FORM 6-K

 

On April 13, 2021, SAP SE, (“SAP"), issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing its preliminary financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021. The Press Release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

 

This Press Release discloses certain non-IFRS measures. These measures are not prepared in accordance with IFRS and are therefore considered non-IFRS financial measures. The non-IFRS financial measures that we report should be considered in addition to, and not as substitutes for or superior to, revenue, operating income, cash flows, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

 

Please refer to Explanations of Non-IFRS Measures online (http://global.sap.com/corporate-en/investors/pdf/sap-non-ifrs-measures.pdf) for further information regarding the non-IFRS measures.

 

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. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their dates.
