IFRS operating profit increased to €2.46 billion and IFRS operatingmargin was up 12.5 percentage points to 27.2%.

Operating cash flow in the second quarter was up 71% to €2.58 billionand free cash flow increased by 83% to €2.36 billion.

2 The effective tax rate(non-IFRS) is a non-IFRS financial measure and is presented for supplemental informational purposes only. We do not provide an outlookfor the effective tax rate (IFRS) due to the uncertainty and potential variability of gains and losses associated with equity securities,which are reconciling items between the two effective tax rates (non-IFRS and IFRS). These items cannot be provided without unreasonableefforts but could have a significant impact on our future effective tax rate (IFRS).

(H)            SegmentReporting

 

(H.1)      SegmentPolicies and Changes 

SAP is organizedin two operating segments, the Applications, Technology & Support (ATS) segment and the Core Services segment:

 

The ATS segment represents SAP’s cohesive product portfolio which is holistically steered and commercialized. It primarily generates revenue from cloud subscriptions and from the sale of software licenses and support offerings, and it incurs cost for support, operating our solutions, and the provision of infrastructure. The revenue and cost for services arise for SAP’s training business which is highly integrated with SAP’s product portfolio.

 

The Core Services segment supports SAP’s product portfolio by enabling customers to transform their business and accelerate the adoption of innovations. Revenues are mainly generated from professional consulting services and premium support services. Cost is incurred primarily for the delivery of those services. The Core Services segment does not reflect the full services business.

 

The segmentinformation for comparative prior periods was restated to conform with the new segment composition.

(K)            Share-BasedPayment

 

SAP’sshare-based payment expenses included in SAPs non-IFRS operating expenses break down as follows:

 

€ millions Q2 2025 Q1–Q2 2025 Q2 2024 Q1–Q2 2024
Cost of cloud –33 –59 –34 –73
Cost of software licenses and support –9 –16 –11 –22
Cost of services –72 –133 –89 –192
Research and development –190 –326 –191 –403
Sales and marketing –180 –331 –218 –476
General and administration –45 –84 –48 –114
Share-based payment expenses –529 –949 –592 –1,280

 

 

The decreasein share-based payment expenses is mainly due to a lower increase in the SAP share price as compared to 2024 (around €22 in thefirst half of 2025; around €50 in the first half of 2024) as well as lower grant volumes as compared to prior years. Income forthe hedging of cash-settled share-based compensation programs amounted to €30 million in the first half of 2025 (first half of 2024: €0 million). For more information about share-based payment expenses, see the Notes to the Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements,Note (B.3).

 

Additionally,in the second quarter of 2025 SAP recognized €6 million (Q2/2024: €107 million) of accelerated share-based payment expensestriggered by the transformation program. In the first half of 2025 accelerated share-based payment expenses amounting to €19 million(HY1/2024: €189 million) have been recognized. These share-based payment expenses are classified as restructuring expenses in SAP’sconsolidated income statements.

 

Associated share-basedpayments in the first half of 2025 amounted to €62 million (HY1/2024: €2 million) and are classified as a decrease in provisionsand other liabilities in SAP’s consolidated statements of cash flows.

Strategyand Business Model

 

SAPcontinues to execute on the strategy and business model as described in the SAP IntegratedReport 2024 to become the #1 enterprise application and business AI company.

 

OurProduct Strategy

 

Toaccomplish this objective, SAP’s product strategy is anchored in two strategic priorities: AI-First and Suite-First. The synergyof applications, data, and AI are the driving force behind our SAP Business Suite – an offering that providesa comprehensive set of integrated solutions, combining SAP’s core cloud ERP and line of business (LoB) applications to seamlesslyconnect every function across the business end to end. Fueled by business data and meaningful AI, SAP Business Suite empowerscustomers to scale, innovate, and deliver value. Bringing together applications, data, and AI can be key for customers to achieve ormaintain their competitive advantage. As the foundation of SAP Business Suite, SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP)connects, extends, and automates business processes and applications, accelerates application development, and deploys AI capabilitiesthat drive growth and innovation.

 

Substantialupdates to SAP’s product strategy and portfolio for the first half of 2025 are as follows:

 

Thenewly launched SAP Business Data Cloud offering is a fully managed software-as-a-service solution. It gives customers a holisticview of their operations by unifying and governing SAP and third-party data, while aiming to retain the data’s semantical contextand meaning. SAP Databricks is a capability included in SAP Business Data Cloud that provides data and AI professionalswith access to data engineering, AI, and machine learning capabilities within a single solution. SAP Business Data Cloud equipsJoule Agents with a single, trusted data layer that integrates data across SAP and non-SAP sources and enables customers to activatea AI-first, Suite-first approach to digital transformation. AI agents1 can leverage these context-rich data sets for deeperanalysis and more informed decision-making to help solve customers’ problems. The SAP Knowledge Graph solution illustratesthe connections between data and processes, serving as the semantic bridge between Joule Agents and SAP Business Data Cloud. Thishelps agents identify the most pertinent data for their decisions and actions. In the first half of 2025, we released 14 AI agents aswell as more than 100 pre-built, SAP-managed data products for the SAP Business Data Cloud. By the end of 2025, we expect to reach atotal of 40 AI agents as well as more than double the number of data products for the SAP Business Data Cloud.

 

JouleStudio was released in June 2025 and provides a new capability within SAP Build, which enables users to build AI agentsand skills for Joule that are scalable, secure, and grounded in business context to enhance business specific outcomes. The offeringaims to help customers implement innovations intuitively and more efficiently.

 

SAP Joulefor Consultants is a new solution that helps consultants accelerate customers’ cloud transformation projects. It provides pertinentinformation including ABAP code explanations, business logic, and structure, as well as relevant documentation. It can save up to 90minutes per consultant and day.

 

Joulefor developers, an add-on to SAP Build, empowers developers of all skill levels to build more efficiently by leveraging comprehensive,AI-infused developer tools to deliver precise, contextualized outcomes powered by purpose-built, SAP-centric AI models. Leveraging capabilitiessuch as Joule for developers can increase coders’ productivity by up to 20%.

    SAP Half-Year Report 2025

 

TheDigital Sales Engagement Platform, which is powered by Joule, is designed to enhance customer interactions and streamline salesprocesses. It can increase productivity by up to 50% for selected roles.

  

By combining our Jouletechnology with WalkMe, the adoption platform acquired by SAP in 2024, Joule becomes omnipresent with the new Joule action barand can follow business users across SAP and non-SAP systems, using context from active applications to connect data, surface insights,and streamline workflows.

