Introductory Notes

This interim group report meets the requirements of German Accounting Standard No. 16 “Zwischenberichterstattung” (DRS 16). We prepared the financial data in the Quarterly Financial Statements (Unaudited) section for SAP AG and its subsidiaries in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). In doing so, we observed the IFRS (including the interpretations by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC)) both as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and as endorsed by the European Union (EU). This does not apply to numbers expressly identified as non-IFRS. For additional IFRS and non-IFRS information, see the Supplementary Financial Information (Unaudited) section.

This quarterly financial report updates our consolidated financial statements 2012, presents significant events and transactions of the third quarter 2013 and the first nine months of 2013, and updates the forward-looking information contained in our Management Report 2012. Both the 2012 consolidated financial statements and the 2012 Management Report are part of our 2012 Integrated Report which is available at www.sapintegratedreport.de.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

Global Economic Trends

Figures published by the European Central Bank (ECB) indicate that the global economy’s development was restrained, amidst subdued market sentiment in the third quarter of 2013. Once again, there were significant regional differences: Economic growth decelerated in emerging markets but still grew faster than in industrialized economies.

According to the ECB, the economy of the euro area in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region improved 0.3% compared to the previous quarter, thus enjoying positive growth rates again. Outside the euro area, growth remained steady, with the exception of several Arab countries whose economies were impacted by ongoing political instability. In the Americas region, U.S. economic growth improved 0.6% compared to the previous quarter, while the Latin American economy continued its course of recovery at a slightly reduced pace. In the Asia Pacific Japan (APJ) region, Japan’s economy remained relatively stable, expanding 0.9% compared to the previous quarter according to the ECB. In contrast, Asia’s emerging markets slowed mainly as the result of lower growth rates in China (only 7.5% growth compared to almost double-digit growth rates in the previous year’s quarter).

The IT Market

American market research firm International Data Corporation (IDC) reveals that the global IT market grew by mid-single-digit percentages in the first nine months of 2013, primarily due to continued strong growth rates of smartphones and tablets. As such, it significantly outperformed the global economy as a whole. IDC did, however, scale back its growth forecast slightly for the remainder of the year in view of China’s restrained economic expansion, continuing weakness in Europe’s economy, and declining PC sales. Software revenue continued to grow at a slightly faster rate than the overall IT market average in the third quarter. According to IDC, this was because companies had invested more heavily in virtualization, software as a service (SaaS), data analysis tools, and system and network management.

Since the beginning of the year, the IT market in the EMEA region grew much more slowly than in the previous year, but still outperformed the region’s global economy. The software segment was the strongest performer here, posting an above-average increase in revenue in the mid-single-digit percentage range. In the Americas region,

corporate investments in IT proved to be stable in the first three quarters of 2013; at the same time, federal budget cuts kept government IT spending low. The IT market in the APJ region, meanwhile, was mainly impacted by the declining IT market growth in China, which similar to the region’s global economy, only grew in the single digits since the beginning of the year.

Impact on SAP

Companies are shifting their investments to the cloud and are radically simplifying their IT landscape on in-memory technology. While we are driving this fundamental industry transformation it has also impacted our business. In the third quarter, our software revenue grew only single digit at constant currency. This slowdown resulted from the combination of a mixed macroeconomic environment and the accelerating industry shift to the cloud, which is impacting traditional customer buying patterns. However, cloud subscriptions and support revenue increased triple-digit, so that our software and cloud subscriptions revenue in total increased double-digit. Our regional performance shows how SAP benefits by offering customers a seamless choice of software – on premise or in a public or private cloud. This also helps customers simplify their IT landscape, especially combined with our SAP HANA offering. In addition, they profit from our broad industry expertise and our broad ecosystem.

The Americas region delivered a strong third quarter with 17% growth in software and cloud subscription revenue at constant currencies. This was driven by excellent software revenue performance in Latin America despite challenging economic conditions particularly in Brazil. In North America we continue to benefit from the shift to cloud. Cloud contributed close to 30% of our total software and cloud subscription revenues this quarter. Our cloud business continues to show accelerated synergies between SAP, Ariba and SuccessFactors.

The EMEA region returned to strong growth with 14% in software and cloud subscription revenue at constant currencies despite a mixed market environment. The UK, the Netherlands, Switzerland all had strong double-digit growth in software revenue, while Southern Europe, which was hard hit by the financial crisis, returned to growth. We also saw solid performance in our home market Germany in utilities and retail industries.

The APJ region returned to growth with solid single-digit growth in software and cloud subscription revenue at constant currencies. China recovered strongly, where we saw the benefit of our innovation strategy (particularly SAP HANA), more large transactions, and an increase in strong strategic partnerships.

PORTFOLIO OF SOFTWARE AND SERVICES

In the third quarter of 2013, we made the following enhancements to our portfolio of software and services. For a detailed description of the portfolio of software and services we added in the first half of 2013, see the half-year report 2013. For a detailed description of our complete portfolio, see page 60 and the subsequent pages in our 2012 Integrated Report and item 4 in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 20-F.

Applications

By layering an improved user experience on top of the SAP HANA platform, SAP applications are becoming friendlier, faster, and more attuned to the needs of customers around the world.

At the start of the third quarter, SAP announced a cooperation agreement with Esri, a geographic information system (GIS) and location analytics provider, to integrate GIS solutions with SAP HANA, SAP BusinessObjects analytics, and the SAP Mobile platform.

SAP next unveiled the latest versions of SAP Data Services and SAP Information Steward. These real-time data management software solutions help address the need for better information governance while creating a simpler user experience.

In August, SAP introduced SAP Enterprise Foundation Extension. This offering enables companies new to SAP to implement an ERP system optimized to their specific needs, allowing for scalability at affordable cost.

SAP also offered a new set of enhancement packages for SAP Business Suite applications. These packages consolidate all of the innovations for SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA that have been delivered through 180 shipments over the last two years.

At the CRM Evolution event, held August 19 to 21 in New York City, SAP announced the release of the SAP Social Contact Intelligence analytic application. Powered by the SAP HANA platform, the new application allows marketing professionals to incorporate social sentiment insights into their campaigns to more easily identify and target prospects and influencers and help drive sales.

In September, SAP introduced the SAP HANA platform to manufacturing and research and development solutions. The portfolio includes the SAP Overall Equipment Effectiveness Management

application, the 6.0 version of the SAP Portfolio and Project Management application, and the SAP Energy and Environmental Resource Management solution.

In late September, SAP announced two new solutions that enable easier access to downstream demand and usage data. Combined with internal business data, they provide a real-time view of customer demand and sales:

SAP Demand Signal Management powered by the SAP HANA platform is a new Big Data-enabled application for manufacturers that captures large volumes of downstream demand signals, such as retailers’ point-of-sale data, along with market research data and consumer sentiment.

The SAP Enterprise Demand Sensing application helps improve the quality of demand forecasts within the short-term horizon to help reduce stock-outs and ultimately boost sales.

Industry Recognition:

During the quarter, ARC Advisory Group once again named SAP as a leader in the fields of transportation management systems (TMS) and warehouse management systems (WMS).

Gartner positioned SAP as a Leader in the “Magic Quadrant for Utilities Customer Information Systems (CIS),” the “Magic Quadrant for SAP Implementation Service Providers, Worldwide,” and the “Magic Quadrant for Single-Instance ERP for Product-Centric Midmarket Companies.”

Analytics

SAP enables business users to turn big data into valuable information through self-service visualizations and predictive analytics. These capabilities help decision-makers quickly identify untapped opportunities and respond to unforeseen risks. At the same time, SAP aims to simplify IT landscapes with our enterprise business intelligence suite.

At the 2013 SAP BusinessObjects User Conference held September 9 to 11 in Anaheim, SAP announced the general availability of the latest release of SAP BusinessObjects business intelligence (BI) solutions. The release brings both enhancements and important integration features to the core BI product, improving capabilities for SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse and SAP BusinessObjects customers. The most marked improvements are in mobile solutions, dashboards, collaboration, and support for big data sources.

SAP also announced a free edition of SAP Lumira, its self-service business intelligence (BI) software for data discovery. SAP Lumira helps users analyze Microsoft Excel data by building interactive visualizations in a drag and drop environment.

Industry Recognition:

Nucleus Research ranked SAP a leader in its Corporate Performance Management Technology Value Matrix, based on SAP’s recent innovations in mobile, cloud, and in-memory technology as well as integration with enterprise applications.

Cloud

To showcase our broad Cloud portfolio and feature how it is unlocking new value for customers, SAP launched its first-ever global Cloud ad campaign. SAP Cloud was also prevalent across all SAP events, including multiple industry forums, accompanied by an enhanced presence on www.sap.com/cloud.

During the third quarter, SAP took the next step toward its unified cloud portfolio vision. SAP now offers customers and partners a simple, flexible model for extending current on-premise solutions to cloud applications, including offerings from SAP companies Ariba and SuccessFactors.

Also during the third quarter, SAP announced that the SAP Cloud for Travel solution now offers additional convenience for business travelers by offering new open booking capabilities enabled by integration with Traxo, a Web-based travel management provider, and support for 20 countries.

Industry Recognition:

SuccessFactors, an SAP company, has been positioned as a leader for the fifth consecutive year in the IDC MarketScape Worldwide Integrated Talent Management report. As part of this analysis, SuccessFactors was also recognized as a leader in four separate IDC MarketScape Reports for recruiting, performance management, learning management, and compensation management for the second year in a row.

