NOTE ON PRESENTATION

Basis of Preparation of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

As explained in Note 1 to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, on October 29, 2014, FCA announced its intention to separate Ferrari S.p.A. from FCA (the “Separation”). The Separation occurred through a series of transactions including (i) an intra-group restructuring that resulted in our acquisition of the assets and business of Ferrari North Europe Limited and the transfer by FCA of its 90 percent shareholding in Ferrari S.p.A. to us, (ii) the transfer of Piero Ferrari’s 10 percent shareholding in Ferrari S.p.A. to us, (iii) the initial public offering of our common shares, and (iv) the distribution, following the initial public offering, of FCA’s remaining interest in us to its shareholders. The transactions referred to in (i) and (ii), which are defined in Note 1 of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as the “Restructuring”, were completed in October 2015 and have been accounted for in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as though they had occurred effective January 1, 2015. The initial public offering of our common shares was completed on October 21, 2015 when our shares were admitted to listing on the New York Stock Exchange, as a result of which FCA had 80 percent ownership. The remaining steps of the Separation were completed between January 1 and January 3, 2016, through two consecutive demergers followed by a merger under Dutch law. As part of the Separation, a new entity, FE New N.V., was created. Pursuant to the demergers the shares in Ferrari N.V. held by FCA were ultimately transferred to FE New N.V., with FE New N.V. issuing shares in its capital to the shareholders of FCA. In connection with the demergers, the mandatory convertible security holders of FCA also received shares in FE New N.V. On completion of the Separation, Ferrari N.V. was merged with and into FE New N.V. and FE New N.V. was renamed Ferrari N.V.

This interim report refers to Ferrari N.V. (formerly named FE New N.V.) following the Separation and to Ferrari N.V.'s predecessor (formerly named New Business Netherlands N.V.), prior to the completion of the Separation.

Forward-Looking Statements
This report, and in particular the section entitled “Outlook”, contains forward-looking statements. These are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain information included in this presentation, including, without limitation, any forecasts included herein, is forward looking and is subject to important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially.

Ferrari’s business includes luxury performance sports cars, brand and Formula 1 racing activities. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. These factors include, without limitation:

The ability to preserve and enhance the value of the Ferrari brand; the ability to keep up with advances in high performance car technology and to make appealing designs for our new models; the success of our Formula 1 racing team and the expenses we incur for our Formula 1 activities; increases in costs, disruptions of supply or shortages of components and raw materials; our low volume strategy; changes in client preferences and automotive trends; changes in the general economic environment and changes in demand in the automobile industry, which is highly volatile; the impact of increasingly stringent fuel economy, emission and safety standards, including the cost of compliance, and any required changes to our products; the ability to successfully carry out the growth strategy and, particularly, the ability to grow the Ferrari presence in emerging market countries; competition in the luxury automobile industry; the performance of the dealer network on which Ferrari depends for sales and services; disruption at the manufacturing facilities in Maranello and Modena; the ability to provide or arrange for adequate access to financing for our dealers and clients, and associated risks; the performance of the licensees for Ferrari-branded products; the ability to protect the Ferrari intellectual property rights and to avoid infringing on the intellectual property rights of others; product recalls, liability claims and product warranties; labor relations and collective bargaining agreements; and exchange rate fluctuations, interest rate changes, credit risk and other market risks.

Any of the assumptions underlying this presentation or any of the circumstances or data mentioned in this presentation may change. Any forward-looking statements contained in this presentation speak only as of the date of this presentation. We expressly disclaim a duty to provide updates to any forward-looking statements. Ferrari does not assume and expressly disclaims any liability in connection with any inaccuracies in any of these forward-looking statements or in connection with any use by any third party of such forward-looking statements. This presentation does not represent investment advice or a recommendation for the purchase or sale of financial products and/or of any kind of financial services. Finally, this presentation does not represent an investment solicitation in Italy, pursuant to Section 1, letter (t) of Legislative Decree no. 58 of February 24, 1998, as amended, nor does it represent a similar solicitation as contemplated by the laws in any other country or state.