 

SAP announcedvarious partnerships in the first half of 2025. Among others, SAP and Accenture announced, on May 20, a partnership to help companiesenable connected intelligence across the enterprise to drive speed and agility in the AI era, through a strategic expansion of theirlongstanding partnership. Also on May 20, SAP and Perplexity announced a partnership to extend SAP’s generative AI and searchcapabilities by bringing together unstructured and structured data. In addition, SAP and Palantir announced a partnership to facilitatejoint customers’ cloud migration journey and modernization programs, by connecting the unified, context-rich data environment ofSAP Business Data Cloud with Palantir’s Ontology and Artificial Intelligence Platform. On May 27, SAP and Alibaba Group announceda strategic partnership to accelerate cloud transformation.

 

For moreinformation about SAP’s product strategy and product portfolio, see the Our ProductStrategy section in our Management Report 2024.

 

1 AIagents are intelligent systems that autonomously perform multi-step workflows without explicit programming. Agents use frontier AI modelsto decide which actions to take and in which order and then interact with tools to execute their plan. This ability to reason, plan,and act allows agents to address a wide range of situations that would be impractical or impossible to automate with business rules orpre-configured logic.

 

PerformanceManagement System

 

We usevarious performance measures to manage our performance with regard to our primary financial objectives, which are growth and profitability,and our primary non-financial objectives, which are customer loyalty, employee engagement, climate performance, and business health culture.

 

Fora more detailed description of SAP’s non-IFRS measures, their purpose and limitations, as well as SAP’s constant currencyand free cash flow figures, see SAP Performance Measures which is availableon our website.

 

Changesin Financial Measures

 

Starting2025, SAP includes proceeds from sales of intangible assets and property, plant, and equipment in its calculation of free cash flow (FCF).This change better reflects the manner in which SAP management evaluates the cash flow generated by operating activities after investmentsin long-term assets and leasing.

 

Additionallyimpacting the FCF, SAP has changed its presentation of consolidated statements of cash flows. Interest paid and interest received isno longer classified as a part of net cash flows from operating activities. Interest paid is now presented under cash flows from financingactivities, and interest received under cash flows from investing activities.

 

Formore information, see Note (IN.1).

 

Changein Non-Financial Measures

 

In May 2025,SAP replaced the Women in Executive Roles measure with the Business Health Culture Index (BHCI) in its non-financial steering metrics.The BHCI is a cross-sectional index that holistically captures employee experience at SAP across key themes (including leadership effectivenessand employee well-being), reinforcing its role as a strong indicator of a healthy work environment. It measures the extent to which SAPprovides employees with a working environment that fosters active engagement in achieving corporate goals, promotes health, ensures equalopportunity for all, and supports their long-term employability. The BHCI is based on the results of 10 questions in the Company’s#Unfiltered engagement survey.

FinancialPerformance Review and Analysis

 

Economyand the Market

 

GlobalEconomic Trends

 

Growthin global economic activity declined moderately in the first half of 2025, states the European Central Bank (ECB) in its most recentEconomic Bulletin.1 Economic activity was mainly weakened by trade conflicts: Raised tariffs, for instance, increased thecosts of final and intermediate goods imported from abroad. This in turn weighed on domestic consumption and eroded the competitivenessof exporters by pushing up production costs.

 

In theEMEA region, the euro area economy had a stronger first half year than previously expected. According to the ECB, euro area output rosefor five consecutive quarters including the first quarter of 2025. It therefore concludes that the euro area economy has built up someresilience to global shocks as well as benefitted from the frontloading of the manufacturing sector’s exports in anticipation ofhigher tariffs and from private consumption and investment. However, output fell back slightly in the second quarter due to decliningbusiness activity in the domestically oriented services sector. At the same time, trade tariff discussions, financial market tensions,and geopolitical uncertainty weighed on economic confidence.

 

Regardingthe Americas region, most attention was on the United States. In the first half of 2025, the U.S. administration increased the effectivetariff rate on imported goods significantly. In consequence, says the ECB, U.S. real GDP edged into negative territory in the first quarter,as the frontloading of imports resulted in a large negative contribution from net trade. However, domestic demand remained relativelysolid, as upward price pressures for imported goods only began to kick in towards the middle of the year. Elevated trade policy uncertaintyshaped the economic development worldwide, but a decline in economic growth was particularly pronounced for Canada and Mexico, findsthe ECB.

 

Withinthe APJ region, the increase in U.S. tariffs was most considerable on China, notwithstanding a recent agreement to temporarily lowertariff rates. Hence, China’s real GDP growth was strong in the first quarter, boosted by robust domestic demand and frontloadedexports. Since then, however, high U.S. tariffs and adjustments in the real estate sector have weighed on Chinese economic activity,reports the ECB.

 

TheIT Market

 

EnterpriseIT continues to evolve rapidly in 2025, driven by artificial intelligence (AI), business automation, and cloud-native platforms. Accordingto International Data Corporation (IDC), a U.S.-based market research firm, “organizations have been rapidly adopting AI capabilitiesoffered in enterprise applications, fueled by promises like higher productivity and efficiency.”2

 

AI capabilitiesare becoming more embedded into core business applications, transforming how employees interact with enterprise software. AI agents areincreasingly functioning as digital teammates, streamlining workflows, guiding decisions, and improving service outcomes. Nonetheless, “as organizations embrace AI-infused capabilities in their enterprise applications, their differentiating value must be captured”,states IDC.2 This could be in the form of more automation, autonomous processes, or the ability to leverage technology betterthan before. According to IDC, “the top reason organizations are modernizing their enterprise applications is to ensure their coreapplications are AI enabled.”2 Furthermore, with regards to the overarching theme of value creation, IDC statesthat “we are in the midst of an ‘intelligence revolution,’ in which AI and automation-oriented technology are majoraccelerators of business change.”3

Impacton SAP

 

In thefirst half of 2025, SAP remained focused on enabling its customers to thrive in a complex macroeconomic environment marked by geopoliticaluncertainty, cautious investment sentiment, and rapid shifts in digital expectations. As companies continue to navigate inflationarypressure, trade imbalances, and talent constraints, SAP’s portfolio strategy is designed to support business resilience, agility,and long-term transformation.

 

SAP’sinnovation efforts were underscored by the announcement of the SAP Business Data Cloud (SAP BDC) solution at its Unleashedevent earlier this year. The SAP BDC solution serves as the cornerstone of our broader SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP)vision, accelerating data readiness for AI and simplifying enterprise intelligence deployment at scale.

 

At Sapphire 2025in May, SAP reinforced its commitment to delivering AI-powered business outcomes by launching new generative AI features across its portfolio.Analysts have acknowledged SAP’s disciplined execution and rapid AI-enablement, noting its focus on connecting data, intelligence,and outcomes as a key differentiator in the enterprise applications market.

