Key performance metrics Q2 2016

Key performance metrics H1 2016

Regional performance1) Q2 2016

Americas

cloud subscriptions and support revenue

• North America delivered a solid Q2/16; back on track with its half year performance
• In Latin America, the political and macroeconomic instability continued. However, SAP had strong double-digit growth in software license revenue in Brazil and Mexico.

EMEA 7% (+11% cc) cloud and software revenue 38% (+41% cc)

cloud subscriptions and support revenue

• Q2/16 results were not impacted by the UK referendum
• Strong double-digit software licenses revenue growth in France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, across Southern Europe; again solid performance in Germany
• Russia and Germany: very strong double-digit growth in cloud

APJ 7% (+9% cc)

cloud and software revenue 44% (+47% cc)

cloud subscriptions and support revenue

• Strong double-digit software licenses revenue growth in China and India, whereas Japan had almost triple-digit growth.
• All three countries also had double-digit growth in cloud subscriptions and support revenue

Strong momentum in the cloud continued

• 1) New cloud bookings key measure for SAP's sales success in the cloud consist of order entry of a given period that is expected to be classified as cloud subscription and support revenue and results from purchases by new customers and from incremental purchases by existing customers. Consequently, orders to renew existing contracts are not included. 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.
• 2) Cloud subscriptions and support backlog represents expected future cloud subscriptions and support revenue that is contracted but not yet invoiced and thus not recorded in deferred revenue (as of Dec 31, 2015)
• 3) Network spend volume is the total value of purchase orders transacted on the Ariba Networks in the trailing 12 months.

Revenue mix shift weighs on ATS and cloud gross margins

• Continued fast growth in cloud while investing in personnel and moving our acquired cloud applications onto SAP HANA – cloud margin decreased to 65.2%
• Cloud margin business network cloud margin increased to 76.3% and ATS cloud margin was stable at 51.5%
• Revenue mix shift effect within ATS accelerated growth in private cloud business weighs on ATS margin since private cloud margin is still negative; expected to be break even by year end
• Revenue mix shift effect within cloud business higher share of ATS segment of total cloud business weighs on cloud margin, which is expected to be stable for FY
• Revenue mix shift effect within cloud and software cloud and software margin increased to 83.7%; Strong performance in core business overcompensated the mix shift effect usually seen from our cloud business on the cloud and software margin

* Cloud subscriptions revenue share of cloud and software revenue

Outlook for FY 2016

	Cloud subscriptions and support revenue (Non-IFRS at cc)	Cloud and software revenue (Non-IFRS at cc)	Operating profit (Non-IFRS at cc)
SAP's outlook FY 2016	€2.95bn to €3.05bn upper end +33% [2015: €2.30bn]	+6% to 8% [ 2015: €17.23bn]	€6.4bn to €6.7bn [ 2015: €6.35bn]
Actual performance H1/16	€1.4bn +33%	+8%	€2.6bn +8%

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%).

Non-IFRS adjustments	Actual Amounts H1/15	Actual Amounts H1/16	Est. Amounts for FY 2016
Revenue adjustments	€8m	€4m	<€20m
Share-based payment expenses	€314m	€177m	€560m to €610m
Acquisition-related charges	€371m	€336m	€680m to €730m
Restructuring charges	€418m	€22m	€30m to €50m
Sum of all adjustments	€1,112m	€538m	€1,290m to €1,410m

Explanation of non-IFRS measures

SAP has provided its non-IFRS estimates for the full-year 2016. 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 Non-IFRS Measures and Estimates online.

Constant currency revenue figures are calculated by translating revenue of the current period using the average exchange rates from the previous year's respective period instead of the current period. Constant currency period-over-period changes are calculated by comparing the current year's non-IFRS constant currency numbers with the non-IFRS number of the previous year's respective period.