In the cloud-based collaborative commerce market, Ariba, an SAP company, was positioned as a Leader in the Gartner “Magic Quadrant for Strategic Sourcing,” with the highest placement for its ability to execute.

Also, for the eighth consecutive year, Ariba was named to the Supply & Demand Chain Executive Top 100 – this time for helping companies achieve excellence in the cloud through its applications and business network. Ariba was also named the Most

Innovative P2P technology provider by PayStream Advisors.

Gartner positioned SAP as a “Challenger” in the “Magic Quadrant for Sales Performance Management, 2013.”

Mobile

SAP continues to deliver new and better ways for customers to securely access data and business processes – from anywhere, at any time.

In July, SAP announced the latest release of the SAP BusinessObjects mobile app. Now available in the SAP Store for iOS and Android, the mobile app brings together multiple business intelligence (BI) and analytic applications from SAP into a single app, offering customers the flexibility and freedom to do business better while on the go.

In August, we announced an Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) peering agreement with Etisalat UAE, the largest telecom operator in the Middle East and Africa, to deliver LTE roaming traffic to all of its mobile operators. This strategic LTE roaming peering agreement will help Etisalat operator companies interconnect with SAP Mobile Services’ strong IPX customer community and launch LTE roaming quickly.

In September, SAP announced that mobile solutions from SAP will support iOS 7, Apple’s latest mobile operating system version. The new enterprise features will help SAP customers adopt corporate security requirements such as single sign-on, per-app VPN, and app configuration.

Industry Recognition:

During the third quarter, SAP was named the mobile market leader for the twelfth consecutive year by IDC. Based on continued mobile customer adoption, IDC reported that SAP holds the largest market share with a 14% share of the market.

In addition, SAP was positioned by Gartner in the Leaders Quadrant of the “Magic Quadrant for Mobile Application Development Platforms (MADP)” report. This comes on the heels of SAP’s recent leadership position in Gartner’s “Magic Quadrant for Mobile Device Management (MDM)” report. These leadership rankings are based on an evaluation of the SAP Mobile Platform and SAP Mobile Secure portfolio, including SAP Afaria, SAP Mobile Documents, and SAP Mobile App Protection by Mocana. SAP is the only vendor with leadership positions in both the Gartner MADP and MDM Magic Quadrants.

Database and Technology

The SAP HANA in-memory platform is one of the fastest growing technologies that SAP has ever developed. SAP HANA comprises not only a fast in-memory database but is also a platform with development and analysis tools and an intuitive user interface. SAP HANA is SAP’s cutting edge alternative database offering for the SAP Business Suite.

In early September, SAP announced a new solution that simplifies and speeds adoption of the SAP HANA platform for customers running SAP Business Suite software. The offering automates the process for migrating a relational database to the high-performance SAP HANA database through a series of preconfigured software, implementation services, standardized content, and user enablement.

Expanding on existing partnerships with Intel Corporation and Hortonworks Inc., SAP has signed agreements to redistribute and support Intel Distribution Apache Hadoop and Hortonworks Data Platform with SAP HANA. Customers benefit from an architecture fully supported by SAP and from a fully open source distribution.

At the SAP Americas Partner Leadership Summit held July 28 to 31 in Miami, SAP introduced the SAP PartnerEdge program for Application Development. This program is designed to empower partners to build, market, and sell software applications on top of technology platforms from SAP.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Our total research and development expense rose by 2% to 1,676 million in the first nine months of 2013, compared to 1,638 million in the corresponding period in 2012.

On our IFRS numbers, the portion of total revenue we spent on research and development in the first nine months of 2013 was 14.3%, which decreased by 0.3 percentage points compared to the 14.6% recorded for the first nine months of 2012. At the same time, we’ve brought more innovations to the market. On the non-IFRS numbers, the portion of total revenue we spent on R & D in the first nine months of 2013 was 13.6%, which remained virtually stable from the first nine months of the previous year.

We had 17,718 full-time equivalent (FTE) employees working in research and development teams on September 30, 2013, which increased slightly compared to the prior year (September 30, 2012: 17,495).

ACQUISITIONS

On August 1, 2013, SAP acquired hybris upon regulatory approval and completion of other closing conditions. This acquisition will enable SAP to deliver the next-generation e-commerce platform based on the latest technology, with the choice of on-premise or on-demand deployment. The combination of industry-leading enterprise solutions from SAP with the agile omni-channel commerce solutions of hybris will offer enhanced data access and faster analyses, enabling enterprises to optimize margins and customer loyalty.

In addition, SAP acquired Ticket-Web, KMS Software Company, Camilion Solutions, and SmartOps in March and April, 2013. KXEN was acquired in October 2013.

For more information about acquisitions, see Note (4) in the Notes to the Interim Financial Statements.

EMPLOYEES

Our vision to help the world run better and improve people’s lives relies on the power of human thinking, innovation, and creativity. For this reason, nothing is more critical to the long-term success of SAP and our customers than our employees. They deliver value to our customers and drive our sustainable growth and profitability.

An important factor for our long-term success is our ability to attract and retain talented employees. In the third quarter of 2013, the employee retention rate was 94% (unchanged from the third quarter of 2012). We define employee retention rate as the ratio between the average number of employees less voluntary employee departures (fluctuation) and the average number of employees (in full-time equivalents).

One of SAP’s overall non-financial goals is fostering a diverse workforce, specifically increasing the number of women in management. At the end of the third quarter of 2013, 19.6% of all management positions at SAP were held by women, compared to 19.3% at the end of September 2012. SAP has set a long-term target to increase the share of women in management to 25% by the year 2017.

At September 30, 2013, we had 66,061 full-time equivalent (FTE) employees worldwide (September 30, 2012: 61,344; December 31, 2012: 64,422) – an increase of 1,639 compared to year end 2012, of which 1,057 FTEs are due to acquisitions.

Our overall employee headcount on September 30, 2013, included 16,934 FTEs based in Germany (September 30, 2012: 16,596), and 13,503 FTEs based in the United States (September 30, 2012: 12,273).

ORGANIZATION AND CHANGES IN MANAGEMENT

In March 2013, the Executive Board and Supervisory Board of SAP AG agreed to prepare the conversion of SAP AG to a European Company (SE). The Executive Board and the Supervisory Board believe that the planned change of legal form reflects SAP’s position as a global company with European roots. The European Company legal form also reflects SAP’s European and international business activities. This legal form will allow the Company to optimize its corporate governance structure and the work of its Supervisory and Executive Boards.

As invited by management, SAP employees and their representatives in EU and European Economic Area (EEA) countries elected their delegates to a Special Negotiating Body (SNB). Negotiations between SAP management and the SNB regarding the European employees’ involvement in the SE began in September 2013 and are expected to last six months. SAP intends to seek the required approval of the shareholders to the conversion of legal form at the 2014 Annual General Meeting of

 

 

 

10   INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT


Table of Contents

Shareholders. If approved, the change of legal form would then take effect upon entry in the commercial register. With the conversion to an SE, shareholders of SAP AG automatically become shareholders of SAP SE. Shareholders’ rights remain unchanged.

On July 21, 2013, the SAP Supervisory Board agreed to propose that co-CEO Jim Hagemann Snabe be elected to the SAP Supervisory Board at the SAP Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in May 2014. This proposal is subject to support by at least 25% of the shareholders. Jim Hagemann Snabe will transition from his current role as co-CEO and member of the SAP Executive Board upon the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in May 2014.

Lars Dalgaard stepped down from the Executive Board and left the company on June 1, 2013, to join a private equity firm. He continues to play an active role as an advisor to the SAP Cloud business in the Cloud Governance Board. In this context, SAP’s co-CEOs became interim Executive Board sponsors for all aspects of SAP’s cloud business.

To further accelerate the success in SAP’s cloud business, the company consolidated its cloud go-to-market under the leadership of Bob Calderoni. Calderoni is president of Ariba, an SAP company, and member of the Global Managing Board of SAP AG, and continues to lead the Ariba business network activities. He now works closely with Rob Enslin, a fellow member of the Global Managing Board of SAP AG and president of Global Customer Operations responsible for SAP’s worldwide sales and customer operations. The close collaboration between the two SAP managers ensures a stronger market positioning of SAP’s cloud solutions.

In this context, the responsibilities, especially regarding innovation, have changed. SAP consolidated all innovation areas under Vishal Sikka, member of the Executive Board of SAP AG. As of June 1, 2013, all SAP On-Premise Delivery, networks (Ariba), and Cloud unit development leaders report directly to Vishal Sikka. Additionally, the Executive Board nominated Bernd Leukert, executive vice president for Application Innovation, to the Global Managing Board of SAP AG with effect from July 1, 2013. In this capacity, Leukert reports directly to Vishal Sikka.

Luisa Deplazes Delgado, member of the Executive Board of SAP AG, Human Resources, and Labor Relations Director, decided to leave SAP with effect from June 30, 2013, to take on responsibility as CEO of another company.

In addition to his role as chief financial officer of SAP AG, Werner Brandt took on Executive Board responsibility for Human Resources and became the Labor Relations Director in Germany. In this context, Luka Mucic became the new head of Finance to support Brandt in his expanded responsibilities. The Executive Board nominated Mucic to the Global Managing Board of SAP with effect from July 1, 2013. In October 2013, the Supervisory Board of SAP AG has appointed Luka Mucic as Chief Financial Officer of SAP AG, effective July 1, 2014. Luka Mucic is the successor of Werner Brandt, who will, as planned, withdraw from the Executive Board by that time.

