TABLE OF CONTENTS
SAP AG
FORM 6-K
On April 30, 2008, SAP AG, a stock corporation organized under the laws of the Federal Republic of
Germany (SAP), issued a press release (the Press Release) announcing SAPs preliminary
financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008. The Press Release is attached as
Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
This Press Release discloses certain non-GAAP measures.
These measures are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and are, therefore,
considered non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a companys
performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or
included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
Please refer to the Appendix at the end of the Press Release for further information regarding the non-GAAP measures.
As used herein, GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
Any statements contained in this document that are not historical facts are forward-looking
statements as defined in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as
anticipate, believe, estimate, expect, forecast, intend, may, plan, project,
predict, should and will and similar expressions as they relate to SAP are intended to
identify such forward-looking statements. SAP undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise
any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations. The factors
that could affect SAPs future financial results are discussed more fully in SAPs filings with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), including SAPs most recent Annual Report on
Form 20-F for 2007 filed with the SEC. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their dates.
