We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations, assumptions, and projections about future conditions and events. As a result, our forward-looking statements and information are subject to uncertainties and risks, many of which are beyond our control. If one or more of these uncertainties or risks materializes, or if managements underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results could differ materially from those described in or inferred from our forward-looking statements and information.

ECONOMY AND THE MARKET
Global Economic Trends
After a slow start to the year, the global economy has brightened since the second quarter of 2014. However, progress has been unsteady and showed variation across the regions, according to the most recent monthly report from the European Central Bank (ECB). The ECB reports that so far, the troubles in Ukraine have had little effect on the global economy.
In the Europe, Middle-East, and Africa (EMEA) region, euro area economic output grew moderately in the first three quarters of 2014. The economies of the largest Central and Eastern Europe countries have recovered since the beginning of the year, but growth there slowed towards the end of the reporting period, the ECB says.
In the Americas region, the U.S. economy gained new momentum starting in the second quarter after a subdued start to the year, the ECB reports. In contrast, economic growth in Latin America has weakened since the beginning of the year. In Brazil, among other reasons, decreasing investment spending had a negative impact on growth. Only Mexico showed accelerated growth since the first quarter, the ECB reports.
Economic trends in the Asia Pacific Japan (APJ) region were again mixed: In Japan, increased consumer spending in anticipation of rise in value-added tax led to a first-quarter peak in growth and subsequent significant deceleration, the ECB says. Economic growth in China, on the other hand, increased somewhat since the year began.
The IT Market
In the first three quarters, worldwide IT business growth again outpaced growth in the overall world economy, according to U.S. market research firm International Data Corporation (IDC). Software continued to lead IT spending, with companies investing primarily in the cloud, in Big Data, social, and mobile.
IT market growth across the regions was mixed. Notably, IT markets in the emerging economies have developed at different rates since the beginning of the year, although IDC says they grew more than the IT markets in the industrialized countries. IDC cites the troubles in Ukraine as a factor contributing to the uncertainty of IT markets in the emerging economies.
The market for IT in the EMEA region has been largely stable but has failed to keep pace with the expansion of the IT market globally. In Western Europe, IT investment increased modestly but more strongly than in the prior year, IDC reports.
The resurgent U.S. market drove growth in the Americas region, according to IDC, and IT market expansion was considerably stronger than overall market expansion in the region.
IT market growth, and particularly software and services segment growth, was much stronger in the AJP region than in the world as a whole. In Japan, IT spending growth was similar to that in the prior year while in China, IT spending grew more than in the prior year.
Impact on SAP
SAP had a solid performance in EMEA, despite uncertainties in the Ukraine and the Middle East. Non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue increased 8% (8% at constant currencies) with a strong performance in Germany in both software and cloud subscription revenue. Non-IFRS cloud subscriptions and support revenue in EMEA was a particular highlight, growing 59% (59% at constant currencies), showing exceptional cloud traction in Europe.
The Americas region saw a mixed performance in Latin America. Similar to other companies in the industry, SAP is seeing a more difficult macro and political environment in Latin America, in particular in Brazil and Argentina, combined with execution issues. Non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue in the Americas increased 5% (5% at constant currencies). Non-IFRS cloud subscriptions and support revenue grew by 34% (34% at constant currencies).
The APJ region had a strong performance with 10% growth in non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue (10% at constant currencies). Non-IFRS cloud subscriptions and support revenue grew by 57% (56% at constant currencies). SAP achieved a turnaround in its business in Japan with solid double-digit growth.
VISION, MISSION, AND STRATEGY
We did not change our vision, mission, or strategy in the first nine months of 2014. For a detailed description, see the 2013 Integrated Report and item 4 in the 2013 Annual Report on Form 20-F.

EMPLOYEES
Nothing has a greater impact on SAPs long-term success than the creativity, talent, and commitment of our people. Their ability to understand the needs of our customers and to innovate delivers sustainable value to our company, our customers, and society. Successful strategies to attract, retain, develop, and engage our employees, therefore, are critical to driving a culture of innovation, sustained 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 2014, the employee retention rate was 93.3% (compared to 93.6% in the second quarter of 2013). 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 SAPs 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 2014, 21.3% of all management positions at SAP were held by women, compared to 21.0% at the end of September 2013. SAP has set a long-term target to increase the share of women in management to 25% by the year 2017.
On September 30, 2014, we had 68,835 full-time equivalent (FTE) employees worldwide (September 30, 2013: 66,061; December 31, 2013: 66,572).
Those headcount numbers included 17,343 FTEs based in Germany (September 30, 2013: 16,934), and 13,395 FTEs based in the United States (September 30, 2013: 13,503).
ORGANIZATION AND CHANGES IN MANAGEMENT
For information about changes in the first half of 2014, see the half-year report 2014.
Effective July 1, 2014, Luka Mucic succeeded Werner Brandt as Chief Financial Officer, who withdrew, as planned, from the Executive Board.
8 | INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT |
REPORT ON ECONOMIC POSITION
We simplified the presentation of our software and software-related service revenue in our income statement starting with the first quarter of 2014 to express our focus on the combined power of our fast growing cloud business and our solid core business. With this modification, only the order and subtotals were changed; the content of line items remained unchanged.
Software and software-related service revenue now starts with the line item cloud subscriptions and support and is followed by line items software and support of our on-premise activities. The software and cloud subscriptions row was deleted and a new sum for software and support was added.
In the discussion of our assets, financial position, and operating results, the financial data presented for the first nine months of 2014 fully contains the revenue and expenses, assets, liabilities and cash flow from hybris. Fieldglass numbers are included in our consolidated financial statements since the May 2, 2014 acquisition date. hybris numbers are included on a pro rata basis in the prior-year amounts hybris was acquired on August 1, 2013.
Segment Information
In the first quarter of 2014, we took significant steps to drive forward our strategy and our ambition to become THE cloud company powered by SAP HANA. To execute this strategy, we merged certain areas of the company that performed similar tasks (for example, the on-premise sales forces with the cloud sales forces, and the on-premise support units with the cloud support units) to achieve a seamless organization of SAP.
Since this integration, our cloud-related activities are no longer dealt with by separate components in our Company. Our Executive Board assesses the financial performance of our Company on an integrated basis only. Consequently, with effect from the first quarter of 2014, SAP has one single operating segment.
For more information about the changes to our segment reporting, see the Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements section, Note (19).
Performance Against Our Outlook for 2014 (Non-IFRS)
In this section, all discussion of the first nine months contribution to target achievement is based exclusively on non-IFRS measures. However, in the following section, the discussion of results refers to IFRS figures only, so those figures are not expressly identified as IFRS figures.
Starting in the second quarter of 2014, we additionally adjust our non-IFRS operating expense by excluding the expenses resulting from the Versata litigation (for more information about this litigation, see the Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements section, Note (16)). Prior-year amounts have been adjusted accordingly. We exclude the Versata litigation expenses to provide additional insight into the comparability of our ongoing operating performance across periods and to continue the alignment of our non-IFRS measures with our internal performance measures.
We present, discuss, and explain the reconciliation from IFRS measures to non-IFRS measures in the Supplementary Financial Information (Unaudited) section.
Guidance for 2014 (Non-IFRS)
For our guidance based on non-IFRS numbers, see the Forecast for SAP passage in this interim management report.

