“Our 3DEXPERIENCE platform is truly an innovation platform and has now proven to be instrumental in helping companies transform the future - creating new markets and new business models. Our clients’ results with 3DEXPERIENCE are demonstrating the significant business value it can bring to help them respond to the associated complex challenges in order to achieve their targeted objectives as they invent the future of the Experience Economy,” commented Bernard Charlès, President and Chief Executive Officer, Dassault Systèmes. “The 3DEXPERIENCE Platform is not only the operating system managing Big Data, connecting with all enterprise data, disciplines and people. It is also becoming a trading platform for content and online services.”
Thibault de Tersant, Senior EVP and CFO, commented, “We had a very good start to our five-year objective to double our non-IFRS earnings per share by 2019. We have already reached our goal of doubling our addressable market thanks to the combination of acquisitions and organic developments. On top of this our industry diversification has already hit its targeted mix and we expect to exceed it. We are indeed benefitting from multiple key revenue growth drivers with our Brands, our Industry approach, the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, and strong recurring software revenue dynamic as well as acquisitions in support of our strategy. In summary, we are well positioned to reach our 2019 EPS objective of 3.50 euros.”