OperatingPerformance (IFRS and Non-IFRS)

 

Cloudand software revenue was €15,904 million (first half of 2024: €14,134 million), an increase of 13%. On a constantcurrency basis, the increase was 14%. This increase was mainly driven by cloud revenue growth of 25% (27% at constant currencies), whichwas particularly fueled by strong growth in our Cloud ERP Suite. Software licenses revenue decreased 13% (12% at constant currencies)as more customers selected SAP’s cloud offerings such as RISE with SAP. Software support revenue was €5,403 million(first half of 2024: €5,621 million), a decrease of 4% (3% at constant currencies). Our current cloud backlog reached €18,052 million (first half of 2024: €14,808 million), an increase of 22% (28% at constant currencies). Currentcloud backlog growth declined by one percentage point at constant currencies as compared to the first quarter of 2025. Around 50% ofour cloud order entry volume in the first half of 2025 included SAP Business AI.

 

Ouroperating expenses (IFRS) decreased 17% to €13,251 million (first half of 2024: €15,894 million), primarilydue to lower restructuring expenses and decreased share-based payment expenses. Operating expenses (non-IFRS) increased 1% to €13,016 million(first half of 2024: €12,855 million) at a slower pace compared to revenue growth.

 

Share-basedpayment expenses decreased to €949 million (first half of 2024: €1,280 million), mainly due to a lower increasein the SAP share price as compared to the first half of 2024 (around €22 in the first half of 2025; around €50 in the firsthalf of 2024) as well as lower grant volumes as compared to prior years. Income for the hedging of cash-settled share-based compensationprograms amounted to €30 million in the first half of 2025 (first half of 2024: €0 million). For more informationabout share-based payment expenses, see the Notes to the Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements, Note (B.3).

 

Therestructuring expenses decreased to €18 million (first half of 2024: €2,873 million), mainly due to SAP’stransformation program which was initiated in 2024 and concluded at the beginning of 2025. For more information about restructuring,see the Notes to the Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements, Note (B.4).

 

Comparedwith the same period in the previous year, our operating profit (IFRS) increased €4,355 million to €4,789 million(first half of 2023: €434 million), an increase of more than 100% mainly driven by the lower restructuring expenses.

 

Thedescribed effects also apply to our non IFRS operating profit, except for the restructuring expenses.

 

ProfitAfter Tax and Earnings per Share (IFRS and Non-IFRS)

 

Profitafter tax (IFRS) increased to €3,545 million (first half of 2024: €94 million). Profit after tax (non-IFRS)increased 54% to €3,428 million (first half of 2024: €2,223 million). For profit after tax (IFRS and non-IFRS),decreased interest income, net in the amount of –€50 million (first half of 2024: €66 million) was slightlyoffset by foreign currency gains of €20 million (first half of 2024: –€121 million). In addition, profit aftertax (IFRS) was positively impacted by gains from equity securities amounting to €299 million (first half of 2024: €125 million).

 

Basicearnings per share (IFRS) increased to €2.98 (first half of 2024: €0.05). Basic earnings per share (non-IFRS) increased54% to €2.94 (first half of 2024: €1.91).

 

Theeffective tax rate (IFRS) was 28.7% (first half of 2024: 76.9%) and the effective tax rate (non-IFRS) was 30.1% (first half of 2024: 33.1%).Both were mainly driven by a temporary inability to offset withholding taxes in Germany due to carryforward of tax losses from prioryear. The IFRS effective tax rate is lower than the non-IFRS effective tax rate due to tax benefits from tax-exempt income.

Inthe first half of 2025, the Applications, Technology & Support segment significantly increased its cloud revenue by 25% (27%at constant currencies), driven by a strong performance of Cloud ERP Suite. At the same time, the cost of cloud increased moderatelyby 15% (17% at constant currencies).

 

Softwaresupport revenue decreased 4% (3% at constant currencies) to €5,403 million (first half of 2024: €5,621 million)and software licenses revenue decreased 13% (12% at constant currencies) to €377 million (first half of 2024: €432 million)as more of our existing customers chose our cloud offerings. Consequently, the Applications, Technology & Services segment declined4% (4% at constant currencies), achieving a total software licenses and support revenue of €5,780 million (first half of 2024: €6,052 million).

 

Assuch, the total segment revenue increased 12% (13% at constant currencies) compared to the prior year, to €16,054 million (firsthalf of 2024: €14,343 million). The total segment cost of revenue grew 9% (11% at constant currencies), mainly drivenby an increase in cost of cloud, but at slower pace than total segment revenue growth. Other segment expenses decreased slightly by 1%(grew 1% at constant currencies) and ended the first half of 2025 at €6,432 million (first half of 2024: €6,478 million).

 

Asa result, segment profit increased 30% (31% at constant currencies), from €4,963 million in the first half of 2024, to €6,456 million.

TheCore Services segment, which supports SAP’s product portfolio by enabling customers to transform their business and acceleratethe adoption of innovations, closed the first half of 2025 with a stable segment services revenue (grew slightly by 1% at constant currencies).

 

Whilethe segment cost of services slightly decreased 2% (1% at constant currencies) during the first half of 2025, the other segment expensesdeclined 10% (9% at constant currencies).

 

Overall,the Core Services segment profit increased 40% (36% at constant currencies) to €206 million in the first half of 2025 (firsthalf of 2024: €147 million). This increase was primarily attributable to the positive cost development of SAP’sconsulting and premium engagement business. The efficiencies were predominantly driven by the restructuring program that was initiatedin 2024 and concluded at the beginning of 2025, which led to a more favorable delivery mix.

RiskManagement and Risks

 

Wehave comprehensive risk-management structures in place that are intended to enable us to recognize and analyze risks early on, take theappropriate action, and mitigate any risks that materialize as presented in the Risk Managementand Risks section in our Integrated Report 2024 and our Annual Report on Form 20-F for 2024.

 

Forchanges in our Litigation, Claims, and Legal Contingencies since our last Integrated Report, see the Notes to the Consolidated Half-YearFinancial Statements, Note (G.1).

 

Basedon our aggregation approach and taking into consideration the mitigations implemented for all our risk factors and risks, as at June 30, 2025,we see no material change relative to our 2024 risk assessment or 2024 risk-bearing capacity. We continue to monitor developments acrossall risk-relevant topics, including but not limited to geopolitical conflicts, trade tensions, the upcoming EU Data Act, potential changesin tax laws and regulations, and cybersecurity. We do not believe that any of the risks we identified in our Integrated Report 2024and Annual Report on Form 20-F for 2024, and as outlined herein, jeopardize our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

ExpectedDevelopments and Opportunities

 

FutureTrends in the Global Economy

 

Consideringthe global economic development, geopolitical tensions such as those currently in Ukraine and the Middle East will remain a major sourceof uncertainty, states the European Central Bank (ECB) in its most recent Economic Bulletin.1 Higher U.S. tariffs and elevatedtrade conflicts could additionally shape the global economic outlook and point to a moderate decline at subdued levels of global economicactivity. According to the ECB, this deteriorative growth outlook applies across all key economies, but most notably in the United Statesand China. The ECB projects global growth to slow below its pre-pandemic average within the projection horizon.

