SAP to Accelerate Cloud Strategy with Planned Acquisition of SuccessFactors – Current Status

  • y SAP to buy SuccessFactors (SFSF) for \$40.00 per share in cash*, representing an enterprise value of approximately \$3.4 bn
  • y On January 19, SAP announced that its indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary, Saturn Expansion Corporation, has extended the expiration of its cash tender offer for all outstanding shares of common stock of SFSF to 5:00 p.m., EST on January 25, 2012
  • y Tender offer will be extended for at least another 5 business days if the parties have not yet received approval of the CFIUS (Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States) under U.S. national security regulations, which is a condition to the offer, by the end of the day today
  • Parties filed a joint voluntary notice with CFIUS pursuant to the relevant law and its implementing regulations, which was accepted with an effective date of December 22, 2011
  • CFIUS review may take up to thirty calendar days, at which time CFIUS may either inform the parties that there are no national security concerns and terminate the review or initiate an investigation, which may last up to 45 calendar days. On January 20, 2012, the parties received written notification from CFIUS that it would initiate an investigation to complete its review. The additional 45-day investigation period expires on March 5, 2012, though it is possible CFIUS' investigation could be completed sooner. We are hopeful we can resolve the open questions CFIUS has quickly, well in advance of March 5, 2012, and we will work with CFIUS to resolve any open questions as soon as possible. Because the CFIUS filing is a voluntary filing, the parties may consider waiving the offer condition requiring CFIUS approval, but no decision has been made to do so at this time.

* Tender offer is being made pursuant to an Offer to Purchase dated December 16, 2011 and in connection with an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of December 3, 2011, which are publicly available at www.sec.gov. SAP and SuccessFactors first announced this transaction on December 3, 2011.

Agenda

y Income Statement y Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Analysis y Outlook y More Transparency on Cloud Revenues y Appendix

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.
