Sentiment and the balance of points

Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

SAP SE reported Q3 2026 revenue of €10.270 billion, up 13%; cloud revenue was €6.668 billion, up 26%. IFRS operating profit rose 18% to €2.930 billion and profit after tax rose 11% to €2.269 billion. Non-IFRS operating profit was €3.030 billion, up 18%; SAP says non-IFRS measures supplement, not replace, IFRS results.

Current cloud backlog, a non-IFRS measure, was €24.144 billion, up 28%; cloud growth included a multi-quarter revenue catch-up from customers returning from financial distress. Reltio, Dremio and Prior Labs contributed €49 million of Q3 revenue; their Q3 operating-profit contributions were negative €59 million under IFRS and €39 million under non-IFRS. SAP and Teradata settled their legal dispute in February 2026; SAP paid US$480 million (€408 million) in March 2026.

For the first nine months, operating cash flows were €8.586 billion, up 9%, and non-IFRS free cash flow was €7.968 billion, up 11%. As of September 30, 2026, SAP had repurchased 25,205,983 shares at an average price of €164.79, a purchased volume of approximately €4.2 billion under a program of up to €10 billion through December 31, 2027.

How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Filing Explained

From 2027, IFRS statement presentation and SAP’s supplemental non-IFRS measures will change.

Form 6-K is an interim report for material information published in the issuer’s home market; here, SAP furnishes its preliminary, unaudited third-quarter statement. The filing reports that SAP completed acquisitions of 100% of Reltio on May 7, 2026, Dremio on July 6, 2026, and Prior Labs on July 16, 2026, so these are completed ownership changes.

The reported consideration was €1,076 million for Reltio, approximately €515 million for Dremio, and approximately €518 million for Prior Labs; most of Reltio’s consideration was paid in cash, and accounting for all three acquisitions remains preliminary.

IFRS 18 takes effect on January 1, 2027; SAP says it will change income-statement presentation and add disclosure requirements. Also starting in 2027, SAP will exclude foreign-currency effects from non-IFRS results and tax-related interest from non-IFRS operating profit, changes that SAP says will affect non-IFRS profit measures and key ratios.

Total revenue €10.270 billion Q3 2026 IFRS; up 13% from Q3 2025
Cloud revenue €6.668 billion Q3 2026 IFRS; up 26% from Q3 2025

non-IFRS financial measures financial
"considered non-IFRS financial measures"
Non-IFRS financial measures are company-reported numbers that modify or exclude items from standard accounting results so management can highlight what it sees as underlying business performance—common examples are adjusted EBITDA or adjusted earnings per share. They matter to investors because they can make trends clearer by removing unusual or noncash items, like cleaning lens smudges off a camera, but they require scrutiny since companies decide what to exclude and comparisons across firms may not be uniform.
constant currencies financial
"up 26% at constant currencies"
Constant currencies is a way companies report sales and profit changes as if exchange rates had not moved, isolating underlying business performance from currency swings. For investors it matters because it shows whether growth comes from actual demand or just favorable exchange-rate moves—think of it like comparing two stores’ receipts after converting prices to the same stable money to see who actually sold more, not who benefitted from changing rates.
current cloud backlog financial
"Current cloud backlog of €24.1 billion"
free cash flow financial
"Free cash flow"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.

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.

Supplementary Information1

 

Financial Results

 

Cloud revenue growth was positively impacted by several quarter-specific effects, mainly a multi-quarter revenue catch-up from customers returning from financial distress.

 

Total revenue in the third quarter included a contribution of €49 million from the acquisitions of Reltio, Dremio, and Prior Labs.

 

IFRS and non-IFRS operating profit included a negative contribution of €59 million and €39 million, respectively, from the aforementioned acquisitions. In addition, IFRS and non-IFRS operating profit growth benefited from prior year negative impacts of €0.1 billion each from a change in case law affecting SAP's other tax litigation and from a workforce transformation, both recorded in the third quarter of 2025.

 

Share Repurchase Program

 

In January 2026, SAP announced a new share repurchase program with an aggregate volume of up to €10 billion and a term until December 31, 2027. As of September 30, 2026, SAP had repurchased 25,205,983 shares at an average price of €164.79 resulting in a purchased volume of approximately €4.2 billion under the program.

