Business Outlook

Thibault de Tersant, Senior Executive Vice President and CFO, commented, “The second quarter exceeded our expectations on very healthy demand for our software solutions, with the upside coming both from new licenses revenue and recurring revenue. This performance translated into non-IFRS EPS growth of 10%, and would have been 16% without currency headwinds.

“We are upgrading our 2011 financial objectives for the full €20 million second quarter revenue over-performance, leading to a 2011 revenue growth outlook of 11 to 12% in constant currencies, and earnings per share growth of about 8 to 12% in spite of currency headwinds.

“With respect to second half growth comparisons, let me remind you that our 2010 third quarter revenue was well above our historic seasonal revenue trend. For the 2011 third quarter and second half, our objectives incorporate a sequential revenue outlook range in line with historic patterns. Secondly, with respect to recurring revenue, we had an important level of maintenance recoveries in the 2010 second half, as we outlined last year, which were one-time in nature.

“Overall, we are well positioned going into the second half of the year, and despite the uncertainty of the global economic environment, we have increased confidence in our 2011 financial objectives thanks to our second quarter results.”

The Company’s current objectives are as follows:

• Third quarter 2011 non-IFRS total revenue objective of about €405 to €415 million, non-IFRS operating margin of about 27% and non-IFRS EPS of about €0.60 to €0.65;
• Upgrading 2011 non-IFRS revenue growth objective range to 11% to 12% in constant currencies; (increasing the reported revenue range to €1.70 to €1.72 billion from €1.67 to €1.70 billion previously);
• Reconfirming 2011 non-IFRS operating margin slightly in excess of 29%;
• Upgrading 2011 non-IFRS EPS range to €2.69 to €2.80 from €2.64 to €2.75 previously; representing growth of about 8% to 12% from 6% to 10%, previously;
• Objectives are based upon exchange rate assumptions for the 2011 second half of US$1.45 per €1.00 and JPY120 per €1.00 and a full year average of US$1.43 per €1.00 and JPY117 per €1.00.
