Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS	1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Basis of Presentation We have prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, we believe that the disclosures herein are adequate to ensure the information presented is not misleading. 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, 2016. 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. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for our fiscal year ending May 31, 2017. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications did not affect total revenues, operating income or net income. During the first half of fiscal 2017, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting In addition, in fiscal 2017, we also adopted ASU 2016-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control There have been no other significant changes in our reported financial position or results of operations and cash flows as a result of our adoption of new accounting pronouncements or changes to our significant accounting policies that were disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016. Acquisition Related and Other Expenses Acquisition related and other expenses consist of personnel related costs and stock-based compensation for transitional and certain other employees, integration related professional services, certain business combination adjustments including certain adjustments after the measurement period has ended and certain other operating items, net. Three Months Ended November 30, Six Months Ended November 30, (in millions) 2016 2015 2016 2015 Transitional and other employee related costs $ 8 $ 8 $ 16 $ 33 Stock-based compensation 11 — 11 3 Professional fees and other, net 22 4 27 9 Business combination adjustments, net (1 ) (19 ) — (20 ) Total acquisition related and other expenses $ 40 $ (7 ) $ 54 $ 25 Included in acquisition related and other expenses in the fiscal 2016 periods presented is an acquisition related benefit of $19 million. Non-Operating Income, net Non-operating income, net consists primarily of interest income, net foreign currency exchange gains (losses), the noncontrolling interests in the net profits of our majority-owned subsidiaries (primarily Oracle Financial Services Software Limited and Oracle Japan) and net other income (losses), including net realized gains and losses related to all of our investments and net unrealized gains and losses related to the small portion of our investment portfolio that we classify as trading. Three Months Ended November 30, Six Months Ended November 30, (in millions) 2016 2015 2016 2015 Interest income $ 204 $ 123 $ 381 $ 240 Foreign currency losses, net (69 ) (28 ) (82 ) (53 ) Noncontrolling interests in income (41 ) (29 ) (76 ) (59 ) Other income (loss), net 5 18 24 (14 ) Total non-operating income, net $ 99 $ 84 $ 247 $ 114 Sales of Financing Receivables We offer certain of our customers the option to acquire our software products, hardware 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 financing receivables because we are considered to have surrendered control of these financing receivables. Financing receivables sold to financial institutions were $121 million and $1.0 billion for the three and six months ended November 30, 2016, respectively, and $228 million and $1.2 billion for the three and six months ended November 30, 2015, respectively. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Income Taxes: In October 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory (ASU 2016-16), which changes the timing of when certain intercompany transactions are recognized within the provision for income taxes. ASU 2016-16 is effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal 2019 on a modified retrospective basis, and earlier adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2016-16 on our consolidated financial statements. Statement of Cash Flows: In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (ASU 2016-18), which provides amendments to current guidance to address the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments Both ASU 2016-18 and ASU 2016-15 are effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal 2019 and earlier adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of these standards on our consolidated financial statements. Financial Instruments: In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13), which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. ASU 2016-13 is effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal 2021, and earlier adoption is permitted beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Leases: In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02). ASU 2016-02 requires companies to generally recognize on the balance sheet operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets. ASU 2016-02 is effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal 2020 on a modified retrospective basis, and earlier adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements, and we currently expect that most of our operating lease commitments will be subject to the new standard and recognized as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon our adoption of ASU 2016-02, which will increase our total assets and total liabilities that we report relative to such amounts prior to adoption. Revenue Recognition: In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606 and issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in August 2015, March 2016, April 2016 and May 2016 within ASU 2015-14, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-12, respectively (ASU 2014-09, ASU 2015-14, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-12 collectively, Topic 606). Topic 606 supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The core principle of Topic 606 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. Topic 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing GAAP, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation, among others. Topic 606 also provides guidance on the recognition of costs related to obtaining customer contracts. Topic 606 is effective for us as of either our first quarter of fiscal 2018 or our first quarter of fiscal 2019 using either of two methods: (1) retrospective application of Topic 606 to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined within Topic 606 or (2) retrospective application of Topic 606 with the cumulative effect of initially applying Topic 606 recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures as defined per Topic 606. Preliminarily, we plan to adopt Topic 606 in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 pursuant to the aforementioned adoption method (1) and we do not believe there will be a material impact to our revenues upon adoption. We are continuing to evaluate the impact to our revenues related to our pending adoption of Topic 606 and our preliminary assessments are subject to change. We are also continuing to evaluate the impact adoption of Topic 606 will have on our recognition of costs related to obtaining customer contracts.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
