“From multiple perspectives, the progress this past quarter is visible and spans from growing customers investment needs in Transportation & Mobility and High-Tech, among others, and strong Brand performances of CATIA and SIMULIA, both increasing software revenue double-digits in constant currencies, to our work in strengthening our sales channels and building up promising sales opportunities and increasingly strategic dialogues with customers and potential new clients,” commented Bernard Charlès, Dassault Systèmes President and Chief Executive Officer.

“During the second quarter we strengthened and expanded our brands and reinforced our strategy with two key acquisitions. This morning we announced the proposed acquisition of QUINTIQ bringing logistics and supply chain management to our DELMIA brand and strengthening the business operations optimization capabilities of our 3DEXPERIENCE platform. We further expanded the coverage provided by SIMULIA with the addition of SIMPACK, the technological leader in multi-body simulation. And we created a new brand, BIOVIA, in the domain of Life and Material Sciences where we can offer to clients a vast portfolio of applications and a collaborative platform, enabling them to manage their scientific innovation thanks to our Accelrys and bio-intelligence investments.

“Finally, new client activity in the quarter demonstrates that the availability of our 3DEXPERIENCE platform and software on the Cloud is enabling us to reach customers that we would not otherwise have been able to reach before.”
