Consolidated Half-Year Management Report

Strategy and Business Model

SAP continues to execute on the strategy and business model as described in the SAP Integrated Report 2020.

Subsidiaries, Acquisitions, and

Divestitures

Qualtrics IPO

On January 28, 2021, Qualtrics International Inc. successfully issued 12% of its shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market (NASDAQ). The IPO-related cash inflow amounted to €1,847 million and the initial value of non-controlling interests in net assets was €909 million.

Acquisitions

The acquisition of Signavio GmbH ("Signavio"), which closed on March 5, 2021, deepens SAP's business process intelligence (BPI) capabilities, which represent the process layer within the SAP portfolio. Solutions from Signavio augment the spectrum of business process management solutions offered by SAP by adding process modeling, mining, and management capabilities. For more information, see the Notes to the Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements, Note (D.1).

Joint Ventures

To better support our customers in the financial services industry (FSI), SAP agreed to create a joint venture together with German investment company Dediq GmbH, which will be called SAP Fioneer upon closing. The aim of this joint venture is to build agile solutions for FSI using SAP technologies as a basis, such as SAP HANA, SAP S/4HANA, SAP Business Technology Platform, and others. SAP will contribute certain FSI-centric software solutions into the FSI unit in exchange for a minority share in the new entity. The transaction is expected to close in September 2021.

For more information, see the Notes to the Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements, Note (D.1).

Sapphire Ventures

SAP supports entrepreneurs that aspire to build industry-leading businesses, through venture capital funds managed by Sapphire Ventures. In the second quarter, the Executive Board proposed and the Supervisory Board consented to the financing of a new Sapphire Ventures fund ("SAPPHIRE Ventures Fund VI"). SAP´s total volume committed for SAPPHIRE Ventures Fund VI is US$1.75 billion.

Performance Management System

In the second quarter of 2021 and effective for the full year 2021, we changed our non-IFRS definition. We no longer adjust our IFRS revenue measures by including the full amount of recurring revenue that is not recognized under IFRS due to fair value accounting for the contracts in effect at the time of the respective acquisitions. The adjustment amounts were immaterial for the first half of 2021.

Thus, our IFRS revenue is equal to our non-IFRS revenue at actual currencies. Stated 2020 results are based on our 2020 non-IFRS definition.

The adjustment of our non-IFRS definition also impacts our operating profit (non-IFRS), profit before tax (non-IFRS), profit after tax (non-IFRS), and our non-IFRS key ratios such as operating margin, effective tax rate, and earnings per share, basic.

Products, Research & Development, and Services

This section presents a snapshot of SAP product development and services innovation during the first half of 2021. Among the highlights were the launch and growth of RISE with SAP, our "business transformation as a service" cloud offering, and key themes of SAP's flagship customer event, SAPPHIRE NOW. The conference's themes included the expansion of the world's largest business network, keeping sustainability at the center of SAP's business model, and building on SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) as the foundation to provide our customers with a single platform for integration and extensibility across the SAP portfolio and non-SAP solutions.