ACQUISITIONS	2. ACQUISITIONS Acquisition of NetSuite Inc., a Related Party On July 28, 2016, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (Merger Agreement) with NetSuite Inc. (NetSuite), a provider of cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) software and related applications and, as described further below, a related party to Oracle. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we commenced a tender offer on August 18, 2016 to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of NetSuite common stock (NetSuite Shares) at a purchase price of $109.00 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon, based upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated August 18, 2016, and in the related Letter of Transmittal. On November 7, 2016, pursuant to the terms of the tender offer and applicable Delaware law, we accepted and paid for the substantial majority of outstanding NetSuite Shares and effectuated the merger of NetSuite with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oracle and NetSuite became an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Oracle. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, NetSuite Shares that remained outstanding and were not acquired by us were converted into, and cancelled in exchange for, the right to receive $109.00 per share in cash. The unvested equity awards to acquire NetSuite Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the conclusion of the merger were converted into equity awards denominated in shares of Oracle common stock based on formulas contained in the Merger Agreement. We acquired NetSuite to, among other things, expand our cloud software as a service offerings with a complementary set of cloud ERP and related cloud software applications for customers. We have included the financial results of NetSuite in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Lawrence J. Ellison, Oracle’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Technology Officer and Oracle’s largest stockholder, is an affiliate of NetSuite’s largest stockholder, NetSuite Restricted Holdings LLC (a single member LLC investment entity whose interests are beneficially owned by a trust controlled by Mr. Ellison), which owned approximately 40% of the issued and outstanding NetSuite Shares immediately prior to the conclusion of the merger. Oracle’s Board of Directors appointed a Special Committee (comprised solely of directors who are independent of the management of Oracle, Mr. Ellison, his family members and any affiliated entities, and NetSuite) to which it delegated the full and exclusive power, authority and discretion of the Board to evaluate, assess, and approve the NetSuite transaction on its behalf. The Special Committee engaged its own independent legal counsel and its own independent financial advisor to advise it on the transaction. The financial advisor provided the Special Committee with a fairness opinion in connection with the transaction. After extensive deliberations, the Special Committee concluded that the transaction terms were fair to Oracle and the transaction was in the best interests of Oracle and its stockholders. The Special Committee unanimously approved the transaction on behalf of Oracle and the Board. The total preliminary purchase price for NetSuite was approximately $9.1 billion, which consisted of approximately $9.0 billion in cash and $74 million for the fair values of restricted stock-based awards and stock options assumed. Pursuant to our business combinations accounting policy, we estimated the preliminary fair values of net tangible and intangible assets acquired, and the excess of the consideration transferred over the aggregate of such fair values was recorded as goodwill. The preliminary fair values of net tangible assets and intangible assets acquired were based on preliminary valuations, and our estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The primary areas that remain preliminary relate to the fair values of intangible assets acquired, certain tangible assets and liabilities acquired, certain legal matters, income and non-income based taxes and residual goodwill. We expect to continue to obtain information to assist us in determining the fair values of the net assets acquired during the measurement period. The following table summarizes the estimated preliminary fair values of net tangible liabilities and intangible assets acquired from NetSuite: (in millions) Cash and cash equivalents $ 481 Trade receivables, net 32 Other assets 121 Intangible assets 3,157 Goodwill 6,696 Accounts payable and other liabilities (134 ) Deferred revenues (153 ) Debt (342 ) Deferred tax liabilities, net (782 ) Total $ 9,076 We do not expect the goodwill recognized as a part of the NetSuite acquisition to be deductible for income tax purposes. Other Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal 2016 Acquisitions During the first half of fiscal 2017, we acquired certain companies and purchased certain technology and development assets primarily to expand our products and services offerings. These acquisitions were not individually or in the aggregate significant. We have included the financial results of the acquired 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 preliminary purchase price for these acquisitions was approximately $1.5 billion, which consisted of approximately $1.5 billion in cash and $10 million for the fair values of restricted stock-based awards and stock options assumed. We preliminarily recorded $250 million of net tangible assets and $481 million of identifiable intangible assets, based on their estimated fair values, and $816 million of residual goodwill. The preliminary fair value estimates for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for our acquisitions completed during the first half of fiscal 2017 were based upon preliminary calculations and valuations, and our estimates and assumptions for these acquisitions are subject to change as we obtain additional information during the respective measurement periods (up to one year from the respective acquisition dates). The primary areas of those preliminary estimates that are not yet finalized relate to certain tangible assets and liabilities acquired, identifiable intangible assets, certain legal matters, income and non-income based taxes and residual goodwill. We also have entered into certain non-material agreements to acquire certain companies and expect these proposed acquisitions to close during the third quarter of fiscal 2017. During fiscal 2016, we acquired certain companies and purchased certain technology and development assets primarily to expand our products and services offerings. These acquisitions were not significant individually or in the aggregate. Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information The unaudited pro forma financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations for Oracle, NetSuite and certain other companies that we acquired since the beginning of fiscal 2016 that were considered relevant for the purposes of unaudited pro forma financial information disclosure as if the companies were combined as of the beginning of fiscal 2016. The unaudited pro forma financial information for all periods presented included the business combination accounting effects resulting from these acquisitions, including amortization charges from acquired intangible assets (certain of which are preliminary), stock-based compensation charges for unvested restricted stock-based awards and stock options assumed, if any, and the related tax effects as though the aforementioned companies were combined as of the beginning of fiscal 2016. The unaudited pro forma financial information as presented below is for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisitions had taken place at the beginning of fiscal 2016. The unaudited pro forma financial information for the three and six months ended November 30, 2016 combined the historical results of Oracle for the three and six months ended November 30, 2016, the historical results of NetSuite for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2016 (adjusted due to differences in reporting periods and considering the date we acquired NetSuite) and the historical results of certain other companies that we acquired since the beginning of fiscal 2017 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. The unaudited pro forma financial information for the three and six months ended November 30, 2015 combined the historical results of Oracle for the three and six month periods ended November 30, 2015, the historical results of NetSuite for the three and six months ended September 30, 2015 (adjusted due to differences in reporting periods) and the historical results of certain other companies that we acquired since the beginning of fiscal 2016 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. The unaudited pro forma financial information was as follows: Three Months Ended November 30, Six Months Ended November 30, (in millions, except per share data) 2016 2015 2016 2015 Total revenues $ 9,213 $ 9,254 $ 18,045 $ 17,950 Net income $ 1,920 $ 1,990 $ 3,591 $ 3,537 Basic earnings per share $ 0.47 $ 0.47 $ 0.87 $ 0.83 Diluted earnings per share $ 0.46 $ 0.46 $ 0.85 $ 0.81

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS We perform fair value measurements in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurement 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 a 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. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, excluding accrued interest components, consisted of the following (Level 1 and Level 2 inputs are defined above): November 30, 2016 May 31, 2016 Fair Value Measurements Using Input Types Fair Value Measurements Using Input Types (in millions) Level 1 Level 2 Total Level 1 Level 2 Total Assets: Corporate debt securities and other $ 170 $ 37,097 $ 37,267 $ 393 $ 35,095 $ 35,488 Commercial paper debt securities — 3,757 3,757 — 2,155 2,155 Money market funds 552 — 552 3,750 — 3,750 Derivative financial instruments — 54 54 — 122 122 Total assets $ 722 $ 40,908 $ 41,630 $ 4,143 $ 37,372 $ 41,515 Liabilities: Derivative financial instruments $ — $ 268 $ 268 $ — $ 218 $ 218 Our marketable securities investments consist of Tier 1 commercial paper debt securities, corporate debt securities and certain other securities. As of November 30, 2016 and May 31, 2016, approximately 39% and 28%, respectively, of our marketable securities investments mature within one year and 61% and 72%, respectively, mature within one to six years. Our valuation techniques used to measure the fair values of our marketable securities that were classified as Level 1 in the table above were derived from quoted market prices and active markets for these instruments that exist. Our valuation techniques used to measure the fair values of Level 2 instruments listed in the table above, the counterparties to which have high credit ratings, were derived from the following: non-binding market consensus prices that were 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. Based on the trading prices of our $54.2 billion and $40.1 billion of borrowings, which consisted primarily of senior notes and the related fair value hedges that were outstanding as of November 30, 2016 and May 31, 2016, respectively, the estimated fair values of senior notes and the related fair value hedges issued by Oracle using Level 2 inputs at November 30, 2016 and May 31, 2016 were $55.6 billion and $43.2 billion, respectively.

The interest is payable semi-annually. We may redeem some or all of the senior notes of each series prior to their maturity, subject to certain restrictions, and the payment of an applicable make-whole premium in certain instances. The senior notes rank pari passu with any other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of Oracle Corporation. All existing and future indebtedness and liabilities of the subsidiaries of Oracle Corporation are or will be effectively senior to the senior notes. We were in compliance with all debt-related covenants at November 30, 2016. Other Fiscal 2017 Borrowings Activities In the second quarter of fiscal 2017, we assumed $113 million of debt that bears interest at 3.53% and matures in August 2025 in connection with our acquisition of certain land and buildings. In connection with our acquisition of NetSuite in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 (see Note 2 above), we assumed $310 million par value of legacy NetSuite convertible notes (NetSuite Debt) with a fair value of $342 million as of the acquisition date. The NetSuite Debt bears interest at 0.25% and matures in June 2018. Our acquisition of NetSuite triggered (a) the right of holders of the NetSuite Debt to convert their debt holdings into an amount payable in cash, at any time through December 22, 2016, based upon conversion formulas that are contained within the NetSuite Debt indenture and (b) the obligation of NetSuite to offer to repurchase the NetSuite Debt from each holder at a purchase price equal to par, plus accrued and unpaid interest, which offer will expire on December 21, 2016. As of November 30, 2016, $342 million of the NetSuite Debt remained outstanding. In May 2016, we borrowed $3.8 billion pursuant to three revolving credit agreements with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as initial lender and administrative agent (the 2016 Credit Agreements). In June 2016, we repaid the $3.8 billion and the 2016 Credit Agreements expired pursuant to their 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, 2016.

RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES	7. RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES Fiscal 2017 Oracle Restructuring Plan During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, our management approved, committed to and initiated plans to restructure and further improve efficiencies in our operations due to our recent acquisitions and certain other operational activities (2017 Restructuring Plan). The total estimated restructuring costs associated with the 2017 Restructuring Plan are up to $502 million and will be recorded to the restructuring expense line item within our consolidated statements of operations as they are incurred. We recorded $202 million of restructuring expenses in connection with the 2017 Restructuring Plan in the first half of fiscal 2017 and we expect to incur the majority of the estimated remaining $300 million through the end of fiscal 2018. Any changes to the estimates of executing the 2017 Restructuring Plan will be reflected in our future results of operations.

