Both IFRS and non-IFRS cloud subscriptions and support revenue grew 29% yearover-year (27% at constant currencies) to €932 million. IFRS and non-IFRS software revenue was €1.09 billion, up 5% year-overyear (4% at constant currencies).

IFRS and non-IFRS cloud and software revenue was €4.76 billion, an increase of 9% (8% at constant currencies). SAP’s “predictable revenue”, i.e. the total of cloud subscriptions & support revenue and software support revenue, was 63% of total revenue.

IFRS operating profit was down 27% to €926 million. Non-IFRS operating profit grew 4% to €1.57 billion (3% at constant currencies). IFRS earnings per share decreased 18% to €0.56. Non-IFRS earnings per share increased 14% to €0.94. The IFRS operating profit and EPS were primarily impacted by a strong increase in restructuring related expenses and share-based compensation expenses in the second quarter.

Operating cash flow for the first six months was €3.51 billion, an increase of 20% year-over-year and free cash flow increased 15% year-over-year to €2.90 billion. At quarter end, net debt was €1.79 billion, an improvement of €2.5 billion year over year. SAP’s strong growth and cash generation provide significant flexibility around capital allocation aimed at driving shareholder value. After evaluating the expected cash flow development for the second half of 2017 and consistent with the company’s capital allocation priorities, SAP has decided on a share buyback of up to €500 million in 2017. The share buyback will start shortly and will be executed in several tranches.
