So that always makes it a bit more difficult as well.

But do you want me to tackle Adobe?

The Canadian Investor
SpaceX IPO Mania, M&A Heats Up, Dollarama Rises While Dynamite and Adobe Drop

I think Oracle.

The Canadian Investor
SpaceX IPO Mania, M&A Heats Up, Dollarama Rises While Dynamite and Adobe Drop

Sorry, I think we have time.

The Canadian Investor
SpaceX IPO Mania, M&A Heats Up, Dollarama Rises While Dynamite and Adobe Drop

Yeah.

The Canadian Investor
SpaceX IPO Mania, M&A Heats Up, Dollarama Rises While Dynamite and Adobe Drop

I'll be quicker here because I mostly want to focus on like the cash situation for them.

The Canadian Investor

So depending on which way you looked at it, it was a great quarter or an ugly one from Oracle.

The Canadian Investor

If you're focused on the RPOs and the backlog, you probably thought it was great.

The Canadian Investor

If you're someone who is focusing on kind of the total cost to satisfy that backlog, you probably thought it was fairly ugly.

So

The Canadian Investor

So revenue grew 21%, earnings were up 22%, but gross margins took a 5% hit.

The Canadian Investor

I'm fairly certain this is one of the, if not the largest backlogs in software history.

The Canadian Investor
SpaceX IPO Mania, M&A Heats Up, Dollarama Rises While Dynamite and Adobe Drop

So it increased 363%.

The Canadian Investor
SpaceX IPO Mania, M&A Heats Up, Dollarama Rises While Dynamite and Adobe Drop

I think it's at $638 billion now.

The Canadian Investor

And I think that there's a big difference between something like Alphabet's massive backlog and Oracle's though.

The Canadian Investor
SpaceX IPO Mania, M&A Heats Up, Dollarama Rises While Dynamite and Adobe Drop

And I do believe that Alphabet said that most of its backlog, not...

The Canadian Investor
SpaceX IPO Mania, M&A Heats Up, Dollarama Rises While Dynamite and Adobe Drop

The majority of its backlog will be realized in two years, so over 50%.

The Canadian Investor
SpaceX IPO Mania, M&A Heats Up, Dollarama Rises While Dynamite and Adobe Drop

I can't remember the exact numbers.

The Canadian Investor
SpaceX IPO Mania, M&A Heats Up, Dollarama Rises While Dynamite and Adobe Drop

So for Oracle, they said only around 13% of it over the next year and only around 34% of it over the next three years.

The Canadian Investor

So this is more long-dated data.
