WALLDORF, Germany – March 21, 2014 – SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today announced that its Annual Report is now available and that SAP’s Annual Report on Form 20-F has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the year ended December 31, 2013.

In the reports, SAP reaffirmed its previously published (January 21, 2014) business outlook.

While the Company’s 2014 business outlook disclosed in SAP’s Annual Report and Annual Report on Form 20-F is at constant currency, actual currency reported figures are expected to continue to be negatively impacted by currency exchange rate fluctuations. SAP has disclosed, in its Annual Report on Form 20-F filed today, that if exchange rates remain at the March 2014 level for the rest of the year, the Company expects non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue and non-IFRS operating profit growth rates at actual currency to experience a negative currency impact of approximately 5 percentage points and 7 percentage points respectively in the first quarter of 2014 and of approximately 4 percentage points and 5 percentage points respectively in the full year 2014.

SAP’s Annual Report 2013 is a subset of the information contained in the company’s Integrated Report unveiled at www.sapintegratedreport.com today. SAP’s Integrated Report combines and connects information traditionally found in an annual report with information usually shared in a sustainability report.
