Financial Highlights Regional Performance Gross Margin Development Tax Rate, EPS & Cash Flow Outlook and Ambition

Tax rate, EPS & Cash flow

The year-over-year effective tax rate increase mainly resulted from changes in tax exempt income and non-deductible expenses. For non-IFRS, the changes in non-deductible expenses do not apply due to respective adjustments of pre-tax figures.

The year-over-year decline of earnings per share reflects a contribution to financial income by Sapphire Ventures that, due to current market conditions, was lower than over the same period last year.

The decrease of free cash flow versus last year is mainly attributable to the development of profitability and impacts from working capital due to SAP's continuing move to the cloud.

1) 'Current Cloud Backlog' – or CCB for short gives you the contractually committed cloud revenue we expect to recognize over the upcoming twelve months. The CCB is thus a subset of our Remaining Performance Obligations: Cloud only and 12 months only. Its expansion between two key dates reflects our success in both, contracting new cloud business as well as renewing existing business. So compared to New Cloud Bookings, it is a better, more holistic indicator of our cloud progress.

2) Starting in Q1 2021, SAP is expanding its financial disclosure to provide transparency on the transition of its core ERP business to the cloud. Specifically SAP is disclosing current cloud backlog and cloud revenue contributed by SAP S/4HANA Cloud, which represents SAP's cloud offering for core ERP processes. It mainly includes cloud solutions for financial management, supply chain management, engineering and manufacturing, order management and asset management, as well as associated data management, analytics, development and integration capabilities.
