First quarter non-GAAP earnings per share were up 32% to $0.29, and non- GAAP net income was up 32% to $1.5 billion, compared to the same quarter last year. Non-GAAP total revenues were up 18% to $5.4 billion. Non-GAAP total software revenues were up 21% to $4.3 billion and non-GAAP software license updates and product support revenues were up 24% to $3.0 billion.

"Our non-GAAP EPS grew 32% in Q1, and this comes after the 27% growth in Q1 of last year," said Oracle President and CFO, Safra Catz. "We also delivered a Q1 non-GAAP operating margin of 40%, our highest ever in Q1, up 350 basis points from the quarter a year ago. We continue to deliver consistent earnings growth well ahead of plan."

"Oracle has once again increased its database market share according to the latest Gartner research report," said Oracle CEO, Larry Ellison. "Oracle's 49% market share in the survey year 2007 was greater than the market share of the next 4 vendors combined: IBM, Microsoft, Teradata, and Sybase."

"More-and-more Oracle database customers are buying our integrated suite of standards based Fusion middleware to modernize their computing environments," said Charles Phillips, Oracle President. "The Oracle product line of database, middleware and applications is by far the most extensive in the enterprise software industry. That enables us to offer a broader range of solutions than any other software vendor."

"Safe Harbor" Statement: Statements in this press release relating to Oracle's future plans and prospects are "forward-looking statements" and are subject to material risks and uncertainties. Many factors could affect our current expectations and our actual results, and could cause actual results to differ materially. We presently consider the following to be among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations: (1) Economic, political and market conditions could adversely affect our revenue growth and profitability through reductions in IT budgets and expenditures. (2) We may fail to achieve our financial forecasts due to such factors as delays or size reductions in transactions, fewer large transactions in a particular quarter, unanticipated fluctuations in currency exchange rates, delays in delivery of new products or releases, or a decline in our renewal rates for software license updates and product support. (3) We cannot assure market acceptance of new products or new versions of existing or acquired products. (4) We have an active acquisition program and our acquisitions may not be successful, may involve unanticipated costs or other integration issues, or may disrupt our existing operations. (5) Periodic changes to our pricing model and sales organization could temporarily disrupt operations and cause a decline or delay in sales. (6) Intense competitive forces demand rapid technological advances and frequent new product introductions, and could require us to reduce prices. A detailed discussion of these factors and other risks that affect our business is contained in our SEC filings, including our most recent reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, particularly under the heading "Risk Factors." Copies of these filings are available online from the SEC or by contacting Oracle Corporation's Investor Relations Department at (650) 506-4073 or by clicking on SEC Filings on Oracle's Investor Relations website at http://www.oracle.com/investor.

    (1)   We compare the percent change in the results from one period to

          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 rate in effect on May 31,
          2008, which was the last day of our prior fiscal year, rather than
          the actual exchange rates in effect during the respective periods.
          The United States dollar weakened relative to major international
          currencies in the three months ended August 31, 2008 compared with
          the corresponding prior year period, contributing 4 percentage
          points of revenue, 3 percentage points of operating expense and 7
          percentage points of operating income growth.

        respectively, and an effective non-GAAP tax rate of 26.4% and 30.0% in
        the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. Our non-GAAP
        tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 excludes the effect of an
        adjustment to our non-current deferred tax liability associated with
        acquired intangible assets.

    (1) To supplement our statements of cash flows presented on a GAAP basis,
        we use non-GAAP measures of cash flows on a trailing 4-quarter basis
        to analyze cash 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.
    (2) Represents capital expenditures as reported in cash flows from
        investing activities on our cash flow statements presented in
        accordance with GAAP.

                              ORACLE CORPORATION
                       Q1 FISCAL 2009 FINANCIAL RESULTS
                       EXPLANATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

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:

0 Support deferred revenue: Business combination accounting rules require us to account for the fair value of support contracts assumed in connection with our acquisitions. Because these are typically one-year contracts, our GAAP revenues for the one year period subsequent to our acquisition of a business do not reflect the full amount of software license updates and product support revenues on assumed support contracts that would have otherwise been recorded by the acquired entity. The non-GAAP adjustment is intended to reflect the full amount of such revenues. We believe this adjustment is useful to investors as a measure of the ongoing performance of our business because we have historically experienced high renewal rates on support contracts, although we cannot be certain that customers will renew these contracts.