DEFERRED REVENUES	8. DEFERRED REVENUES Deferred revenues consisted of the following: (in millions) November 30, 2016 May 31, 2016 Software license updates and product support $ 5,446 $ 5,864 Cloud SaaS, PaaS and IaaS 954 705 Hardware support and other 605 675 Services 350 339 New software licenses 56 72 Deferred revenues, current 7,411 7,655 Deferred revenues, non-current (in other non-current liabilities) 519 536 Total deferred revenues $ 7,930 $ 8,191 Deferred software license updates and product support revenues and deferred hardware 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 cloud software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) and infrastructure as a service (IaaS) revenues generally resulted from customer payments made in advance for our cloud-based offerings that are recognized over the corresponding contractual term. 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 revenues typically resulted from undelivered products or specified enhancements, customer specific acceptance provisions, customer payments made in advance for time-based license arrangements and software license transactions that cannot be separated from undelivered consulting or other services. In connection with our acquisitions, we have estimated the fair values of the cloud SaaS and PaaS, software license updates and product support, and hardware support obligations, among others, assumed from our acquired companies. We generally have estimated the fair values of these 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 these acquired obligations. These aforementioned fair value adjustments recorded for obligations assumed from our acquisitions reduced the cloud SaaS and PaaS, software license updates and product support and hardware 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.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Fair Value Hedges—Interest Rate Swap Agreements In July 2014, we entered into certain interest rate swap agreements that have the economic effect of modifying the fixed-interest obligations associated with our $2.0 billion of 2.25% senior notes due October 2019 (October 2019 Notes) and our $1.5 billion of 2.80% senior notes due July 2021 (July 2021 Notes) so that the interest payable on these senior notes effectively became variable based on LIBOR. In July 2013, we entered into certain interest rate swap agreements that have the economic effect of modifying the fixed-interest obligations associated with our $1.5 billion of 2.375% senior notes due January 2019 (January 2019 Notes) so that the interest payable on these senior notes effectively became variable based on LIBOR. The critical terms of the interest rate swap agreements match the critical terms of the October 2019 Notes, July 2021 Notes and the January 2019 Notes that the interest rate swap agreements pertain to, including the notional amounts and maturity dates. We have designated the aforementioned interest rate swap agreements as qualifying hedging instruments and are accounting for them as fair value hedges pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging We do not use any interest rate swap agreements for trading purposes. Cash Flow Hedges—Cross-Currency Swap Agreements In connection with the issuance of our €1.25 billion of 2.25% senior notes due January 2021 (January 2021 Notes), we entered into certain cross-currency swap agreements to manage the related foreign currency exchange risk by effectively converting the fixed-rate, Euro-denominated January 2021 Notes, including the annual interest payments and the payment of principal at maturity, to fixed-rate, U.S. Dollar-denominated debt. The economic effect of the swap agreements was to eliminate the uncertainty of the cash flows in U.S. Dollars associated with the January 2021 Notes by fixing the principal amount of the January 2021 Notes at $1.6 billion with a fixed annual interest rate of 3.53%. We have designated these cross-currency swap agreements as qualifying hedging instruments and are accounting for these as cash flow hedges pursuant to ASC 815. The critical terms of the cross-currency swap agreements correspond to the January 2021 Notes, including the annual interest payments being hedged, and the cross-currency swap agreements mature at the same time as the January 2021 Notes. We used the hypothetical derivative method to measure the effectiveness of our cross-currency swap agreements. The fair values of these cross-currency swap agreements are recognized as other assets or other non-current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. The effective portions of the changes in fair values of these cross-currency swap agreements are reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss in our consolidated balance sheets and an amount is reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss into non-operating income, net in the same period that the carrying value of the Euro-denominated January 2021 Notes is remeasured and the interest expense is recognized. The ineffective portion of the unrealized gains and losses on these cross-currency swaps, if any, is recorded immediately to non-operating income, net. We evaluate the effectiveness of our cross-currency swap agreements on a quarterly basis. We did not record any ineffectiveness for the six months ended November 30, 2016 or 2015. The cash flows related to the cross-currency swap agreements that pertain to the periodic interest settlements are classified as operating activities and the cash flows that pertain to the principal balance are classified as financing activities. We do not use any cross-currency swap agreements for trading purposes. Net Investment Hedge—Foreign Currency Borrowings In July 2013, we designated our €750 million of 3.125% senior notes due July 2025 (July 2025 Notes) as a net investment hedge of our investments in certain of our international subsidiaries that use the Euro as their functional currency in order to reduce the volatility in stockholders’ equity caused by the changes in foreign currency exchange rates of the Euro with respect to the U.S. Dollar. We used the spot method to measure the effectiveness of our net investment hedge. Under this method, for each reporting period, the change in the carrying value of the Euro-denominated July 2025 Notes due to remeasurement of the effective portion is reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss in our consolidated balance sheet and the remaining change in the carrying value of the ineffective portion, if any, is recognized in non-operating income, net in our consolidated statements of operations. We evaluate the effectiveness of our net investment hedge at the beginning of every quarter. We did not record any ineffectiveness for the six months ended November 30, 2016 or 2015. 