“Dassault Systemes had an excellent second quarter and first half, reflecting the contribution of our PLM solutions to product competitiveness and innovation,“ CEO Bernard Charles said in a statement on results for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. “In particular, we had an excellent dynamic in software across our leading brands with new wins and additional business in many of our verticals, including automotive, aerospace, high tech, energy, apparel, and life sciences, among others.”
In a conference call with analysts this morning, CFO Thibault de Tersant pointed out that the quarter’s growth was “achieved without any mega-deals.”
