- 1) For the second quarter 2015, Fieldglass contributed €21 million and Concur contributed €137 million to SAP's Non-IFRS cloud subscriptions and support revenue at constant currencies. The Fieldglass acquisition was closed on May 2nd 2014.
- 2) New cloud bookings consist of all 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. The order amount must be contractually committed (i.e. variable amounts from pay-per-use and similar arrangements are not included). Consequently, due to their uncommitted pay-per-use nature Ariba and Fieldglass network transaction fees are not reflected in the new cloud bookings metric. Amounts included in the measure are annualized. Concur contributed €46 million to SAP's new cloud bookings in the second quarter.

11If exchange rates stay at the June 2015 average level for the rest of the year, the Company would expect approximately a positive 5 to 8pp currency benefit on cloud and software growth and a positive 5 to 8pp currency benefit on operating profit growth for the third quarter of 2015 and a positive 6 to 9pp and a 7 to 10pp respectively for the full-year 2015.
The above mentioned indication for the expected currency exchange rate impact on actual currency reported figures replaces the earlier indication disclosed in SAP's Earnings announcement on April 21, 2015.
* The upper end of this range represents a growth rate of 86% at constant currencies. Concur and Fieldglass are expected to contribute approximately 50 percentage points to this growth.

SAP has provided its non-IFRS estimates for the full-year 2015. For a more detailed description of all of SAP's 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.