Non-IFRS operating margin was 32.0%, an increase of 0.8 percentage points compared to the same period in prior year (Q3 2012: 31.2%). While total revenue increased 2%, operating expenses increased only 1%.

Non-IFRS operating margin for the third quarter of 2013 was affected by the acquisitions of Ariba and hybris, which impacted the operating margin by approximately 50 basis points, compared to the same period in 2012. Non-IFRS operating margin on a constant currency basis was 33%, an increase of 1.8 percentage points.

In the third quarter of 2013, non-IFRS profit after tax was 933 million (Q3 2012: 836 million), an increase of 12%. Non-IFRS basic earnings per share was 0.78 (Q3 2012: 0.70), an increase of 11%.

The non-IFRS effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2013 was 27.6% (Q3 2012: 26.7%). The year over year increase in the effective tax rate mainly resulted from tax effects relating to intercompany financing.

Actual Performance in the First Nine Months of 2013 (Non-IFRS)

In the first nine months of 2013, software and software-related service revenue (non-IFRS) increased 12% at constant currencies. At actual currencies, software and software-related service revenue (non-IFRS) was 9,647 million (first nine months 2012: 8,980 million), an increase of 7%.

Included in our non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue, our revenue from cloud subscriptions and support was 547 million (first nine months of 2012: 183 million), an increase of 198% compared to the same period in 2012. The amounts for 2013 include full cloud subscriptions and cloud support revenue from SuccessFactors, Ariba, and a small portion of revenue from hybris; comparator amounts contain SuccessFactors numbers on a pro rata basis with effect from February 21, 2012, only.

Non-IFRS total revenue in the same period was 11,784 million (first nine months of 2012: 11,243 million), an increase of 5%. On a constant currency basis, the increase was 9%.

Non-IFRS operating profit was 3,416 million (first nine months of 2012: 3,245 million), an increase of 5% (12% at constant currencies).

The operating margin (non-IFRS) was negatively affected by the acquisitions of SuccessFactors, Ariba, and hybris in the first nine months of 2013 compared to the same period in the prior year. The operating margin thus declined by a total of around

60 basis points. However, Non-IFRS operating margin was 29.0%, an increase of 0.1 percentage points in the first nine months of 2013 (first nine months of 2012: 28.9%). At constant currencies, non-IFRS operating margin was 29.8%, an increase of 0.9 percentage points.

In the first nine months of 2013, non-IFRS profit after tax was 2,498 million (first nine months of 2012: 2.249 million), an increase of 11%. Non-IFRS basic earnings per share was 2.09 (first nine months of 2012: 1.89), an increase of 11%.

The non-IFRS effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2013 was 25.6% (first nine months of 2012: 26.7%). The year over year decrease in the effective tax rate mainly resulted from taxes for prior years which were partly compensated by tax effects relating to intercompany financing.

Overall, during the first nine months our non-IFRS numbers at actual currencies experienced a significant negative currency impact compared to what they would have been if translated at the exchange rates from last year: SSRS revenue was impacted by 384 million and was thus 5% lower than the corresponding constant currency number; total revenue was impacted by 458 million and was thus 4% lower than the corresponding constant currency number. The operating profit was impacted by 229 million and was thus 7% lower than the respective constant currency number. The operating margin was negatively impacted by 80 basis points for the first nine months of 2013.

Table of Contents

If exchange rates remain at the September 2013 level for the rest of the year, our fourth-quarter and full-year 2013 non-IFRS SSRS and total revenue growth rates will be negatively impacted by approximately 5 percentage points. Our fourth quarter and full-year 2013 Non-IFRS operating profit will be negatively impacted by approximately 7 percentage points, and our non-IFRS operating margin at actual currencies will be approximately 100 basis points lower than the corresponding constant currency margin.

Segment Information

Since the third quarter of 2012, SAP reports under a new segment structure. For more information about the changes to our segment reporting and a description of the activities of our new segments, see the Notes to the Interim Financial Statements section, Note (17).

SAP has two divisions – On-Premise and Cloud, which are further divided into operating segments. Our On-Premise division is comprised of two operating segments: On-Premise Products and On-Premise Services. In the third quarter of 2012, our Cloud division was comprised of one operating segment: Cloud Applications. Following the acquisition of Ariba, we established a second operating segment in the Cloud division, mainly consisting of the acquired Ariba business (Ariba). The operations of Crossgate, which we acquired in 2011, are also included in the operating segment containing the acquired Ariba business. All operating segments are reportable segments.

On August 1, 2013, SAP acquired hybris AG. The acquisition will enable SAP to deliver the next-generation e-commerce platform based on the latest technology, with the choice of on-premise or on-demand deployment. Since the majority of hybris’ activities are currently delivered in an on-premise model, the majority of hybris’ activities are correspondingly reflected in the On-Premise division.

Key Figures in SAP Segment Reporting in the Third Quarter of 2013

In the third quarter of 2013, revenue in the On-Premise division decreased by 2% to 3,805 million (Q3 2012: 3,865 million). Of this, 3,154 million (Q3 2012: 3,129 million) was revenue from the Products segment, representing an increase of 1%. Revenue from the Services segment decreased by 12% to 651 million (Q3 2012: 736 million).

In the third quarter of 2013, segment revenue in the Cloud division achieved 252 million (Q3 2012:

105 million). Of this, 135 million (Q3 2012: 101 million) was revenue from the Cloud Applications segment, 117 million (Q3 2012: 4 million) was revenue from the Ariba segment.

The Ariba business is showing accelerated synergies with new and upsell application billings growing high double digits. The trailing twelve month Ariba network spend volume was approximately $500 billion. Today Ariba is the world’s largest Web-based business trading community with 1.2 million connected companies.

The annual cloud revenue run rate is already 1,008 million. The annual revenue run rate is the third quarter 2013 Cloud division revenue multiplied by 4.

Segment profit for the On-Premise division was 1,971 million (Q3 2012: 1,967 million). Of this, 1,855 million (Q3 2012: 1,786 million) was from the Products segment and 115 million (Q3 2012: 181 million) was from the Services segment. In the third quarter of 2013, the operating segment margin (ratio of segment profit divided by segment revenue) for the reportable segments was 59% (Q3 2012: 57%) for the Products segment, and 18% (Q3 2012: 25%) for the Services segment. Margin decline in the On-Premise Services segment is mainly caused by a weak development of the consulting business, especially in North America, which is suffering a low bookings level as a result of challenging market conditions. This resulted in an operating margin of 52% (Q3 2012: 51%) for the entire On-Premise division.

Segment profit for the Cloud division was 32 million (Q3 2012: –22 million) which improved significantly compared to the same period of the prior year. Of this, 1 million (Q3 2012: –17 million) was from the Cloud Applications segment and 31 million (Q3 2012: –6 million) was from the Ariba segment. In the third quarter of 2013, the operating segment margin for the reportable segments was 1% (Q3 2012: –16%) for the Cloud Applications segment, and 26% (Q3 2012: –150%) for the Ariba segment. This resulted in an operating margin of 13% (Q3 2012: –21%) for the entire Cloud division.

Key Figures in SAP Segment Reporting in the First Nine Months of 2013

In the first nine months of 2013, revenue in the On-Premise division increased by 1% to 11,075 million (first nine months of 2012: 10,999 million). Of this, 9,064 million (first nine months of 2012: 8,788 million) was revenue from the Products segment, representing an increase of 3%. Revenue from the Services segment decreased by 9% to 2,011 million (first nine months of 2012: 2,210 million).

 

 

INTERIM REPORT JANUARY – SEPTEMBER 2013    15


Table of Contents

In the first nine months of 2013, segment revenue in the Cloud division achieved 709 million (first nine months of 2012: 244 million). Of this, 368 million (first nine months of 2012: 231 million) was revenue from the Cloud Applications segment, while 341 million (first nine months of 2012: 13 million) was revenue from the Ariba segment.

Segment profit for the On-Premise division was 5,516 million (first nine months of 2012: 5,430 million, including 5,128 million (first nine months of 2012: 4,949 million) from the Products segment and 388 million (first nine months of 2012: 481 million) from the Services segment. In the first nine months of 2013, the operating segment margin for the reportable segments was 57% (first nine months of 2012: 56%) for the Products segment, and 19% (first nine months of 2012: 22%) for the Services segment. Margin decline in the On-Premise Services segment is

mainly caused by a weak development of the consulting business, especially in North America, which is suffering a low bookings level as a result of challenging market conditions. This resulted in an operating margin of 50% (first nine months of 2012: 49%) for the entire On-Premise division.

Segment profit for the Cloud division was 83 million (first nine months of 2012: –68 million), which improved significantly compared to the same period of the prior year. Of this, –9 million (first nine months of 2012: –55 million) was from the Cloud Applications segment and 92 million (first nine months of 2012: –13 million) was from the Ariba segment. In the first nine months of 2013, the operating segment margin for the reportable segments was –2% (first nine months of 2012: –24%) for the Cloud Applications segment, and 27% (first nine months of 2012: –100%) for the Ariba segment. This resulted in an operating margin of 12% (first nine months of 2012: –28%) for the entire Cloud division.

OPERATING RESULTS IN THE THIRD QUARTER (IFRS)

Orders

The total number of completed transactions for on-premise software in the third quarter of 2013 decreased 6% year on year to 12,774 (Q3 2012: 13,654). In addition, the average value of software orders received for on-premise software deals went down 7% compared to the year before. Of all our software orders received in the third quarter of 2013, 32% were attributable to deals worth more than 5 million (Q3 2012: 38%), while 40% were attributable to deals worth less than 1 million (Q3 2012: 38%).