 

Inthe EMEA region, the ECB expects marginal growth in real GDP in the euro area for the remainder of the year and thereafter. Global uncertaintysurrounding trade tensions is likely to weigh on euro-area business investments and exports, especially in the short term. However, risinggovernment investment in defense and infrastructure, mainly in Germany, might bolster euro area domestic demand from 2026 onwards. Coupledwith more favorable financing conditions, this could make the euro area economy more resilient to global shocks. Therefore, towards theend of the projection horizon, the ECB expects an increase in real wages and employment, less restrictive financing conditions, and arebound in foreign demand which could support a gradual recovery. However, mounting protectionism and trade-distorting measures mightdisproportionately affect the manufacturing sector in comparison to the services sector.

 

Concerningthe Americas region, the ECB forecasts deteriorating growth in the United States, with U.S. domestic demand expected to slow down asthe impacts of tariffs take hold and increase the cost of imported intermediate and final goods. This development could reduce tradeflows and increase production costs, which would consequently spill over to domestic prices.

 

Asfor the APJ region, the ECB expects high U.S. tariffs and adjustments in the Chinese real estate sector to further weigh on the region’seconomic activity in the years ahead. Continued weak domestic demand and industrial overcapacity in China will probably lead to exportprice inflation in the coming years.

 

TheIT Market – Outlook for 2025 and Beyond

 

Lookingahead, technology continues to emerge as a key macroeconomic driver. International Data Corporation (IDC) forecasts that “despitethe highly dynamic and unpredictable geopolitical landscape, IT spending continues to rise, and […] AI is propelling theIT market’s growth, with its global economic impact projected to reach a staggering $22 trillion by 2030.”2

 

Theshift to intelligent systems is not only changing the IT market, but is influencing how economies adapt, invest, and scale in the digitalage. Enterprise IT is entering a period of accelerated change,

 

 12/51

 

 

  SAP Half-Year Report 2025

 

underpinnedby advances in AI automation and by data-centric architectures. Even the European Central Bank (ECB) notes that, despite broader economicuncertainty, digital investment in areas such as IT and software remains a priority for firms, driven by the imperative to enhance productivityand resilience. In addition, business investment is expected to remain resilient, particularly in knowledge-intensive sectors that benefitfrom automation and innovation.1

 

Accordingto IDC, the next wave of enterprise applications will be increasingly infused with embedded intelligence, enabling faster decisions,fewer process steps, and improved outcomes. “Generative AI (GenAI) is poised to revolutionize enterprise applications by incorporatingmodel-driven analytics for faster decision-making and creating dynamic, personalized content for superior user engagement.”3These AI-infused applications function as assistants, advisors, and agents embedded directly in enterprise workflows. By removing frictionand streamlining decision velocity, they enable employees to focus on higher-value tasks and accelerate time-to-insight across businessprocesses.

 

However, IDCnotes that adoption also comes with new requirements. To deliver measurable ROI, organizations must reassess KPIs and baseline processesbefore and after implementation. “AI-infused enterprise applications will have a huge impact on the overall financial metrics withinthe organization as the processes and associated tasks become shorter and even autonomous, such that the metrics employed across theorganization will either change or cease to exist”,3 states IDC.

Impacton SAP

 

Thenumber of macro challenges has continued to persist in 2025, making agility and resiliency in the business model a key component forSAP and its customers. Ongoing geopolitical conflicts pose real threats to supply chains, and trade tensions between major economiesput additional pressure on companies and contributed to elongated sales cycles in sectors such as the US public sector and industrialmanufacturing. It remains uncertain whether these effects can rebound within the second half of the year or persist. A primary focusduring the second half of the year will be the resolution of outstanding business opportunities.

 

Nevertheless,SAP reported very strong business results in the first six months of the year and its 2025 outlook remains unchanged.

 

Ourclear strategy toward the cloud and Business AI, anchored by SAP Business Data Cloud (SAP BDC), gained strong momentum in the first halfof 2025 across our entire portfolio. This direction resonates with robust customer demand, as reflected in the exceptional receptionof the SAP BDC. Within just a few months of its launch, the pipeline for SAP BDC has grown rapidly, and customer feedback has been trulyoutstanding. As we focus on tangible and applicable use cases for our customers, enabling them to differentiate and gain competitiveadvantage, SAP positions itself as trusted advisor and vendor of choice. This strategy is further reinforced by SAP’s flywheelof applications, data, and AI that help drive faster outcomes and greater business value.

 

TheCompany-wide transformation program, which includes the internal rollout of Business AI, that we initiated in 2024 and concluded in thebeginning of 2025 enhances our operational efficiencies and lays the groundwork for future growth and agility.

 

FinancialTargets and Prospects (Non-IFRS)

 

Revenueand Operating Profit Targets and Prospects

 

Whilethe prevailing dynamic environment implies elevated levels of uncertainty and reduced visibility, SAP currently continues to expect::

 

€21.6 billion to €21.9 billion in cloud revenue at constant currencies (2024: €17.14 billion), up 26% to 28% at constant currencies

 

 13/51

 

 

  SAP Half-Year Report 2025

 

€33.1 billion to €33.6 billion in cloud and software revenue at constant currencies (2024: €29.83 billion), up 11% to 13% at constant currencies

 

€10.3 billion to €10.6 billion non-IFRS operating profit at constant currencies (2024: €8.15 billion), up 26% to 30% at constant currencies

 

Free cash flow of approximately €8.0 billion (2024: €4.22 billion)

 

An effective tax rate (non-IFRS) of approximately 32% (2024: 32.3%)

 

Current Cloud Backlog growth at constant currencies (2024: 29%) to slightly decelerate

 

Additionally,SAP anticipates for 2025:

 

Total revenue growth at constant currencies (2024: 10%) to slightly accelerate

 

A slight increase in segment revenue (2024: €3.93 billion) for the Core Services segment

 

Segment profit to increase in all our reportable segments

 

Expenses for share-based payments to decrease to around €2 billion (2024: €2.38 billion)

 

Beyond2025, SAP expects:

 

Total revenue growth to accelerate through 2027, driven by growth in cloud revenue and primarily Cloud ERP Suite 

 

Total operating expenses to grow at 80% to 90% of total revenue growth through 2027, supported by slightly declining sales and marketing, research and development, and general and administration expense ratios. These improvements include efficiency gains from the internal deployment of SAP’s AI solutions.

 

Software support revenue to decrease over the coming years

 

WhileSAP’s 2025 financial outlook for the income statement parameters is at constant currencies (including an average exchange rateof 1.08 USD per EUR), actual currency reported figures are expected to be impacted by currency exchange rate fluctuations as the companyprogresses through the year, as reflected in the table below:

fromthe sale of intangible assets and property, plant, and equipment, and expenditures for leasing of €1.0 billion (2024: €1.0 billion).

