In the first quarter of this year, SAP, Europe's largest software manufacturer, reported a significant increase in profits attributed to its extensive job reduction program initiated last year. The impact of this restructuring has become evident, as many employees left the company in the early months of the year, leading to substantial savings from the eliminated positions.
The adjusted operating profit, excluding special items, surged by 60% to EUR2.46 billion, surpassing analysts' expectations. This growth reflects a notable rise in the operating margin, which increased to 27.1%.
Sales performance remained robust, with revenue climbing by 12% to EUR9.01 billion. This growth was primarily driven by the company's cloud software offerings. Additionally, bookings for cloud applications over the next twelve months saw a remarkable increase of 28%. CEO Christian Klein reiterated the company's annual forecast on a currency-adjusted basis, while also cautioning about heightened exchange rate risks and the uncertain economic landscape.
However, recent fluctuations in the U.S. dollar, influenced by unpredictable trade policies, could pose challenges for SAP, particularly as the United States represents its largest market. The ongoing global trade conflicts may also dampen economic performance across various sectors.
Following the previous year's quarter, which was affected by restructuring costs, SAP reported a net profit of EUR1.80 billion for the current quarter, marking a strong recovery.
