* In constant currencies.

Bernard Charles, Dassault Systemes President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "2007 was a year of exceptional progress for Dassault Systemes. We made significant headway in transforming our go-to-market sales model, most visibly assuming control of our PLM indirect channel, while expanding the IBM PLM offering as well as better leveraging our direct sales force capacity and increasing our sales capacity in Mainstream 3D. As a result, we enter 2008 with expanded resources in all of our sales channels.

"With the introduction of PLM 2.0 our customers will benefit from PLM online for all. Following several years of development, our Version 6 platform provides an unmatched level of integration and openness, covering a wide variety of PLM business processes driven by user experiences at all stages.

"Our 2007 financial performance benefited from the strength of our brands and the diversification of our revenues by geographic regions. Our non-GAAP software revenue growth reached 16% in constant currencies in 2007.

"Looking to 2008, the investments we have made in strengthening our product portfolio and sales channels provide solid underpinnings to our financial objectives despite the potentially mixed macro-economic backdrop." Fourth Quarter Financial Highlights

Thibault de Tersant, Senior Executive Vice President and CFO, commented: "Fourth quarter software revenue growth, expense levels and EPS results were in line with our expectations. PLM consulting services tracked to plan. Nonetheless, total services and other revenue came in about EUR 4 million lower than anticipated with the majority of the weakness located in our former IBM business partner operations. We saw year-on-year improvement in our non-GAAP operating margin, increasing to 35%, but the extent of the improvement was limited by the services results."

-- In constant currencies, fourth quarter revenue in Asia increased 21% (non-GAAP up 22%), followed by the Americas with growth of 10% (non-GAAP up 10%) and Europe with growth of 6% (non-GAAP up 8%).

-- GAAP PLM software revenue increased 14% and non-GAAP PLM software revenue increased 17%, both in constant currencies.

-- GAAP Mainstream 3D software revenue increased 16% in constant currencies. Non-GAAP Mainstream 3D software revenue increased 12% in constant currencies in the fourth quarter. SolidWorks new seat growth was 12%.

-- GAAP recurring software revenue represented 55% of software revenue for the fourth quarter. Non-GAAP recurring software revenue, representing 54% of non-GAAP software revenue in the quarter, increased 24% in constant currencies.

-- Services and other revenue, representing 15% of total revenue, decreased approximately 7% in constant currencies in the fourth quarter principally reflecting a strong base of comparison with the year-ago quarter.

-- GAAP operating margin was 28.9% in the quarter. Non-GAAP operating margin increased to 34.9%, compared to 34.3% in the year-ago period.

-- GAAP earnings per diluted share decreased 3% for the fourth quarter. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share increased 8% in the fourth quarter primarily reflecting an increase in non-GAAP operating income of 7% and a lower effective tax rate offset in part by a decrease in financial revenue.

-- New wins in the fourth quarter included: Michael Kors in apparel with ENOVIA, Pelamis Wave Power in energy with SIMULIA, and Avtovaz in automotive in Russia with CATIA. Full Year 2007 Financial Highlights

-- In constant currencies, Asia posted revenue growth of 24% (non-GAAP up 24%) on strong growth in Japan and throughout most of Asia, the Americas increased 20% (non-GAAP up 19%) and Europe was higher by 6% (non-GAAP up 7%).

-- GAAP PLM software revenue increased 17% in constant currencies. Non-GAAP PLM software revenue increased 16% in constant currencies.
      -- CATIA non-GAAP software revenue growth of 14% in constant
       currencies benefited from increased leasing activity, growth in
       maintenance, increasing interest in CATIA PLM Express in the
       mid-market and the inclusion of ICEM.
      -- ENOVIA non-GAAP software revenue growth of 32% reflected key
       new wins in target industries including high tech and apparel,
       growth with existing customers and the inclusion of ENOVIA
       MatrixOne for a full year.
      -- SIMULIA posted a record year on expanding relationships with
       customers.
      -- The GAAP PLM indirect channel software revenue grew by
       double-digits in constant currencies during 2007. In total the
       PLM indirect channel accounted for approximately one-quarter of
       DS' total revenue in 2007. At the end of 2007 DS was directly
       responsible for 25 regions. In addition to revenue growth, PLM
       indirect channel capacity grew by over 15% during 2007.


-- GAAP Mainstream 3D software revenue increased 15% in constant currencies. Non-GAAP Mainstream 3D software revenue increased 14% in constant currencies on SolidWorks new seat growth of 13% and strong growth in maintenance revenue, including renewals.

-- GAAP recurring software revenue represented 60% of software revenue. Non-GAAP recurring software revenue, representing 60% of non-GAAP software revenue, increased 28% in constant currencies for the year reflecting growth in maintenance and periodic licenses.

-- Services and other revenue increased approximately 6% in constant currencies on growth of PLM consulting services, offset in part by lower revenue related to DS operations formerly known as IBM business partner activities.

-- GAAP operating margin was 20.1% for the year. The non-GAAP operating margin was 26.2% compared to 26.9% for 2006, with currency exchange rate variations accounting for approximately 60 basis points of the 70 basis points decrease.

