Quarterly Statement Q2 2024

 

Walldorf, Germany – July 22, 2024
SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) announced today its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

 

Christian Klein, CEO: 

Our cloud growth momentum remained strong in Q2, with Business AI enabling many deals. We continue to execute on our transformation with great discipline, leading to an increase in our operating profit ambition for 2025. At the same time, we continue to invest into our transformation to be the leader in Business AI. Given our progress and strong pipeline, we are confident to achieve accelerating topline growth through 2027. 

 

Dominik Asam, CFO: 

We are staying squarely focused on delivering our outlook for this year. Our current cloud backlog growth during the second half of 2024, and especially in Q4 will be decisive to lay a solid foundation for our cloud revenue ambition for 2025. At the same time, we’ll continue to execute against our transformation plan to achieve our 2025 free cash flow ambition despite a mid-triple-digit million cash out for restructuring spilling into next year.

Financial Highlights1

 

Second Quarter 2024

 

In the second quarter, SAP’s strong cloud momentum continued. Current cloud backlog grew by 28% to €14.81 billion and again was up 28% at constant currencies. Cloud revenue was up 25% to €4.15 billion and up 25% at constant currencies, mainly driven by Cloud ERP Suite revenue, which was up 33% to €3.41 billion and up 33% at constant currencies.

 

Software licenses revenue decreased by 28% to €0.2 billion and was down 27% at constant currencies. Cloud and software revenue was up 10% to €7.17 billion and up 10% at constant currencies. Services revenue was up 6% to €1.11 billion and up 6% at constant currencies. Total revenue was up 10% to €8.29 billion and up 10% at constant currencies.

 

The share of more predictable revenue increased by 2 percentage points to 84% in the second quarter.

 

Cloud gross profit was up 29% (IFRS) to €3.03 billion, up 28% to €3.04 billion (non-IFRS), and up 29% (non-IFRS at constant currencies).

 

IFRS operating profit in the second quarter was down 11% to €1.22 billion. The decrease was driven by restructuring expenses of €0.6 billion associated with the 2024 transformation program. Non-IFRS operating profit was up 33% to €1.94 billion and was up 35% at constant currencies. Non-IFRS operating profit growth was supported by strong revenue growth as well as disciplined execution of the 2024 transformation program.

 3/27

 

Quarterly Statement Q2 2024

 

IFRS earnings per share (basic) increased 22% to €0.76. Non-IFRS earnings per share (basic) increased 59% to €1.10. The effective tax rate (IFRS) was 33.8% (Q2/2023: 33.8%) and the effective tax rate (non-IFRS) was 33.6% (Q2/2023: 33.0%). For non-IFRS, the year-over-year increase mainly resulted from a temporary inability to offset withholding taxes in Germany due to tax losses in 2024 resulting from restructuring. For IFRS, the negative effects from withholding taxes were compensated mainly by changes in tax-exempt income and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets.

 

Free cash flow in the second quarter increased by 114% to €1.3 billion. While around €0.5 billion was paid out for restructuring, the positive development was primarily attributable to increased profitability and enhanced working capital management. For the first six months, free cash flow was up 48% to €3.8 billion.

 

Share Repurchase Program

 

In May 2023, SAP announced a share repurchase program with an aggregate volume of up to €5 billion and a term until December 31, 2025. As of June 30, 2024, SAP had repurchased 12,895,525 shares at an average price of €145.20 resulting in a purchased volume of approximately €1.87 billion under the program.

 

2024 Transformation Program: Focus on scalability of operations and key strategic growth areas

 

In 2024, SAP is further increasing its focus on key strategic growth areas, in particular business AI. It is transforming its operational setup to capture organizational synergies and AI-driven efficiencies, and to prepare the company for highly scalable future revenue growth.

 

To this end, as announced in January, SAP is executing a company-wide restructuring program which is anticipated to conclude in early 2025. The restructuring is intended to ensure that SAP’s skillset and resources continue to meet future business needs and is currently expected to affect 9,000 to 10,000 positions, a majority of which will be covered by voluntary leave programs and internal re-skilling measures. Reflecting re-investments into strategic growth areas, SAP still expects to exit 2024 at a headcount similar to year-end 2023.

 

In the second quarter, additional restructuring expenses of €0.6 billion were recorded, which mainly reflect the positive reception of the voluntary leave programs.

 

While restructuring expenses recorded in the first half of 2024 total €2.9 billion, the overall expenses associated with the program are now estimated to be approximately €3 billion.

 

Restructuring payouts in the second quarter and first half of 2024 amounted to €0.5 billion. Overall payouts associated with the program are currently expected at approximately €3 billion, of which a mid-triple-digit million amount is expected to occur in 2025.

2 The effective tax rate (non-IFRS) is a non-IFRS financial measure and is presented for supplemental informational purposes only.

These items cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts but could have a significant impact on our future effective tax rate (IFRS).

3 Our gross greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) – which cover scope 1, scope 2, and scope 3 (market based) – include the total lifecycle emissions resulting from the use of our on-premise software. A projection over the next 12 months amounts to 5.9 million tons CO2e. The calculation of use of sold products emissions is based on the number of active maintenance contracts at quarter end. Therefore, the emissions for individual quarters will not add up to the total sum of GHG emissions at year end.

Non-IFRS Numbers

 

 

 

(D)Basis of Non-IFRS Presentation

 

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

 

For a more detailed description of all of SAP’s non-IFRS measures and their limitations as well as SAP’s constant currency and free cash flow figures, see Explanation of Non-IFRS Measures.

(H)Segment Reporting

 

(H.1)Segment Policies and Segment Changes

 

In the first quarter of 2024, the non-reportable Business Network segment was dissolved and integrated into the Applications, Technology & Services segment.

 

Driven by SAP’s continuous transformation into a holistically steered cloud company by a cohesive product portfolio and commercialization of product bundles (such as RISE with SAP and GROW with SAP) as well as resulting changes in Executive Board responsibility in the second quarter of 2024 it was concluded that SAP’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) steers SAP on a consolidated basis. Consequently, with effect from the second quarter of 2024, SAP has a single operating segment.

 

For more information about SAP’s operating performance, see the Reconciliation from Non-IFRS Numbers to IFRS Numbers section.

 

For a more detailed description of SAP’s segment reporting, see Note (C.1) “Results of Segments” of our Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements 2024.

(K)Share-Based Payment

 

SAP’s share-based payment expenses included in our non-IFRS operating expenses break down as follows:

 

€ millions Q2 2024 Q1–Q2 2024 Q2 2023 Q1–Q2 2023
Cost of cloud –34 –73 –27 –47
Cost of software licenses and support –11 –22 –11 –20
Cost of services –89 –192 –107 –198
Research and development –191 –403 –202 –371

General and administration –48 –114 –36 –96
Share-based payment expenses –592 –1,280 –614 –1,167

 

Additionally in the second quarter of 2024, SAP recognized €107 million (Q2/2023: €0 million), and in the first half of 2024 €189 million (HY1/2023: €0 million), of accelerated share-based payment expenses triggered by the transformation program. These share-based payment expenses are classified as restructuring expenses in SAP’s consolidated income statements.
Associated share-based payments are classified as a decrease in provisions and other liabilities in SAP’s consolidated statements of cash flows. The payment amount in the first half of 2024 was immaterial.