 

 

Goalsfor Liquidity, Finance, and Investments

 

SAPbelieves that its liquid assets combined with its undrawn credit facilities are sufficient to meet its operating financing needs in thesecond half of 2025 as well, and, together with expected cash flows from operations, will support debt repayments and its currently plannedcapital expenditure requirements over the near and medium term.

 

In2025 and compared to 2024, SAP expects an increase in free cash flow to approximately €8.0 billion, mainly due to significantlylower restructuring and compliance payments, as well as further increased profitability and improvements in working capital.

 

Inthe second half of 2025, SAP currently intends to repay U.S. dollar bonds with a volume of $0.3 billion as well as bilateral termloans with a volume of €1.0 billion.

 

SAP’splanned investment expenditures for 2025 and 2026, other than from business combinations, consist primarily of the purchase of IT infrastructure(such as data centers) and construction activities. SAP still expects capital expenditures of around €800 million for 2025,in line with the approximately €800 million disclosed in our Integrated Report 2024. In 2026, capital expenditures areexpected to increase to approximately €1,000 million due to increased investment in cloud capacity.

 

Non-FinancialGoals 2025

 

Inaddition to our financial goals, we focus on four non-financial targets: customer loyalty, employee engagement, Net Zero climate performance,and Business Health Culture Index.

 

For2025, SAP continues to expect:

 

A Customer Net Promoter Score of 12 to 16

 

The Employee Engagement Index to be in a range of 74% to 78%

 

To steadily decrease carbon emissions across the relevant value chain

 

The Business Health Culture Index to be in a range of 80% to 82%

 

Premiseson Which Our Outlook and Prospects Are Based

 

Inpreparing our outlook and prospects, we have taken into account all events known to us at the time we prepared this report that couldinfluence SAP’s business going forward.

 

Opportunities

 

Wehave comprehensive opportunity-management structures in place that are intended to enable us to recognize and analyze opportunities earlyand to take the appropriate action. The opportunities remain largely unchanged compared to what we disclosed in our IntegratedReport 2024.

SustainabilityInformation

 

 

Inthe first half of 2025, we maintained our commitment to help rebuild a more resilient, restorative, and inclusive economy while respectingplanetary boundaries – both as an enabler and exemplar. SAP aims to put sustainability at the core of every business. To help ourcustomers on their sustainability journey, we offer an expanded portfolio of solutions for sustainability management.

 

ClimateChange

 

Ournet-zero commitment remains the cornerstone of our climate change mitigation. Under this commitment, we aim to reduce our gross greenhousegas (GHG) emissions (market-based) by at least 90% across the relevant value chain by 2030. The net-zero target has been validated andapproved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which also verified that SAP’s target is compatible with limiting globalwarming to 1.5°C as advocated by the Paris Agreement.

 

Weacknowledge the recent reports issued by various companies, including some of our vendors, in which they state that they are reconsideringor adjusting their net-zero targets. In light of these developments, and given the increasing demand for energy due to the widening useof artificial intelligence, we continue to closely monitor our progress and evaluate whether we can achieve our net-zero target by 2030as planned or if we might need to adjust it.

 

Also,we are constantly investigating how to improve our GHG emission calculations, especially in the upstream and downstream emission categories,which are the biggest contributors to our overall carbon footprint.

 

Inthe first half of 2025, SAP’s GHG emissions (market-based) totaled 3.2 million tons of CO2e, marking a reductionof 0.4 million tons of CO2e compared to the same period in 2024. This reflects a drop of 10% and underscores our commitmentto ongoing mitigation and reduction efforts through numerous strategic initiatives in our own operations and in the value chain.

 

SAP’sdecarbonization and transformation plan focuses on four main areas: cloud transformation, upstream supply chain, own operations, andcarbon removals. In the first half of 2025, SAP took an important step forward in building a diverse carbon removal portfolio, by makingits first investment in innovative technical solutions for carbon dioxide removals. The resulting credits will be held in reserve toneutralize residual emissions – up to 10% – in SAP’s net-zero target year 2030, in line with SBTi guidance.

 

OwnWorkforce

 

Establishedin 2024, the People Agenda is a holistic system in which people, organizational, and technological development are interconnected. Itcomprises the following three key strategic pillars, built on the strong foundation of our people-centric work environment, that togethermake up our People Agenda:

 

Our growth culture, which guides how we work at SAP and how we address the market and customers. It increases our capacity for change, drives efficiency, and ensures accountability, and thus helps us deliver high-performance results for our customers and markets. The growth culture framework is the basis for organizational and cultural development at SAP.

 

Our skills-led people ecosystem is the talent engine for SAP, driven by future-relevant skills at every stage of the employee lifecycle to enhance people employability, internal talent mobility, and external talent attraction.

 

Our game-changing technology, which harnesses SAP’s own technological capabilities.

 

GrowthCulture

 

Ourgrowth culture influences how we hire, lead, develop, and deliver at every level. Our four growth behaviors and threeleadership promises make this vision tangible: We win as one, we take charge,

 

 16/51

 

 

  SAP Half-Year Report 2025

 

weact with transparency, and we embrace curiosity. These behaviors, and the detailed actions outlining the desired behaviors for everyoneat SAP, are essential in making us fast, resilient, and future-ready. Our growth culture serves as the foundation for the execution ofour strategy and for everything we do. In addition to the four growth behaviors, we have focused our expectations on leaders throughthree redefined leadership promises, guiding how we lead at SAP: Develop people. Drive transformation. Deliver results.

 

Tosupport this evolution, we are implementing an execution architecture that enables scale, speed, and adaptability. We have created leadershiptransformation journeys to enable the role-modelling of new growth behaviors and leadership promises especially for our senior leaders.We have also established a network of trained change agents that spans all regions and functions. Our regular Growth Summits and growthculture activations reach into the business to ensure alignment. In addition, we focus on skill-infused strategic workforce managementto make the right “buy, build, borrow, or break” decisions. This includes, but is not limited to, further transforming ourworkforce through reskilling, reductions in areas with lower resource demand and hiring new job profiles e.g. in areas such as data andBusiness AI, as a continuous process. Lastly, the implementation of our new performance management, leadership development, and successionframeworks systemically enforce accountability and growth behaviors.

 

PerformanceManagement

 

Inearly 2025, SAP achieved another key milestone driving a high-performing culture: our globally harmonized Performance Management approachredefines how we manage performance and foster continuous growth, alignment with strategic priorities, and clarity at every level ofthe organization.

