PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 24, 2001--Dassault Systemes (Nasdaq: DASTY - news)
- Reports EPS Of EUR 0.27 In Quarter
- Both Revenue And Earnings In Line With Expectations
- Revenue Growth For The Full Year 2001 Estimated At 20%
Dassault Systemes (DS) (Nasdaq: DASTY; Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY PA), a worldwide leading software developer of product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions, today reported financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001.
Acquisition costs include goodwill and technology amortization and other related costs. All financial figures in this press release are before these acquisition costs unless otherwise noted.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Total revenue increased 21% to EUR 176.9 million in the second quarter of 2001, up from EUR 145.8 million in the 2000 second quarter. Net income totaled EUR 31.0 million, compared to EUR 29.7 million in the 2000 second quarter. Earnings per share were EUR 0.27, increasing 8% over the second quarter of 2000 where EPS was EUR 0.25.
Software license revenue, accounting for 86% of total revenue in the quarter, rose 20% to EUR 151.3 million, up from EUR 126.0 million in the second quarter of 2000. The Company continued to have a high level of recurring revenue, which represented 47% of 2001 second quarter software revenue. Service revenue increased 29% to EUR 25.6 million in the 2001 second quarter, compared to EUR 19.8 million in the year-ago quarter. 8,013 CATIA and 6,493 SolidWorks® seats were licensed in the second quarter of 2001.
For the six months ended June 30, 2001, total revenue rose 22% to EUR 342.0 million, compared to EUR 280.5 million in the 2000 first half. Net income for the first half of 2001 was EUR 60.9 million, compared to the year-ago period where net income totaled EUR 59.2 million. Earnings per share increased 4% to EUR 0.52, compared to EUR 0.50 in the first half of 2000.
Charles Edelstenne, Chairman of DS, commented, ``DS had a very solid second quarter and first half performance, particularly in light of the softer economic conditions in various regions of the world. Overall, the first half of the year was a period of good progress for DS, with significant new product releases across our brands, a broadening of our customer base and a deepening of relationships with customers and partners. Certainly DS' performance stands out, not just in our industry, but in the overall technology sector.''
Bernard Charles, President, commented, ``Our financial results in the second quarter came in on target. Our strong revenue growth reflected solid contributions from all of our brands in their respective markets. Clearly, our diversification strategy by market segments and product lines is working effectively. In addition, we were pleased to see strength coming from all regions of the world. Even during a period of economic softness, manufacturers continue to place a high priority on product innovation and product value in order to enhance their competitive positioning. DS' PLM software applications are at the heart of this effort as they help companies work in a collaborative environment to develop better products, shorten time to market and reduce manufacturing costs.
``Excluding PDM revenue, process-centric revenue, with our world- leading brand CATIA, increased 14% and our V5 adoption rate continued to build, representing 36% of total seats licensed in the quarter. Moreover, our V5 product offering has been significantly enhanced with our newest release issued in the second quarter. CATIA V5R7 provides the most comprehensive solution for collaborative design. Further validation and evidence of V5 traction is reflected in the number of software partners that have adopted V5 architecture in the PLM marketplace, including recently announced agreements with Cenit, EADS Matra Datavision, Innoveda, Metalsoft, NK-EXA and Zuken. Turning to the design-centric market, SolidWorks delivered its best quarter ever with record sales and new licenses, producing a 40% increase in revenues. It continues to solidify its number one position in the design-centric market. And our PDM business, including ENOVIA and Smart Solutions, had another strong quarter, with revenues growing 62%. ENOVIA recently celebrated its third anniversary and over this timeframe it has built the strongest product offering in its marketplace for product development and lifecycle management. Additionally, Smart Solutions had its highest quarterly revenue.''
Thibault de Tersant, Executive Vice President, stated, ``We believe the Company is well-positioned for good results in the second half of this year. For the full year, we are fine-tuning our revenue and EPS objectives. This revision simply reflects a more conservative posture on our part in light of overall global economic conditions and the impact of currency fluctuations on our expenses and does not reflect any particular trends we are observing in our business. Our new revenue range before new acquisitions is EUR 745 million to EUR 750 million, compared to our earlier objective of EUR 750 million. In addition, recently closed SRAC and ACT acquisitions will add approximately EUR 12 million in 2001, bringing total revenue to an estimate of between EUR 757 million to EUR 762 million, which represents a growth of 20% compared to 2000. With respect to earnings per share, our objective for the full year is EUR 1.25 to EUR 1.28, reflecting the modest fine-tuning of revenue expectations as well as higher expenses resulting solely from the impact of currency fluctuations on our costs. Our previous objective was EUR 1.33 per share. Based upon our financial model, with a high level of recurring revenue and good visibility, we are very comfortable with our outlook for 2001.''
NEW PRODUCT LAUNCHES
DS launched Version 5 Release 7 of CATIA, which incorporates major improvements to its existing products and introduces 19 new products, bringing the total number of CATIA V5 products to 97.
