On July 21, 2022, SAP SE, (“SAP"), issued a quarterly statement (the “Quarterly Statement”) announcing SAP’s financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022. The Quarterly Statement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
On July 26, 2022, SAP filed a half-year report with Deutsche Boerse AG for the first half ended June 30, 2022 (the “Half-Year Report”). The Half-Year Report is attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
The Quarterly Statement and the Half-Year Report disclose certain non-IFRS measures. These measures are not prepared in accordance with IFRS and are therefore considered non-IFRS financial measures. The non-IFRS financial measures that we report should be considered in addition to, and not as substitutes for or superior to, revenue, operating income, cash flows, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Please refer to Explanations of Non-IFRSMeasures online (www.sap.com/about/investor/index.epx) for further information regarding the non-IFRS measures.
Any statements contained in this document that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements as defined in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "intend," "may," "plan," "project," "predict," "should" and "will" and similar expressions as they relate to SAP are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. SAP undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations. The factors that could affect SAP's future financial results are discussed more fully in SAP's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including SAP's most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their dates.

The Q1-Q2 2022 results were also impacted by other effects. For details, please refer to the disclosures on page 31 of this document.
FinancialHighlights
Current cloud backlog exceeded €10 billion for the first time and was up 34% to €10.40 billion and up 25% at constant currencies, accelerating from 23% at constant currencies in the first quarter and demonstrating a strong foundation of future cloud revenue.
Driven by double-digit growth across the SaaS and PaaS portfolio, cloud revenue was up 34% to €3.06 billion, up 24% at constant currencies.
Our cloud gross margin was up 2.3 percentage points to 69.8% (IFRS) and up 1.8 percentage points to 71.9% (non-IFRS). This was driven by a strong increase in our SaaS margin, despite increased investments into our next generation cloud delivery program. Revenue growth, alongside cloud gross margin expansion, drove strong cloud gross profit growth of 39% (IFRS), 38% (non-IFRS) and 28% (non-IFRS at constant currencies).
IFRS operating profit decreased 32% to €673 million and IFRS operating margin decreased by 5.8 percentage points to 8.9%. Non-IFRS operating profit was down 13% to €1.68 billion and decreased 16% at constant currencies. Non-IFRS operating margin decreased by 6.5 percentage points to 22.4% and was down by 5.8 percentage points at constant
4/31

currencies. This was mainly driven by reduced contribution from software licenses revenue, as well as significant bad debt expenses related to the war in Ukraine. In addition, IFRS operating profit was affected by restructuring expenses of €130 million, primarily incurred due to the exit from Russia and Belarus. Estimated immediate financial impacts of the war in Ukraine lowered IFRS operating profit growth by 28 percentage points, non-IFRS operating profit growth by 8 percentage points and non-IFRS operating profit growth at constant currencies by 6 percentage points.
IFRS earnings per share decreased 75% to €0.29 and non-IFRS earnings per share decreased 45% to €0.96. The year-over-year decline of earnings per share reflects a contribution to financial income by Sapphire Ventures that, due to current market conditions, was lower than in the same period last year. Our effective tax rate was 62.2% (IFRS) and 29.3% (non-IFRS). The year-over-year effective tax rate increase mainly resulted from changes in tax exempt income and non-deductible expenses. For non-IFRS, the changes in non-deductible expenses do not apply due to respective adjustments of pre-tax figures.
Free cash flow for the first six months was down 36% to €2.08 billion. The decrease versus last year is mainly attributable to the development of profitability and impacts from working capital due to SAP’s continuing move to the cloud. In the second half-year, we expect a more favorable cash flow development due to lower cash taxes and better profitability. We are therefore reiterating our free cash flow outlook for the year.
On January 13, SAP announced a new share repurchase program to support the transition of SAP’s share-based compensation programs to equity settlement, which was completed on April 29. SAP had repurchased 10,004,763 shares at an average price of €99.63 with a purchased value of approximately €997 million. In addition, on July 21, SAP announced another share buyback program of approximately €500 million. Repurchased shares will primarily be used to service awards granted under share-based compensation plans for employees.
Impactof War in Ukraine
In the first six months, SAP’s business was impacted by the war in Ukraine and SAP’s decision to wind down its business operations in Russia and Belarus.
In the second quarter current cloud backlog was approximately €64 million lower due to the termination of existing cloud engagements, reducing current cloud backlog growth by approximately 1 percentage point at constant currencies. IFRS and non-IFRS operating profit were lowered mainly due to reduced software licenses and support revenues and bad debt reserves recorded on trade receivables. IFRS operating profit was additionally affected by restructuring expenses of approximately €120 million incurred due to severance payments to employees in Russia and Belarus and further impairments of assets. The increase of restructuring expenses versus prior expectations is due to the appreciation of the Russian ruble over the past quarter. The overall impact on IFRS operating profit was approximately €280 million (first six months: approximately €350 million) and on non-IFRS operating profit approximately €160 million (first six months: approximately €230 million).
For the fiscal year, we expect a total revenue impact of approximately €300 million at constant currencies from lack of new business and discontinuation of existing business. For non-IFRS operating profit we expect an impact of approximately €350 million at constant currencies from the revenue gaps mentioned above and other expense items.
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.

SegmentResults 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.
In addition, certain marketing costs that we primarily incur for product and solution-specific activities in the Applications, Technology & Services segment are now presented in the results of this segment and are no longer allocated to SAP’s corporate functions.

^1^Segment 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 11% to €7.11 billion year over year, up 4% at constant currencies. Segment performance was mainly due to strong Cloud Revenue growth, driven by 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 5% to €2.98 billion year over year and flat at constant currencies.
6/31

Qualtrics
Qualtrics segment revenue was up 57% to €330 million year over year, up 39% at constant currencies. The continued strong growth was driven by robust renewal rates and expansions. LINE Plus, Merck KGaA, the New York City Department of Education, PGA TOUR, PNC Financial Services Group, Progress Residential, Scarlet Health, Tata Digital, Toyota North America, and Venues NSW, among others, selected Qualtrics Experience Management Solutions.
| BusinessOutlook 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.
FinancialOutlook
For 2022, SAP now expects:
| · | €7.6<br> – 7.9 billion non-IFRS operating profit at constant currencies (2021: €8.23 billion),<br> down 4% to 8% at constant currencies. The updated non-IFRS operating profit outlook range<br> reflects the expected 2022 non-IFRS operating profit impact of approximately €350 million<br> at constant currencies from the war in Ukraine and a potential continued marked decline of<br> software licenses revenue. The previous range was €7.8 – 8.25 billion at constant<br> currencies. |
|---|
Despite the expected total revenue impact of approximately €300 million at constant currencies of the war in Ukraine and a further accelerated move of our customers from upfront software licenses revenue to the cloud in the current macro-environment, SAP continues to expect for 2022:
| · | €11.55<br> – 11.85 billion cloud revenue at constant currencies (2021: €9.42 billion), up<br> 23% to 26% at constant currencies. |
|---|---|
| · | €25.0<br> – 25.5 billion cloud and software revenue at constant currencies (2021: €24.08<br> billion), up 4% to 6% at constant currencies. |
| --- | --- |
| · | The<br> share of more predictable revenue (defined as the total of cloud revenue and software support<br> revenue) is expected to reach approximately 78% (2021: 75%). |
| --- | --- |
| · | Free<br> cash flow above €4.5 billion (2021: €5.01 billion). |
| --- | --- |
SAP is also updating its full-year 2022 effective tax rate outlook (IFRS) to 34.0% to 38.0% (previously: 28.0% to 32.0%). The adjustment mainly results from an updated projection of non-deductible expenses and of the lower 2022 financial income contribution of Sapphire Ventures given current market conditions. As the updated non-deductible expenses are not included in non-IFRS, SAP continues to anticipate a full-year 2022 effective tax rate (non-IFRS) of 23.0% to 27.0% but expects to be at the upper end of this range.
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 Q3 and FY 2022 expected currency impacts.

SAP now expects the Employee Engagement Index to be in a range of 80% to 84% in 2022 (previously: 84% to 86%).

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 Measuresonline.

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 on March 9, 2022, following satisfaction of customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals; the operating results and assets and liabilities are reflected in our consolidated financial statements starting on that date. 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 €0.7 billion.
In the second quarter Taulias contribution to revenue was approx. €16 million, to operating profit approx. -€12 million (IFRS) and approx. -€6 million (Non-IFRS).
For more information about Business Combinations, see the Notes to the 2022 Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements Note (D.1.).
| (N) | Share Buyback |
|---|
In the second quarter of 2022, we acquired 4.3 million treasury shares totaling €419 million and thus completed the 2022 share buyback program.
| (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 six months of 2022, we granted 16.8 million (first six months of 2021: 11.2 million) share units. This includes 14.3 million (first six months of 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 4.6 million in the first six months of 2022 (first six month of 2021: 2.9 million).

ConsolidatedHalf-Year Management Report
Strategy & Business Model
SAP continues to execute on the strategy and business model as described in the SAP Integrated Report 2021to “REINVENT how the world runs as a network of intelligent, sustainable enterprises.”
Our Product Strategy
SAP has the technologies, products, footprint, and experience to combine four essential end-to-end business processes to create not just one intelligent enterprise, but a global ecosystem of intelligent enterprises. Those processes – Recruit to Retire, Source to Pay, Design to Operate, and Lead to Cash – are supported by our products.
The most prominent building blocks of our product portfolio are SAP S/4 HANA Cloud, SAP SuccessFactors Human Experience Management(HXM) Suite, our Intelligent Spend Management program, SAP Customer Experience (CX) solutions, SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP), industry cloud, SAP Business Network, our BusinessProcess Intelligence (BPI) application portfolio, and our sustainability management solutions.
Innovations in the first half of 2022
At our flagship conference SAP Sapphire, we announced four key areas of innovation: building resilient supply chains and business networks, enabling business process transformation, moving from talk to action on sustainability, and accelerating innovation with no-code and low-code application development, process automation, data, and artificial intelligence (AI).
This section summarizes SAP’s product development and services innovation for the first half of 2022 and is intended to supplement the SAP Integrated Report 2021.
SAP S/4HANA Cloud
In May 2022, SAP S/4HANA Cloud was named a leader in both the Operational ERP and Manufacturing ERP Applications categories by the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide SaaS and Cloud-Enabled 2022 Vendor Assessments. At SAP Sapphire, SAP announced the launch of SAP Digital Manufacturing Cloud, a solution designed to help customers optimize manufacturing performance by integrating production execution, visibility, and analysis. Additionally, SAP and Apple have expanded their partnership and released a new suite of iOS applications designed to streamline the digital supply chain and equip workers with intuitive tools.
Human Experience Management
The SAP SuccessFactors Compensation solution features new reward and recognition capabilities including mass uploads, custom points, and multiple wallets. In addition, new mobile functionality aims to enable employees to navigate to and review details for online courses in the SAP SuccessFactors Learning solution, and to explore mentor programs in the SAP SuccessFactors Opportunity Marketplacesolution.
4/57

Intelligent Spend Management
New product sourcing solutions from SAP that run natively on SAP S/4HANA are now available to help companies in the automotive and industrial machinery and components (IM&C) industries. These solutions aim to enable companies to collaborate more effectively with suppliers to plan and execute direct materials sourcing and procurement programs.
Customer Experience
SAP launched a new API-first, microservices-based SAP Service Cloud solution that aims to bring seamless end-user experiences and improved flexibility with built-in low-code/no-code tools. Furthermore, we continue to invest in our SAP Commerce Cloud solution, delivering on the following improvements and features in Release 2205: in-the-moment personalization capabilities, improved usability for business users, and extensibility features that allow businesses to deliver ‘commerce everywhere’ experiences.
SAP Business Technology Platform
SAP BusinessTechnology Platform is a unified technology platform that brings together capabilities across application development, data and analytics, integration, and AI. This platform aims to help developers, business users, and our ecosystem store and manage data, derive insights, and build, extend, and integrate applications. SAP BTP also serves to optimize and automate business processes in and beyond SAP landscapes.
Recent innovations include faster no-code application development capabilities and deeper integration with SAP applications through the SAP AppGyvertool, as well as new SAP Process Automation capabilities to further simplify how business users collaborate with developers to build and customize automations. Additionally, new AI-powered innovations enable customers to benefit from ready-to-use intelligence to transform core business processes. New, prebuilt industry content and APIs in SAP Integration Suite aim to help customers across all industries simplify integration between applications.
SAP Business Network
A new feature on SAP Business Network enables suppliers to complete a human rights self-assessment to demonstrate compliance with human rights due diligence laws, such as the German Supply Chain Act (Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz). This law goes into effect in January 2023. Buyers on the network can search, find, and engage with suppliers that have shared their self-assessment.
In March 2022, SAP acquired Taulia, a provider of working capital management solutions. With the addition of Taulia’s solutions, SAP S/4HANA Cloud and SAP Business Network can now provide end-to-end support for cash optimization and financing options for companies. For more information, see the Acquisitions section.
Furthermore, an expanded partnership between SAP and the sustainability-ratings provider EcoVadis enables trading partners to add EcoVadis sustainability medals to their marketing profiles on the SAP Business Network. This allows buyers to assess trading partners and take immediate action as required to improve the sustainability of their value chains. Taulia has also partnered with EcoVadis to give SAP customers a way to create financial incentives for their suppliers to become ESG-rated.
Business Process Intelligence
In March 2022, SAP announced that the SAP Signavio brand will represent its portfolio of business process management solutions going forward. SAP also announced the general availability of journey to process analytics. This offering aims to give companies a better understanding of their end-to-end business processes by correlating experience data from Qualtrics user surveys with operational data from underlying IT systems.
5/57

Sustainable Business Solutions and Services
SAP continues to innovate across key areas of enterprise sustainability management, carbon data exchange, and circular and regenerative business. SAP Cloud for Sustainable Enterprises, launched in January 2022, is a broad portfolio of solutions designed to enable companies to measure, manage, and optimize their sustainability performance based on a flexible implementation according to the customer’s unique sustainability requirements.
Experience Management
In the first half of 2022, Qualtrics launched XM Discover. This new set of products – deploying conversational analytics and natural language processing capabilities – aims to help organizations understand and respond to everything that is being communicated about them across every channel. Qualtrics and SAP also announced a new integration that brings the AI and machine learning capabilities of XM Discover into the SAP Service Cloud solution, whereby XM Discover analyzes all incoming feedback from structured and unstructured sources, such as agent notes, support conversations, chats, social media posts, and review sites.
Services and Support
SAP announced in April 2022 that it had simplified its cloud services and support portfolio by focusing on customer adoption and consumption. The portfolio is built for the cloud and designed to help customers realize value quickly, while achieving lasting success.
The updated portfolio aims to offer customers new experiences, extensions, and services to address their individual needs and make it easier for them to engage with SAP. SAP’s well-established offerings including SAP MaxAttention, SAP Preferred Success, and SAP Enterprise Support, to name a few, will remain and continue to evolve.
Business Conduct
We rolled out a Global AI Ethics Policy in January 2022, as we continue to integrate AI into our solutions and evolve our software development process. This policy was put in place to help ensure that our AI systems and solutions are developed, deployed, and sold in line with the ethical standards laid out in our guiding principles. The policy also complements existing guiding principles regarding AI and will ensure that the use of AI at SAP is governed by clearly defined rules of ethics.
Our Investments in Innovation
Investment in R&D
SAP’s strong commitment to R&D is reflected in our expenditures (see the graphic below).

