BUSINESS OBJECTS REPORTS Q3 FISCAL 2007 RESULTS
PARIS and SAN JOSE, Calif. — October 24, 2007— Business Objects (Nasdaq: BOBJ; Euronext Paris ISIN code FR0004026250 — BOB), the world’s leading provider of business intelligence (BI) solutions, today announced results for the third quarter of fiscal 2007.
Total revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 were $369 million, up 19 percent year-over-year. License revenues were $139 million, up 6 percent year-over-year. Services revenues, including product maintenance, consulting and training, were $230 million, up 29 percent year-over-year. Business Objects completed the acquisitions of Cartesis S.A. on June 1, 2007 and Inxight Software, Inc. on July 3, 2007, which together added approximately $21 million in total revenues in the third quarter of 2007.
US GAAP diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 were $0.07 (which included a charge of approximately $7 million, or $0.05 per share, for the final settlement of the previously disclosed litigation with Decision Warehouse), as compared to $0.21 per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2006. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 were $0.39, as compared to $0.41 per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2006. The year-over-year decline in both GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per share for the third quarter of 2007 was due in part to a shortfall in license revenues and in part to the short-term dilutive impact from recent acquisitions, including net restructuring costs of approximately $1 million.
The results for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 were consistent with the preliminary results released by the company on October 7, 2007.
“While we continued to generate double-digit year-over-year total revenue growth in all geographies, the third quarter license revenues were below our expectations, primarily due to deal deferrals in certain sectors and to distractions relating to M&A activity,” said John Schwarz, chief executive officer of Business Objects. “On a positive note, during the quarter, we continued to significantly expand our solution offerings for customers, through numerous new product launches and more impactful alliances. We continue to see strong demand from CIOs, CFOs and other line-of-business executives looking for end-to-end BI solutions.”
All figures referred to herein are stated in US dollars unless otherwise indicated. On a constant currencies basis for the third quarter of fiscal 2007, total revenues were up 15 percent year-over-year, license revenues were up 2 percent year-over-year, and services revenues were up 24 percent year-over-year. The non-GAAP results for the third quarter of fiscal 2007, as defined below in the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures”, differ from results measured under US GAAP as they exclude amortization of intangible assets, write-off of in-process R&D from acquisitions, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring costs and other non-recurring or non-cash charges. A reconciliation of US GAAP to non-GAAP results is included at the end of this press release.

Q3 Fiscal 2007 Highlights
Double-Digit Revenue Growth in All Geographies
| ° | | Total revenues in the Americas for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 were $198 million, up 13 percent year-over-year. The Americas closed 6 transactions over $1 million in license revenues in the third quarter. |
|
| ° | | Total revenues in Europe, Middle-East and Africa (or EMEA) for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 were $145 million, up 29 percent year-over-year (up 21 percent in constant currencies). EMEA closed 1 transaction over $1 million in license revenues in the third quarter. The majority of the revenues from Cartesis were generated and recorded in EMEA. |
|
| ° | | Total revenues in Asia-Pacific and Japan (or APJ) for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 were $26 million, up 16 percent year-over-year. APJ closed 1 transaction over $1 million in license revenues in the third quarter. |

All Business Lines Contributed to Revenue Growth
| ° | | License revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 were $139 million, up 6 percent year-over-year (up 2 percent in constant currencies). All product lines contributed to reported license growth. |
|
| ° | | Maintenance revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 were $163 million, up 27 percent year-over-year (up 22 percent in constant currencies). Continued high customer renewal rates and the up-selling of premium support services contributed to the growth in maintenance revenues. |
|
| ° | | Global services revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2007, including consulting and training, were $67 million, up 34 percent year-over-year (up 31 percent in constant currencies).

Profitability Impacted by Shortfall in License Revenues and Short-term Dilution from Recent Acquisitions
| ° | | Income from operations on a US GAAP basis for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was at $11 million (after a $7 million legal contingency reserve for the final settlement of the previously disclosed litigation with Decision Warehouse), or 3 percent of total revenues, as compared to $29 million, or 10 percent of total revenues, for the third quarter of fiscal 2006. |
|
| ° | | Income from operations on a non-GAAP basis for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was at $54 million, or 15 percent of total revenues, as compared to $53 million, or 17 percent of total revenues, for the third quarter of fiscal 2006. |

Business Outlook
Due to potential changes in customer buying behavior resulting from the pending transaction with SAP, the anticipated impact of the transaction on Business Objects’ expenses, and uncertainty regarding the timing of the closing of the tender, Business Objects anticipates less fourth quarter predictability than usual and is thus suspending its forward-looking financial guidance. Due to the combination of the actual third quarter results being less than previous guidance and the potential impact of the pending transaction on the fourth quarter results, investors should no longer rely upon the guidance statements made in Business Objects’ press release issued on July 25, 2007.