Outlook

 

Financial Outlook

 

For 2026, SAP is updating its cloud revenue and cloud and software revenue outlook and now expects:

 

·To generate cloud revenue towards the upper end of the outlook range of €25.8 – 26.2 billion at constant currencies (2025: €21.02 billion), up 23% to 25% at constant currencies.

 

·To generate cloud and software revenue towards the upper end of the outlook range of €36.3 – 36.8 billion at constant currencies (2025: €32.54 billion), up 12% to 13% at constant currencies.

 

SAP continues to expect:

 

·€11.8 – 12.2 billion operating profit (non-IFRS) at constant currencies (2025: €10.42 billion), up 13% to 17% at constant currencies.

 

·Approximately €10 billion free cash flow at actual currencies (2025: €8.24 billion).

 

·An effective tax rate (non-IFRS) of approximately 29% (2025: 30.5%)2.

 

·Constant currencies current cloud backlog growth to slightly decelerate (2025: 25%).

 

SAP further expects:

 

·Constant currencies total revenue growth in 2026 to remain at similar levels as in 2025 (10.6%) and to accelerate in 2027.

 

·Total operating expenses (non-IFRS) to grow at 80% to 90% of total revenue growth in 2027.

 

·Constant currencies software support revenue decline rate to accelerate in the coming years as a consequence of an acceleration of customers transforming to the cloud.

 

SAP's current cloud backlog outlook for full-year 2026 is based on the assumption of a stable macroeconomic environment in the fourth quarter.

 

 

While SAP’s 2026 financial outlook for the income statement parameters is at constant currencies (including an average exchange rate of 1.13 USD per EUR), actual currency reported figures are expected to be impacted by currency exchange rate fluctuations as the company progresses through the year, as reflected in the table below.

 

Currency Impact Assuming September 30, 2026 Rates Apply for 2026

 

In percentage points Q4 2026 FY 2026
Cloud revenue growth 2.0pp -1.5pp
Cloud and software revenue growth 1.5pp -1.0pp
Operating profit growth (non-IFRS) 1.0pp -2.0pp

 

This includes an exchange rate of 1.14 USD per EUR.

 

 

 

 

 

2 The effective tax rate (non-IFRS) is a non-IFRS financial measure and is presented for supplemental informational purposes only. We do not provide an outlook for the effective tax rate (IFRS) due to the uncertainty and potential variability of gains and losses associated with equity securities, which are reconciling items between the two effective tax rates (non-IFRS and IFRS). These items cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts but could have a significant impact on our future effective tax rate (IFRS).

Quarterly Statement Q3 2026

 

 

 

 

 

Non-Financial Outlook

 

For 2026, SAP continues to expect:

 

·Cloud Customer Satisfaction (Cloud CSAT) to be in a range of 75% to 76% (2025: 75%).

 

·The Employee Engagement Index to be in a range of 74% to 78% (2025: 76%).

 

·The Business Health Culture Index (BHCI) to be in a range of 80% to 82% (2025: 81%).

 

·To steadily decrease carbon emissions across the relevant value chain (2025: 3.6 Mt).

Non-IFRS Numbers

 

 

 

(D)Basis of Non-IFRS Presentation

 

We disclose certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with IFRS and are therefore considered non-IFRS financial measures. Our non-IFRS financial measures may not correspond to non-IFRS financial measures that other companies report. The non-IFRS financial measures that we report should only be considered in addition to, and not as substitutes for, nor as superior to, our IFRS financial measures.

 

We believe that the supplemental historical and prospective non-IFRS financial information we disclose is useful information to investors because it is used by our management, in addition to financial data prepared in accordance with IFRS, to gain a more transparent understanding of our past performance and our anticipated future results. For a more detailed description of all of SAP’s non-IFRS measures and their limitations as well as SAP’s constant currency and free cash flow figures, see Explanation of Non-IFRS Measures.

(H.1)Segment Policies and Changes

 

At the end of the third quarter of 2026, SAP had two operating segments: the Applications, Technology & Support (ATS) segment and the Core Services segment:

 

–The ATS segment represents SAP’s cohesive product portfolio, which is holistically steered and commercialized. It primarily generates revenue from cloud subscriptions and from the sale of software licenses and support offerings, and it incurs cost for support, operating our solutions, and the provision of infrastructure. Revenue and the cost of services arise from SAP’s training business, which is highly integrated with SAP’s product portfolio. Dremio and Prior Labs are newly acquired companies and are each part of the ATS segment, as their respective platforms are intended to become core capabilities within SAP's product portfolio.

