Other Corporate Information

On July 29, 2008, the Board of Directors of Dassault Systèmes approved the voluntary delisting of its American Depositary Shares (ADS) from Nasdaq and its voluntary deregistration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Following the delisting of Dassault Systèmes ADS and deregistration, Dassault Systèmes shares will remain listed on Euronext.

As a result, Dassault Systèmes intends to file a Form 25 with the SEC in October 2008 to effect the delisting. The delisting will be effective ten days after this filing. Dassault Systèmes intends to file a Form 15F with the SEC to deregister and terminate its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act as soon as practicable following the effectiveness of the delisting from Nasdaq. The deregistration will become effective 90 days after the filing of the Form 15F. The Company does not plan to publish a Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

Dassault Systèmes also intends to maintain its American Depository Receipt (ADR) program, which will enable investors to retain their ADRs and facilitate trading on the U.S. Over-The-Counter (OTC) market.

Dassault Systèmes will continue to publish its financial reports, statements and press releases in English as well as information for investors on its website ( www.3ds.com) pursuant to section 12g3-2(b) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act.

The Company intends to continue reporting and publishing quarterly unaudited financial information in U.S. GAAP for the third and fourth quarter 2008 reporting periods in addition to reporting and filing IFRS quarterly financial information as required by the French securities regulation. Starting with fiscal year 2009, DS will solely report and publish its financial information in accordance with IFRS.

IFRS Financial Information

Dassault Systèmes 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 Companys website.

The table on page 13 of this press release sets forth a summary reconciliation of the Companys 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 Companys objectives are prepared and communicated only on a non-GAAP basis and are subject to the cautionary statement set forth below. The Companys objectives are the following:

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 Companys 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.

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 our non-GAAP financial performance objectives, are forward-looking statements (within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).

Such forward-looking statements are based on our 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. In preparing such forward-looking statements, we have in particular assumed an average U.S. dollar to euro exchange rate of US$1.60 per 1.00 and an average Japanese yen to euro exchange rate of JPY160 to 1.00 for the 2008 third quarter and an average U.S. dollar to euro exchange rate of US$1.57 per 1.00 and an average Japanese yen to euro exchange rate of JPY160 to 1.00 for the full year 2008; however, currency values fluctuate, and our results of operations may be significantly affected by changes in exchange rates. We have also assumed that there will be no substantial decline in general levels of corporate spending on information technology, and that our increased responsibility for both indirect and direct PLM sales channels, and the resulting commercial and management challenges, will not prevent us from maintaining growth in revenues or cause us to incur substantial unanticipated costs and inefficiencies. Our actual results or performance may also be materially negatively affected by difficulties or adverse changes affecting our partners or our relationships with our partners, including our longstanding, strategic partner, IBM; new product developments and technological changes; errors or defects in our products; growth in market share by our competitors; and the realization of any risks related to the integration of any newly acquired company and internal reorganizations. Unfavorable changes in any of the above or other factors described in the Companys SEC reports, including the Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2007, which was filed with the SEC on April 4, 2008, could materially affect the Companys financial position or results of operations.

Non-GAAP financial information

Readers are cautioned that the supplemental non-GAAP 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 U.S. GAAP measurements. Also, our supplemental non-GAAP financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Further specific limitations for individual non-GAAP measures, and the reasons for presenting non-GAAP financial information, are set forth in the Companys annual report for the year ended December 31, 2007 on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on April 4, 2008 and in the paragraph below.

In addition to the individual non-GAAP measures described in our most recent Form 20-F, our unaudited U.S. GAAP 2008 quarterly financial statements may reflect other operating income and expense, net comprised of income and expenses related to the relocation of the Companys corporate headquarters and restructuring expenses. In our supplemental non-GAAP financial information, we exclude other operating income and expense effects because of their infrequent or non-recurring nature. As a result, we believe that our supplemental non-GAAP financial information helps investors better understand the current trends in our operating performance. However, other operating income and expense, net are components of our income and expenses for 2008 and by excluding them the supplemental non-GAAP financial information understates the net impact to our net income in 2008. Other operating income and expense, net are generally not recurring, and we do not expect to incur other operating income and expense, net as part of our normal business on a regular basis.

To compensate for these limitations, the supplemental non-GAAP financial information should be read not in isolation, but only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The tables on pages 11 and 12 of this press release set forth our supplemental non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, which exclude the effect of adjusting the carrying value of acquired companies deferred revenue, the expenses for the amortization of acquired intangible assets and stock-based compensation expense (in each case, as explained in our Form 20-F), as well as other operating income and expense, net (as explained above). The tables also set forth the most comparable GAAP financial measure and a reconciliation of the GAAP and non-GAAP 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 U.S. GAAP and on a non-GAAP basis) 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 "current" period have first been recalculated using the average exchange rates of the comparable period in the preceding year, and then compared with the results of the comparable period in the preceding year.
