German business software company SAP SE on Friday reported third-quarter earnings of $814.6 million.
The company missed analyst estimates for net profit, but increased its outlook for the year slightly after recording a 28 percent increase in revenue for its cloud computing business.
The Walldorf, Germany-based company said it had profit of 68 cents per share. Earnings, adjusted for stock option expense, were $1.02 per share.
The results did not meet Wall Street expectations. The average estimate of seven analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research was for earnings of $1.05 per share.
The company posted revenue of $6 billion in the period, which beat Street forecasts. Six analysts surveyed by Zacks expected $5.9 billion.
The company raised its outlook for full-year 2016 operating earnings to 6.5 billion euros to 6.7 billion euros ($7.1 to $7.3 billion) from the earlier range of 6.4 billion euros to 6.7 billion euros ($7.0 billion to $7.3 billion).
SAP shares have risen 10 percent since the beginning of the year. The stock has increased 16 percent in the last 12 months.
