Explanations of non-IFRS measures

SAP has provided estimates for its 2012 non-IFRS adjustments and widened the range of revenues for which acquisition-related deferred revenue write-downs are adjusted in determining SAP"s non-IFRS revenue and profit numbers. On March 23, 2012, SAP published a Webmessage discussing this change. For more details see SAP`s Non-IFRS financial measures: 2012 estimates of the differences between IFRS and Non-IFRS (Webmessage) 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 Explanation of Non-IFRS Measures online.