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 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016 for additional information regarding these contracts). As of November 30, 2016 and May 31, 2016, the notional amounts of the forward contracts we held to purchase U.S. Dollars in exchange for other major international currencies were $2.3 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively and the notional amount of forward contracts we held to sell U.S. Dollars in exchange for other major international currencies were $925 million and $2.0 billion, respectively. The fair values of our outstanding foreign currency forward contracts were nominal as of November 30, 2016 and May 31, 2016. Included in our non-operating income, net were $15 million and $21 million of net gains related to these forward contracts for the three and six months ended November 30, 2016, respectively and $27 million of net losses and $70 million of net gains for the three and six months ended November 30, 2015. The cash flows related to these foreign currency contracts are classified as operating activities.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY	10. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Common Stock Repurchases Our Board of Directors has approved a program for us to repurchase shares of our common stock. As of November 30, 2016, approximately $6.3 billion remained available for stock repurchases pursuant to our stock repurchase program. We repurchased 62.0 million shares for $2.5 billion during the six months ended November 30, 2016 (including 0.6 million shares for $24 million that were repurchased but not settled) and 162.1 million shares for $6.2 billion during the six months ended November 30, 2015 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 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. Dividends on Common Stock During the six months ended November 30, 2016, our Board of Directors declared cash dividends of $0.30 per share of our outstanding common stock, which we paid during the same period. In December 2016, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share of our outstanding common stock. The dividend is payable on January 26, 2017 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on January 5, 2017. Future declarations of dividends and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to the final determination of our Board of Directors. Stock-Based Compensation Expense and Valuations of Stock Awards During the first half of fiscal 2017, we issued 49 million restricted stock-based awards (consisting of 47 million service-based restricted stock units (RSUs) and 2 million performance-based restricted stock units (PSUs)) and 21 million stock options. Substantially all of the awards were issued as a part of our annual stock-based award process or in connection with our acquisitions and are subject to service-based vesting restrictions, with the PSUs also having performance-based vesting restrictions, that are of a similar nature to those described in Note 14 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016. Approximately 7 million of the 21 million stock options granted during the first half of fiscal 2017 were to our Chief Executive Officers and Chief Technology Officer and had contractual lives of five years versus the ten year contractual lives for most of the other stock options granted. Our fiscal 2017 stock-based award issuances were partially offset by forfeitures and cancellations of 6 million shares during the first half of fiscal 2017. Stock-based compensation expense is included in the following operating expense line items in our condensed consolidated statements of operations: Three Months Ended November 30, Six Months Ended November 30, (in millions) 2016 2015 2016 2015 Sales and marketing $ 68 $ 55 $ 133 $ 107 Cloud software as a service and platform as a service 6 4 11 8 Cloud infrastructure as a service 1 1 2 2 Software license updates and product support 6 6 12 12 Hardware products 2 2 4 3 Hardware support 1 1 2 3 Services 9 7 17 14 Research and development 188 151 382 298 General and administrative 35 27 72 57 Acquisition related and other 11 — 11 3 Total stock-based compensation $ 327 $ 254 $ 646 $ 507

INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXES	6 Months Ended

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	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 certain earnings considered as indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations, state taxes, the U.S. research and development tax credit, settlements with tax authorities and the U.S. domestic production activity deduction. In addition, beginning in fiscal 2017, the provision for income taxes also differs from the tax computed at the U.S. federal statutory tax rate due to the tax effects of stock-based compensation. Our effective tax rate was 24.3% and 23.6% for the three and six months ended November 30, 2016, respectively, and 17.6% and 20.8% for the three and six months ended November 30, 2015, respectively. Our net deferred tax assets were $183 million and $1.1 billion as of November 30, 2016 and May 31, 2016, respectively. We believe that 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 2015. Our U.S. federal income tax returns have been examined for all years prior to fiscal 2007, and we are no longer subject to audit for those periods. Our U.S. state income tax returns, with some exceptions, have been examined for all years prior to fiscal 2004, 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 our 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 1997. We believe that we have adequately provided under GAAP for outcomes related to our tax audits. However, there can be no assurances as to the possible outcomes or any related financial statement effect thereof. On July 27, 2015, in Altera Corp. v. Commissioner We are under audit by the IRS and various other domestic and foreign tax authorities with regards to income tax and indirect tax matters and are involved in various challenges and litigation in a number of countries, including, in particular, India, Brazil, and Korea, where the amounts under controversy are significant. In some, although not all, cases, we have reserved for potential adjustments to our provision for income taxes and accrual of indirect taxes that may result from examinations by, or any negotiated agreements with, these tax authorities or final outcomes in judicial proceedings, and we believe that the final outcome of these examinations, agreements or judicial proceedings will not have a material effect on our results of operations. If events occur which indicate payment of these amounts is unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in the recognition of benefits in the period we determine the liabilities are no longer necessary. If our estimates of the federal, state, and foreign income tax liabilities and indirect tax liabilities are less than the ultimate assessment, it could result in a further charge to expense.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