Revenue

In the third quarter of 2013, software revenue was 975 million (Q3 2012: 1,026 million), a decrease of 5% compared to the same period in 2012. Software revenue in the third quarter of 2013 included 149 million (Q3 2012: 83 million) from SAP HANA.

Our revenue from cloud subscriptions and support was 191 million (Q3 2012: 63 million), an increase of 203% compared to the same period in 2012. The amounts for 2012 include cloud subscriptions and cloud support revenue from SuccessFactors. Ariba and hybris are not included in prior year numbers.

Total revenue was 4,045 million (Q3 2012: 3,952 million), an increase of 2% compared to the same period in 2012.

Operating Expenses

In the third quarter of 2013, our operating expenses decreased 1% to 3,003 million (Q3 2012: 3,031 million).

Our operating expenses remained relatively constant despite increased revenue. The increased expenditure for salaries as a result of the rise in headcount was offset by a decline in expenses relating to our share-based compensation plans.

Operating Profit and Margin

In the third quarter of 2013, operating profit increased 13% compared with the same period in the previous year to 1,043 million (Q3 2012: 921 million).

Our operating margin increased by 2.5 percentage points to 25.8% (Q3 2012: 23.3%).

Profit After Tax and Earnings per Share

In the third quarter of 2013, profit after tax was 762 million (Q3 2012: 618 million), an increase of 23%. Basic earnings per share was 0.64 (Q3 2012: 0.52), an increase of 23%.

The effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2013 was 26.4% (Q3 2012: 24.8%). The year over year increase in the effective tax rate mainly resulted from tax effects relating to intercompany financing.

Orders

The total number of completed transactions for on-premise software in the first nine months of 2013 decreased 8% year on year to 38,697 (first nine months of 2012: 41,861). The average value of software orders received for on-premise software showed a small decrease of 2% compared to the previous year. Of all our software orders received in the first nine months of 2013, 23% were attributable to deals worth more than 5 million (first nine months of 2012: 28%), while 46% were attributable to deals worth less than 1 million (first nine months of 2012: 45%).

Revenue

In the first nine months of 2013, software revenue was 2,614 million (first nine months of 2012: 2,722 million), a decrease of 4% compared to the same period in 2012. Software revenue in the first nine months of 2013 included 337 million (first nine months of 2012: 196 million) from SAP HANA.

Our revenue from cloud subscriptions and support was 488 million (first nine months of 2012: 144 million), an increase of 238% compared to the same period in 2012. The amounts for 2012 include cloud subscriptions and cloud support revenue from SuccessFactors since its acquisition date (February 21, 2012). Ariba and hybris are not included in prior year numbers.

Total revenue was 11,708 million (first nine months of 2012: 11,200 million), an increase of 5% compared to the same period in 2012.

Operating Expenses

In the first nine months of 2013, our operating expenses increased 3% to 9,031 million (first nine months of 2012: 8,727 million).

The increase in operating expenses is mainly due to the increased headcount.

Operating Profit and Margin

In the first nine months of 2013, operating profit increased 8% compared with the same period in the previous year to 2,677 million (first nine months of 2012: 2,473 million).

Our operating margin increased by 0.8 percentage points to 22.9% (first nine months of 2012: 22.1%).

Profit After Tax and Earnings per Share

In the first nine months of 2013, profit after tax was 2,006 million (first nine months of 2012: 1,723 million), an increase of 16%. Basic earnings per share was 1.68 (first nine months of 2012: 1.45), an increase of 16%.

The effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2013 was 23.4% (first nine months of 2012: 24.9%). The year over year decrease in the effective tax rate mainly resulted from taxes for prior years which were partly compensated by tax effects relating to intercompany financing.

FINANCES (IFRS)

Cash Flow and Liquidity

Operating cash flow for the first nine months of 2013 was 3,040 million (first nine months of 2012: 3,057 million). As such, the consistently strong operating cash flow remained stable compared to the same period in the previous year.

Group liquidity stood at 3,312 million on September 30, 2013 (December 31, 2012: 2,492 million). Group liquidity comprised cash and cash equivalents totaling 3,255 million (December 31, 2012: 2,477 million) and short-term investments totaling 57 million (December 31, 2012: 15 million).

Net liquidity 2      –2,036         –2,502         466   

Net liquidity 1 is total group liquidity minus current bank loans, private placement transactions, and bonds which decreased on a year-to-date basis by 166 million to 1,726 million. The increase in current bank loans relates to the acquisition of hybris: SAP took a short-term bank loan to support the financing.

Net liquidity 2, defined as net liquidity 1 minus non-current private placement transactions, and bonds, was –2,036 million (December 31, 2012:

2,502 million).

Thus, net liquidity improved compared to December 31, 2012: Dividends paid led to cash outflows which were overcompensated by a positive operating cash flow in the first nine months of 2013.

Analysis of Consolidated Statements of

Financial Position

The total assets of the Group were 27,534 million on September 30, 2013, an increase of 824 million since December 31, 2012, resulting mainly from an increase in cash and cash equivalents from the operating cash flow, compensated by dividends paid. In addition, the acquisition of hybris resulted in an increase in goodwill and intangible assets.

The equity ratio on September 30, 2013, was 54% (December 31, 2012: 53%), which increased slightly compared to year end 2012.

Investments

Investments in intangible assets and property, plant, and equipment decreased significantly in the first nine months of 2013 to 1,633 million (first nine months of 2012: 3,638 million). This decrease is due to our prior year acquisition of SuccessFactors.

Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments

There are no off-balance-sheet financial instruments, such as sale-and-lease-back transactions, asset-backed securities, or liabilities related to special-purpose entities, that are not disclosed in our interim Consolidated Financial Statements. Any factoring contracts are not material in volume.

Competitive Intangibles

The assets that are the basis for our current and future success do not appear on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. This is apparent from a comparison of the market capitalization of SAP AG, which was 67.2 billion, with the equity of the SAP Group on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, which was 14.9 billion on September 30, 2013 (December 31, 2012: 14.2 billion). This means that the market capitalization of our equity is more than four times higher than the book value.

Customer capital, our employees and their knowledge and skills, our ecosystem of partners, the SAP brand, and our past investments in research and development are some of the most important competitive intangibles that influence our market value.

According to the 2013 Interbrand annual survey of the Top 100 Best Global Brands, SAP is ranked the 25th most valued brand in the world. Interbrand determined a value of US$16.7 billion.

ENERGY AND EMISSIONS

As we create solutions for our customers to better manage resources, we must also look to ourselves and improve our own environmental performance. We also acknowledge greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as a proxy measure for inefficient operations and excess spending.

SAP’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for the third quarter 2013 totaled 140 kilotons compared to 130 kilotons in the third quarter of 2012. For the first three quarters 2013, SAP’s GHG emissions totaled 420 kilotons – an increase of 14% compared to the first three quarters of 2012. This rise is primarily due to the acquisitions of SuccessFactors and Ariba, an increase in the number of company cars, as well as an increase in energy consumption of our data centers and fewer renewable energy certificates. If our efforts to reduce emissions do not take hold, there is a risk that we might not meet our year-end emissions target of 460 kilotons. Comparator amounts contain SuccessFactors numbers on a pro rata basis with effect from February 21, 2012. Ariba and hybris numbers are not included – Ariba was acquired on October 1, 2012; hybris was acquired on August 1, 2013.

As we measure our emissions per employee and per euro of revenue, we gain insight into our efficiency as we grow. Since 2007, we have

increased our efficiency according to both measures, lowering our emissions per employee by about 28% and per euro of revenue by about 42% at the end of September 2013 (rolling four quarters).

We calculated that, since the beginning of 2008, SAP has achieved a 250 million cost avoidance compared to a business-as-usual scenario, thanks to energy saving and emission reduction initiatives that led to an overall reduction of emissions by 10% (rolling four quarters).

In the third quarter, SAP released an analytic solution based on SAP HANA designed to help manufacturers gain greater insight into energy costs and emissions – and then integrate this insight into their business processes to drive improved performance.

In recognition of the exemplary actions SAP has taken to embed sustainability across its business worldwide, SAP has been ranked the most sustainable software and services company in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for the seventh consecutive year. We were also included in the Carbon Disclosure Project’s (CDP) Global 500 Climate Disclosure and Performance Leadership Indexes.

SAP stock declined by 9.9% in the first nine months, while the two major benchmark indices improved: The DAX 30 increased by 12.9% and the EURO STOXX 50 by 9.8%. In the third quarter of 2013, the SAP share price fell 2.8%, whereas the

generally positive market led to an increase in the DAX 30 and EURO STOXX 50, gaining 8.0% and 11.2% respectively.

SAP stock started the quarter with the Xetra closing price of 56.26 on June 30, and developed more or less on a par with the market as a whole in July before falling back to 55.12 on July 23. On July 18, SAP published its second quarter results and communicated the Company’s adjusted revenue outlook for the full year 2013. In July, the SAP Supervisory Board resolved to propose that SAP’s departing co-CEO Jim Hagemann Snabe be elected to the SAP Supervisory Board at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in May 2014. In August, the SAP stock traded between 55.82 and 57.80, in a market dampened by concern over the crisis in Syria and uncertainty whether the U.S. Federal Reserve would continue its ultra-loose monetary policy.

