Customer and prospect activity through early September was in line with company expectations, with businesses continuing to move forward on purchases and implementations of SAP's software solutions. While the impact on business conditions for the fourth quarter 2001 from last week's attacks is more difficult to assess, the Company as yet sees no reason for changing its earlier guidance for the full year 2001. At the time of its second quarter results, SAP said that revenue growth for the first nine months of 2001 would slightly exceed 23%, with full year 2001 revenues growing by more than 20%. At the time, the Company also said that operating margin, excluding stock based compensation and acquisition related charges, is expected to exceed the 20% achieved in 2000 by 1 to 2 percentage points. The Group's nine months financial results are scheduled for release on October 18th. Consistent with corporate policy, SAP is committed to advising market participants of changes to its outlook promptly. 2 ABOUT SAP SAP is the world's leading provider of e-business software solutions.
