Bernard Charlès, Dassault Systèmes’ Vice Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer commented:

“The world, economy and society are transforming at an unprecedented pace: we are playing a critical role in these transformations and empowering our clients to solve their greatest challenges – from resiliency to sustainability.

Science-based virtual twin experiences are perfectly designed to support these transformations and the resiliency and sustainability required for today and tomorrow’s leadership. By combining a multi-scale, multi-physics approach with embedded analytics and real world evidence, virtual twin experiences are a catalyst for sustainable innovation – to imagine and test new materials, new processes, new solutions and new usages.

We have recently introduced the Life Cycle Assessment Solution on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to transform the sustainable innovation process. Combining virtual twin technology and life cycle assessment capabilities offers new ways to establish sustainability requirements early on, and measure the sustainability of decisions before implementing them.

It’s clear we walk the talk: this new solution is a major advancement towards our purpose to harmonize product, nature and life. By leveraging the virtual worlds to extend and improve the real world, together we can drive meaningful progress towards a more sustainable and harmonious future.

Our next frontier will be to make the power of virtual twin experiences accessible to everyone on the planet – to take them mainstream.”

First Quarter 2022 Versus 2021 Financial Comparisons

(unaudited, all revenue growth rates in constant currencies)

• Total Revenue: Total revenue grew 8%, IFRS and non-IFRS, to €1.32 billion. Software revenue increased 8%, IFRS and non-IFRS to €1.21 billion. Non-IFRS support & subscription revenue rose 8%; recurring revenue represented 81% of total software revenue. Licenses and other software revenue increased 10% (IFRS and non-IFRS) to €234.7 million. Services revenue increased 9%, IFRS and non-IFRS.
  
  
• Software Revenue by Geography (non-IFRS): The Americas grew 7% and represented 40% of software revenue. Europe rose 6% to 35% of software revenue. Asia increased 13% to 25% of software revenue, with China up 20% and India up 35%.
  
  
• Software Revenue by Product Line:
  
  
  • Industrial Innovation IFRS and non-IFRS software revenue rose 5% to €654.4 million, representing 54% of software revenue. CATIA demonstrated very strong performance, driven by double-digit license and subscription software revenue growth and punctuated by cyber systems, showing the strength of these innovative and differentiated offerings. ENOVIA also showed high, double-digit growth in both license and subscription software revenue.
    
    
  • Life Sciences software revenue totaled €254.0 million (IFRS and non-IFRS), an increase of 13%, representing 21% of software revenue. MEDIDATA delivered strong performance, growing double-digits again this quarter. MEDIDATA continues to experience strong momentum across its product portfolio including MEDIDATA Rave, MEDIDATA AI and MEDIDATA Patient Cloud, as well as across end markets including pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and contract research organizations (CROs). BIOVIA also performed well, achieving double-digit growth during the period.
    
    
  • Mainstream Innovation software revenue was €297.2 million in IFRS and non-IFRS, an increase of 12%, and representing 25% of software revenue. SOLIDWORKS continued to perform well, growing double-digits, and on the back of a strong comparison base, thanks to broad-based demand and larger deal sizes. Our 3DEXPERIENCE WORKS offering continued to see good adoption as clients increasingly recognize the value of leveraging the WORKS family technologies via the cloud. At CENTRIC PLM, strong momentum was accompanied by gains in diversification in food and beverage.
    
    
• Software Revenue by Industries: Many end markets grew double-digits again this quarter. Aerospace & Defense, Marine & Offshore, Industrial Equipment, and Home & Life Style displayed some of the strongest performance.
  
  
• Key Strategic Drivers (non-IFRS): 3DEXPERIENCE revenue increased 21% to 29.7% of software revenue. The strong value proposition of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform continues to be a key factor in driving large client wins. Cloud software revenue grew 21%, and represents 20.9% of software revenue. Cloud and 3DEXPERIENCE have been critical for enabling clients to scale rapidly – both new entrants and incumbents transforming.
  
  
• Operating Income and Margin: IFRS operating income increased 45.3%, as reported. Non-IFRS operating income rose 16.8% to €464.0 million, as reported. Non-IFRS operating margin increased 117 basis points to 35.0%. In the quarter, we recognized no revenue for Russia and €5.0 million of expenses, including provisions.
  
  
• Earnings per Share: IFRS diluted earnings per share increased 51% to €0.20. Non-IFRS diluted EPS grew 20% to €0.27, as reported.
  
  
• Cash Flow from Operations (IFRS): Cash flow from operations was €630 million, a decrease of 2% relative to last year. This was driven by several factors: a higher decrease in accrued compensation; a one-time withholding tax reimbursement received in the first quarter of 2021; and a lower decrease in trade accounts receivable, in line with activity growth, combined with an improved cash collection. Cash from operations was principally used for treasury stock repurchases of €328 million (net of the impact of employee shareholding plan) as well as loan repayments of €235 million.
  
  
• Balance Sheet (IFRS): Dassault Systèmes’ net financial debt at March 31, 2022 decreased by €257 million to €632 million, compared to €889 million at December 31, 2021, reflecting cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of €3.009 billion and debt related to borrowings of €3.641 billion at March 31, 2022. Dassault Systèmes is well ahead of schedule on its deleveraging objective.
  