Actual Performance in the Third Quarter of 2014 (Non-IFRS)
Our revenue from cloud subscriptions and support (non-IFRS) was 278 million (Q3 2013: 197 million), an increase of 41% (42% at constant currencies) compared to the same period in 2013. Our cloud subscriptions and support margin was down 11.1 percentage points to 60%. This decrease was primarily due to increasing expenses related to the ramp-up of the cloud business, with related investments, as well as additional personnel expenses to support the growth of our SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud offerings.
Deferred cloud subscriptions and support revenue (non-IFRS) was 498 million on September 30, 2014 (September 30, 2013: 382 million), an increase of 30%. On a constant currency basis, the increase was 22%.
Our annual cloud revenue run rate (non-IFRS) is 1,334 million. The annual revenue run rate is the total of third-quarter 2014 cloud subscription and support revenue (non-IFRS) (278 million) plus non-IFRS cloud-related professional services and other service revenue (55 million) multiplied by four. This definition has changed from the previous year.
Calculated cloud billings (non-IFRS) increased 51% year-over-year. On a constant currency basis, the increase was 27%. This is calculated as total of a periods cloud subscription and support revenue and of the respective periods change in the deferred cloud subscription and support revenue balance.
SAP continues to expand the worlds largest Web-based business trading community, with trailing twelve month spend volume on our Ariba network with close to US$600 billion (compared to the same period in 2013 at approximately US$500 billion).
In the third quarter of 2014, software and software-related service revenue (non-IFRS) was 3,601 million (Q3 2013: 3,363 million), an increase of 7%. On a constant currency basis, the increase was 7%. SAPs hybris omni-channel e-commerce platform in combination with Cloud for Sales had another quarter of triple-digit growth in software revenue and cloud subscriptions and support revenue (non-IFRS). In addition, the revenue share from more predictable cloud and support revenue (non-IFRS) increased to 62% (Q3 2013: 59%).
Non-IFRS total revenue in the same period was 4,256 million (Q3 2013: 4,057 million), an increase of 5%. On a constant currency basis, the increase was 5%.
Non-IFRS operating expense in the third quarter of 2014 was 2,901 million, an increase of 5% (Q3 2013: 2,761 million). On a constant currency basis, non-IFRS operating expense increased by 6%.

Actual Performance in the First Nine Months of 2014 (Non-IFRS)
In the first nine months of 2014, our revenue from cloud subscriptions and support (non-IFRS) was 741 million (first nine months of 2013: 547 million), an increase of 35% (40% at constant currencies) compared to the same period in 2013. Our cloud subscriptions and support margin was down 7.6 percentage points to 65%. This decrease was primarily due to increasing expenses related to the ramp-up of the cloud business, with related investments, as well as additional personnel expenses to support the growth of our SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud offerings.
In the first nine months of 2014, software and software-related service revenue (non-IFRS) was 10,139 million (first nine months of 2013: 9,647 million), an increase of 5%. On a constant currency basis, the increase was 8%.
Non-IFRS total revenue in the same period was 12,110 million (first nine months of 2013: 11,784 million), an increase of 3%. On a constant currency basis, the increase was 5%.
Our prior-year non-IFRS operating expense, operating profit, operating margin, and profit after tax have been adjusted for the Versata litigation expenses to comply with the modified set of non-IFRS adjustments.
Non-IFRS operating expense in the first nine months of 2014 was 8,600 million (first nine months of 2013: 8,400 million), an increase of 2%. On a constant currency basis, the increase was 5%.
Non-IFRS operating profit was 3,510 million (first nine months of 2013: 3,385 million), an increase of 4% (6% at constant currencies).
Non-IFRS operating margin in the first nine months of 2014 was 29.0%, an increase of 0.3 percentage points (first nine months of 2013: 28.7%). Non-IFRS operating margin on a constant currency basis was 28.8%, an increase of 0.1 percentage points.
In the first nine months of 2014, non-IFRS profit after tax was 2,615 million (first nine months of 2013: 2,474 million), an increase of 6%. Non-IFRS basic earnings per share was 2.19 (first nine months of 2013: 2.08), an increase of 6%.
The non-IFRS effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2014 was 26.4% (first nine months of 2013: 25.6%). The year-over-year increase in the effective tax rate mainly resulted from changes in taxes for prior years and in the regional allocation of income which were partly compensated by tax effects relating to intercompany financing and changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

