Key Terms

remaining performance obligations, non-gaap, mandatory convertible preferred stock, at-the-market, +4 more

8 terms

remaining performance obligations financial

"Remaining Performance Obligations, or RPO, ended the quarter at $553 billion..."

Remaining performance obligations are the work a company still needs to complete for its customers, like finishing a service or delivering a product. It’s important because it shows how much future income the company has coming in from current agreements, giving a clearer picture of its ongoing business.

non-gaap financial

"Q3 GAAP Earnings per Share up 24% to $1.27, Non-GAAP Earnings per Share up 21%..."

Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.

mandatory convertible preferred stock financial

"mandatory convertible preferred stock, with a record order book that was..."

A mandatory convertible preferred stock is a type of investment that pays regular income like a preferred share but is designed to automatically turn into a set number of common shares at a future date, much like a timed coupon that becomes company ownership. It matters to investors because it combines a near-term income stream with a guaranteed future increase in the company’s share count, which can dilute existing owners and change earnings-per-share and voting balance.

at-the-market financial

"We have not yet initiated the at-the-market equity portion of the financing program."

"At-the-market" is a method for companies to sell new shares of stock directly into the open market over time, rather than all at once. It allows companies to raise money gradually, similar to selling slices of a pie instead of the entire pie at once, which can help manage the sale's impact on the stock price. This approach gives investors a steady supply of shares while providing companies with flexible funding options.

operating cash flow financial

"Over the last twelve months, operating cash flow was $23.5 billion..."

Operating cash flow is the amount of money a company earns from its main business activities, like selling products or services. It shows how well the company can generate cash to pay bills, invest in growth, or return money to shareholders. This figure helps investors understand if the company’s core operations are healthy and sustainable.

forward-looking statements regulatory

"are "forward-looking statements" and are subject to material risks and uncertainties."

Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

stock-based compensation financial

"Stock-based compensation was included in the following GAAP operating expense categories:"

Stock-based compensation is when a company pays employees, directors or consultants with shares or the right to buy shares instead of or in addition to cash. It matters to investors because issuing stock or options spreads ownership thinner (like cutting a pie into more slices), which can reduce each existing share’s claim on profits and can also change reported earnings; investors watch it to assess true cost of running the business and how management is incentivized.

constant currency financial

"We compare the percent change in the results from one period to another period using constant currency..."

Constant currency is a way of measuring financial results that removes the effects of changes in currency exchange rates. It allows for a clearer comparison of a company's performance over time by showing what the numbers would look like if exchange rates had stayed the same. This helps investors understand whether growth comes from actual business improvements or just currency fluctuations.

AUSTIN, Texas, March 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle Corporation (NYSE: ORCL) today announced that Q3 fiscal 2026 was an exceptional quarter with financial results that exceeded expectations. This Q3 was the first quarter in over 15 years where organic total revenue and non-GAAP earnings per share both grew at 20% or more in USD. Cloud revenue was at the high end of our guidance, total revenue was at the high end of constant currency guidance and above USD guidance, and non-GAAP earnings per share were above our guidance in both USD and constant currency.

Financial Results for Q3 FY26
Total quarterly revenues were up 22% in USD, and up 18% in constant currency to $17.2 billion. Cloud revenues were up 44% in USD, and up 41% in constant currency to $8.9 billion. Software revenues were up 3% in USD, and down 1% in constant currency to $6.1 billion.

Q3 GAAP operating income was $5.5 billion. Non-GAAP operating income was $7.4 billion, up 19% year-over-year in USD and up 14% in constant currency. GAAP net income was $3.7 billion. Non-GAAP net income was $5.2 billion, up 23% in USD and up 18% in constant currency. Q3 GAAP earnings per share was $1.27, up 24% in USD and up 16% in constant currency. Non-GAAP earnings per share was $1.79, up 21% in USD and up 16% in constant currency. 

Short-term deferred revenues were $9.9 billion. Over the last twelve months, operating cash flow was $23.5 billion, up 13% in USD.

Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining Performance Obligations, or RPO, ended the quarter at $553 billion, up 325% from last year and up $29 billion from last quarter. Most of the increase in RPO in Q3 related to large scale AI contracts where Oracle does not expect to have to raise any incremental funds to support these contracts as most of the equipment needed is either funded upfront via customer prepayments so Oracle can purchase the GPUs, or the customer buys the GPUs and supplies them to Oracle.

Capital Funding
In February, we announced our intent to raise up to $50 billion dollars in debt and equity financing, along with the statement that we do not expect to issue any additional bonds beyond this amount in calendar year 2026. Within days of the announcement, Oracle raised $30 billion through a combination of investment grade bonds and mandatory convertible preferred stock, with a record order book that was substantially oversubscribed. We have not yet initiated the at-the-market equity portion of the financing program.

AI Market and Technology Evolution
The demand for cloud computing for AI training and inferencing continues to grow faster than supply. Furthermore, some of the largest consumers of AI Cloud capacity have recently strengthened their financial positions quite substantially. These market dynamics enable Oracle to comfortably meet and likely exceed our revenue growth rate forecast for FY27 and beyond.

AI models for generating computer code have become so efficient that we have been restructuring our product development teams into smaller, more agile and productive groups. This new AI Code Generation technology is enabling us to build more software in less time with fewer people. Oracle is now building more SaaS applications for more industries at a lower cost. AI code generation is making our SaaS application suites more competitive and more profitable.

