Bernard Charlès, Dassault Systèmes President and Chief Executive Officer,
commented, "The second quarter unfolded as anticipated. Revenue, margin and
earnings results came in at the high end of our objectives, thanks to continued
strong interest in DS solutions across a diversified number of industries, and
to our cost savings program which is being implemented without impacting our R&D
and sales capacities.

"On balance, business conditions during the second quarter were similar to the
first quarter with customers remaining cautious with respect to new business
investments. We started to see some increase in activity among larger companies,
for which design excellence, simulation and compliance were significant drivers.
For smaller companies, in general, it was not the case as we observed some
slight further weakening from the first three months of the year.

"We are dedicated to the success of our customers with our investments in R&D.
In June, we introduced Version 6 Release 2010 for the PLM market. We are just at
the start ofthe adoption ramp of our V6 platform and software solutions and are
therefore pleased by the number of wins we are seeing with more than 130
companies to date, representing the apparel, aerospace, automotive, energy, life
sciences and high tech industries, among others.

"This quarter, we obtained a milestone decision, with Renault Group selecting
our V6 PLM solution, which will be deployed as their global collaborative
innovation platform for all functions involved in engineering and product
development, thus replacing legacy PDM and reducing Renault Group`s cost of
operations.

"In the Mainstream market, SolidWorks 2010 is set to be released in the fall of
2009 as scheduled. This latest release is uniquely positioned to offer users the
ability to easily evaluate design and material alternatives for sustainable
product development."

*In constant currencies.

* On a reported basis, IFRS and non-IFRS total revenue and software revenue
decreased by 5% and 2%, respectively, benefiting from favorable currency effects
which helped mitigate the impact of lower activity. 
* On a constant currency basis, non-IFRS software revenue performance benefited
from recurring software revenue which increased 6% (representing 74% of total
software revenue) but was negatively impacted by a decline in new licenses
revenue of 36%. 
* Excluding currency effects non-IFRS PLM software revenue declined by 9% with
CATIA and ENOVIA software revenue lower by 13% and 15%, respectively. Overall
PLM performance benefited from higher simulation revenue, with SIMULIA posting
double-digit software revenue growth. Mainstream 3D software results also
reflected lower new licenses revenue partially offset by growth in subscription
revenue. 
* In order to mitigate the impact of the global recession on its operating
results, the Company has in place a cost savings program with the goal of
reducing expenses while maintaining its research and development and sales
capacities.

* Since the start of the year, the Company has realized over €55 million in
savings across such areas as revenue-related costs, travel, marketing,
procurement, outside services and other areas. 
* In addition to the savings program, the Company had previously begun and is
continuing an operational efficiency program organized around several key
initiatives including shared services and co-location of offices. The Company
anticipates that these efficiency programs will bring additional benefits in
2010.

Looking at financial results on a sequential basis,

* Non-IFRS total revenue was €311.2 million in the second quarter, compared to
€310.7 million in the first quarter, and excluding quarter to quarter currency
effects increased 2%. 
* Non-IFRS total software revenue was €271.6 million, similar to first quarter
non-IFRS total software revenue of €272.8 million. Excluding currency effects,
non-IFRS total software revenue increased 2% sequentially, with new licenses
revenue higher by 10% and services and other revenue growing 7%. As anticipated,
non-IFRS recurring software revenue was lower by 1% on a sequential basis in
constant currencies. 
* The non-IFRS operating margin improved to 21.9% in the second quarter from
19.4% in the first quarter benefiting from the ongoing implementation of the
Company`s cost savings program. 
* Global headcount at June 30th was 7,903, down 1.5% from 8,020 at March 31,
2009.

*In constant currencies. 

IFRS and non-IFRS total revenue was lower by approximately 2% as reported and 9%
in constant currencies. Revenue growth rates on a reported basis benefited from
the strengthening of both the US dollar and the Japanese yen during the first
half of 2009 compared to the 2008 First Half which helped mitigate the impact of
lower activity. 

