Mirroring economic realities that its own European manufacturing customers face, French PLM provider Dassault Systemes today reported first-quarter sales growth of 6%, softened by a weak dollar that prompted the company to cut its yearly revenue forecast by 3%.
The Paris-based vendor of product lifecycle management and design software said GAAP revenue for the quarter ended March 31 was €307.4 million, but would have been closer to €324 million — a 10% sales increase — if the dollar hadn’t plunged. Net income totaled €40.6 million, up from €32.9 million in the year-prior quarter.
Dassault cut its 2008 revenue forecast by roughly €40 million, to a range of €1.33 billion to €1.34 billion. The company does about one-third of its business in the Americas, where many customers pay with the declining U.S. dollar.
