The company’s shares (ORCL) were up 5% at $48.74 in after-market trading on Wednesday.

Oracle said cloud-computing and on-premise software business revenue rose 5.3% to $8.88 billion in the fourth quarter ended May 31. The business accounted for 78% of total revenue in 2016.

The company has been shifting to a cloud-based service as customers increasingly shun the costlier licensing model, a pattern also adopted by rivals such as Microsoft, SAP, and Amazon.com.

In an effort to strengthen its cloud business, Oracle signed a deal with AT&T in April, under which the U.S. telecom company agreed to move some of its large-scale databases to Oracle’s cloud platform.

The company had said it expected more of its “big customers” to migrate their databases and database applications to Oracle Cloud in the coming year.
