SAP's strategy – financial impact due to transformation of business model

A fast growing cloud business changes SAP's revenue mix

Shifting to more subscription based revenue and increasing share of more predictable revenue

Much larger cloud business in 2020 relative to core business – change in revenue mix weighs on blended operating margin for the group in short/medium term

Share of more predictable revenue is expected to increase to 70-75% by 2020

Share of more predictable revenue

SAP has a broad cloud offering with three different business models

Public Cloud

  • Classical subscription SaaS model for cloud applications
  • Most comparable cloud offering to pure cloud vendors
  • Mostly three year contracts
  • Massively scaling while continuing to improve efficiency
  • Primarily annual pre-billing which results in deferred revenue

Business Network

  • The world's largest network of its kind, with SAP Ariba, Concur, and SAP Fieldglass
  • Steady predictable revenue stream with a very high stickiness
  • Primarily 'Pay-as-you-go' model with contractual commitments
  • Stable revenue growth rates

Private Cloud

  • Start-up business supporting large customers' transition to SAP HANA and Cloud (significant up selling potential)
  • Mission critical processes
  • High set-up costs and significant ramp up weighs on margins short term – while scaling & leveraging partnerships in future
  • Pre-billing with short (monthly) billing terms, consequently lower deferred revenues

Resilient core business – steady improvement of profitability due to growing support, solid license revenue and efficiency gains

Software license revenue

  • Driven by innovations next generation Business Suite S/4HANA, Customer Engagement & Commerce (CEC) and strategic industries
  • Dependent on macroeconomic environment, in particular in emerging markets
  • SAP outlook implies moderate decline in software revenue due to secular shift to cloud and assumption of unchanged market conditions

Support revenue

  • High renewal rates of ~97%
  • Enterprise support is today our de facto standard with a very high acceptance rate of net new customers

Software & support revenue

Example: existing customer with continued software purchases

Assumptions: License purchases decline by 5% p.a.; Enterprise Support offering fee 22% p.a.

FY 2016 outlook

Our completeness of vision in the cloud and soaring adoption of SAP S/4HANA gives us tremendous confidence in our business in 2016 and beyond.
