.
We recognize that stock options and restricted stock-based awards dilute existing stockholders and have sought to control the number of stock options and restricted stock-based awards granted while providing competitive compensation packages. Consistent with these dual goals, our cumulative potential dilution since June 1, 2009 has been a weighted average annualized rate of 1.7% per year. The potential dilution percentage is calculated as the average annualized new stock options or restricted stock-based awards granted and assumed, net of stock options and restricted stock-based awards forfeited by employees leaving the company, divided by the weighted average outstanding shares during the calculation period. This maximum potential dilution will only result if all stock options are exercised and restricted stock-based awards vest. Some of the outstanding stock options, which generally have a 10-year exercise period, have exercise prices higher than the current market price of our common stock. At August 31, 2012, 20.7% of our outstanding stock options had exercise prices in excess of the current market price. In recent years, our stock repurchase program has more than offset the dilutive effect of our stock-based compensation program; however, we may reduce the level of our stock repurchases in the future as we may use our available cash for acquisitions, to pay dividends, to repay or repurchase indebtedness or for other purposes. At August 31, 2012, the maximum potential dilution from all outstanding and unexercised stock options and restricted stock-based awards, regardless of when granted and regardless of whether vested or unvested and including stock options where the strike price is higher than the current market price, was 10.3%.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, there were no significant changes to our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk. Please refer to Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended May 31, 2012 for a more complete discussion of the market risks we encounter.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: Based on our management’s evaluation (with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,

summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management (including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer) as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting: There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls: Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level. However, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Our Board of Directors has approved a program for us to repurchase shares of our common stock. On June 18, 2012, we announced that our Board of Directors approved an expansion of our stock repurchase program by an additional $10.0 billion. Approximately $10.0 billion remained available for stock repurchases as of August 31, 2012 pursuant to our stock repurchase program.
Our stock repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date and the pace of our repurchase activity will depend on factors such as our working capital needs, our cash requirements for acquisitions and dividend payments, our debt repayment obligations or repurchases of our debt, our stock price and economic and market conditions. Our stock repurchases may be effected from time to time through open market purchases or pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan. Our stock repurchase program may be accelerated, suspended, delayed or discontinued at any time.
The following table summarizes the stock repurchase activity for the three months ended August 31, 2012 and the approximate dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased pursuant to our stock repurchase program:
