• Net revenues of Euro 3,766 million, up +10.1% or +8.2% at constant currency⁽¹⁾
• Adj. EBITDA⁽²⁾ of Euro 1,269 million, up +14.0% with an Adj. EBITDA margin of 33.7%
• Adj. diluted EPS⁽²⁾ of Euro 3.71 (+9.1%)

Maranello (Italy), February 4, 2020 – Ferrari N.V. (NYSE/MTA: RACE) (“Ferrari” or the “Company”) today announces its consolidated preliminary results⁽⁷⁾ for the fourth quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2019.

Shipments⁽⁸⁾⁽⁹⁾

Shipments totaled 10,131 units in 2019, up 880 units or +9.5% vs. prior year. This achievement was driven by an 11.2% increase in sales of 8 cylinder models (V8) and a 4.6% increase of 12 cylinder models (V12). Robust deliveries of the Ferrari Portofino and the 812 Superfast, along with the first deliveries of the F8 Tributo, the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2, were partially offset by lower volumes from the 488 family, with the 488 GTB and the 488 Spider concluding their lifecycle, partially compensated by the 488 Pista and the 488 Pista Spider.
Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan were up +20.3%, EMEA⁽⁹⁾ grew by +15.8%, Rest of APAC⁽⁹⁾ increased by +12.9%, while Americas⁽⁹⁾ was down -3.3%, reflecting the deliberate geographical rebalancing driven by product phase-in pace and waiting lists.

Total net revenues

Net revenues for 2019 increased to Euro 3.8 billion, up +10.1% and up +8.2% at constant currency⁽¹⁾. The increase of revenues in Cars and spare parts⁽¹⁰⁾ to Euro 2.9 billion (+15.4% or +13.4% at constant currency⁽¹⁾) was supported by volume increase of the 488 Pista and 488 Pista Spider, the Ferrari Portofino, the 812 Superfast and the initial deliveries of the F8 Tributo. Revenue growth was also supported by a positive contribution from the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2 as well as by personalization programs. This was partially offset by lower sales of the 488 GTB and the 488 Spider, as well as prior year shipments of LaFerrari Aperta and the Ferrari J50. Engines⁽¹¹⁾ revenues (Euro 198 million, -30.3% also at constant currency⁽¹⁾) continued to decline, reflecting lower shipments to Maserati. Sponsorship, commercial and brand⁽¹²⁾ revenues (Euro 538 million, +6.4% or +4.3% at constant currency⁽¹⁾) 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 64 million (mainly USD).

Adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾ and Adjusted EBIT⁽²⁾

2019 Adjusted EBIT⁽²⁾ was Euro 917 million, +11.2% or +5.1% at constant currency⁽¹⁾ due to higher volumes (Euro 99 million) and a positive Mix / price variance (Euro 78 million). The latter was attributable to the initial deliveries of the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2 and to the impact of the personalization programs, while it was partially offset by a negative range product mix as well as prior year shipments of LaFerrari Aperta and the Ferrari J50. Industrial costs / research and development costs increased (Euro 94 million), mainly due to product innovation activities and Formula 1, higher operational startup expenses in connection with the introduction of new models as well as higher depreciation and amortization of fixed assets. SG&A (up Euro 20 million) reflected new product launches and the Company’s organizational development. Other (down Euro 21 million) decreased due to lower engine sales to Maserati and other supporting activities.

Financial charges in the year increased to Euro 42 million, up Euro 19 million compared to 2018, also reflecting the cost of the cash tender offer on part of the euro bonds outstanding, executed in July.

The tax rate in the year was 20%, mainly attributable to the combined effects of Patent Box and the deduction related to the hyper and super-depreciation of fixed assets in accordance with tax regulation in Italy.

As a result of the items described above, Adjusted diluted earnings⁽²⁾ per share for the year reached Euro 3.71, up +9.1% vs. prior year.

Industrial free cash flow⁽²⁾ for the year ended December 31, 2019, was Euro 675 million, mainly driven by Adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾ and the positive impact on working capital generated by the collection of advances on the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2, partially offset by capital expenditures of Euro 706 million, financial charges and income taxes.

Net Industrial Debt^(2)(14) as of December 31, 2019, was Euro 337 million, compared to Euro 370 million as of December 31, 2018. During 2019, a total worth of Euro 387 million of share repurchases and Euro 195 million dividend distribution were accomplished. Lease liabilities per IFRS 16 as of December 31, 2019, were Euro 60 million.
