SAP has great respect for the US legal system and Court decisions. However, SAP believes that the amount awarded by the jury in Oracle v. SAP/TomorrowNow is disproportionate and wrong. After the Court has entered final judgment SAP intends to file post-trial motions in the coming weeks asking the Court to reduce the amount of damages awarded, or to order a new trial. Depending on the outcome of the post-trial motion process, SAP may consider an appeal. Because the motions have not yet been filed and the outcome of the motions remains uncertain the amount by which the jury award would be reduced cannot be reliably measured at this time. Therefore, SAP has based the provision on the jury award. SAP will consider all new information and developments emerging over the coming weeks to determine the appropriate provision amount for SAP's final full year 2010 financials. Therefore, SAP cannot exclude the possibility that the final provision differs from the preliminary amounts presented in this earnings release.

The Company expects full-year 2011 Non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue to increase in a range of 10% – 14% at constant currencies (2010: €9.87 billion).
The Company expects full-year 2011 Non-IFRS operating profit to be in a range of €4.45 billion – €4.65 billion at constant currencies (2010: €4.00 billion), resulting in a 2011 Non-IFRS operating margin increasing in a range of 0.5 - 1.0 percentage points at constant currencies (2010: 31.9%).
For the full-year 2011, the Company projects an IFRS effective tax rate of 27.0% – 28.0% (2010: 22.3%) and a Non-IFRS effective tax rate of 27.5% - 28.5% (2010: 27.2%).
This document discloses certain financial measures, such as non-IFRS revenue, non-IFRS expenses, non-IFRS operating profit, non-IFRS operating margin, non-IFRS profit after tax, non-IFRS earnings per share, free cash flow as well as constant currency revenue and operating profit measures that are not prepared in accordance with IFRS and are therefore considered non-IFRS financial measures. Our non-IFRS financial measures may not correspond to non-IFRS financial measures that other companies report. The non-IFRS financial measures that we report should be considered in addition to, and not as substitutes for or superior to, revenue, operating profit, operating margin, cash flows, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Our non-IFRS financial measures included in this document are reconciled to the nearest IFRS measure in the tables in the corresponding earnings press release.
We believe that the supplemental historical and prospective non-IFRS financial information presented in this document provides useful supplemental information to investors because it is also used by our management – in addition to financial data prepared in accordance with IFRS – to attain a more transparent understanding of our past performance and our future results. At the beginning of 2010 the non-IFRS measures (as defined below) replaced the non-GAAP measures we used until the termination of our U.S. GAAP reporting. Specifically, we use these non-IFRS measures consistently in our planning and forecasting, reporting, compensation, and external communication as follows:
We believe that our non-IFRS measures are useful to investors for the following reasons:
Our non-IFRS financial measures reflect adjustments based on the items below, as well as adjustments for the related income tax effects:
Revenues in this document identified as non-IFRS revenue have been adjusted from the respective IFRS numbers by including the full amount of support revenue that would have been recorded by entities acquired by SAP had they remained stand-alone entities but which we are not permitted to record as revenue under IFRS due to fair value accounting for the support contracts in effect at the time of the respective acquisitions.
Under IFRS, we record at fair value the support contracts in effect at the time entities were acquired. Consequently, our IFRS support revenue, our IFRS software and software-related service revenue and our IFRS total revenue for periods subsequent to acquisitions do not reflect the full amount of support revenue that would have been recorded for these support contracts absent these acquisitions by SAP. Adjusting revenue numbers for this revenue impact provides additional insight into the comparability across periods of our ongoing performance.
Operating expense figures in this report that are identified as non-IFRS operating expense have been adjusted by excluding the following:
The operating profit and operating margin outlook provided for 2011 and the comparable 2010 operating profit and operating margin numbers are based on an updated non-IFRS definition which additionally excludes the following:
Operating profit, operating margin, profit after tax and earnings per share in this document identified as non-IFRS operating profit, non-IFRS operating margin, non-IFRS profit after tax and non-IFRS earnings per share have been adjusted from the respective IFRS measures by adjusting for the above mentioned non-IFRS revenues and non-IFRS operating expenses.
