While Oracle is expanding its cloud offerings with new cloud data centers and achieving significant growth in the area, the traditional software business has witnessed a slight decline.

According to the firm, high investments will likely have an impact on the growth in free cash flow, and operating margin is also likely to fall slightly over the next few years due to the high level of investment.
