Maranello (Italy), August 1, 2024 – Ferrari N.V. (NYSE/EXM: RACE) (“Ferrari” or the “Company”) today announces its consolidated preliminary results⁽²⁾ for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Shipments⁽³⁾⁽⁴⁾

 

 

Shipments totaled 3,484 units in Q2 2024, up 2.7% versus the prior year.

The Ferrari Purosangue, the Roma Spider and the 296 GTS drove deliveries in the quarter.

The allocations of the Daytona SP3 increased versus prior year, in line with plans.

The product portfolio in the quarter included eight internal combustion engine (ICE) models and four hybrid engine models, which represented 52% and 48% of total shipments, respectively.

 

Total net revenues

 

 

Net revenues for Q2 2024 were Euro 1,712 million, up 16.2% or 18.9% at constant currency⁽¹⁾.

Revenues from Cars and spare parts⁽⁷⁾ were Euro 1,474 million (up 17.1% or 20.2% at constant currency⁽¹⁾), thanks to a richer product and country mix, increased personalizations, as well as higher volumes.

Sponsorship, commercial and brand⁽⁸⁾ revenues reached Euro 168 million, up 13.8% or 14.8% at constant currency⁽¹⁾ attributable to new sponsorships and lifestyle activities.

Other⁽⁹⁾ revenues were almost flat driven by higher revenues from financial services activities, substantially offset by the decreased contribution from the Maserati contract which expired in 2023.

Currency – including translation and transaction impacts as well as foreign currency hedges – had a negative net impact of Euro 36 million, mostly related to the US Dollar, Japanese Yen and Chinese Yuan.

 

Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ and Adjusted EBIT⁽¹⁾

 

 

Q2 2024 Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ reached Euro 669 million, up 13.7% versus the prior year and with an Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ margin of 39.1%.

Q2 2024 Adjusted EBIT⁽¹⁾ was Euro 511 million, increased 17.0% versus the prior year and with an Adjusted EBIT⁽¹⁾ margin of 29.9%.

Volume was slightly positive (Euro 10 million), reflecting the shipments increase versus the prior year.

The Mix / price variance performance was very strong and positive (Euro 122 million), mainly reflecting the enrichment of the product mix, sustained by the Daytona SP3 and few sales of the 499P Modificata, increased personalizations and the positive country mix driven by Americas.

Industrial costs / research and development expenses were almost flat.

SG&A grew (Euro 23 million) mainly reflecting brand investments and the continuous development of the Company’s digital infrastructure and organization.

Other changes were almost flat, mainly driven by new sponsorships, partially offset by higher costs related to the better Formula 1 in-season ranking.

Financial charges, net for the quarter almost zeroed, compared to Euro 9 million of the prior year, primarily driven by positive net foreign exchange impact and increased interest income from the Group’s cash balance.

The tax rate⁽¹⁰⁾ in the quarter was 19.1%, mainly reflecting the estimate of the benefit attributable to the Patent Box and tax incentives for eligible research and development costs and investments.

As a result, the Adjusted Net profit⁽¹⁾ for the quarter was Euro 413 million, up 23.6% versus the prior year, and the Adjusted diluted earnings per share⁽¹⁾ for the quarter reached Euro 2.29, compared to Euro 1.83 in Q2 2023.

Industrial free cash flow⁽¹⁾ for the quarter was strong at Euro 121 million, driven by the increased Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾, partially offset by capital expenditures⁽¹¹⁾ of Euro 268 million, net cash interests and taxes for Euro 182 million and the increase in working capital, provisions and other for Euro 88 million.

Net Industrial Debt⁽¹⁾ as of June 30, 2024 was Euro 441 million, compared to a Net Industrial Cash⁽¹⁾ position of Euro 38 million as of March 31, 2024, also reflecting the dividend payment⁽¹²⁾ for Euro 440 million and share repurchases of Euro 148 million. As of June 30, 2024, total available liquidity was Euro 1,882 million (Euro 1,966 million as of March 31, 2024), including undrawn committed credit lines of Euro 550 million.

 

2024 guidance revised upward, based on the following assumptions for the year:

• Positive product and country mix, along with stronger personalizations
• Racing activities, including new sponsorships, impacted by lower Formula 1 ranking in 2023 despite higher number of races in the 2024 calendar
• Lifestyle activities expected to increase top line contribution while investing to accelerate development
• Cost inflation to persist
• Continuous brand investments and higher racing expenses
• Robust Industrial free cash flow generation, partially offset by increased capital expenditures and higher tax payment
