Bernard Charlès, Dassault Systèmes’ Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer commented:
“Today, our clients are driven by the ambition to bring about a metamorphosis where they not only embrace a sustainable economy, accomplishing more with fewer resources, but also cultivate an experience economy characterized by personalization, contextualization, and automatic updates of experiences.
In this context, virtual twins, as central pillars of a company's knowledge and know-how, prove to be essential, not only during innovation phases but throughout the product lifecycle. They pave the way for more efficient resource management and the continuous enhancement of the user experience. Virtual twins enable ‘software-defined experiences’, shifting the value from physical assets to software, all the while empowering our clients to establish direct connections with their end customers, providing tailored experiences.
What sets us apart is our ability to provide a scientific representation of the world's complexity through our science-based virtual twin experiences. When combined with artificial intelligence, we can design 'human-centered generative experiences', placing humans at the core, amplifying their capabilities, bridging the real and the virtual, and facilitating informed decision-making.”
Dassault Systèmes’ Deputy Chief Executive Officer & Chief Operating Officer Commentary
Pascal Daloz, Dassault Systèmes’ Deputy Chief Executive Officer & Chief Operating Officer commented:
“In the third quarter, we saw a significant number of large commercial agreements for our 3DEXPERIENCE platform. This is driven by the imperative for our customers to gain a competitive edge while staying profitable, meeting regulatory sustainability deadlines, and decoupling economic growth from resource consumption.
Our solutions are gaining momentum in the manufacturing sector, particularly in Transportation & Mobility, Aerospace & Defense, Home & Lifestyle, and Consumer Packaged Goods & Retail. While entering a less favorable investment cycle in the Life Sciences sector, we firmly believe that the demand for new, efficient, and affordable drugs will necessitate breakthrough innovations an aspect deeply embedded in our DNA. By brand, this quarter has been outstanding for many of them, notably with double-digit growth for CATIA, SIMULIA, ENOVIA, DELMIA, NETVIBES, and CENTRIC PLM. This performance attests our ability to gain market share in multiple domains, strengthening our unique competitive position through our existing product portfolio.
The strength of our performance in core industries, together with our diversification across sectors and domains, position us well to achieve our 2018-2023 objective of doubling EPS within a 5-year period, as initially planned. These accomplishments lay a solid foundation for our next financial plan.”

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 Group’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 Group’s actual results or performance may be materially negatively affected by numerous risks and uncertainties, as described in the “Risk Factors” section 1.9 of the 2022 Universal Registration Document (‘Document d'enregistrement universel’) filed with the AMF (French Financial Markets Authority) on March 17, 2023, as updated in the 2023 Half-Year Financial Report (‘Rapport Financier Semestriel’ as of June 30, 2023) filed with the AMF on July 25, 2023, both available on the Group’s website www.3ds.com.
In particular, please refer to the risk factor “Uncertain Global Economic Environment” in section 1.9.1.1 of the 2022 Universal Registration Document set out below for ease of reference:
“In light of the uncertainties regarding economic, business, social, health and geopolitical conditions at the global level, Dassault Systèmes’ revenue, net earnings and cash flows may grow more slowly, whether on an annual or quarterly basis, mainly due to the following factors:
- the deployment of Dassault Systèmes’ solutions may represent a large portion of a customer’s investments in software technology. Decisions to make such an investment are impacted by the economic environment in which the customers operate. Uncertain global geopolitical, economic and health conditions and the lack of visibility or the lack of financial resources may cause some customers, e.g. within the automotive, aerospace, energy or natural resources industries, to reduce, postpone or terminate their investments, or to reduce or not renew ongoing paid maintenance for their installed base, which impact larger customers’ revenue with their respective sub-contractors;
- the political, economic and monetary situation in certain geographic regions where Dassault Systèmes operates could become more volatile and impact Dassault Systèmes’ business, for example, due to stricter export compliance rules or the introduction of new customs tariffs;
- continued pressure or volatility on raw materials and energy prices could also slow down Dassault Systèmes’ diversification efforts in new industries;
- uncertainties regarding the extent and duration of inflation could adversely affect the financial position of Dassault Systèmes; and
- the sales cycle of the Dassault Systèmes’ products – already relatively long due to the strategic nature of such investments for customers – could further lengthen.
The occurrence of crises – health and political crises in particular – could have consequences both for the health and safety of Dassault Systèmes’ employees and for the Company. It could also adversely impact the financial situation or financing and supply capabilities of Dassault Systèmes’ existing and potential customers, commercial and technology partners, some of whom may be forced to temporarily close sites or cease operations. A deteriorating economic environment could generate increased price pressure and affect the collection of receivables, which would negatively impact Dassault Systèmes’ revenue, financial performance and market position.
Dassault Systèmes makes every effort to take into consideration this uncertain macroeconomic outlook. Dassault Systèmes’ business results, however, may not develop as anticipated. Furthermore, due to factors affecting sales of Dassault Systèmes’ products and services, 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.”
In preparing such forward-looking statements, the Group has in particular assumed an average US dollar to euro exchange rate of US

Information in Constant Currencies
Dassault Systèmes has followed a long‑standing policy of measuring its revenue performance and setting its revenue objectives exclusive of currency in order to measure in a transparent manner the underlying level of improvement in its total revenue and software revenue by activity, industry, geography and product lines. The Group believes it is helpful to evaluate its growth exclusive of currency impacts, particularly to help understand revenue trends in its business. Therefore, the Group provides percentage increases or decreases in its revenue and expenses (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 “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, the Group believes these measures are critical to understanding its global revenue results and to compare with many of its competitors who report their financial results in U.S. dollars. Therefore, Dassault Systèmes includes this calculation for comparing IFRS revenue figures as well non-IFRS revenue figures for comparable periods. All information at constant exchange rates is expressed as a rounded percentage and therefore may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.
Information on Growth excluding acquisitions (“organic growth”)
In addition to financial indicators on the entire Group’s scope, Dassault Systèmes provides growth excluding acquisitions effect, also named organic growth. In order to do so, the data relating to the scope is restated excluding acquisitions, from the date of the transaction, over a period of 12 months.

3DEXPERIENCE Licenses and Software Contribution
To measure the relative share of 3DEXPERIENCE software in its revenues, Dassault Systèmes utilizes the following ratios:
- for licenses revenue, the Group calculates the percentage contribution by comparing total 3DEXPERIENCE Licenses revenue to licenses revenue for all product lines except SOLIDWORKS on premise, MEDIDATA, CENTRIC PLM and other acquisitions (defined as “3DEXPERIENCE Eligible Licenses revenue”);
- for software revenue, the Group calculates the percentage contribution by comparing total 3DEXPERIENCE software revenue to software revenue for all product lines except SOLIDWORKS on premise, MEDIDATA, CENTRIC PLM and other acquisitions (defined as “3DEXPERIENCE Eligible software revenue”).
Cloud revenue
Cloud revenues correspond to revenue generated through a catalog of online services to configure and run cloud solutions, delivered by Dassault Systèmes via a cloud infrastructure hosted by Dassault Systèmes, or by third party providers of cloud computing infrastructure services. This offering is available through different deployment methods: Dedicated cloud, Sovereign Trust cloud and International cloud, All cloud applications can be offered through perpetual licenses and maintenance or subscriptions models.
