“If you have the right strategy and the best technology it will show up in your results,” said Oracle President and CFO Safra Catz. “The numbers speak for themselves. Annual revenue increased $3.6 billion to $18 billion, operating income increased $1.2 billion to $6 billion, and cash flow from operations increased $1 billion to $5.5 billion. It was a great year.”

“Over the last twelve months Oracle’s application new software license revenues grew at a rate of 32% while SAP’s growth slowed to 10% in their most recent fiscal year,” said Oracle President Charles Phillips. “Our strategy of combining innovation with acquisitions is clearly beating SAP’s strategy of trying to build everything themselves using a 1970s-era proprietary programming language.”

“Oracle’s unique database grid architecture has enabled us to take market share from IBM,” said Oracle CEO Larry Ellison. “Gartner’s just published database research report confirms that Oracle’s database market share has now increased to 47% while IBM’s share declined to 21%. IBM has been unable to match the performance and reliability of Oracle database grids.”