Revenue distribution by geographic region in the 2009 First Half remained
similar to that of the same period in 2008. As a percentage of total revenue,
Europe represented 46% (47% in 2008 First Half), the Americas accounted for 31%
(30% in 2008 First Half) and Asia represented 23% (23% in 2008 First Half). 

For the 2009 First Half, IFRS and non-IFRS software revenue was lower by
approximately 1% as reported and 7% in constant currencies, reflecting periodic
licenses, maintenance, and product development revenue growth of 11% which was
largely offset by a decrease in new licenses revenue of 38% (all figures in
constant currencies except as noted). 

Non-IFRS recurring software revenue, comprised of periodic licenses and
maintenance revenue, increased 10% in constant currencies and totaled €407.8
million for the 2009 First Half, compared to €345.6 million in the 2008 First
Half. Recurring software revenue represented 75% of total software revenue in
the 2009 First Half and 63% in the 2008 First Half. 

Software revenue growth trends were similarly impacted in both the PLM and
Mainstream segments of the Company`s business with a significant decrease in new
license revenue activity offset in part by growth in periodic licenses and
maintenance revenue. 

IFRS net income per diluted share decreased 45.2% principally reflecting the
year-over-year decrease in revenue as well as the year-ago benefit from the gain
on sale of part of the Company`s prior corporate headquarters facility. Non-IFRS
net income per diluted share decreased 14.9%, principally reflecting lower
revenue activity. 

Cash Flow and Other Financial Highlights

IFRS net operating cash flow was €81.0 million and €177.3 million for the second
quarter and first half ended June 30, 2009, respectively. 

Cash and short-term investments totaled €932.8 million at June 30, 2009,
compared to €840.4 million at December 31, 2008. The Company`s net financial
position amounted to €732.6 million at June 30, 2009, net of outstanding debt
consisting of €200.2 million of financial long-term debt. During the second
quarter 2009, the Company paid cash dividends totaling €54.8 million. 

Annual Shareholders` Meeting Approved Cash Dividend Payment

The Annual Shareholders` Meeting was held on June 9, 2009. At the meeting
shareholders approved for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 the payment of
an annual cash dividend equivalent to €0.46 per share, equal to the prior year.
The Company has consistently paid annual cash dividends since its initial public
offering in 1996. The cash dividend was paid on June 25, 2009.

Business Outlook

Thibault de Tersant, Senior Executive Vice President and CFO, commented, "Our
results for the second quarter confirm our realistic assessment of market
conditions which we made at the time of our first quarter press release.

"With respect to operating profitability, our focus on cost containment is
proceeding as planned, with over €55 million in cost savings realized during the
first half of this year. We also continued with our broader goals of improving
our operational efficiency across DS with shared services and co-location
initiatives, all of which will bring additional benefits to DS as we move into
2010. Our progress quarter to quarter is evident in the sequential improvement
in our non-IFRS operating margin. And, for the full year, we continue to target
an operating margin of about 25% on a non-IFRS basis, unchanged from our
previous goal.

"Looking ahead to the third quarter, we are assuming no change to business
conditions and historical seasonal revenue patterns, leading to the assumption
of a sequential decrease in revenue results in comparison to the second quarter.
But with our ongoing cost actions, and based upon our revenue objective, we are
targeting a stable to improving sequential performance from an earnings and
operating margin perspectives for the third quarter.

"As we move into the second half of the year, we are narrowing our full year
revenue objective range but otherwise holding the mid-point unchanged on a
constant currency basis. Similarly we are narrowing our EPS objective range.
Given the strengthening of the Euro we think it is appropriate to update our US
dollar and Japanese yen exchange rates assumptions in comparison to the Euro,
and therefore are adjusting our reported revenue range and earnings per share,
accordingly."

