VÉLIZY-VILLACOUBLAY, France — (BUSINESS WIRE) — July 24, 2017 — Dassault Systèmes (Paris: DSY) (Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA), the 3DEXPERIENCE Company, world leader in 3D design software, 3D Digital Mock Up and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, today announced IFRS unaudited financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2017. These results were reviewed by the Company’s Board of Directors on July 24, 2017.

Summary Second Quarter and First Half 2017 Highlights
(Unaudited; revenue figures in constant currencies; non-IFRS)

• Q2 results well aligned with Dassault Systèmes guidance: software revenue up 7%, new licenses revenue up 8%, operating margin of 30.1% and EPS at €0.62, up 9%
• Q2 SOLIDWORKS software revenue up 14% on multiple global demand drivers
• Strong cash-flow from operations, up 32% at €592 million in H1
• 2017 non-IFRS financial objectives updated: Confirming revenue growth constant currency objective, updating reported revenue range and EPS in euros for currency weakness
• Boeing will expand its deployment of Dassault Systèmes’ products across its commercial aviation, space and defense programs to include DS’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform

Bernard Charlès, Dassault Systèmes’ Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented, “In the second quarter, we entered into a new and expanded strategic partnership with Boeing. This agreement spans Boeing’s Commercial Aircraft, Space and Defense divisions, with Boeing adopting the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform for Manufacturing Operations Management and Product Lifecycle Management and extending our software usage for design, engineering simulation and digital manufacturing software.

“This new agreement, with the deployment of our 3DEXPERIENCE platform to support Boeing’s complete value chain, from innovation to manufacturing and after sales, as well as enhancement of data thus created, represents a new step, equivalent to or even more important in potential reach than the previous one, thanks to the ability to holistically evaluate, with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, all data produced from the different value streams, and to convert this data into assets, thus delivering massive benefits for users and their corporations.

“Looking back, twenty-five years ago, the importance of the digital world’s role in innovation was truly first revealed thanks to Boeing’s historical decision at that time to rely on Dassault Systèmes’ Digital Mock-Up software to design the new B-777, paving the way for digital twins of products.

“Finally, while we were pleased with second quarter results having reached the high-end of our objectives for software revenue and EPS, it is only a step on a trajectory on which Dassault Systèmes should see an acceleration of its growth, based upon the multiple strategic clients’ decisions, like Boeing’s, demonstrating our ideal positioning to bring value to all the industries we serve.”

Summary of Recent Business, Technology and Customer Announcements

Customers

In a separate press release issued today, Dassault Systèmes announced that it has entered into a new, extended strategic partnership agreement with The Boeing Corporation. Pursuant to the agreement, Boeing will expand its deployment of Dassault Systèmes’ software across Boeing’s commercial aviation, space and defense programs to include Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform. This decision follows a competitive process that included the rigorous analysis of technical and functional capabilities, cost and business benefits across the value chain. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform can reduce integration and support costs, improve productivity, foster new innovation, and aid in the introduction of best practice processes to deliver standard work across the value chain. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform cannot only simulate products and processes, but also find and eliminate potential risks and quality issues before production. The platform’s single source of data across all applications will provide reliable and actionable real-time information and seamless communication throughout the entire enterprise and supply chain as well as across product generations. This digital continuity will improve data and analytics capabilities.

On June 22, 2017 Dassault Systèmes and the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) jointly announced the signing of a contract to establish a Sino-French Industry Joint Innovation Center that will operate across the complex system lifecycle specific to the aviation industry and its entire industrial chain. Dassault Systèmes and AVIC will strive to make the center an important contributor of the "Made in China 2025" and “Industrie du Futur” cooperation framework through sustained investment by both companies. The Sino-French Industry Joint Innovation Center will be located in the China Aviation Industry Science and Technology Park of Zhongguancun, Beijing.

Investments

On June 20, 2017, Dassault Systèmes announced that it had acquired a majority stake in Outscale, a leader in enterprise-class cloud services, thereby strengthening the Company’s position to provide an extensive cloud software offer in its market. Founded in France in 2010, Outscale is an ISO/IEC 27001:2013 security certified company that provides enterprise-class cloud computing infrastructure services (IaaS) to customers through its ten data centers in Europe, North America and Asia. With this investment, Dassault Systèmes is now able to adjust and control its cloud resources and services to manage peaks in activity, further diversify its industry segments, deploy new features, and provide advanced on premise, private and hybrid cloud solutions for its customers. The acquisition does not have an impact on the Company’s revenues as it was the principal customer of Outscale prior to this acquisition.

On June 12, 2017 Dassault Systèmes announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire AITAC BV, a Dutch company specialized in marine and offshore engineering software. With this acquisition, Dassault Systèmes will further strengthen its solutions designed to bring digital transformation to the marine and offshore industry by providing cutting-edge, industry-specific technologies for its 3DEXPERIENCE platform customers. AITAC’s Smart Drawings software application is used by shipyards and offshore companies to automate the creation of drawings from a master 3D model of a ship, platform or other structure designed using Dassault Systèmes’ CATIA applications.

Products and Industry Solution Experiences

Dassault Systèmes’ solution operates seamlessly on a secure government cloud environment, a vital requirement for Rockwell Collins.

Business Outlook

Thibault de Tersant, Senior Executive Vice President, CFO, commented, “During the second quarter, we delivered our key financial metrics - software, new licenses revenue, earnings per share - at the high end of our guidance and reported a strong operational cash flow increase. The signing of the extended strategic partnership with Boeing was a remarkable milestone. Its ramp-up, starting in 2018, should drive revenue growth for several years and represents a key inflection point in 3DEXPERIENCE adoption by the market.

