Bernard Charlès, Dassault Systems President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Dassault Systems had an excellent second quarter and first half reflecting the contribution of our PLM solutions to product competitiveness and innovation. In particular, we had an excellent dynamic in software across our leading brands with new wins and additional business in many of our verticals, including automotive, aerospace, high tech, energy, apparel and life sciences among others.

“We benefited from strong growth across our sales channels as we continue to focus on working closely together with our partners, improving our sales coverage and providing high value to our customers. In particular, our PLM Business Transformation channel delivered a strong performance this quarter thanks to IBM PLM as well as our direct sales force.”

Second Quarter Financial Highlights

GAAP total revenue increased 13% in constant currencies and non-GAAP total revenue increased 12% in constant currencies.
By geographic region and in constant currencies as applicable, total GAAP revenue in Europe was up 12% (non-GAAP up 11%), the Americas was higher by 19% (non-GAAP up 17%), and Asia increased 10% (non-GAAP up 9%).
GAAP software revenue increased 17% in constant currencies. Non-GAAP software revenue increased 15% on new licenses revenue growth of 12% and non-GAAP recurring software revenue growth of 18% (all figures in constant currencies).
GAAP PLM software revenue increased 17% in constant currencies. Non-GAAP PLM software revenue growth of 16% in constant currencies was led by CATIA with non- GAAP software revenue growth of 20% in constant currencies. ENOVIA non-GAAP software revenue increased 11% in constant currencies. SIMULIA software revenue increased double-digits in constant currencies in the second quarter.
GAAP Mainstream 3D software revenue increased 14% in constant currencies. Non- GAAP Mainstream 3D software revenue increased 13% in constant currencies on strong growth in maintenance revenue, new SolidWorks seat growth of 9% and growth in sales of Mainstream 3D product data management and analysis software.
Services and other revenue, representing 15% of total revenue, decreased 2% in constant currencies. As noted in the first quarter, services and other revenue growth trends during 2008 largely reflect the winding down of historical channel management activities formerly rendered to IBM. DS consulting revenue delivered solid growth in constant currencies in the second quarter.
GAAP operating margin was 19.8%. Non-GAAP operating margin expanded to 25.1%, up from 23.4% in the year-ago quarter.
GAAP earnings per diluted share increased 16%. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share increased 10% to €0.46 principally reflecting an increase in non-GAAP operating income of 13% offset in part by a significant reduction in financial revenue principally due to endof- period foreign currency translation impacts.
Recent new wins included, among others:
- ENOVIA new wins: Nokia Siemens Networks in high tech, OKG in energy, Pacific Brands and Under Armour in apparel, Carbon Motors in automotive and Parker Hannifin in aerospace;
- SIMULIA new wins: Cambric Corporation in business services, GN Resound in life sciences and Lenovo in high tech;
- DELMIA new wins: Gillett Evernham Motorsports in automotive;
- CATIA new wins: Arup in construction and Tenpaku. R Corporation in automotive;
- SolidWorks new wins: BANSS Schlacht- und Fördertechnik and Douglas Machine in special machinery and Intertechne in energy.

IFRS Financial Information

Dassault Systems expects to publish its IFRS 2008 Half Year Report on or before August 6, 2008 and will issue a press release at that time indicating that the Half Year report in French and English has been published and made available on the Company’s website.

The table on page 13 of this press release sets forth a summary reconciliation of the Company’s financial results as presented under U.S. GAAP to its financial results as presented under IFRS as well as a summary reconciliation of its supplemental non-GAAP financial information to its supplemental adjusted IFRS financial information.

Business Outlook

Thibault de Tersant, Senior Executive Vice President and CFO, commented, “We are reconfirming our 2008 financial objectives for software revenue growth, operating margin expansion and EPS, based upon the business opportunities we see as well as the visibility provided by our financial model, and despite the economic environment.

“In July we completed the spin-off of one of our internal reseller businesses, DSF, and also completed the acquisition of Engineous Software. Therefore, we are updating our full year revenue range to take into account the net €6-7 million estimated effect of these transactions, with the new mid-point of our range now at about €1.325 billion, from €1.332 billion previously.”

The Company’s objectives are prepared and communicated only on a non-GAAP basis and are subject to the cautionary statement set forth below. The Company’s objectives are the following:

Third quarter 2008 non-GAAP total revenue objective of about €305 to €315 million and non- GAAP EPS of about €0.41 to €0.44;
2008 non-GAAP software revenue objective reiterated at about 12% to 13% growth in constant currencies;
2008 non-GAAP operating margin objective reiterated at about 27% to 27.5%;
Updating 2008 non-GAAP total revenue constant currency objective and reported revenue range to take into account the net €6-7 million effect of the July 2008 spin-off of DSF (€11 million revenue impact) and the addition of Engineous Software (€4 to €5 million revenue estimate) leading to 2008 non-GAAP revenue growth of about 9% to 10% in constant currencies and non-GAAP revenue range of about €1.320 to €1.330 billion from €1.325 to €1.340 billion;
2008 non-GAAP EPS reiterated at about €2.10 to €2.17 per diluted share;
Objectives based upon exchange rate assumptions for the 2008 third quarter of US$1.60 per €1.00 and JPY 160 per €1.00 and 2008 full year exchange rate assumptions of US$1.57 per €1.00 and JPY 160 per €1.00;
The Company anticipates that it will provide initial objectives with respect to its fiscal year 2009 at the time of its fourth quarter 2008 announcement which it expects to release in February 2009.

The non-GAAP objectives set forth above do not take into account the following accounting elements: deferred revenue write-downs estimated at approximately €1 million for 2008; stock-based compensation expense estimated at approximately €18 million for 2008 and amortization of acquired intangibles estimated at approximately €42 million for 2008. Those elements have not been updated yet to reflect the impact of the Engineous acquisition. In addition, the above objectives do not include any impact from other operating income and expense, net comprised of income and expenses in connection with the relocation of the Company’s corporate headquarters and restructuring expenses. These estimates also do not include any new stock option or share grants, or any new acquisitions or restructurings completed after July 31, 2008.
