- Tuesday, July 24, 2012, 9:31 AM More on SAP (SAP) Q2: net profit rises to €661M from €587M a year earlier and beats estimates. Revenue from new software licenses in EMEA +20%, excluding currency swings. "We are now taking very strong market share," says co-CEO Jim Hagemann Snabe, with Q2 sales growth exceeding 10% in "flat markets." Shares +2.9%. Comment! [Earnings, Tech]
- Tuesday, July 24, 2012, 4:56 AM SAP (SAP): Q2 EPS of €0.55 may not be comparable with consensus of €0.76. Revenue of €3.9B (+18.1%) in-line. Assuming constant currencies, sees FY12 non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue increasing in a range of 10-12% and non-IFRS operating profit of €5.05B-5.25B. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Tech]
- Tuesday, July 24, 2012, 12:05 AM Notable earnings before Tuesday’s open: AME, APD, BIIB, BTU, CNC, COL, DD, DLPH, EMC, GNTX, ITW, LMT, LXK, MO, NXPI, PCAR, RAI, RF, SAP, SNV, SPG, T, UA, UPS, VMED, WHR, WU Comment! [Earnings]
- Monday, July 23, 2012, 5:30 PM Notable earnings before Tuesday’s open: AME, APD, BIIB, BTU, CNC, COL, DD, DLPH, EMC, GNTX, ITW, LMT, LXK, MO, NXPI, PCAR, RAI, RF, SAP, SNV, SPG, T, UA, UPS, VMED, WHR, WU 1 Comment [Earnings]
- Thursday, July 12, 2012, 9:36 AM SAP +3.9% after reporting preliminary Q2 revenue of €3.9B ($4.75B), up 18% Y/Y and above a consensus of €3.8B. Software revenue was €1.06B (+26% Y/Y), and operating profit was €0.92B. SAP's software growth soundly exceeded the 7% license growth delivered by archrival Oracle (ORCL) in its May quarter, as well as its 0%-10% guidance for the August quarter. The results are a breath of fresh air for enterprise software following warnings from Informatica and Qlik. Comment! [Tech, Earnings, On the Move]
- Thursday, July 5, 2012, 2:20 PM In spite of Larry Ellison's bluster, Oracle's (ORCL) Exalytics database appliance isn't a threat to SAP's Hana in-memory database, writes Bernstein's Mark Moerdler. Exalytics doesn't feature Oracle's flagship 11g database software, only stores frequently-accessed data, and (naturally) doesn't work with SAP's software. Moredler is quite optimistic about Hana's long-term potential. (more on Hana) 2 Comments [Tech]
- Tuesday, July 3, 2012, 12:33 PM Ariba (ARBA -0.5%), which is set to be acquired for $45/share by SAP, slips to $44.53 after the DOJ issues a second request for information as part of its review of the deal. While there are some concerns about the dominant position of an SAP-Ariba combo in enterprise procurement software, most expect the deal to go through. Comment! [Tech, M&A]
- Tuesday, June 26, 2012, 9:38 AM The open-source enemy of my enemy is my friend: Red Hat (RHT) is forming a partnership with SAP focused on the use of SAP apps with Red Hat's virtualization software. The move, which coincides with Red Hat announcing pricing for a cloud app development platform, demonstrates how the company is trying to create an app infrastructure platform on top of its mainstay Linux software ... and thereby compete more directly with SAP archrival Oracle (ORCL), as well as VMware (VMW). Comment! [Tech]
- Wednesday, June 20, 2012, 12:36 PM Gartner lowers its growth forecast for the enterprise application software space to 4.5% from 5%, citing macro worries. The biggest chunks of total sales will be claimed by ERP software (top vendors: SAP, ORCL), office suites (dominated by MSFT), BI software (top vendors: SAP, ORCL, IBM, MSTR), and CRM software (top vendors: CRM, ORCL, SAP). Cloud services (offered by CRM, MSFT, AMZN) are expected to account for 16% of industry revenue by 2016, up from 11% in 2010. Comment! [Tech]
- Friday, June 15, 2012, 6:07 PM Salesforce.com (CRM) is on the verge of becoming the world's top CRM software vendor, if IDC's estimates are right. The firm believes Salesforce had a 9.5% share of the CRM market in 2011, compared with 11% for Oracle (ORCL) and 9.9% for SAP. Given Salesforce is growing much faster than the 11.2% rate IDC believes the entire CRM market grew at in 2011, taking the top spot is likely just a matter of time. Oracle has made a string of acquisitions (I, II) to better compete with Salesforce. 1 Comment [Tech]
- Monday, June 4, 2012, 7:11 PM Salesforce.com's (CRM) purchase of Buddy Media marks the latest step in the company's efforts to create a fully-fledged front office cloud software suite, thinks ZDNet's Dennis Howlett. He adds the acquisition comes at a time when surveys indicate strong interest in many types of CRM solutions, and enterprises are starting to show more interest in CRM apps, which are focused on revenue growth, relative to ERP and other back-office apps, which are focused on cost-cutting. Comment! [Tech]
- Wednesday, May 23, 2012, 2:46 PM Though it didn't come cheap, UBS and Nomura are praising SAP's (SAP -0.7%) $4.3B acquisition (I, II) of Ariba (ARBA). The former notes the kind of B2B transactions handled by Ariba's network cover 63% of all trade, and the latter argues the deal will help SAP achieve its goal of obtaining €2B in cloud revenue in 2015. Smaller Ariba rival SciQuest (SQI +6.2%) is rallying for the second straight day. Comment! [Tech, M&A, On the Move]
- Tuesday, May 22, 2012, 3:14 PM More on SAP/Ariba: The purchase follows SAP's $3.4B acquisition of cloud HR software vendor SuccessFactors, and gives it a set of products and services that complement its core ERP software solutions. Also, Ariba's market leadership means there are no major rivals Oracle (ORCL) can acquire in response, though SciQuest (SQI +1.6%), a much smaller competitor, is rallying a bit. SAP is nearly unchanged, Ariba will resume trading at 3:15 PM ET. 1 Comment [Tech, M&A, On the Move]
- Tuesday, May 22, 2012, 2:59 PM SAP is acquiring cloud spend management software/B2B e-commerce network owner Ariba (ARBA) for $45/share in cash, or $4.3B. The price represents an 18% premium to Ariba's final trade before shares were halted at 2:30 PM ET. The deal will be funded using a combo of SAP's existing cash and a €2.4B term loan facility. SAP expects it to close in Q3, and be accretive to 2013 EPS. (PR) (previous) Comment! [Tech, M&A, On the Move, Breaking News]
- Tuesday, May 22, 2012, 2:54 PM Ariba (ARBA) halted for news, and the buzz is that SAP is agreeing to buy the company for $45/share, a 20% premium to yesterday's closing price. Comment! [Tech, Breaking News, M&A]
- Monday, May 21, 2012, 5:41 PM SAP faces a backlash from major enterprise clients over recent efforts to demand millions in back-payments from customers it accuses of violating its licensing terms by transferring data created by SAP apps to third-party software. Cloud software vendors, always quick to portray incumbents such as SAP and Oracle (ORCL) as heavy-handed and out-of-touch, will be glad to use SAP's actions as a talking point. Comment! [Tech]
