AUSTIN, Texas, March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Oracle Corporation (NYSE: ORCL) today announced fiscal 2025 Q3 results. Total Remaining Performance Obligations were up 62% year-over-year in USD, and up 63% in constant currency, to $130 billion. Total quarterly revenues were up 6% year-over-year in USD, and up 8% in constant currency, to $14.1 billion. Cloud services and license support revenues were up 10% year-over-year in USD, and up 12% in constant currency, to $11.0 billion. Cloud license and on-premise license revenues were down 10% in USD and down 8% in constant currency, to $1.1 billion.             

Q3 GAAP operating income was $4.4 billion. Non-GAAP operating income was $6.2 billion, up 7% in USD, and up 9% in constant currency. GAAP operating margin was 31%, and non-GAAP operating margin was 44%. GAAP net income was $2.9 billion, up 22% in USD, and up 27% in constant currency. Non-GAAP net income was $4.2 billion, up 6% in USD, and up 9% in constant currency. Q3 GAAP earnings per share was $1.02, up 20% in USD and up 25% in constant currency, while non-GAAP earnings per share was $1.47, up 4% in USD, and up 7% in constant currency.

Short-term deferred revenues were $9.0 billion. Over the last twelve months, operating cash flow was $20.7 billion and free cash flow was $5.8 billion.

“Oracle signed sales contracts for more than $48 billion in Q3,” said Oracle CEO, Safra Catz. “This record sales number pushed our Remaining Performance Obligations, or RPO, up 63% to over $130 billion. We have now signed cloud agreements with several world leading technology companies including: OpenAI, xAI, Meta, NVIDIA and AMD. We expect that our huge $130 billion sales backlog will help drive a 15% increase in Oracle’s overall revenue in our next fiscal year beginning this June. And we expect RPO to continue to grow rapidly—as we look forward to signing our first Stargate contract—yet another big opportunity for Oracle to expand both its AI training and AI inferencing businesses in the near future.”



“We are on schedule to double our data center capacity this calendar year,” said Oracle Chairman and CTO, Larry Ellison. “Customer demand is at record levels. Our Database MultiCloud revenue from Microsoft, Google and Amazon is up 92% in the last three months alone. GPU consumption for AI training grew 244% in the last 12 months. And we are seeing enormous demand for AI inferencing on our customers’ private data. So, we are connecting OpenAI ChatGPT, xAI Grok and Meta Llama directly to Version 23ai of the Oracle Database with advanced vector capabilities. This new product, called the Oracle AI Data Platform, makes it easy for customers to use any of the world’s leading AI models to analyze all of their private data—while keeping all their data private and secure.”  

Oracle also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.50 per share of outstanding common stock, reflecting a 25% increase over the current quarterly dividend of $0.40. Larry Ellison, Oracle’s Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Technology Officer, and largest stockholder, did not participate in the deliberation or the vote on this matter. This increased dividend will be paid to stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 10, 2025, with a payment date of April 23, 2025.

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, 2024, 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 February 28, 2025 compared with the corresponding prior year period decreased our total revenues by 2

percentage points, total operating expenses by 1 percentage point and operating income by 4 percentage points.
