SAP CFO Werner Brandt said the business software company would return to double digit percentage growth soon without resorting to acquisitions.

He believes the business would return to a net cash position soon, the daily financial paper Boersen Zeitung reported.

Brandt made the comments weeks after SAP posted half year results showing a 30% fall in cash flow, compared with the same period last year. The results were posted after SAP acquired smaller rival Sybase for circa $5.8bn (£3.63bn).

He said: "Due to our cashflow I expect that we will report a return to a net cash position in the near future," Reuters reported.
