Diversified geographic presence and customer base
Oracle has a diversified geographic presence and customer base. The company has strategically
expanded its presence across the globe. It operates in over 145 countries and has been steadily
expanding its geographic footprint. In addition to the traditional markets for its services which include
North America and Europe, the company has been expanding its presence in emerging markets such as
Asia Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa.
Oracle has a diversified customer base belonging to different end markets. The company serves more
than 420,000 customers, including 100 of the Fortune 100. In FY2015, the company had 310,000 Oracle
database customers; 120,000 Oracle Fusion middleware customers; 105,000 Oracle applications

companies, insurers, manufacturers, medical device companies, oil and gas companies, pharmaceutical
companies, retailers, SaaS providers, supply chains, telecommunication companies, universities and
utilities.

MarketLine
Oracle Corporation
SWOT Analysis
Diversified geographic presence and customer base contributes to Oracle's consistent organic revenue
growth which reduces its dependence on any single country or customer. In addition, diverse geographic
presence allows the company to maintain a strong growth pace in its target markets, driven by attractive
market share expansion opportunities and strong underlying market growth characteristics.
Strong software and cloud business
The company has established a strong software business that enabled it to maintain a stream of recurring
revenues. The companys software and cloud business includes software license updates and product
support, new software licenses and cloud software subscriptions, and cloud infrastructure-as-a-service
(IaaS) segments. Oracle is the leader in database software market. Oracle's revenue share is much
higher that its four closest competitors combined. The company is also a leader in application software
and middleware markets. Over the last few years, the company has transitioned itself from a traditional
software vendor to cloud vendor. Increasing adoption of cloud-based subscription software has compelled
Oracle to adopt cloud model. The companys cloud strategy involves integrating its own products such as
Oracle Fusion, which the company claims to be growing in triple digits, as well as through acquisition of
companies in different verticals and integrating them into its cloud model.
The companys software and cloud business accounted for 78%, 77% and 76% of the total revenues in
FY2015, FY2014 and FY2013, respectively. The company also enjoys high software renewal rates. The
customers of Oracle are primarily medium-to-large businesses, including customers in Fortune 1000. The
IT departments of these companies are focused on investing significant resources in optimizing their
Oracle software and several IT staffs have become proficient in Oracle software through usage and
formal certification programs. The companys software support margins during FY2015 were 91% and
accounted for 86% of its total margins over the same period.
Oracles strong growth is attributed to increase in the demand for software products and subscription
offerings, software license updates and product support offerings, and increase in the renewals of
software license updates and product support contracts from customers. The companys strong software
and cloud business, whose products and services are offered on a subscription basis would ensure a
continuous stream of revenue inflow over the years. In addition, it offers a strong recurring revenue base
which enables the company to focus on future growth investments.

MarketLine
Oracle Corporation
SWOT Analysis
Inorganic growth strategy
The company adopts an inorganic growth strategy to enhance its products and services, and expand its
customer base. For instance, in May 2016, Oracle agreed to acquire Opower for approximately $532
million. The new combined entity will be the largest provider of mission-critical cloud services to utilities.
Also in April 2016, Oracle agreed to acquire Textura for approximately $663 million. This acquisition is
expected to add construction contracts and payment management cloud services to the Oracle
Engineering and construction industry cloud platform. The company acquired Maxymiser in August 2015,
enabling the Oracle Marketing Cloud solution to manage marketing programs across all digital channels
and across the customer lifecycle.
Further, in 2014, Oracle acquired Corente, a provider of software-defined networking (SDN) technology
for wide area networks (WANs). The combination of Oracle and Corente is expected to deliver a
technology portfolio for cloud deployments with SDN offerings that virtualize both the enterprise data
center LAN and the WAN. In the same year, Oracle acquired BlueKai, a cloud-based big data platform
that enables companies to personalize online, offline and mobile marketing campaigns with information
about targeted audiences. This acquisition is expected to enhance Oracle's data driven marketing
capabilities. In 2014, the company acquired MICROS Systems, a provider of integrated software and
hardware solutions to the hospitality and retail industries, for approximately $5.3 billion. The addition of
MICROS extended Oracle's offerings in industries by combining MICROS' industry specific applications
with Oracle's business applications, technologies and cloud portfolio. Subsequently, the company
acquired LiveLOOK, a provider of real-time, visual collaboration technology for co-browsing and screen
sharing. Further in July 2016, Oracle agreed to acquire NetSuite for approximately $9.3 billion. NetSuite is
a US-based company, engaged in offering a range of cloud computing business management software
suites for financial management, customer relationship management (CRM), ecommerce and retail
management, professional services automation (PSA) and human capital management (HCM). The
company serves more than 30,000 companies, organizations, and subsidiaries in more than 100
countries.
The company strong focus on growth through acquisitions strengthens its competitive position enhances
the products and services, expands its customer base, provides greater scale to accelerate innovation
and drive revenue growth.
Weakness
Significant indebtedness
The company is highly indebted. As on May 31, 2016, the company had an aggregate of $43.9 billion of
outstanding indebtedness, consisting of $37.8 billion of fixed-rate borrowings, $2.3 billion of floating-rate

