Agenda

Income Statement Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Analysis Outlook and Additional Information

SAP adjusted outlook for the full year 2014

	SAP's Outlook FY 2014		Basis for Comparison 2013
Cloud subscription and support revenue (Non-IFRS at cc)	€1,040m – €1,070m Upper end of this range represents a growth rate of +41%	Previously: €1,000m – €1,050m	€757m
Software and Software-related Service Revenue (Non-IFRS at cc)	+ 6% – 8%		€14.03bn
Operating Profit (Non-IFRS at cc)	€5.6bn to €5.8bn	Previously: €5.8bn to €6bn	€5.48bn

While the Company's full-year 2014 business outlook is at constant currency, actual currency reported figures are expected to continue to be impacted by currency exchange rate fluctuations. If exchange rates remain at the September 2014 level for the rest of the year, the Company expects non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue and non-IFRS operating profit growth rates at actual currency to experience a positive currency impact of approximately 3 percentage points and 3 percentage points respectively for the fourth quarter of 2014 and a negative currency effect of approximately 1 percentage points and neutral impact respectively for the full year 2014.

The above mentioned indication for the expected currency exchange rate impact on actual currency reported figures replaces the earlier indication disclosed in SAP's Q2 2014 earnings announcement on July 17st, 2014.

Additional outlook information and non-IFRS adjustments

The company continues to expect a full-year 2014 effective tax rate (IFRS) between 26.0% to 27.0% (2013: 24.4%) and an effective tax rate (non-IFRS) between 27.5% to 28.5% (2013: 25.9%) but now expects to reach the lower end of these ranges.

Explanation of non-IFRS measures

SAP has provided its non-IFRS estimates for the full-year 2014. 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.
