Third quarter results reflect the momentum we’ve built entering the final quarter of the year and more broadly where we are on our journey of growth and operational excellence. We are excited and energized to write the next chapter in SAP’s story alongside the best workforce anywhere in the technology industry.
In April we promised a stronger focus on profits and here we go: Q3 marks yet another milestone in delivering on this commitment. Q3 is also a manifesto of us keeping our second promise: continued strong top line momentum. Despite continued macro uncertainties we couldn’t be more confident to make 2019 another stellar year for SAP.
