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

  • ~ 40 million end users process travel and expenses with Concur annually

1) New cloud bookings consist of order entry of a given period that is expected to be classified as cloud subscription and support revenue and results from purchases by new customers and from incremental purchases by existing customers. Consequently, orders to renew existing contracts are not included. The order amount must be committed. Consequently, due to their pay-per-use nature, business network transaction fees which do not include a committed minimum consumption are not reflected in the bookings metric (e.g. SAP Ariba and SAP Fieldglass transaction-based fees). Amounts included in the measures are generally annualized.

2) Cloud subscription and support backlog represents expected future cloud subscriptions&support revenue that is contracted but not yet invoiced and thus not recorded in deferred revenue.

3) Network spend volume is the total value of purchase orders transacted on the Ariba Networks in the trailing 12 months.

Explanation of non-IFRS measures

SAP has provided its non-IFRS estimates for the full-year 2016. For a more detailed description of all of 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.