6/57

In the first half of 2022, our IFRS R&D ratio, reflecting R&D expenses as a portion of total operating expenses, increased one percentage point (pp) to 23% (first half of 2021: 22%). Our non-IFRS R&D ratio remained constant at 24% year over year. At the end of the first half of 2022, our total full-time equivalent (FTE) headcount in development was 32,945 (first half of 2021: 30,672). Measured in FTEs, our R&D headcount was 30% of total headcount (first half of 2021: 30%).
Competitive Intangibles
Some of the resources that are the basis for our current as well as future success, such as our ability to innovate, software we developed ourselves, customer capital, our employees and their knowledge and skills, our ecosystem of partners, and the brands we have built up, do not appear in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. This is apparent from a comparison of the market capitalization of SAP SE with the carrying amount of our equity. With a market capitalization of €106.8 billion at the end of the first half of 2022, the market value of our equity (based on all outstanding shares) is more than two times higher than its carrying amount.
SAP was recognized as the world’s 31st most valuable brand in the 2022 BrandZ Global Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands ranking (2021: 26). The ranking estimates SAP’s brand value at US$69 billion, unchanged from the prior year.
Acquisitions
On March 10, 2022, 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 capabilities and strengthens SAP’s solutions for the CFO office by providing working capital management cloud solutions. For more information, see the Notes to the Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements, Note (D.1).
FinancialPerformance: Review and Analysis
Economy and the Market
Global Economic Trends
During the first half of 2022, global economic activity moderated, reports the European Central Bank (ECB) in its most recent Economic Bulletin.^1^Thus, it has revised its earlier projections from the beginning of the year downward.
In particular, the consequences of the war in Ukraine reach well beyond those countries and regions that are closely associated with Russia and Ukraine: it has disrupted trade and led to shortages of materials. Prices for energy, commodities, and food have increased strongly, causing inflation pressures to broaden and intensify.
As for the pandemic, following a brief easing of the pandemic at the beginning of the year, monetary policy normalized in many countries and contributed to tighter financial conditions. Renewed pandemic restrictions in China, however, disrupted economic activity again, particularly in Asia, and put pressure on global supply chains. Commodity prices remain volatile and subject to supply risks.
7/57

The IT Market
In the middle of 2022, “demand from enterprises and service providers for IT investments remains strong,” finds International Data Corporation (IDC), a U.S.-based market research firm.^2^ At the same time, “inflation is already having some impact on consumer IT markets” and “IT supply chain disruptions continue to heavily concern businesses.” According to IDC, “Broader geopolitical and societal issues, such as the war [in Ukraine], labor shortage, and the continuation of the pandemic are also cited as concerns by most companies.”
In the first half of 2022, “software [was] still utilized as a direct driver of cost saving measures” and was “less susceptible to inflationary forces,” finds IDC. Therefore, currently, “demand is extremely strong” with “cloud as an operating and business model […] reshaping the fundamentals of the IT industry.” This is in accordance with IDC’s projections that we referred to in our Integrated Report 2021. However, IDC also points out that “IT services show signs of impact from wage expectations/labor costs.”

Impact on SAP
In the first six months, SAP continued strong execution of its strategy. In particular, cloud and software revenue accelerated due to the strong performance of SaaS/PaaS solutions, with a return to growth in the Intelligent Spend category. Cloud revenue has now become the largest revenue stream. A further sign of the success of SAP’s strategy is the continued growth of current cloud backlog (CCB), exceeding the €10 billion mark for the first time. As expected, software licenses and support revenue experienced a further decrease as more customers move to SAP’s cloud subscription offerings.
At the same time, SAP’s business was negatively impacted by the war in Ukraine and the decision to wind down its business operations in Russia and Belarus. In the first quarter, CCB was lower than expected due to the termination of existing cloud engagements from Russian cloud contracts, whereas in the second quarter, CCB reaccelerated again due to continued strong momentum in new cloud order intake outside the region. IFRS and non-IFRS operating profit declined in both the first and second quarter mainly due to reduced software licenses and support revenues and bad debt reserves recorded on trade receivables. As a result, non-IFRS operating profit was down 8% year over year in the first half year. IFRS operating profit was additionally affected by restructuring expenses mainly incurred due to severance payments to employees in Russia and Belarus and to impairments of assets. As at the end of the second quarter of 2022, SAP has absorbed the main impact of the exit from this market. Also, free cash flow for the first six months declined versus 2021. This is mainly attributable to the development of profitability and impacts from working capital due to SAP’s continuing transition to the cloud.

Performance (IFRS and Non-IFRS)
As at June 30, 2022, CCB (non-IFRS) was €10,403 million (first half of 2021: €7,766 million), an increase of 34% year over year (25% at constant currencies). Thereof, our SAP S/4HANA CCB (non-IFRS) was €2,258 million as at June 30, 2022, an increase of 100% year over year (87% at constant currencies). CCB (non-IFRS) decreased approximately €64 million as at June 30, 2022 due to the termination of existing cloud engagements in Russia and Belarus, dampening CCB growth by approximately 1pp at constant currencies.
Our cloud revenue (IFRS) was €5,876 million (first half of 2021: €4,421 million), an increase of 33% (25% at constant currencies, non-IFRS) compared to the same period in 2021. Thereof, our SAP S/4HANA cloud revenue (IFRS) was €876 million (first half of 2021: €485 million), an increase of 81% (71% at constant currencies, non-IFRS). Our cloud gross margin (IFRS) increased 1.7pp to 69.0% (first half of 2021: 67.3%). Our cloud gross margin (non-IFRS) increased 1.2pp to 71.0% (first half of 2021: 69.8%).
9/57

Cloud and software revenue (IFRS) was €12,519 million (first half of 2021: €11,178 million), an increase of 12%. On a constant currency basis (non-IFRS), the increase was 6%. This increase was mainly driven by cloud revenue growth. Software licenses revenue (IFRS) decreased 34% (38% at constant currencies, non-IFRS) as more customers selected SAP’s cloud offerings such as RISE with SAP. Software support revenue (IFRS) was €5,900 million (first half of 2021: €5,624 million), an increase of 5% (flat at constant currencies, non-IFRS).
Services revenue (IFRS) was €2,075 million (first half of 2021: €1,839 million), an increase of 13% (7% at constant currencies, non-IFRS).
Total revenue (IFRS) was €14,594 million (first half of 2021: €13,017 million), an increase of 12% (6% at constant currencies, non-IFRS).
Operating Expense (IFRS)
Our operating expenses increased 16% to €12,868 million (first half of 2021: €11,073 million) mainly due to accelerated investments for example into research & development and sales and marketing to capture future growth opportunities and Russia exit costs.
Cost of cloud increased 28%, also related to customers migrating from on premise to cloud, mainly to our RISE with SAP offerings. Additionally, we continued to invest in our next generation cloud delivery program. The cost of software licenses and support decreased 10%, mainly due to software revenue decline across all the regions. The cost of services increased 15%, as COVID-19-related travel restrictions were eased across the globe and personal customer visits and on-site trainings were possible again.
In the first half of 2022, restructuring costs amounted to €119 million (first half of 2021: €164 million) mainly due to a new restructuring program we launched in the second quarter to further advance our structured exit from Russia and Belarus. The restructuring expenses mainly relate to severance payments to employees in Russia and Belarus and further impairments of assets, such as data center equipment, right-of-use assets for leased office buildings, and capitalized sales commissions. The increase of restructuring expenses versus prior expectations is due to the appreciation of the Russian ruble over the past quarter. For more information about restructuring, see the Notes to the Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements, Note (B.4).
Share-based payment expenses decreased to €1,184 million (first half of 2021: €1,256 million), mainly due to the SAP share price drop. For more information about share-based payment expenses, see the Notes to the Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements, Note (B.3).
Operating Expense (Non-IFRS)
Operating expenses (non-IFRS) were €11,236 million (first half of 2021: €9,357 million), an increase of 20% (13% on a constant currency basis). The operating expenses (non-IFRS) were mainly impacted by the same effects as described above in the “Operating Expense (IFRS)” section, except for restructuring expenses and share-based payments.
Operating Profit and Operating Margin (IFRS)
Compared with the same period in the previous year, our operating profit decreased €219 million to €1,726 million (first half of 2021: €1,944 million), a decrease of 11%. This decrease was mainly driven by reduced software licenses and support revenues across predominately all regions as well as bad debt reserves recorded on trade receivables, mainly in Russia and Belarus. For more information about trade and other receivables, see the Notes to the Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements, Note (A.2). Operating profit was also affected by restructuring expenses as described above in the “Operating Expense (IFRS)” section. The overall impact of the war in Ukraine on IFRS operating profit was approximately €350 million and lowered the IFRS operating profit growth by approximately 18pp.
Our operating margin decreased 3.1pp to 11.8% (first half of 2021: 14.9%).
10/57