OPERATING RESULTS IN THE FIRST NINE MONTHS (IFRS)
Orders
The total number of on-premise software deals we closed decreased by 3% from the comparator amount in the first nine months of 2014 to 37,628 (first nine months of 2013: 38,697). In contrast, the average value of on-premise software orders we received remained stable compared with the previous year. In the first nine months of 2014, 22% (first nine months of 2013: 23%) of the value of new software orders came from orders whose volume exceeded 5 million, while 47% (first nine months of 2013: 46%) came from orders worth less than 1 million.
Revenue
Our revenue from cloud subscriptions and support was 738 million (first nine months of 2013: 488 million), an increase of 51% compared to the same period in 2013.
In the first nine months of 2014, software revenue was 2,532 million (first nine months of 2013: 2,614 million), a decrease of 3% compared to the same period in 2013.
Total revenue was 12,103 million (first nine months of 2013: 11,708 million), an increase of 3% compared to the same period in 2013.
Operating Expense
In the first nine months of 2014, our operating expense increased by 5% to 9,525 million (first nine months of 2013: 9,031 million). A main driver of this increase were the expenses for the TomorrowNow and Versata litigations in the amount of 307 million (first nine months of 2013: positive effect of 32 million). For more information about these litigations, see the Notes to the Interim Financial Statements section, Note (16).
Operating Profit and Operating Margin
In the first nine months of 2014, compared with the same period in the previous year, operating profit decreased by 4% to 2,578 million (first nine months of 2013: 2,677 million). The decrease was mainly due to the expenses for the TomorrowNow and Versata litigations.
Our operating margin decreased by 1.6 percentage points to 21.3% (first nine months of 2013: 22.9%). The expenses for the TomorrowNow and Versata litigations had a 2.5 percentage point negative effect on our operating margin in the first nine months of 2014 (first nine months of 2013: 0.3 percentage point positive effect).
Profit After Tax and Earnings per Share
In the first nine months of 2014, profit after tax was 1,971 million (first nine months of 2013: 2,006 million), a decrease of 2%. Basic earnings per share was 1.65 (first nine months of 2013: 1.68), a decrease of 2%. The year-over-year decrease was mainly driven by the expenses for the TomorrowNow and Versata litigations.
The effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2014 was 24.8% (first nine months of 2013: 23.4%). The year-over-year increase in the effective tax rate mainly resulted from changes in taxes for prior years and in the regional allocation of income which were partly compensated by tax effects relating to intercompany financing and changes in foreign currency exchange rates

FINANCES (IFRS)
Capital Structure Management
After undergoing an external credit rating process, on September 19, 2014, SAP SE was assigned a first-time long-term issuer credit rating of A2 by Moodys and A by Standard & Poors, both with outlook Stable. The ratings incorporate an additional credit facility of up to 7bn for the expected acquisition of Concur. Such credit facility should cover payments of the purchase price and related transaction costs as well as debt refinancing of Concur.
Based on the strong financial profile, track record of fast debt repayments and proactive liquidity management, SAP has established a very strong reputation with debt investors.While SAP has continuously realized successful financing transactions at attractive terms, an external rating provides SAP with the opportunity to broaden investor access and to optimally benefit from its high creditworthiness. An external rating provides investors, customers and suppliers with an independent view of SAPs strength and stability.
Cash Flow and Liquidity
Operating cash flow for the first nine month of 2014 was 3,082 million (first nine month of 2013: 3,040 million). Thus, despite the payment from the Versata-litigation, our operating cash flow increased 1% over the same period in the previous year.
Group liquidity stood at 3,403 million on September 30, 2014 (December 31, 2013: 2,841 million). Group liquidity comprised cash and cash equivalents totaling 3,354 million (December 31, 2013: 2,748 million) and current investments totaling 49 million (December 31, 2013: 93 million).

ASSETS (IFRS)
Analysis of Consolidated Statements of Financial Position
The total assets of the Group were 29,593 million on September 30, 2014, an increase of 2,502 million since December 31, 2013, resulting mainly from an increase in goodwill out of the Fieldglass acquisition as well as foreign exchange related revaluations.
The equity ratio on September 30, 2014, was 60% (December 31, 2013: 59%), a slight increase.
Investments
Investments in intangible assets and property, plant, and equipment were 1,224 million in the first nine months of 2014, which decreased by 409 million compared to the first nine months of 2013 (1,633 million), which is mainly due to the hybris acquisition of the prior year.
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 structured entities, that are not disclosed in our interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
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
14 | INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT |
the market capitalization of SAP SE, which was 70.1 billion, with the equity of the SAP Group on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, which was 17.7 billion on September 30, 2014 (December 31, 2013: 16.0 billion). This means that the market capitalization of our equity is almost 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 2014 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$17.3 billion.
ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
Over the past several years, we have worked to better understand the connections between our energy consumption, its related cost, and the resulting environmental impact. Today we measure and address our energy usage throughout SAP, as well as our greenhouse gas emissions across our entire value chain. Between the beginning of 2008 and the end of the third quarter 2014, we calculate that energy efficiency initiatives have contributed to a cumulative cost avoidance of 300 million, compared to a business-as-usual extrapolation.
Moreover, to credibly offer solutions that help our customers better manage their use of resources, we must do so ourselves. By addressing the financial and environmental impact of our energy consumption, we gain valuable insights to create solutions for our customers.
Our goal is to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from our operations to levels of the year 2000 by 2020. SAPs GHG emissions for the third quarter 2014 totaled 125 kilotons compared to 135 kilotons in the third quarter of 2013. This decrease is primarily due to additional renewable energy certificates procured. Despite emissions reductions compared to 2013, there is a risk that we might not meet our year-end emissions target of 440 kilotons.
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 46% and per euro of revenue by about 32% at the end of September 2014 (rolling four quarters).
Since July, private users have the possibility to use TwoGo by SAP (www.twogo.com) for ridesharing. Private use is free of charge. The main benefit of TwoGo by SAP is to organize regular short distance rides, e.g. for commuters.
In recognition of the exemplary actions SAP has taken to embed sustainability across its business worldwide, SAP has been ranked the most sustainable software company in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes for the eighth consecutive year. In addition, SAP has been recognized as one the top 100 green power users by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

