Business Outlook SAP's pipeline remains very strong and companies continue to invest in IT, in particular in innovative software solutions. Due to the ongoing uncertain macroeconomic environment, the Company's outlook for the full year 2011 remains unchanged from its previous guidance reported on July 26th (except for the IFRS effective tax rate): - The Company expects full-year 2011 non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue to increase in a range of 10% - 14% at constant currencies (2010: EUR9.87 billion), but expects to reach the high end of the range. - The Company expects full-year 2011 non-IFRS operating profit to be in a range of EUR4.45 billion - EUR4.65 billion at constant currencies (2010: EUR4.01 billion), but expects to reach the high end of the range, resulting in 2011 non-IFRS operating margin increasing in a range of 0.5 - 1.0 percentage points at constant currencies (2010: 32.0%). - The Company now projects a full-year 2011 IFRS effective tax rate of 28.5% - 29.5% (2010: 22.5%), whereas the projected non-IFRS effective tax rate remains unchanged at 27.5% - 28.5% (2010: 27.3%). SAP will provide further details of its third quarter results and outlook for the full-year 2011 on October 26th. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Information and Explaination of the Issuer to this News: Third quarter and year to date 2011 revenue, profit and cash flow figures include the revenue, profits and cash flows from Sybase. For the comparative prior year periods those numbers are only included since the acquisition date (July 26, 2010). For a more detailed description of the Non-IFRS adjustments and their limitations as well as our constant currency and free cash flow figures see Explanations of Non-IFRS Measures online (www.sap.com/investor). SAP has completed a review of the appropriate re-measurement of the provision recorded for the TomorrowNow litigation following the motion granted by the judge on the original jury verdict. The judge's decision vacated the original verdict of $1.3 billion but gave Oracle the choice of accepting $272 million or seeking a new trial. The deadline for Oracle to make that choice will vary depending on the outcome and timing of a ruling on Oracle's motion for an early appeal. If the early appeal is denied and Oracle rejects the reduced damages of $272 million, then there will be a new trial to determine damages. The re-measurement of the provision additionally reflects currency exchange rate changes, changes in the estimate of related legal expenses and the fact that TomorrowNow reached an agreement in the copyright case with the United States Department of Justice in the third quarter for $20 million. As this amount was paid in the third quarter it is no longer included in the provision recorded for the litigation. While the resulting re-measurement of the TomorrowNow litigation provision favorably impacts SAP's IFRS operating profit and margin it does not have an effect on SAP's Non-IFRS operating profit and margin.
