Decrease mainly resulted from changes in tax exempt income and a one-time change of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries. Supported by a strong contribution from Sapphire Ventures throughout the entire year and a reduced tax rate.

Another year of strong cash flow. Operating cash flow was €6.2 billion, slightly above outlook. Free cash flow came in at €5.0 billion, exceeding the outlook of above €4.5 billion.

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.
