SAP said in a statement on Tuesday that it aims to carry out voluntary buyouts or job changes for 8,000 employees as part of a 2024 restructuring program. But the German business software maker said its headcount should remain the same. SAP shares were up about 1% in extended trading.
The company is looking to reposition itself for faster revenue growth, in part from artificial intelligence. Total revenue grew 4% year over year in the third quarter.
SAP said it now expects 10 billion euros ($10.85 billion) in 2025 adjusted operating profit. That’s down 2 billion euros from its previous outlook because of share-based compensation, but up by 500 million euros thanks to planned efficiencies from the restructuring.
The company had about 112,000 full-time employees when it published its 2022 annual report. A year ago the company said it would get rid of 3,000 roles.
