1)	All figures are preliminary and unaudited.
2)	Adjustments in the revenue line items are for support revenue that an entity acquired by SAP would have recognized had it remained a stand-alone entity but that SAP is not permitted to recognize as revenue under IFRS as a result of business combination accounting rules. Adjustments in the operating expense line items are for acquisition-related charges and discontinued activities. See Explanations of Non-IFRS Measures in the appendix for details.
3)	Constant currency revenue and operating profit figures are calculated by translating revenue and operating profit of the current period using the average exchange rates from the previous year’s respective period instead of the current period. Constant currency period-over-period changes are calculated by comparing the current year’s non-IFRS constant currency numbers with the non-IFRS number of the previous year’s respective period. See Explanations of Non-IFRS Measures in the appendix for details.

Revenues

• IFRS software and software-related service revenues were €1.95 billion (2009: €1.74 billion), an increase of 12%. Non-IFRS software and software-related service revenues were €1.95 billion (2009: €1.75 billion), an increase of 11% (10% at constant currencies).

• IFRS software revenues were €464 million (2009: €418 million), an increase of 11% (7% at constant currencies).

• IFRS total revenues were €2.51 billion (2009: €2.40 billion), an increase of 5%. Non-IFRS total revenues were €2.51 billion (2009: €2.41 billion), an increase of 4% (3% at constant currencies).

First quarter 2009 Non-IFRS revenue figures exclude a deferred support revenue write-down from the acquisition of Business Objects of €11 million

Income

• IFRS operating profit was €557 million (2009: €307 million), an increase of 81%. Non-IFRS operating profit was €612 million (2009: €396 million), an increase of 55% (47% at constant currencies). In the first quarter of 2009, the IFRS operating income was impacted by restructuring charges of €166 million (Non-IFRS: €160 million) resulting from a reduction of positions.

• IFRS operating margin was 22.2% (2009: 12.8%), an increase of 9.4 percentage points. Non-IFRS operating margin was 24.4% (2009: 16.4%), or 23.6% at constant currencies, an increase of 8.0 percentage points (7.2 percentage points at constant currencies). In contrast to the respective quarter in 2009, the first quarter 2010 was not impacted by restructuring expenses which had, in the first quarter of 2009, negatively impacted the IFRS and Non-IFRS operating margin by 6.9 percentage points and 6.6 percentage points, respectively. However, reorganizations in the first quarter 2010 resulted in severance expenses of €27 million and unused lease space expenses of €9 million, which negatively impacted the IFRS and Non-IFRS operating margin by 1.4 percentage points.

• IFRS profit after tax was €387 million (2009: €196 million), an increase of 97%. Non-IFRS profit after tax was €435 million (2009: €263 million), an increase of 65%. IFRS basic earnings per share were €0.33 (2009: €0.17), an increase of 94%. Non-IFRS basic earnings per share were €0.37 (2009: €0.22), an increase of 68%. The impact, net of tax, of the severance and unused lease space expenses incurred in the first quarter 2010 on the first quarter 2010 IFRS and Non-IFRS basic earnings per share was €0.02. The impact, net of tax, of the restructuring expenses incurred in the first quarter 2009 on the first quarter of

SAP Reports First Quarter 2010 Results Page 3

2009 IFRS and Non-IFRS basic earnings per share was €0.09. First quarter 2010 IFRS and Non-IFRS profit after tax and IFRS and Non-IFRS basic earnings per share were also impacted by a lower IFRS and Non-IFRS effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009.

First Quarter 2010 Non-IFRS operating profit excludes acquisition-related charges and discontinued activities totaling €54 million (2009: €78 million). First quarter 2010 Non-IFRS profit after tax and Non-IFRS basic earnings per share exclude acquisition-related charges and discontinued activities totaling €48 million net of tax (2009: €67 million).

“We are excited by our strong momentum and our return to growth in the first quarter,” said Werner Brandt, CFO of SAP. “A solid top-line performance in combination with an increasing operating margin puts us on track to achieve our financial objective of profitable growth over the long term.”