 

–The Core Services segment supports SAP’s product portfolio by enabling customers to transform their business and accelerate the adoption of innovations. Revenues are mainly generated from professional consulting services and premium support services. Cost is incurred primarily for the delivery of those services. The Core Services segment does not reflect the full services business.

(K)Share-Based Payment Expenses

 

SAP’s share-based payment expenses included in SAP’s non-IFRS operating expenses break down as follows:

 

€ millions Q3 2026 Q1–Q3 2026 Q3 2025 Q1–Q3 2025
Cost of cloud –31 –84 –27 –86
Cost of software licenses and support –7 –20 –8 –24
Cost of services –62 –170 –64 –197
Research and development –195 –520 –156 –481
Sales and marketing –133 –358 –147 –478
General and administration –46 –75 –28 –112
Share-based payment expenses –474 –1,227 –429 –1,379

 

The decrease in share-based payment expenses is mainly related to SAP’s share price reduction of around €25 in the first nine months of 2026, as compared to a reduction of around €10 in the first nine months of 2025.

 

For more information about share-based payment expenses, see the Notes to the Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements 2026, Note (B.3).

 

(L)Teradata Litigation Matter

 

The Teradata litigation claims had been pending in the U.S. federal court since 2018 when Teradata Corporation, Teradata US, Inc. and Teradata Operations, Inc. (collectively “Teradata”) filed a civil lawsuit against SAP SE, SAP America, Inc. and SAP Labs, LLC. A provision of €387 million for a potential settlement amount and related legal fees had been recognized as of December 31, 2025. End of February 2026, SAP and Teradata settled the legal dispute and agreed to withdraw all pending lawsuits. As a result of the settlement, an additional expense of €29 million (Q1 2025: €0 million) was recorded. SAP paid the full settlement amount of US$480 million (€408 million) in March 2026.

 

For more information about the Teradata litigation, see the Notes to the Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements 2026, Note (G.1).

 

(M)Business Combinations

 

(M.1)Reltio

 

On March 27, 2026, SAP announced its intention to acquire 100% of Reltio Inc. (“Reltio”), a leading master data management software provider, to help customers make their SAP and non-SAP enterprise data AI-ready. The transaction closed on May 7, 2026, following satisfaction of customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. The consideration transferred amounted to US$1,259 million (€1,076 million) and the majority was paid in cash.

 

The acquisition is expected to help SAP to strengthen SAP Business Data Cloud (SAP BDC) and accelerate the evolution of SAP BDC to a fully interoperable enterprise data platform for enterprise-wide agentic AI and accelerate its customers’ ability to govern and expose master data as trusted and context-rich data products across multiple sources that serve both traditional analytics workloads and AI agents.

 

Given that the Reltio acquisition closed only recently, we are still in the process of identifying and measuring the Reltio assets and liabilities. Thus, the accounting for the Reltio acquisition is preliminary. This primarily relates to intangible assets and tax assets and liabilities, but also to certain acquisition accounting related matters such as the consideration transferred and certain accounting alignments.

 

In the third quarter of 2026, the contribution of Reltio to revenue was approximately €39 million, to operating profit (IFRS) approximately €-17 million and operating profit (non-IFRS) approximately €-9 million. In the first nine months of 2026, the contribution of Reltio to revenue was approximately €64 million, to operating profit (IFRS) approximately €-30 million and operating profit (non-IFRS) approximately €-17 million.

 

For more information about the Reltio acquisition, see the Notes to the Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements 2026, Note (D.1).

Quarterly Statement Q3 2026

 

 

 

 

 

(M.2)Dremio

 

On May 4, 2026, SAP announced its intention to acquire 100% of Dremio Inc. ("Dremio"), an open, high-performance data lakehouse platform built to accelerate agentic AI and expand SAP Business Data Cloud's ability to combine SAP and non-SAP data to run analytical and AI workloads in real time. The transaction closed on July 6, 2026, following satisfaction of customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. The preliminary consideration transferred amounted to approximately €515 million.