SAP stock regained ground against the two major benchmark indexes in the third quarter of 2014: The stock rose 1.2% over the quarter, while the DAX 30 declined 3.6% and the EURO STOXX 50 slipped back 0.1% in the same period.
The SAP stock closed at 56.40 on the Xetra market at the end of June. On July 1, the beginning of the new quarter, it rose to 56.53 its lowest closing price in the report period. On July 17, the Company published its second-quarter numbers, and in response, the stock climbed to 61.12 by July 23. That was its top price in the quarter and the highest since January 13.
After July 23, escalating troubles in Ukraine, sanctions against Russia, conflict in the Gaza Strip, fighting in Iraq, and the default of the Argentinian treasury combined to darken sentiment on the stock exchanges. Adding to the downward pressure on prices were rumors that the U.S. Federal Reserve might raise interest rates earlier than had been expected. In this environment, the SAP stock declined again to 56.60 on August 15, while the DAX 30 fell to its lowest mark since the middle of March.
European Central Bank monetary policy revived the mood of the capital markets at the end of August and SAP stock improved alongside the upward trend until the middle of September. On September 18, the Company announced that to further expand the worlds largest business network it plans to acquire Concur, the leader in travel and expense management software. Initially, SAP investors reacted with reticence on the news of the biggest planned acquisition in the Companys history, and the stock lost 3.8% the day after the announcement. From mid-September, the general market conditions were seen more critically and, with this, the SAP stock closed at 57.10 at the end of the third 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 16 in the Notes to the Interim Financial Statements. The other risk factors remain largely unchanged since 2013, and are discussed more fully in our 2013 Integrated Report and our Annual Report on Form 20-F for 2013. We do not believe the risks we have identified jeopardize our ability to continue as a going concern. Opportunities also remain largely unchanged since 2013.

REPORT ON EXPECTED DEVELOPMENTS
Future Trends in the Global Economy
Global economic growth should gradually accelerate over the medium term but is expected to remain moderate overall, according to the European Central Bank (ECB). In the near term, the ECB does not rule out volatility arising for instance out of the political tensions between, for example, Russia and other countries in connection with the troubles in Ukraine. The ECB believes growth will be more consistent in the industrialized economies than in the emerging economies.
INTERIM REPORT JANUARY SEPTEMBER 2014 | 17 |
In the EMEA region, economic growth could gradually accelerate in the euro area over the next few years. However, the ECB expects growth in the euro area to be relatively weak in the fourth quarter of 2014. The near-term prospects may be dampened by political tensions between the European Union and Russia.
In the Americas region, the ECB expects the U.S. economy to enjoy noticeable and sustained growth. On the other hand, it predicts an initial recovery in Latin American economies, followed by growth lagging behind global rates in the medium term.
Concerning the APJ region, the ECB is optimistic about Japan, where it forecasts some (if not much) economic growth in the months to come. That would recover the ground lost since the rise in value-added tax. However, the ECB expects growth in China gradually to flatten.

IT Market: The Outlook for 2014
International Data Corporation (IDC), a market research firm based in the United States, expects 2014 year-over-year worldwide IT market growth to be significantly over 4%. That represents an upward adjustment of its mid-year projection by almost one-half of a percentage point. IDC expects even stronger growth, at more than 6%, in the global software market, with the cloud, Big Data, social, and mobile segments being the main growth drivers.
IDC expects patterns of IT investment again to vary in the emerging economies. The crisis in Ukraine and sanctions against Russia may have a greater impact in the remainder of the year than hitherto. IDC believes growth in the industrialized countries will, however, remain stable.
In the EMEA region, that applies mainly to the IT markets in Western Europe, which, IDC expects, will remain largely stable and could expand several percentage points. Across the region however, all IT market segments are expected to underperform against the global average.
In the Americas region, IDC believes the U.S. market may expand more than 4%, helped by growth in the overall U.S. economy. IDC expects software investment to grow more rapidly in the Americas region than the global average.
In the APJ region, IDC has slightly adjusted its forecast for IT spending in Japan upward in light of unexpectedly positive numbers from the software and services segments. IDC now forecasts almost 3% growth in Japan. In China, IDC also expects an upswing in the IT market and believes a return to double-digit growth may yet be achieved for full-year 2014.

