Oracle Reports Net Income Up 111%, Earnings Per Share $0.17 Application Sales Up 42%, Database Sales Up 32%
Oracle Stock to Split 2 for 1
REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Sept. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- [http://www.oracle.com/tellmemore/305460]" target="_blank" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">http://www.oracle.com/tellmemore/305460] Today, Oracle Corporation announced record results for the first quarter (Q1) of its fiscal year 2001. In addition, Oracle announced a two-for-one stock split of its outstanding common shares.

First quarter net income increased 111% to $501 million, or $0.17 per share, while revenue grew to $2.3 billion. This compares to $237 million in net income, or $0.08 per share and $2.0 billion in revenue, in Q1 last year. First quarter applications software sales increased 42% to $156 million, while database software sales grew 32% to $585 million. Total software license revenue was up 28% to $807 million, while total service revenue increased 8% to $1.5 billion for the quarter.

``We are off to our fastest start in six years,`` said Oracle CEO, Larry Ellison. ``The spectacular growth in our database business demonstrates that we are continuing to take market share from IBM and Microsoft. The world`s largest Web sites -- from Amazon.com to Yahoo! -- rely on the Oracle database to handle huge numbers of users and enormous quantities of information. The Oracle database is the software that powers the Internet.``

``Sales of our new applications software -- the Oracle e-Business suite -- will just get stronger and stronger throughout the year,`` Ellison continued. ``The e-Business suite puts every aspect of a business -- marketing, sales, supply chain, manufacturing, customer service, accounting, human resources -- everything, on the Internet. Our complete and integrated e-Business suite is proving to be a compelling alternative to buying applications from several different vendors, and trying to make them work together.``

``A little more than a year ago, Oracle set out to save one billion dollars annually by using our own Internet e-Business applications,`` said Oracle Chief Financial Officer, Jeff Henley. ``A billion dollars in annual savings translates to a 10 point improvement in our margins. We did better than that again this quarter. In Q1 our operating margin improved over last year`s Q1 by 11.7 points -- from 17.4% to 29.1%. And now that we are in the second year of our e-Business transformation, we are seeing the sales and marketing productivity gains that should accelerate revenue growth throughout fiscal 2001. It should be a great year.``

This marks the tenth time that Oracle`s common stock has been split since the company`s initial public offering in March 1986. The two-for-one stock split will entitle each stockholder of record at the close of business on September 25, 2000 (the record date) to receive one additional share for every share of Oracle common stock held on that date. Shares resulting from the split will be distributed by the transfer agent on October 12, 2000 (the effective date). Oracle`s stock will reflect the post-split price at the opening of the trading session on October 13, 2000. Oracle currently has approximately 2,802,029,000 shares of common stock outstanding.

Oracle Corporation is the world`s second largest software company. With annual sales of more than $10 billion, Oracle provides the software that powers the Internet. For more information about Oracle, please call Investor Relations at 650-506-4073 or visit Oracle on the web at www.oracle.com.

There can be no assurances that Oracle will continue to introduce new products and new versions of existing products that keep pace with technological developments, satisfy increasingly sophisticated customer requirements and achieve market acceptance. (3) Oracle has recently made changes to its pricing model which could lead to a decline or delay in sales as its sales force and customers adjust to the new pricing policies. Intense competition in the various markets in which Oracle competes may also put pressure on Oracle to reduce prices on certain products. (4) Delays in product delivery or closing of sales can cause quarterly revenues and income to fall significantly short of anticipated levels. (5) Oracle is introducing new products, such as internet procurement and supply chain management software, customer relationship management applications and application hosting services, as well as assisting its customers in forming exchanges for a number of business procurement needs; the market acceptance and contribution to Oracle`s revenues of these products and exchanges cannot be assured.

Danke Marlene, wenn Du mich fragst sieht es doch für morgen mit den Technologieaktien recht gut aus, aber was war der Grund für den starken Nasdaq- Verfall heute ???

Oracle mit mehr Gewinn als erwartet

Der Datenbankhersteller Oracle (Nasdaq: ORCL) hat im abgelaufenen 1. Geschäftsquartal einen Gewinn von 17 Cent pro Aktie erzielt. Das sind 4 Cent mehr als Analysten prognostiziert hatten und noch 3 Cent mehr als die Flüsterschätzungen, die während des Tages kursierten. In der entsprechenden Vorjahresperiode lag der Gewinn bei 8 Cent pro Aktie. Der Umsatz ist von 2,0 Mrd. Dollar um 15 Prozent auf aktuell 2,3 Mrd. Dollar angewachsen.

Der nachbörsliche Handel reagiert positiv auf die Zahlen. Oracle liegt nun bei 85 Dollar, das ist 1 Dollar mehr als zu Börsenschluss an der Nasdaq um 22.00 Uhr.

Erst heute Vormittag hat das Analystenhaus Morgan Stanley Dean Witter seine Empfehlung für Oracle von „Market Outperform“ auf „Strong Buy“ heraufgesetzt.

Schon gut ich habe bereits gesehen, daß die Nasdaq doch noch im Plus geschlossen hat hatte wohl falsche Daten vorliegen.

Sagt doch mal von welcher Seite habt Ihr so schnell die Meldungen zu Oracle und ich meine jetzt nicht die Mails von W.O.

[gigalooser]

die infos kriegst du eigentlich eh ueberall her

z.B:
www.cnnfn.cnn.com oder www.bigcharts.com

aber das beantwortet vermutlich nicht wirklich deine frage warum es abwärts geht.

Die Amerikanische Wirtschaft leidet sehr unter dem verfall des euros. ähnlich der wirtschaft in GB. das ist ein gewaltiges problem. bedenke das wenn du seit rund 1,5 Jahren in einem USA wert investiert bist ca. 30% deines gewinnes auf die abwertung entfallen. alles in allem sehr schlechte zeichen. ich hoffe uns bleibt ein gemetzel erspart befürchte aber das es anders kommt. passt auf alle fälle mal gut auf
