"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 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 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
          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,
          2007, 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 May 31, 2008 compared with the
          corresponding prior year period, contributing 6 percentage points of
          revenue, 4 percentage points of operating expense and 10 percentage
          points of operating income growth.

     (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,
          2007, 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 year ended May 31, 2008 compared with the
          corresponding prior year period, contributing 6 percentage points of
          revenue, 4 percentage points of operating expense and 9 percentage
          points of operating income growth.
     (2)  Acquisition related and other expenses for the year ended May 31,
          2008 include a gain on property sale of $57 million. Acquisition
          related and other expenses for the year ended May 31, 2007 include a
          benefit of $52 million related to the settlement of a pre-
          acquisition lawsuit against PeopleSoft, Inc. Please see Appendix A
          for further discussion.

          29.5% and 28.6% in the year ended May 31, 2008 and 2007,
          respectively.

          average shares outstanding were calculated excluding the effects of
          expensing stock options under Statement 123®.  Separately, GAAP
          and Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the year ended May 31,
          2004 were $0.50 and $0.51 per share, respectively.

     (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.

    APPENDIX A

                              ORACLE CORPORATION
                        FISCAL 2008 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:

-- 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.

-- 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.

-- 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.

-- 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 primarily 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 or income, net. Substantially all of the stock-based compensation expenses included in acquisition related and other expenses primarily 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 effect of these items on our total operating expenses. Although acquisition related expenses and restructuring expenses are not recurring with respect to past acquisitions, we will incur these expenses in connection with any future acquisitions.

For the year ended May 31, 2008, acquisition related and other expenses include a gain on property sale of $57 million. For the year ended May 31, 2007, acquisition related and other expenses included a $52 million benefit related to the settlement of a lawsuit filed against PeopleSoft, Inc. on behalf of the U.S. government. This lawsuit was filed in October 2003, prior to our acquisition of PeopleSoft and represented a pre-acquisition contingency that we identified and assumed in connection with our acquisition of PeopleSoft. In October 2006, we agreed to pay the U.S. government $98 million to settle this lawsuit. Since the purchase price allocation period for PeopleSoft ended in the third quarter of fiscal 2006, the favorable difference of $52 million between the estimated exposure recorded for this lawsuit during the purchase price allocation period and the actual settlement amount has been included in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended May 31, 2007 as a component of acquisition related and other expenses.
