1) Current Cloud Backlog replaces our previous disclosure of 'New Cloud Bookings'. The '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) 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
