SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS IN THE FIRST QUARTER 2014

SAP is successfully transitioning to the cloud demonstrated by fast growth in cloud and a solid performance in the core business, which drove revenue growth in the first quarter 2014. Non-IFRS cloud subscriptions and support revenue increased 38% at constant currencies (32% at actual currencies). Non-IFRS software and support revenue increased 7% at constant currencies (2% at actual currencies). Non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue grew 9% at constant currencies (4% at actual currencies).

"We are well on our way to becoming THE cloud company powered by SAP HANA with fast growth in the cloud and broad adoption of HANA as the real-time business platform," said Bill McDermott and Jim Hagemann Snabe, Co-CEOs of SAP. "We offer our entire Business Suite in the cloud and are leading the market with the most comprehensive end-to-end HR cloud solution. And our customers can manage all workers, goods and services through the world's largest business network in the SAP cloud."

"Our 9% constant currency growth in non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue puts us ahead of our annual outlook growth range," said Werner Brandt, CFO of SAP. "We slightly increased our operating margin while accelerating our cloud business. Operating profit was up 7% on a non-IFRS constant currency basis in the quarter driving strong operating cash flow, which increased by 9% to €2.35 billion. This result brought us back to positive net liquidity in a relatively short time frame after sizable acquisitions in the past two years."

SAP's annual cloud revenue run rate is now approaching €1.1 billion[1] or $1.5 billion[2]. Non-IFRS calculated cloud billings[3] increased 36% year-over-year at constant currencies. Non-IFRS deferred cloud subscriptions and support revenue was €454 million as of March 31, 2014, a year-over-year increase of 29% at constant currencies. SAP's cloud applications total subscribers now exceed 36 million, which is the most of any vendor in the industry today.

SAP's customer-facing solutions are defining the next generation of customer engagement. The hybris omni-channel e-commerce platform in combination with SAP Cloud for Sales is seeing triple-digit growth in software and cloud subscriptions and support revenue as companies redefine customer engagement and retention and unlock new cross-sell and upsell opportunities in real-time.

In Cloud for Procurement, SAP continues to scale the world's largest Web-based business trading community with trailing twelve month Ariba network spend volume[4] exceeding $0.5 trillion and around 1.5 million connected companies.

SAP HANA had a strong adoption rate in the first quarter, demonstrating that it is the leading real-time business platform. SAP now has more than 3,200 SAP HANA customers since market launch in June 2011 and close to 1,000 customers for SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA, which was launched just one year ago. SAP HANA is also evolving into the leading technology platform: there are more than 1,200 startups from 57 countries building applications on SAP HANA. Of these startups, more than 60 already have commercially available products on the market today.

SAP is also expanding its vibrant partner ecosystem. Accenture will use the Ariba Network to power their procurement business process outsourcing practice. SAP expects this will significantly drive connected companies and transaction volume. Together the companies have also formed the Accenture and SAP Business Solutions Group, which includes dedicated experts from both companies, to jointly develop integrated, industry-specific solutions powered by SAP HANA and delivered via the Cloud.

SAP has also entered into a new strategic partnership with Adobe which combines Adobe Marketing Cloud with the SAP Hybris Commerce Suite and the SAP HANA platform. Adobe and SAP will deliver real-time customer engagement with relevant, contextual experiences across numerous marketing channels and customer touch-points. This will redefine customer engagement and retention in the fast changing and highly competitive consumer world.

First Quarter 2014 Regional Revenue

SAP saw solid regional performance in EMEA, despite uncertainties in CIS due to the Crimea crisis. Non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue increased 8% year-over-year at constant currencies. This was the result of 39% growth in non-IFRS cloud subscription and support revenue at constant currencies and strong software revenue growth in markets such as Africa, Southern Europe and France.

The Americas region had a solid performance in the first quarter with 10% growth in non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue at constant currencies and 37% growth in non-IFRS cloud subscriptions and support revenue at constant currencies. In North America SAP saw a continued fast transition to the cloud and also strong software revenue performance from Canada. The Company continues to see strong demand in Latin America with tremendous growth opportunities across all markets. Highlights in Latin America included triple-digit software revenue growth at constant currencies in Colombia and Venezuela and high double-digit software revenue growth at constant currencies in Argentina.

