The Q1 2022 results were also impacted by other effects. For details, please refer to the disclosures on page 22 of this document.

Impact of War in Ukraine

In the first quarter, SAP's business was impacted by the war in Ukraine. At the beginning of March, SAP stopped all new sales in Russia and Belarus. In addition, SAP started to shut down its cloud operations and intends to stop the support and maintenance of its on-premise products in Russia. Current cloud backlog was lowered by approximately €60 million due to the termination of existing cloud engagements, and operating profit by approximately €70 million due to reduced on-premise revenues, accelerated depreciation of data center assets and capitalized sales commissions.

For the fiscal year, we expect a total negative revenue impact of approximately €300 million from lack of new business and discontinuation of existing business, in particular software and support and services. For non-IFRS operating profit we expect an impact of approximately €350 million from the revenue gaps mentioned above and other expense items.

In addition to the above, the company expects to incur restructuring expenses of approximately €80-100 million for the fiscal year which will not affect non-IFRS results.

Despite these headwinds, the cloud performance allows SAP to reaffirm its cloud revenue, cloud and software revenue as well as non-IFRS operating profit and free cash flow outlook. The reiteration of the non-IFRS operating profit outlook reflects the benefits of a continued strong cloud revenue growth, operational discipline and portfolio streamlining measures.

Other impacts due to this rapidly evolving situation are currently unknown and could potentially subject our business to materially adverse consequences should the situation escalate beyond its current scope.

Financial Highlights

Current cloud backlog was up 28% to €9.73 billion and up 23% at constant currencies. The war in Ukraine reduced current cloud backlog growth at constant currencies by 0.8 percentage points.

Supported by double-digit growth across the solution portfolio, cloud revenue growth continued to accelerate for the fourth consecutive quarter and was up 31% to €2.82 billion, up 25% at constant currencies.

Amidst continuing investments into our next generation cloud delivery program our cloud gross margin was up 1.0 percentage points year over year to 68.2% (IFRS) and up 0.5 percentage points year over year to 70.0% (non-IFRS). Revenue growth, alongside cloud gross margin expansion, drove strong cloud gross profit growth of 33% (IFRS), 32% (non-IFRS) and 26% (non-IFRS at constant currencies).

IFRS operating profit increased 10% to €1.05 billion, primarily driven by lower restructuring expenses. Non-IFRS operating profit decreased 4% to €1.68 billion and decreased 7% at constant currencies. This decrease against a very strong prior year comparable was mainly driven by expenses related to the war in Ukraine, as well as accelerated investments into research & development and sales & marketing to capture current and future growth opportunities.

IFRS earnings per share (basic and diluted) decreased 29% to €0.63 and non-IFRS earnings per share (basic) decreased 28% to €1.00. The year over year decline of earnings per share reflects a contribution to financial income by Sapphire Ventures that was lower than over the same period last year based on current market conditions.

Free cash flow was down 24% to €2.16 billion, mainly attributable to the development of profitability in the quarter and impacts from working capital due to SAP's continuous move to the cloud, and lower software licenses sales in the fourth quarter 2021. The ongoing business transformation provides more balance of cash inflows throughout the year, and we are reiterating our full year free cash flow outlook.

3/23

On January 13, SAP announced a new share repurchase program to support the transition of SAP's share-based compensation programs to equity settlement. By March 31, SAP had repurchased 5,680,250 shares at an average price of €102.26 with a purchased value of approximately €581 million.

Business Highlights
More than 500 customers chose SAP S/4HANA in the quarter, taking total adoption to more than 19,300 customers, up 18% year over year, of which more than 13,900 are live. In the first quarter, more than 60% of the additional SAP S/4HANA customers were net new.

In the first quarter, customers around the globe chose "RISE with SAP" including Accenture, Canon Production Printing, Citizen Watch Company, Daimler Truck AG, Grupo Estrella Blanca, Exide Industries Limited, NEC Corporation, Ooredoo Group, Qinqin Food, Rising Auto, TELUS, Tramontina, and Wipro Limited. Key customer wins across SAP's solution portfolio included: Air France-KLM, FEMSA, Heineken, L'Oréal, Merck KGaA, MLP, Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Corporation, NHS Shared Business Services, PetSmart, Pick n Pay, Salling Group, Schaeffler, and Swellfun. Further, PT United Tractors, Schwarz Produktion and Vodafone New Zealand all went live on SAP solutions in the first quarter.

Microsoft announced it would become the first public cloud provider to adopt "RISE with SAP" and SAP S/4HANA to transform its own SAP ERP deployment. Adopting these solutions will enable Microsoft to deploy new technologies faster and establish best practices that benefit our joint customers.