Impact on SAP
Organizations around the world are now entering a new era of business model innovation, made possible by the convergence of cloud, mobile, social, and in-memory technologies.
However, businesses often contend with layers of IT complexity that have been built up over the decades. This complexity is the result of several factors, including the proliferation of hardware and custom applications. In addition, customers are not able to respond fast enough to changing market conditions due to the complexity of the current consumption model.
In todays technology industry, the biggest winners have grown by offering simplicity across their entire business model. For technology companies in particular, this has yielded massive user adoption in very short time frames resulting in market success.
We believe that simplicity is the key: By solving the challenge of business complexity, we can help unlock our customers innovation potential.
With our focus on simplification, we aim to better innovate and grow.
By offering our entire portfolio in the SAP Cloud powered by SAP HANA, we will focus our simplification on three areas simplifying our consumption model, our portfolio, and user experience.
With the SAP HANA platform, we have an opportunity to simplify our product portfolio and IT landscape for our customers. SAP HANA can radically simplify enterprise applications as it collapses the entire IT stack. With SAP HANA Cloud Platform, we have the ability to take our core on-premise applications to the cloud and offer a choice of cloud deployments to our customers.
In addition, we will also simplify our business model through end-to-end delivery of industry-specific solutions that can drive business value and outcomes. We will continue to build an open ecosystem and our partner network to deliver SAP Cloud powered by SAP HANA on their cloud infrastructure. Our ecosystem will play a vital role in building new solutions on the SAP HANA platform and delivering value to our customers.
By investing in innovations and shifting our customers to a cloud business model, we will be able to help reduce their total cost of ownership (TCO) on IT. This enables customers to reinvest the TCO savings in innovations and SAP could capture a higher share of customer IT spend.
Emerging markets will continue to be a growth driver, with high double-digit growth in software and cloud revenues expected through 2017. In addition to our investments in China, Russia (subject to close observation of the further political and economic developments in Russia), and the Middle East, we are expanding our investments in Africa.
Overall, we expect to have sufficient future growth potential helping us to reach our adjusted 2014 outlook targets and medium-term aspirations, which extend beyond 2015 and into 2017. Thus, SAP expects to outperform, with regard to non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue at constant currencies, the global economy and the IT industry in 2014, as long as they develop as currently forecasted. For more information, see the Operational Targets for 2014 (Non-IFRS) section.
INTERIM REPORT JANUARY SEPTEMBER 2014 | 19 |
Forecast for SAP
Operational Targets for 2014 (Non-IFRS)
Revenue and Operating Profit Outlook
The Company updated its outlook for the full year 2014.
Based on the strong momentum in SAPs cloud business, the Company is raising its cloud outlook again and now expects full year 2014 non-IFRS cloud subscriptions and support revenue to be in a range of 1,040 to 1,070 million (previously 1,000 to 1,050 million) at constant currencies (2013: 757 million). The upper end of this range represents a growth rate of 41%. The Company continues to expect full year 2014 non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue to increase by 6% to 8% at constant currencies (2013: 14.03 billion).
With the customer-driven mix shift from upfront to cloud subscription revenue the Company now expects full-year 2014 non-IFRS operating profit to be in a range of 5.6 billion to 5.8 billion (previously 5.8 to 6.0 billion) at constant currencies (2013: 5.48 billion).
SAP anticipates the fast-growing cloud business along with growth in support revenue will drive a higher proportion of more predictable revenue in the future.
The 2014 business outlook does not include any contributions from the planned addition of Concur Technologies, Inc.
While the Companys full-year 2014 business outlook is at constant currency, actual currency reported figures are expected to continue to be impacted by currency exchange rate fluctuations. If exchange rates remain at the September 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 positive currency impact of approximately 3 percentage points and 3 percentage points respectively for the fourth quarter of 2014 and a negative currency effect of approximately 1 percentage points and neutral impact respectively for the full year 2014.
The above mentioned indication for the expected currency exchange rate impact on actual currency reported figures replaces the earlier indication disclosed on July 17, 2014 in our Interim Report January June 2014.
We expect that total revenue (non-IFRS) will continue to depend largely on the revenue from software and software-related services. However, the revenue growth we expect from this is below the outlook provided for cloud subscriptions and support revenue (non-IFRS).
Given the growth opportunities in the cloud market, we continue to invest in our cloud delivery and go-to-market for SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud. While our accelerated shift to the cloud creates short term profit and margin pressure we strive to maintain our cloud subscriptions and support margin (non-IFRS) in the fourth quarter of 2014 on the same level achieved in the third quarter 2014. The impact of these investments in 2014 is reflected in our full-year outlook. In the mid-term we see higher cloud profitability as we gain higher economies of scale with our Cloud offerings.
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 table shows the estimates of the items that represent the differences between our non-IFRS financial measures and our IFRS financial measures.

