Ferrari Reports Strong First Quarter Results and Record Order Book

• Total shipments of 2,771 units, slightly up versus prior year
• Net revenues of Euro 1,011 million, up by 8.5%
• Confident to reach top end of the 2021 guidance range on the back of excellent results, robust net order intake as well as record order book at the end of Q1 2021
• 2022 financial targets postponed by one year due to Covid-19

Commenting on the results and the outlook, Chairman and Acting CEO John Elkann said: “This strong start augurs well for the rest of 2021 and is testimony to the resilience of our business model as well as the extraordinary work of the women and men of Ferrari. Looking ahead, we expect the prudent steps we took in 2020 and are continuing in 2021 to adjust our expenditure in response to the Covid-19 emergency, will postpone by one year the achievement of our year-end 2022 guidance. However, the robustness of our order book and the wonderful new models we will launch in the coming years provide a strong base on which to build our ambitious future.”

Shipments

Shipments totaled 2,771 units in the first quarter of 2021, up 33 units or 1.2% versus a strong prior year quarter despite the limited impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the core business.

Sales of 8 cylinder models (V8) were up 8.1%, while 12 cylinder models (V12) were down 19.6%. The deliveries of the quarter were driven by the F8 family and the 812 GTS. The SF90 Stradale and the Ferrari Roma remain in ramp up phase, while the 488 Pista family and the Ferrari Portofino have been phased out. The Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2 continued to be delivered in line with production planning.

Total net revenues

Net revenues for the first quarter 2021 were Euro 1,011 million, up 10.8% at constant currency₁. The increase in revenues from Cars and spare parts₆ to Euro 855 million (up 8.5% or 11.0% at constant currency₁) was generated mainly by the strong enrichment of the product mix.

Increased Sponsorship, commercial and brand₈ revenues (Euro 91 million, up 1.4% or 2.6% at constant currency₁) were attributable to an improved outlook for the Formula 1 calendar, partially offset by lower prior year ranking as well as reduced brand-related activities due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