MarketLine

SWOT Analysis
borrowings (Floating-Rate Notes) and $3.8 billion of short-term borrowings under a revolving credit
agreement. The debt will mature between 2016 and 2055 and it may also incur additional indebtedness in
the future. There can be no assurance that Oracle will be able to manage any of these risks successfully.
The company may also need to refinance a portion of its outstanding debt as it matures. There is a risk
that Oracle may not be able to refinance existing debt or that the terms of any refinancing may not be as
favorable as the terms of its existing debt. Furthermore, if prevailing interest rates or other factors at the
time of refinancing result in higher interest rates upon refinancing, then the interest expense relating to
that refinanced indebtedness would increase. In addition, changes by any rating agency to the companys
outlook or credit rating could negatively affect the value of both its debt and equity securities and increase
the interest payment on certain outstanding or future debt. The company's high indebtedness may limit its
ability to take strategic actions, which could materially adversely impact its business, financial condition
and results of operations
Opportunity
Increased adoption of cloud computing services
The worldwide demand for cloud computing services is expected to grow significantly in the coming
years. Cloud computing is a computing infrastructure model, which enables delivery of software-as-a-
service (SaaS). Appeal to cloud computing has been increasing as it enables companies to reduce their
expenses related to upfront royalty or licensing payments, investment in hardware infrastructure and
other operating expenses. According to industry estimates, the spending on public cloud Infrastructure as
a Service hardware and software is forecasted to reach $38 billion in 2016 and grow at a compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16% to reach $173 billion by 2026. Also, the SaaS and PaaS portion of
cloud hardware and infrastructure software spending is forecasted to reach $12 billion in 2016 and grow
at a CAGR of 16% to reach $55 billion by 2026. Further, the global public cloud services' spending is
forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 19.4% during 2015-19 periods and reach more than $141 billion in 2019
from $70 billion in 2015.
Oracle has significant presence in the cloud computing market. The company offers a broad portfolio of
enterprise-grade software and hardware products and services for private and public cloud computing
environments on a subscription basis that Oracle hosts, manages and supports. Its cloud offerings
include Oracle Cloud, a comprehensive and fully integrated stack of application, platform, compute and
storage services in all three primary layers of the cloud, including software as a service (SaaS), platform
as a service (PaaS) and infrastructure as a service (IaaS). Oracle Engineered Systems cloud offering
includes Oracle Exadata Database Machine, Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud, Oracle Exalytics In-Memory
Machine, Oracle Database Appliance, Oracle Big Data Appliance, and Oracle SPARC SuperCluster
products. In addition, Oracle software product and hardware-related software portfolio includes Oracle
Fusion Applications in the cloud; Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle Business Process Management Suite for
process integration, Oracle Data Integrator for data integration; Oracle VM for SPARC and x86; and
Oracle Enterprise Manager.