SEGMENT INFORMATION	12. SEGMENT INFORMATION ASC 280, Segment Reporting We have three businesses—cloud and on-premise software, hardware and services—which are further divided into certain operating segments. Our cloud and on-premise software business is comprised of three operating segments: (1) cloud software and on-premise software, which includes our cloud SaaS and PaaS offerings, (2) cloud infrastructure as a service and (3) software license updates and product support. Our hardware business is comprised of two operating segments: (1) hardware products and (2) hardware support. All other operating segments are combined under our services business. Our cloud software and on-premise software line of business markets, sells and delivers a broad spectrum of application and platform technologies through our SaaS and PaaS offerings, which are certain of our applications and platforms software delivered via a cloud-based information technology (IT) environment that we host, manage and support, and through the licensing of our software products including Oracle Applications, Oracle Database, Oracle Fusion Middleware and Java, among others. The cloud IaaS line of business includes Oracle Cloud IaaS offerings, which provide infrastructure cloud services that are enterprise-grade, hosted and supported within the Oracle Cloud to perform elastic compute, storage and networking services on a subscription basis; and Oracle Managed Cloud Services, which are comprehensive software and hardware management and maintenance services for customer IT infrastructure for a fee for a stated term that are hosted at our Oracle data center facilities, select partner data centers or physically on-premise at customer facilities. The software license updates and product support line of business generates revenues through the sale of software support contracts related to new software licenses purchased by our customers. The software license updates and product support line of business provides our on-premise software customers with rights to software product upgrades and maintenance releases, patches released, internet access to technical content, as well as internet and telephone access to technical support personnel during the support period. The hardware products line of business provides Oracle Engineered Systems, servers, storage, networking, industry-specific hardware, virtualization software, operating systems including the Oracle Solaris Operating System and management software to support diverse IT environments, including cloud computing environments. Our hardware support line of business provides customers with software updates for the software components that are essential to the functionality of our hardware products, such as Oracle Solaris and certain other software, and can include product repairs, maintenance services and technical support services. Our services business is comprised of the remainder of our operating segments and offers consulting, advanced customer support 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. Advanced customer support services provides on-premise and remote support services to our customers to enable increased performance and higher availability of their Oracle products and services and also include certain other services. Education services provide training to customers, partners and employees as a part of our mission of accelerating the adoption and use of our cloud, on-premise software and hardware offerings. We do not track our assets by operating segments. Consequently, it is not practical to show assets by operating segment. The following table presents summary results for each of our three businesses and for the operating segments of our cloud and on-premise software and hardware businesses: Three Months Ended November 30, Six Months Ended November 30, (in millions) 2016 2015 2016 2015 Cloud software and on-premise software: Revenues (1) $ 2,259 $ 2,164 $ 4,104 $ 3,767 Cloud software as a service and platform as a service expenses 350 270 658 537 Sales and distribution expenses 1,617 1,602 3,197 2,995 Margin (2) $ 292 $ 292 $ 249 $ 235 Cloud infrastructure as a service: Revenues $ 175 $ 165 $ 346 $ 325 Cloud infrastructure as a service expenses 107 88 201 172 Sales and distribution expenses 16 15 32 37 Margin (2) $ 52 $ 62 $ 113 $ 116 Software license updates and product support: Revenues (1) $ 4,778 $ 4,683 $ 9,571 $ 9,380 Software license updates and product support expenses 225 275 481 546 Margin (2) $ 4,553 $ 4,408 $ 9,090 $ 8,834 Total cloud and on-premise software business: Revenues (1) $ 7,212 $ 7,012 $ 14,021 $ 13,472 Expenses 2,315 2,250 4,569 4,287 Margin (2) $ 4,897 $ 4,762 $ 9,452 $ 9,185 Hardware products: Revenues $ 497 $ 573 $ 959 $ 1,142 Hardware products expenses 240 323 480 625 Sales and distribution expenses 202 218 404 424 Margin (2) $ 55 $ 32 $ 75 $ 93 Hardware support: Revenues (1) $ 517 $ 550 $ 1,051 $ 1,109 Hardware support expenses 138 167 279 339 Margin (2) $ 379 $ 383 $ 772 $ 770 Total hardware business: Revenues (1) $ 1,014 $ 1,123 $ 2,010 $ 2,251 Expenses 580 708 1,163 1,388 Margin (2) $ 434 $ 415 $ 847 $ 863 Total services business: Revenues $ 844 $ 861 $ 1,652 $ 1,724 Services expenses 667 665 1,333 1,341 Margin (2) $ 177 $ 196 $ 319 $ 383 Totals: Revenues (1) $ 9,070 $ 8,996 $ 17,683 $ 17,447 Expenses 3,562 3,623 7,065 7,016 Margin (2) $ 5,508 $ 5,373 $ 10,618 $ 10,431 (1) Cloud software and on-premise software, software license updates and product support and hardware support revenues for management reporting included revenues related to cloud SaaS and PaaS, software support and hardware support contracts, respectively, that would have otherwise been recorded by the acquired businesses as independent entities but were not recognized in our consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented. See Note 8 for an explanation of these adjustments and the table below for a reconciliation of our total operating segment revenues to our total revenues as reported in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. (2) The margins reported reflect only the direct controllable costs of each line of business and do not include allocations of product development, corporate, general and administrative and IT expenses. Additionally, the margins reported do not reflect amortization of intangible assets, acquisition related and other expenses, restructuring expenses, stock-based compensation, interest expense or certain other non-operating income, net. Certain fiscal 2016 balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications did not affect consolidated revenues or operating income.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
EARNINGS PER SHARE	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 restricted stock-based awards, stock options, 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: Three Months Ended November 30, Six Months Ended November 30, (in millions, except per share data) 2016 2015 2016 2015 Net income $ 2,032 $ 2,197 $ 3,864 $ 3,945 Weighted average common shares outstanding 4,104 4,239 4,112 4,278 Dilutive effect of employee stock plans 91 77 96 86 Dilutive weighted average common shares outstanding 4,195 4,316 4,208 4,364 Basic earnings per share $ 0.50 $ 0.52 $ 0.94 $ 0.92 Diluted earnings per share $ 0.48 $ 0.51 $ 0.92 $ 0.90 Shares subject to anti-dilutive restricted stock-based awards and stock options excluded from calculation (1) 77 65 74 61 (1) These weighted shares relate to anti-dilutive restricted stock-based awards and stock options as calculated using the treasury stock method and could be dilutive in the future.

