, President, commented, "All areas of our business and all geographies contributed to the Company's solid results in the third quarter. Process-centric revenues increased 10% and accounted for 73% of total revenue. CATIA V5 is well on its way to representing approximately 40% of CATIA licenses for 2001. SolidWorks, the number one player in the design-centric market, grew 31%, with over 70% of revenue coming from new customers.

"DS is very well positioned as we prepare to enter 2002. The Company is on target to introduce two major 3D PLM releases in the first half of 2002 enabling 3D PLM processes for our core market segments. These releases represent a significant milestone for DS and are unique to our industry. No other company provides this spectrum of integration across products, processes and resources. Moreover, they represent a significant step forward in enabling DS to become a provider of solutions to manage intellectual property (I.P.) for industrial companies. 2002 will also be a year where we continue to invest in our business as we have done in the past, notwithstanding the more difficult economic environment, as we move forward our vision for the future."

"Looking ahead to 2002, we believe DS is positioned to show a good level of growth over 2001 due to the Company's leadership position in the 3D PLM market, our continued penetration of new target markets and significant strengthening of our product portfolio. Specifically, we expect total revenue to grow approximately 15% and our operating margin to continue at 30% in 2002. Our outlook conservatively assumes a soft economic environment throughout 2002."
