Walldorf, Germany – July 18th, 2019
SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019.
Business Performance
Financial Highlights Second Quarter 20191
In the second quarter, new cloud bookings were up 17% to €494 million (15% at constant currencies). New cloud bookings excluding Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) were up 27% as SAP focuses on higher-margin IaaS opportunities, in line with its strategy of closely partnering with the hyperscale IaaS providers. Cloud revenue grew 40% year over year to €1.69 billion (IFRS), up 40% (non-IFRS) and 35% (non-IFRS at constant currencies). Software licenses revenue was down 5% year over year to €948 million (IFRS), down 5% (non-IFRS) and 6% (non-IFRS at constant currencies), affected by recent macro uncertainties, particularly in Asia. New cloud and software order entry was up 3% (1% at constant currencies) year over year in the second quarter. New cloud and software order entry excluding IaaS was up 9%. Cloud and software revenue grew 11% year over year to €5.49 billion (IFRS), up 11% (non-IFRS) and 8% (non-IFRS at constant currencies). Total revenue grew 11% year over year to €6.63 billion (IFRS), up 11% (non-IFRS) and 8% (non-IFRS at constant currencies).
The share of more predictable revenue grew by three percentage points year-over-year to 69% in the second quarter.
Operating profit in the second quarter benefitted from disciplined hiring as well as continued efficiency gains in SAP’s cloud business. As expected IFRS operating profit in the second quarter was impacted by higher acquisition-related charges. In addition, IFRS operating profit was impacted by higher share-based compensation (due to the Qualtrics acquisition and the strong SAP share price increase over the second quarter) as well as additional restructuring charges, mainly due to an increase in the expected participation rate in the voluntary redundancy and early retirement programs in Germany. Operating profit declined 21% year over year to €0.83 billion (IFRS), up 11% (non-IFRS) and up 8% (non-IFRS at constant currencies). Operating margin (IFRS) declined 4.9 percentage points year over year to 12.5%. Operating margin (non-IFRS and non-IFRS at constant currencies) remained stable at 27.3% despite acquisition headwind. Earnings per share was down 21% to €0.48 (IFRS) and up 11% to €1.09 (non-IFRS).
Operating cash flow for the first six months was €2.68 billion, down 10% year-over-year. The decrease in operating cash flow was primarily due to higher payouts related to share-based compensation (€234 million), restructuring payouts (€183 million) and higher tax cash outflows (€412 million) compared to the first six months of 2018. In addition, operating cash flow experienced a year over year benefit of roughly €185 million from the application of IFRS 16. Free cash flow2 decreased 10% year-over-year to €1.96 billion. At the end of the second quarter, net liquidity was -€8.55 billion.
Segment Performance Second Quarter 2019
SAP’s three reportable segments “Applications, Technology & Services”, “Intelligent Spend Group 3” and “Customer and Experience Management” showed the following performance:
Applications, Technology & Services (AT&S)
In the second quarter, segment revenue in AT&S was up 6% to €5.38 billion year-over-year (up 4% at constant currencies). Solutions which contributed to this growth are listed below.
SAP S/4HANA
SAP S/4HANA is at the core of the Intelligent Enterprise. It drives digital transformation and delivers instant business value. SAP offers customers a choice of deployment options including cloud, on-premise and hybrid so they can choose any scenario or combination that is right for them. Built on SAP’s industry-leading advanced in-memory computing platform, SAP S/4HANA is the market-leading intelligent ERP that provides unparalleled business agility, empowering companies across all industries to reinvent their business models for the digital economy and navigate dynamic marketplaces.
In Q2, SAP was ranked No. 1 by software revenue for 2018 in Gartner’s May “Market Share Analysis: ERP Software, Worldwide, 2018” report. SAP was also positioned as a Visionary in Gartner’s May Magic Quadrant for Cloud Core Financial Management Suites for Midsize, Large and Global Enterprises4.
1 Q2 2019 results were also impacted by changes in accounting policies, business combinations and other effects. For details, please refer to the disclosures on page 32 of this Quarterly Statement.
2 IFRS 16 also affects SAP’s cash flow statement: operating cash flow increased and cash flow from financing activities decreased by €185 million. The Company has modified its free cash flow metric by subtracting this impact. Therefore, free cash flow is not affected by this change. For details, please refer to the disclosures on page 32 of this Quarterly Statement.
3 As of the second quarter in 2019, we renamed the former Business Network segment to Intelligent Spend Group segment without any changes in the composition of this segment.

