**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

The Plan Participants and The Benefits Committee of SAP America, Inc.

SAP America, Inc. 401(k) Plan

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of SAP America, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, and the related notes and schedule (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the SAP America, Inc. 401(k) Plan as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

**Basis for Opinion**

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Supplemental Information**

The supplemental information in the accompanying Schedule H, Line 4i – Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2024 has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of SAP America, Inc. 401(k) Plan's financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information in the accompanying schedule, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the accompanying schedule is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

**SAP AMERICA, INC.**

**401(k) PLAN**

Notes to Financial Statements

**(1)** **Description of Plan** 

The following description of SAP America, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a complete description of the Plan's provisions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)**  ***General*** 

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all employees of SAP America, Inc., SAP International, Inc., SAP Labs, LLC, SAP Public Services, Inc., SAP Global Marketing, Inc., SAP National Security Services, Inc., SAP Industries, Inc., Callidus, Inc., Sybase, Inc., Ariba, Inc., SuccessFactors, Inc., Hipmunk, Inc., Concur Technologies, Inc., TRX, Inc., Signavio Inc., and Hybris (U.S.) Corporation (collectively, the Company or the Companies). There are no minimum age or service requirements for employees to become eligible to participate in the Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the *Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974* (ERISA). The Plan is also subject to certain provisions of the *Internal Revenue Code of 1986* (the Code). The Companies were subsidiaries of SAP SE (the Parent Company or SAP) during the Plan years presented.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)**  ***Contributions*** 

Participants may contribute, on a pre-tax basis, a portion of their eligible annual compensation, as defined by the Plan, not to exceed $23,000 for 2024 and $22,500 for 2023. The Plan limits eligible compensation to the amount prescribed by Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for purposes of compensation reduction contributions and limits the amount of annual additions to the amount prescribed by Section 415(c) of the Code. Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan currently offers registered investment companies, a money market fund, the Parent Company's ADR Stock Fund, and common collective trusts as investment options for participants. A self-directed brokerage account option is also available to allow participants to select investment options not specifically offered by the Plan. During 2024 and 2023, the Company matched 75% of the first 6% of eligible compensation that a participant contributes to the Plan. For purposes of employer matching and employer discretionary contributions, the Company's limit for eligible compensation for purposes of calculating the employer match in 2024 and 2023 is $345,000 and $330,000, respectively. Employees are permitted to make pre-tax and after-tax contributions of up to 25% of compensation. Participants are permitted to make different contribution elections for (a) compensation consisting of bonuses and commissions, and (b) all other wages. The matching employer contribution is invested as directed by the participant and paid on a quarterly basis. The Plan allows participants to elect Roth type tax treatment for a portion or all of their retirement plan contributions. Participants must be on active payroll with the Company as of the last day of the quarter to be eligible for the employer match.

Additional employer discretionary contributions may be contributed at the option of the Company and are invested as directed by the participant. Employer discretionary contributions were not made in 2024 or 2023. When made, the employer discretionary contributions are allocated to participants who, with respect to the plan year for which a contribution is made, are employed by the Company on the last day of the plan year, have worked 1,000 hours in that year, and have elected a deferral contribution. The employer discretionary contributions are allocated as an additional matching contribution.

The applicable dollar limits on pre-tax contributions allow individuals who have reached age 50 by the end of the Plan year, and who can no longer make additional pre-tax contributions because of limitations imposed by the Code or the Plan, to make additional "catchup contributions" for that year. Eligible individuals were able to make "catchup contributions" up to the lesser of (a) the individual's compensation for the year less any other deferrals, or (b) $7,500 for 2024 and $7,500 for 2023.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(c)**  ***Transfers*** 

The net assets transferred into/(out of) the Plan were $0 (zero) and $(63,292) for 2024 and 2023, respectively. In 2024, there were no transfers out of or into the Plan. In 2023, this amount consisted primarily of $(65,462) related to the transfers out of the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(d)**  ***Participant Accounts*** 

All employer and employee contributions made to the Plan on behalf of a participant are credited to the account established in that participant's name. As of each valuation date, each participant's account, after considering any contributions made on behalf of that participant and allocated to their account, is credited with earnings/losses attributable to the participant's chosen investments. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account. All amounts credited to the participant's account are invested as directed by the participant. All dividends, capital gain distributions, and other earnings received on investment options are specifically credited to a participant's account and are immediately used to invest in additional shares of those investment options. Participant recordkeeping and administrative expenses are deducted directly from participant investment accounts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(e)**  ***Vesting*** 

Participants are vested immediately in their contributions plus actual earnings/losses thereon. Vesting in the employer contribution to their accounts is based on years of service as defined in the Plan. A participant is 50% vested after two years of service and 100% vested after three years of service.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(f)**  ***Forfeitures*** 

Forfeitures are used to pay administrative expenses (in lieu of allocation to participant accounts) and/or to offset required employer contributions. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, required employer contributions were reduced by forfeitures of $2,000,000 and $3,000,000, respectively. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, forfeited non-vested accounts totaled $2,228,651 and $3,687,623, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(g)**  ***Notes Receivable from Participants*** 