SWOT Analysis
The company has been rapidly expanding in the cloud computing business to leverage the increasing
adoption of cloud computing services by the customers. As part of this transition, the company expanded
its sales team in the Asia-Pacific region. The expansion and proliferation of broadband and mobile
infrastructure in Asia-Pacific region will enable growth in this region, where the cloud market is in its
nascent stages. In addition, the company expanded its product line with the addition of new cloud
products to its existing portfolio. For instance, in April 2015, Oracle Retail launched six new cloud
services, including Oracle Retail Brand Compliance Management Cloud Service, Oracle Retail Customer
Engagement Cloud Service, Oracle Retail Open Commerce Platform Cloud Service, Oracle Retail Order
Broker Cloud Service, Oracle Retail Order Management System Cloud Service, and Oracle XBRi Cloud
Service, to manage e-commerce, customer engagement, order management, order fulfillment, loss
prevention, and brand compliance operations. Further, the strategic acquisition of NetSuite is expected to
enhance the companys cloud software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), infrastructure
as a service (IaaS) and desktop as a service (DaaS) capabilities and provide incremental growth
prospects. The acquisition enables Oracle to capture the mid-tier and small enterprises business. In
March 2015, Oracle launched three new project portfolio management cloud services accelerators
including Oracle Business Process Portfolio Management Cloud Accelerator, Oracle Public Infrastructure
Monitoring Cloud Accelerator, and Oracle Contract Management Cloud Accelerator, for financial services,
public sector, and engineering and construction industries.
Increasing adoption of cloud computing services and the company's strong portfolio of cloud products and
services coupled with continued focus on expanding its cloud offerings will provide Oracle an opportunity
to gain new customers and increase its revenues.
Big data presents growth opportunity
Big Data, which is a primary contributor to the pace of overall data growth, refers to the large repositories
of corporate and external data, including unstructured information created by new applications, including
medical, entertainment, energy and geophysical, social media and other web repositories. It also refers to
the new analytics and other technologies that are available to help people do things with (and unlock the
value contained within) the vast amounts of enterprise and external data. According to industry estimates,
the total amount of digital information is expected to reach 40 zettabytes by 2020. Further, the Big Data
technology and services market was worth $33 billion in 2015. Furthermore, the market is expected to
grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9% during 2015-26 periods to reach $85 billion in
2026.
The company is keen to take advantage of this growth opportunity. Oracle offers products to address
enterprise big data requirements, including embedded Java, Oracle NoSQL Database and MySQL
products for acquiring big data; Oracle Big Data Appliance, a pre-integrated Hadoop appliance that
manages big data; Oracle Data Integration and Oracle Big Data Connectors that integrate data from the

MarketLine
Oracle Corporation
SWOT Analysis
Oracle Big Data Appliance and Oracle Database or Oracle Exadata Database Machine to enable a data
warehouse to further organize, analyze, interpret, report on and act on information from these high
volume data sources. The company also offers analytics software to leverage big data and enterprise
data to enable organizations to analyze the data. Oracle Business Analytics products include data
discovery software, enterprise performance management and analytic applications software, business
intelligence software, and predictive analytics and self-learning decision optimization software. The
company's growing presence, increased focus, and the positive outlook for the end market provide it with
an opportunity to gain more customers and increase its revenues in future.
Positive outlook for mobile computing market
The increasing adoption of smartphones and tablets, touch and connected devices and the increasing
demand for mobile applications is leading the strong growth in the mobile computing market. According to
industry estimates, the mobile cloud market is projected to grow from $9.5 billion in 2015 to $38.5 billion
in 2020, at an estimated CAGR of 26.3%. It is also estimated that by 2020, the market will cross the one
trillion cloud-ready devices benchmark.
Oracle offers a range of software for mobile computing. The companys Oracle Mobile Platform enables
developers to build and extend enterprise applications for popular mobile devices from a single code
base. Oracle Mobile Platform supports access to native device services, enables offline applications and
is designed to protect enterprise investments from future technology shifts. Oracle Mobile Security offers
comprehensive mobile identity and application management for provisioning of trusted access. Oracle
Business Intelligence Mobile provides business intelligence functionality, from interactive dashboards to
location intelligence, while enabling users to initiate business processes from a mobile device.
The company further enhanced its mobile applications during the year. For instance, in May 2015, Oracle
introduced Oracle Documaker Mobile, a new product that enables businesses to produce the same
content for print and for device-responsive mobile delivery. Oracle introduced new mobile capabilities,
including advanced insights; engaging mobile content; notifications; mobile integration; mobile campaign
management; and responsive engagement tools, to its Oracle Marketing Cloud to enhance customer
experience.
The companys growing mobile computing offerings and the strong growth in the end market would
enable Oracle to meet the increasing customer demand for mobile applications and drive topline growth
in the future.