Operating Profit and Operating Margin (Non-IFRS)
Operating profit (non-IFRS) was €3,358 million (first half of 2021: €3,660 million), a decrease of 8%. On a constant currency basis, the decrease was 12%. The operating profit (non-IFRS) was negatively impacted by the same effects as described above in the “Operating Profit and Operating Margin (IFRS)” section, except for restructuring expenses. The overall impact of the war in Ukraine on operating profit (non-IFRS) was approximately €230 million and lowered the operating profit growth (non-IFRS) by approximately 6pp (approximately 5pp at constant currencies).
Operating margin (non-IFRS) was 23.0%, a decrease of 5.1pp, or 4.8pp on a constant currency basis (first half of 2021: 28.1%).
Profit After Tax and Earnings per Share (IFRS)
Profit after tax was €835 million (first half of 2021: €2,519 million), a decrease of 67% compared to the same period in 2021. Basic earnings per share was €0.92 (first half of 2021: €2.03), a decrease of 55% mainly reflecting a contribution to financial income by Sapphire Ventures that was lower than over the same period in 2021 based on current market conditions.
The effective tax rate was 43.7% (first half of 2021: 19.8%). The year-over-year increase mainly resulted from changes in tax-exempt income and nondeductible expenses. Furthermore, the prior year’s effective tax rate was positively impacted by a one-time change in deferred tax liabilities for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries.
Profit After Tax and Earnings per Share (Non-IFRS)
Profit after tax (non-IFRS) was €2,259 million (first half of 2021: €3,934 million), a decrease of 43%. Basic earnings per share (non-IFRS) was €1.96 (first half of 2021: €3.14), a decrease of 37% mainly resulting from a contribution to financial income by Sapphire Ventures that was lower than over the same period in 2021 based on current market conditions.
The effective tax rate (non-IFRS) was 27.5% (first half of 2021: 19.0%). The year-over-year increase mainly resulted from changes in tax-exempt income. Furthermore, the prior year’s effective tax rate was positively impacted by a one-time change in deferred tax liabilities for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries.

Segment Information
At the end of the first half of 2022, SAP had five operating segments: the Applications, Technology & Services segment, the Qualtrics segment, the Emarsys segment, the SAP Signavio segment, and the Taulia segment. Due to their size, however, Emarsys, SAP Signavio, and Taulia are non-reportable segments.
For more information about our segment reporting and the changes in the composition of our segments in the first half of 2022, see the Notes to the Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements, Notes (C.1) and (C.2).

| Segment<br> margin (in %) | 30.1 | 30.4 | 36.1 | –6.1pp | –5.7pp |
In the first half of 2022, the Applications, Technology & Services segment significantly increased its cloud revenue by 29.5% (21.8% at constant currencies), driven by a strong performance of SAP S/4HANA and SAP Business Technology Platform. At the same time, the cloud gross margin slightly increased 0.7pp (1.1pp at constant currencies). Software support revenue increased 4.9% (0.4% at constant currencies), whereas software licenses revenue decreased 34.6% (37.7% at constant currencies) to €740 million. Consequently, the Applications, Technology & Services segment achieved a total software licenses and support revenue of €6,640 million, declining 1.7% (5.9%at constant currencies). While total segment revenue increased 10.3% (4.7% at constant currencies) to €13,804 million, total segment expenses grew 20.8% to €9,655 million, leading to a decrease in the segment margin of 6.1pp (5.7pp at constant currencies) to 30.1%. Overall, the revenue share of more predictable revenue streams in this segment increased 3.4pp from 77.0% in the first half of 2021 to 80.4% in the first half of 2022.

The Qualtrics segment, which comprises SAP’s experience management solutions, closed the first half of 2022 with strong growth in total segment revenue of 57.4% (43.3% at constant currencies). The positive development was mainly influenced by the strong cloud revenue growth of 64.6% (50.0% at
12/57

constant currencies) to €548 million. The cloud gross margin decreased 3.2pp (3.3pp at constant currencies) to 89.1%. Overall, the Qualtrics segment profit increased 1.5% (16.7% at constant currencies) to €26 million in the first half of 2022. The corresponding segment margin decreased 2.2pp (1.2pp at constant currencies) to 4.1%. Overall, the revenue share of more predictable revenue streams in this segment increased 3.7pp from 80.7% in the first half of 2021 to 84.4% in the first half of 2022.

Employeesand Social Investments
Globalization, demographic change, and increasing digitalization are constantly changing the way we work. At the same time, workers’ attitudes and expectations of their working environments and of their employer have shifted, and the competition for top talent has intensified. A new era in the way we work has begun. For a detailed description of our People Strategy, see the Employees and Social Investments section in our Integrated Report 2021.
To remain successful in this new environment, retain the best staff, and attract new employees, SAP has rolled out Pledge to Flex, a hybrid working model that empowers employees to balance when, how, and where they work best, considering business requirements and local legislation. At the same time, the approach aims to foster easy and smooth collaboration, regardless of where our people are located. With this commitment, we continue to put focus on our employees’ health and well-being, complementing other initiatives specific to mental health and burnout. Further, we not only see great potential in upgrading our work environment but also in upskilling our employees as we accelerate to the cloud.
Our SAP Learning organization partnered with the SAP Corporate Social Responsibility (SAP CSR) team to create OpportunityFor All, providing scholarships to Ukrainian refugees and certifications to underrepresented youth in 2023. We will donate one scholarship for every 50,000 hours of internal learning completed and one certification voucher for every employee who completes 50 hours of learning in 2022. With over 1.6 million hours of learning completed to date, we are halfway towards our scholarship goal of 2.5 million hours. In late 2021, we also brought together our portfolio of well-established learning offerings and launched the SAP LearningSite training platform for learners in our ecosystem to cultivate and stay current on SAP skills. In May, we announced freeaccess for all academic students to tailored learning resources and experiences in the “student zone” of SAP Learning Site. To support the growing need for accelerated app development by non-technical users, we also added additional free learningjourneys, including an enhanced learning journey that prepares users for new certifications in low-code/no-code skills.
We truly believe that our people are the heart of our organization. Therefore, in light of Russia’s ongoing and unjustified waragainst Ukraine, SAP has stepped up, over and above its responsibility as an employer. In this situation, safety and protection of our employees in the region is of utmost importance. For employees and their families who chose to leave Ukraine, SAP provided logistical support to try and make this incredibly difficult step as easy as possible. We also offered financial support for Ukrainian employees – whether they decided to stay or leave the country.
Looking at our people-related KPIs, the Employee Engagement Index comes in at 81%, a slight decrease of 2pp compared to the 83% published in our Integrated Report 2021. Our Leadership Trust Net Promoter Score, meanwhile, reached a new all-time high of 71 in the first six months of 2022 (+4 points). Finally, the Business Health Culture Index remains strong at 81%. At the end of the first half of 2022, SAP’s Employee Retention Rate was still high at 91.6% (compared to 94.8% at the end of the first half of 2021 and 92.8% at the end of 2021). We define retention as the ratio of the average number of employees minus the employees who voluntarily departed, to the average number of employees (in full-time equivalents, FTEs). We also continue to foster an inclusive, bias-free workforce. The ratio of Women in Management continued its upward trend, reaching 28.8% at the end of the first half of 2022 compared to 27.9% at the end of June 2021 and 28.3% at the end of 2021. On June 30, 2022, we had 110,409 FTEs worldwide (June 30, 2021: 103,876; December 31, 2021: 107,415). For a breakdown of headcount by function and geography, see the Notes to the Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements, Note (B.1).

