Without the $0.04 per share impact of the US dollar strengthening compared to
foreign currencies, Oracle's reported Q2 GAAP earnings per share would have
been up 11% to $0.29, with total GAAP revenues up 12%, quarterly GAAP net
income up 10%, GAAP software revenues up 14%, GAAP new software license
revenues up 5%, GAAP software license updates and product support revenues up
20%, GAAP services revenues up 5%, and GAAP operating income up 20%.

Second quarter non-GAAP earnings per share were up 9% to $0.34, and non- GAAP
net income was up 8% to $1.7 billion, compared to the same quarter last year.
Non-GAAP total revenues were up 6% to $5.7 billion. Non-GAAP software revenues
were up 8% to $4.6 billion and non-GAAP software license updates and product
support revenues were up 15% to $2.9 billion.

Without the $0.03 per share impact of the US dollar strengthening compared to
foreign currencies, Oracle's reported Q2 non-GAAP earnings per share would
have been up 18% to $0.37, with non-GAAP net income up 17%, non-GAAP total
revenues up 13%, non-GAAP total software revenues up 15%, and non-GAAP
software license updates and product support revenues up 21%.

"Our non-GAAP operating income grew 25% in constant currency to $2.6 billion
in Q2, resulting in operating margins of 46%," said Oracle Executive Vice
President and CFO, Jeff Epstein. "In addition, Oracle generated $7.6 billion
in free cash flow in the past twelve months, up 15% over the same period last
year."

"We signed our largest on-demand sales force automation contract this
quarter," said Oracle CEO, Larry Ellison. "This was just one of several recent
wins over salesforce.com. We also sold our first database machine, launching
an all new and important business for Oracle."

"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 (including the
global economic crisis) 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 services or new versions of existing or acquired products or
services. (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 or cause us to lose customers. 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

current as of December 18, 2008. Oracle undertakes no duty to update any
statement in light of new information or future events.

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

        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 strengthened relative to most major international currencies in
        the three months ended November 30, 2008 compared with the
        corresponding prior year period, reducing 6 percentage points of
        revenue, 5 percentage points of operating expense and 9 percentage
        points of operating income growth.

    (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 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.
    (3) As of November 30, 2008, approximately $71 million and $20 million in
        estimated revenues related to assumed support contracts will not be
        recognized during the remainder of fiscal 2009 and 2010, respectively,
        due to business combination accounting rules.

    (1) 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 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 strengthened relative to most major international currencies in
        the six months ended November 30, 2008 compared with the corresponding
        prior year period, reducing 2 percentage points of revenue, 1
        percentage point of operating expense and 2 percentage points of
        operating income growth.

    (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
                       Q2 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:

O 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.

O 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.

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

O 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 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.