 

AtSAP, we believe that people perform at their best when expectations are clear. Feedback and embracing curiosity empower individuals tostay focused, grow with purpose, and contribute meaningfully to our shared success. Our new Performance Management framework is anchoredin three core principles: clear goals, meaningful dialogue, and impactful outcomes. Regular, ongoing conversations between managersand employees throughout the year build trust, support development, and create strong links between individual contributions and strategicobjectives.

 

Tosupport this shift and ensure proper enablement, we conduct mandatory training courses for our more than 9,000 leaders globally, includinginteractive learning sessions, global events, and targeted discussions. Our new Performance Management approach will not only strengthenSAP’s high-performance culture but also empower every employee to bring their best.

 

Skills-LedPeople Ecosystem

 

AsSAP navigates a rapidly changing technology landscape and fierce competition for talent, we see the need to transform to a skills-ledpeople ecosystem in which skills fuel growth, innovation, and opportunities for our people andour business.

 

Wehave already made significant progress by building the foundation to ensure every employee has a future-proof role with clear skillsexpectations. To do this, we streamlined our skills taxonomyand reviewed all skills against market standards and modernized the role profiles to reflect these skills. We will complete the reassignmentof all employees to these modernized profiles by early 2026. In addition, we are leveraging SAP’s human capital management (HCM)solutions such as the Growth Portfolio in SuccessFactors Talent Intelligence Hub to capture, curate, and use real-time skills data. Weare live with the AI-enabled HCM platform for a pilot group of employees and plan to roll it out in a phased approach to the entire workforceby 2026.

 

Havinga skills-led people ecosystem will enhance every stage of the employee experience, from how we plan workforce strategies, to how we attracttalent and develop our people. Our action plan includes several pilot use cases that infuse skills data along the employee lifecycle.We plan to launch the first use case of AI-driven, skills-based learning by the first half of 2026.

 

Inclusionand Equal Opportunities

 

AtSAP, we celebrate inclusion, equal opportunity, and a diverse workforce of over 150 nationalities across four generations. We pride ourselveson fostering a vibrant culture that empowers everyone to be their authentic selves. Our commitment is reflected in the active participationof more than 30,000

 

 17/51

 

 

  SAP Half-Year Report 2025

 

colleaguesin 13 global Employee Network Groups, promoting connection, advocacy, and innovation worldwide. By blending a strong skills foundationwith cutting-edge technology, we are dedicated to offering personalized growth opportunities, ensuring a future-ready organization thatthrives on change. Inclusion and visionary leadership are at the heart of everything we do.

 

Beinga global company, we are also responding to external changes as we evolve, such as recent legal developments in the United States.

 

Wehave adapted our inclusion and equal opportunity activities as follows:

 

We replaced the ‘Women in Executive Roles’ KPI as part of the long-term-incentive plan for the Executive Board with the ‘Business Health Culture Index’ – a more holistic view of the full employee experience at SAP, measuring how effectively we foster engagement, promote health, ensure equal opportunity for all, and support long-term employability. For more information, see the Performance Management System section.

 

Going forward, we will continue to track the global ‘Women in Executive Roles’ KPI on the two levels below the Executive Board instead of three. In compliance with U.S. law, employees based in the United States will no longer be included in this metric.

 

We will introduce a differentiated measurement at a local level, replacing our voluntary global goal of 40% for ‘Women in the Workforce.’

 

People-RelatedKPIs

 

Lookingat our people-related KPIs, the Employee Engagement Index reached 78%, an increase of 2ppcompared to the score of 76% from the survey of November 2024,and an increase of 4pp compared to the full-year scoreof 74% published in our Integrated Report 2024. The Business Health Culture Index was strong at 81%, anincrease of 1pp, and is at the mid-point ofthe target corridor of 80% to 82%. At the end of the first half of 2025, SAP’s TurnoverRate1 was still low at 8.2% (compared to 7.3% at the end of the first half of2024 and 7.8% at the end of 2024). On June 30, 2025, we had 108,929 FTEs worldwide (June 30, 2024: 105,315 FTEs;December 31, 2024: 109,121 FTEs). For a breakdown of headcount by function and geography, see the Notes to the ConsolidatedHalf-Year Financial Statements, Note (B.1).

 

InJanuary 2024, SAP announced a company-wide restructuring program, which concluded as planned in the first quarter of 2025. For moreinformation about the impact of the program, see Note (B.4).

 

Theoverall rate of terminations, that is, employees leaving SAP (excluding internal transfers) or any of our fully integrated acquisitions.It applies to headcount-relevant employees only and is calculated based on FTE numbers.

GeneralInformation About Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements

 

The registeredseat of SAP SE is in Walldorf, Germany (Commercial Register of the Lower Court of Mannheim HRB 719915). The condensed ConsolidatedHalf-Year Financial Statements of SAP SE and its subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “us,” “our,” “SAP,” “Group,” and “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the International FinancialReporting Standards (IFRS) and in particular in compliance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34. In this context, IFRSincludes all standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and related interpretations issued by the IFRS InterpretationsCommittee (IFRS IC). The variances between the applicable IFRS standards as issued by the IASB and the standards as used by theEuropean Union are not relevant to these financial statements.

 

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

 

With theongoing transformation from on-premise to cloud services, our revenues are no longer significantly influenced by seasonal effects. Consequently,interim results are now more indicative of our results for the full year, enabling more consistent financial planning and forecasting.

 

Our freecash flow, however, is historically highest in the first quarter.

 

Amountsreported in previous years have been reclassified if appropriate to conform to the presentation in this half-year report.

 

Theseunaudited condensed Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with SAP’s audited Consolidated IFRSFinancial Statements for the Year Ended December 31, 2024, included in our Integrated Report 2024 and our Annual Reporton Form 20-F for 2024.

 

Due torounding, numbers presented throughout these Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements may not add up precisely to the totals we provideand percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.

 

Amountsdisclosed in our Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements that are taken directly from our Consolidated Income Statements or our ConsolidatedStatements of Financial Position are marked by the symbols and , respectively.

 

As ofJanuary 2025, SAP decided to change the presentation of its consolidated statements of cash flows and no longer classifies interestpaid and interest received as a part of net cash flows from operating activities. Interest paid is now presented under net cash flowsfrom financing activities, and interest received is now presented under net cash flows from investing activities starting 2025. Thisnew strategy is more in sync with management’s approach to steering the Company.

HowWe Present Our Accounting Policies, Judgments, and Estimates

 

Toease the understanding of our financial statements, we present the accounting policies, judgments, and estimates on a given subject togetherwith other disclosures related to the same subject in the Note that deals with this subject, and highlighted this disclosure with a lightgray box and the symbol . We describe, however, onlymaterial changes of our accounting policies, judgments, and estimates in relation to our Consolidated Financial Statements for 2024.

 

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

 

TheIASB has issued various amendments to the IFRS standards (such as IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 (Amendments to the Classification, Measurement,and Disclosure of Financial Instruments) and IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 (Amendments to Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity))that are relevant for SAP but not yet effective. We are currently assessing the impact on SAP, but do not expect material effects onour financial position or profit after tax.

