PRESS RELEASE

SAPIENS REPORTS STRONG Q1 2009 RESULTS

Q1/2009 NET INCOME OF $1 MILLION OR $0.05 PER SHARE

Cary, N.C. – May 18, 2009 – Sapiens International Corporation N.V. (NASDAQ and TASE: SPNS) (“Sapiens” or “Company”), a leading global provider of innovative business solutions that modernize business processes and enable insurance organizations to adapt quickly to change, and a member of the Formula (NASDAQ: FORTY and TASE: FORT) Group, today announced its results of operations for the first quarter of 2009.

Highlights for Q1 2009

  Revenues increased by 2% to $10.7 million compared with $10.5 million in Q1 2008

  Continuous success of Company’s growth plan with the tenth consecutive quarter of operating profit, which totaled $1.1 million, a 155% increase compared with $423,000 in Q1 2008

  Third consecutive quarter of net income, reaching $1.0 million compared with a $1.2 million net loss in Q1 2008.

  In January 2009 the Company has repurchased approximately $0.4 million nominal value of its convertible debentures (series A), thus reaching a total repayment to-date of approximately 80% of the total issued series.

Roni Al-Dor, President and CEO of Sapiens, commented, “In the first quarter of 2009 we continued the growth momentum of all operating parameter despite the challenging world-wide economical environment – our revenues increased by 2% to $10.7 million compared to the same period of 2008. The increase is a result of further implementation of our solutions by existing and new customers. We achieved yet another quarter of operating income and our third consecutive quarter of net income, reaching $1.0 million compared with a net loss of $1.2 million Q1 2008.

We are witnessing increased interest from the market in our INSIGHT for Closed Books and Reinsurance platforms. As the recent economical climate and increasing regulatory requirements are driving insurance companies to seek ways of achieving lower policy administration costs, whilst actively managing their risks, we offer them our comprehensive INSIGHT suite of insurance solutions. This suite includes a solution for both operational excellence, through our INSIGHT for Closed Books platform, as well as a Re-Insurance web-enabled solution that streamlines and reduces the cost of handling all reinsurance functions”.



“Looking forward, with proven solutions, improved financial performance and a broad customer base, I believe that we are well positioned to take future traction in our space.”

Comment Regarding Non-GAAP
Sapiens’ management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP measures can enhance the understanding of the company’s ongoing economic performance, and provides useful information to investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the company’s financial condition and results of operations. Sapiens therefore uses internally the non-GAAP information to evaluate and manage the Company’s operations.



This non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Sapiens believes that non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Sapiens’ results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate Sapiens’ results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.

Please refer to the Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Results at the end of this release.