Participants may borrow up to a maximum of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance, whichever is less. The majority of the Plan's outstanding notes receivable from participants are secured by the vested balance in each participant's account with original terms of up to 60 months; however, a longer term may be permitted in accordance with the Plan document. The notes receivable from participants bear interest at rates, which are based upon the prevailing commercial lending rates charged by professional lenders for similarly secured personal loans. The rate currently set by the Plan Administrator is the prime interest rate plus 1% and is adjusted for new loans weekly. During the term of the loan, the rate is fixed. A maximum of two notes receivable with outstanding balances is permitted at any time for each participant. Principal and interest are paid through payroll deductions. As of December 31, 2024, the interest rates on participant notes range from 4.25% to 9.50%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(h)**  ***Payment of Benefits*** 

Upon termination of employment, a participant may elect to receive a distribution equal to the value of the participant's vested interest in their account in the form of a lump-sum amount, agreed upon installments, or a life annuity with or without a survivor option. Employees (other than 5% owners) who attain the age of 73 years will not be required to commence minimum distributions until they terminate employment. Employees may elect withdrawals during employment subject to the terms described in the Plan document.

**(2)** **Summary of Significant Accounting Policies** 

The following are the significant accounting policies followed by the Plan:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)**  ***Basis of Accounting*** 

The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)**  ***Use of Estimates*** 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(c)**  ***Investment Valuation and Income Recognition*** 

Plan investments are reported at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Benefit Committee determines the Plan's valuation policies utilizing information provided by the investment advisers and trustee. See note 3 for discussion of fair value measurements.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation includes the Plan's gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(d)**  ***Contributions*** 

Contributions from Plan participants and the matching contributions from the Employer are recorded in the year in which the employee contributions are withheld from compensation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(e)**  ***Notes Receivable from Participants*** 

Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Delinquent notes receivable from a participant are reclassified as distributions based upon the terms of the Plan document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(f)**  ***Payment of Benefits*** 

Benefits are recorded when paid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(g)**  ***Subsequent Events*** 

The Plan has evaluated subsequent events through June 18, 2025, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

**(3)** **Fair Value Measurements** 

Fair value (as described in FASB ASC Topic 820) is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value. It establishes a three level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.

*Valuation Hierarchy*

A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC Topic 820 are described as follows:

Level 1 Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 1 assets and liabilities include registered investment companies (mutual funds), money market funds, common stocks and brokerage option.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Level 2 | Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, for example, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs that are observable or can be corroborated, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 2 assets and liabilities include items that are traded less frequently than exchange traded securities and whose model inputs are observable in the markets or can be corroborated by market observable data. Examples in this category are common collective trust funds. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Level 3 | Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. These unobservable inputs reflect the Plan's own assumptions about the market that participants would use to price an asset based on the best information available in the circumstances. The Plan has no Level 3 investments. |

---

The asset or liability's fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

*Valuation Methodologies*

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Registered Investment Companies: Mutual funds and Money Market funds are valued at the net asset value (NAV) on a market exchange. Each fund's NAV is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange and National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations. The funds are open-ended and trade in accordance with Securities and Exchange requirements at a quoted market price.

SAP ADR Stock Fund: The stock fund includes the Parent Company's common stock and is valued at the closing price reported in the active market in which the individual securities are traded.

Vanguard Brokerage Option: Equities are valued at last quoted sales price as of the close of business.

Common Collective Trust Funds: These investments are public investment securities valued using the NAV provided by the Trustee. The NAV is quoted on a private market that is not active; however, the unit price is based on underlying investments, which are traded on an active market.

The preceding methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies and assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

The following table summarizes, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Plan's investment assets at fair value as of December 31:

\* Certain investments that are measured at fair value using the NAV per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not been categorized in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits.

**(4)** **Investments in Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust (VRST)** 

The Plan holds an investment in a collective trust, specifically the VRST that invests in a combination of synthetic contracts (backed primarily by Vanguard bond trust funds), traditional insurance, bank contracts and contracts that are backed by bond funds and trusts. The issuers' ability to meet these obligations may be affected by economic developments in their respective companies and industries. The VRST seeks stable returns comparable to those of short-term fixed income securities. The average maturity range of investments in the trust is 2 to 4 years.

Distributions of net investment income to unit holders are declared and accrued daily. Withdrawals may be made for the primary purposes of funding an authorized distribution, withdrawal, or loan disbursement. Certain withdrawals may be subject to market value adjustments calculated in accordance with the provisions of the investment contracts.

**(5)** **Related-Party Transactions** 

Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds, stocks or common collective trust funds managed by an affiliate of Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company. Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company is the Trustee as defined by the Plan (Plan Trustee) and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. The Company is a related party and pays certain administrative expenses on behalf of the Plan. Additionally, participants can invest in the Parent Company's ADR Stock Fund. The Parent Company is a related party.

**(6)** **Plan Termination** 

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to amend, modify, or terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants would become 100% vested in their employer contributions and earnings thereon.

**(7)** **Tax Status** 

On March 13, 2018, the IRS issued a determination letter to the Company indicating that the Plan, as amended and restated as of January 1, 2006 including amendments adopted through January 30, 2017 was in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Code and the regulations thereunder. The Plan has been further amended since January 30, 2017; however, the Plan Administrator believes that the Plan is designed, and is currently being operated, in compliance with applicable provisions of the Code and therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified, and the related trust is tax-exempt.

U.S. GAAP requires Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.

**(8)** **Risks and Uncertainties** 

The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants' account balances, and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits.
