Bernard Charlès, Dassault Systèmes’ Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented,We are experiencing a global Industry Renaissance, bringing new ways, real and virtual, of inventing, learning, producing and trading. The leading businesses of the future will be those that empower the workforce of the future and their value networks with knowledge and know-how to deliver new categories of sustainable solutions. Digital experience platforms are the infrastructures of the 21st century: they have transformed retail, transportation and hospitality services; the industrial world is next. The 3DEXPERIENCE Marketplace positions Dassault Systèmes as a catalyst of this transformation.

“The sharp increase in 3DEXPERIENCE licenses revenue proves that our 3DEXPERIENCE platform opens up whole new market opportunities. It brings unparalleled added value for customers in terms of leadership and innovation as the platform is both an operating system, as shown this quarter by Gilead Sciences and a business model. Our Cloud offer represents for large and smaller companies, like recent new engagements with Kärcher and EVelozcity, the possibility to reduce to zero the distance to their own clients. For the SOLIDWORKS users’ community it represents the opportunity to benefit from a wide range of marketplace services.”

First Quarter 2018 versus 2017 Financial Comparisons on an IAS 18 Basis (“IAS 18 IFRS and IAS 18 non-IFRS”)

Business Outlook

(Discussion on an IAS 18, non-IFRS basis, with revenue growth rates in constant currencies)

Pascal Daloz, Dassault Systèmes’ Executive Vice President, CFO and Corporate Strategy Officer, commented, We expected a strong start to 2018 and are pleased to report that first quarter results came in well aligned with this objective. Software revenue increased 10%, with licenses and other software growth of 14% and recurring software revenue growth of 9% in constant currencies. Earnings per share increased 11% or 26% excluding strong currency headwinds. Those good results are also reflected in strong cash flow from operations, up 17%.

“Importantly, the first quarter results demonstrated the improving breadth and balance of our financial performance. Our three sales channels, all major brands and 9 of 12 geos reported strong license revenue growth in constant currencies. Moreover, looking at total software performance, we saw a similar pattern of strength across Transportation & Mobility, Aerospace & Defense, Industrial Equipment, Consumer Goods & Retail, Architecture, Engineering & Construction and Natural Resources as well as improvement in Life Sciences.

“For the second quarter, we anticipate a strong performance with non-IFRS total revenue growth of 8% to 10% and non-IFRS EPS of about €0.65 to €0.68, representing growth of about 16% to 22% at constant currency (all on an IAS 18 basis).

“We are reconfirming our 2018 financial objectives with IAS 18 non-IFRS total revenue growth of about 8% to 9% in constant currencies, a IAS 18 non-IFRS operating margin of 31% to 31.5%, and IAS 18 non-IFRS earnings per share of €2.83 to €2.88, representing growth of about 11% to 13% at constant currency.

“In summary, the first quarter well underscores our strategy and growth drivers at work. We look forward to sharing our perspectives for the future at our Capital Markets Day on June 15th.”

The Company’s second quarter and full year 2018 financial objectives are given in IAS 18 on a non-IFRS basis:

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

The 2018 non-IFRS objectives, which are stated on an IAS 18 basis, set forth above do not take into account the following accounting elements and are estimated based upon the 2018 principal currency exchange rates above: deferred revenue write-downs estimated at approximately €5 million on an IAS 18 basis, share-based compensation expense, including related social charges, estimated at approximately €78 million and amortization of acquired intangibles estimated at approximately €160 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 April 25, 2018.

Cash Flow and Other Financial Highlights Under IAS 18 For Year-over-Year Comparisons

The Company’s net cash flow from operations for the first quarter ended March 31, 2018 is identical under IFRS 15 in comparison to IAS 18 although some of the line items differ. (See page 19 in the Appendix to this press release for further details including a reconciliation of the cash flow statement and balance sheets under IFRS 15 compared to IAS 18 for the quarter and period ended March 31, 2018.)

IAS 18 net operating cash flow increased 17% to €406.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, compared to €347.8 million in the 2017 First Quarter on growth in net income and working capital evolution.

Dassault Systèmes’ net financial position totaled €1.85 billion at March 31, 2018, compared to €1.46 billion at December 31, 2017, reflecting cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of €2.85 billion and long-term debt of €1.00 billion.

