While the Company's full-year 2016 business outlook is at constant currencies, actual currency reported figures are expected to continue to be impacted by exchange rate fluctuations. If exchange rates remain at the end of June 2016 levels for the rest of the year, the Company expects its non-IFRS cloud and software revenue growth rate as well as its non-IFRS operating profit growth rate to experience a currency impact in a range of -1 to +1 percentage points for the third quarter 2016 (-2 to 0 percentage points for the full year 2016).

Additional outlook information and non-IFRS adjustments

The company now expects a full-year 2016 effective tax rate (IFRS) between 27.0% to 28.0% (2015: 23.4%) and an effective tax rate (non-IFRS) between 28.0% to 29.0% (2015: 26.1%).

Income Statement Outlook and Additional Information Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Analysis Brexit and Other Topics

Brexit I.

  • GBP Revenue < 5% of total revenue
  • 3 pronged approach to prepare for potential Brexit + aftermath of vote
  • Existing liquidity in UK
  • Hedging strategy
  • UK Bank risk

Brexit II.

Existing liquidity

– 86% of UK liquidity invested with SAP SE and has been hedged.

Hedging Strategy:

  • GBP balance sheet exposures at SE level to 23 June fully hedged
  • GBP cash flows hedged in accordance with our layered hedging approach for next 12 months
  • All EUR+USD balance sheet exposures in SAP UK hedged, even though they fell outside the guidelines where hedging would under normal circumstances not have been required, in order to further reduce exposure

Overall regular hedging program brought forward before the vote to avoid having to hedge in a potentially volatile market

Will continue to follow our foreign exchange management concept of hedging balance sheet and forecasted cash exposures

Brexit III.

UK Bank Risk and Counterparty Risk Management

  • Brexit is expected to lead to downgrade in rating of UK Banks
  • Four UK based Banks part of RCF out of a total of 27 banks
  • Withdrawal of RBS from overseas services ongoing Reduction in exposure to RBS will continue as the cash management business is transferred

Monitor potential impact of rating on counterparties Monitor potential spill over effect on other European banks
