Maranello (Italy), August 2, 2019 – Ferrari N.V. (NYSE/MTA: RACE) (“Ferrari” or the “Company”) today announces its consolidated preliminary results(4) for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019.

Shipments(5)(6)

pag_2.jpg

Shipments totaled 2,671 units in the second quarter 2019, up 208 units or +8.4% vs. prior year. This achievement was driven by a 12.3% increase in sales of our 8 cylinder models (V8), while the 12 cylinder models (V12) decreased by a few units. The performance was mainly led by robust deliveries of the Ferrari Portofino as well as the 812 Superfast. This was partially offset by lower volume from the 488 family, with the 488 GTB and the 488 Spider approaching the end of their lifecycles, partially offset by the 488 Pista ramp up and the first deliveries of the 488 Pista Spider.

EMEA(6) grew 11.4%, Rest of APAC(6) was up 5.8%, while Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan were up 63.3% and Americas(6) down 5.5%. Geographic mix shifted in favor of Mainland China as a result of the decision to accelerate client deliveries in advance of the early introduction of new emission regulations as was the case in the first quarter and with lower shipments to the U.S. reflecting the above mentioned model phase in and phase out within the 488 family.

Total net revenues

pag_3.jpg

Net revenues for the second quarter 2019 increased to Euro 984 million, up 8.6% at current currency and up 6.8% at constant currency(1). Revenues in Cars and spare parts(7) (Euro 766 million, +14.4% at current currency or +12.4% at constant currency(1)) were supported by the ramp up of the 488 Pista and the 488 Pista Spider, as well as higher volumes of the Ferrari Portofino and the 812 Superfast, this was partially offset by the prior year shipments of LaFerrari Aperta as well as lower sales of the 488 GTB and the 488 Spider. Revenues growth was also supported by a strong positive contribution from personalization programs along with deliveries of the FXX K EVO. The erosion in Engines(8) revenues (Euro 53 million, -34.8% at current and constant currency(1)) reflected lower shipments to Maserati. Sponsorship, commercial and brand(9) revenues (Euro 131 million, +3.6% at current currency or +2.1% at constant currency(1)) slightly increased due to higher revenues generated by Formula 1 racing activities. Currency, including translation and transaction impacts as well as foreign currency hedges, had a positive impact of Euro 17 million (mainly USD).

Adjusted EBITDA(2) and Adjusted EBIT(2)

pag_4.jpg

Q2 2019 Adjusted EBIT(2) was Euro 239 million, +10.1% at current currency or +3.7% at constant currency(1) due to higher volumes (Euro 27 million) and a slight Mix / price variance favorability (Euro 5 million). This performance was attributable to the combined impact of the improved personalization rate and deliveries of the FXX K EVO, which more than offset product mix. Industrial costs / research and development costs increased (Euro 16 million), mainly due to higher operational start up costs due to the introduction of new models as well as higher spending in Formula 1 racing activities. SG&A increased (Euro 6 million) to support the Company’s growth.

The tax rate was reduced to 20% as a result of the previously disclosed advance agreement on the Patent Box.

As a result of the items described above, Adjusted diluted earnings(2) per share for the second quarter reached Euro 0.96, up 13.9% vs. prior year.

Industrial free cash flow(2) for the three months ending on June 30, 2019 was Euro 139 million, driven by the Adjusted EBITDA(2) growth, the positive cash impact generated by the Patent Box benefit, as well as residual collection of initial advances on the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2. This was partially offset by capital expenditures of Euro 173 million.

Net Industrial Debt(2)(11) as of June 30, 2019 was Euro 353 million, which compares with Euro 370 million as of December 31, 2018 and with Euro 192 million as of March 31, 2019. The increase versus March 31, 2019 was due to the cash impact of the Euro 195 million dividend distribution(12) and of the Euro 99 million of share repurchases executed in the second quarter of 2019, which more than offset the positive industrial free cash flow. Lease liabilities per IFRS 16 as of June 30, 2019 remained close to stable at Euro 63 million.

Confirming Guidance approaching the high end of the range on all metrics at currently prevailing exchange rates. Increasing industrial free cash flow target:
