EPS (Q2)

Cash Flow (HY1) Operating Cash Flow €3.77bn | flat

Free Cash Flow €3.25bn | +4%

Positive effects from lower share-based and restructuring payments were compensated by higher income taxes paid

SAP S/4HANA customer count

Key cloud metrics: Second quarter 2021

1) 'Current Cloud Backlog' – or CCB for short gives you the contractually committed cloud revenue we expect to recognize over the upcoming twelve months. The CCB is thus a subset of our Remaining Performance Obligations: Cloud only and 12 months only. Its expansion between two key dates reflects our success in both, contracting new cloud business as well as renewing existing business. So compared to New Cloud Bookings, it is a better, more holistic indicator of our cloud progress.

2) Starting in Q1 2021, SAP is expanding its financial disclosure to provide transparency on the transition of its core ERP business to the cloud. Specifically SAP is disclosing current cloud backlog and cloud revenue contributed by SAP S/4HANA Cloud, which represents SAP's cloud offering for core ERP processes. It mainly includes cloud solutions for financial management, supply chain management, engineering and manufacturing, order management and asset management, as well as associated data management, analytics, development and integration capabilities.
