These results were reviewed by the Company’s Board of Directors on February 4, 2013.

Summary Highlights
(unaudited)

• Q4 2012 financial results well in line with Company objectives
• 2012 EPS up 14% (IFRS) and 15% to €3.37 (non-IFRS)
• 2012 non-IFRS operating margin expands 120 basis points to 31.6%
• 2012 net operating cash flow up 26% to €566 million
• 3DEXPERIENCE strategy and Industry Solutions Experience launched in 2012
• 20,000 new customers in 2012 through expansion of indirect sales channels
• Initiates 2013 objectives: non-IFRS revenue growth of 5-7% in constant currencies

“2012 represents an important juncture, with the unveiling of the new Dassault Systèmes, the 3DEXPERIENCE Company, and the launching of our Social Industry Experience strategy. It was a year of unprecedented transformation within the Company in order to best position us to access a market sized at $32 billion, doubling the current addressable market,” commented Bernard Charlès, Dassault Systèmes President and Chief Executive Officer. “We successfully launched value-driven Industry Solutions Experience to cover key client processes across the different industries we address.”

“The reception of 3DEXPERIENCE as the next Company horizon was very good, with key customers wins to illustrate it. In addition, thanks to our indirect channels capacity extension, we won 20,000 new customers in 2012, a record so far, and thanks to our brands, we reached 10 million users.”

“Finally, 2012 was also a record year financially for both revenue and earnings. We crossed the €2 billion revenue milestone thanks to non-IFRS software revenue growth of 10% in constant currencies and delivered non-IFRS earnings per share growth of 15%, demonstrating our ability to execute on our ambitious roadmap for the future while also maintaining a strong operational focus.”

• Revenue results for the fourth quarter were well in line with the Company’s expectations, evidenced by a mixed economic climate as reflected in lower seasonal growth in new licenses revenue and also reflected a strong year-ago comparison, notably for Europe.
• Total revenue grew 7% (IFRS) and 8% (non-IFRS) in constant currencies. By region and in constant currencies, non-IFRS revenue growth was highest in Asia, up 14%, led by Japan, Korea and China. In the Americas, non-IFRS revenue increased 9% year on year through growth in both North America and Latin America. Non-IFRS revenue growth in Europe of 5% was led by Germany and France.
• Software revenue increased 8% (IFRS) and 9% (non-IFRS), with recurring revenue up 10% (IFRS) and 11% (non-IFRS) and new licensing revenue up 3%. Recurring revenue is comprised of maintenance and rental licensing, the latter being up 20%. Regionally, new licenses revenue growth was strongest in Asia while rental licensing activity was strongest in Europe and the Americas (All growth comparisons are in constant currencies).
• IFRS operating income increased 16% to €157.0 million and IFRS earnings per diluted share increased 12% to €0.76. Non-IFRS earnings per diluted share increased 17% to €1.02 on operating income growth of 18% and the non-IFRS operating margin was 34.7% compared to 32.8% in the year-ago period.
• PLM software revenue increased 7% (IFRS) and 8% (non-IFRS). Non-IFRS PLM software revenue growth was led by Other PLM, with strong performances by SIMULIA, DELMIA and 3DVIA up double-digits and including the addition of Gemcom. CATIA software revenue increased 1%. ENOVIA software revenue growth was flat (All growth comparisons are in constant currencies).
• SOLIDWORKS software revenue increased 11% in constant currencies benefiting from both new licensing activity and growth in recurring software revenue. New SOLIDWORKS commercial seats licensed in the quarter increased 13% to 13,751.

• IFRS and non-IFRS total revenue increased 9% primarily driven by software revenue growth of 9% (IFRS) and 10% (non-IFRS), respectively. Software revenue represented 91% of total revenue. Services and other revenue increased 7% and the services gross margin improved to 5.7%. 2012 results include the acquisition of Gemcom and the divestiture of Transcat PLM GmbH. Excluding the six-month impact of the Gemcom acquisition as well as the sale of Transcat PLM GmbH, Dassault Systèmes non-IFRS revenue growth would have been 8% (All growth comparisons are in constant currencies).
• Regionally, Asia was the best performing with non-IFRS revenue increasing 14%, reflecting a further return to investment by Japanese customers and strong growth in China and Korea. Despite the impact of the macro-environment softening which began to affect regional results in Europe in the third quarter, full year performance was solid with revenue higher by 8%, led by Germany and France. In the Americas, there were a number of important wins and contract renewals during the year in the Company’s PLM sales channels and good growth in its Professional channel leading to a 7% increase in total revenue for that region. High growth countries posted 16% revenue growth on broad strength (All growth comparisons are in constant currencies).
• New business activity was reflected in both new licenses revenue and rental licensing revenue which recorded a 17% growth and is a component of recurring software revenue. IFRS and non-IFRS new licenses revenue increased 9% in constant currencies with new licenses revenue highest in Asia, followed by Europe and the Americas. SIMULIA, CATIA and SOLIDWORKS reported strong new licenses revenue growth.
• Recurring software revenue increased 9% (IFRS) and 10% (non-IFRS) in constant currencies benefiting from growth in maintenance from new licensing activity, strong renewal rates and growth in rental licensing. SIMULIA, ENOVIA and SOLIDWORKS reported strong recurring software revenue growth. Recurring software revenue represented 71% of total software revenue in 2012.
• The Company reported strong growth in operating income principally reflecting higher revenue. IFRS operating income increased 17% to €501.0 million and the operating margin improved 70 basis points to 24.7%. On a non-IFRS basis, operating income increased 19% to €644.3 million. The non-IFRS operating margin expanded 120 basis points to 31.6%, reflecting revenue growth and improved operating leverage.
• Net income per diluted share increased 14% to €2.66 (IFRS) and 15% to €3.37 (non-IFRS) per share. Growth in IFRS and non-IFRS earnings per share reflected higher revenue, operating margin expansion and growth in financial income offset in part by a higher effective tax rate.
• PLM software revenue increased 8% (IFRS) and 9% (non-IFRS). CATIA software revenue increased 5% led by Asia. ENOVIA software revenue increased 7%. Other PLM software revenue increased 19% (IFRS) and 22% (non-IFRS) led by SIMULIA and included GEOVIA, a new brand (All growth comparisons are in constant currencies).
• SOLIDWORKS software revenue increased 12% in constant currencies on sales of its design suite as well as sales of product data management, simulation, and on increased sales capacity. New SOLIDWORKS commercial seats licensed increased 11% to a record 52,987 seats. 2012 also marks a major new milestone with more than two million total SOLIDWORKS commercial and educational seats sold to date.

