In the first quarter of 2001, revenues increased 29% over the same period last year to E1.5 billion (2000: E1.2 billion). Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") rose to E259 million (2000: E-62 million). First quarter 2001 operating income before charges for stock-based compensation programs (STAR and LTI) rose 82% to E233 million (2000: E128 million), resulting in an improvement of the respective operating margin to about 15%, up from 11% in the first quarter of 2000. Net income for the first quarter 2001 grew 109% to E117 million (2000: E56 million). Earnings per ordinary share for the quarter was E0.36 (2000: E0.18). "SAP's product offering is broader and more functional than ever before. Our focused e-business strategy is paying off as we continue to expand our technological and market leadership," said Hasso Plattner, Co-Chairman and CEO of SAP AG. "Matched with our unique industry knowledge, customers receive the best return ever on their software investment." In the quarter, revenues in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region increased 31% to E796 million (2000: E608 million) and in the Asia-Pacific region (APA) revenues were up 28% to E178 million (2000: E139 million). Revenues in the Americas region rose 26% to E550 million (2000: E436 million). At constant currency rates, revenues in the Americas rose 20%. "SAP is extremely well positioned to compete in a more complex and challenging software sales environment," said Henning Kagermann, Co-Chairman and CEO of SAP AG. "We've become more - more - 2 - 7 - efficient, and our sales force is better equipped to demonstrate the competitive advantages offered by our e-business solutions. Our geographic strength is reflected in the balanced nature of our sales figures." Although the current environment is challenging, SAP remains confident about expectations for its operations through the first three quarters of this year. For the nine months ending September 30, 2001, the company expects that revenue will slightly exceed the 23% growth rate achieved in fiscal year 2000. Operating margins (before stock-based compensation programs and acquisition-related charges) for the nine months are expected to increase by 1-2 percentage points over the 14% reached over the first nine months of 2000. Product revenues in the first quarter rose 27% to E943 million (2000: E742 million). License revenues grew 24% to E458 million (2000: E369 million). Consulting revenues increased 38% to E458 million (2000: E332 million). Training revenues were up 15% to E109 million (2000: E95 million). The number of full-time equivalent employees at March 31, 2001, was 25,218, a 14% increase over the number at March 31, 2000. Since December 31, 2000, SAP has added more than 1,000 new employees.
