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

“Our preliminary second quarter revenue came in below the guidance by about €30 million, or 2%, due to large transaction delays. While we apologize for this shortfall, I want to confirm my commitment to Dassault Systèmes’ long track record of delivering results in accordance with our guidance.

Although second quarter pipeline permitted to deliver on our initial guide and the need for our solutions remains strong, we have observed cautiousness in customer signings in a complex geopolitical environment.

Importantly, all deals that have been delayed are still in our roadmap for future quarters. However, we anticipate that a certain volatility in customers’ decision-making will continue and consequently believe it is prudent to reflect this in our full year outlook.”

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

“As we want to continue our long-lasting track record of delivering results according to plan, we have decided to reduce the risk of our back-end loaded year by adjusting our 2024 total revenue guidance growth to now 6% to 8%, versus 8% to 10% previously, and diluted EPS in the range of 8% to 11%, versus 10% to 12% prior.

We will be taking the necessary actions to balance between operating efficiency and investments in long term growth, while preserving EPS.

We will conduct a conference call today at 2 PM CEST / 8 AM EST to discuss this update. At the same time, we confirm our Earnings Call on July 25^th, 2024, as planned, where we will present and discuss the financial results of second quarter in more detail.”
