SAP’s strategy to be the experience company powered by the intelligent enterprise is resonating. More and more customers are turning to SAP and Qualtrics to close their experience gap. At the same time, we continue to see strong adoption of S/4HANA as the core of the intelligent enterprise across all deployment models.”

 


“For the fifth year in a row, we delivered on our full year outlook. I am particularly proud of our strong increase in non-IFRS profits and margins while continuing our remarkable top line momentum. This success would not have been possible without the dedication, innovative spirit and discipline of our people.”

SAP Quarterly Statement Q4 2019

Walldorf, Germany — January 28, 2020
SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) today announced its preliminary financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2019.

 

Business Performance

 

Financial Highlights(1)

 

Full Year 2019

 

SAP hit all of its 2019 revenue and profit targets.

 

For the full year new cloud bookings were €2.27 billion, up 25% (up 21% at constant currencies) and up 31% excluding Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS). Cloud subscriptions and support backlog increased 23%, exceeding €12 billion at year-end.  Cloud revenue was €6.93 billion (IFRS) or €6.77 billion (non-IFRS at constant currencies), achieving the full year outlook (€6.7 to €7.0 billion non-IFRS at constant currencies). Software licenses revenue decreased 2% (down 5% at constant currencies) year over year to €4.53 billion. New cloud and software license order entry exceeded €11.5 billion and grew by 10% year over year (7% at constant currencies). Cloud and software revenue was €23.01 billion (IFRS) or €22.49 billion (non-IFRS at constant currencies), achieving the full year outlook (€22.4 to €22.7 billion non-IFRS at constant currencies). Total revenue was up 12% year over year to €27.55 billion (IFRS), up 12% (non-IFRS) and  up 9% at (non-IFRS at constant currencies).

 

The share of more predictable revenue grew by 2 percentage points year-over-year to 67% for the full year 2019.

 

Cloud gross margin increased 4.9 percentage points year over year to 63.5% (IFRS) and increased by 5.2 percentage points year over year to 68.2% (non-IFRS).

 

As expected, IFRS operating profit, operating margin and earnings per share were impacted by higher acquisition-related charges due to the Qualtrics acquisition and the charges from SAP’s global restructuring program announced in early 2019. In addition, IFRS operating profit, operating margin and earnings per share were impacted by higher share-based compensation (due to the Qualtrics acquisition and the strong SAP share price increase over the year). For the full year, IFRS operating profit was down 21% to €4.50 billion and operating margin decreased 6.8 percentage points year over year to 16.3% (IFRS). Non-IFRS operating profit at constant currencies was €7.96 billion, achieving the full year outlook (€7.85 to €8.05 billion non-IFRS at constant currencies). Non-IFRS operating margin expanded by 0.8 percentage points year over year (non-IFRS) and 0.6 percentage points (non-IFRS at constant currencies).

 

Earnings per share decreased 18% to €2.80 (IFRS) and increased 18% to €5.11 (non-IFRS).

 

Operating cash flow for the full year was €3.50 billion, a decrease of 19% year over year. The decrease in operating cash flow was primarily due to higher payouts related to share-based compensation (€286 million), restructuring payouts (€784 million) and higher tax cash outflows (€651 million) compared to the full year 2018. In addition, operating cash flow experienced a year over year benefit of roughly €404 million from the application of IFRS 16. Free cash flow decreased 20% year over year to €2.28 billion. At year end, net debt was –€8.29 billion.

