Interim Management Statement

SDL plc, the leader in the emerging market for Global Information Management solutions, today publishes its Interim Management Statement for the period from 1 January 2010 to 31st March 2010, as required by the Listing Authority disclosure rules.

Performance for the first quarter is in line with management expectations for both revenue and operating profit.

While management remains cautious in its sentiment towards sustained global economic recovery we see signs of improving outlook and pipeline.

Given the global earnings profile of SDL, we view that trading for the full year will remain in line with the Board's expectations.
