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

SAP reiterated its outlook for the full year 2013*

SAP reiterates the outlook for the full year 2013, which remains unchanged from the outlook provided on July 18, 2013:

  • The Company expects full year 2013 non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue to increase by at least 10% at constant currencies (2012: €13.25 billion).
  • The Company expects full year 2013 non-IFRS cloud subscription and support revenue of around €750 million at constant currencies (2012: €343 million)
  • The Company expects full year 2013 SAP HANA software revenue in a range of €650 €700 million (2012: €392 million).
  • The Company expects full-year 2013 non-IFRS operating profit to be in a range of €5.85 billion €5.95 billion at constant currencies (2012: €5.21 billion).
  • The Company projects a full-year 2013 IFRS effective tax rate of 24.0% 25.0% (2012: 26.2%) and a non-IFRS effective tax rate of 25.5% – 26.5% (2012: 27.5%).

If exchange rates remain at the September 2013 level for the rest of the year, the Company expects both the fourthquarter and full-year 2013 non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue growth rate to be negatively impacted by approximately 5 percentage points from currency and the fourth-quarter and full-year 2013 non-IFRS operating profit growth rate to be negatively impacted by approximately 7 percentage points from currency.

Business Outlook was provided on January 23th, 2013, at the time of SAP's fourth quarter 2012 results announcement. Announcing SAP's second 2013 results, SAP has refined the outlook for non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue at constant currencies. Today, announcing the third quarter 2013 results, SAP reiterated this outlook.

Explanation of non-IFRS measures

SAP has provided its non-IFRS estimates for the full-year 2013. 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.
