(Reuters) -Europe's largest software maker SAP reported a 25% jump in its cloud business and beat analysts' estimates for total revenue for the second quarter on Monday.

The company's total revenue rose 10% to 8.29 billion euros ($9.02 billion), edging past analysts' consensus of 8.25 billion euros, helped by demand for its business planning software.

Cloud revenue of 4.15 billion euros was in line with the median analyst estimate from a consensus posted on the company's website.

The German firm increased its 2025 adjusted operating profit expectation to 10.2 billion euros from 10 billion euros, reflecting anticipated efficiency gains from its transformation program.

"We continue to invest into our transformation to be the leader in Business AI. Given our progress and strong pipeline, we are confident to achieve accelerating topline growth through 2027," CEO Christian Klein said in statement.

The company said quarterly operating profit fell 11% to 1.22 billion euros, due to restructuring expenses of 600 million euros.

SAP in January said it would spend 2 billion euros on a restructuring programme involving 8,000 jobs to either retrain employees with AI skills or to replace them through voluntary redundancies.

The company's software is used to manage key operations ranging from accounting to supply chain management.