Bill McDermott, co-CEO of SAP added, “The first quarter growth was made possible by all around solid execution in both our large, well established markets and our fast growing emerging markets. We saw strong results from the rapidly expanding demand for SAP BusinessObjects solutions, as well as in our small and midsized enterprise business. We were also pleased by the strong performance in our focus industries as our customers are turning to SAP to help their businesses run better.”

“As the environment improves and customers begin to invest for growth again, SAP is extremely well-positioned because of our broad and consistently integrated portfolio of products supporting business processes and enabling business insight through analytics,” said Jim Hagemann Snabe, co-CEO of SAP. “We have the outstanding ability to innovate technology and solutions that work seamlessly together regardless of whether they are delivered on premise, on demand, or on device.”

Cash Flow

Operating cash flow was €772 million (2009: €1.39 billion), a decrease of 44%. Operating cash flow in the first quarter 2010 was below the prior year comparison, mainly due to our decision to delay billing our customers for the 2010 support fees until customers had communicated whether they chose SAP Enterprise Support or SAP Standard Support — an option offered under the introduction of SAP’s two-tiered support model. Free cash flow was €715 million (2009: €1.34 billion), a decrease of 46%. Free cash flow was 28% of total

SAP Reports First Quarter 2010 Results Page 4

revenues (2009: 56%). At March 31, 2010, SAP had a total group liquidity of €3.00 billion (December 31, 2009: €2.28 billion), which includes cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short term investments. At March 31, 2010, net liquidity, defined as total group liquidity less bank liabilities, was €2.30 billion.

Business Outlook

SAP is providing the following outlook for the full-year 2010, which is unchanged from the outlook issued on January 27, 2010:

• The Company expects full-year 2010 non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue to increase in a range of 4% to 8% at constant currencies (2009: €8.2 billion).

• The Company expects its full-year 2010 non-IFRS operating margin to be in a range of 30% to 31% at constant currencies (2009: 27.4%).

• The Company projects an effective tax rate of 27.5% to 28.5% (based on IFRS) for 2010 (2009: 28.1%).

*

Adjustments in the revenue line items are for support revenue that an entity acquired by SAP would have recognized had it remained a stand-alone entity but that SAP is not permitted to recognize as revenue under IFRS as a result of business combination accounting rules. Adjustments in the operating expense line items are for acquisition-related charges and discontinued activities. See Explanations of Non-IFRS Measures for details.

**

Constant currency revenue and operating income figures are calculated by translating revenue and operating income of the current period using the average exchange rates from the previous year’s respective period instead of the current period. Constant currency period-over-period changes are calculated by comparing the current year’s non-IFRS constant currency numbers with the non-IFRS number of the previous year’s respective period. See Explanations of Non-IFRS Measures for details.

Differences may exist due to rounding.

Explanations of Non-IFRS Measures

This document discloses certain financial measures, such as non-IFRS revenues, non-IFRS expenses, non-IFRS operating income, non-IFRS operating margin, non-IFRS net income, non-IFRS earnings per share, free cash flow as well as constant currency revenue and operating income measures that are not prepared in accordance with IFRS and are therefore considered non-IFRS financial measures. Our non-IFRS financial measures may not correspond to non-IFRS financial measures that other companies report. The non-IFRS financial measures that we report should be considered in addition to, and not as substitutes for or superior to, revenue, operating income, cash flows, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Our non-IFRS financial measures included in this document are reconciled to the nearest IFRS measure in the tables on the pages F4 to F7 above.

We believe that the supplemental historical and prospective non-IFRS financial information presented here provides useful supplemental information to investors because it is the same information used by our management in running our business and making financial, strategic and operational decisions — in addition to financial data prepared in accordance with IFRS — to attain a more transparent understanding of our past performance and our future results. The non-IFRS measures as defined below replaced the Non GAAP measures which we used until the termination of our US GAAP reporting. We use these non-IFRS measures consistently in our planning and forecasting, reporting, compensation and external communication. Specifically,

• Our management primarily uses these non-IFRS measures rather than IFRS measures as the basis for making financial, strategic and operating decisions.

