• IFRS software and software-related service revenue was €3.72 billion (2010: €3.27 billion), an increase of 14%. Non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue was €3.72 billion (2010: €3.31 billion), an increase of 12% (13% at constant currencies).

• IFRS total revenue was €4.50 billion (2010: €4.06 billion), an increase of 11%. Non-IFRS total revenue was €4.50 billion (2010: €4.10 billion), an increase of 10% (10% at constant currencies).

• IFRS operating margin was 37.0% (2010: 13.4%), an increase of 23.6 percentage points. Non-IFRS operating margin was 39.6% (2010: 39.6%), or 39.7% at constant currencies, an increase of 0.1 percentage points at constant currencies.

• Fourth quarter 2011 operating profit and operating margin were impacted by SAP’s continued investments in go-to-market activities intended to capture future growth opportunities, resulting in a sequential increase in headcount in sales and marketing by almost 500 full-time-equivalents (FTEs). Total headcount for the Group grew in the fourth quarter by almost 1,200 FTEs compared to the previous quarter.

Fourth quarter 2011 non-IFRS operating profit excludes a deferred support revenue write-down from acquisitions of €1 million, acquisition-related charges of €115 million, profit from discontinued activities of €6 million, share-based compensation expenses of €3 million and restructuring expenses of €2 million (2010: €38 million, €99 million, expenses of €935 million, €9 million and -€2 million).

Full-Year 2011

• IFRS software revenue was €3.97 billion (2010: €3.27 billion), an increase of 22% (25% at constant currencies).

Our latest non-IFRS operating profit guidance was the high end of the €4.45 – €4.65 billion range at constant currencies. Full-year IFRS profit and margin numbers were favorably impacted by the re-measurement of the TomorrowNow litigation provision while there was no such effect on SAP’s non-IFRS profit and margins.

• IFRS operating margin was 34.3% (2010: 20.8%), an increase of 13.5 percentage points.