The after-effects of SAP’s adjusted revenue outlook, coupled with a general reluctance to invest in the software sector, put additional pressure on SAP stock in September, pushing it down to its year low of 53.42 on September 5. The U.S. Federal Reserve’s surprise announcement that it would continue its liberal fiscal policy, helped the SAP share price recover to 55.60 on September 19, amidst a positive market environment that saw the DAX 30 reach an all-time high of 8,694.18 points. Yet the domestic budget dispute in the United States and the political situation in Italy weighed on global share prices at the end of September again, causing SAP stock to close the quarter at 54.67.

Capital Stock

SAP’s capital stock on September 30, 2013, was 1,228,504,232 (December 31, 2012: 1,228,504,232). It is issued as 1,228,504,232 no-par shares, each with an attributable value of 1 in relation to the capital stock.

Free Float

On September 30, 2013, the proportion of our stock in free float, applying the definition accepted on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange – which excludes treasury stock from the free float – stood at 74.5% (December 31, 2012: 74.4%).

Market Capitalization

With the Xetra closing price at 54.67 on the last trading day in the third quarter, SAP’s market capitalization was 67.2 billion based on 1,228,504,232 million outstanding shares. SAP was therefore the third largest DAX company based on market capitalization.

Deutsche Börse uses the free-float factor to weight companies in the DAX. The free-float factor for SAP was 74.5% on the last trading day in the third quarter, resulting in a free-float market capitalization of approximately 50.0 billion. When measured by its free-float market capitalization, SAP was the sixth-largest company listed on the DAX at the end of the quarter.

RISK AND OPPORTUNITY MANAGEMENT

We have comprehensive risk-management structures in place, which are intended to enable us to recognize and analyze risks early and to take the appropriate action. For changes in our legal liability risks since our last annual report, see Note 14 in the Notes to the Interim Financial Statements. The other risk factors remain largely unchanged since 2012, and are discussed more fully in our 2012 Integrated Report and our Annual Report on Form 20-F for 2012. We do not believe the risks we have identified jeopardize our ability to continue as a going concern. Opportunities also remain largely unchanged since 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT

In October 2013, the Supervisory Board of SAP AG has appointed Luka Mucic as Chief Financial Officer of SAP AG, effective July 1, 2014. Luka Mucic is the successor of Werner Brandt, who will, as planned, withdraw from the Executive Board by that time. For more information, see the Organization and Changes in Management section.

Future Trends in the Global Economy

In its current monthly report, the European Central Bank (ECB) predicts that the global economy will gradually pick up speed by the end of 2013. According to IDC, however, economies are

expected to develop regionally very differently: Growth prospects will improve slightly, but remain at low levels for key industrialized countries, while emerging nations are expected to slow down. The ECB believes emerging economies will nevertheless continue to outperform industrialized economies.

In the EMEA region, the ECB predicts the euro area economy will slowly improve in the fourth quarter of 2013, albeit with a slight decline in gross domestic product (GDP) for the full year 2013. The ECB anticipates that GDP will not see growth again until 2014, when it’s expected to expand around one percent. The other countries in the region will likewise see some new economic momentum by the end of the year, ECB says. It also forecasts a faster economic recovery in the Americas region, but notes that it is still unclear as to how the American financial sector will develop and thus impact the economy in the upcoming months. In the APJ region, Japan’s economy is expected to grow at low single-digit rates for the remainder of the year. Asia’s emerging markets, on the other hand, are expected to accelerate in the near future, and China’s economy will also get back on track, ECB reports.

Future Trends in the IT Market

International Data Corporation (IDC), a market research firm based in the United States, marginally reduced its full-year outlook for global IT sales growth. Yet it still anticipates growth rates in the mid-single-digit range, which is significantly above the global economic trend. Sales of smartphones and tablets will continue to be the driving force behind the global IT market as the year progresses, IDC adds. It expects the software segment – which includes packaged software as well as application software – will continue to grow in the mid-single digits range. For the hardware segment and the services segment, lower growth rates are expected for the full-year compared to three months ago. In addition, the institute predicts that the SaaS software segment will continue to take over market share from the services segment, which is, however, anticipated to have a slightly higher growth rate in 2013 than in 2012.

Experts rate the growth prospects in the EMEA region for the remainder of 2013 as more restrained compared to the outlook three months ago. The IT market in the Americas region,on the other hand, is expected to improve marginally, which IDC attributes to the booming smartphone and tablet market in the United States. The IT market in the APJ region, meanwhile, will continue to be shaped by the slower growth of the Chinese IT market, and although it is expected to expand faster than the Chinese economy as a whole, growth will remain under 10%. Against this backdrop, IDC predicts a slight downturn for the Japanese IT market.

Impact on SAP

The world is being transformed by the rapid adoption of cloud and in-memory technologies, and this trend became very prominent over the past quarter. Companies are shifting their investments to the cloud and radically simplifying their IT landscape on in-memory technology. In 2010, SAP embarked on a strategy of innovation – in cloud, in-memory, and mobile, all on a stable and consistent core (On Premise). This foresight is now paying off and we are driving this next evolution of the software industry.

As long as they develop as currently forecast, SAP expects to outperform the global economy and IT industry for the remainder of 2013 even though we adjusted our goals for 2013 with our second quarter results announcement. We are confident we can achieve this thanks to our five innovative market categories Applications, Analytics, Mobile, Cloud, and Database and Technology, which give us a competitive edge even in difficult economic environments. In addition, we benefit from our established innovation strategy and clear customer focus in more than 180 countries and 25 industries.

We will continue to invest in countries in which we expect significant growth, such as Brazil, China, India, Russia, and countries in the Middle East and Africa. As such, we see sufficient growth potential, and expect to reach our goals for 2013 as well as our mid-term goals for 2015. For more information, see the Operational Targets for 2013 (non-IFRS) section.

Forecast for SAP

Operational Targets for 2013 (Non-IFRS)

Revenue and Operating Profit Outlook

SAP reiterates the outlook for the full year 2013, which remains unchanged from the outlook provided on July 18, 2013:

The Company expects full year 2013 non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue to increase by at least 10% at constant currencies (2012: 13.25 billion).

The Company expects full year 2013 non-IFRS cloud subscription and support revenue of around 750 million at constant currencies (2012: 343 million)

The Company expects full year 2013 SAP HANA software revenue in a range of 650 – 700 million (2012: 392 million).

The Company expects full-year 2013 non-IFRS operating profit to be in a range of 5.85 billion – 5.95 billion at constant currencies (2012: 5.21 billion).

The Company projects a full-year 2013 IFRS effective tax rate of 24.0% – 25.0% (2012: 26.2%) and a non-IFRS effective tax rate of 25.5% – 26.5% (2012: 27.5%).

If exchange rates remain at the September 2013 level for the rest of the year, the Company expects both the fourth-quarter and full-year 2013 non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue growth rate to be negatively impacted by approximately 5 percentage points from currency and the fourth-quarter and full-year 2013 non-IFRS operating profit growth rate to be negatively impacted by approximately 7 percentage points from currency.

We expect our professional services and other service revenue to decline slightly in 2013 on a constant currency basis. Taking currency effects into account, we also expect to see a slight decline

 

 

 

24   INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT


Table of Contents

in professional services and other service revenue. We therefore predict that the increase in total revenue in 2013 will be influenced by the expected growth in software and software-related service revenue.

We expect that total revenue (non-IFRS) will continue to depend largely on the revenues from the On-Premise Products segment. In light of the above expectations for professional services and other service revenue, we therefore expect a decline in the On-Premise Services segment.

Since the revenue from Ariba was first consolidated and included in the Cloud Division (comprised of the Cloud Applications and Ariba segments) at the start of the fourth quarter 2012, a particularly strong growth result is expected in this segment.

We expect an increase in segment profit in our On-Premise division with the On-Premise Products segment profit growing faster than the On-Premise Services segment, for which we expect a decline in segment results as compared to 2012. The Cloud division is expected to achieve, for the first time, a positive segment profit resulting from a reduced segment loss in the Cloud Applications segment and a strong increase in the Ariba segment profit.

Total cloud revenue is expected to approach 1 billion in 2013.

Differences Between IFRS and

Non-IFRS Measures

As noted above, our guidance is based on non-IFRS measures at constant currencies. The following provides additional insight into the impact of the constant currency notion and the items by which our IFRS measures and non-IFRS measures differ.

The following amounts represent estimates for 2013 and a comparison of the actual differences between IFRS and non-IFRS measures on operating profit for the first nine months of 2013 and 2012:

1) All adjusting items are partly incurred in currencies other than the euro. Consequently, the amounts are subject to currency volatility. All estimates for 2013 provided in the table are at actual currency and are calculated based on certain assumptions regarding the developments of the different currency exchange rates. Depending on the future development of these exchange rates, the total amounts for 2013 may differ significantly from the estimates provided in the table above. The reader should remember that SAP’s outlook is based on constant currency.

2) We will consider all new information that emerges from further developments of the TomorrowNow lawsuit to determine if the provision should be adjusted in the future, which could result in a change to the estimate provided in the table above.

3) Our share-based payment expenses are subject, among other factors, to share price volatility, volatility in SAP’s performance against the Tech PGI index, anticipated achievement of financial KPI objectives, and fluctuations in SAP’s workforce. The estimates in the table above are based on certain assumptions regarding these factors. Depending on how these factors change in the future, the total expense for 2013 may differ significantly from these estimates.

4) The estimates provided above for share-based compensation expenses include grants under existing programs. New share-based compensation plans or changes to the existing plans may make the total amounts for 2013 differ significantly from these estimates.