SWOT Analysis
Threat
Intense competition
The company faces intense competition in all aspects of its business. Evolving technology and customer
demands have been constantly changing the competitive landscape. Key competitive factors in each of
the segments in which the company currently competes include total cost of ownership, performance,
scalability, reliability, security, functionality, efficiency, ease of management and quality of technical
support. Oracle's enterprise software and hardware offerings compete directly with the offerings from
some of the largest and highly competitive companies in the world, including Microsoft, IBM, Intel, HP and
SAP, and smaller companies like salesforce.com, and Workday, among others. The company's hardware
systems business competes with, among others, systems manufacturers and resellers of systems;
microprocessor/chip manufacturers; and providers of storage products. The company also faces
competition from open source software initiatives in which competitors may provide software and
intellectual property for free.
In addition, the low barriers to entry in many of the company's market segments new technologies and
new and growing competitors frequently emerge to challenge the companys offerings. In addition, as the
company enters new markets, it faces competition from the existing players and from the firms that may
be partners in other areas of its business, such as Amazon.com. Moreover, the company or its
competitors may take certain strategic actions, including acquisitions, partnerships and joint ventures, or
repositioning of product lines, which invite even greater competition in one or more product categories.
Therefore, technology markets are associated with low barriers to entry and rapid advancements which
give rise to many competitive products with the potential to effectively reduce Oracle's dominant position.
The intense competition may increase the pricing pressures on the company and other players operating
in the same market. If the companys competitors offer deep discounts on certain products or services or
develop products that the marketplace considers more valuable, Oracle may need to lower prices or offer
other favorable terms in order to compete successfully. Any broad-based change to prices and pricing
policies could cause the companys revenues to decline or be delayed as the sales force implements and
customers adjust to the new pricing policies. Some of the competitors may bundle products for
promotional purposes or as a long-term pricing strategy or provide guarantees of prices and product
implementations. These practices could, over time, significantly constrain the prices that the company can
charge for certain of its products.
Intense competition from existing and new hardware systems or software competitors could impact
Oracle's results of operations and business prospects through fewer customer orders, reduced pricing,
lower revenues or lower profits.

SWOT Analysis
Foreign exchange currency risks
Oracle's revenue and operating income are subject to variability due to the effects of foreign currency
fluctuations against the US dollar. The primary currencies to which the company is exposed include the
Euro, Japanese Yen and British Pound. The company derives a significant portion of its revenue and
operating income outside the US, and therefore its financial results may fluctuate due to the effects of
such foreign currency fluctuations. For instance, during FY2015 and FY2014, the company incurred
foreign currency losses associated with its Venezuelan subsidiary due to it being designated as operating
in a highly inflationary economy and due to the subsequent devaluation of the Venezuelan Bolivar relative
to the US Dollar. The company could experience similar foreign currency volatility in the future if the
Venezuelan government further devalues the Venezuelan currency, the amounts and timing of which are
uncertain. In addition, the company may incur similar foreign currency losses for countries that are
dealing with similar risks of high inflation, such as in certain Latin American and other emerging market
countries where Oracle does business. These currency variations could impact margins on sales of the
company's products in countries outside of the US and margins on sales of products that include
components obtained from suppliers located outside of the US.
The company enters into foreign currency forward contracts so fluctuations in the foreign currency
exposures are offset by gains or losses on the foreign currency forward contracts in order to mitigate the
risks and volatility associated with the foreign currency transaction gains or losses. However, these may
not hedge the risk completely leading to foreign exchange currency translation losses. The company
recorded a loss of $110 million due to foreign currency translations in FY2015.
Exchange rate fluctuations from time to time may significantly weaken the company's results of
operations and financial condition.
Oracle may not be able to protect its intellectual property rights
The company may not be able to protect its intellectual rights. Oracle relies on copyright, trademark,
patent and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures, controls and contractual commitments to protect
its intellectual property rights. Unauthorized third parties may try to copy or reverse engineer portions of
its products or otherwise obtain and use its intellectual property, which Oracle may not be able to defend.
For instance, Google won a six-year court case brought by software firm Oracle, which claimed Google
had infringed its copyright by using 11,500 lines of Java code in its Android operating system. Oracle had
contested that Googles use of its proprietary Java code exceeded fair use, and was seeking damages of
up to $9 billion. Android is by far the most popular mobile operating system, with 1.4 billion monthly active
users worldwide and a market share of more than 80%. Those users downloaded 65 billion apps in 2015
alone. In addition, the laws of some countries do not provide the same level of protection to the

companys intellectual property rights as the laws and courts of the US
Thus, if Oracle cannot protect its intellectual property rights against unauthorized copying or use, or other
misappropriation, the company may not remain competitive.

