LEASES, OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CERTAIN CONTINGENCIES

Leases

We have operating leases that primarily relate to certain of our facilities, data centers and vehicles. As of May 31, 2022, our operating leases substantially have remaining terms of one year to eleven years, some of which include options to extend and/or terminate the leases.

Operating lease expenses totaled $766 million, net of sublease income of $12 million in fiscal 2022 and $654 million, net of sublease income of $13 million in fiscal 2021. At May 31, 2022, ROU assets, current lease liabilities and non-current lease liabilities for our operating leases were $3.5 billion, $727 million and $2.9 billion, respectively. We recorded ROU assets of $1.9 billion in exchange for operating lease obligations during the year ended May 31, 2022. Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was $808 million and $696 million for the year ended May 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of May 31, 2022, the weighted average remaining lease term for operating leases was approximately seven years and the weighted average discount rate used for calculating operating lease obligations was 2.9%. As of May 31, 2022, we have $4.1 billion of additional operating lease commitments, primarily for data centers, that are expected to commence in fiscal 2023 for terms of one to fifteen years that were not reflected on our consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2022 or in the maturities table below.

Maturities of operating lease liabilities were as follows as of May 31, 2022 (in millions):

Unconditional Obligations

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into certain unconditional purchase obligations with our suppliers, which are agreements that are enforceable and legally binding and specify terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the payment. We utilize several external manufacturers to manufacture sub-assemblies, perform final assemblies and perform testing of our hardware products. We also obtain individual components for our hardware products from a variety of individual suppliers based on projected demand information. Such purchase commitments are based on our forecasted component and manufacturing requirements and typically provide for fulfillment within agreed upon lead-times and/or commercially standard lead-times for the particular part or product and have been included in the amounts disclosed below. Certain routine arrangements for other materials and goods that are not related to our external manufacturers and certain other suppliers and that are entered into in the ordinary course of business are not included in the amounts below, as they are generally entered into in order to secure pricing or other negotiated terms and are difficult to quantify in a meaningful way.

As of May 31, 2022, our unconditional purchase and certain other obligations were as follows (in millions):

As described in Note 7 above, as of May 31, 2022 we have senior notes and other borrowings that mature at various future dates and derivative financial instruments outstanding that we leverage to manage certain risks and exposures.

Guarantees

Our cloud, license and hardware sales agreements generally include certain provisions for indemnifying customers against liabilities if our products infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights. To date, we have not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications and have not accrued any material liabilities related to such obligations in our consolidated financial statements. Certain of our sales agreements also include provisions indemnifying customers against liabilities in the event we breach confidentiality or service level requirements. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification agreements due to our

limited and infrequent history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement.

Our Oracle Cloud Services agreements generally include a warranty that the cloud services will be performed in all material respects as defined in the agreement during the service period. Our license and hardware agreements also generally include a warranty that our products will substantially operate as described in the applicable program documentation for a period of one year after delivery. We also warrant that services we perform will be provided in a manner consistent with industry standards for a period of 90 days from performance of the services.

We occasionally are required, for various reasons, to enter into financial guarantees with third parties in the ordinary course of our business including, among others, guarantees related to taxes, import licenses and letters of credit on behalf of parties with whom we conduct business. Such agreements have not had a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