5) The estimates provided above for acquisition-related charges are based on the acquisitions performed by SAP until the day of this document. Further acquisitions may make the total amounts for 2013 differ significantly from these estimates.

Goals for Liquidity, Finance, Investments, and Dividends

Our goals for liquidity, finance, investments, and dividends as discussed in our 2012 Integrated Report have changed as follows:

On September 30, 2013, we had a negative net liquidity. We believe that our liquid assets combined with our undrawn credit facilities are sufficient to meet our present operating financing needs in 2013 and, together with expected cash flows from operations, will support our currently planned capital expenditure requirements over the near term and medium term. We intend to reduce our

Table of Contents

financial debt as and when the debt falls due. We will consider issuing new debt, such as bonds or U.S. private placements, on an as-needed basis only and if market conditions are advantageous. We currently have no concrete plans for future share buybacks.

Excepting acquisitions, our planned capital expenditures for 2013 and 2014 can be covered in full by operating cash flow and will chiefly be spent on increasing data center capacity in our locations in Newtown Square (United States) and St. Leon-Rot (Germany). New buildings are planned in Potsdam (Germany), Bangalore (India), São Leopoldo (Brazil), and Ra’anana (Israel). We also plan to renovate and expand our office buildings in Vancouver (Canada), London (UK), Paris (France), Madrid (Spain), Stockholm (Sweden), Peking (China), and Palo Alto (United States).

The first two SAP Innovation Centers were opened in the third quarter of 2013 in Potsdam (Germany) and Nanjing (China).

As part of our growth and innovation strategy, we plan to spend around US$2 billion in China by 2015. This demonstrates our long-term strategic commitment to China, the world’s second-largest economy. SAP also continues to invest and increase its presence and market share in countries experiencing high growth.

We plan to continue our dividend policy, which is that the payout ratio should be more than 30%.

Premises on Which Our Outlook Is Based

In preparing our outlook guidance, we have taken into account all events known to us at the time we prepared this report that could influence SAP’s business going forward. Among the premises on which this outlook is based are those presented concerning economic development. This outlook does not take into consideration any effects in 2013 from major acquisitions except that of hybris.

Medium-Term Prospects

Our medium-term prospects as discussed in our 2012 Integrated Report and our 2012 Annual Report on Form 20-F did not change in the first nine months of 2013. We still aim to increase our total revenue to more than 20 billion by 2015. In the same period, we aim to widen our non-IFRS operating margin to 35%. To achieve these goals, we want to further strengthen our position in our five market categories and have one billion users by 2015.

We want to extend our leadership in the applications segment.
We want to extend our market share in analytics.
We want to extend our leadership in mobile computing.
We want to become a profitable market leader in cloud computing, generating around 2 billion total revenue in this segment by 2015.

Our plan is for indirect sales (partner revenue) to contribute up to 40% of software revenue by 2015.

The variances between the applicable IFRS standards as issued by the IASB and the standards as used by the European Union are not relevant to these financial statements.

Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS have been condensed or omitted. We believe that the disclosures made are adequate and that the information gives a true and fair view.

Our business activities are influenced by certain seasonal effects. Historically, our overall revenue tends to be highest in the fourth quarter. Interim results are therefore not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

Amounts reported in previous years have been reclassified as appropriate to conform to the presentation in this interim report.

These unaudited condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with SAP’s audited Consolidated IFRS Financial Statements for the Year Ended December 31, 2012, included in our 2012 Annual Report (extract from the SAP Integrated Report 2012) and our Annual Report 2012 on Form 20-F.

Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout these Interim Financial Statements may not add up precisely to the totals we provide and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.

(2) Scope of Consolidation

The following table summarizes the change in the number of legal entities included in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Number of Legal Entities Consolidated in the Financial Statements

 

      German      Foreign      Total  
January 1, 2012      23         176         199   
Additions      4         92         96   
Disposals      -5         -23         -28   
December 31, 2012      22         245         267   
Additions      1         20         21   
Disposals      0         -15         -15   
September 30, 2013      23         250         273   

The additions during the first nine months of 2013 relate to legal entities added in connection with foundations and acquisitions. The disposals are due to mergers and liquidations of operating and non-operating acquired legal entities.

Our changes in the scope of consolidation in the first nine months of 2013 were – except for the acquisition of hybris – not significant to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

For more information about our business combinations and the effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements, see Note (4)  and our Consolidated Financial Statements for 2012.

(3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

With the exception of the newly adopted accounting standards described below, these Interim Financial Statements were prepared based on the same accounting policies as those applied and described in the Consolidated Financial Statements as at December 31, 2012. Our significant accounting policies are summarized in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. For more information, see Note (3) in our Annual Report for 2012.

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

The following accounting standards newly adopted in the first nine months of 2013 were relevant for the group:

 

  - Amendments to IFRS 7 (Financial Instruments: Disclosures): Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities
 

 

36   CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – IFRS


Table of Contents
  - IFRS 10 (Consolidated Financial Statements), IFRS 11 (Joint Arrangements), and IFRS 12 (Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities) including amendments to the transition guidance for IFRS 10–12 issued in June 2012 (in other words, we adopted the new standards earlier than required by the European Union)
  - IFRS 13 (Fair Value Measurement)
  - Amendments to IAS 1 (Presentation of Financial Statements)
  - Amendments to IAS 19 (Employee Benefits)

The retrospective application of the revised IAS 19 has resulted in the netting of balance sheet items (mandatory netting of plan assets with time credits and early retirement obligations). Prior year numbers were restated accordingly (netting of financial assets with provisions in the amount of 124 million). Apart from that, the adoption of the standards/amendments does not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements but does result, for example, in additional disclosures and reclassifications.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

For more information about new accounting standards not yet adopted, see Note (3) in our Annual Report for 2012.

Total identifiable net assets      247         213   
                   
Goodwill      870         821   

The goodwill arising from the acquistions consists largely of the synergies and the know-how and technical skills of the acquired entities’ workforces.

We are still evaluating contingent liabilities and tax positions of our acquisitions. We do not expect to have a material impact on these positions.

Acquisitions made in the preceding year, including the acquisition of SuccessFactors on February 21, 2012, and Ariba on October 1, 2012, are described in the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2012 Annual Report.

(5) Employee Benefits Expense and Headcount

Employee benefits expense comprises the following:

Employee Benefits Expense

 

millions    Q3 2013      1/1-9/30/2013      Q3 2012      1/1-9/30/2012

Share-based payments      83         192         152         333

Employee Benefits Expense      1,819         5,456         1,822         5,218   

Acquired companies are only included in the employee benefits expense as of the company’s acquisition date. SuccessFactors is therefore included in the employee benefits expense of prior year numbers as of February 21, 2012; Ariba and hybris are not included.

On September 30, 2013, the breakdown of our full-time equivalent employee numbers by function in SAP and by region was as shown in the table below. The increase in headcount in the SAP Group to 66,061 employees is mainly due to additions from business combinations (especially Ariba and hybris).

On September 30, 2013, our current deferred income was 2,235 million (December 31, 2012: 1,386 million) and our non-current deferred income was 64 million (December 31, 2012: 62 million). On September 30, 2013, current deferred income includes a total of 376 million in deferred revenue (December 31, 2012: 317 million; September 30, 2012: 169 million), which in future will likely be recognized as revenue from cloud subscriptions and support.

(12) Total Equity

Issued Shares

On September 30, 2013, SAP AG had 1,228,504,232 no-par issued shares (December 31, 2012: 1,228,504,232) issued with a calculated nominal value of 1 per share. Thus, issued shares remain unchanged in the first nine months of 2013. In the first nine months of 2012, the number of issued shares increased by 256,216 shares (Q3 2012: 0), resulting from the exercise of awards granted under certain share-based payments.

Treasury Shares

On September 30, 2013, we held 35 million treasury shares, representing 35 million or 2.84% of capital stock.

In the first nine months of 2013, we did not acquire shares for treasury and disposed 1.4 million (Q3 2013: 1.2 million) shares at an average price of approximately 36.80 (Q3 2013: 36.80) per share.

In the first nine months of 2012, we acquired 1.1 million shares (Q3 2012: 0 million) with a purchase price of approximately 48.14 per share and disposed 2.4 million (Q3 2012: 0.1 million) shares at an average price of approximately 36.65 (Q3 2012: 36.80) per share.

Share purchases and share sales in 2013 and 2012 were in connection with our share-based payments, which are described in Note (27) in the Annual Report for 2012.

We are subject to a variety of claims and lawsuits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business, including proceedings and claims that relate to companies we have acquired, and claims that relate to customers demanding indemnification for proceedings initiated against them based on their use of SAP software. We will continue to vigorously defend against all claims and lawsuits against us. We record a provision for such matters when it is probable that we have a present obligation that results from a past event, is reliably estimable, and the settlement of which is probable to require an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits. For the TomorrowNow litigation, we have recorded a provision of US$306 million (US$272 million on December 31, 2011, US$1.3 billion on December 31, 2010). We currently believe that resolving all other claims and lawsuits against us, individually or in the aggregate, did not and will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, profit, or cash flows. Consequently, the provisions currently recorded for these other claims and lawsuits are neither individually nor in aggregate material to SAP.

However, the outcome of litigation and other claims or lawsuits is intrinsically subject to considerable uncertainty. Management’s view of the litigation may also change in the future. Actual outcomes of

litigation and other claims or lawsuits may differ from the assessments made by management in prior periods, which could result in a material impact on our business, financial position, profit, cash flows, or reputation. We cannot reliably estimate the maximum possible loss in case of an unfavorable outcome.

