1) New cloud bookings – key measure for SAP's sales success in the cloud – 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-peruse 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) SAP Business Network commerce is the total commerce transacted on the SAP Ariba, SAP Concur and SAP Fieldglass Networks in the trailing 12 months. Ariba commerce includes procurement and sourcing spend