• As far as the variable remuneration components of our board members and employees are based on revenue and income numbers non-IFRS revenue and income measures rather than the respective IFRS measures are the basis for the compensation.

• The annual budgeting process involving all management units is based on non-IFRS revenues and non-IFRS operating income numbers rather than IFRS numbers with costs such as share-based compensation and restructuring only being considered on coporate level.

• All monthly forecast and performance reviews with all senior managers globally are based on these non-IFRS measures, rather than IFRS numbers.

• Both, company-internal target setting and guidance provided to the capital markets are based on non-IFRS revenues and non-IFRS income measures rather than IFRS numbers.

We believe that our non-IFRS measures are useful to investors for the following reasons:

• The non-IFRS measures provide investors with insight into management’s decision-making since management uses these non-IFRS measures to run our business and make financial, strategic and operating decisions.

• The non-IFRS measures provide investors with additional information that enables a comparison of year-over-year operating performance by eliminating certain direct effects of acquisitions.

Our non-IFRS financial measures reflect adjustments based on the items below, as well as the related income tax effects:

Non-IFRS revenue:

Revenues in this document identified as non-IFRS revenue have been adjusted from the respective IFRS numbers by including the full amount of support revenue that would have been recorded by an entity acquired by SAP had it remained a stand-alone entity but which we are not permitted to record as revenue under IFRS due to fair value accounting for the support contracts in effect at the time of the respective acquisition.

Under IFRS, we record at fair value the support contracts in effect at the time an entity was acquired. Consequently, our IFRS support revenue, our IFRS software and software-related service revenue and our IFRS total revenue for periods subsequent to acquisitions do not reflect the full amount of support revenue that would have been recorded for these support contracts absent the acquisition by SAP. Adjusting revenue numbers for this revenue impact (if significant) provides additional insight into the comparability across periods of our ongoing performance.

Non-IFRS operating expense:

Operating expense figures in this report that are identified as non-IFRS operating expense have been adjusted by excluding the following acquisition-related charges:

• Acquisition related charges

• Amortization expense/impairment charges of intangibles acquired in business combinations and certain standalone acquisitions of intellectual property (including purchased in-process research and development)

• Restructuring expenses and settlements of pre-existing relationships incurred in connection with a business combination

• Acquisition-related third-party expenses

• Discontinued Activities: Results of the discontinued operations that qualify as such under IFRS in all respects except that they do not represent a major line of business

Non-IFRS operating income, non-IFRS operating margin, non-IFRS net income and non-IFRS earnings per share:

Operating income, operating margin, net income and earnings per share in this document identified as non-IFRS operating income, non-IFRS operating margin, non-IFRS net income and non-IFRS earnings per share have been adjusted from the respective operating income, operating margin, net income and earnings per share numbers as recorded under IFRS by adjusting for the above mentioned non-IFRS revenues and non-IFRS expenses.

We exclude the acquisition related expense adjustments for the purpose of calculating non-IFRS operating income, non-IFRS operating margin, non-IFRS net income and non-IFRS earnings per share when evaluating the continuing operational performance of the Company because these expenses generally cannot be changed or influenced by management after the relevant acquisition other than by disposing of the acquired assets. Since management at levels below the Executive Board has no influence on these expenses we generally do not consider these expenses for the purpose of evaluating the performance of management units.

We include the revenue adjustements outlined above and exclude the expense adjustements when making decisions to allocate resources, both on a Company level and at lower levels of the organization. In addition, we use these non-IFRS measures to gain a better understanding of the Company’s comparative operating performance from period to period. We believe that our non-IFRS financial measures described above have limitations, which include but are not limited to the following:

• The eliminated amounts may be material to us.

• Without being analyzed in conjunction with the corresponding IFRS measures the non-IFRS measures are not indicative of our present and future performance, foremost for the following reasons:

• While our non-IFRS income numbers reflect the elimination of certain acquisition-related expenses, no eliminations are made for the additional revenues and other revenues that result from the acquisitions.

• The acquisition-related charges that we eliminate in deriving our non-IFRS income numbers are likely to recur should SAP enter into material business combinations in the future.

