WALLDORF, Germany, Jan. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SAP SE (NYSE:SAP) announced today its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
Christian Klein, CEO:
Q4 was a strong cloud quarter, with bookings resulting in 30% Total Cloud Backlog growth to a record 77 billion Euros. The significant Current Cloud Backlog growth in Q4 has laid a strong foundation for accelerating Total Revenue growth through 2027. SAP Business AI has become a main driver for growth as it was included in two thirds of our Q4 cloud order entry, combined with strong AI adoption across the ERP Suite.
Dominik Asam, CFO:
We closed 2025 on a high note, delivering strong operating profit and free cash flow ahead of our expectations. This performance reflects focused execution, financial discipline, and the continued trust our customers place in us as the North Star for their digital transformation. As evidenced by continued strong growth well ahead of the market in SaaS and PaaS, and our ability to bring such growth down to the bottom line and Free Cash Flow, we are confident that our strategy and operational discipline will continue to drive long-term value creation.