In the APJ region SAP saw a mixed performance. Non-IFRS Cloud subscriptions and support revenue had a very strong quarter with a 43% growth rate at constant currencies. Non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue grew in the mid-single-digit range at constant currencies. While Japan was below expectations, China was a particular highlight. In China SAP achieved strong double-digit software revenue growth at constant currencies, which demonstrates the success of SAP's long term commitment and growth strategy for China.

IFRS cloud subscriptions and support revenue was €219 million (2013: €137 million), an increase of 60%. Non-IFRS cloud subscriptions and support revenue was €221 million (2013: €167 million), an increase of 32% (38% at constant currencies). IFRS software and support revenue was €2.84 billion (2013: €2.77 billion), an increase of 3%. Non-IFRS software and support revenue was €2.84 billion (2013: €2.77 billion), an increase of 2% (7% at constant currencies). IFRS software and software-related service revenue was €3.06 billion (2013: €2.90 billion), an increase of 5%. Non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue was €3.06 billion (2013: €2.94 billion), an increase of 4% (9% at constant currencies). IFRS total revenue was €3.70 billion (2013: €3.60 billion), an increase of 3%. Non-IFRS total revenue was €3.70 billion (2013: €3.64 billion), an increase of 2% (6% at constant currencies).

IFRS operating profit was €723 million (2013: €646 million), an increase of 12%. This is a higher increase than the 2% growth (7% at constant currencies) in Non-IFRS operating profit (€919 million in 2014, €901 million in 2013) mainly due to a lower impact from acquisitions (deferred revenue write downs and acquisition-related charges) compared to 2013. IFRS operating margin was 19.5% (2013: 17.9%), an increase of 1.6 percentage points. Non-IFRS operating margin was 24.8% (2013: 24.8%), or 24.9% at constant currencies, an increase 0.1 percentage points at constant currencies.

IFRS profit after tax was €534 million (2013: €520 million), an increase of 3%. Non-IFRS profit after tax was €667 million (2013: €689 million), a decrease of 3%. IFRS basic earnings per share was €0.45 (2013: €0.44), an increase of 3%. Non-IFRS basic earnings per share was €0.56 (2013: €0.58), a decrease of 3%. The IFRS and non-IFRS effective tax rates in the first quarter of 2014 were 24.1% (2013: 16.3%) and 25.9% (2013: 21.4%), respectively.

Cash Flow – First Quarter 2014

Operating cash flow was €2.35 billion (2013: €2.16 billion), an increase of 9% year-over-year. Free cash flow was €2.22 billion (2013: €2.05 billion), an increase of 8% year-over-year. Free cash flow was 60% of total revenue (2013: 57%). At March 31, 2014, SAP had a total group liquidity of €5.06 billion (December 31, 2013: €2.84 billion), which includes cash and cash equivalents and short term investments. Net liquidity at March 31, 2014 was €750 million compared to -€1.47 billion at December 31, 2013.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK 2014

The Company reiterates the outlook for the full-year 2014, which remains unchanged from the outlook provided on January 21, 2014:

  • The Company expects full year 2014 non-IFRS cloud subscriptions and support revenue to be in a range of €950 – €1,000 million at constant currencies (2013: €757 million). The upper end of this range represents a growth rate of 32% which is similar to the respective 2013 growth rate after adjusting for acquisitions.
  • The Company expects full year 2014 non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue to increase by 6% - 8% at constant currencies (2013: €14.03 billion).
  • The Company expects full-year 2014 non-IFRS operating profit to be in a range of €5.8 billion – €6.0 billion at constant currencies (2013: €5.51 billion).

While the Company's full-year 2014 business outlook is at constant currency, actual currency reported figures are expected to continue to be negatively impacted by currency exchange rate fluctuations. If exchange rates remain at the March 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 negative currency impact of approximately 6 percentage points and 8 percentage points respectively for the second quarter of 2014 and of approximately 4 percentage points and 5 percentage points respectively for the full year 2014.

The above mentioned indication for the expected currency exchange rate impact on actual currency reported figures replaces the earlier indication disclosed in SAP's Annual Report on Form 20-F filed on March 21st, 2014.

Additional Information

2014 revenue and profit figures include the revenue and profits from hybris. The comparative numbers for 2013 do not include hybris until 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 compensation expenses, restructuring expenses, and discontinued activities.


** 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.

* * 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 deferred revenue balances are calculated by translating the current period's opening and closing deferred revenue balances as well as the comparative period's closing deferred revenue balance using the opening exchange rates of the comparative period.