0 Stock-based compensation expenses: We have excluded the effect of stock- based compensation expenses from our non-GAAP operating expenses 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.

0 Amortization of intangible assets expenses: We have excluded the effect of amortization of intangibles expenses from our non-GAAP operating expenses and net income measures. Amortization of intangible assets expenses 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 revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to future period revenues as well. Amortization expenses will recur in future periods.

0 Acquisition related and other expenses, and restructuring expenses: We incurred significant 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 consist of in- process research and development expenses, personnel related costs for transitional employees, stock-based compensation expenses (in addition to the stock-based compensation expenses described above), integration related professional services, certain business combination contingency adjustments after the purchase price allocation period has ended, and certain other operating expenses, net. Substantially all of the stock-based compensation expenses included in acquisition related and other expenses resulted from unvested options assumed in acquisitions whose vesting was fully accelerated upon termination of the employees pursuant to the original terms of those options. Restructuring expenses consist of Oracle 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 expenses and restructuring expenses are not recurring with respect to past acquisitions, we generally will incur these expenses in connection with any future acquisitions.

CACI and Oracle Team To Provide Functionality for Federal Procurement Contracts Management -

ARLINGTON, Va. and REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Oct. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CACI (NYSE: CAI) and Oracle announced today that the two companies have entered into an agreement to jointly develop a Contract Lifecycle Management solution that helps federal organizations author, execute, and manage procurement contracts in compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and other agency supplements. CACI will provide subject matter expertise gained from years of experience designing and implementing contract management systems for the Department of Defense and federal civilian agencies to help Oracle enhance the functionality of its commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) Oracle(R) E-Business Suite. This functionality is expected to support both simplified and complex acquisitions and be integrated with Oracle's procurement and financial management applications to provide a complete procure-to-pay process that meets government compliance mandates and transforms federal contract management.

Oracle Contract Lifecycle Management is an enterprise solution that helps create and enforce better contracts by enabling standardized contract processes, reduced time-to-contract, and contract compliance. The solution builds on existing procurement and contract lifecycle management functionality within Oracle E-Business Suite, providing capabilities to help significantly cut supply management costs for federal customers by integrating requisitioning, sourcing, purchasing, and supplier collaboration with business intelligence. It provides contract professionals with capabilities to author, approve, sign, monitor, track, modify, renew, and close out contracts.

CACI will leverage its experience gained from over 30 years in the federal procurement space to transition the current user community from existing solutions to Oracle's enhanced contract management offering. CACI's depth and breadth of capabilities stem from the development and implementation of widely used acquisition systems and contracting operations that encompass the full spectrum of procurement, ranging from shopping cart buys to complex acquisition management. In addition, the company works with federal customers as a systems integrator to achieve consolidation of acquisition, financial, and other business systems into enterprise resource planning (ERP)-centric models through its broad-based implementation services. The company also specializes in the development and delivery of end-user training programs that integrate agency procurement business processes with automated acquisition applications.

"The combination of Oracle's complete, integrated procurement solution with CACI's expertise in Federal compliance standards, particularly related to the complex contracting process for major acquisitions, provides a significant advantage for our Federal customers. The additional functionality we are developing with CACI will enable customers to make better use of the application to help ensure compliance with established standards to meet even their most challenging needs," said Mark Johnson, Senior Vice President, Public Sector Sales, Oracle North America.

"CACI provides federal agencies with information technology solutions that are built on industry best practices for the business of government," said Gil Guarino, Executive Vice President, Transformation Solutions, CACI International Inc. "Over our 46-year history, we have developed an in-depth understanding of how the federal government works, the missions of civilian and defense agencies, and the importance of procurement and acquisition systems to achieve organizational goals. We are very pleased to work with Oracle and provide state-of-the-art procurement and contract lifecycle management systems to the federal government."