  

Dassault Systèmes’ Chief Operating Officer Commentary

(revenue growth rates in constant currencies, data on a non-IFRS basis)

Pascal Daloz, Dassault Systèmes’ Chief Operating Officer, commented:

“The positive business momentum we experienced last year continued into the first quarter. We delivered strong results and on the back of a relatively high 2021 comparison base. Revenue growth was broad-based across geographies, product lines and sectors, demonstrating the diversification we have achieved in our addressable markets as well as the quality of our execution.

In Industrial Innovation, CATIA and ENOVIA delivered excellent, double-digit license and subscription revenue growth, underscoring the strength of our differentiated offering. In Mainstream Innovation, strong SOLIDWORKS momentum continued into the first quarter with revenue increasing double-digits. In Life Sciences, MEDIDATA and BIOVIA grew revenue double-digits. In MEDIDATA AI Synthetic Control Arm, our recent announcements with Celsion and Plus Therapeutics highlight the potential for this revolutionary innovation. Our new business with Gilead reflects the strength of BIOVIA’s groundbreaking generative therapeutic design technology.

Our customer adoption is a strong proof point; the investments we made a decade ago are paying off for our clients. In today’s ever-changing environment, our clients face a number of challenges from raw materials, to workforces, supply chain disruptions and inflation. This is accelerating the need to adapt and evolve rapidly and at scale. With our 3DEXPERIENCE platform and industry solutions, we are uniquely well positioned to enable these transformations and empower our clients to adopt new business models, increase resiliency, scale and embrace sustainability.

We appreciate our clients’ trust and look forward to continuing our fruitful partnerships.”

Dassault Systèmes’ Chief Financial Officer Commentary

(revenue growth rates in constant currencies, data on a non-IFRS basis, cash flow IFRS)

Rouven Bergmann, Dassault Systèmes’ Chief Financial Officer, commented:

“We’re pleased with our first quarter 2022 performance. Revenue results were well aligned with our objectives. License and other software revenue grew double digits, during the period. At the same time, we delivered strong profitability, demonstrating the strength of our business model and excellent performance by our team. This supports our confidence to raise our 2022 EPS objective to 9-11% year-over-year growth.  

From a profitability perspective, we outperformed our objectives during the quarter, even as we continued to invest in our business and achieved our hiring objectives. Diluted EPS grew 20% to €0.27. Operating margin increased 117 basis points to 35%. Cash flow from operations was €630 million. We remain well ahead of schedule in achieving our deleveraging objective.”

Looking to the second quarter of 2022, we are targeting total revenue growth of 9%-11%, and diluted EPS growth of 11%-16% to €0.24 to €0.25. For fiscal 2022, we are reaffirming our total revenue growth objective of 9%-10%, in constant currencies. At the same time, we are raising our diluted EPS objective to 9%-11% growth to €1.04 to €1.06, offsetting the negative impact of Russia while reflecting currency and operating performance.”

Financial Objectives for 2022

Dassault Systèmes’ second quarter and full year 2022 financial objectives presented below are given on a non-IFRS basis and reflect the principal 2022 currency exchange rate assumptions for the US dollar and Japanese yen as well as the potential impact from additional non-Euro currencies:

			Q2 2022	FY 2022
	Total Revenue (billion)		€1.295 to €1.320	€5.355 to €5.405
	Growth		12-14%	10-11%
	Growth ex FX		9-11%	9-10%
	Software revenue growth *		9-11%	9-10%
		Of which licenses and other software revenue growth *	14-19%	10-12%
		Of which subscription and support revenue growth *	8-9%	~9%
	Services revenue growth *		9-11%	8-10%
	Operating Margin		31.7% – 32.4%	33.4% – 33.7%
	EPS Diluted		€0.24 - €0.25	€1.04 - €1.06
	Growth		11-16%	9-11%
	US dollar		$1.15 per Euro	$1.14 per Euro
	Japanese yen (before hedging)		JPY 130.0 per Euro	JPY 130.1 per Euro
	* Growth in Constant Currencies

These objectives are prepared and communicated only on a non-IFRS basis and are subject to the cautionary statement set forth below.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine is above all a human tragedy. Dassault Systèmes has implemented all actions to suspend its business operations in Russia, which represent less than 0.5% of non-IFRS revenues in 2021.

The 2022 non-IFRS financial objectives set forth above do not take into account the following accounting elements below and are estimated based upon the 2022 principal currency exchange rates above: no significant contract liabilities write-downs; share-based compensation expenses, including related social charges, estimated at approximately €148.7 million (these estimates do not include any new stock option or share grants issued after March 31, 2022); amortization of acquired intangibles and of tangibles reevaluation, estimated at approximately €369.4 million, largely impacted by the acquisition of Medidata; and lease incentives of acquired companies at approximately €2.7 million. The above objectives also do not include any impact from other operating income and expenses, net principally comprised of acquisition, integration and restructuring expenses, and impairment of goodwill and acquired intangible assets; from one-time items included in financial revenue; from one-time tax effects; and from the income tax effects of these non-IFRS adjustments. Finally, these estimates do not include any new acquisitions or restructuring completed after March 31, 2022.

