Chief Executive Mark Hurd told Oracle Corp. investors Thursday that an independent analysis showed his company is selling more enterprise cloud software than any other.

One problem: It’s not true, unless you have the same odd definition of “enterprise” as Hurd.

Hurd made the statement in Oracle’s ORCL, -2.73% announcement of quarterly earnings, which showed the first quarter of more than $1 billion in revenues from cloud software for the company. Oracle is trying to challenge rival Salesforce.com Inc. CRM, -4.75% after a late start in offering cloud software, also known as software as a service, or SaaS.

“Oracle has now passed Salesforce.com and become number one in SaaS cloud applications sales to customers with over 1,000 employees, according to the latest IDC report,” Hurd, who shares chief executive duties with Safra Catz, said in the news release. “In other words, this year we are selling more enterprise SaaS than any cloud services provider in the world.”

While Hurd seems to say that those two sentences mean the same thing, they categorically do not. The IDC report shows that Oracle is winning with large enterprise clients, but that it is not the same as selling the most enterprise cloud software overall.

IDC spokesman Mike Shirer confirmed that his firm’s analysis found Oracle tops in large enterprise sales, but said his company’s data did not back up Hurd’s second statement. Shirer said Oracle was the No. 4 vendor in IDC’s most recent study on the sector, with 5.2% of the market in 2015; Salesforce, SAP SA SAP, -3.25% and Intuit Inc. INTU, -3.89% all ranked higher in the report, which Shirer also pointed out was not for this year, as Hurd intimated.

“The second statement is incorrect in that it implies Oracle is selling more enterprise SaaS than any other provider,” Shirer wrote in an email, later adding, “The two statements do not actually align.”

Oracle disagreed. At first, a spokeswoman said Hurd’s second statement was not based on the IDC data, but was an independent assessment by Hurd. When pressed, the company instead said that “enterprise” was meant to be synonymous with “customers with over 1,000 employees.”

Enterprise is a term meant to denote sales to businesses instead of consumers, and is used quite commonly in the tech sector. The term does not typically have parameters based on business size, and the word is literally defined by Merriam-Webster as “a unit of economic organization or activity; especially: a business organization.”

Hurd seems to have developed his own definition, however, and he doubled down during Thursday’s conference call with a statement that was even less ambivalent about attributing the claim to the IDC data.

“IDC recently released their SaaS market share estimates and Oracle is now the No. 1 market share leader in enterprise SaaS,” Hurd said.

Maybe Hurd should listen more closely to his predecessor. Chairman and founder Larry Ellison referenced the exact same study just a couple minutes after Hurd, and admitted that Oracle was still trying to catch up to Salesforce in the overall enterprise market.

“IDC already recognizes Oracle as No. 1 in annual SaaS sales to large enterprises. Salesforce.com is No. 2. We will book more than $2 billion in annual cloud sales this year, much more than Salesforce.com. We are catching up to them, and we’re catching them very quickly,” Ellison said.

If Oracle does catch Salesforce, Hurd already has a statement ready. Until then, his claim that Oracle is No. 1 in enterprise SaaS sales is false.