Energyand Emissions
In the first half of 2022, we continued our commitment to help rebuild a more resilient, restorative, and inclusive economy within the planetary boundaries – both as an enabler and exemplar. To prevent further irreversible damage from climate change, we accelerated our commitment to net-zero and are now aiming to achieve net-zero along our value chain in line with a 1.5°C future in 2030 – 20 years earlier than originally targeted. Net-zero by 2030 is also one of the key pillars of our recently updated Global Environmental Policy which aims to promote nature-positive mechanisms and behaviors in our day-to-day operations, such as minimizing greenhouse gas emissions, reducing water consumption, eliminating electronic waste, accelerating innovations, and cultivating employee awareness.
The transition to a circular economy remains central to our vision for a world of zero waste and plastic free oceans by 2030. We formed a Circular Economy partnership with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation to deliver regenerative business, and joined the Partnership for Carbon Transparency (PACT) under the leadership of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development to foster cross-industry transparency on greenhouse gas emissions and corporate climate accountability. Our continued journey towards planting 21 million trees by the end of 2025 is another invaluable cornerstone in maintaining the health and stability of our planet.
In addition, we further strengthened and scaled our vital global sustainability ecosystem by adding new partnerships, such as with the BostonConsulting Group, Bearing Point, and EcoVadis.
To help our customers achieve zero waste, zero emissions, and zero inequality, we offer a comprehensive portfolio of sustainable business solutions. For more information, see the Our Product Strategy section in this consolidated Half-Year Management Report.
SAP’s carbon emissions for the first half of 2022 totaled 45 kilotons (kt), the same amount as in the first half of 2021. Even though we have continued our strategic avoid - reduce - compensate approach, the emission level has not decreased as expected due to a strong resurgence in business travel activities. To gain insight into our efficiency as we grow, we also measure our emissions per employee and per euro of revenue. At the end of the first half of 2022, our carbon emissions (in tons) per employee was 1.0 (compared to 0.9 tons at the end of the first half of 2021), and our carbon emissions (in grams) per euro revenue was 3.6 (compared to 3.6 grams at the end of the first half of 2021) (rolling four quarters).
SAP’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) efforts – along with its measures, initiatives, and targets – have been recognized by the world’s most trusted business sustainability ratings and ranking organizations:
| – | SAP<br> received the top score in all three ESG quality dimensions by the Institutional Shareholder<br> Services (ISS) ESG, upholding its prime status (B rating). As a result, SAP is among the<br> top percentile. |

RiskManagement and Risks
We have comprehensive risk-management structures in place that are intended to enable us to recognize and analyze risks early on, take the appropriate action, and mitigate any risks that materialize as presented in the Risk Management and Riskschapter in our Integrated Report 2021 and our Annual Report on Form 20-F for 2021.
In this section, we present relevant changes and new developments with regards to our risk factors. For changes in our Litigation, Claims, and Legal Contingencies since our last Integrated Report, see the Notes to the Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements, Note (G.1).
| Probability | Impact | Risk<br> Level | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Global<br> Economic & Political Environment | |||
| Integrated<br> Report 2021 | Likely | Major | Medium |
| Half-Year<br> Report 2022 | Likely | Business-Critical | High |
| Cybersecurity<br> and Security | |||
| Integrated<br> Report 2021 | Likely | Business-Critical | High |
| Half-Year<br> Report 2022 | Likely | Business-Critical | High |
GlobalEconomic & Political Environment
An increase in the risks aggregated under the Global Economic & Political risk factor was anticipated in the Integrated Report 2021. This has now materialized as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and SAP’s subsequent exit from the Russian and Belarus market and the continued global COVID-19 pandemic impacts. Both factors have fueled and are continuing to fuel increasing worldwide inflation. These, together with continued world-wide supply chain challenges, could lead to economic recession in certain countries, regions, or even globally. We have identified and partly completed certain additional mitigation steps.
We have raised our estimate of the potential impact of this risk factor to business-critical. The probability of its occurrence remains likely. We cannot exclude the possibility that if these risks were to occur, they could have a business-critical impact on our operations, financial position, profit, and cash flows. We classify this risk factor as high.
Cybersecurityand Security
SAP continuously assesses cybersecurity risks and evaluates the security risks impacted by Russia's invasion of Ukraine specifically for SAP's gradual exit from Russia and Belarus. SAP recognizes the potential increase in cybersecurity threats following SAP's exit. SAP experienced increased cyberattacks against SAP's customers, suppliers and partners - including attacks on networks, devices, and cloud infrastructure that impact critical infrastructures - which could have an impact on SAP as a provider. Given the increasing frequency and severity of cyberattacks involving SAP, to its customers and suppliers, the potential impact of this risk factor remains business-critical with a probability of likely. Therefore, SAP continues to classify this as a high risk.
Risk ManagementAssessment
Based on our aggregation approach and taking into consideration the mitigations implemented for all our risk factors and risks, we subsequently see no material change relative to our 2022 risk assessment or 2022 risk-bearing capacity. We do not believe that any of the risks we identified in our Integrated Report 2021 and Annual Report on Form 20-F for 2021, and as outlined in the update above, jeopardize our ability to continue as a going concern.

ExpectedDevelopments and Opportunities
Future Trends in the Global Economy
There will be two key headwinds to worldwide economic activity in the near term, predicts the ECB in its latest Economic Bulletin^1^: the war in Ukraine and renewed pandemic containment measures in China. The ECB expects these factors to lead to a much weaker, though still positive growth for the remaining part of 2022.
These headwinds are likely to result in supply chain disruptions, shortages of materials, and high prices for energy and commodities. However, the ECB expects the negative impacts to dissipate after 2022, enabling economic growth above historical-average rates in the medium term. Positive impact might result from the reopening of those sectors most affected by the pandemic, a strong labor market, and savings accumulated during the pandemic which serve as a buffer.
However, inflation could remain elevated for some time, assumes the ECB. Therefore, it projects interest payments to increase and make the outlook more adverse. Inflation might decline only gradually over the coming years as energy costs could moderate, supply disruptions could ease after the pandemic, and monetary policy could normalize further.

TheIT Market:Outlook for 2022 and Beyond
For the remaining part of 2022, International Data Corporation (IDC), a U.S.-based market research firm^2^, expects that demand will continue to outstrip supply, but notes that “storms of disruption are influencing tech spend assumption for many businesses, with most expressing concerns regarding inflation.” At the same time, “supply is a […] constraint on short-term market growth, including for infrastructure investments.” Considering these determining factors, IDC says, “IT leaders around the world anticipate that general inflation and IT supply chain issues will alter cost assumptions” and they “are considering increasing their ICT budgets rather than delaying technology investments.”
IDC predicts that in 2023, SaaS spending will supersede spending on traditional software licenses. Correspondingly, it believes the “whole cloud share of total IT spend” will grow from 40% in 2021 to 53% in 2025.

