Net industrial debt(1)Confirming 2016 Outlook([2])
  • Net industrial debt(1) reduced to Euro 763 million, primarily due to strong industrial free cash flow(1)generation partially offset by cash distribution to holders of common shares and dividends paid to NCI

  • Net revenues: > Euro 3 billion
  • Adjusted EBITDA: ≥ Euro 800 million
  • Net industrial debt([3]): ≤ Euro 730 million
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, 2016.
Shipments

Shipments totaled 2,214 units in Q2 2016, up 8% from the previous year. 

This performance was driven by a 16% increase in sales of our 8 cylinder models (V8), led by the success of the two newly launched models: the 488 GTB and the 488 Spider. Shipments of the 12 cylinder models (V12) were down 22% due to the phase-out of the FF, the F12berlinetta now in its 5th year of commercialization and LaFerrari that finished its limited series run. This was partially offset by the introduction of the new F12tdf.
The EMEA([5]) and Greater China(5) regions experienced a sound year-on-year growth with shipments increasing respectively by +14% and +26%, Americas(5) recorded a slight  improvement whereas Rest of APAC(5) remained in line with the previous year due to 488 Spider and F12tdf having just arrived on the market.
Total net revenues

Net revenues for Q2 2016 were Euro 811 million, an increase of Euro 45 million or 5.9% (+6.2% at constant currencies) from Q2 2015. Higher net revenues in Cars and spare parts(6) (Euro 589 million, +2%) were due to increased volumes led by new models 488 GTB, 488 Spider,F12tdf, the non-registered car FXX K and the final deliveries of the F60 America, a strictly limited edition car, along with a higher contribution from personalization, which was partially offset by lower sales of LaFerrari. The rebound in Engines(7) (Euro 71 million, +24%), was mainly attributable to higher rental revenues from other Formula 1 Teams. Sponsorship, commercial and brand(8)(Euro 117 million, +14%) was up mostly due to better championship ranking, higher sponsorship revenues and positive contribution from brand related activities.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) and Adjusted EBIT(1)
pic
Adjusted EBIT(1) was Euro 156 million, up Euro 32 million (+26%) from Q2 2015 as a result of higher volumes, thanks to the newly launched 488 GTB, 488 Spider and the F12tdf as well as a positive margin contribution from our personalization programs. Mix was negatively impacted (Euro 25 million) by higher V8 versus V12 range models with LaFerrari that finished its limited series run, partially offset by the non-registered car FXX K and the final deliveries of the F60 America, a strictly limited edition car (only ten units) manufactured to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of Ferrari in North America. Research and development costs and industrial costs showed a decrease of Euro 11 million mainly due to lower D&A for the 458 family and LaFerrari phase-out coupled with efficiencies on production costs partially offset by F1 costs. The Selling, general and administrative costs([10])were substantially in line with the previous year as the combined result of new store openings, new model launches and corporate costs offset by bad debt in Q2 2015. Other recorded a positive contribution of Euro 14 million thanks to Sponsorship, commercial and brand as well as other supporting activities.
Adjusted EBIT(1) excludes charges of Euro 10 million due to the worldwide Takata airbag inflator recalls([11]).
Tax rate dropped to 30.7% in Q2 2016 vs. 33.5% in Q2 2015 as a result of the Italian Government’s decision to reduce the nominal tax rate from 27.5% to 24% by 2017.
As a result of the items described above, adjusted net profit(1) for Q2 2016 was Euro 104 million, up Euro 26 million (+35%).
Industrial free cash flow(1) for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was Euro 145 million, primarily driven by a strong increase in cash flow from operating activities, including a positive change of working capital and timing effect of advances on the new open-top LaFerrari, partially offset by capex and the first 2016 tax advance. Q2 2015 industrial free cash flow(1) included a Euro 116 million one-time cash in-flow related to the final reimbursement by Maserati of its inventory in China.
Net industrial debt(1) at June 30, 2016 was Euro 763 million, better than from Euro 782 million at March 31, 2016, thanks to industrial free cash flow(1) generation offset by cash distribution for Euro 87 million paid to the holders of common shares and Euro 13 million dividends paid to NCI.
The open-top LaFerrari: the new special limited-edition series
On July 5th, 2016 Ferrari unveiled the first images of the open-top LaFerrari, the new limited-edition special series. The new model, already pre-sold, will be presented during the Paris International Motor Show in October 2016. The open-top LaFerrari will be provided with a removable carbon-fiber hard top and a removable soft top aimed at customers and collectors who refuse to compromise on the joy of plein air driving even when at the wheel of a supercar.