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 2021 Universal Registration Document (‘Document d'enregistrement universel’) filed with the AMF (French Financial Markets Authority) on March 17, 2022, 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 2021 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 automotive, aerospace 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;
• current inflation forecasts, as well as uncertainties regarding the extent and duration of this trend, could adversely affect the financial condition 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 geopolitical crises in particular – could have consequences for the health and safety of Dassault Systèmes’ employees. It could also adversely impact the financial situation or financing 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$1.15 per €1.00 as well as an average Japanese yen to euro exchange rate of JPY130.0 to €1.00, before hedging for the second, third and fourth quarters 2022. The Group has in particular assumed an average US dollar to euro exchange rate of US$1.14 per €1.00 as well as an average Japanese yen to euro exchange rate of JPY130.1 to €1.00, before hedging for the full year 2022. However, currency values fluctuate, and the Group’s results may be significantly affected by changes in exchange rates.

Non-IFRS Financial Information

Readers are cautioned that the supplemental non-IFRS financial 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 in isolation from or as a substitute for IFRS measurements. The supplemental non-IFRS financial information should be read only in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. Furthermore, the Group’s supplemental non-IFRS financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled “non-IFRS” measures used by other companies. Specific limitations for individual non-IFRS measures are set forth in the Company’s 2021 Universal Registration Document filed with the AMF on March 17, 2022.

In the tables accompanying this press release the Group 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, share-based compensation expense and related social charges, the amortization of acquired intangible assets and of tangibles reevaluation, certain other operating income and expense, net, including impairment of goodwill and acquired intangibles, the effect of adjusting lease incentives of acquired companies, 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. The tables also set forth the most comparable IFRS financial measure and reconciliations of this information with non-IFRS information.

DASSAULT SYSTEMES - Glossary of Definitions

Information in Constant Currencies

Dassault Systèmes have followed a long-standing policy of measuring our revenue performance and setting our revenue objectives exclusive of currency in order to measure in a transparent manner the underlying level of improvement in our total revenue and software revenue by activity, industry, geography and product lines. We believe it is helpful to evaluate our growth exclusive of currency impacts, particularly to help understand revenue trends in our business. Therefore, we provide percentage increases or decreases in our 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 by us “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 currencies calculations are not considered to be an IFRS measure, we do believe these measures are critical to understanding our global revenue results and to compare with many of our competitors who report their financial results in U.S. dollars. Therefore, we are including this calculation for comparing IFRS revenue figures for comparable periods as well as for comparing non-IFRS revenue figures for comparable periods. All information at constant exchange rates are 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.

The related growth rate was determined by restating the scope of activity as follows:

• for entities entering the consolidation scope in the current year, subtracting the contribution of the acquisition from the aggregates of the current year;
• for entities entering the consolidation scope in the previous year, subtracting the contribution of the acquisition from January 1st of the current year, until the last day of the month of the current year when the acquisition was made the previous year.

Information on Industrial Sectors

Dassault Systèmes’ Industries develop Solution Experiences, industry-focused offerings that deliver specific value to companies and users in a particular industry. We serve eleven industries structured into three sectors:

• Manufacturing industries Sector: Transportation & Mobility; Aerospace & Defense; Marine & Offshore; Industrial Equipment; High-Tech; Home & Lifestyle; Consumer Packaged Goods & Retail;
• Life Sciences & Healthcare Sector: Life Sciences & Healthcare;
• Infrastructure & Cities Sector: Infrastructure, Energy & Materials; Architecture, Engineering & Construction; Cities, Public & Business Services.
  
  

Information on Product Lines

Our product lines financial reporting include the following financial information:

• Industrial Innovation software revenue, which includes our CATIA, ENOVIA, SIMULIA, DELMIA, GEOVIA, NETVIBES, and 3DEXCITE brands;
• Life Sciences software revenue, which includes our MEDIDATA and BIOVIA brands;
• Mainstream Innovation software sales for SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises), which includes our CENTRIC PLM and 3DVIA brands, as well as our 3DEXPERIENCE WORKS family which includes the SOLIDWORKS brand.
  
  

3DEXPERIENCE Licenses and Software Contribution

To measure the progressive penetration of 3DEXPERIENCE software, we utilize the following ratios:

• for Licenses revenue, we calculate the percentage contribution by comparing total 3DEXPERIENCE Licenses revenue to Licenses revenue for all product lines except SOLIDWORKS and acquisitions (“related 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 and acquisitions (“related software revenue”).

Cloud Revenue

Cloud revenues correspond to revenue generated through a catalog of online services 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: Public cloud, Private cloud, Dedicated cloud. All cloud applications can be offered through perpetual licenses and maintenance or subscriptions models.

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 Group’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 Group’s Document d’Enregistrement Universel for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the AMF on March 17, 2022. To compensate for these limitations, the supplemental non-IFRS financial information should be read not in isolation, but only in conjunction with the Group’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS.
