SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) today announced its financial results for the second quarter and the first half-year ended June 30, 2020.

Business Performance Second Quarter 2020

Financial Highlights1

Business activity gradually improved over the course of the second quarter following the global emergence of the COVID-19 crisis primarily in the last month of the first quarter. Software licenses revenue, while still below normal levels, recovered more than expected. In particular, the APJ region had a strong recovery in software licenses revenue.

In the second quarter, current cloud backlog2 was up 20% to €6.65 billion (21% at constant currencies) with continued high demand for digital supply chain, e-commerce, cloud platform and Qualtrics solutions. Cloud revenue was impacted by lower pay-as-you-go transactional revenue as a result of the COVID-19 crisis and grew 21% year over year to €2.04 billion (IFRS), up 19% to €2.04 billion (non-IFRS) and up 18% (non-IFRS at constant currencies). Software licenses revenue was down 18% year over year to €0.77 billion (IFRS and non-IFRS) and down 18% (non-IFRS at constant currencies), a strong sequential improvement compared to the first quarter. Cloud and software revenue grew 4% year over year to €5.71 billion (IFRS), up 3% to €5.71 billion (non-IFRS) and up 3% (non-IFRS at constant currencies). Total revenue grew 2% year over year to €6.74 billion (IFRS), up 1% to €6.74 billion (non-IFRS) and up 1% (non-IFRS at constant currencies).

The share of more predictable revenue grew by five percentage points year-over-year to 73% in the second quarter.

Cloud gross margin increased 3.4 percentage points year over year to 66.0% (IFRS) and increased by 1.6 percentage points year over year to 69.5% (non-IFRS).

IFRS operating profit in the second quarter increased strongly primarily due to a significantly lower impact from restructuring expenses compared to the previous year. Operating profit increased by 55% year over year to €1.28 billion (IFRS) and was up 8% to €1.96 billion (non-IFRS) and up 7% (non-IFRS at constant currencies). Operating margin increased 6.6 percentage points year over year to 19.0% (IFRS) and increased 1.8 percentage points year over year to 29.1% (non-IFRS) and 1.7 percentage points to 28.9% (non-IFRS at constant currencies).

Earnings per share was up 54% year over year to €0.73 (IFRS) and was up 7% to €1.17 (non-IFRS).

Operating cash flow and free cash flow grew strongly in the second quarter. This was mainly driven by positive effects from lower payments to suppliers and lower than expected income tax payments. Operating cash flow for the first six months was €3.77 billion, up 41% year-over-year. Free cash flow for the first six months was up 59% year-over-year at €3.12 billion. Free cash flow additionally benefited from lower capital expenditure compared to the previous year. At the end of the second quarter, net debt was -€7.45 billion.

COVID-19 Response

SAP remains focused on supporting its customers, employees and communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. SAP continues to operate with a virtual sales and remote implementation strategy to enable the large majority of its employees to work productively from home while continuing to serve customers effectively. In certain locations around the globe a small number of SAP employees have started to return or are planning to return to the office at a cautious pace as permitted by local regulations. SAP remains focused on the safety of the small number of its employees who are working onsite.

To ensure the Company’s financial flexibility, SAP is maintaining a slower pace of hiring than in usual circumstances and reduced discretionary spend in addition to natural savings e.g. from lower travel, facility related costs and virtualized events.

SAP remains focused on ensuring continuity for its customers and partners and SAP’s data centers are online with appropriate backup plans.

Since the COVID-19 crisis began, SAP has also been providing solutions to address many of the issues faced by its customers and the broader community. Some recent examples:

  • SAP has developed, together with Deutsche Telekom, the Corona Warning App which is the official German tracing app. The app went live in less than 50 days and has been downloaded more than 16 million times.
  • Qualtrics back-to-business solution is helping many US states and communities restart their economies.
  • To address ongoing disruption to global supply chains, SAP has extended open access to SAP Ariba Discovery to the end of 2020 so that buyers can post immediate sourcing needs and any supplier can respond.

Due to the current uncertainty regarding the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, SAP cannot predict whether our response to date or actions that we may take in the future will be effective in mitigating the impact of COVID-19 on our business and results of operations.3

Business Outlook 2020

The Company confirms its 2020 revenue and profit outlook which was previously published in its Q1 2020 Quarterly Statement on April 21st. The outlook continues to be based on the assumption of a gradually improving demand environment in the third and fourth quarter, expecting further reopening of economies and easing of population lockdowns.

Non-IFRS cloud revenue is still expected to be in a range of €8.3 billion to €8.7 billion at constant currencies (2019: €7.01 billion), up 18% to 24% at constant currencies.

Non-IFRS cloud and software revenue is still expected to be in a range of €23.4 to €24.0 billion at constant currencies (2019: €23.09 billion), up 1% to 4% at constant currencies.

Non-IFRS total revenue is still expected to be in a range of €27.8 to €28.5 billion at constant currencies (2019: €27.63 billion), up 1% to 3% at constant currencies.

Non-IFRS operating profit is still expected to be in a range of €8.1 to €8.7 billion at constant currencies (2019: €8.21 billion), down 1% to up 6% at constant currencies.

The share of more predictable revenue (defined as the total of cloud revenue and software support revenue) is still expected to reach approximately 72%.

The Company has updated its cash flow expectations for 2020 and now expects an operating cash flow of above €5.0 billion (previously approximately €5.0 billion) and a free cash flow of approximately €4.0 billion (previously approximately €3.5 billion).

While SAP’s full-year 2020 business outlook is at constant currencies, actual currency reported figures are expected to be impacted by currency exchange rate fluctuations as the Company progresses through the year. See the table below for the Q3 and FY 2020 expected currency impacts.

Expected Currency Impact Based on June 2020 Level for the Rest of the Year
In percentage points Q3 FY
Cloud revenue -3pp to -1pp -1pp to +1pp
Cloud and software revenue -3pp to -1pp -2pp to 0pp
Operating profit -2pp to 0pp -1pp to +1pp

Ambition 2023 and Capital Markets Day

SAP confirms its 2023 ambition.4 The Company also expects to hold a virtual Capital Markets Day in the fourth quarter 2020 to provide an update on its mid-term strategy.

Additional Information

This Quarterly Statement and all information therein is unaudited.

The 2019 comparative numbers for first half only include Qualtrics revenues and profits from acquisition date of January 23rd.

SAP SE yesterday announced its intent to take Qualtrics public through an initial public offering (IPO) in the United States. SAP currently owns 100% of Qualtrics shares. SAP will retain majority ownership of Qualtrics.

Definition of key growth metrics

Current cloud backlog (CCB) is the contractually committed cloud revenue we expect to recognize over the upcoming 12 months as of a specific key date. Thus, it is a subcomponent of our overall remaining performance obligations following IFRS 15.120. For CCB, we take into consideration committed deals only. CCB can be regarded as a lower boundary for cloud revenue to be recognized over the next 12 months, as it excludes utilization-based models without pre-commitments and committed deals, both new and renewal, closed after the key date. For our committed cloud business, we believe the expansion of CCB over a period is a valuable indicator of go-to market success, as it reflects both new contracts closed as well as existing contracts renewed.

Share of more predictable revenue is the total of non-IFRS cloud revenue and non-IFRS software support revenue as a percentage of total revenue.

Global commerce is the total commerce volume transacted on the SAP Ariba, SAP Concur and SAP Fieldglass Networks in the trailing 12 months. SAP Ariba commerce includes procurement and sourcing spend.