SAP's cloud revenue performance for the quarter was excellent across all regions. The United States and Germany had an outstanding cloud revenue performance while Japan, China, Brazil, Canada, Switzerland, France, and the UK were particularly strong.

SAP proposed a dividend of €2.45 per share for fiscal year 2021 representing a year-over-year increase of approximately 32%. This amount includes a special dividend of €0.50 to celebrate SAP's 50th anniversary. The dividend is subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming AGM scheduled for May 18, 2022.

On March 9, SAP announced that it had completed the acquisition of a majority stake of Taulia, a leading provider of working capital management solutions. Taulia further expands SAP's Business Network and strengthens SAP's solutions for the CFO office by providing working capital management cloud solutions.

On March 22, SAP and global strategic consultancy BCG announced a partnership to help companies transform their business models, become sustainable enterprises, and gain the data transparency they need to embed sustainability into their core business. The partnership combines SAP's strength as the leading enterprise software company with BCG's proven expertise in advising clients on their sustainability transformation strategies. The SAP and BCG sustainability transformation offering is in pilot phase, with an expected broader launch in the third quarter of 2022.

On March 28, SAP announced that the SAP Signavio brand will represent our portfolio of Business Process Management solutions. SAP also announced general availability of the SAP Signavio Journey to Process Analytics. The new offering correlates experience data from Qualtrics user surveys with operational data from underlying IT systems, giving companies the ability to understand how best to optimize their end-to-end business processes for both operational excellence and customer experience.

Segment Results at a Glance

At the beginning of 2022, the Services segment was integrated into the former Applications, Technology & Support segment which was re-named to Applications, Technology & Services.

Therefore, SAP now has two reportable segments: the Applications, Technology & Services segment and the Qualtrics segment.

1Segment information for comparative prior periods were restated to conform with the new segment composition.

SAP's two reportable segments showed the following performance:

Applications, Technology & Services (AT&S)

Segment revenue in AT&S was up 10% to €6.70 billion year over year, up 6% at constant currencies. Segment performance was driven by strong double-digit cloud revenue growth in SAP S/4HANA as well as Business Technology Platform. Software licenses revenue decreased due to the shift to the cloud as more customers are adopting our 'RISE with SAP' offering. Segment support revenue was up 4% to €2.92 billion year over year and up 1% at constant currencies.

Qualtrics

Qualtrics segment revenue was up 58% to €320 million year over year, up 48% at constant currencies. The continued strong growth was driven by robust renewal rates and expansions. Australian Taxation Office, Chipotle, EY, Google Cloud, Grubhub, Hyundai Motor Asia Pacific, Kroger, Microsoft, National Australia Bank, Royal Mail Group, and Shiseido Company, among others, selected Qualtrics Experience Management Solutions.

Business Outlook 2022

SAP is executing on its cloud-led strategy, which is driving accelerating cloud growth through both new business and cloud adoption by existing customers. The pace and scale of SAP's cloud momentum places the Company well on track towards its mid-term ambition.

For 2022, SAP now expects:

€11.55 - 11.85 billion cloud revenue at constant currencies (2021: €9.42 billion), up 23% to 26% at constant currencies.
€25.0 - 25.5 billion cloud and software revenue at constant currencies (2021: €24.08 billion), up 4% to 6% at constant currencies.
€7.8 - 8.25 billion non-IFRS operating profit at constant currencies (2021: €8.23 billion), flat to down 5% at constant currencies.
The share of more predictable revenue (defined as the total of cloud revenue and software support revenue) is expected to reach approximately 78% (2021: 75%).
Free cash flow above €4.5 billion (2021: €5.01 billion).
SAP now expects a full-year 2022 effective tax rate (IFRS) of 28.0% to 32.0% (previously: 25.0% to 28.0%) and an effective tax rate (non-IFRS) of 23.0% to 27.0% (previously: 22.0% to 25.0%). The increase of the effective tax rate outlook mainly reflects an updated projection of the 2022 financial income contribution of Sapphire Ventures in light of current market conditions.

While SAP's full-year 2022 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 Q2 and FY 2022 expected currency impacts.

5/23

Expected Currency Impact Assuming March 2022 Rates Apply for the Rest of the Year
In percentage points Q2 2022 FY 2022
Cloud revenue growth +7pp to +9pp +5pp to +7pp
Cloud and software revenue growth +4pp to +6pp +3pp to +5pp
Operating profit growth (non-IFRS) +4pp to +6pp +3pp to +5pp

Ambition for Non-Financial Performance

In 2022, SAP continues to expect:

a Customer Net Promoter Score of 11 to 15 (2021: 10)
an Employee Engagement Index in a range of 84% to 86% (2021: 83%)
Net carbon emissions of 70 kt (2021: 110 kt)

Ambition 2025

SAP confidently reiterates its mid-term ambition published in its Q3 2020 Quarterly Statement.