1) | All adjusting items are partly incurred in currencies other than the euro. Consequently, the amounts are subject to currency volatility. All estimates for 2014 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 2014 may differ significantly from the estimates provided in the table above. The reader should remember that SAPs outlook is based on constant currency. |
2) | We will consider all new information that emerges from further developments of the TomorrowNow litigation to determine if the provision should be adjusted in the future, which could result in a change to the respective estimate provided in the table above. Versata and SAP have entered into a patent license and settlement agreement in Q3 2014. |
3) | Our share-based payment expenses are subject, among other factors, to share price volatility, anticipated achievement of financial KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) objectives, and fluctuations in SAPs 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 2014 may differ significantly from these estimates. |
4) | The estimates provided above for share-based payments expenses include grants under existing programs. New share-based payments plans may make the total amounts for 2014 differ significantly from these estimates. |
5) | The estimates provided above for acquisition-related charges are based on the acquisitions made by SAP up to the day of this document. |
20 | INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT |
Subsequent acquisitions may cause the total amounts for 2014 to differ significantly from these estimates. The estimates do not include the Concur acquisition. |
The company continues to expect a full-year 2014 effective tax rate (IFRS) between 26.0% to 27.0% (2013: 24.4%) and an effective tax rate (non-IFRS) between 27.5% to 28.5% (2013: 25.9%) but now expects to reach the lower end of these ranges.
Goals for Liquidity, Finance, Investments, and Dividends
On September 30, 2014, 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 also in the fourth quarter of 2014 and, together with expected cash flows from operations, will support our currently planned capital expenditure requirements over the near term and medium term. We currently expect to have repaid the 500 million acquisition term loan in respect of the Fieldglass acquisition by the end of the first quarter of 2015. We have available an unutilized credit facility of up to 7 billion for the planned acquisition of Concur. We intend to issue new debt, such as bonds to defray a material part of that facility. By the time of this report, we have no concrete plans for future share buybacks.
Excepting acquisitions, our planned capital expenditures for 2014 and 2015 can be covered in full by operating cash flow. They will mainly be spent on property improvements planned in Bangalore (India), Beijing (China), New York City (United States), Paris (France), Potsdam (Germany), and Raanana (Israel) and on increasing our data center capacity in Newtown Square (United States) and St. Leon-Rot (Germany).
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 SAPs 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 2014 from major acquisitions.
Medium-Term Prospects
Our medium-term prospects as discussed in our 2013 Integrated Report and our 2013 Annual Report on Form 20-F did not change in the first nine months of 2014 which does not include any contributions from the planned addition of Concur Technologies, Inc.
We continue to strive to increase our total revenue to more than 20 billion by 2015 and revenue from our cloud business, including cloud-related professional services, to approximately 2 billion by 2015.
Looking beyond 2015, we introduced new 2017 targets. We now aim to increase total revenue to at least 22 billion and revenue from our cloud business to 3.0 to 3.5 billion by 2017. We have retained our non-IFRS operating margin goal of 35%. To capture the growth opportunities in the cloud, we now expect this target to be reached by 2017 rather than in 2015 as previously stated. We anticipate the fast-growing cloud business along with growth in support revenue will drive a higher proportion of more predictable, recurring revenue in the future.
SAP expects that annual cloud subscription and support revenue will be higher than annual software license revenue latest in 2020.
In addition to our financial goals, we also focus on two non-financial targets: Customer loyalty and employee engagement. We believe it is essential that our employees are engaged, drive our success, and support our strategy. Therefore, we plan to increase our employee engagement index score to 82% by 2015 (2013: 77%). Further, our customers satisfaction with the solutions we offer is very important to us. We want our customers to not only be satisfied, but also see us as a trusted partner for innovation. We measure this customer loyalty metric using the Net Promoter Score (NPS). For 2014, we have set a target for increasing the NPS by four percentage points (2013: 12.1%).

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) General Information About Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of SAP SE and its subsidiaries (collectively, we, us, our, SAP, Group, and Company) have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and in particular in compliance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34. The designation IFRS includes all standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and related interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC). 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.
With effect from July 7, 2014, SAP AG was converted to a European Company (Societas Europaea, SE), and since this date, the companys legal form is SAP SE.
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 SAPs audited Consolidated IFRS Financial Statements for the Year Ended December 31, 2013, included in our 2013 Annual Report (extract from our 2013 Integrated Report) and our 2013 Annual Report 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:

September 30, 2014 |
20 | 226 | 246 |
The additions during the first nine months of 2014 relate to legal entities added in connection with acquisitions. The disposals are due to mergers and liquidations of operating and non-operating legal entities.
Our changes in the scope of consolidation in the first nine months of 2014 were 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 Annual Report for 2013.
(3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The 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, 2013. 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 2013.
Newly Adopted Accounting Standards
The new accounting standards (for example the Amendments to IAS 32 (Financial Instruments: Presentation) Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities) adopted in the first nine months of 2014 did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
On May 12, 2014, the IASB published amendments to IAS 16 (Property, Plant and Equipment) and IAS 38 (Intangible Assets). The amendments become mandatory for the Groups 2016 Consolidated Financial Statements and clarify that in general the use of revenue-based methods to calculate the depreciation / amortization is not appropriate (this presumption, however, can be rebutted in certain limited circumstances for intangibles). We have not yet completed the determination of the impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
30 | CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - IFRS |
On May 28, 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers). The standard becomes effective in fiscal year 2017 with earlier application permitted. We are in the early stage of an analysis of the impact of the standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements. This impact could be material, in particular in the areas of allocating revenue to the different performance obligations under one contract and the timing of revenue recognition. The standard foresees different alternative approaches for the adoption of the new guidance. We have not yet taken a decision which of these alternatives we intend to apply.
On July 24, 2014, the IASB issued the fourth and final version of IFRS 9 (Financial Instruments), which will be applicable in fiscal year 2018. The new guidance is expected to mainly impact the classification and measurement of financial assets and will result in additional disclosures. We have not yet completed the determination of the impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
For more information about new accounting standards not yet adopted, see Note (3) in our Annual Report for 2013.
(4) Business Combinations
We acquired the following businesses in the first nine months of 2014.

On September 30, 2014, the breakdown of our full-time equivalent employee numbers by function and by region was as shown in the table below. The increase in headcount in the SAP Group to 67,478 employees is mainly due to additions of full-time equivalents to software and software-related services.

We are subject to ongoing tax audits by domestic and foreign tax authorities. Currently, we are mainly in dispute with the German and the Brazilian tax authorities. The German dispute is in respect of intercompany financing matters while the Brazilian dispute is in respect of the license fee deductibility. In both cases, we expect that we will need to initiate litigation to prevail. For both of these matters, we have not recorded a provision as we believe that the tax authorities claims have no merit and that no adjustment is warranted. If, contrary to our view, the tax authorities were to prevail in their arguments before the court, we would expect to have an additional tax expense (including related interest expenses and penalties) of approximately 722 million in total.

