Dassault Systèmes’ Chief Executive Officer Commentary
Pascal Daloz, Dassault Systèmes’ Chief Executive Officer, commented:
“At Dassault Systèmes, our ambition is clear: we will lead the Industrial AI transformation through 3D UNIV+RSES. This is not a short-term goal. It is a long-term commitment to redefine how industries innovate, operate, and compete. Our vision is built on decades of industrial and scientific knowledge and know-how, and we are now building the capabilities to turn that vision into reality. True transformation takes time, for our customers and for ourselves.
Leadership in Industrial AI starts with strong foundations. That is why, in 2025 and 2026, we are focused on disciplined execution, aligning resources around our strategic priorities to deliver measurable, industry-defining impact.
We continue to win with existing customers and displace competitors. In Life Sciences, the opportunity is transformative: moving from document-based processes to the Virtual Twin of Pharma, a game-changing approach unlocking unprecedented efficiency, quality, and compliance.
In just one year, we have launched three categories of AI-native generative solutions: Virtual Companions, Generative Experiences, and Virtual Twins as a Service. In 2026, we shift to turning 3D UNIV+RSES into tangible value, targeting high-impact opportunities with long-term monetization. Our partnership with NVIDIA exemplifies our leadership, combining virtual twins with accelerated computing to define the future of Industry World Models.
We will share more at our Capital Markets Day in November, outlining how Dassault Systèmes is leading the next Industrial Revolution for long-term success.”
Dassault Systèmes’ Chief Financial Officer Commentary
(revenue, operating margin and diluted EPS (“EPS”) growth rates in constant currencies,
data on a non-IFRS basis)
Rouven Bergmann, Dassault Systèmes’ Chief Financial Officer, commented:
“In 2025, total revenue increased 4% at the low end of our objective. The momentum of 3DEXPERIENCE and Cloud continued, reflecting the health of our core business. This is highlighted by solid performance in the Americas and consistent growth in Asia. However, in parts of Europe, we faced headwinds due to a weak Automotive sector.
In Mainstream Innovation, SOLIDWORKS had a good year, building momentum. As expected, CENTRIC PLM performance was negatively impacted by a strong baseline. Cloud adoption progressed well in the second half, paving the way for future growth acceleration.
We delivered good profitability in Q4 and the full year, thanks to operational efficiency and cost discipline. As a result, operating margin was up 90 basis points for Q4, driving the full year to 32.0%, up 40 basis points, and diluted EPS to €1.31, up 7%.
Entering 2026, we are building new levers of growth and profitability by introducing unique Industrial AI offerings and value-based monetization models. As customers embrace new business models, we expect subscription revenue to accelerate. Consequently, we are starting to report an Annual Run Rate (ARR) in 2026 to provide better visibility in our journey ahead.
This transformation takes time, and disciplined execution requires that we create room to make the right decisions for long-term success. We anticipate 2026 total revenue growth between 3% and 5%, operating margin expansion of 40-80 basis points and EPS up 3% to 6%.”

Forwad-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 2024 Universal Registration Document (‘Document d'enregistrement universel’) filed with the AMF (French Financial Markets Authority) on March 18, 2025, available on the Group’s website www.3ds.com.
In particular, please refer to the risk factor “Uncertain Global Environment” in section 1.9.1.1 of the 2024 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 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 to cease operations. A deteriorating economic environment could generate increased price pressure and affect the collection of receivables, which would negatively affect Dassault Systèmes’ revenue, financial performance and market position.
Dassault Systèmes makes every effort to take into consideration this uncertain 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$1.18 per €1.00 as well as an average Japanese yen to euro exchange rate of JPY170.0 to €1.00, before hedging for the first quarter 2026. The Group has assumed an average US dollar to euro exchange rate of US$1.18 per €1.00 as well as an average Japanese yen to euro exchange rate of JPY170.0 to €1.00, before hedging for the full year 2026. However, currency values fluctuate, and the Group’s results may be significantly affected by changes in exchange rates.

DASSAULT SYSTÈMES - Glossary of Definitions
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 and 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 to compare IFRS and non-IFRS revenue figures for comparable periods. All information at constant currencies 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 relating to the Group’s entire scope, Dassault Systèmes also provides growth information excluding acquisitions’ effects, and named organic growth. To do so, the Group’s data is restated to exclude acquisitions, from the date of the transaction, over a period of 12 months.
Information on Industrial Sectors
Dassault Systèmes provides end-to-end software solutions and services: its 3D UNIV+RSES ─ made of multiple virtual twin experiences that are powered by artificial intelligence and developed on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform ─ combine modeling, simulation, data science, and collaborative innovation to support companies in the three sectors it serves, namely Manufacturing Industries, Life Sciences & Healthcare, and Infrastructure & Cities.
These three sectors comprise twelve industries:
Information on Product Lines
The Group’s financial reporting on product lines includes the following information:
OUTSCALE has been a Dassault Systèmes brand since 2022, extending the portfolio of software applications. As the first sovereign and sustainable operator on the cloud, OUTSCALE enables governments and corporations from all sectors to achieve digital autonomy through a Cloud experience and with a world-class cyber governance.
GEOs
Eleven GEOs are responsible for driving the development of the Company’s business and implementing its customer‑centric engagement model. Teams leverage strong networks of local customers, users, partners, and influencers.
These GEOs are structured into three groups:
3DEXPERIENCE Software Contribution
To measure the relative share of 3DEXPERIENCE software in its revenues, Dassault Systèmes calculates the percentage contribution by comparing total 3DEXPERIENCE software revenue to software revenue for all product lines except SOLIDWORKS, MEDIDATA, CENTRIC PLM and other acquisitions (defined as “3DEXPERIENCE Eligible software revenue”).
Cloud revenue
Cloud revenue is generated from contracts that provide access to cloud-based solutions (SaaS), infrastructure as a service (IaaS), cloud solution development and cloud managed services. These offerings are delivered by Dassault Systèmes through its own cloud infrastructure or by third-party cloud providers. They are available through different deployment methods: Dedicated cloud, Sovereign cloud and International cloud. Cloud solutions are generally offered through subscription-based models or perpetual licenses with support and hosting services.

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, 2024 filed with the AMF on March 18, 2025. 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.
(1) In the reconciliation schedule above, (i) all adjustments to IFRS revenue data reflect the exclusion of the effect of adjusting the carrying value of acquired companies’ contract liabilities (deferred revenue); (ii) adjustments to IFRS operating expense data reflect the exclusion of the amortization of acquired intangible assets and of tangible assets revaluation, share-based compensation expense, including related social charges, lease incentives of acquired companies, as detailed below, and other operating income and expense, net including acquisition, integration and restructuring expenses, and impairment of goodwill and acquired intangible assets; (iii) adjustments to IFRS financial loss, net reflect the exclusion of certain one-time items included in financial loss, net, and; (iv) all adjustments to IFRS income data reflect the combined effect of these adjustments, plus with respect to net income and diluted earnings per share, certain one-time tax effects and the income tax effect of the non-IFRS adjustments.
(2) The non-IFRS percentage increase (decrease) compares non-IFRS measures for the two different periods. In the event there is non-IFRS adjustment to the relevant measure for only one of the periods under comparison, the non-IFRS increase (decrease) compares the non-IFRS measure to the relevant IFRS measure.
(3) Based on a weighted average 1,328.4 million diluted shares for Q4 2025 and 1,330.0 million diluted shares for Q4 2024, and, for IFRS only, a diluted net income attributable to the shareholders of € 436.7 million for Q4 2025 (€ 394.7 million for Q4 2024).