Legal Proceedings [Abstract]
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS	14. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Hewlett-Packard Company Litigation On June 15, 2011, Hewlett-Packard Company, now Hewlett Packard Enterprise 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 is our Chief Executive Officer and 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. 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 in June 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 sells those servers (the Phase One Ruling). A jury trial began on May 23, 2016. On June 30, 2016, the jury returned a verdict in favor of HP on its claims for breach of contract and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and against Oracle on its claim for violation of the Lanham Act (the Phase Two Jury Verdict). The jury awarded HP damages in the amount of $3.0 billion, and HP is entitled to post-judgment interest on this award. On August 30, 2016, the court denied HP’s motion for pre-judgment interest. Judgment was entered on October 20, 2016. Oracle filed a motion for a new trial on November 14, 2016. If Oracle’s motion for a new trial is denied, Oracle plans to appeal the trial court’s Phase One Ruling and Phase Two Jury Verdict. No amounts have been paid or recorded to our results of operations either prior to or subsequent to the Phase One Ruling or Phase Two Jury Verdict. We continue to believe that we have meritorious defenses against HP’s claims, and we intend to present these defenses to the appellate court. Among the arguments we expect to make on appeal are the following: the trial court misapplied fundamental principles of contract law and misinterpreted the Hurd Settlement Agreement, including by disregarding the context of the Hurd Settlement Agreement and the evidence of the parties’ mutual intentions; that HP’s breach of contract claim should fail as a matter of law because HP does not claim and did not prove that Oracle failed to deliver any software under the trial court’s interpretation of the contract; that awarding HP both damages for breach of the Hurd Settlement Agreement and specific performance of that agreement constitutes an improper double recovery; and that the damages award is excessive, unsupported by the evidence, and contrary to law. We cannot currently estimate a reasonably possible range of loss for this action due to the complexities and uncertainty surrounding the appeal process and the nature of the claims. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, and the outcome of the appeal process related to this action is uncertain. It is possible that the resolution of this action could have a material impact to our future cash flows and results of operations. 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.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation We have prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, we believe that the disclosures herein are adequate to ensure the information presented is not misleading. 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, 2016. 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. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for our fiscal year ending May 31, 2017. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications did not affect total revenues, operating income or net income. During the first half of fiscal 2017, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting In addition, in fiscal 2017, we also adopted ASU 2016-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control There have been no other significant changes in our reported financial position or results of operations and cash flows as a result of our adoption of new accounting pronouncements or changes to our significant accounting policies that were disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016.
Acquisition Related and Other Expenses	Acquisition Related and Other Expenses Acquisition related and other expenses consist of personnel related costs and stock-based compensation for transitional and certain other employees, integration related professional services, certain business combination adjustments including certain adjustments after the measurement period has ended and certain other operating items, net. Three Months Ended November 30, Six Months Ended November 30, (in millions) 2016 2015 2016 2015 Transitional and other employee related costs $ 8 $ 8 $ 16 $ 33 Stock-based compensation 11 — 11 3 Professional fees and other, net 22 4 27 9 Business combination adjustments, net (1 ) (19 ) — (20 ) Total acquisition related and other expenses $ 40 $ (7 ) $ 54 $ 25 Included in acquisition related and other expenses in the fiscal 2016 periods presented is an acquisition related benefit of $19 million.
