Business

Oracle Corporation Japan is an enterprise IT company established in 1985 and listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in 2000, with US-based Oracle Corporation as its effective parent company. Based on distributorship agreements with Oracle International Corporation and Nihon Oracle Information Systems LLC, the company provides the Japanese market with software licenses for databases, middleware, ERP and other products, cloud services centered on OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure), hardware such as servers and storage, and implementation support and operations management services. Its major customers range widely from large corporations, government agencies, and local municipalities to small and medium-sized enterprises, with NEC Corporation being its largest customer, accounting for 12.2% of sales.

Business Model

The company operates under a sales agency model in which it pays a royalty, calculated as a fixed percentage of sales, to its parent company group. Cloud Services & License Support, which accounts for 66.2% of revenue, maintains a high contract renewal rate and forms a stable, recurring revenue base. This is complemented by Cloud License (18.5%), Services (9.4%), and Hardware (5.9%), with the proportion of subscription-based revenue expanding year by year in line with the shift to cloud. The company does not conduct its own research and development, instead focusing on sales and service provision that leverages its parent company's product capabilities, thereby achieving a high operating margin.

Company Strengths

From FY2021 to FY2025, revenue expanded continuously from ¥208,523 million to ¥263,510 million, and operating income grew from ¥70,904 million to ¥86,832 million. In FY2025 (ending May 2025), revenue, operating income, ordinary income, and net income all reached record highs. The operating margin remained at a high level of 33.0%.

In FY2025 (ending May 2025), cloud services revenue continued to grow strongly, reaching ¥61,962 million (up 28.4% year on year). License support remained a stable revenue source supported by a high contract renewal rate, at ¥112,438 million (up 2.7% year on year). Combined, Cloud Services & License Support reached ¥174,400 million (up 10.5% year on year), driving overall company growth.

OCI complies with the government information system security assessment program (ISMAP) and was selected for the Digital Agency's Government Cloud in October 2022. Medium- to long-term demand creation is expected as government agencies, local governments, and other public entities advance digitalization, serving as a differentiating factor from competitors.

ENVALITH's Perspective

Cloud revenue increased 34.3% and served as a growth driver, but cost of sales increased to ¥156,738 million (up 10.3% YoY) and SG&A expenses increased to ¥38,539 million (up 11.6% YoY), both outpacing the revenue growth rate (8.2%). The operating margin declined 1.5 points to 31.5% from 33.0% in the previous period. Costs incurred ahead of cloud business expansion are pressuring margins, and the timing of leverage effects materializing from scale expansion is a point of attention.

The earnings forecast for FY2027 (ending May 2027) is disclosed as a range, with revenue growth of 6.0-10.0% and earnings per share of ¥525-540. The wide gap between the lower and upper bounds suggests uncertainty regarding the pace of cloud demand expansion and the timing of recognition for large-scale deals. The projected effective tax rate is 31.6%. The next dividend has not yet been determined, and the reproducibility of the special dividend of ¥660 implemented in FY2026 (ending May 2026) (combined with the ordinary dividend of ¥198, totaling ¥858, with a payout ratio of 173.0%) is low, suggesting a normalization of shareholder return levels is expected.

Royalty expenses, which account for the majority of cost of sales, depend on the rate set by the parent company, and any changes in this rate directly affect profitability. In addition, Software License revenue turned to a slight decline, reaching ¥47,618 million (down 2.1% YoY), reflecting a structural contraction in license sales amid accelerating migration to the cloud. Hardware revenue also continued its downward trend, at ¥15,048 million (down 3.5% YoY). Whether the strong growth in cloud can offset these declines will be key to the medium-term revenue structure.

Growth Strategy

Under the new policy "AI Changes Everything," the company is accelerating core system transformation through OCI, AI, and sovereign cloud offerings

Promoting lift-and-shift of existing on-premise customers to Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications. Usage of the Tokyo and Osaka data centers is steadily increasing, and cloud revenue continued its high growth, reaching ¥83,184 million (up 34.3% year on year). This is expected to remain the key growth driver in FY2027 (ending May 2027) as well.

Leveraging OCI, which has already been adopted for the Digital Agency's Government Cloud, to support digitalization and operational efficiency through generative AI utilization at government agencies and local municipalities. Compliance with ISMAP has established a barrier to entry in the public sector, and the company is building a medium- to long-term demand base.

Deploying Japan's first sovereign cloud, provided by a Japanese company (partner), using Oracle Alloy. Addressing data sovereignty and operational sovereignty requirements in response to geopolitical and economic security risks, with expansion planned in FY2027 (ending May 2027).

Under the new policy "AI Changes Everything" for FY2027 (ending May 2027), the company provides AI solutions integrating Oracle AI Database, OCI, Oracle Fusion Applications, and NetSuite. It is strengthening the provision of GPU environments, generative AI services, AI agent services, and AI-oriented data platforms to support improvements in customer productivity and competitiveness.

Promoting stronger collaboration with cloud partners and capturing Cloud ERP demand among small and mid-sized enterprises using NetSuite. The company is steadily capturing demand from businesses undergoing organizational restructuring that adopt cloud services, and plans to continue strengthening this effort in FY2027 (ending May 2027).