An excerpt from the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations section is given below. The statement has been taken from the company's 10-K filing for
FY2016.
Business Overview
Oracle Corporation provides products and services that address all aspects of corporate information
technology (IT) environmentsapplication, platform and infrastructure. Our Oracle Cloud offerings
provide a comprehensive and fully integrated stack of application, platform, compute and storage services
in all three primary layers of the cloud: Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Our on-premise offerings include Oracle database and middleware
software, application software, hardware (Oracle Engineered Systems, servers, storage, networking and
industry-specific products), and related support and services. We provide our cloud and on-premise
offerings to over 400,000 worldwide customers via deployment models that best suit their needs.
Our comprehensive and fully integrated stack of SaaS, PaaS and IaaS offerings integrate the software,
hardware and services on the customers behalf in IT environments that we deploy, support and manage
for the customer. Our integrated Oracle Cloud offerings are designed to be rapidly deployable to enable
customers shorter time to innovation; easily maintainable to reduce integration and testing work;
connectable among differing deployment models to enable interchangeability and extendibility between
cloud and on-premise IT environments; compatible to easily move workloads between on-premise IT
environments and the Oracle Cloud; cost-effective by requiring lower upfront customer investment; and
secure, standards-based and reliable. We are a leader in the core technologies of cloud IT environments,
including database and middleware software as well as enterprise applications, virtualization, clustering,
large-scale systems management and related infrastructure. Our products and services are the building
blocks of our Oracle Cloud services, our partners cloud services and our customers cloud IT
environments.
In addition to providing a broad spectrum of cloud offerings, we develop and sell our products and
services to our customers worldwide for use in their global data centers and on-premise IT environments.
An important element of our corporate strategy is to continue our investments in, and innovation with
respect to, our products and services that we offer through our cloud and on-premise software, hardware
and services businesses. We have a deep understanding as to how all components within IT
environmentsapplication, platform and infrastructureinteract and function with one another. We focus
our development efforts on improving the performance, security, operation and integration of these

MarketLine
Oracle Corporation
Company View
differing technologies to make them more cost-effective and easier to deploy, manage and maintain for
our customers and to improve their computing performance relative to our competitors. After the initial
purchase of Oracle products and services, our customers can continue to take advantage of our research
and development investments and deep IT expertise by purchasing and renewing Oracle support
offerings, which may include product enhancements that we periodically deliver to our Oracle E-Business
Suite, Siebel, PeopleSoft and JD Edwards application software products, among others, or by renewing
their SaaS, PaaS and IaaS contracts with us.
As customers deploy with the Oracle Cloud, many are adopting a hybrid IT model whereby certain of their
IT resources are deployed and managed through the Oracle Cloud, while other of their IT resources are
deployed and managed on-premise, and both sets of resources can be managed as one. We focus the
engineering of our products and services to best connect these different deployment models to enable
flexibility, ease, agility, compatibility, extensibility and seamlessness.
A selective and active acquisition program is another important element of our corporate strategy. We
believe our acquisitions enhance the products and services that we can offer to customers, expand our
customer base, provide greater scale to accelerate innovation, grow our revenues and earnings, and
increase 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.
Results of Operations
Impact of Acquisitions
The comparability of our operating results in fiscal 2016 compared to fiscal 2015 and in fiscal 2015
compared to fiscal 2014 was impacted by our recent acquisitions. In our discussion of changes in our
results of operations from fiscal 2016 compared to fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2015 compared to fiscal 2014,
we may qualitatively disclose the impact of our acquired products and services (for the one-year period
subsequent to the acquisition date) to the growth in certain of our operating segments revenues where
such qualitative discussions would be meaningful for an understanding of the factors that influenced the
changes in our results of operations. When material, we may also provide quantitative disclosures related
to such acquired products and services. Expenses for each of the respective period comparisons
generally were not separately identifiable due to the integration of these businesses and operating
segments into our existing operations, and/or were insignificant to our results of operations during the

