The company's strategic Cloud ERP Suite saw an impressive 34% growth, further solidifying SAP's position in the enterprise software market.

Investors reacted positively to SAP's strong quarterly performance and optimistic outlook. The company reaffirmed its full-year 2025 guidance, expecting cloud revenue to reach €21.6 - 21.9 billion and non-IFRS operating profit of €10.3 - 10.6 billion at constant currencies. CEO Christian Klein highlighted the success of SAP's business model, stating, "Q1 once again underlines that our success formula is working. Current cloud backlog expanded 29% at constant currencies and total revenue saw a double-digit increase." The impressive results and continued focus on cloud growth have positioned SAP well in the competitive enterprise software landscape.
