Our multi-billion-dollar Fusion and NetSuite cloud applications businesses saw dramatic increases in their already rapid revenue growth rates: Fusion ERP was up 30% in Q3 and up 46 percent in Q4, Fusion HCM was up 23 percent in Q3 and up 35 percent in Q4, NetSuite was up 24 percent in Q3 and up 26 percent in Q4. Oracle Fusion is the world’s biggest cloud ERP business; Oracle NetSuite is the world’s second biggest cloud ERP business.

“Revenue from our Gen2 Cloud Infrastructure business including Autonomous Database grew over 100 percent in Q4. The accelerating growth rates of both our applications and infrastructure cloud businesses this year drove earnings per share growth up to 21 percent in FY21. That is the fourth consecutive year of double-digit earnings per share growth at Oracle Corporation.”
