• y This reclassification only affects sub items of 'SSRS revenue'. Total of 'SSRS revenue' and consequently total revenue as well as profit numbers and operating margin figures are not affected by this change
• y In addition, SAP intends to modify the definition of its non-IFRS revenue and profit measures (details in press release 'Adjustment to Definition of non-IFRS Measures')

Explanations of non-IFRS measures

Adjustments in the revenue line items are for support revenue that entities acquired by SAP would have recognized had they remained stand-alone entities but that SAP is not permitted to recognize as revenue under IFRS as a result of business combination accounting rules. Adjustments in the operating expense line items are for acquisition-related charges, share-based compensation expenses, restructuring expenses and discontinued activities.

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 Explanations of non-IFRS Measures online (www.sap.com/investor).

Adjustment to definition of non-IFRS revenue and profit measures

In light of SAP's strong focus on the cloud market and considering the planned acquisition of SuccessFactors, SAP widens the range of revenues for which acquisition-related deferred revenue writedowns are adjusted in determining SAP's non-IFRS revenue and profit numbers. SAP continues to adjust for deferred revenue write-downs, i.e. for revenues that would have been recognized had the acquired entities remained stand-alone entities but that SAP is not permitted to recognize as revenue under IFRS as a result of business combination accounting rules. However, in the definitions of SAP's non-IFRS measures used through 2011, such adjustments for deferred revenue write downs were limited to support revenues. From 2012 onwards, SAP will additionally make such deferred revenue write-down adjustments for cloud subscription revenues and other similarly recurring revenues.

All other non-IFRS measures will remain unchanged. Since the deferred revenue write-down adjustments for recurring revenues other than support revenue from acquisitions that were executed through 2011 were immaterial, SAP does not restate prior period non-IFRS measures to align with the new definition.
