Cloud license and on-premise license revenues were up nine per cent to $886 million. Total revenues for the first quarter beat also guidance by more than $150 million.

The company’s cloud applications businesses continued rapid revenue growth for the period with Fusion ERP up 33 per cent and NetSuite ERP up 23 per cent.