Non-IFRS Numbers

(D) Basis of Non-IFRS Presentation

We disclose certain financial measures such as revenue (non-IFRS), 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 our constant currency and free cash flow figures, see Explanation of Non-IFRS Measures online.

Disaggregations

(H) Segment Reporting
(H.1) Segment Policies and Segment Changes

SAP has two reportable segments: the Applications, Technology & Services segment and the Qualtrics segment.

In the first quarter 2022, the following changes to the composition of our operating segments occurred:

- SAP acquired Taulia, a leading provider of working capital management solutions. This acquisition led to a new operating segment, however due to its size Taulia is not a reportable segment.

- In the beginning of 2022, the Services segment was dissolved and integrated into the former Applications, Technology & Support segment which was therefore re-named to Applications, Technology & Services. The segment information for comparative prior periods were restated to conform with the new segment composition.

Our non-reportable Business Process Intelligence segment was renamed into SAP Signavio segment in the first quarter of 2022. There were no changes to the composition of this segment.

For a more detailed description of SAP's segment reporting, see Note (C.1) "Results of Segments" of our Integrated Report 2021.

Other Disclosures

(L) Financial Income, Net

In the first quarter of 2022, finance income mainly consisted of gains from disposals and fair value adjustments of equity securities totaling €317 million (Q1/2021: €530 million).

In the first quarter of 2022, finance costs were primarily impacted by losses from disposals and fair value adjustments of equity securities amounting to €318 million (Q1/2021: €161 million).

(M) Business Combinations

Taulia

On January 27, 2022, SAP announced its intent to acquire a majority stake of Taulia, a leading provider of working capital management solutions. The acquisition closed in March 2022, following satisfaction of customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. The acquisition is expected to further expand SAP's business network capabilities and strengthen SAP's solutions for the CFO office. Consideration transferred amounted to approx. €0.7 billion. As a result of the preliminary purchase price allocation, mainly goodwill of approximately €0.5 billion and intangible assets of €0.2 billion have been recorded.

As the Taulia acquisition closed only shortly before March 31, 2022, we are still in the process of identifying and measuring the Taulia opening balance sheet assets and liabilities. Thus, the accounting for the Taulia acquisition is incomplete. This relates primarily to intangible assets and tax assets and liabilities but also to the accounting for the supply chain financing transactions offered by Taulia. The supply chain financing related assets and liabilities are included in SAP's consolidated "Trade and other receivables" as well as current "Financial liabilities" (March 31, 2022: approximately €2.6 billion each). In general, the funds received by Taulia from the banks participating in the financing transactions as investors are classified as "financing cash flow," and the cash routed through Taulia upon settlement of the receivables subject to supply chain financing on the maturity date are classified as "investing cash flow".

(N) Share Buyback

In the first three months of 2022, we acquired 5.7 million treasury shares totaling €581 million. We intend to complete the share buyback program of up to €1.0 billion in 2022.

(O) Share Based Payments

Starting in 2022, most of the granted share units under the Move SAP plan will vest after a waiting period of six months and ratably thereafter for ten quarters. Under our previous policy, we serviced obligations arising from the plan with cash payments, but we have since decided to settle future share units predominantly in shares.

In the first three months of 2022, we granted 14.8 million (Q1/2021: 9.6 million) share units. This includes 13.9 million (Q1/2021: 0) share units which we intend to settle in shares. The dilutive effect of outstanding equity-settled share units is reflected in the calculation of earnings per share, diluted.

Obligations from outstanding share units granted before 2022 under the Move SAP plan will continue to be settled in cash and the settlement methods of SAP's other plans remain unchanged.

Under the Own SAP plan, employees can purchase, on a monthly basis, SAP shares without any required holding period. As part of SAP's 50th anniversary celebration SAP's contribution was doubled from 40% to 80% from January to March 2022. The number of shares purchased by our employees under this plan was 2.2 million in the first three months of 2022 (Q1/2021: 1.5 million).

(P) Income Tax Related Litigation

We are subject to ongoing tax audits by domestic and foreign tax authorities. Currently, we are in dispute mainly with the German and only a few foreign tax authorities. The German dispute is in respect of certain secured capital investments, while the few foreign disputes are in respect of the deductibility of intercompany royalty payments and intercompany

services. In all cases, we expect that a favorable outcome can only be achieved through litigation. For all 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 court, we would expect to have an additional expense of approximately €1,505 million (2021: €1,283 million) in total (including related interest expenses and penalties of approximately €811 million (2021: €677 million)). The contingent liabilities increased in 2022 mainly due to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