Adding 600 customers in the quarter, S/4HANA adoption grew to more than 11,500 customers, up 29% year over year. In the second quarter approximately 50% of the additional S/4HANA customers were net new.
S/4HANA continues to be selected by world-class global companies, including Wanhua Chemical Group and the Texas Department of Transportation. SAP and Intel are partnering to simplify and accelerate adoption of S/4HANA by creating a new Center of Excellence showcasing multiple proof of concepts for shared customers migrating to S/4HANA. A growing number of companies including Mercedes-Benz EQ Formula-E Team have chosen S/4HANA in the Cloud. Hitachi, Colgate-Palmolive, and Deloitte and Touche Southern Africa have gone live on S/4HANA Cloud.
Human Capital Management Solutions (HCM)
The unique combination of SAP SuccessFactors and Qualtrics Employee Experience Management is elevating HCM solutions to the next level and has driven significant HCM demand in the quarter. IDC recently described Employee Experience Management as the next frontier. Employees are the frontline face to the customer. Delivering great customer experiences requires focusing on employees and delivering great employee experiences. Organizations that deliver exceptional employee experiences achieve better business results and outperform the competition.
For example, the combination of SAP SuccessFactors and SAP Qualtrics solutions allows Merck KGaA (Germany) to continuously capture employee feedback and, based on this insight, act with precision and in real time to drive ongoing improvements for a better employee experience.
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central, which is the flagship of SAP’s HCM offering, added more than 180 customers in the quarter and has now more than 3,350 customers globally. Competitive wins included Keolis, Claas, Burger King Brazil, and CONA Services.

The SAP Cloud Platform facilitates new app development, extensions and seamless integration. It orchestrates “hybrid” customer landscapes across on premise and cloud.
SAP Data Management Solutions bring together multi-source data including unstructured to provide a 360-degree view of all company data and manage compliance and governance policies from one central location.
In Q2, SAP launched HANA Cloud Services as a gateway to this single source of truth, making the data available to people, algorithms and data-driven applications in the cloud. It provides low total cost of ownership (TCO), elasticity, serverless principles, high availability, resilience and autonomous capabilities.
The State of Illinois and Grupo Energia Bogota chose SAP’s Digital Platform solutions in the second quarter.

Definition of key growth metrics
New cloud bookings are the total of all orders received in a given period the revenue from which is expected to be classified as cloud revenue and that result from purchases by new customers and from incremental purchases by existing customers. Consequently, orders to renew existing contracts are not included in this metric. The order amount must be committed. Consequently, due to their pay-per-use nature, business network transaction fees which do not include a committed minimum consumption are not reflected in the bookings metric (e.g. SAP Ariba and SAP Fieldglass transaction-based fees). Amounts included in the measures are generally annualized (annualized contract value ACV).
Share of more predictable revenue is the total of non-IFRS cloud revenue and non-IFRS software support revenue as a percentage of total revenue
New cloud and software license order entry is the total of new cloud order entry and software license order entry. The new cloud order entry metric is identical to the new cloud bookings metric defined above except that it considers the total contract value (TCV) of the orders where the new cloud bookings metric considers the orders’ annualized contract value (ACV). Software license order entry is the total of all orders received in a given period the revenue from which is expected to be classified as software license revenue. The support services commonly sold with the software license are not included in the software license order entry metric.
Global commerce is the total commerce volume transacted on the SAP Ariba, SAP Concur and SAP Fieldglass Networks in the trailing 12 months. SAP Ariba commerce includes procurement and sourcing spend.
For explanations on other key growth metrics please refer the performance management section of SAP’s Integrated Report 2018, which can be found at www.sapintegratedreport.com.