• The acquisition-related amortization expense that we eliminate in deriving our non-IFRS income numbers is a recurring expense that will impact our financial performance in future years.

• The revenue adjustment for the fair value accounting of the acquired entities’ support contracts and the expense adjustment for acquisition-related charges do not arise from a common conceptual basis. This is because the revenue adjustment aims to improve the comparability of the initial post-acquisition period with future post-acquisition periods while the expense adjustment aims to improve the comparability between post-acquisition periods and pre-acquisition periods. This should particularly be considered when evaluating our non-IFRS operating income and non-IFRS operating margin numbers as these combine our non-IFRS revenue and non-IFRS expenses despite the absence of a common conceptual basis.

Additionally, our non-IFRS measures have been adjusted from the respective IFRS numbers for the results of the discontinued operations that qualify as such under IFRS in all respects except that they do not represent a major line of business. We refer to these activities as “discontinued activities.” Under our U.S. GAAP which we provided until 2009, we presented the results of operations of the TomorrowNow entities as discontinued operations. Under IFRS, results of discontinued operations may only be presented as discontinued operations if a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations is discontinued. Our TomorrowNow operations were not a separate major line of business and thus did not qualify for separate presentation under IFRS. We believe that this additional non-IFRS adjustment to our IFRS numbers for the results of our discontinued TomorrrowNow activities is useful to investors for the following reasons:

• Despite the migration from U.S. GAAP to IFRS, we will continue to internally view the ceased TomorrowNow activities as discontinued activities and thus will continue to exclude potential future TomorrowNow results, which are expected to mainly comprise of expenses in connection with the Oracle lawsuit, from our internal management reporting, planning, forecasting, and compensation plans. Therefore, adjusting our non-IFRS measures for the results of the discontinued TomorrowNow activities provides insight into the financial measures that SAP will use internally beginning in 2010 with our migration to IFRS.

• By adjusting the non-IFRS numbers for the results from our discontinued TomorrowNow operations, the non-IFRS numbers are more comparable to the non-GAAP measures that SAP used through the end of 2009, which makes SAP’s performance measures before and after the full IFRS migration easier to compare.

We believe, however, that the presentation of the non-IFRS measures in conjunction with the corresponding IFRS measures as well as the relevant reconciliations, provides useful information to management and investors regarding present and future business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. We therefore do not evaluate our growth and performance without considering both non-IFRS measures and the relevant IFRS measures. We caution the readers of this document to follow a similar approach by considering our non-IFRS measures only in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, revenues or other measures of our financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

F9

Free Cash Flow

We use our free cash flow measure to estimate the cash flow remaining after all expenditures required to maintain or expand the organic business have been paid off. This assists management with the supplemental information to assess our liquidity needs. We calculate free cash flow as net cash from operating activities minus additions to non-current assets, excluding additions from acquisitions. Free cash flow should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, cash flow or other measures of liquidity and financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Constant Currency Period-Over-Period Changes

We believe it is important for investors to have information that provides insight into our sales. Revenue measures determined under IFRS provide information that is useful in this regard. However, both sales volume and currency effects impact period-over-period changes in sales revenue. We do not sell standardized units of products and services, so we cannot provide relevant information on sales volume by providing data on the changes in product and service units sold. To provide additional information that may be useful to investors in breaking down and evaluating changes in sales volume, we present information about our revenue and various values and components relating to operating income that are adjusted for foreign currency effects. We calculate constant currency year-over-year changes in revenue and operating income by translating foreign currencies using the average exchange rates from the previous year instead of the report year.

We believe that data on constant currency period-over-period changes has limitations, particularly as the currency effects that are eliminated constitute a significant element of our revenue and expenses and may severely impact our performance. We therefore limit our use of constant currency period-over-period changes to the analysis of changes in volume as one element of the full change in a financial measure. We do not evaluate our results and performance without considering both constant currency period-over-period changes in non-IFRS revenue and non-IFRS operating income on the one hand and changes in revenue, expenses, income, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS on the other. We caution the readers of this document to follow a similar approach by considering data on constant currency period-over-period changes only in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, changes in revenue, expenses, income, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