For a description of the development of the provisions recorded for litigation, see our Annual Report 2012, Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements section, Note (18b).

Among the claims and lawsuits are the following:

Intellectual Property Litigation

In March 2007, United States-based Oracle Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries (Oracle) instituted legal proceedings in the United States against TomorrowNow, Inc., its parent company SAP America, Inc. and SAP America’s parent company SAP AG (SAP). Oracle filed several amended complaints between 2007 and 2009. As amended, the lawsuit alleges copyright infringement, violations of the Federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and the California Computer Data Access and Fraud Act, unfair competition, intentional and negligent interference with prospective economic advantage, and civil conspiracy. The lawsuit alleges that SAP unlawfully copied and misappropriated proprietary, copyrighted software products and other confidential materials developed by Oracle to service its own customers. The lawsuit sought injunctive relief and monetary damages, including punitive damages, alleged by Oracle to be in the billions of U.S. dollars. The trial was held in November 2010. Prior to trial, SAP AG, SAP America and TomorrowNow stipulated to liability for certain claims, and SAP agreed to pay Oracle US$120 million for attorneys’ fees. After the trial, the jury returned a damages verdict of US$1.3 billion. The judgment which was issued on February 3, 2011, additionally provided for prejudgment interest of US$15 million. The judgment amount is also subject to post-judgment interest, which accrues from the time judgment is entered.

The jury based its verdict on the theory of a hypothetical license, that is, the value of what TomorrowNow would have paid if it had negotiated with Oracle a license for the copyrights infringed by TomorrowNow. Before and during the course of the trial, various damages amounts had been presented by the parties to the litigation. They included the following:

a) Before the trial, Oracle had requested damages in excess of US$3.5 billion based on alleged “saved acquisition costs,” the court dismissed that damage claim based on a pretrial motion, but Oracle has the right to appeal that dismissal.

b) During the trial, Oracle’s damages experts presented an amount of US$408 million based on lost profits and disgorgement of infringer’s profit.

c) During the trial, members of Oracle management presented, as part of their testimonies, amounts of up to US$5 billion. Oracle’s damages expert presented a damages estimate of “at least” US$1.655 billion under a hypothetical license theory. Oracle’s counsel asked the jury to award “somewhere between US$1.65 and US$3 billion.”

d) During the trial, the damages expert for TomorrowNow and SAP presented an amount of US$28 million based on lost profits and infringer’s profits or, alternatively, US$40.6 million based on a hypothetical license theory. Counsel for SAP and TomorrowNow asked the jury to award US$28 million.

We believed both before and during the trial and continue to believe that the hypothetical license theory is not an appropriate basis for calculating the damages. Instead, we believe that damages should be based on lost profits and infringer’s profits. As such, SAP filed post-trial motions asking the judge to overturn the judgment. A hearing on the post-trial motions was held in July 2011. On September 1, 2011, the trial judge issued an order which set aside the jury verdict and vacated that part of the judgment awarding US$1.3 billion in damages. The trial judge also gave Oracle the choice of accepting reduced damages of US$272 million or having a new trial based on lost profits and infringer’s profits. Oracle filed a motion seeking an early appeal from the ruling vacating the jury’s damages award, which was denied by the judge. Consequently, Oracle elected to proceed with a new trial. In lieu of a new trial, the parties stipulated to a judgment of US$306 million while each preserving all rights for appeal. Both parties have filed their respective notice of appeal. On appeal, Oracle is seeking three forms of relief: (1) reinstatement of the November 2010 $1.3 billion verdict; (2) as a first alternative, a new trial at which Oracle may again seek hypothetical license damages (based in part on evidence of alleged saved development costs) plus SAP’s alleged infringer’s profits without any deduction of expenses (Oracle does not put a number on its claim for the requested new trial); and (3) as a second alternative, increase of the remittitur (alternative to new trial) to $408.7 million (versus the $272 million Oracle had previously rejected). SAP has dismissed its cross-appeal. The hearing is not yet scheduled.

Additionally, in June 2007, SAP became aware that the United States Department of Justice (U.S. DOJ) had opened an investigation concerning related

issues and had issued subpoenas to SAP and TomorrowNow. The DOJ investigation has been resolved by way of a plea agreement which includes TomorrowNow pleading guilty to 11 counts of violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, one count of criminal copyright infringement, the payment of a US$20 million fine and three years probation. No charges were brought against SAP AG or subsidiaries thereof other than TomorrowNow.

In April 2007, United States-based Versata Software, Inc. (formerly Trilogy Software, Inc.) (Versata) instituted legal proceedings in the United States against SAP. Versata alleged that SAP’s products infringe one or more of the claims in each of five patents held by Versata. In its complaint, Versata sought unspecified monetary damages and permanent injunctive relief. The first trial was held in August 2009. The jury returned a verdict in favor of Versata and awarded Versata US$138.6 million for past damages. In January 2011, the court vacated the jury’s damages award and ordered a new trial on damages. The re-trial was held in May 2011. The jury returned a verdict in favor of Versata and awarded Versata US$345 million for past damages. In September 2011, the judge denied SAP’s post-trial motions with the exception of reducing the damages verdict by US$16 million to approximately US$329 million. The judge also ordered approximately US$60 million in pre-judgment interest. Additionally, the judge granted Versata’s request for a broad injunction which prohibits SAP from 1) selling products in the United States with the infringing functionality, 2) providing maintenance to or accepting maintenance revenue from existing customers in the United States until such customers disable the infringing functionality and verify such disablement, and 3) licensing additional users to existing customers in the United States until such customers disable the infringing functionality and verify such disablement. Finally, the judge stayed the injunction pending the outcome of an appeal. Both parties appealed. The hearing occurred in February 2013 and a decision was issued on May 1, 2013. The three judge panel ruled in Versata’s favor on infringement and damages, leaving both fully intact. The past damages verdict currently stands at approximately $390 million. Regarding the injunction, the court ruled that the injunction was too broad, stating that SAP should be able to provide maintenance or additional seats for prior customers of the infringing products, so long as the maintenance or the additional seat does not involve, or allow access to, the “enjoined capability” where enjoined capability is defined as the capability to execute a pricing procedure using hierarchical access of customer and product data.

SAP filed a petition seeking rehearing by the three-judge panel that issued this decision and/or by the entire appeals court. The appeals court requested that Versata respond to SAP’s petition no later than July 29, 2013. In August 2013, the appeals court denied SAP’s request for rehearing and issued its mandate passing jurisdiction to the district court.

Additionally, SAP filed a petition with the United States Patent Office (USPTO) challenging the validity of the asserted Versata patent. In January 2013, the USPTO granted SAP’s request to reconsider the validity of Versata’s patent and instituted the relevant procedure (transitional post grant review). A decision was issued in June 2013 rendering all challenged patent claims (including all the patent claims SAP was found to have infringed) unpatentable. Versata filed with the USPTO a request seeking reconsideration of the decision on six different grounds. The USPTO invited SAP to file an opposition responding to two of the six grounds. On September 13, 2013, the USPTO denied Versata’s request for reconsideration.

In June 2013, SAP filed a request with the appeals court to stay the litigation pending review of the USPTO decision. That request was denied in early July 2013.

In August 2007, United States-based elcommerce.com, Inc. (elcommerce) instituted legal proceedings in the United States against SAP. elcommerce alleged that SAP’s products infringe one or more of the claims in one patent held by elcommerce. In its complaint, elcommerce sought unspecified monetary damages and permanent injunctive relief. The court in East Texas granted SAP’s request to transfer the litigation from East Texas to Pennsylvania. Subsequent to the Markman ruling by the court, the parties agreed to the entry of final judgment regarding non-infringement by SAP. elcommerce has appealed the court’s Markman ruling. The hearing for the appeal was held in May 2012, and we are awaiting the court’s decision. SAP also filed a reexamination request with the USPTO to invalidate elcommerce’s patent. On September 23, 2013, the USPTO issued a decision invalidating the patent. elcommerce may appeal that decision.

In February 2010, United States-based TecSec, Inc. (TecSec) instituted legal proceedings in the United States against SAP, Sybase, IBM, and many other defendants. TecSec alleged that SAP’s products infringe one or more of the claims in five patents held by TecSec. In its complaint, TecSec seeks unspecified monetary damages and permanent injunctive relief. The trial has not yet been scheduled. The legal proceedings have been stayed against all

defendants pending the outcome of an appeal by TecSec. The appeal hearing occurred in March 2013. The appellate court issued its decision in October, 2013. That decision did not end the litigation and therefore we expect the lawsuit to resume at the district court in the coming months.

In April 2010, SAP instituted legal proceedings (a Declaratory Judgment action) in the United States against Wellogix, Inc. and Wellogix Technology Licensing, LLC (Wellogix). The lawsuit seeks a declaratory judgment that five patents owned by Wellogix are invalid and/or not infringed by SAP. The trial has not yet been scheduled. The legal proceedings have been stayed pending the outcome of six re-examinations filed with the USPTO. In September, 2013, the USPTO issued a decision on four of the six reexaminations, invalidating every claim of each of the four patents. SAP is awaiting a decision on the two remaining reexamination requests.

Other Litigation

In April 2008, South African-based Systems Applications Consultants (PTY) Limited (Securinfo) instituted legal proceedings in South Africa against SAP. Securinfo alleges that SAP has caused one of its subsidiaries to breach a software distribution agreement with Securinfo. In its complaint, Securinfo seeks damages of approximately 610 million plus interest. In September 2009, SAP filed a motion to dismiss which was rejected. A trial date which was scheduled for June 2011 has been postponed.

