While the Company's full-year 2014 business outlook is at constant currency, actual currency reported figures are expected to continue to be negatively impacted by currency exchange rate fluctuations. If exchange rates remain at the June 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 negative currency impact of approximately 2 percentage points and 2 percentage points respectively for the third quarter of 2014 and of approximately 2 percentage points and 2 percentage points 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 Q1 2014 earnings announcement on April 17st, 2014.

Additional outlook information and non-IFRS adjustments

Expected full-year 2014 IFRS effective tax rate of 26.0% – 27.0% (2013: 24.4%) and non-IFRS effective tax rate of 27.5% – 28.5% (2013: 25.9%).

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.

For a more detailed description of all of SAP's non-IFRS adjustments and their limitations as well as our constant currency and free cash flow figures see Non-IFRS Measures and Estimates online.
