For the full year 2016, cloud and software revenue grew seven percent (IFRS) and eight percent (non-IFRS, constant currency), respectively, above the midpoint of the full-year target raised in October (constant currency growth, non-IFRS, of 6.5 percent to 8.5 percent).<\/p>\n
Cloud subscription and support revenue was \u20ac2.99 billion (IFRS) and \u20ac3.01 billion (non-IFRS, constant currency), meeting the full-year target raised in October (\u20ac3.00 billion to \u20ac3.05 billion, non-IFRS, constant currency).<\/p>

<\/a><\/div>\nNew cloud bookings, the key indicator of sales success in SAP's cloud business, rose 31 percent to \u20ac1.15 billion for the full year.<\/p>\n
The backlog of cloud subscriptions and support grew by 47 percent to reach 5.4 billion euros at the end of the year.<\/p>\n
New cloud bookings and backlog are key SAP indicators of continued strong cloud growth.<\/p>\n
Operating profit for the full year was 5.12 billion euros (IFRS) and 6.60 billion euros (non-IFRS, currency-adjusted).<\/p>\n
The full-year target raised in October was thus achieved (6.5 billion euros to 6.7 billion euros, non-IFRS, currency-adjusted).<\/p>\n
Earnings per share (IFRS) increased by 18 percent to 3.03 euros (IFRS) and by three percent to 3.89 euros (non-IFRS).<\/p>\n
SAP's growing cloud business and growth in support revenue continued to drive an increase in the share of more predictable revenue as a percentage of total revenue.<\/p>\n
Total cloud subscriptions and support and software support revenue increased by two percentage points in the full year 2016 and exceeded a 61 percent share of total revenue.<\/p>\n
For the full year, operating cash flow amounted to 4.63 billion euros (2015: 3.64 billion euros). This corresponds to a year-on-year increase of 27 percent.<\/p>\n
Free cash flow increased by 21 percent year-on-year to 3.63 billion euros (2015: 3.00 billion euros).<\/p>\n
The number of SAP S\/4Hana customers doubled year-on-year to over 5400.<\/p>\n
In the fourth quarter, around 1,300 additional customers opted for this product. Of these, around 30 percent are new customers.<\/p>\n
In the new digital economy, it is becoming imperative for more and more customers, for economic reasons, to take advantage of a live business that operates on the basis of a drastically simplified software architecture.<\/p>\n
Nike and Ameco Beijing invested in S\/4 Hana in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n
With SAP Cloud Platform, customers can extend existing functionality, develop applications for rapidly changing business processes using rapid development tools, and integrate them with other applications and operating models.<\/p>\n
SAP Cloud Platform plays a major role in the IoT (Internet of Things) revolution by enabling more and more smart devices and machines to be connected to people and processes to achieve outstanding business results.<\/p>\n
Burger King Brazil has adopted SAP Cloud Platform to analyze its sales data in real time and optimize its marketing strategies.<\/p>\n
Through the Internet of Things, gamification and mobile apps, the restaurant chain aims to manage in-store performance and improve the customer experience.<\/p>\n
Beyond 2017, SAP is also raising its 2020 targets to reflect consistently strong growth in the cloud, strong software revenue and operating profit growth, and foreign exchange performance.<\/p>\n
In an exchange rate environment comparable to 2016, SAP plans to achieve the following targets by 2020:<\/p>\n
Revenue from cloud subscriptions and support (non-IFRS) is expected to be in a range between EUR 8.0 billion and EUR 8.5 billion (previously between EUR 7.5 billion and EUR 8.0 billion).<\/p>\n
Total sales (non-IFRS) are targeted at between 28 billion euros and 29 billion euros (previously between 26 billion euros and 28 billion euros). Operating profit (non-IFRS) is expected to be between 8.5 billion euros and 9.0 billion euros (previously between 8 billion euros and 9 billion euros).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