In November 2012, SAP filed a motion to dismiss based on a procedural aspect of the case. The court followed SAP’s argument and dismissed the claim by Securinfo. Securinfo appealed against this decision on December 19, 2012.

In March 2013, the court dismissed Securinfo’s appeal. Securinfo appealed against this decision to the Supreme Court of South Africa. The Supreme Court granted leave to appeal to the full bench of the court which had originally dismissed Securinfo’s appeals. Securinfo may now apply for an appeal hearing date. Such application must be provided to the court by December 10, 2013.

We are subject to ongoing audits by domestic and foreign tax authorities. Along with many other companies operating in Brazil, we are involved in various proceedings with Brazilian authorities regarding assessments and litigation matters on non-income taxes on intercompany royalty payments and intercompany services. The total potential amount related to these matters for all applicable years is approximately 81 million. We have not recorded a provision for these matters, as we believe that we will prevail on these matters.

(15) Share-Based Payments

For a detailed description of our share-based payment plans, see our Annual Report 2012, Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements section, Note (27).

Share Matching Plan 2013 (SMP 2013)

Under the SMP 2013, SAP offered its employees the opportunity to purchase SAP AG shares at a discount of 40%. The number of SAP shares an eligible employee was able to purchase was limited to a percentage of the employee’s annual base salary. After a holding period of three years, the employees receive one SAP share free of charge for every three shares held. The terms for the Global Executives are different. Instead of receiving a discount, Global Executives are granted two bonus shares for every three shares acquired and held during the three-year vesting period. In September 2013, the participants purchased 1.6 million SAP shares in aggregate at a discounted share price of 33.72. The discount of 32.4 million was expensed immediately. The fair value of the right to a bonus share was estimated on the grant date (September 4, 2013) at 51.09 per share, using a risk-free interest rate of 0.43%, a dividend yield of 1.92%, and an expected life of three years.

The outstanding bonus shares under the Share Matching Plan are as follows:

Stock Option Plan 2010 (2013 Tranche)

Under the Stock Option Plan 2010 (2013 Tranche), we granted 7.4 million cash-based virtual stock

options to Global Executives and to SAP’s Top Rewards (top talents and top performers) in 2013.

The vesting period is three years and the contractual term of the program is six years. The exercise price is 59.85 and the fair value on the grant date was 9.48.

(16) Other Financial Instruments

A detailed overview of our other financial instruments, financial risk factors, and the management of financial risks are presented in Notes (24) to (26) to our Consolidated Financial Statements for 2012, which are included in our 2012 Integrated Report, and our Annual Report 2012 on Form 20-F.

There have been no significant changes with regards to our financial risk profile since December 31, 2012, except for the following: With regard to the acquisition of hybris and to safeguard our liquidity, SAP AG secured a 1.0 billion dual-currency credit facility agreement with an initial term of 12 months which was drawn down in EUR . Borrowings under the facility bear interest of EURIBOR plus a margin of 60 to 90 basis points.

In the following, we disclose the fair value of financial instruments, valuation techniques and inputs used and the level of the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurements are categorized.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We use various types of financial instruments in the ordinary course of business which are grouped into the following categories: Loans and receivables (L&R), available-for-sale (AFS), held-for-trading (HFT), and amortized cost (AC). The table below shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and liabilities by category of financial instrument as well as by category of IAS 39. Since the line items “Trade receivables,” “Trade payables,” and “Other financial assets” contain both financial and non-financial assets or liabilities (such as other taxes or advance payments), the non-financial assets or liabilities are shown in the column headed “Not in Scope of IFRS 7” to allow a reconciliation to the corresponding line items in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The carrying amounts and fair values of our financial instruments as of the reporting date, were as follows:

Determination of Fair Value

IFRS 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

Accordingly, best evidence of fair value provides quoted prices in an active market. Where market prices are not readily available, valuation techniques have to be used to establish fair value. Depending on the inputs used in and their significance for the valuation techniques, we have categorized our

financial instruments at fair value into a three-level fair value hierarchy as mandated by IFRS 13. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The inputs used to measure fair value for one single instrument may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its

entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The levels of the fair value hierarchy, its application to our financial assets and liabilities, and the respective determination of fair value are described below:

- Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

  - Marketable available-for-sale debt and equity investments: The fair values of these securities are based on quoted market prices on as of the reporting date.

– Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

  - Derivative financial instruments: The fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts is based on discounting the expected future cash flows over the respective remaining term of the contracts, using the respective market interest rates appropriate to the remaining term of the forwards contracts. The fair value of our foreign currency options is calculated taking into account current spot rates and strike prices, the volatility of the respective
  currencies, the remaining term of the options, as well as market interest rates. The fair value of the derivatives entered into to hedge our share-based payments are calculated considering risk-free interest rates, the remaining term of the derivatives, the dividend yields, the stock price, and the volatility of our share.
  - Available-for-sale equity investments in public companies: Certain of our equity investments in public companies were restricted from being sold for a limited period. Therefore, fair value is determined based on quoted market prices as of the reporting date, deducting a discount for the disposal restriction based on the premium for a respective put option.

– Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities.

The following table allocates those financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in accordance with IAS 39 either through profit or loss or other comprehensive income as of the reporting date, to the three levels of the fair value hierarchy according to IFRS 13.

(17) Segment and Geographic Information

General Information

Our internal reporting system produces reports in which business activities are presented in a variety of ways, for example, by line of business, geography, and areas of responsibility of the individual Board members. Based on these reports, the Executive Board, which is responsible for assessing the performance of various company components and making resource allocation decisions as our Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), evaluates business activities in a number of different ways.

SAP has two divisions – On-Premise and Cloud, which are further divided into operating segments. Our On-Premise division is comprised of two operating segments: On-Premise Products and On-Premise Services, and our Cloud division of two operating segments: Cloud Applications and Ariba. All operating segments are reportable segments.

On August 1, 2013, SAP acquired hybris AG. The acquisition will enable SAP to deliver the next-generation e-commerce platform based on the latest technology, with the choice of on-premise or on-demand deployment. Since the majority of hybris’ activities are currently delivered in an on-premise model, the majority of hybris’ activities are correspondingly reflected in the On-Premise division.

The most important factors we use to identify operating segments are distinctions among our product and service offerings, notably:

  - Between divisions, the software delivery model (software to be installed on the customer’s hardware (on-premise software), distinct from software for delivery in the cloud)
  - Within the On-Premise division, the types of services offered
  - Within the Cloud division, the fields in which the cloud applications are used

The On-Premise division derives its revenues primarily from the sale of on-premise software (that is, software designed for use on hardware on the customer’s premises), mobile software (that is, software designed for use on mobile devices), and services relating to such software. Within the On-Premise division, the On-Premise Products segment is primarily engaged in marketing and licensing our on-premise and mobile software products and providing support services for these software products. The On-Premise Services segment primarily performs various professional services, mainly implementation services of our software products and educational services on the use of our software products.

The Cloud division derives its revenues primarily from the sale of cloud software (that is, software designed for delivery through the cloud) and services relating to such software (including support services, from its cloud-based collaborative business network. Professional services, and educational services). Within the Cloud division, the Cloud Applications segment is primarily engaged in marketing and selling subscriptions to the cloud software offerings developed by SAP and SuccessFactors. The Ariba segment primarily markets and sells the cloud software offerings developed by Ariba and derives revenue.

Table of Contents

Geographic Information

The tables below show the geographical breakdown of revenue according to specific criteria:

  - The management view is the geographic revenue breakdown that the SAP Executive Board, SAP’s chief operating decision-maker, uses primarily when reviewing revenue by sales destination. Under this view, the software revenue from a software contract is attributed to the country in which the contract was negotiated. Such reporting presumes that the software contract was negotiated in the country in which the customer is domiciled. The only circumstances in which this presumption is not applied is where there is objective evidence that all contract negotiations took place in a country other than the domicile of the legal entity contracting on the customer’s behalf. Software revenue from a given software contract is always attributed to a single geographical region; in other words, the software revenue it is not split between geographical regions. Because cloud subscriptions and support revenue is earned largely from contracts that were negotiated in various periods in the past, it is allocated without exception to the country in which the customer is domiciled.
  - In the presentation by customer location, all revenue is attributed to the country in which the customer is domiciled.

(18) Related Party Transactions

Certain Executive Board and Supervisory Board members of SAP AG currently hold (or have held within the last year) positions of significant responsibility with other entities (see the SAP Annual Report 2012, Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements section, Note (29)). We have relationships with certain of these entities in the ordinary course of business whereby we buy and sell a wide variety of services and products at prices believed to be consistent with those negotiated at arm’s length between unrelated parties.

During the reporting period, we had no related party transactions that had a material effect on our business, financial position, or results in the reporting period.

For more information about related party transactions, see the SAP Integrated Report 2012, Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements section, Note (30).

* Adjustments in the revenue line items are for support revenue, cloud subscription 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.

Due to rounding, numbers may not add up precisely.

* Adjustments in the revenue line items are for support revenue, cloud subscription 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.

** 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.

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.

* Adjustments in the revenue line items are for support revenue, cloud subscription 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.

** Days’ Sales Outstanding measures the length of time it takes to collect receivables. SAP calculates DSO by dividing the average invoiced accounts receivables balance of the last 12 months by the average monthly sales of the last 12 months.