Tender Offer Agreement Signed with SAP
On October 7, 2007, Business Objects issued a release announcing that it had signed a tender offer agreement with SAP, and that SAP intends to launch a direct cash tender offer for all outstanding shares, convertible bonds and warrants of Business Objects at€42 per share. Additionally, on October 22, 2007, Business Objects issued a press release announcing the filing of a draft prospectus (“Projet de Note d’Information en Réponse”) with theAutorité des marchés financiers (or AMF)in response to the tender offer initiated by SAP France S.A. for Business Objects’ shares, convertible bonds and warrants.
These press releases and Business Objects’ draft prospectus are available on Business Objects’ web site (www.businessobjects.com) as well as the AMF (Autorité des marchés financiers) website (www.amf-france.org).
Conference Call
Business Objects will hold a conference call to discuss its financial results for the third quarter of 2007 on October 24, 2007. The call will begin at 5:00 a.m. PT (8:00 a.m. ET, 1:00 p.m. GMT, 2:00 p.m. CET). The dial-in numbers are +1 (800) 399-7988 for North America and +1 (706) 634-5428 for Europe and Asia, with ID #20490160. The conference call also will be webcast live, and can be accessed on the investor relations section of the company’s website atwww.businessobjects.com/company/investors. A replay of the webcast will be available on the site approximately two hours after the end of the live call.
Accounting Principles
Business Objects prepares its financial statements in accordance with US GAAP. Because Business Objects is listed on both the Eurolist by Euronext™ in France and the Nasdaq Global Select Market in the United States, it is required to separately report consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with both US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The most significant differences between the two reporting standards for Business Objects relate to the treatment of stock-based compensation expense, the accounting for deferred tax assets on certain intercompany transactions, the accounting for business combinations and the accounting for the convertible bonds that the company issued in May 2007.
In accordance with French regulations and IFRS, Business Objects filed with the AMF in France itsDocument de Référence2006 on April 6, 2007 under the registration number D.07-0285, which included its consolidated financial statements for the year ended on December 31, 2006, presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. TheDocument de Référence2006 includes the consolidated information that Business Objects published on April 18, 2007 to theBulletin des Annonces Légales Obligatoires(“BALO”) in France.
4
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The non-GAAP financial measures such as operating income, net income and earnings per share information for the third quarter of 2007 included in this press release are different from those otherwise presented under US GAAP as these non-GAAP measures exclude certain charges. These charges include the write-off of in-process research and development, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring costs and other non-recurring or non-cash charges. The non-GAAP tax rate differs from the US GAAP tax rate due to the elimination of the tax rate effect of the US GAAP expenses that are being eliminated to arrive at the non-GAAP expenses. Business Objects has provided these measures in addition to US GAAP financial results because management believes these non-GAAP measures provide a consistent basis for comparison between quarters and of growth rates year-over-year that are not influenced by certain non-cash charges or impacts of prior period acquisitions, and therefore are helpful in understanding Business Objects’ underlying operating results. These non-GAAP measures are some of the primary measures Business Objects’ management uses for planning and forecasting. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, US GAAP and these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to information provided by other companies. Reconciliations of US GAAP to non-GAAP results are presented at the end of this press release.
Forward-Looking Statements
This release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding the expansion of Business Objects’ solution offerings through numerous new product launches and extended and new alliances, potential changes in customer buying behavior resulting from the pending transaction with SAP, the anticipated impact of the transaction on our expenses and the uncertainty regarding the timing of the closing of the tender offer. Actual events or results may differ materially from those described in this press release due to a number of risks and uncertainties. These potential risks and uncertainties include, among others: the impact of the proposed acquisition on Business Objects’ financial results, including expenses; SAP’s and Business Objects’ ability to complete the proposed transaction, including the outcome of regulatory reviews of the proposed transaction; the failure to retain key Business Objects employees; customer and partner uncertainty regarding the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction; the failure of SAP and Business Objects to achieve the anticipated synergies of the proposed transaction; Business Objects’ ability to attract and retain customers for its end-to-end BI solutions; market acceptance of new products; Business Objects’ and Adobe’s ability to fulfill the joint initiatives established under their new strategic alliance arrangement, and other risks detailed in Business Objects’ SEC filings, including its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, which are on file with the SEC and available at the SEC’s website atwww.sec.gov. Business Objects is not obligated to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this document.