 

InApril 2024, the IASB released IFRS 18 (Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements). The new standard will substantiallyaffect the presentation of consolidated income statements and introduce additional disclosure requirements. The standard will becomeeffective on January 1, 2027. SAP is currently evaluating this standard and the impact it may have on SAP’s financialstatement disclosures.

The accelerated share-based payment expenses recognizedin the first half of 2025 mainly reflect adjustments of prior estimates. These share-based payment expenses are classified as restructuringexpenses in our consolidated income statements. Associated share-based payments in the first half of 2025 were €62 million(first half of 2024: €2 million).

businessAI. The restructuring program was set up to ensure that SAP’s skillset and resources continue to meet future business needs, andaffected around 10,000 positions, a majority of which have been covered by voluntary leave programs and internal re-skilling measures.The program concluded as planned at the beginning of 2025, with most of the employees leaving the Company in 2024 and throughout thefirst half of 2025.

 

Mostof the expenses related to the restructuring program were recognized in 2024. The €18 million in expenses presented in thefirst half of 2025 are mainly costs resulting from the revaluation and adjustments of provisions. Overall expenses associated with theprogram are approximately €3.2 billion, and mainly include employee-related benefits such as severance payments and acceleratedshare-based payment expenses related to the restructuring program. Restructuring payouts were €2.5 billion for the full year2024 and €0.6 billion for the first half of 2025. Approximately €0.2 billion is expected to be paid out in the remainderof 2025.

Section C – Financial Results

 

Thissection provides insight into the financial results of SAP’s reportable segments and of SAP overall, as far as not already coveredby previous sections. For more information, see our Consolidated Financial Statements for 2024, Section C – Financial Results.

 

(C.1)Results of Segments

 

GeneralInformation

 

Atyear end 2024, SAP had one operating segment. In the first half of 2025, the Services Sales function was moved from the Board area CustomerSuccess into the Board area Customer Success & Delivery, combining the sales and delivery function for services. Therefore,SAP revised its segment structure in the first quarter of 2025 and now has two operating segments: the Applications, Technology &Support (ATS) segment and the Core Services segment:

 

The ATS segment represents SAP’s cohesive product portfolio which is holistically steered and commercialized. It primarily generates revenue from cloud subscriptions and from the sale of software licenses and support offerings, and it incurs cost for customer support, operating our solutions, and the provision of infrastructure. The revenue and cost for services arise for SAP’s training business which is highly integrated with SAP’s product portfolio.

 

The Core Services segment supports SAP’s product portfolio by enabling customers to transform their business and accelerate the adoption of innovations. Revenues are mainly generated from professional consulting services and premium support services. Cost is incurred primarily for the delivery of those services. The Core Services segment does not reflect the full services business.

 

Thesegment information for comparative prior periods was restated to conform with the new segment composition.

 

  Segment Reporting Policies
   
  Our management reporting system produces reports that present information about our business activities in a variety of ways - for example, by line of business, geography, and areas of responsibility of individual Board members. Based on these reports, the Executive Board, which is responsible for assessing the performance of our Company and for making resource allocation decisions as our Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), evaluates business activities based on several different results.
   
  Our management reporting system produces a variety of reports that differ due to the currency exchange rates used in the accounting for foreign-currency transactions and operations, where both actual and constant currency numbers are reported to and used by our CODM. Reports based on actual currencies use the same currency rates that are used in our financial statements, whereas reports based on constant-currency use the average exchange rates from the previous year’s corresponding period.
   
  The segment structure is derived from the organizational structure, with parts of the organization engaging in diverse activities that incur expenses across different cost classifications.
   
  We use an operating profit indicator to measure the performance of our operating segments. The accounting policies applied in the measurement of operating segment expenses and profit differ as follows from the IFRS accounting principles used to determine the operating profit measure in our income statements:
   
  The segment expense measures exclude:
   
Acquisition-related charges such as amortization expense and impairment charges for intangibles acquired in business combinations, including goodwill impairment charges, and certain standalone acquisitions of intellectual property (including purchased in-process research and

 development) as well as settlements of pre-existing business relationships in connection with a business combination, and acquisition-related third-party expenses
   
Restructuring expenses
   
Regulatory compliance matter expenses
   
 SAP-headquarters functions that are managed exclusively on corporate level, such as finance, accounting, legal and compliance, human resources, global strategy and business operations, and corporate marketing, are not included in the results of our reportable segments.
  
 Information about assets and liabilities by segment as well as cashflow by segment is not regularly provided to our CODM.

(C.3) Financial Income, Net

 

In the first half of 2025, finance income mainly consisted ofgains from disposals and fair value adjustments of equity securities totaling €491 million (first half of 2024: €282 million),as well as interest income from loans and receivables, other financial assets (cash, cash equivalents, and current investments), andderivatives amounting to €226 million (first half of 2024: €327 million).

 

In the first half of 2025, finance costs were primarily impactedby losses from disposals and fair value adjustments of equity securities amounting to €192 million (first half of 2024: €159 million),by interest expense on financial liabilities including lease liabilities, and by negative effects from derivatives amounting to €276 million(first half of 2024: €260 million).

 

For more information about our financial income, net, see theNotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2024, Note (C.4).

 

(C.4) Income Taxes

 

We are subject to ongoing tax audits by domestic and foreign taxauthorities. In respect of income taxes, we are currently involved in various proceedings with foreign tax authorities mainly regardingthe deductibility of intercompany royalty payments, intercompany services, and other payments. In all cases, we expect that a favorableoutcome can only be achieved through litigation. For all of these matters, we have not recorded a provision as we believe that the taxauthorities’ claims have no merit and that no adjustment is warranted. If, contrary to our view, the tax authorities were to prevailin their arguments before the court, we would expect to have an additional expense of approximately €1,130 million (2024: €1,250 million)in total (including related interest expenses and penalties of €708 million (2024: €726 million)).

Additions in invested capital include separate asset acquisitions or business combinations.For more information, see our Consolidated Financial Statements for 2024, Section D –Invested Capital.

 

 

(D.1)Goodwill

 

In the first half of 2025, the Company underwent a change in itssegment structure. Starting in the first quarter of 2025, the Company has two operating segments and monitors its goodwill at this level.For more information, see Note (C.1). The decrease in goodwill of €2,706 millionsince December 31, 2024, was mainly due to the revaluation of amounts denominated in foreign currencies. The Company evaluateson an ongoing basis whether there are triggering events that would require an impairment test for goodwill through both qualitative andquantitative analyses. Our assessment of internal and external factors in the first half of 2025, including the change in segment structureand reorganizations which have no adverse effect, led us to conclude that no triggering events occurred since our annual goodwill impairmenttest in 2024. No impairment tests were performed in the first half of 2025.