On September 30, 2014, current deferred income includes a total of 498 million in deferred revenue (December 31, 2013: 443 million; September 30, 2013: 376 million), which in future will likely be recognized as revenue from cloud subscriptions and support.
(14) Total Equity
Issued Shares
On September 30, 2014, SAP SE had 1,228,504,232 no-par issued shares (December 31, 2013: 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 2014.

(15) Contingent Liabilities
For a detailed description of our contingent liabilities, see Note (22) in our 2013 Annual Report, Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements section. There have been no significant changes in contingent liabilities since December 31, 2013.
For information about contingent liabilities related to litigation, see Note (16).
(16) Litigation and Claims
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, claims that relate to customers demanding indemnification for proceedings initiated against them based on their use of SAP software, and claims that relate to customers being dissatisfied with the products and services that we have delivered to them. 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$357 million (US$306 million on December 31, 2013) . 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. Managements 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. Most of the litigations and claims are of a very individual nature and claims are either not quantified by the claimants or claim amounts quantified are, based on historical evidence, not expected to be a good proxy for the expenditure that would be required to settle the case concerned. The specifics of the jurisdictions where most of the claims are located further impair the predictability of the outcome of the cases. Therefore, it is not practicable to reliably estimate the financial effect that these litigations and claims would have if SAP were to incur expenditure for these cases.
For more information about the provisions recorded for litigation, see our 2013 Annual Report, 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 Americas parent company SAP SE (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 SE, 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.
INTERIM REPORT JANUARY SEPTEMBER 2014 | 37 |
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, Oracles damages experts presented an amount of US$408 million based on lost profits and disgorgement of infringers profit.
c) During the trial, members of Oracle management presented, as part of their testimonies, amounts of up to US$5 billion. Oracles damages expert presented a damages estimate of at least US$1.655 billion under a hypothetical license theory. Oracles 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 infringers 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 infringers 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 infringers profits. Oracle filed a motion seeking an early appeal from the ruling vacating the jurys 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 filed respective notices of appeal; ultimately, SAP did not pursue an appeal, and instead defended the district courts judgment. On appeal, Oracle sought three forms of relief: (1) reinstatement of the November 2010 US$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 SAPs alleged infringers 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 US$408.7 million (versus the US$272 million Oracle had previously rejected). The hearing was held on May 13, 2014. On August 29, 2014, the appeals court issued its decision affirming the district courts judgment and rejecting Oracles request to reinstate the November 2010 jury verdict or allow it to seek hypothetical license damages at any new trial. The appeals court did order an increase in the remittitur (as an alternative to new trial) to US$356.7 million, as opposed to the US$408.7 million Oracle requested. The case has been returned from the appeals court to the district court, which has set a case management conference for November 20, 2014. Oracle has not yet made its election of accepting the remittitur or proceeding to a new trial, and there is not yet a deadline set for that or for any other proceedings in the trial court beyond the case management conference.
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 SE 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 District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against SAP. Versata alleged that SAPs 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 jurys damages award and ordered a new trial on damages. The retrial 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 SAPs 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 Versatas 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.
38 | CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - IFRS |
Both parties appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The appeal hearing occurred in February 2013 and a decision was issued on May 1, 2013. The three-judge panel ruled in Versatas favor on infringement and damages, leaving both fully intact. The past damages verdict currently stands at approximately US$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 SAPs petition no later than July 29, 2013. In August 2013, the appeals court denied SAPs request for rehearing and issued its mandate passing jurisdiction to the district court.
Separately, SAP filed a petition with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) challenging the validity of the asserted Versata patent. In January 2013, the USPTO granted SAPs request to reconsider the validity of Versatas 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 Versatas request for reconsideration. In November, 2013, Versata sought appeals court review of the USPTO decision. That appeal is fully briefed and the parties await announcement of a hearing date.
In June 2013, following the determination of unpatentability, 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 December 2013, SAP filed with the United States Supreme Court a petition for a writ of certiorari to review the decisions of the appeals court. That petition was denied in January 2014. Immediately thereafter, Versata requested that the District Court dismiss its remaining claims for injunctive and equitable relief. The District Court granted that request and deemed the previously entered judgment final. On that same day, SAP requested that the District Court vacate the judgment or stay the litigation, based on the USPTO decision declaring Versatas patent claims unpatentable. Versata requested an order requiring SAP to pay the judgment. In April, 2014, the District Court denied SAPs motion to vacate the judgment or stay the litigation. SAP filed an appeal seeking review of that district court decision. On motion by Versata, the appeals court dismissed SAPs appeal in June 2014. On June 30, 2014, SAP filed a motion with the appeals court to stay issuance of its mandate. That motion was denied. SAP subsequently requested from the U.S. Supreme Court a temporary stay for the purpose of the Court considering a petition for a writ of certiorari. That request was denied. Versatas request for an order requiring SAP to pay the judgment remained undecided at the District Court. In August, 2014, Versata and SAP entered into a Patent License and Settlement Agreement (the Agreement) to settle the existing patent litigation between the companies. Under the terms of the Agreement, Versata will license to SAP certain patents in exchange for a one-time cash payment and a potential additional contingent payment. The Agreement also provides for general releases, indemnification for its violation, and dismisses the existing litigation with prejudice.
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 SAPs and Sybases 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 were stayed against all defendants pending a decision from the U.S. Supreme Court on SAPs and other defendants request for review. Supreme Court review was declined in June, 2014. The lawsuit has resumed at the district court but only with respect to one defendant. The lawsuit against SAP and Sybase remains stayed.
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 reexaminations 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. In response to SAPs patent DJ action, Wellogix has re-asserted trade secret misappropriation claims against SAP (which had previously been raised and abandoned). SAP has filed a motion for an early dispositive decision on the trade secret claims, and we expect the court to issue a decision on that motion later this year.
In August 2007, United States-based elcommerce.com, Inc. (elcommerce) instituted legal proceedings in the United States against SAP. elcommerce alleged that SAPs products infringe one or more of the claims in one patent held by elcommerce. In its complaint, elcommerce sought
INTERIM REPORT JANUARY SEPTEMBER 2014 | 39 |
unspecified monetary damages and permanent injunctive relief. The court in East Texas granted SAPs 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 of the method claims of the patent and invalidity of the system claims. elcommerce has appealed the courts Markman ruling. The hearing for the appeal was held in May 2012. SAP also filed a reexamination request with the USPTO to invalidate elcommerces patent. On September 23, 2013, the USPTO issued a decision invalidating the patent. elcommerce sought rehearing from the USPTO, but that request was denied in March, 2014. The Federal Circuit appeals court also issued a decision in February, 2014, confirming that SAP did not infringe some claims of the elcommerce patent, but reversing the district courts decision of invalidity of the patent. SAP has asked the Federal Circuit court to reconsider its invalidity decision. In June 2014, elcommerce and SAP jointly moved to dismiss the appeal on the Federal Circuit court. The legal dispute is thus closed.
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 SAPs argument and dismissed the claim by Securinfo. Securinfo appealed against this decision on December 19, 2012.
In March 2013, the court dismissed Securinfos 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 Securinfos appeals. Securinfo has applied for an appeal hearing date. The court has not yet provided a date.
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 91 million. We have not recorded a provision for these matters, as we believe that we will prevail on these matters.

