SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Oracle Corp (ORCL.O: Quote, Profile, Research) expects current-quarter revenue from new software to increase 10 percent to 20 percent from a year earlier, Chief Financial Officer Safra Catz said on Wednesday.

The business software maker also expects fiscal fourth-quarter earnings per share of 43 cents to 44 cents before some costs, Catz told analysts on a conference call following Oracle's third-quarter earnings report.

Net income should be 37 cents to 38 cents per share in the fourth quarter, Catz said.