For more information, particularly aboutour risk management related to foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, equity price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk,and other financial risk factors, see our Consolidated Financial Statements for 2024, Section F – Risk Management and Fair Value Disclosures.

 

(F.1) Financial Risk Factors, Financial Risk Management,and Fair Value Disclosures on Financial Instruments

 

A detailed overview of our other financial instruments, financialrisk factors, the management of financial risks, and the determination of fair value as well as the classification of our other financialinstruments into the fair value hierarchy of IFRS 13 are presented in Notes (F.1)and (F.2) in the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2024.

 

We do not disclose the fair value of our financial instrumentsas at June 30, 2025, for the following reasons:

 

For a large number of our financial instruments, their carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of their fair values, and

 

For those financial instruments where the carrying amount differs from fair value, there was no material change in the relation between carrying amount and fair value since December 31, 2024.

 

 

In the first half of 2025, SAP initiated a hedging strategy forits cash-settled share-based compensation programs to mitigate exposure to fluctuations in stock prices by applying hedge accounting.SAP entered into two equity swaps hedging the risk related to 1.4 million Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), with the total notionalamount of the hedge transactions amounting to €321 million. As a result of the hedge, in the first half of 2025 we recognized €30 million in operating income, offsetting the expenses for share-based compensation.

Section G – Other Disclosures

 

This section provides additional disclosures on miscellaneoustopics, including information pertaining to other litigation, claims, and legal contingencies, and related party transactions. For moreinformation, see our Consolidated Financial Statements for 2024, Section G – OtherDisclosures.

 

(G.1) Other Litigation, Claims, and Legal Contingencies

 

We are subject to a variety of claims and lawsuits that arisefrom time to time in the ordinary course of our business, including proceedings and claims that relate to companies we have acquired.We will continue to vigorously defend against all claims and lawsuits against us. We currently believe that resolving the claims andlawsuits pending as at June 30, 2025, will neither individually nor in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on ourbusiness.

 

Among the claims and lawsuits are the following classes (formore information about these classes, see the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2024, Note (G.3)).

 

Intellectual-Property-Related Litigation and Claims

 

The provisions recorded for intellectual-property-related litigationand claims as at June 30, 2025, continue to be not material.

 

Contingent liabilities exist from intellectual-property-relatedlitigation and claims for which no provision has been recognized. Generally, it is not practicable to estimate the financial impact ofthese contingent liabilities due to the uncertainties around the litigation and claims (for more information, see the Notes to the ConsolidatedFinancial Statements for 2024, Note (G.3)). Based on our past experience,most of the intellectual-property-related litigation and claims tend to be either dismissed in court or settled out of court for amountssignificantly below the originally claimed amounts. We currently believe that resolving the intellectual-property-related claims andlawsuits pending as at June 30, 2025, will neither individually nor in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on ourbusiness, financial position, profit, or cash flows.

 

Individual cases of intellectual-property-related litigation andclaims include the following:

 

In June 2018, Teradata Corporation, Teradata US, Inc.,and Teradata Operations, Inc. (collectively “Teradata”) filed a civil lawsuit against SAP SE, SAP America, Inc.,and SAP Labs, LLC in U.S. federal court in California. Teradata alleged that SAP had misappropriated trade secrets of Teradata,had infringed Teradata’s copyrights (this claim was subsequently withdrawn by Teradata), and had violated U.S. antitrust laws.Teradata sought unspecified monetary damages and injunctive relief. In 2019, SAP asserted patent infringement counterclaims against Teradataseeking monetary damages and injunctive relief. In 2020, Teradata initiated a second civil lawsuit against SAP asserting patent infringement,seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief; in February 2021, SAP filed patent infringement counterclaims against Teradata inthis second U.S. lawsuit and a civil lawsuit against Teradata in Germany asserting patent infringement, seeking monetary damages andinjunctive relief. All claims between the parties were dismissed in November 2021 after the district court issued a summary judgmentdecision in SAP’s favor on Teradata’s antitrust and trade secret claims. Teradata appealed the district court’s summaryjudgment decision. In December 2024, the U.S. Appeals Court granted Teradata’s appeal and ordered that the case be returnedto the district court for further proceedings, including trial on Teradata’s antitrust and trade secret claims. During the firsthalf of 2025, the case was set for trial in April 2026.

 

In 2023 and 2024, Celonis SE (together with its subsidiaryCelonis USA, Inc., “Celonis”) sent letters to SAP setting out various concerns and allegations. In early 2025, SAP fileda negative declaratory judgment action in Germany denying Celonis’ allegations. To our knowledge, no counterclaims or claims fordamages have been filed by Celonis against SAP or served on SAP in any German proceeding. In March 2025, Celonis filed a lawsuitin U.S. federal court in California, alleging that SAP had violated U.S. antitrust and competition laws relating to SAP’s saleof products from its subsidiary

Signavio,and communications to SAP customers and the market concerning SAP’s policies for data access. Celonis sought a preliminary injunctionagainst SAP seeking to require SAP to allow Celonis to continue to use its data extraction tool, and requiring SAP to retract or correctthe alleged misstatements. The parties reached an agreement on June 5, 2025, whereby Celonis withdrew its request for a preliminaryinjunction. In addition, on June 30, 2025, the court dismissed the majority of Celonis’ claims with leave to amend. Theonly claim the court has allowed to proceed at this time is Celonis’ claim for tortious interference with contracts. Celonis hasasserted that it will seek damages from SAP based on its various claims but, to this point, has not stated any specific amount of allegeddamages or explained the nature of its damages claims in detail.

 

 

Tax-RelatedLitigation

 

We aresubject to ongoing audits by domestic and foreign tax authorities. In respect of non-income taxes, we are involved in various proceedingswith foreign tax authorities mainly regarding assessments and litigation matters on intercompany royalty payments and intercompany services.The potential amount in dispute related to these matters for all applicable years is approximately €335 million (2024: €274 million)in total (including related interest expenses and penalties of €192 million (2024: €150 million)). We have notrecorded a provision for these matters, as we believe that we will prevail.

 

For moreinformation about our income tax-related litigation, see Note (C.4).

 

Anti-BriberyMatters

 

Therehave been no significant changes related to anti-bribery matters in the first half of 2025.

 

For moreinformation, see the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2024, Note (G.3).

(G.3)Events After the Reporting Period

 

On July 11, 2025,the German law for an immediate tax investment program to strengthen Germany as a business location was substantively enacted. EffectiveJanuary 1, 2028, the corporate tax rate in Germany will be reduced from 15% to 10% in annual increments of 1%. This decreasedoes not affect the amounts of current and deferred taxes recognized as of June 30, 2025. SAP is currently evaluating the accountingtreatment and the impact of this decrease on its income taxes.
