BUSINESS OUTLOOK 2014

The Company updated its outlook for the full year 2014.

Based on the strong momentum in SAP's cloud business, the Company is raising its cloud outlook again and now expects full year 2014 non-IFRS cloud subscriptions and support revenue to be in a range of €1,040 – €1,070 million (previously €1,000 – €1,050 million) at constant currencies (2013: €757 million). The upper end of this range represents a growth rate of 41%. The Company continues to expect full year 2014 non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue to increase by 6% – 8% at constant currencies (2013: €14.03 billion).

With the customer-driven mix shift from upfront to cloud subscription revenue the Company now expects full-year 2014 non-IFRS operating profit to be in a range of €5.6 billion – €5.8 billion (previously €5.8 – €6.0 billion) at constant currencies (2013: €5.48 billion).

SAP anticipates the fast-growing cloud business along with growth in support revenue will drive a higher proportion of more predictable revenue in the future.

The 2014 business outlook does not include any contributions from the planned addition of Concur Technologies, Inc.

While the Company's full-year 2014 business outlook is at constant currency, actual currency reported figures are expected to continue to be impacted by currency exchange rate fluctuations. If exchange rates remain at the September 2014 level for the rest of the year, the Company expects non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue and non-IFRS operating profit growth rates at actual currency to experience a positive currency impact of approximately 3 percentage points and 3 percentage points respectively for the fourth quarter of 2014 and a negative currency effect of approximately 1 percentage points and neutral impact respectively for the full year 2014.

Additional Information
2014 revenue, profit and cash flow figures include the revenue and profits from hybris and Fieldglass. The comparative numbers for 2013 do not include Fieldglass and hybris was included first on August 1, 2013.

* 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. Adjustments in the operating expense line items are for acquisition-related charges, share-based payment expenses, restructuring expenses, as well as the TomorrowNow and Versata litigation expenses. ** 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 and Estimates". Due to rounding, numbers may not add up precisely.

CALCULATED CLOUD BILLINGS The following table presents the calculated cloud billings metric which we define as the total of a period's cloud subscription and support revenue and of the respective period's change in the deferred cloud subscription and support revenue balance. The table also reconciles the non-IFRS calculated cloud billings metric (including our non-IFRS at constant currency metric) to the respective IFRS based calculated cloud billings metric.
