Bernard Charlès, Dassault Systèmes’ Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented: “Sustainable Innovation in customer experiences and business models is a strategic imperative for this 21^st Century. Dassault Systèmes is recognized as a leading player in this transformation – from ideation to design to supply to manufacturing to go-to-market to use – across all industries.

“In our largest industry, Automotive, we are honored of our long-established friendship and partnership with Toyota Motor Corporation – with whom we co-invented PLM in 1999 – as they adopt our 3DEXPERIENCE platform to conduct their ‘once-in a century profound transformation’ underway from an automotive to mobility experience company.

“Lockheed Martin is also standardizing on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform for all new advanced development programs as part of a multi-year partnership agreement. More broadly, our 3DEXPERIENCE platform is establishing a very strong position in the Aerospace & Defence industry as a powerful catalyst and enabler of sustainable growth models.

“Last week our “Science in the Age of Experience” conference in Boston brought together industry and academic leaders and our science-based teams including BIOVIA and SIMULIA, as well as our future Medidata colleagues. We are focused on helping health innovators advance affordable precision medicine. By combining data intelligence and simulation, we will power smarter therapeutics for healthier people. It is clear that the future of science will be shaped by inclusive and multi-discipline platforms.”

CFO Commentary

(In the discussion below, figures are on a non-IFRS basis, with revenue growth rates in constant currencies.)

Pascal Daloz, Dassault Systèmes’ Executive Vice President, CFO and Corporate Strategy Officer, commented:
“Non-IFRS total revenue in the third quarter increased 10%, accompanied by a strong operational performance, with our non-IFRS operating margin up 140 basis points and non-IFRS EPS up 20% to 78 cents, or 16% growth at constant currency.

“As our results year-to-date have demonstrated, our recurring software revenue growth rate has been accelerating by several hundred basis points over 2018, thanks to strong double-digit subscription growth and global strength for our support revenue.

“Looking to our full year performance before adding Medidata, we are reaffirming our non-IFRS   total revenue growth objective of 10% to 11% at constant currency, taking into account the potential for continued volatility in licenses activity in Q4. We are updating our financial results, including for currency, leading to a non-IFRS EPS objective of €3.50 to 3.55, up 12% to 14%. Importantly, we are poised to achieve our five-year goal of doubling our non-IFRS EPS to €3.50 in 2019.

“Assuming that the closing of Medidata will take place on or before October 31, 2019 with a two-month contribution, -  on a combined basis, our 2019 non-IFRS revenue growth objective becomes   13% to 14% at constant currency, with a non-IFRS EPS objective of €3.52 to €3.57, up 13% to 14%.”  

2019 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Financial Objectives

Dassault Systèmes’ fourth quarter and full year 2019 financial objectives presented below reflect the addition of Medidata for a two-month period assuming a closing taking place at the latest October 31^st, 2019. They are given on a non-IFRS basis and reflect the principal 2019 currency exchange rate assumptions below for the US dollar and Japanese yen as well as the potential impact from additional non-Euro currencies:

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

The 2019 non-IFRS financial objectives set forth above do not take into account the following accounting elements and are estimated based upon the 2019 principal currency exchange rates above: contract liabilities write-downs estimated at approximately €10 million; share-based compensation expense, including related social charges, estimated at approximately €144 million and amortization of acquired intangibles estimated at approximately €201 million. The above objectives also do not include any impact from other operating income and expense, 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 stock option or share grants, or any new acquisitions or restructurings completed after September 30, 2019. The non-IFRS financial objectives above include Medidata for a two-month period, while the accounting elements above do not yet reflect the addition of Medidata.

Implementation of IFRS 16 Leases Summary

As of January 1, 2019, Dassault Systèmes adopted the new accounting standard IFRS 16 Leases, under the modified retrospective method. Under this method, the transition effect is accounted for within the consolidated equity at the date of initial application, therefore, there is no adjustment to prior year comparative information.

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. The Company’s current outlook for 2019 takes into consideration, among other things, an uncertain global economic environment. In light of the continuing uncertainties regarding economic, business, social and geopolitical conditions at the global level, the Company’s revenue, net earnings and cash flows may grow more slowly, whether on an annual or quarterly basis. While the Company makes every effort to take into consideration this uncertain macroeconomic outlook, the Company’s business results, however, may not develop as anticipated.  Further, 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. The Company’s actual results or performance may also be materially negatively affected by numerous risks and uncertainties, as described in the “Risk Factors” section of the 2018 Document de Référence (Annual Report) filed with the AMF (French Financial Markets Authority) on March 26, 2019 and also available on the Company’s website www.3ds.com.

In preparing such forward-looking statements, the Company 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 JPY125 to €1.00 for the 2019 fourth quarter before hedging; however, currency values fluctuate, and the Company’s results of operations may be significantly affected by changes in exchange rates.

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 2018 Document de Référence filed with the AMF on March 26, 2019. 

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, share-based compensation expense and related social charges, the amortization of acquired intangible assets, other operating income and expense, net, including impairment of goodwill and acquired intangibles, 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.

Information in Constant Currencies

We 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 type, industry, region 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 EPS (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 currency 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 constant currency information is provided on an approximate basis. Unless otherwise indicated, the impact of exchange rate fluctuations is approximately the same for both the Company’s IFRS and supplemental non-IFRS financial data.

Information on Growth excluding acquisitions (“organic growth”)

In addition to discussing total growth, we also provide financial information where we discuss growth excluding acquisitions or growth on an organic basis as used alternatively. In both cases, growth excluding acquisitions have been calculated using the following restatements of the scope of consolidation: for entities entering the consolidation scope in the current year, subtracting the contribution of the acquisition from the aggregates of the current year, and 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

Our global customer base includes companies in 11 industrial sectors as of January 1, 2019:  with “Core Industries” comprised of Transportation & Mobility; Industrial Equipment; Aerospace & Defense; and a portion of Business Services. “Diversification Industries” includes companies in   High-Tech; Life Sciences; Energy & Materials; Home & Lifestyle, Construction, Cities & Territories; Consumer Packaged Goods & Retail, Marine & Offshore and a portion of Business Services.

3DEXPERIENCE Licenses and Software Contribution

To measure the progressive penetration of 3DEXPERIENCE software, we utilize the following ratios: a) 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”); and, b) for software revenue, the Company calculates the percentage contribution by comparing total 3DEXPERIENCE software revenue  to software revenue for all product lines except SOLIDWORKS and acquisitions (“related software revenue”).