Impacton SAP
SAP’s transformation to the cloud continues to drive opportunities for our customers. The ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties due to the war in Ukraine, recurring pandemic waves, and continued supply chain disruption are prompting many customers to reinvent how their businesses run to become more resilient and agile intelligent enterprises. Therefore, SAP is executing on its cloud-led strategy, which is driving accelerating cloud growth through both new business and cloud adoption by existing customers. Our broad solution portfolio, including our modular cloud ERP suite, SAP Business Technology Platform, our industry cloud, SAP Business Network, and our enhanced sustainability portfolio, helps to create unparalleled value not only for our customers but for our entire ecosystem. This strategy resonates with customers even in an increasingly challenging environment. With this, SAP is well positioned to capitalize on an expanding addressable market.
FinancialTargets and Prospects
Revenue and Operating Profit Targets and Prospects (Non-IFRS)
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:
| – | €7.6<br> – 7.9 billion non-IFRS operating profit at constant currencies (2021: €8.23 billion),<br> down 4% to 8% at constant currencies. The updated non-IFRS operating profit outlook range<br> reflects the expected 2022 non-IFRS operating profit impact of approximately €350 million<br> at constant currencies from the war in Ukraine and a potential continued marked decline of<br> software licenses revenue. The previous range was €7.8 – 8.25 billion at constant<br> currencies. |
|---|
Despite the expected total revenue impact of approximately €300 million at constant currencies of the war in Ukraine and a further accelerated move of our customers from upfront software licenses revenue to the cloud in the current macro-environment, SAP continues to expect for 2022:
| – | €11.55 billion<br> to €11.85 billion in cloud revenue at constant currencies (2021: €9.42 billion),<br> up 23% to 26% at constant currencies. |
|---|---|
| – | €25.0 billion<br> to €25.5 billion in cloud and software revenue at constant currencies (2021: €24.08 billion),<br> up 4% to 6% at constant currencies. |
| --- | --- |
19/57

| – | The<br> share of more predictable revenue (defined as the total of cloud revenue and software support<br> revenue) to reach approximately 78% (2021: 75%). |
|---|---|
| – | Free<br> cash flow above €4.5 billion (2021: €5.01 billion). |
| --- | --- |
| – | To<br> achieve a year-end current cloud backlog growth rate similar to 2021. |
| --- | --- |
We continuously strive for profit expansion in all of our operating segments.
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. For the third-quarter and full-year 2022 expected currency impacts, see the table below.
| Expected Currency Impact Based on June 2022 Level | ||
|---|---|---|
| In<br> percentage points | Q3 | FY |
| Cloud | 8pp<br> to 10pp | 7pp<br> to 9pp |
| Cloud<br> and software | 5pp<br> to 7pp | 4pp<br> to 6pp |
| Operating<br> profit | 3.5pp<br> to 5.5pp | 2.5pp<br> to 4.5pp |
The following table shows the estimates of the items that represent the differences between our IFRS financial measures and our non-IFRS financial measures.
Non-IFRS Measures
| €<br> millions | Estimated<br> Amounts for<br><br> Full Year 2022 | Q1–Q2 2022 | Q1–Q2<br><br> 2021 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acquisition-related<br> charges | 620–720 | 328 | 296 |
| Share-based<br><br> <br>payment<br> expenses | 2,500–2,700 | 1,184 | 1,256 |
| Restructuring | 130–150 | 119 | 164 |
SAP now expects a full-year 2022 effective tax rate (IFRS) of 34.0% to 38.0% (previously: 28.0% to 32.0%). The adjustment mainly results from an updated projection of non-deductible expenses and of the lower 2022 financial income contribution of Sapphire Ventures given current market conditions. As the updated non-deductible expenses are not included in non-IFRS, SAP continues to anticipate a full-year 2022 effective tax rate (non-IFRS) of 23.0% to 27.0% but now expects to be at the upper end of this range.
Medium-TermProspects
SAP reiterates its mid-term ambition published in its Q3 2020 Quarterly Statement including the commitment of double-digit growth of operating profit in 2023. In light of its strong cloud momentum and most recent favorable currency exchange rates development, SAP expects to update its mid-term ambition in the upcoming quarters.
The growth in cloud revenue is expected to be driven particularly by our SaaS/PaaS cloud business. In 2025, we expect cloud revenue contributions from: solutions in enterprise resource planning of more than €5.0 billion, solutions in spend management, human capital management, and SAP Business Technology Platform of more than €2.5 billion each, solutions in Customer Relationship Management of more than €1.0 billion, and SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud of more than €0.5 billion.
For a detailed description of our medium-term prospects, see our Integrated Report 2021.

Goalsfor Liquidity, Finance, and Investments
We believe that our liquid assets combined with our undrawn credit facilities are sufficient to meet our operating financing needs in the second half of 2022 as well, and, together with expected cash flows from operations, will support debt repayments and our currently planned capital expenditure requirements over the near and medium term.
In the second half-year, we expect a more favorable cash flow development due to lower cash taxes and better profitability. We are therefore reiterating our free cash flow outlook for the year to more than €4.5 billion.
Compared to what we disclosed in our Integrated Report 2021, we did not change our free cash flow expectations.
In addition to the repayment of a €900 million Eurobond in the first quarter of 2022, we intend to repay a US$445 million U.S. private placement in the fourth quarter of 2022.
As at June 30, 2022, scheduled debt repayments of around €3.5 billion until the end of 2023 are pending.
The ratio of net debt as at December 31, 2022, of around €1.6 billion divided by the total of operating profit (IFRS) plus depreciation and amortization is expected at around 0.2.
Our planned investment expenditures for 2022 and 2023, other than from business combinations, consist primarily of the purchase of IT infrastructure (such as data centers) and the construction of new buildings. Primarly driven by higher investment expenditures for IT, we now expect planned investment expenditures of slightly below €1 billion for 2022, compared to the approximately €850 million disclosed in our Integrated Report 2021. In 2023, capital expenditures are expected to return approximately to 2021 levels.
Non-FinancialGoals 2022 and Ambitions for 2025
In addition to our financial goals, we also focus on three non-financial targets: customer loyalty, employee engagement, and carbon emissions.
SAP now expects the Employee Engagement Index to be in a range of 80% to 84% in 2022 (previously: 84% to 86%).
In 2022, SAP continues to expect:
| – | A<br> Customer Net Promoter Score of 11 to 15 (2021: 10) |
|---|---|
| – | Net<br> carbon emissions of 70 kt (2021: 110 kt) |
| --- | --- |
For a detailed description of our non-financial goals for 2022 and ambitions for 2025, see our IntegratedReport 2021.
Premiseson Which Our Outlook and Prospects Are Based
In preparing our outlook and prospects, we have taken into account all events known to us at the time we prepared this report that could influence SAP’s business going forward.
Opportunities
We have comprehensive opportunity-management structures in place that are intended to enable us to recognize and analyze opportunities early and to take the appropriate action. The opportunities remain largely unchanged compared to what we disclosed in our IntegratedReport 2021.

Notesto the Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements
(IN.1)Basis for Preparation
General Information About Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements
The registered seat of SAP SE is in Walldorf, Germany (Commercial Register of the Lower Court of Mannheim HRB 719915). The condensed Consolidated Half-Year 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. In this context, IFRS includes all standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and related interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC). 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.
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 if appropriate to conform to the presentation in this half-year report.
These unaudited condensed Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with SAP’s audited Consolidated IFRS Financial Statements for the Year Ended December 31, 2021, included in our Integrated Report 2021 and our Annual Report on Form 20-F for 2021.
Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout these Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements may not add up precisely to the totals we provide and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.
Amounts
disclosed in our Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements that are taken directly from our
Consolidated Income Statements or our
Consolidated Statements of Financial Position
are marked by the symbols
and

respectively.

