Bernard Charlès, Dassault Systèmes President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “More than ever, this quarter illustrates our ongoing commitment to reconcile short-term execution and long-term strategy.

“Looking at the third quarter, the environment continued to be challenging, similar to the second quarter.

Against this reality, our earnings and operating margin results came in above our objectives on in-line revenue results, thanks to the strong execution of our cost savings program. We are on track to not only achieve, but in fact to exceed our full year savings target, all while maintaining our R&D and customer support investments in all the industries we serve.

“The agreement with IBM is very timely to get closer to our clients delivering unique V6 value for sustainable innovation and expand our partnership with IBM in services, flexible financing and new enterprise infrastructure.”

Business Outlook

Thibault de Tersant, Senior Executive Vice President and CFO, commented, “We were pleased to deliver strong sequential growth in both earnings and operating margin in spite of the seasonal sequential decrease in revenue. Through the dedicated efforts of all our employees worldwide we have been able to achieve €100 million in cost savings year-to-date, ahead of our plans.

“Based upon our current visibility we think it is realistic to target a full year revenue objective of about €1.24 to €1.27 billion, which is just €10 million below our former objective. Thanks to our cost reduction results, we are reconfirming our non-IFRS operating margin objective of about 25% and our non-IFRS earnings objective of €1.76 to €1.91.

“The proposed acquisition of IBM PLM, which is expected to be completed during the 2010 second quarter, should be accretive to both our earnings and operating margin on a non-IFRS basis and will be instrumental to support our long-term growth strategy.”

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 Company’s current objectives are the following:

The non-IFRS objectives set forth above do not take into account the following accounting elements and are estimated based upon the 2009 currency exchange rates above: (i) deferred revenue write-downs estimated at approximately €1 million for 2009; (ii) share-based compensation expense estimated at approximately €22 million for 2009, and (iii) amortization of acquired intangibles estimated at approximately €42 million for 2009. The above objectives do not include any impact from other operating income and expense, net principally comprised of restructuring expenses. These estimates also do not include any new stock option or share grants, or any new acquisitions or restructurings completed after October 29, 2009.

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 DS 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, the Company has in particular assumed an average U.S. dollar to euro exchange rate of US$1.40 per €1.00 and an average Japanese yen to euro exchange rate of JPY132 to €1.00 for the 2009 full year; however, currency values fluctuate, and the Company’s results of operations may be significantly affected by changes in exchange rates. The Company has tried to factor in the potential impact of the current global economic crisis on its 2009 fourth quarter and full year objectives, but conditions could worsen. Further the Company has assumed that its increased responsibility for both indirect and direct PLM sales channels, and the resulting commercial and management challenges, will not cause it to incur substantial unanticipated costs and inefficiencies. The Company’s actual results or performance may also be materially negatively affected by the current global economic crisis, difficulties or adverse changes affecting its partners or its relationships with its partners, including the Company’s longstanding, strategic partner, IBM; new product developments and technological changes; errors or defects in its products; growth in market share by its competitors; and the realization of any risks related to the integration of IBM PLM within DS and of any newly acquired company and internal reorganizations. Unfavorable changes in any of the above or other factors described in the Company’s regulatory reports, including the Document de référence, as filed with the French “Autorité des marchés financiers” (AMF) on April 2, 2009, could materially affect the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Non-IFRS Financial Information

Readers are cautioned that the supplemental non-IFRS (previously referred to as “adjusted 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 annual report for the year ended December 31, 2008 included in the Company’s 2008 Document de référence filed with the AMF on April 2, 2009.

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, stock-based compensation expense, the expenses for the amortization of acquired intangible assets and other income and expense, net (in each case, as explained respectively in the Company’s 2008 Document de référence). 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 "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.

(unaudited; in millions of Euros, except per share data)

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 Document de référence for the year ended December 31, 2008 filed with the AMF on April 2, 2009. 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.