Non-IFRS Numbers
(D) Basis of Non-IFRS Presentation
We disclose certain financial measures such as revenue (non-IFRS), expense (non-IFRS), and profit measures (non-IFRS) that are not prepared in accordance with IFRS and are therefore considered non-IFRS financial measures.
For a more detailed description of all of SAP’s non-IFRS measures and their limitations as well as our constant currency and free cash flow figures, see Explanation of Non-IFRS Measures online.

Other Disclosures
(K) Accounting Policy Changes
(K.1) Adoption of IFRS 16
As of January 1, 2019, SAP changed its accounting policies to adopt IFRS 16 ‘Leases’. Under the IFRS 16 adoption method chosen by SAP, prior years are not restated to conform to the new policies. Consequently, the year over year changes in profit, assets and liabilities and cash flows in 2019 are impacted by the new policies.
The transition impact of the policy change as of January 1, 2019, was as follows:
– Property, plant and equipment are higher by €1.9 billion resulting from the recognition of right-of-use assets,
– Financial liabilities are higher by €2.1 billion due to the recognition of lease liabilities,
– Trade and other payables are lower by €0.1 billion due to the de-recognition of deferred rent.
In the second quarter (first half) of 2019, we have recognized in our consolidated income statement depreciation expense from right-of-use assets of €90 million (€179 million) and interest expense on lease liabilities of €13 million (€26 million).
IFRS 16 also affects SAP’s cash flow statement in the first half of 2019 as follows:
– Operating cash flow increased by €185 million,
– Cash flow from financing activities decreased by €185 million.
The Free Cash Flow measure is not affected by this change.
Please also refer to section “Impact of the New Accounting Standard IFRS 16 ‘Leases’” in our 2019 Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements for further explanations of the changes in accounting policies as a result of the adoption of IFRS 16.
For more information about the financial impacts of the adoption of IFRS 16, see the Notes to the 2019 Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements, Note (D.3).
(L) Impact of Hyperinflation
We apply hyperinflation accounting for our subsidiaries in Argentina and Venezuela by restating the financial statements of these subsidiaries for the current period to account for changes in the general purchasing power of the local currency based on relevant price indexes at the reporting date. The restated financial statements of our subsidiaries in Venezuela and Argentina are translated at closing rates. Most significantly impacted by this accounting are (IFRS):
– Equity (retained earnings and other comprehensive income) (decrease of €23 million as at June 30, 2019),
– Contract liabilities (increase of €33 million as at June 30, 2019).
For more information about hyperinflation accounting, see the Notes to the 2019 Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements, Note (C.4).
(M) Business Combinations and Divestments
(M.1) Business Combinations

(M.2) Divestments
At the beginning of 2019, we sold one content as a service (CaaS) business to a third party. This sale generated
– a profit of €53 million in the first half 2019 (incremental income of €6 million in the second quarter), which is classified, in our half-year 2019 consolidated income statement, as other operating income,
– incremental employee related expenses of €7 million in the first quarter 2019, that are classified, in our half-year 2019 consolidated income statement, as cost of research and development.
(N) Miscellaneous Disclosures
(N.1) Changes in Estimates
At the beginning of 2019, we changed our estimate of the expected useful lives of certain computer hardware. The effect of this change is a reduction of actual and expected depreciation expense of
– €27 million in the second quarter 2019 (thereof €21 million in cost of cloud),
– €49 million in the first half 2019 (thereof €35 million in cost of cloud),
– €93 million in the full year 2019 (thereof €71 million in cost of cloud).
For more information regarding changes in estimates, see the Notes to the 2019 Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements, Note (D.2).
(N.2) Fair Value Measurement
In the second quarter of 2019, the fair value estimate for SAP’s investment in Looker Data Sciences Inc. (Looker) was adjusted to reflect the estimated exit value based on Google LLC’s (Google) announcement on June 6, 2019, that Google had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Looker. The closing of this transaction is subject to regulatory approvals. The adjustment resulted in gains recognized in finance income from financial assets at fair value through profit and loss of €45 million. The investment in Looker is held through our interest in Sapphire Ventures Fund II, L.P., a consolidated venture investment fund.