Accounting Policies, Management Judgments, and Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
HowWe Present Our Accounting Policies, Judgments, and Estimates
To
ease the understanding of our financial statements, we present the accounting policies, judgments, and estimates on a given subject together
with other disclosures related to the same subject in the Note that deals with this subject, and highlighted this disclosure with a light
gray box and the symbol
. We describe, however, only material changes of our accounting
policies, judgments, and estimates in relation to our Consolidated Financial Statements for 2021.
New
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
The IASB has issued amendments to standards such IAS 1 (Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current), that are relevant for SAP but not yet effective. We are currently in the process of finalizing the assessment of the impact on SAP, but do not expect material effects on our financial position or results of operations.
(IN.2)Impact of the War in Ukraine
In the first half of 2022, SAP’s business was negatively impacted by the war in Ukraine and SAP’s decision to wind down its business operations in Russia and Belarus. For more information about the impacts of the war in Ukraine and SAP’s exit from Russia and Belarus, see Note (A.2) concerning Trade and Other Receivables, *Note (B.4)*concerning Restructuring, and Note (D.2) concerning Goodwill.
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.

The significant increase in other receivables is due to the Taulia acquisition and the consolidation of its supply chain financing related assets. For more information about the Taulia acquisition and the respective accounting, see Note (D.1).

For more information about our share-based payments and a detailed description of our share-based payment plans, see the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2021, Note (B.3)**.
Restricted Stock Unit Plan Including Move SAP Plan and Grow SAP Plan (RSU Plan)
Starting in 2022, most of the granted share units under the Move SAP plan will start vesting 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 half of 2022, we granted 16.8 million (first half of 2021: 11.2 million) share units. This includes 14.3 million (first half of 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. For more information about our share buyback completed in the first half of 2022 to avoid dilution from the equity-settlement, see Note (E.1). Of the share units we intend to settle in cash, 1.1 million share units were granted in June 2022 under the Grow SAP plan (0.9 million in June 2021).
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.
Own SAP Plan (Own)
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 4.6 million in the first half of 2022 (first half of 2021: 2.9 million).
Qualtrics
In the first half of 2022, 19.3 million equity-settled Qualtrics RSU awards were granted (first half of 2021: 67.1 million) to encourage and enable Qualtrics executives and employees to acquire an ownership interest in Qualtrics.

Restructuring expenses |
–119 | –164 |
Most of the restructuring expenses presented in the first half of 2022 relate to the announced wind-down of business in Russia and Belarus. Restructuring costs mainly comprise severance payments to employees, impairments of right-of-use assets for office buildings, impairments of data center equipment, and write-offs of capitalized sales commissions. For more information about the financial impact of the war in Ukraine, see Note (IN.2).
For an estimate of the expected total restructuring costs in 2022, see the Financial Targets and Prospectssection in SAP’s Consolidated Half-Year Management Report.

Section C – Financial Results
This section provides insight into the financial results of SAP's reportable segments and of SAP overall, as far as not already covered by previous sections. This includes segment results and income taxes. For more information, see our Consolidated Financial Statements for 2021, Section C – Financial Results.
(C.1)Results of Segments
General Information
SAP has five operating segments that are regularly reviewed by our 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). The operating segments are largely organized and managed separately according to their product and service offerings, notably whether the products and services relate to our experience management (Qualtrics) or working capital management solutions (Taulia), business process management offerings (SAP Signavio), or our customer experience portfolio of Emarsys, or cover other areas of our business including support and services activities (Applications, Technology & Services).
For more information about our segments, see the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2021, Note (C.1).
The following changes to the composition of our operating segments occurred in the first half of 2022:
| – | The<br> acquisition of Taulia led to a new operating segment that is non-reportable due to its size. |
|---|---|
| – | The<br> non-reportable Business Process Intelligence segment was renamed to SAP Signavio without<br> changes in the composition of this segment. |
| --- | --- |
| – | The<br> former Services segment was dissolved and integrated into the renamed Applications, Technology<br> & Services segment. |
| --- | --- |
| – | Certain<br> marketing costs that we primarily incur for product and solution-specific activities in the<br> Applications, Technology & Services segment are now presented in the results of this<br> segment and are no longer allocated to SAP’s corporate functions. |
| --- | --- |
The segment information for prior periods has been restated to conform with these changes to our segment composition.

(C.3)Financial Income, Net
In the first half of 2022, finance income mainly consisted of gains from disposals and fair value adjustments of equity securities totaling €463 million (first half of 2021: €1,515 million) of Sapphire Ventures investments.
In the first half of 2022, finance costs were primarily impacted by losses from disposals and fair value adjustments of equity securities amounting to €543 million (first half of 2021: €228 million) and were mainly due to Sapphire Ventures investments.
For more information about our financial income, net, see the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2021, Note (C.4).
(C.4)Income Taxes
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 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 expense of approximately €1,562 million (2021: €1,283 million) in total (including related interest expenses and penalties of €844 million (2021: €677 million)). The contingent liabilities increased in 2022 mainly due to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Section D – Invested Capital
This section highlights the non-current assets including investments that form the basis of our operating activities. Additions in invested capital include separate asset acquisitions or business combinations. For more information, see our Consolidated Financial Statements for 2021, Section D – Invested Capital.
(D.1)Business Combinations and Divestitures
Taulia Acquisition
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 on March 9, 2022, following satisfaction of customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals; the operating results as well as assets and liabilities are reflected in our consolidated financial statements starting on that date.
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 €0.7 billion.

All values are in Euros.
The initial accounting for the Taulia business combination is incomplete because we are still obtaining the information necessary to identify and measure items such as tax-related assets and liabilities, as well as intangible assets of Taulia. Accordingly, the amounts recognized in our financial statements for these items are regarded provisional as at June 30, 2022. We are also still finalizing our accounting assessment of 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” (June 30, 2022: approximately €2.9 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.”
In general, the goodwill arising from our acquisitions consists largely of the synergies and the know-how and skills of the acquired businesses’ workforces.
39/57

Taulia goodwill was attributed to expected synergies from the acquisition, particularly in the following areas:
| – | Cross-selling<br> to existing SAP customers across all regions, using SAP’s sales organization |
|---|---|
| – | Further<br> expanding SAP’s business network capabilities and strengthening SAP’s solutions<br> for the CFO office |
| --- | --- |
| – | Creating<br> new offerings by combining Taulia products and SAP products |
| --- | --- |
| – | Improving<br> profitability in Taulia sales and operations |
| --- | --- |
The allocation of the goodwill resulting from the Taulia acquisition to our operating segments depends on how our operating segments actually benefit from the synergies of the Taulia business combination. For more information, see Note (D.2).
Impact of the Business Combination on Our Financial Statements
The amounts of revenue and profit or loss of the Taulia business acquired in 2022 since the acquisition date were included in our Consolidated Income Statement for the first half of 2022 as follows:
Taulia Acquisition: Impact on SAP’s Financials
| €<br> millions | Q1–Q2<br> 2022<br><br> <br>as<br> Reported | Contribution<br> of Taulia |
|---|---|---|
<br> Revenue |
14,594 | 22 |
<br> Profit after tax |
835 | -16 |
Had Taulia been consolidated as at January 1, 2022, our revenue and profit after tax for the first half of 2022 would not have been materially different.
(D.2)Goodwill
For goodwill, we have – through a qualitative and quantitative analysis – been continuously monitoring the existence of triggering events that would require an impairment test in the first half of 2022. The review of internal and external factors led us to conclude that no triggering events occurred since our annual goodwill impairment test in 2021. No impairment tests were performed in the first half of 2022.
In addition, we considered the potential impact of the war in Ukraine on our expected future performance. Based on our analysis, we do not expect major impacts on the future performance of the goodwill-carrying cash-generating units. The negative revenue impact and additional expenses due to the exit of operations in Russia and Belarus mainly affects our Application, Technology & Services segment. We believe that no reasonably possible effect of the exit of operations in Russia and Belarus on revenue and expenses would cause the carrying amount of our Application, Technology & Services segment to exceed the recoverable amount. For more information about the impact of the war in Ukraine, see Note (IN.2).
Due to the integration of the Services segment into the former Applications, Technology & Support segment at the beginning of 2022 (renamed to Applications, Technology & Services segment), the goodwill in the Services segment was moved to this segment. Given the close proximity to the 2021 annual goodwill impairment test, no formal impairment test was performed on the reallocation date of the Services segment. For more information, see Note (C.1).
40/57

The allocation of the goodwill resulting from the Clarabridge acquisition that closed in the fourth quarter of 2021 and the Taulia acquisition that closed in March 2022 to our operating segments depends on how our operating segments actually benefit from the synergies of the Clarabridge and Taulia business combinations. We have not yet completed the identification of those benefits.