Cash Dividend Recommendation, Annual Shareholders’ Meeting Date and Filing of Regulatory Annual Report

The Board of Directors has scheduled the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting for May 22, 2018 and is recommending a dividend per share equivalent to €0.58 per share for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, representing an increase of approximately 9% compared to the prior year €0.53 per share. In addition, as in recent years, it will also be proposed that each shareholder be granted the option to choose to receive payment of the dividend in cash or new shares. Shareholders may choose payment of the dividend in cash or new shares between May 29, 2018 and June 8, 2018, inclusive. Shares will be traded ex-dividend as of May 29, 2018. Dividends will be made payable as from June 19, 2018. These recommendations are subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting. For further information, see the Company’s 2017 Document de Référence filed with the French Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) on March 21, 2018.

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 2018 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 2017 Document de Référence (Annual Report) filed with the AMF (French Financial Markets Authority) on March 21, 2018 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$1.25 per €1.00 for the 2018 second quarter and US$1.20 per €1.00 for the 2018 second half as well as an average Japanese yen to euro exchange rate of JPY135.0 to €1.00 for the 2018 second quarter and JPY134.5 to €1.00 for the full year 2018 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 2017 Document de Référence filed with the AMF on March 21, 2018.

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.

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).

Information in Constant Currencies

We have followed a long-standing policy of measuring our revenue performance and setting our revenue objectives exclusive of currency in order to measure in a transparent manner the underlying level of improvement in our total revenue and software revenue by type, industry, region and product lines. We believe it is helpful to evaluate our growth exclusive of currency impacts, particularly to help understand revenue trends in our business. Therefore, we provide percentage increases or decreases in our revenue and EPS (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 by us "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.

While constant currency calculations are not considered to be an IFRS measure, we do believe these measures are critical to understanding our global revenue results and to compare with many of our competitors who report their financial results in U.S. dollars. Therefore, we are including this calculation for comparing IFRS revenue figures for comparable periods as well as for comparing non-IFRS revenue figures for comparable periods. All constant currency information is provided on an approximate basis. Unless otherwise indicated, the impact of exchange rate fluctuations is approximately the same for both the Company’s IFRS and supplemental non-IFRS financial data.

We have followed a long-standing policy of setting our revenue growth objectives in constant currencies and calculating a reported revenue range based upon the key currency exchange rate assumptions outlined in our quarterly earnings reports and in our half-year and annual regulatory documents. We also set our non-IFRS revenue objectives in constant currencies in order to provide transparency on our activities as compared to the impact of currency exchange rates.

Information on Growth excluding acquisitions (“organic growth”)

In addition to discussing total growth, we also provide financial information where we discuss growth excluding acquisitions or growth on an organic basis as used alternatively. In both cases, growth excluding acquisitions have been calculated using the following restatements of the scope of consolidation: for entities entering the consolidation scope in the current year, subtracting the contribution of the acquisition from the aggregates of the current year, and for entities entering the consolidation scope in the previous year, subtracting the contribution of the acquisition from January 1st of the current year, until the last day of the month of the current year when the acquisition was made the previous year.

Information on Industrial Sectors

The Company’s global customer base includes companies in 12 industrial sectors: Transportation & Mobility; Industrial Equipment; Aerospace & Defense; Financial & Business Services; High-Tech; Life Sciences; Energy, Process & Utilities; Consumer Goods & Retail; Natural Resources; Architecture, Engineering & Construction; Consumer Packaged Goods & Retail and Marine & Offshore. Commencing in 2012 we implemented an industry go-to-market strategy with the dual objectives of broadening and deepening our presence in our largest industries as well as increasing the contribution from a diversified set of industrial sectors. “Diversification Industries” include: Architecture, Engineering & Construction; Consumer Goods & Retail; Consumer Packaged Goods & Retail; Energy, Process & Utilities; Finance Business Services; High-Tech; Life Sciences; Marine & Offshore; and Natural Resources. “Core Industries” include: Transportation & Mobility, Industrial Equipment, Aerospace & Defense and a portion of Business Services.

3DEXPERIENCE Licenses and Software Contribution

To measure the progressive penetration of 3DEXPERIENCE software, the Company utilizes the following ratios: a) for Licenses revenue, the Company calculates the percentage contribution by comparing total 3DEXPERIENCE Licenses revenue to Licenses revenue for all product lines except SOLIDWORKS and acquisitions (“related Licenses revenue”); and, b) for software revenue, the Company calculates the percentage contribution by comparing total 3DEXPERIENCE software revenue to software revenue for all product lines except SOLIDWORKS and acquisitions (“related software revenue”).

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 Document de référence for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the AMF on March 21, 2018. To compensate for these limitations, the supplemental non-IFRS financial information should be read not in isolation, but only in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS.