“Looking forward, we are reconfirming for 2017 our constant currencies objectives for total revenue growth of 6% to 7%, new licenses revenue growth of 8% to 10%, which implies a two-digit new licenses revenue growth in the second half of 2017, and recurring revenue growth of about 6%, with the year as a whole reflecting further strengthening of our competitive positioning.

“While maintaining the revenue and new license growth rate of our objectives, excluding currency impact, we are reflecting the recent strengthening of the euro against all our major currencies, leading to a reduction of our reported revenue range of €50 million. While preserving our investments, we managed to keep our margin target unchanged at around 31.5% and reflected the reduction of reported revenue on EPS.” (All figures on a non-IFRS basis.)

The Company’s third quarter and full year 2017 financial objectives are as follows:

• Third quarter 2017 non-IFRS total revenue objective of about €760 to €775 million based upon the exchange rates assumptions below, growing about 6% to 8% in constant currencies; non-IFRS operating margin of about 31.0% to 32.0%; and non-IFRS EPS of about €0.62 to €0.65;
• 2017 non-IFRS revenue growth objective of about 6% to 7% in constant currencies at €3.240 to €3.265 billion (reflecting the principal 2017 currency exchange rate assumptions below for the US dollar and Japanese yen as well as the potential impact from additional currencies representing about 10% of the Company’s total revenue in 2016);
• 2017 non-IFRS operating margin of about 31.5% compared to 2016 where the non-IFRS operating margin was 31.2%;
• 2017 non-IFRS EPS of about €2.62 to €2.66, representing a growth objective of about 5% to 7%;
• Objectives are based upon exchange rate assumptions of US$1.15 per €1.00 for the 2017 third quarter and US$1.12 per €1.00 for the full year; and JPY130 per €1.00 for the 2017 third quarter and JPY125.9 per €1.00 for the full year before hedging.

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

The 2017 non-IFRS objectives set forth above do not take into account the following accounting elements and are estimated based upon the 2017 principal currency exchange rates above: deferred revenue write-downs estimated at approximately €12 million, share-based compensation expense, including related social charges, estimated at approximately €99 million and amortization of acquired intangibles estimated at approximately €161 million. The above objectives also do not include any impact from other operating income and expense, net principally comprised of acquisition, integration and restructuring expenses, from one-time items included in financial revenue and from one-time tax restructuring gains and losses. Finally, these estimates do not include any new stock option or share grants, or any new acquisitions or restructurings completed after July 25, 2017.

Third Quarter 2017 Earnings, October 25, 2017

Forward-looking Information

Statements herein that are not historical facts but express expectations or objectives for the future, including but not limited to statements regarding the Company’s non-IFRS financial performance objectives, are forward-looking statements.

Such forward-looking statements are based on Dassault Systèmes management's current views and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Actual results or performances may differ materially from those in such statements due to a range of factors. The Company’s current outlook for 2017 takes into consideration, among other things, an uncertain global economic environment. In light of the continuing uncertainties regarding economic, business, social and geopolitical conditions at the global level, the Company’s revenue, net earnings and cash flows may grow more slowly, whether on an annual or quarterly basis. While the Company makes every effort to take into consideration this uncertain macroeconomic outlook, the Company’s business results, however, may not develop as anticipated. Further, there may be a substantial time lag between an improvement in global economic and business conditions and an upswing in the Company’s business results. The Company’s actual results or performance may also be materially negatively affected by numerous risks and uncertainties, as described in the “Risk Factors” section of the 2016 Document de Référence (Annual Report) filed with the AMF (French Financial Markets Authority) on March 22, 2017, and also available on the Company’s website www.3ds.com.

In preparing such forward-looking statements, the Company has in particular assumed an average US dollar to euro exchange rate of US$1.15 per €1.00 for the 2017 third quarter and US$1.12 per €1.00 for the full year 2017 as well as an average Japanese yen to euro exchange rate of JPY130 to €1.00 for the third quarter and JPY125.9 to €1.00 for the full year 2017 before hedging; however, currency values fluctuate, and the Company’s results of operations may be significantly affected by changes in exchange rates.

Non-IFRS Financial Information

Readers are cautioned that the supplemental non-IFRS information presented in this press release is subject to inherent limitations. It is not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should not be considered as a substitute for IFRS measurements. Also, the Company’s supplemental non-IFRS financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled non-IFRS measures used by other companies. Further specific limitations for individual non-IFRS measures, and the reasons for presenting non-IFRS financial information, are set forth in the Company’s 2016 Document de Référence filed with the AMF on March 22, 2017.

In the tables accompanying this press release the Company sets forth its supplemental non-IFRS figures for revenue, operating income, operating margin, net income and diluted earnings per share, which exclude the effect of adjusting the carrying value of acquired companies’ deferred revenue, share-based compensation expense and related social charges, the amortization of acquired intangible assets, other operating income and expense, net, certain one-time items included in financial revenue and other, net, and the income tax effect of the non-IFRS adjustments and certain one-time tax effects. The tables also set forth the most comparable IFRS financial measure and reconciliations of this information with non-IFRS information.

Information in Constant Currencies

When the Company believes it would be helpful for understanding trends in its business, the Company provides percentage increases or decreases in its revenue (in both IFRS as well as non-IFRS) to eliminate the effect of changes in currency values, particularly the U.S. dollar and the Japanese yen, relative to the euro. When trend information is expressed herein "in constant currencies", the results of the "prior" period have first been recalculated using the average exchange rates of the comparable period in the current year, and then compared with the results of the comparable period in the current year.

This press release constitutes the quarterly financial information required by article L.451-1-2 IV of the French Monetary and Financial Code (Code Monétaire et Financier).
