Oracle generated negative free cash flow of approximately $5 billion in fiscal Q1 2027. Customer prepayments improved operating cash flow and partially offset the cash burden from infrastructure investment. Planned fiscal 2027 capital expenditures of $90 billion to $95 billion materially exceed the company’s reported quarterly cash generation. The resulting funding gap is being addressed through substantial financing and increased leverage.