Non-Operating Income, net	Non-Operating Income, net Non-operating income, net consists primarily of interest income, net foreign currency exchange gains (losses), the noncontrolling interests in the net profits of our majority-owned subsidiaries (primarily Oracle Financial Services Software Limited and Oracle Japan) and net other income (losses), including net realized gains and losses related to all of our investments and net unrealized gains and losses related to the small portion of our investment portfolio that we classify as trading. Three Months Ended November 30, Six Months Ended November 30, (in millions) 2016 2015 2016 2015 Interest income $ 204 $ 123 $ 381 $ 240 Foreign currency losses, net (69 ) (28 ) (82 ) (53 ) Noncontrolling interests in income (41 ) (29 ) (76 ) (59 ) Other income (loss), net 5 18 24 (14 ) Total non-operating income, net $ 99 $ 84 $ 247 $ 114
Sales of Financing Receivables	Sales of Financing Receivables We offer certain of our customers the option to acquire our software products, hardware 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 financing receivables because we are considered to have surrendered control of these financing receivables. Financing receivables sold to financial institutions were $121 million and $1.0 billion for the three and six months ended November 30, 2016, respectively, and $228 million and $1.2 billion for the three and six months ended November 30, 2015, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Income Taxes: In October 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory (ASU 2016-16), which changes the timing of when certain intercompany transactions are recognized within the provision for income taxes. ASU 2016-16 is effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal 2019 on a modified retrospective basis, and earlier adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2016-16 on our consolidated financial statements. Statement of Cash Flows: In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (ASU 2016-18), which provides amendments to current guidance to address the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments Both ASU 2016-18 and ASU 2016-15 are effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal 2019 and earlier adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of these standards on our consolidated financial statements. Financial Instruments: In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13), which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. ASU 2016-13 is effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal 2021, and earlier adoption is permitted beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Leases: In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02). ASU 2016-02 requires companies to generally recognize on the balance sheet operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets. ASU 2016-02 is effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal 2020 on a modified retrospective basis, and earlier adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements, and we currently expect that most of our operating lease commitments will be subject to the new standard and recognized as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon our adoption of ASU 2016-02, which will increase our total assets and total liabilities that we report relative to such amounts prior to adoption. Revenue Recognition: In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606 and issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in August 2015, March 2016, April 2016 and May 2016 within ASU 2015-14, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-12, respectively (ASU 2014-09, ASU 2015-14, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-12 collectively, Topic 606). Topic 606 supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The core principle of Topic 606 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. Topic 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing GAAP, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation, among others. Topic 606 also provides guidance on the recognition of costs related to obtaining customer contracts. Topic 606 is effective for us as of either our first quarter of fiscal 2018 or our first quarter of fiscal 2019 using either of two methods: (1) retrospective application of Topic 606 to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined within Topic 606 or (2) retrospective application of Topic 606 with the cumulative effect of initially applying Topic 606 recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures as defined per Topic 606. Preliminarily, we plan to adopt Topic 606 in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 pursuant to the aforementioned adoption method (1) and we do not believe there will be a material impact to our revenues upon adoption. We are continuing to evaluate the impact to our revenues related to our pending adoption of Topic 606 and our preliminary assessments are subject to change. We are also continuing to evaluate the impact adoption of Topic 606 will have on our recognition of costs related to obtaining customer contracts.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements (Narrative) [Abstract]
Description of fair value hedges			In July 2014, we entered into certain interest rate swap agreements that have the economic effect of modifying the fixed-interest obligations associated with our $2.0 billion of 2.25% senior notes due October 2019 (October 2019 Notes) and our $1.5 billion of 2.80% senior notes due July 2021 (July 2021 Notes) so that the interest payable on these senior notes effectively became variable based on LIBOR. In July 2013, we entered into certain interest rate swap agreements that have the economic effect of modifying the fixed-interest obligations associated with our $1.5 billion of 2.375% senior notes due January 2019 (January 2019 Notes) so that the interest payable on these senior notes effectively became variable based on LIBOR. The critical terms of the interest rate swap agreements match the critical terms of the October 2019 Notes, July 2021 Notes and the January 2019 Notes that the interest rate swap agreements pertain to, including the notional amounts and maturity dates. We do not use any interest rate swap agreements for trading purposes.
Cash Flow Hedges (Narrative) [Abstract]
Description of cash flow hedges			In connection with the issuance of our €1.25 billion of 2.25% senior notes due January 2021 (January 2021 Notes), we entered into certain cross-currency swap agreements to manage the related foreign currency exchange risk by effectively converting the fixed-rate, Euro-denominated January 2021 Notes, including the annual interest payments and the payment of principal at maturity, to fixed-rate, U.S. Dollar-denominated debt. The economic effect of the swap agreements was to eliminate the uncertainty of the cash flows in U.S. Dollars associated with the January 2021 Notes by fixing the principal amount of the January 2021 Notes at $1.6 billion with a fixed annual interest rate of 3.53%. We have designated these cross-currency swap agreements as qualifying hedging instruments and are accounting for these as cash flow hedges pursuant to ASC 815. The critical terms of the cross-currency swap agreements correspond to the January 2021 Notes, including the annual interest payments being hedged, and the cross-currency swap agreements mature at the same time as the January 2021 Notes. We do not use any cross-currency swap agreements for trading purposes.
Net Investment Hedges (Narrative) [Abstract]
Description of net investment hedge			In July 2013, we designated our €750 million of 3.125% senior notes due July 2025 (July 2025 Notes) as a net investment hedge of our investments in certain of our international subsidiaries that use the Euro as their functional currency in order to reduce the volatility in stockholders’ equity caused by the changes in foreign currency exchange rates of the Euro with respect to the U.S. Dollar.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Not Designated as Hedges [Abstract]
Description of 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 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016 for additional information regarding these contracts). As of November 30, 2016 and May 31, 2016, the notional amounts of the forward contracts we held to purchase U.S. Dollars in exchange for other major international currencies were $2.3 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively and the notional amount of forward contracts we held to sell U.S. Dollars in exchange for other major international currencies were $925 million and $2.0 billion, respectively. The fair values of our outstanding foreign currency forward contracts were nominal as of November 30, 2016 and May 31, 2016.
