BlackLine Systems to Deliver Two Presentations with SAP at Financials 2012 Europe Conference in Milan

SENIOR FINANCE MANAGER FROM THE SCOTTS MIRACLE-GRO COMPANY TO DISCUSS EASE OF INTEGRATION WITH SAP® SOLUTIONS, BENEFITS, COST-SAVINGS REALIZED SINCE USING BLACKLINE

LOS ANGELES – June 5, 2012 – The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company is teaming up with financial software provider BlackLine Systems and enterprise application software leader SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) to give a presentation entitled “How Scotts Miracle-Gro Closes its Books with Confidence and Achieves Balance Sheet Integrity with Solutions from BlackLine and SAP” at the Financials 2012 Europe conference this week in Milan.

A senior finance manager from Scotts France, SAS will present a case study on the ease of integration with SAP® solutions and key benefits and return on investment (ROI) the company has realized since using BlackLine on a global basis.

The presentation with Scotts Miracle-Gro is one of two that BlackLine will deliver alongside SAP during the conference.

Both presentations are designed to inform customers, whether operating in an environment of only SAP solutions or applications from multiple vendors, how account reconciliation process optimization can help them achieve a quicker and more accurate financial close process.