Cash Flow and Other Financial Highlights

For 2012, net operating cash flow increased 26% to €566.3 million, compared to €450.9 million for 2011, reflecting net income growth and working capital improvement.

During 2012 the Company completed cash acquisitions of €281.5 million, net of cash acquired; repaid €200 million in borrowings; disbursed cash dividends of €87.8 million; received cash of €98.7 million for stock options exercised and completed share repurchases in the amount of €75.1 million; and made additions to property, equipment and intangibles of €40.7 million.

The Company’s net financial position was €1.28 billion at December 31, 2012, compared to €1.15 billion at December 31, 2011, and was comprised of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments less long-term debt and less in 2011, the €200 million debt which was repaid in 2012 with cash on hand.

Business Outlook

Thibault de Tersant, Senior Executive Vice President and CFO, commented, “All in all, 2012 turned out to be a year of solid growth with both non-IFRS software revenue and non-IFRS earnings per share increasing double-digits. Our non-IFRS operating margin expanded 120 basis points to 31.6%, while at the same time raising our Company brand visibility through the global advertising campaign, as well as expanding our resources, with employee growth of about 6%. We enjoyed a healthy new business dynamic visible in both our new licenses and rental software growth, although as anticipated, we clearly noted a progressively weaker market environment during the second half of the year.

“As we enter 2013, our initial non-IFRS revenue growth objective for the year of 5-7% in constant currencies is similar to our initial 2012 objective. It assumes that the macro-environment would remain soft across the whole year and therefore would be weaker than the 2012 first half. Recurring software revenue growth is expected to continue to demonstrate a relatively good dynamic. Our operating margin and EPS objectives assume continued organic investments and also assume significant currency headwinds, and would need to be adjusted to reflect potential new acquisitions in support of our strategy.”

The Company’s initial 2013 financial objectives are as follows:

• First quarter 2013 non-IFRS total revenue objective of about €470 to €480 million, growing 5% to 7% excluding currency effects, non-IFRS operating margin of about 28– 29% and non-IFRS EPS of about €0.71 to €0.76;
• 2013 non-IFRS revenue growth objective range of about 5% to 7% in constant currencies (€2.06 to €2.09 billion based upon the 2013 currency exchange rate assumptions below);
• 2013 non-IFRS operating margin of about 32%, up slightly compared to 2012;
• 2013 non-IFRS EPS range of about €3.45 to €3.60, representing growth of about 2% to 7%;
• Objectives are based upon exchange rate assumptions for the 2013 first quarter and full year of US$1.40 per €1.00 and JPY120 per €1.00.

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 2013 non-IFRS objectives set forth above do not take into account the following accounting elements and are estimated based upon the 2013 currency exchange rates above: 2013 deferred revenue write-downs estimated at approximately €4 million, share-based compensation expense estimated at approximately €35 million and amortization of acquired intangibles estimated at approximately €94 million. The above objectives do not include any impact from other operating income and expense, net. Further, these estimates do not include any new stock option or performance share grants, or any new acquisitions or restructurings completed after February 7, 2013.

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. If global economic and business conditions continue to be volatile or deteriorate, the Company’s business results may not develop as currently anticipated and may decline below their earlier levels for an extended period of time. Furthermore, due to factors affecting sales of the Company’s products and services, there may be a substantial time lag between any change in global economic and business conditions and its impact on the Company’s business results.

In preparing such forward-looking statements, the Company has in particular assumed an average US dollar to euro exchange rate of US$1.40 per €1.00 and an average Japanese yen to euro exchange rate of JPY120 to €1.00 for the 2013 first quarter and full year; however, currency values fluctuate, and the Company’s results of operations may be significantly affected by changes in exchange rates. The Company’s actual results or performance may also be materially negatively affected by changes in the current global economic context, difficulties or adverse changes affecting its partners or its relationships with its partners, changes in exchange rates, 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 any newly acquired company, in particular related to the integration of Gemcom Software International and internal reorganizations. Unfavorable changes in any of the above or other factors described in the Company’s regulatory reports, including the 2011 Document de référence, and 2012 Half Year Financial Report, which were filed with the French Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) on March 29, 2012, and July 27, 2012, respectively, could materially affect the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Estimated results

Readers are cautioned that the results and financial data presented in this press release are “estimated data” according to the 2004-04 Position “Communications on estimated financial data” of the AMF updated on August 1, 2012. The approval of the 2012 financial statements will be submitted to the Board of Directors scheduled at the end of March 2013.

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 annual report for the year ended December 31, 2011 included in the Company’s 2011 Document de référence and the 2012 Half Year Financial Report filed with the AMF on March 29, 2012, and July 27, 2012, respectively.

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 and related social charges, the expenses for the amortization of acquired intangible assets, other 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 in 2012. 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.