Section E – Capital Structure, Financing and Liquidity
This section provides information related to how SAP manages its capital structure. Our capital management is based on a high equity ratio, modest financial leverage, a well-balanced maturity profile, and deep debt capacity. For more information, see our Consolidated Financial Statements for 2021, Section E – Capital Structure, Financing, and Liquidity.

| Purchase | 0 | –10.0 |
| 6/30/2022 | 1,228.5 | –58.9 |
We bought back 10,004,763 shares at an average price of €99.95 between February 1, 2022, and April 29, 2022, to support the transition of SAP’s share-based compensation programs to equity settlement. The 2022 share buyback program has thus been completed.

Section F – Management of Financial Risk Factors
This section discusses financial risk factors and risk management. In our half-year report, this includes the transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy. For more information, particularly about our risk management related to foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, equity price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, and other financial risk factors, see our Consolidated Financial Statements for 2021, Section F – Risk Management and Fair Value Disclosures.
(F.1)Financial Risk Factors, Financial Risk Management, and Fair Value Disclosures on Financial Instruments
A detailed overview of our other financial instruments, financial risk factors, the management of financial risks, and the determination of fair value as well as the classification of our other financial instruments into the fair value hierarchy of IFRS 13 are presented in Notes (F.1) and (F.2) in the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2021.
We do not disclose the fair value of our financial instruments as at June 30, 2022, for the following reasons:
| – | For<br> a large number of our financial instruments, their carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation<br> of their fair values, and |
|---|---|
| – | For<br> those financial instruments where the carrying amount differs from fair value, there was<br> no material change in the relation between carrying amount and fair value since December 31, 2021. |

Section G – Other Disclosures
This section provides additional disclosures on miscellaneous topics, including information pertaining to other litigation, claims, and legal contingencies, and related party transactions. For more information, see our Consolidated Financial Statements for 2021, SectionG – Other Disclosures.
(G.1)Other Litigation, Claims, and Legal Contingencies
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. We will continue to vigorously defend against all claims and lawsuits against us. We currently believe that resolving the claims and lawsuits pending as at June 30, 2022, will neither individually nor in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, profit, or cash flows. Consequently, the provisions recorded for these claims and lawsuits as at June 30, 2022, are neither individually nor in the aggregate material to SAP.
Among the claims and lawsuits are the following classes (for more information about these classes, see the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2021, Note (G.3)):
Intellectual Property-Related Litigation and Claims
For individual cases of intellectual property-related litigation and claims disclosed in our Integrated Report 2021, there were no significant developments in the first half of 2022.
The provisions recorded for intellectual property-related litigation and claims continue to be not material. There are also no material contingent liabilities from intellectual property-related litigation and claims for which no provision has been recognized.
Tax-Related Litigation
There have been no significant changes in contingent liabilities from non-income tax-related litigation for which no provision has been recognized compared to our Consolidated Financial Statements for 2021, Note (G.3).
For more information about income tax-related litigation, see Note (C.4).
Anti-Bribery Matters
SAP received communications alleging conduct that may violate anti-bribery laws in the United States (including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA)) and other countries. Most of the investigations are ongoing and neither the outcome of the investigations nor the date when substantiated findings will be available is predictable at this point in time. Although there could be an unfavorable outcome in one or more of the ongoing investigations, it is currently impossible to make an informed judgment about any possible financial impact.
As a consequence, as at June 30, 2022, no provisions have been recognized for potential anti-bribery law violations in our Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements. It is currently also not practicable to estimate the financial effect of any contingent liabilities that may result from these potential violations.
For more information, see the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2021, Note (G.3).
45/57

(G.2)Related Party Transactions
Certain Executive Board and Supervisory Board members of SAP SE currently hold or have held positions of significant responsibility with other entities (for more information, see the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2021, Note (G.4)). We have relationships with certain of these entities in the ordinary course of business.
On May 18, 2022, the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders elected Jennifer Xin-Zhe Li to the Supervisory Board, as a successor to Bernard Liautaud who resigned with effect from that date. She has thus become a related party.
During the reporting period, we had no related party transactions that had a material effect on our business, financial position, or results in the reporting period.
For more information about related party transactions, see the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2021, Note (G.6).
(G.3)Events After the Reporting Period
In line with its cloud-led strategy, SAP extended an existing contract in early July 2022 and secured additional cloud infrastructure capabilities (worth approximately €1.5 billion) until 2028.
In addition, on July 21, SAP announced another share buyback program of approximately €500 million. Repurchased shares will primarily be used to service awards granted under share-based compensation plans for employees.
Other than that, no events that have occurred since June 30, 2022, have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements.
(G.4)Scope of Consolidation
| Total | |
|---|---|
| 12/31/2021 | 290 |
| Additions | 17 |
| Disposals | –10 |
| 6/30/2022 | 297 |
The additions in the first half of 2022 relate to legal entities added in connection with acquisitions and foundations. The disposals are mainly due to liquidations and mergers of legal entities.
For more information about our business combinations and the effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements, see *Note (D.1)*and our Integrated Report 2021.
Releaseof the Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements
The Executive Board of SAP SE approved these consolidated half-year financial statements on July 20, 2022, for submission to the Audit and Compliance Committee of the Supervisory Board and for subsequent issuance.

ResponsibilityStatement
To the best of our knowledge, and in accordance with the applicable reporting principles for half-year financial reporting, the Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position, and profit or loss of the SAP Group, and the Consolidated Half-Year Management Report of the SAP Group includes a fair review of the development and performance of the business and the position of the SAP Group, together with a description of the material opportunities and risks associated with the expected development of the SAP Group for the remaining months of the financial year.

Forward-LookingStatements
This half-year report contains forward-looking statements and information based on the beliefs of, and assumptions made by, our management using information currently available to them. Any statements contained in this report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements as defined in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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 management’s underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results could differ materially from those described in or inferred from our forward-looking statements and information. We describe these risks and uncertainties in the Risk Management and Risks section, respectively in the there-mentioned sources.
The words “aim,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “counting on,” “is confident,” “development,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” ”future trends,” “guidance,” “intend,” “may,” ”might,” “outlook,” “plan,” “project,” “predict,” “seek,” “should,” “strategy,” “want,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions as they relate to us are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such statements include, for example, those made in the Performance Against Our Outlook for 2022 section, the Risk Management and Risks section (including but not limited to statements in this section pertaining to the Russia/Ukraine crisis or cyber incidents), the Expected Developments andOpportunities section, and other forward-looking information appearing in other parts of this half-year financial report. To fully consider the factors that could affect our future financial results, both our Integrated Report 2021 and our Annual Report on Form 20-F for 2021, should be considered, as well as all of our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In addition, any delays in our structured exit from Russia and Belarus, or further adverse developments in Russia’s war against Ukraine, or cyber incidents impacting SAP could cause our actual results and performance to differ materially from any projections expressed in or implied by our forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as at the date specified or the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements as a result of new information that we receive about conditions that existed upon issuance of this report, future events, or otherwise unless we are required to do so by law.

The data from these sources is subject to risks and uncertainties, and subject to change based on various factors, including those described above, in the Risk Management and Risks section, and elsewhere in this report.