 

Fourth Quarter 2019

 

In the fourth quarter, new cloud bookings were €878 million, up 19% (up 17% at constant currencies) and up 20% excluding Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS). Validating SAP’s hybrid cloud strategy, one of SAP’s largest on premise customers decided to move most of its SAP on premise landscape to the cloud and augmented the use of SAP SaaS solutions. This contract contributed 10 percentage points to the total new cloud bookings growth of 19%. SAP expects more of its larger customers to follow this path. Cloud revenue grew 35% year over year to €1.90 billion (IFRS), up 35% (non-IFRS) and up 32% (non-IFRS at constant currencies). Software licenses revenue was down 4% year over year to €2.00 billion (IFRS), down 4% (non-IFRS) and down 6% (non-IFRS at constant currencies).  New cloud and software order entry exceeded €5 billion and grew by 6% year over year (5% at constant currencies) in the fourth quarter. Cloud and software revenue grew 8% year over year to €6.85 billion (IFRS), up 8% (non-IFRS) and 6% (non-IFRS at constant currencies). Total revenue was up 8% year over year to €8.04 billion (IFRS), up 8% (non-IFRS) and up 6% (non-IFRS at constant currencies).

 

Cloud gross margin increased 6.9 percentage points year over year to 65.2% (IFRS) and increased by 7.4 percentage points year over year to 69.5% (non-IFRS).

 

Operating profit decreased 11% year over year to €2.12 billion (IFRS), up 12% (non-IFRS) and up 9% (non-IFRS at constant currencies). Operating margin decreased 5.9 percentage points year over year to 26.4% (IFRS) and expanded by 1.1 percentage points (non-IFRS) and 1.0 percentage points (non-IFRS at constant currencies).

 

Earnings per share was down 3% to €1.37 (IFRS) and up 21% to €1.82 (non-IFRS).

Business Outlook 2020

 

Reflecting SAP’s strong business momentum, the Company provides the following 2020 outlook replacing the previous 2020 financial ambition:

 

·         Non-IFRS cloud revenue is expected to be in a range of €8.7 – €9.0 billion at constant currencies (2019: €7.01 billion), up 24% – 28% at constant currencies

·         Non-IFRS cloud and software revenue is expected to be in a range of €24.7 – €25.1 billion at constant currencies (2019: €23.09 billion), up 7% – 9% at constant currencies

·         Non-IFRS total revenue is expected to be in a range of €29.2 – €29.7 billion at constant currencies (2019: €27.63 billion), up 6% – 8% at constant currencies

·         Non-IFRS operating profit is expected to be in a range of €8.9 – €9.3 billion at constant currencies (2019: €8.21 billion), up 8% – 13% at constant currencies

·         The share of more predictable revenue (defined as the total of cloud revenue and software support revenue) is expected to reach approximately 70%

 

While SAP’s full-year 2020 business outlook is at constant currencies, actual currency reported figures are expected to be impacted by currency exchange rate fluctuations as the Company progresses through the year.

Definition of key growth metrics

 

New cloud bookings are the total of all orders received in a given period the revenue from which is expected to be classified as cloud revenue and that result from purchases by new customers and from incremental purchases by existing customers. Consequently, orders to renew existing contracts are not included in this metric. 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 (annualized contract value ACV).

 

Share of more predictable revenue is the total of non-IFRS cloud revenue and non-IFRS software support revenue as a percentage of total revenue

 

New cloud and software license order entry is the total of new cloud order entry and software license order entry. The new cloud order entry metric is identical to the new cloud bookings metric defined above except that it considers the total contract value (TCV) of the orders where the new cloud bookings metric considers the orders’ annualized contract value (ACV). Software license order entry is the total of all orders received in a given period the revenue from which is expected to be classified as software license revenue. The support services commonly sold with the software license are not included in the software license order entry metric.

 

Global commerce is the total commerce volume transacted on the SAP Ariba, SAP Concur and SAP Fieldglass Networks in the trailing 12 months. SAP Ariba commerce includes procurement and sourcing spend.

 

For explanations on other key growth metrics please refer the performance management section of SAP’s Integrated Report 2018, which can be found at www.sapintegratedreport.com.

Non-IFRS Numbers

 

(D)                              Basis of Non-IFRS Presentation

 

We disclose certain financial measures such as revenue (non-IFRS), expense (non-IFRS), and profit measures (non-IFRS) that are not prepared in accordance with IFRS and are therefore considered non-IFRS financial measures.