Subsequent Events

Ferrari N.V. (NYSE/MTA: RACE) (“Ferrari” or the “Company”) today announces its consolidated net revenues and preliminary results[3] for the fourth quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2015. 

Shipments totaled 7,664 units in 2015, up 6% from the previous year. This performance was driven by a 17% increase in sales of our 8 cylinder models (V8), led by California T, 458 Speciale A and the newly launched 488 GTB. Shipments of the 12 cylinder models (V12) were down 24% as the F12berlinetta and the FF are respectively in their 4th and 5th year of commercialization, and the F12tdf shipments started in December 2015.
EMEA4, Americas4 and Rest of APAC[4] experienced sound year-on-year growth of 2%, 7% and 26% respectively. Greater China4 contracted by 10% year-on-year, but showed a +7% upturn for the three months ended December 31, 2015, thanks to the introduction of the 488 GTB.
Net revenues for FY 2015 were Euro 2,854 million, an increase of Euro 92 million or 3% (-3% at constant currencies) from FY 2014. Higher net revenues in Cars and spare parts[5] (Euro 136 million, +7%) were partially offset by a decrease in Engines[6] (Euro 92 million, -30%).
Adjusted EBIT1 was Euro 473 million, up Euro 69 million (+17%) from FY 2014. This was the effect of higher volumes for the California T, 458 Speciale A, the newly launched 488 GTB and a positive margin contribution from our personalization programs. 
The increase was also supported by a positive foreign exchange contribution of Euro 41 million, mainly due to U.S. dollar and Great Britain pound appreciation and partially offset by Japanese yen. The mix effect had a slightly negative contribution of Euro 6 million due to the higher proportion of V8 versus V12 in FY 2015 compared to FY 2014. Selling, general and administrative costs[7]grew by Euro 15 million due to our continued focus on directly operated retail stores, corporate costs and F1 racing activities. 
Research and development costs and industrial costs increased by Euro 3 million attributable to the 2016 development of the power unit for F1 racing activity partially offset by a lower R&D on road cars (primarily R&D and product D&A of 458 family) and efficiencies on production costs.
As a result of the items described above, net profit for FY 2015 was Euro 290 million, up Euro 25 million (+9%).   
Free Cash Flow1 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 was Euro 390 million, primarily driven by a strong increase in cash from operating activities. Free Cash Flow1included the following one-time cash inflows: the sale of investment properties; the reimbursement of the financing of inventory related to the establishment of the Maserati standalone business in China; and the sale of the financial assets portfolios of certain Financial Services Companies (FFS S.p.A. and FFS KK) in connection with the additional steps taken to maximize the effects of our cooperation agreements in Europe and in Japan; partially offset by the one-time extra bonus payment in December to all Ferrari employees.
Net Debt1 at December 31, 2015 was Euro 1,938 million, compared to a Net Cash1position of Euro 566 million at December 31, 2014. This was a result of the capital reorganization in connection with our IPO and the spin-off from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. (FCA), partially offset by the strong Free Cash Flow1generation.
2016 Outlook
The Group indicates the following guidance for 2016, assuming FX consistent with current market conditions:
  • Shipments: ˜7,900 including supercars
  • Net revenues: >Euro 2.9 billion