We exclude certain acquisition-related expenses for the purpose of calculating non-IFRS operating profit, non-IFRS operating margin, non-IFRS profit after tax and non-IFRS earnings per share when evaluating the continuing operational performance of the Company because these expenses generally cannot be changed or influenced by management after the relevant acquisition other than by disposing of the acquired assets. Since management at levels below the Executive Board has no influence on these expenses we generally do not consider these expenses for the purpose of evaluating the performance of management units.
Additionally, our non-IFRS measures have been adjusted from the respective IFRS measures for the results of the discontinued operations that qualify as such under IFRS in all respects except that they do not represent a major line of business. We refer to these activities as "discontinued activities." Under U.S. GAAP, which we provided until 2009, we presented the results of operations of the TomorrowNow entities as discontinued operations. Under IFRS, results of discontinued operations may only be presented as discontinued operations if a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations is discontinued. Our TomorrowNow operations were not a separate major line of business and thus did not qualify for separate presentation under IFRS. We believe that this additional non-IFRS adjustment to our IFRS numbers for the results of our discontinued TomorrrowNow activities is useful to investors for the following reasons:
The operating profit and operating margin outlook provided for 2011 and the comparable 2010 operating profit and operating margin numbers are based on an updated non-IFRS definition which additionally excludes the expenses relating to share-based compensation and restructuring expenses from our non-IFRS numbers. These expenses are allocated and managed on corporate level only and are not factored in our management's view when managing the continuing operational performance of the Company.
We include the revenue adjustments outlined above and exclude the expense adjustments when making decisions to allocate resources, both on a Company level and at lower levels of the organization. In addition, we use these non-IFRS measures to gain a better understanding of the Company's comparative operating performance from period to period. We believe that our non-IFRS financial measures described above have limitations, which include but are not limited to the following:
We believe, however, that the presentation of the non-IFRS measures in conjunction with the corresponding IFRS measures together with the relevant reconciliations, provides useful information to management and investors regarding present and future business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. We therefore do not evaluate our growth and performance without considering both non-IFRS measures and the relevant IFRS measures. We caution the readers of this document to follow a similar approach by considering our non-IFRS measures only in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, revenues or other measures of our financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
We believe it is important for investors to have information that provides insight into our sales. Revenue measures determined under IFRS provide information that is useful in this regard. However, both sales volume and currency effects impact period-over-period changes in sales revenue. We do not sell standardized units of products and services, so we cannot provide relevant information on sales volume by providing data on the changes in product and service units sold. To provide additional information that may be useful to investors in breaking down and evaluating changes in sales volume, we present information about our revenue and various values and components relating to operating profit that are adjusted for foreign currency effects. We calculate constant currency year-over-year changes in revenue and operating profit by translating foreign currencies using the average exchange rates from the previous year instead of the current year.
We believe that data on constant currency period-over-period changes have limitations, particularly as the currency effects that are eliminated constitute a significant element of our revenue and expenses and may severely impact our performance. We therefore limit our use of constant currency period-over-period changes to the analysis of changes in volume as one element of the full change in a financial measure. We do not evaluate our results and performance without considering both constant currency period-over-period changes in non-IFRS revenue and non-IFRS operating profit on the one hand and changes in revenue, expenses, profit, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS on the other. We caution the readers of this document to follow a similar approach by considering data on constant currency period-over-period changes only in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, changes in revenue, expenses, profit, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
We use our free cash flow measure to estimate the cash flow remaining after all expenditures required to maintain or expand the organic business have been paid off. This assists management with the supplemental information to assess our liquidity needs. We calculate free cash flow as net cash from operating activities minus additions to non-current assets, excluding additions from acquisitions. Free cash flow should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, cash flow or other measures of liquidity and financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