Guidance for Q4 FY26
The company is providing the following forward-looking guidance for Q4 2026:

• Total revenues are expected to grow from 18% to 20% in constant currency and are expected to grow from 19% to 21% in USD.
• Total Cloud revenue is expected to grow between 44% to 48% in constant currency and is expected to grow from 46% to 50% in USD.
• Non-GAAP earnings per share is expected to grow between 15% to 17% and be between $1.92 and $1.96 in constant currency and grow between 15% to 17% and be between $1.96 and $2.00 in USD.

Guidance for Fiscal Years 2026 and 2027
For fiscal year 2026, we expect revenue of $67 billion and capital expenditures of $50 billion. This is unchanged from our most recent previous guidance. 

For fiscal year 2027, we are raising total revenue guidance to $90 billion.

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 April 9, 2026, with a payment date of April 24, 2026.

The difference in our GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates in each of the third quarters of fiscal 2026 and 2025 was primarily due to the net tax effects related to stock-based compensation expense; acquisition related and other items, including the tax effects on amortization of intangible assets; and restructuring 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.

(1)	This presentation includes non-GAAP measures. Our non-GAAP measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures, and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. For a detailed explanation of the adjustments made to comparable GAAP measures, the reasons why management uses these measures, the usefulness of these measures and the material limitations on the usefulness of these measures, please see Appendix A.
(2)	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, 2025, which was the last day of our prior fiscal year, rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the respective periods.

(4)	Estimated future annual amortization expense related to intangible assets as of February 28, 2026 was as follows:
	Remainder of fiscal 2026		$               421
	Fiscal 2027		729
	Fiscal 2028		692
	Fiscal 2029		618
	Fiscal 2030		580
	Fiscal 2031		375
	Thereafter		226
	Total intangible assets, net		$           3,641
(5)	Income tax effects were calculated reflecting an effective GAAP tax rate and non-GAAP tax rate of 9.9% and 19.7%, respectively, in each of the first nine months of fiscal 2026 and 2025. The difference in our GAAP and non- GAAP tax rates in each of the first nine months of fiscal 2026 and 2025 was primarily due to the net tax effects related to stock-based compensation expense; acquisition related and other items, including the tax effects on amortization of intangible assets; and restructuring 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 nine months of fiscal 2026, the impact of the U.S. One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act (refer to Appendix A for additional information).

(1)	To supplement our statements of cash flows presented on a GAAP basis, we use non-GAAP measures of cash flows on a trailing four-quarter basis to analyze cash flow generated from operations. We believe free cash flow is also useful as one of the bases for comparing our performance with our competitors. The presentation of non-GAAP free cash flow is not meant to be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity.

To supplement our financial results presented on a GAAP basis, we use the non-GAAP measures indicated in the tables, which exclude certain business combination accounting entries and expenses related to acquisitions, as well as other significant expenses including stock-based compensation, that we believe are helpful in understanding our past financial performance and our future results. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Compensation of our executives is based in part on the performance of our business based on these non-GAAP measures. Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on the following items, as well as the related income tax effects related to each of the below items except for the impact of the U.S. One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act:

• Stock-based compensation expenses: We have excluded the effect of stock-based compensation expenses from our non-GAAP operating expenses, income tax effects and net income measures. Although stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to our employees, and we believe such compensation contributed to the revenues earned during the periods presented and also believe it will contribute to the generation of future period revenues, we continue to evaluate our business performance excluding stock-based compensation expenses. Stock-based compensation expenses will recur in future periods.

• Amortization of intangible assets: We have excluded the effect of amortization of intangible assets from our non-GAAP operating expenses, income tax effects and net income measures. Amortization of intangible assets is inconsistent in amount and frequency and is significantly affected by the timing and size of our acquisitions. Investors should note that the use of intangible assets contributed to our revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to our future period revenues as well. Amortization of intangible assets will recur in future periods.

• Acquisition related and other expenses; and restructuring expenses: We have excluded the effect of acquisition related and other expenses and the effect of restructuring expenses from our non-GAAP operating expenses, income tax effects and net income measures. We incurred expenses in connection with our acquisitions and also incurred certain other operating expenses or income, which we generally would not have otherwise incurred in the periods presented as a part of our continuing operations. Acquisition related and other expenses consisted of personnel-related costs for transitional and certain other employees, certain business combination adjustments including certain adjustments after the measurement period has ended, and certain other operating items, net. Restructuring expenses consisted of employee severance and other exit costs. We believe it is useful for investors to understand the effects of these items on our total operating expenses. Although acquisition related and other expenses and restructuring expenses may diminish over time with respect to past acquisitions and/or strategic initiatives, we generally will incur certain of these expenses in connection with any future acquisitions and/or strategic initiatives.

• Impact of the U.S. One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA): OBBBA was signed into law on July 4, 2025. We recorded a net tax expense of $958 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2026, primarily related to the remeasurement of a deferred tax liability previously recorded during fiscal 2021, as part of the partial realignment of our legal entity structure. We have excluded the impact of this charge from our non-GAAP income taxes and net income measures in the first nine months of fiscal 2026. We believe making these adjustments provides insight to our operating performance and comparability to past operating results.
