Oracle's (ORCL.US) 1Q24/25 results beat consensus expectations, with the company's sales driven by continued strong demand for AI-related cloud services. It is noteworthy that the company delivered strong results despite overall weakness in the technology sector.
Oracle generated revenue of $13.31 billion in 1Q24/25 (+6.9% y/y), maintaining its uninterrupted positive y/y revenue growth for more than 12 quarters. Seasonally, Q1 of the company's fiscal year performed the weakest, hence in q/q terms the company recorded a decline of 7%. However, it is worth noting that the revenues achieved for the last 3 months turned out to be the highest quarterly excluding 4Q22/23 and 4Q23/24. The strongest dynamics can be seen in the cloud revenue segment, where sales increased by 22% y/y (both in reported and constant currency terms). These results remain in line with expectations.
The company performed significantly better on cost discipline, pushing adjusted operating profit to $5.71 billion (vs. $5.59 billion forecast) and resulting in an adjusted operating margin of 43% (vs. 41% a year earlier and 42.2% forecast).
