Operating income increased 15% to EUR 52.5 million in the second quarter of 2004 (27.3% operating margin), compared to EUR 45.6 million in the second quarter of 2003 (25.2% operating margin). Operating income before acquisition costs increased 13% to EUR 53.0 million in the second quarter, up from EUR 47.0 million in the year-ago period. The operating margin before acquisition costs increased 1.6 percentage points to 27.5% in the second quarter of 2004, compared to the year-ago quarter where the operating margin was 25.9% before acquisition costs.

Earnings per share increased 24% to EUR 0.31 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2004, up from EUR 0.25 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2003. Earnings per share before acquisition costs increased 19% to EUR 0.31 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2004, up from EUR 0.26 per diluted share in the year-ago quarter. The sharp increase in earnings per share, as reported and before acquisition costs, reflected the growth in revenue and strong increase in operating income as well as a higher level of financial revenue. Net income increased 27% to EUR 35.8 million, in the recently completed quarter, compared to EUR 28.2 million in the year-ago quarter. Net income before acquisition costs increased 25% to EUR 36.5 million in the second quarter of 2004, compared to EUR 29.3 million in the respective 2003 quarter.

Charles Edelstenne, Chairman of Dassault Systemes, concluded, "Our focus is on bringing value to our shareholders by delivering on our financial objectives, consistently investing in our future and sharing a significant portion of the net income of the Company with shareholders."

Business Outlook

"We are increasing our 2004 growth objectives for revenue and EPS before acquisition costs to reflect the higher than anticipated level of activity in the second quarter. Our revenue growth objective is about 9% in constant currencies, and our EPS before acquisition costs objective is 13% to 15% growth in constant currencies," Thibault de Tersant stated.

"For the purposes of calculating reported revenue, operating margin and EPS objectives, we are maintaining our previous assumption of a U.S. dollar to euro exchange rate of $1.25 per EUR 1.00 leading to a reported revenue objective of about EUR 795 million, up from EUR 785 million and an EPS before acquisition costs objective of about EUR 1.33 - EUR 1.35 for 2004, up from EUR 1.30 - EUR 1.32 previously.

"Based upon our first half results and second half outlook, our operating margin before acquisition costs is likely to be slightly better than our 2003 operating margin of 29.0%. Our revenue objective for the third quarter is about EUR 183 - EUR 188 million, based upon a U.S. dollar to Euro exchange rate of $1.25 per EUR 1.00," Thibault de Tersant concluded.

    3. The Company uses constant currency revenue growth to evaluate
       its financial performance in comparison to prior periods and
       as a measure of expected growth in planning and setting
       objectives for future periods. The Company believes this
       measure is an important indicator of the Company's progress
       and outlook because it provides a better gauge of the level of
       change in the business activity as it eliminates any changes
       arising from currency fluctuations. The Company believes the
       presentation of this measure is relevant and useful for
       investors because it allows investors to view revenue growth
       in a manner similar to the method used by the Company's
       management, helps improve investors' ability to understand the
       Company's revenue growth, and makes it easier to compare DS'
       results with other companies, including competitors, whose
       reporting currency may be different from DS. Constant currency
       revenue growth, as calculated by the Company, may not be
       comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other
