Oracle shares fell nearly 5% after the enterprise technology giant reported its financial results for its third quarter 2023.
Here’s how the company did it:
- Earnings: $1.22 per share, adjusted, compared with $1.20 per share as expected by analysts, according to Refinitiv.
- Income: $12.40 billion versus $12.42 billion expected by analysts, according to Refinitiv.
Oracle’s total sales were up 18% year-over-year in the most recent quarter.
For the third quarter ended Feb. 28, net income fell to $1.90 billion, or 68 cents a share, from $2.32 billion, or 84 cents a share, a year earlier. On an adjusted basis, Oracle earned $1.22 per share, beating analysts’ estimates of $1.20 per share.
Its operating income was $3.3 billion in the quarter, down 18% from the $2.3 billion it recorded a year ago in the third quarter. The company said that if not for the impact of the strong dollar, its adjusted earnings would have been 5 cents per share higher.
Oracle’s total operating expenses increased 37% year over year to $9.2 billion.
“Oracle’s non-GAAP earnings per share growth reached the high end of our guidance – up 13% in constant currency to $1.22,” Oracle CEO Safra Catz said in a statement. “Our strong quarterly earnings growth was driven by 48% constant currency growth in total revenue for our two cloud businesses, infrastructure and applications.”