 

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.

(H)          Segment Reporting

 

(H.1)      Segment Policies and Segment Changes

 

SAP has three reportable segments: the Applications, Technology & Services segment, the Intelligent Spend Group segment, and the Qualtrics segment.

 

As of the fourth quarter 2019, our customer experience offerings, which were formerly part of the Customer and Experience Management segment, became part of the Applications, Technology & Services segment through splitting and partial integration in other company functions. As a result of this change, we renamed the former Customer and Experience Management segment to Qualtrics segment. The expenses reflected in the Qualtrics segment, however, do not comprise the full impact of the acquisition due to the fact that some functions of Qualtrics mostly affecting general and administration expense have already been integrated into SAP’s corporate functions.

 

For a more detailed description of SAP’s segment reporting, see the Notes to the 2019 Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements, Note (C.1).

(K)                             Accounting Policy Changes

 

(K.1)                    Adoption of IFRS 16

 

As of January 1, 2019, SAP changed its accounting policies to adopt IFRS 16 ‘Leases’. Under the IFRS 16 adoption method chosen by SAP, prior years are not restated to conform to the new policies. Consequently, the year over year changes in profit, assets and liabilities and cash flows in 2019 are impacted by the new policies.

 

The transition impact of the policy change as of January 1, 2019, was as follows:

 

·                  Property, plant and equipment are higher by €1.9 billion resulting from the recognition of right-of-use assets,

 

·                  Financial liabilities are higher by €2.1 billion due to the recognition of lease liabilities,

 

·                  Trade and other payables are lower by €0.1 billion due to the de-recognition of deferred rent.

 

In the fourth quarter (full year) of 2019, we have recognized in our consolidated income statement depreciation expense from right-of-use assets of €114 million (€396 million) and interest expense on lease liabilities of €16 million (€55 million).

 

IFRS 16 also affects SAP’s cash flow statement in the fourth quarter (full year) of 2019 as follows:

 

·                  Operating cash flow increased by €116 million (€404 million),

 

·                  Cash flow from financing activities decreased by €116 million (€404 million).

 

The Free Cash Flow measure is not affected by this change.

 

Please also refer to section “Impact of the New Accounting Standard IFRS 16 ‘Leases’” in our 2019 Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements for further explanations of the changes in accounting policies as a result of the adoption of IFRS 16.

 

For more information about the financial impacts of the adoption of IFRS 16, see the Notes to the 2019 Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements, Note (D.3).

 

(L)                              Impact of Hyperinflation

 

We apply hyperinflation accounting for our subsidiaries in Argentina and Venezuela by restating the financial statements of these subsidiaries for the current period to account for changes in the general purchasing power of the local currency based on relevant price indexes at the reporting date. The restated financial statements of our subsidiaries in Venezuela and Argentina are translated at closing rates. The effects on SAP’s consolidated income statements in the fourth quarter and the full year 2019 and on SAP’s balance sheet as at December 31, 2019 are not material.

 

For more information about hyperinflation accounting, see the Notes to the 2019 Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements, Note (C.4).

 

(M)                           Business Combinations and Divestments

 

(M.1)                 Business Combinations

 

We acquired several businesses during 2018 and 2019 which, since their acquisition date, have contributed to our consolidated income statement while they did not contribute in the respective comparison period. Callidus was acquired on April 5, 2018 and Qualtrics was acquired on January 23, 2019.

(N.4)                    S/4HANA Customers

 

In Q4 2019, SAP updated the definition of S/4HANA to more closely resemble categories commonly included in ERP. The main categories added include elements of Digital Supply Chain Management and Finance and Risk Management. This change affected the S/4HANA customer count as the customers of the added categories (as far as not also S/4HANA customer) have been included in the S/4HANA customer number. Prior period customer count numbers have been adjusted to conform with the updated definition. See the table below for a history of the S/4HANA adoption based on the updated definition.
