evenue growth in the quarter ended Aug. 31 accelerated from 5% in the prior quarter, according to a statement.

Oracle received a $1.4 billion contribution from Cerner, after the $28 billion acquisition closed during the quarter.

Net income declined to $1.55 billion from $2.46 billion in the year-ago quarter. Oracle said it would have seen 8 cents more adjusted earnings per share if it were not for unfavorable foreign-exchange rates.

Oracle’s cloud services and license support category generated $8.42 billion in revenue, up 14% and above the StreetAccount consensus of $8.27 billion.

Oracle’s applications and infrastructure cloud businesses now represent over 30% of total revenue, CEO Safra Catz said in a statement. Revenue from cloud infrastructure totaled $900 million in the quarter, up 52%.

In addition to completing the Cerner deal, Oracle announced the availability of its database software through Microsoft’s Azure public cloud, but running on Oracle’s own cloud infrastructure.

Oracle executives will discuss the results with analysts and issue guidance on a conference call starting at 5 p.m. ET.
