SAP SE has announced that its Supervisory Board and Executive Board are recommending a dividend of €2.50 per share for the 2025 fiscal year, an increase of €0.15 or 6.4% compared to the previous year.
If shareholders approve this proposal and assuming the number of treasury shares remains unchanged as of December 31, 2025, SAP estimates that the total dividend payout will be about €2.919 billion, up from €2.743 billion in 2024. This represents a pay-out ratio of 40.7%, compared to 52% in the prior year.
The company stated: “SAP believes that its shareholders should benefit appropriately from the profit the Company made in 2025. The Company’s dividend policy is to pay a dividend totaling 40% or more of Non-IFRS profit after tax.”
Key dates related to this proposed dividend include May 5, 2026 as the record date for payment eligibility, May 6 as the ex-dividend date, and May 8 as the payment date.
For holders of SAP American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), each ADR corresponds to one SAP SE share. The final amount received per ADR will depend on euro/U.S. dollar exchange rates at the time of payment. While dividends are paid out in euros on ordinary shares by SAP SE, currency fluctuations will impact U.S.-dollar payments for ADR holders.
SAP describes itself as a global leader in enterprise applications and business AI with more than five decades supporting organizations across various sectors including finance, procurement, HR, supply chain management, and customer experience.
