GAAP operating cash flow on a trailing twelve-month basis was $13.1 billion. “Non-GAAP operating margins increased to 45% in Q2,” said Oracle President and CFO, Safra Catz, “and we expect those margins to keep growing. Operating cash flow over the last twelve months grew to $13.1 billion; that’s up a remarkable 45% compared to the preceding twelve month period.” Oracle President Mark Hurd observed that, “We have expanded our worldwide sales capacity by adding over 1,700 sales professionals in the first half of this fiscal year.
