Challenges facing Oracle Cost Management customers today Item Cost Overhead analysis Product line and customer profitability Strategic and tactical decision making
Item Cost Overhead analysis • Challenge • Overhead is a big proportion of total COGS • Overhead pools/rates in numerous spreadsheets & one-off efforts • Lack coordination with system-wide cost reduction/efficiency initiatives; Often poor or no justification of O/H assignment logic • Non-inventoriable overheads and controllable costs – the GAAP view vs. total overhead costs that you are responsible for controlling
Product line and customer profitability • Challenge • Revenue adjustments and numerous cost allocations needed beyond direct revenue and COGS • Like COGS, need a consistent approach to SGA allocations • Cost to serve can erode some to all Gross Margin • Some higher volume products and some larger customers may be subsidizing low volume products and unprofitable customers
Strategic and tactical decision making • Challenge • Do the profitability numbers we’re using tie back to the G/L view that Executive Management are basing their decisions on? • Are we capturing the variability of costs/expenses across Products and LOBs so that we can model new product costs? • Are we integrating our planning and costing, using the latest Annual Budget or Forecast numbers as the basis for overhead rate development (– driver-based planning)?

Profitability Management Lifecycle Cost Allocations Profitability Management Who are the most and least profitable customers? What products contribute the most to the bottom line? Does customer or product profit vary by region? What is the profit contribution margin of a product or a service? • Why are customers profitable or unprofitable? • Why is the cost to sell or service different across the customer base? • How do business processes impact customer profitability? • How is resource consumption affected by product maturity? Profitability Analytics What is the impact on Profitability when: - change in price - reassignment of resources - introducing a new product -change in product mix

Do we need to have EPM installed before HPCM? • Please refer to slide # 13 • The Oracle EPM Suite: • Budgeting/Planning/Forecasting • Profitability & Cost Management • Financial Close & Reporting • Strategy Management • shares a common foundation and setup infrastructure • You install the foundation and then the application modules
How does this product relate to Hyperion Planning? The Oracle EPM Suite includes both Planning and HPCM Both of these solutions are on the common foundation we see in Slide # 13 Yes, some HPCM customers are also using Planning Integrated usage we’ve seen includes flowing the G/L data into Planning for Actuals vs. Budget or Forecast analysis and flowing the data from within Planning into HPCM Via EPMA, dimensions and hierarchies can be shared by both solutions
We are not using an Activity-Based approach/model – can it be skipped? • Please refer to slide # 20 • Great question • We showed an example that included activities in one of the Stages • No, this is not required • With HPCM, you, the Functional Business User, define the model you need: • dimensions; hierarchies; attributes • stages; dimensions for each stage; the process/data flow • So, if you do not want/need to define or include activities, that is OK
From a solution perspective, is it imperative that the user know both HPCM, and EBS Cost Mgmt and G/L (the latter being two being the underlying data source). Thoughts? For the types of situations we discussed today, yes, it would be beneficial to have some of your Team know Cost Management solutions, and be familiar with G/L systems, in addition to being your HPCM cost/profit guys. No, you don’t need to be experts on all of these data sources --- but you’ll want to have a good high level understanding so that you can interact effectively with all the solution owners We expect most FP&A groups have these skills/talents As we commented on Slide # 17, projects are successful where the Finance/Business Teams partner up with the IT Team, and HPCM helps facilitate that versus a black-box spreadsheet or custom solution approach
How are HPCM and In Memory Cost Management integrated? Do we need both or HPCM can address all business needs? HPCM complements the new (and in development) offerings from Oracle Cost Management. With HPCM you can allocate your overheads and pass these calculated overheads to Oracle Cost Management (TBD). HPCM can do overall customer and profit line profitability. But to get item level or SKU profitability, you will need the new in-memory solutions from Oracle Cost Management.