-- GAAP earnings per diluted share decreased 1% for the full year primarily reflecting higher investments in marketing and sales and G&A, a higher effective tax rate and the impact of amortization of acquired intangibles in connection with acquisitions. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share increased 8% for the full year 2007 due to an increase in non-GAAP operating income of 6%, higher financial revenue and a lower effective tax rate.

-- DS also announced initial plans to allocate up to EUR 35 million towards the repurchase of its common stock during 2008.

Cash flow and other financial highlights

Net operating cash flow was EUR 70.9 million and EUR 311.0 million, respectively, for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2007. Cash and short-term investments totaled EUR 626.6 million and long-term debt totaled EUR 202.9 million at December 31, 2007.

Other Corporate Announcements

On January 24th, DS announced the launch of PLM 2.0 and its new, next-generation platform, Version 6 (V6). PLM 2.0, PLM online for all, is a 3D online environment for everyone to experience products virtually where all user interactions generate product experience. PLM 2.0 is to PLM what Web 2.0 is to the Web, harnessing collective intelligence from online communities. Any user can imagine, share and experience products in the universal language of 3D. PLM 2.0 brings knowledge, from idea to product experience, to life.

V6 is an open platform, embracing SOA standards. V6 delivers a single PLM platform for all PLM business processes, available to anybody anywhere, spanning engineering groups, businesses and end users. V6 also gives intelligent access to all product experience information no matter the data source location, with MatrixOne technology built into the foundation. Business Outlook

Thibault de Tersant, Senior Executive Vice President and CFO, commented: "Turning to 2008 we are reconfirming our 12% non-GAAP software revenue growth objective in constant currencies. We see good opportunities for growth coming from both our core and target industries. We are initiating our non-GAAP earnings per share growth objective of about 10% to 12% for 2008. In addition, we expect to see about an 80 to 130 basis points expansion in our non-GAAP operating margin in 2008 compared to 2007.

"In summary, thanks to the investments in our sales channels and product portfolio, we enter 2008 a substantially stronger company, well positioned to deliver growth in software, operating margin and earnings per share in spite of the macro-economic environment."

The Company's objectives are prepared and communicated only on a non-GAAP basis and are subject to the cautionary statement set forth below:

-- First quarter 2008 non-GAAP total revenue objective of about EUR 305 to EUR 310 million and non-GAAP EPS of about EUR 0.40 to EUR 0.42;

-- 2008 non-GAAP total revenue objective of about 10% growth in constant currencies; 2008 non-GAAP software revenue objective of about 12% growth in constant currencies;

-- 2008 non-GAAP EPS objective of about EUR 2.17 to EUR 2.22, representing about 10% to 12% growth;

-- 2008 non-GAAP operating margin objective of about 27% to 27.5%;

-- Objectives based upon exchange rate assumptions for the 2008 first quarter and full year of US$1.45 per EUR 1.00 and JPY 160 per EUR 1.00;

-- The constant currency revenue objective leads to a reported 2008 non-GAAP revenue range of about EUR 1.365 to EUR 1.380 billion;

The non-GAAP objectives set forth above do not take into account the following accounting elements: deferred revenue write-downs estimated at approximately EUR 1 million for 2008; stock-based compensation expense estimated at approximately EUR 18 million for 2008; amortization of acquired intangibles estimated at approximately EUR 48 million for 2008. The above objectives do not include any impact from one-time costs and one-time gains related to the anticipated DS global headquarters' relocation in 2008. These estimates also do not include any new stock option or share grants, or any new acquisitions completed after February 13, 2008.

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 our non-GAAP financial performance objectives, are forward-looking statements (within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).

Such forward-looking statements are based on our 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, we have in particular assumed an average U.S. dollar to euro exchange rate of US$1.45 per EUR 1.00 and an average Japanese yen to euro exchange rate of JPY160 to EUR 1.00 for the first quarter and full year 2008; however, currency values fluctuate, and our results of operations may be significantly affected by changes in exchange rates. We have also assumed that there will be no substantial decline in general levels of corporate spending on information technology, and that our increased responsibility for both indirect and direct PLM sales channels, and the resulting commercial and management challenges, will not prevent us from maintaining growth in revenues or cause us to incur substantial unanticipated costs and inefficiencies. Our actual results or performance may also be materially negatively affected by difficulties or adverse changes affecting our partners or our relationships with our partners, including our longstanding, strategic partner, IBM; new product developments and technological changes; errors or defects in our products; growth in market share by our 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 SEC reports, including the Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2006, which was filed with the SEC on May 29, 2007, could materially affect the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Non-GAAP financial information

Readers are cautioned that the supplemental non-GAAP 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 U.S. GAAP measurements. Also, our supplemental non-GAAP financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Further specific limitations for individual non-GAAP measures, and the reasons for presenting non-GAAP financial information, are set forth in the company's annual report for the year ended December 31, 2006 on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on May 29, 2007. To compensate for these limitations, the supplemental non-GAAP financial information should be read not in isolation, but only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Information in constant currencies

When we believe it would be helpful for understanding trends in our business, we provide percentage increases or decreases in our revenue (in both US GAAP and on a non-GAAP basis) 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.
