SAP report Q2 2012 revenue
After a preliminary review of its second quarter 2012 performance, SAP AG (Waldorf, Germany) have announced its preliminary financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012.
BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS IN THE SECOND QUARTER
SAP demonstrated strong growth in the second quarter. All regions posted double-digit revenue gains. The company is on track with solid results in its core business and exceptional demand for its new categories. Cloud momentum continued, driven by synergies between SuccessFactors and SAP. The company also strengthened its leadership in enterprise mobility. SAP HANA and the database business had an outstanding quarter with significant deals in all regions. Key industries such as financial services and retail as well as continued expansion of sales through SAP partners contributed significantly to the company’s top-line.
SAP AG Co-Chief Executive Officers Bill McDermott and Jim Hagemann Snabe
“Our record performance speaks for itself. We delivered double-digit growth in all regions driven by strong momentum from the core as well as SAP HANA, mobile and the cloud. The results came in at the upper end of our second quarter software revenue guidance in an uncertain macro-economic environment,” said Bill McDermott and Jim Hagemann Snabe, Co-CEOs. ”SAP’s customer-centric innovation strategy remains the key differentiator in the industry. The results are a validation that SAP is the better choice for companies to run better in any operating environment – allowing them to improve productivity, reduce costs and grow.”
