      Business Outlook 2017

      The Company is providing the following 2017 outlook:

      • Based on the continued strong momentum in SAP's cloud business the Company expects full year 2017 non-IFRS cloud subscriptions and support revenue to be in a range of €3.8 billion − €4.0 billion at constant currencies (2016: €2.99 billion), in line with the previous 2017 ambition which was raised at the beginning of 2016. The upper end of this range represents a growth rate of 34% at constant currencies.
      • The Company expects full year 2017 non-IFRS cloud & software revenue to increase by 6% − 8% at constant currencies (2016: €18.43 billion).
      • The Company expects full year 2017 non-IFRS total revenue in a range of €23.2 billion to €23.6 billion at constant currencies (2016: €22.07 billion). This is above the previous 2017 ambition which was raised at the beginning of 2016.
      • The Company expects full-year 2017 non-IFRS operating profit to be in a range of €6.8 billion − €7.0 billion at constant currencies (2016: €6.63 billion). This is above the previous 2017 ambition which was raised at the beginning of 2016.

      While the Company's full-year 2017 business outlook is at constant currencies, actual currency reported figures are expected to be impacted by currency exchange rate fluctuations as we progress through the year. The 2017 business outlook at constant currencies replaces the formerly communicated 2017 ambition which was at actual currencies.

      Ambition 2020

      Looking beyond 2017, SAP is also raising its 2020 ambition to reflect the Company's consistent fast growth in the cloud, solid software momentum and operating profit expansion as well as the exchange rate development. Assuming an exchange rate environment comparable to 2016 SAP strives to reach the following in 2020:

      • €8.0 − €8.5 billion non-IFRS cloud subscriptions and support revenue (previously €7.5 − €8.0 billion)
      • €28 − €29 billion non-IFRS total revenue (previously €26 − €28 billion)
      • €8.5 − €9.0 billion non-IFRS operating profit (previously €8 − €9 billion)

      SAP continues to expect the share of more predictable revenue (defined as the total of cloud subscriptions & support revenue and software support revenue) to reach 70% − 75% in 2020.

      SAP will discuss the key drivers behind the long term growth aspirations at the Company's Capital Markets Day in New York on February 9th, 2017.

      1) Adjustments in the revenue line items are for software support revenue, cloud subscriptions and support revenue, and other similarly recurring revenues that entities acquired by SAP would have recognized had they remained stand-alone entities but that SAP is not permitted to recognize as revenue under IFRS as a result of business combination accounting rules. Adjustments in the operating expense line items are for acquisition-related charges, share-based payment expenses, as well as restructuring expenses.

      2) Constant currency revenue and operating income figures are calculated by translating revenue and operating income 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 these adjustments and their limitations as well as our constant currency figures, see our Web site www.sap.com/corporate-en/investors/newsandreports/reporting-framework.epx under "Non-IFRS Measures, Adjustments and Full-Year Estimates".

      3) The difference between our effective tax rate (IFRS) and effective tax rate (non-IFRS) in Q4 2016 mainly results from tax effects of acquisition-related charges and share-based payment expenses. The difference between our effective tax rate (IFRS) and effective tax rate (non-IFRS) in Q4 2015 mainly results from tax effects of acquisition-related charges, share-based payment expenses and restructuring.

      1) Adjustments in the revenue line items are for support revenue, cloud subscriptions and support revenue, and other similarly recurring revenues that entities acquired by SAP would have recognized had they remained stand-alone entities but that SAP is not permitted to recognize as revenue under IFRS as a result of business combination accounting rules.

      2) 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 these adjustments and their limitations as well as our constant currency figures, see our Web site

      Additional Information

      General Remarks About this Quarterly Statement

      Until 2015, SAP's quarterly earnings reporting consisted of an earnings press release with condensed financial information and an interim report. This quarterly statement replaces both of these documents and includes all relevant information of both of these documents. Starting in 2016, we issue a quarterly statement for each of the four fiscal quarters. Additionally, we issue a half year report and a full year integrated report as before.

      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 Explanation of Non-IFRS Measures online.

      1 New cloud bookings consist of order entry of a given period that is expected to be classified as cloud subscriptions 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.