MarketLine
Oracle Corporation
Company View
periods presented.
We caution readers that, while pre- and post-acquisition comparisons, as well as any quantified amounts
themselves, may provide indications of general trends, any acquisition information that we provide has
inherent limitations for the following reasons:
any qualitative and quantitative disclosures cannot specifically address or quantify 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 and services sold would have been different; and
although substantially all of our on-premise software license 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 SaaS and PaaS contracts and hardware
support contracts, the amounts shown as cloud SaaS and PaaS deferred revenues, software license
updates and product support deferred revenues, and hardware 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 renewals to the extent customers do not renew.
Fiscal 2016 Compared to Fiscal 2015:
Our results of operations for fiscal 2016 compared to fiscal 2015 were significantly impacted by
movements in international currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar, which decreased our total revenues by 5
percentage points, total operating expenses by 4 percentage points and total operating margin by 7
percentage points.
Excluding the effects of unfavorable currency rate fluctuations, our total revenues increased in fiscal 2016
due to constant currency growth in our cloud and on premise software business revenues and services
business revenues. The constant currency growth in our cloud and on-premise software business
revenues during fiscal 2016 was attributable to growth in our software license updates and product
support revenues, growth in our SaaS, PaaS and IaaS revenues, and revenue contributions from our
recent acquisitions and was partially offset by fiscal 2016 decreases in our new software licenses
revenues. The constant currency growth in our services business revenues was primarily attributable to
our recent acquisitions. These constant currency increases in our revenues during fiscal 2016 were

MarketLine
Oracle Corporation
Company View
partially offset by constant currency decreases in our hardware business revenues. In constant currency,
the EMEA region and the Asia Pacific region contributed approximately equal amounts to our fiscal 2016
total revenues growth and the Americas was flat.
Excluding the effects of favorable currency rate fluctuations, our total operating expenses increased
during fiscal 2016 primarily due to increased sales and marketing and research and development
expenses resulting primarily from increased headcount, increased cloud SaaS, PaaS and IaaS expenses
resulting from increased headcount and infrastructure expenses to support the increase in our cloud
SaaS, PaaS and IaaS revenues, higher restructuring expenses that were recorded pursuant to the Fiscal
2015 Oracle Restructuring Plan (2015 Restructuring Plan; see Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report), and higher general and administrative expenses
due to higher headcount and higher professional services fees, primarily legal related fees. These
constant currency expense increases were partially offset by fiscal 2016 reductions in expenses
associated with certain of our intangible assets that became fully amortized during fiscal 2016 and lower
acquisition related and other expenses, which primarily was attributable to higher expenses during fiscal
2015 as a result of a goodwill impairment loss of $186 million (see Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional information).
Excluding the effects of unfavorable foreign currency rate fluctuations, our total operating margin and total
operating margin as a percentage of revenues decreased in fiscal 2016 as our total expenses increased
at a faster rate than our total revenues.
Fiscal 2015 Compared to Fiscal 2014:
Our results of operations for fiscal 2015 compared to fiscal 2014 were significantly impacted by
movements in international currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar, which decreased our total revenues by 4
percentage points, total operating expenses by 3 percentage points and total operating income by 6
percentage points.
Excluding the effects of unfavorable currency variations, our total revenues increased in fiscal 2015 due
to revenue increases in our cloud and on-premise software and hardware businesses. The constant
currency growth in our cloud and on-premise software revenues was attributable to similar reasons as
noted above. The constant currency growth in our hardware business was attributable to growth in our
hardware support revenues, which were primarily attributable to revenue contributions from our
acquisitions. Excluding the effects of currency rate fluctuations, the Americas region contributed 69%, the
EMEA region contributed 28% and the Asia Pacific region contributed 3% to the growth in our total

MarketLine
Oracle Corporation
Company View
revenues during fiscal 2015.
Excluding the effects of favorable currency variations, our total operating expenses increased during
fiscal 2015 due to expense increases across all of our lines of business, the largest of which were due to
increased sales and marketing and research and development expenses resulting primarily from
increased headcount, increased cloud SaaS and PaaS expenses to support the increase in our cloud
SaaS and PaaS revenues, and increased acquisition related and other expenses that was primarily
attributable to the goodwill impairment charge as noted above.
Excluding the effects of unfavorable foreign currency rate fluctuations, our fiscal 2015 operating margin
was flat in comparison to the prior year, while our operating margin as a percentage of revenues
decreased in fiscal 2015 as our total operating expenses increased at a faster rate than our total
revenues.
