WALLDORF, Germany, Oct. 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110126/AQ34470LOGO)

“We are very pleased with the exceptionally strong top-line growth this quarter. Continued efficiency gains combined with operational excellence led to a very strong operating margin performance,” said Werner Brandt, CFO of SAP. “Our momentum puts us on pace to achieve a record cash flow year.”

“SAP’s third quarter software revenue grew at its fastest rate in a decade because customers are shifting their investments to software that helps them grow and innovate. Our core solutions together with our industry-leading innovation in mobility, in-memory computing and cloud deliver exceptional value to our customers across all regions and industries,” said Bill McDermott, Co-CEO of SAP. “This is a growth company executing on a powerful vision.”

“Our strong performance and market share gains clearly show that our customer-focused innovation strategy is winning,” said Jim Hagemann Snabe, Co-CEO of SAP. “Delivering innovations in non-disruptive steps reduces the costs for our customers so they can invest in our breakthrough technologies to speed up decisions, strengthen customer relationships and drive growth. When our customers win, we win.”

(1) All figures are unaudited.

(2) Adjustments in the revenue line items are for the support revenue that would have been recognized had the acquired entities 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 compensation expenses, restructuring and discontinued activities.

(3) Constant currency revenue and operating profit 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.

  • The IFRS and non-IFRS effective tax rates in the first nine months 2011 were 28.7% (2010: 26.9%) and 26.7% (2010: 27.1%), respectively.

Nine months 2011 non-IFRS operating profit excludes a deferred support revenue write-down from acquisitions of EUR 26 million, acquisition-related charges of EUR 333 million, profit from discontinued activities of EUR 711 million, share-based compensation expenses of EUR 66 million and restructuring expenses of EUR 2 million (2010: EUR 36 million, EUR 209 million, expenses of EUR 46 million, EUR 49 million and -EUR 1 million). Nine months 2011 non-IFRS profit after tax and non-IFRS basic earnings per share exclude a deferred support revenue write-down from acquisitions of EUR 17 million, acquisition-related charges of EUR 224 million, profit from discontinued activities of EUR 442 million, share-based compensation expenses of EUR 48 million and restructuring expenses of EUR 2 million (2010: EUR 24 million, EUR 152 million, expenses of EUR 38 million, EUR 36 million and EUR 0 million) net of tax.

Cash Flow – Nine Months 2011

Operating cash flow was EUR 2.97 billion (2010: EUR 2.05 billion), an increase of 45%. Free cash flow was EUR 2.64 billion (2010: EUR 1.85 billion), an increase of 42%. Free cash flow was 27% of total revenue (2010: 22%). At September 30, 2011, SAP had a total group liquidity of EUR 4.93 billion (December 31, 2010: EUR 3.53 billion), which includes cash and cash equivalents and short term investments. Net liquidity at September 30, 2011 was EUR 1.00 billion compared to EUR 850 million at December 31, 2010. This is mainly due to the positive development of the operating cash flow in the first nine months of 2011.

Given SAP’s strong free cash flow generation over the first nine months of 2011, the Company plans to further evaluate buying back shares in the future. On September 30, 2011, the Company held approximately 38 million treasury shares (approximately 3.1% of total shares outstanding) at an average price of EUR 36.05. In the first nine months of 2011, the Company bought back 3.6 million shares at an average price of EUR 43.84 (total amount: EUR 158 million). These stock purchases were mainly in connection with SAP’s share-based compensation plans.

Business Outlook

SAP’s pipeline continues to remain very strong and companies continue to invest in IT, in particular in innovative software solutions. Due to the ongoing uncertain macroeconomic environment, the Company’s outlook for the full year 2011 remains unchanged from its previous guidance reported on July 26th, 2011 (except for the IFRS effective tax rate):

  • The Company expects full-year 2011 non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue to increase in a range of 10% – 14% at constant currencies (2010: EUR 9.87 billion), but expects to reach the high end of the range.
  • The Company expects full-year 2011 non-IFRS operating profit to be in a range of EUR 4.45 billion – EUR 4.65 billion at constant currencies (2010: EUR 4.01 billion), but expects to reach the high end of the range, resulting in 2011 non-IFRS operating margin increasing in a range of 0.5 – 1.0 percentage points at constant currencies (2010: 32.0%).
  • The Company projects a full-year 2011 IFRS effective tax rate of 28.5% – 29.5% (2010: 22.5%) and a non-IFRS effective tax rate of 27.5% – 28.5% (2010: 27.3%).

Additional Information

Third quarter and year- to-date 2011 revenue, profit and cash flow figures include the revenue, profits and cash flows from Sybase. For the prior-year periods those numbers were only included since the acquisition (July 26, 2010).

For a more detailed description of the non-IFRS adjustments and their limitations as well as our constant currency and free cash flow figures see Explanations of Non-IFRS Measures online (www.sap.com/investor).

SAP has completed a review of the appropriate re-measurement of the provision recorded for the TomorrowNow litigation following the motion granted by the judge on the original jury verdict. The judge’s decision vacated the original verdict of $1.3 billion, but gave Oracle the choice of accepting $272 million or seeking a new trial. The deadline for Oracle to make that choice will vary depending on the outcome and timing of a ruling on Oracle’s motion for an early appeal. If the early appeal is denied and Oracle rejects the reduced damages of $272 million, then there will be a new trial to determine damages.

The re-measurement of the provision additionally reflects currency exchange rate changes, changes in the estimate of related legal expenses and the fact that TomorrowNow reached an agreement in the copyright case with the United States Department of Justice in the third quarter for $20 million. As this amount was paid in the third quarter it is no longer included in the provision recorded for the litigation.

While the resulting re-measurement of the TomorrowNow litigation provision favorably impacts SAP’s IFRS operating profit and margin it does not have an effect on SAP’s non-IFRS operating profit and margin.

* Adjustments in the revenue line items are for support revenue 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 compensation expenses, restructuring expenses and discontinued activities.


** 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.


Differences may exist due to rounding.


REVENUE BY REGION

(Unaudited)


The following table presents our IFRS and non-IFRS revenue by region based on customer location. The table also presents a reconciliation from our non-IFRS revenue (including our non-IFRS revenue at constant currency) to the respective most comparable IFRS revenue. Note: Our non-IFRS revenues are not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles.