 

The acquisition is expected to help SAP evolve SAP Business Data Cloud into an Apache Iceberg-native enterprise lakehouse, enabling SAP and non-SAP data to be analyzed together in real time without prior data movement or conversion and with substantially improved economics for enterprise analytics. Dremio's open catalog capabilities, based on Apache Polaris and the Apache Iceberg REST Catalog API, will further strengthen SAP Business Data Cloud and SAP HANA Cloud with enhanced data discovery, governance, and lineage management across heterogeneous enterprise data landscapes. Together, Dremio and SAP Business Data Cloud will provide AI agents with seamless, governed access to the full breadth of enterprise data, accelerating agentic AI at enterprise scale.

 

Given that the Dremio acquisition closed only recently, we are still in the process of identifying and measuring the Dremio assets and liabilities. Thus, the accounting for the Dremio acquisition is preliminary. This primarily relates to intangible assets and tax assets and liabilities, but also to certain acquisition accounting-related matters such as the consideration transferred and certain accounting alignments.

 

In the third quarter of 2026, the contribution of Dremio to revenue was approximately €9 million, to operating profit (IFRS) approximately €-18 million and operating profit (non-IFRS) approximately €-14 million.

 

(M.3)Prior Labs

 

On May 4, 2026, SAP announced its intention to acquire 100% of Prior Labs GmbH ("Prior Labs"), a pioneer in Tabular Foundation Models (TFMs), to accelerate SAP's development of AI models purpose-built for enterprise business data. The transaction closed on July 16, 2026, following satisfaction of customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. The preliminary consideration transferred amounted to approximately €518 million.

 

The acquisition is expected to help SAP accelerate its Tabular Foundation Model capabilities by bringing one of the world's leading TFM research teams in-house. Prior Labs' models are trained specifically on structured business data and are designed to improve the predictive accuracy and automation of core enterprise processes across SAP's application portfolio. The acquisition strengthens SAP's ability to embed AI natively into its business software and supports SAP's strategy to lead in enterprise AI at scale.

 

Given that the Prior Labs acquisition closed only recently, we are still in the process of identifying and measuring the Prior Labs’ assets and liabilities. Thus, the accounting for the Prior Labs acquisition is preliminary. This primarily relates to intangible assets and tax assets and liabilities, but also to certain acquisition accounting-related matters such as the final consideration transferred.

 

In the third quarter of 2026, the contribution of Prior Labs to revenue was less than €1 million. The contribution to operating profit (IFRS) was approximately €-24 million and operating profit (non-IFRS) approximately €-16 million.

 

(N)2027 Reporting Changes

 

The following changes will be effective as of 2027.

 

IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” will become effective and replace IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” on January 1, 2027. The new standard will affect the presentation of our Consolidated Income Statements, introduce additional disclosure requirements, and further specify aggregation and disaggregation of information in our Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. For more information, see the Notes to the Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements 2026, Note (IN.1).

 

As a consequence of implementing IFRS 18, starting in 2027 SAP has decided to introduce two new non-IFRS adjustments.

 

(N.1)Foreign Currency-Related Effects

 

Starting in 2027, SAP will exclude foreign currency-related effects from its non-IFRS results. This adjustment will include realized and unrealized foreign currency effects arising mainly from balance sheet revaluations, as well as hedging of foreign exchange balance sheet exposure, hedging of foreign exchange cash flows, and other similar effects.

 

22/23

 

 

Quarterly Statement Q3 2026

 

 

 

 

 

We will exclude foreign currency-related effects to ensure overall consistent treatment in our non-IFRS figures at constant currency. We believe this adjustment will improve period-over-period comparability by reducing the volatility that results from foreign exchange rate fluctuation, which is beyond our control, and making it easier to compare SAP’s operating performance with that of our US peers.

 

(N.2)Interest Related to Taxes

 

Starting in 2027, SAP will exclude interest related to taxes from its non-IFRS operating profit results. This adjustment will include interest income and interest expense related to income tax and other taxes.

 

We will exclude interest related to taxes from our operating expense (non-IFRS) as these effects are not indicative of SAP’s core operating activities.

 

In addition to operating profit (non-IFRS), the adjustments mentioned in (N.1) and (N.2) will also impact our profit before tax (non-IFRS), profit after tax (non-IFRS), and our non-IFRS key ratios such as operating margin, effective tax rate, and basic earnings per share.
