AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle Corporation (NYSE: ORCL) today announced Q1 FY27 results with strong revenue growth. Total quarterly revenues increased 30% to $19.3 billion, reflecting strong execution in our infrastructure business, with the delivery of 850MW additional datacenter capacity. Cloud revenues (IaaS + SaaS) increased 62% to $11.6 billion, driven by 121% growth in Cloud Infrastructure (IaaS), and 10% growth in Cloud Applications (SaaS). Software revenues were down 3% to $5.5 billion, reflecting our customers' continuing migration from on-premises software to the Cloud. Services revenues were $1.4 billion, up 5%, and Hardware revenues were $0.8 billion, up 15%.

Oracle generated Q1 GAAP operating income of $6.7 billion, up 57%, while non-GAAP operating income rose to $8.2 billion, up 31%, driven by continued broad-based demand in Cloud Infrastructure and Cloud Applications. GAAP net income available to common shareholders reached $4.7 billion, up 60%, and non-GAAP net income available to common shareholders grew to $5.8 billion, up 34%. Q1 GAAP earnings per share increased to $1.56, up 55%, and non-GAAP earnings per share climbed to $1.92, up 30%.

Oracle's strong operating income translated to a record Q1 operating cash flow of $23 billion, up 184%. Free cash flow was negative $5 billion for Q1 as Oracle continued to execute on investments to support the growth of its Cloud Infrastructure business.

Remaining Performance Obligations
Customer demand for AI Cloud Training and Inferencing Services continues to grow faster than supply. Oracle booked more than $30 billion of additional AI cloud contracts in Q1 increasing its RPO to $664 billion. Based on the structuring of those new contracts, the Company confirms there is no incremental impact on its plans to raise capital. Since the end of Q4, Oracle also delivered more than 300,000 GPUs to its AI Cloud customers and almost triple the capacity delivered in Q4 FY26.

Capital Investment Program and Capital Funding
During Q1 FY 2027, Oracle successfully completed the sale of $20 billion of common stock (before commissions) through an At-the-Market (ATM) equity program, as part of its previously disclosed capital investment program.

Guidance for Q2 FY 2027
Oracle is providing the following forward-looking guidance for Q2 FY 2027:

  • Total revenues are expected to grow between 30% and 34% in constant currency and USD.

  • Total Cloud revenue is expected to grow between 64% and 70% in constant currency and between 65% and 71% in USD.

  • Non-GAAP earnings per share is expected to be between $1.83 and $1.91 in constant currency and between $1.85 and $1.93 in USD, which represents growth of 19% to 23% in constant currency and 21% to 25% in USD excluding a one-time gain from Q2 FY20261.

Guidance for Full FY 2027
For fiscal year 2027, we now expect total revenue to be at least $90 billion, and non-GAAP EPS to be at $8.10.

New Oracle AI Data Platform Automatically Generates Enterprise Ontology
Virtually all of Oracle's enterprise customers want to use AI to reason on their private data and to use AI agents to automate their business processes. To do this efficiently, customers must first precisely describe the semantic details of their private data and business processes in an Enterprise Ontology (a model defining the core concepts, relationships and rules of the business). Palantir pioneered the use of AI on private enterprise data by carefully crafting Enterprise Ontologies for each of their customers. The new Oracle AI Data Platform fully automates the creation of Enterprise Ontologies—making it inexpensive, easy and fast and for any enterprise to use the most advanced AI models to reason on their private data and automate their business processes.

New 100% Agentic AI Health Care Management System for Hospitals and Clinics
Oracle's AI Health Care Management and Electronic Health Records system is an all-new 100% Agentic system made up of a collection of AI agents for every medical specialty from General Medicine to Oncology to Radiology. These specialized AI agents assist medical professionals in diagnosing and treating their patients—leading to better quality of care and better outcomes. AI is on the brink of making quality healthcare accessible to more people throughout the world.

Common Stock Quarterly Dividend
The board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.50 per share of outstanding common stock. This dividend will be paid to stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 9, 2026, with a payment date of October 23, 2026.

Footnote
1 – Q2 FY26 results included a one-time net investment gain from the sale of Oracle's interest in Ampere. Including the investment gain, Q2 FY27 non-GAAP earnings per share is expected to decline between -19% and -15% in constant currency and decline between -18% and -14% in USD.

Earnings Conference Call and Webcast
Oracle will hold a conference call and webcast today to discuss these results at 4:00 p.m. Central. A live and replay webcast will be available on the Oracle Investor Relations website at www.oracle.com/investor/.

We compare the percent change in the results from one period to another period using constant currency disclosure. We present constant currency information to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. To present this information, current and comparative prior period results for entities reporting in currencies other than United States dollars are converted into United States dollars at the exchange rates in effect on May 31, 2026, which was the last day of our prior fiscal year, rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the respective periods. Movements in international currencies relative to the United States dollar during the three months ended August 31, 2026 compared with the corresponding prior year period decreased our total operating expenses by 1 percentage point.

Provision for income taxes for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 includes the impact of the U.S. One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act, which was signed into law on July 4, 2025.

Income tax effects were calculated reflecting an effective GAAP tax rate of 15.1% and 14.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 and 2026, respectively, and an effective non-GAAP tax rate of 16.9% and 20.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 and 2026, respectively. The difference in our GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates in each of the first quarters of fiscal 2027 and 2026 was primarily due to the net tax effects related to stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets and restructuring and other expense, partially offset by the net deferred tax effects related to an income tax benefit that was previously recorded due to the partial realignment of our legal entity structure; and, for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, also due to the impact of the U.S. One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act (refer to Appendix A for additional information).