(17) Share-Based Payments
For a detailed description of our share-based payment plans, see Note (27) in our 2013 Annual Report, Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements section.
Share Matching Plan 2014 (SMP 2014)
Under the SMP 2014, SAP offered its employees the opportunity to purchase SAP SE 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 employees 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 June 2014, the participants purchased 1.5 million SAP shares in aggregate at a discounted share price of 33.41. The discount of 35 million was expensed immediately. The fair value of the right to a bonus share was estimated on the grant date (June 4, 2014) at 52.49 per share, using a risk-free interest rate of 0.13%, a dividend yield of 1.87%, and an expected life of three years.
The outstanding bonus shares under the Share Matching Plan are as follows:

Stock Option Plan 2010 (2014 Tranche)
Under the Stock Option Plan 2010 (2014 Tranche), we granted 9.0 million cash-based virtual stock options to Global Executives and to SAPs Top Rewards in 2014.
The vesting period is three years and the contractual term of the program is six years. The exercise price is 60.96 and the fair value on the grant date was 8.49.
(18) 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
40 | CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - IFRS |
Consolidated Financial Statements for 2013, which are included in our 2013 Integrated Report, and our 2013 Annual Report on Form 20-F.
There have been no significant changes to our financial risk management since December 31, 2013, except as follows:
| After undergoing an external credit rating process, on September 19, 2014, SAP SE was assigned a first-time long-term issuer credit rating of A2 by Moodys and A by Standard & Poors, both with outlook Stable. |
| An additional credit facility of up to 7 billion was established for the expected acquisition of Concur, which covers the purchase price, target debt refinancing, and related transaction costs. |
| In preparation for the expected acquisition of Concur, we entered into a combination of foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency options. These hedging transactions serve to fix the euro countervalue of the U.S. dollar purchase price in order to protect our euro-based liquidity position against euro/U.S. dollar fluctuation in an uncertain market environment. At the end of the third quarter 2014 this hedging strategy lead to income of 92 million (first nine months of 2014: 92 million) in Other non-operating income/expense, net. |
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
A detailed overview of the determination of fair value, the respective inputs as well as the classification of our other financial instruments into the fair value hierarchy of IFRS 13 are presented in Note (26) to our Consolidated Financial Statements for 2013, which are included in our 2013 Integrated Report, and our 2013 Annual Report on Form 20-F.
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.

(19) Segment and Geographic Information
General Information
Our internal reporting system produces reports in which information regarding our business activities is 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 our Company and for making resource allocation decisions as our Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), evaluates business activities in a number of different ways.
In the first quarter 2014, we took significant steps to drive forward our strategy and our ambition to become THE cloud company powered by SAP HANA. To execute this strategy, we merged certain areas of the company that performed similar tasks (for example, the on-premise sales forces with the cloud sales forces, and the on-premise support units with the cloud support units) to achieve a seamless organization of SAP. Since this integration our cloud-related activities are no longer dealt with by separate components in our Company. There are no parts of our Company that qualify as operating segments under IFRS 8 and our Executive Board assesses the financial performance of our Company on an integrated basis only.
Consequently, with effect from the first quarter of 2014 SAP has one single operating segment.
Geographic Information
In the first quarter of 2014, we aligned our revenue by region disclosures with the changes we made to the structure of our income statement (see our Interim Management Report, Report on Economic Position, for details regarding these changes). With the full integration of our cloud activities, we furthermore refined the method of allocating cloud subscription revenues to the different geographies. Comparative prior period data have been adjusted accordingly.
The amounts for revenue by region in the following tables are based on the location of customers.

* | Adjustments in the revenue line items are for support revenue, cloud subscriptions and support 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 payment expenses, restructuring expenses, as well as the TomorrowNow and Versata litigation expenses. |
** | 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 years respective period instead of the current period. Constant currency period-over-period changes are calculated by comparing the current years non-IFRS constant currency numbers with the non-IFRS number of the previous years 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.