The Company`s objectives are prepared and communicated only on a non-IFRS basis
and are subject to the cautionary statement set forth below. The Company`s
current objectives are the following:

* Third quarter 2009 non-IFRS total revenue objective of about €285 to €300
million and non-IFRS EPS of about €0.36 to €0.42; 
* 2009 non-IFRS revenue growth objective range of about (8%) to (6%) in constant
currencies (€1,250 to €1,280 billion based upon the 2009 currency exchange rate
assumptions below); 
* 2009 non-IFRS operating margin of about 24% to 26%; 
* 2009 non-IFRS EPS range of about €1.76 to €1.91; 
* Objectives are based upon exchange rate assumptions for the 2009 third quarter
of US$1.50 per €1.00 and JPY140 per €1.00 and a full year average of US$1.42 per
€1.00 and JPY134 per €1.00.

The non-IFRS objectives set forth above do not take into account the following
accounting elements and are estimated based upon the 2009 currency exchange
rates above: (i) deferred revenue write-downs estimated at approximately €1.4
million for 2009; (ii) share-based compensation expense estimated at
approximately €22 million for 2009, and (iii) amortization of acquired
intangibles estimated at approximately €40 million for 2009. The above
objectives do not include any impact from other operating income and expense,
net principally comprised of restructuring expenses. These estimates also do not
include any new stock option or share grants, or any new acquisitions or
restructurings completed after July 30, 2009.

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 DS 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. In preparing such forward-looking statements, the Company
has in particular assumed an average U.S. dollar to euro exchange rate of
US$1.42 per €1.00 and an average Japanese yen to euro exchange rate of JPY134 to
€1.00 for the 2009 full year; however, currency values fluctuate, and the
Company`s results of operations may be significantly affected by changes in
exchange rates. The Company has tried to factor in the potential impact of the
current global economic crisis on its 2009 third quarter and full year
objectives, but conditions could worsen. Further the Company has assumed that
its increased responsibility for both indirect and direct PLM sales channels,
and the resulting commercial and management challenges, will not cause it to
incur substantial unanticipated costs and inefficiencies. The Company`s actual
results or performance may also be materially negatively affected by the current
global economic crisis, difficulties or adverse changes affecting its partners
or its relationships with its partners, including the Company`s longstanding,
strategic partner, IBM; new product developments and technological changes;
errors or defects in its products; growth in market share by its competitors;
and the realization of any risks related to the integration of any newly
acquired company and internal reorganizations. Unfavorable changes in any of the
above or other factors described in the Company`s regulatory reports, including
the Document de référence, as filed with the French "Autorité des marchés
financiers" (AMF) on April 2, 2009, could materially affect the Company`s
financial position or results of operations. 

Non-IFRS Financial Information

Readers are cautioned that the supplemental non-IFRS (previously referred to as
"adjusted 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 annual report for the year ended December 31, 2008 included in the
Company`s 2008 Document de référence filed with the AMF on April 2, 2009. 

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, stock-based
compensation expense, the expenses for the amortization of acquired intangible
assets and other income and expense, net (in each case, as explained
respectively in the Company`s 2008 Document de référence). The tables also set
forth the most comparable IFRS financial measure and reconciliations of this
information with non-IFRS information. 

Information in Constant Currencies

When the Company believes it would be helpful for understanding trends in its
business, the Company provides percentage increases or decreases in its revenue
(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 herein "in constant currencies",
the results of the "current" period have first been recalculated using the
average exchange rates of the comparable period in the preceding year, and then
compared with the results of the comparable period in the preceding year.

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 Document de référence for the year
ended December 31, 2008 filed with the AMF on April 2, 2009. To compensate for
these limitations, the supplemental non-IFRS financial information should be
read not in isolation, but only in conjunction with the Company`s consolidated
financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS.

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 Document de référence for the year
ended December 31, 2008 filed with the AMF on April 2, 2009. To compensate for
these limitations, the supplemental non-IFRS financial information should be
read not in isolation, but only in conjunction with the Company`s consolidated
financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS.