Additional unaudited information supplementing this section is available from the “Investors” area of the Ferrari website (www.ferrari.com).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We monitor and evaluate our operating and financial performance using several non-GAAP financial measures including: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted Basic and Diluted Earnings per Common Share, Net Debt, Net Industrial Debt, Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities, as well as a number of financial metrics measured on a constant currency basis. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful and relevant information regarding our performance and our ability to assess our financial performance and financial position. They also provide us with comparable measures that facilitate management’s ability to identify operational trends, as well as make decisions regarding future spending, resource allocations and other operational decisions. While similar measures are widely used in the industry in which we operate, the financial measures we use may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies nor are they intended to be substitutes for measures of financial performance or financial position as prepared in accordance with IFRS.

5



EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA is defined as net profit before income tax expense, net financial expenses/(income) and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA as adjusted for income and costs, which are significant in nature, but expected to occur infrequently. The following table sets forth the calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, and provides a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to net profit. EBITDA is presented by management to aid investors in their analysis of the performance of the Group and to assist investors in the comparison of the Group’s performance with that of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is presented to demonstrate how the underlying business has performed prior to the impact of the adjusted items, which may obscure underlying performance and impair comparability of results between periods.

Net Debt and Net Industrial Debt    
Net Industrial Debt, defined as Net Debt excluding the funded portion of the self-liquidating financial receivables portfolio, is the primary measure used by us to analyze our financial leverage and capital structure, and is one of the key indicators used to measure our financial position. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Net Debt and Net Industrial Debt at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities
    
Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities are two of our primary key performance indicators to measure the Group’s performance. Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash generated from operations less cash flows used in investing activities. Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities is defined as Free Cash Flow adjusted for the change in the self-liquidating financial receivables portfolio. The following table sets forth our Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

Constant Currency Information

The “Results of Operations” discussion below includes information about our net revenues on a constant currency basis. We use this information to assess how the underlying business has performed independent of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We calculate constant currency by applying the prior-period average foreign currency exchange rates to current period financial data expressed in local currency in which the relevant financial statements are denominated, in order to eliminate the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations (see Note 5 “Other Information” to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Interim Report, for information on the foreign currency exchange rates applied). Although we do not believe that these measures are a substitute for GAAP measures, we do believe that such results excluding the impact of currency fluctuations year-on-year provide additional useful information to investors regarding the operating performance on a local currency basis. For example, if a U.S. entity with a U.S. Dollar functional currency recorded net revenues of $100 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we would have reported €91 million in net revenues (using the three months ended March 31, 2016 average exchange rate of 1.1022) or a €2 million increase over the €89 million reported for the three months ended March 31, 2015 (using the three months ended March 31, 2015 average exchange rate of 1.1261). The constant currency presentation would translate the three months ended March 31, 2016 net revenues using the three months ended March 31, 2015 foreign currency exchange rates, and therefore indicate that the underlying net revenues on a constant currency basis were unchanged period-on-period.

Includes the net revenues generated from shipments of our cars, including any personalization revenue generated on these cars and sales of spare parts.

Includes the net revenues generated from the sale of engines to Maserati for use in their cars, and the revenues generated from the rental of engines to other Formula 1 racing teams.
(3)
Includes the net revenues earned by our Formula 1 racing team through sponsorship agreements and our share of the Formula 1 World Championship commercial revenues and net revenues generated through the Ferrari brand, including merchandising, licensing and royalty income.
(4)
Primarily includes interest income generated by the Ferrari Financial Services group and net revenues from the management of the Mugello racetrack.

Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were €675 million, an increase of €54 million, or 8.8 percent (an increase of 8.4 percent on a constant currency basis), from €621 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
Cars and spare parts
Net revenues generated from cars and spare parts were €481 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, an increase of €52 million, or 12.1 percent, from €429 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was attributable to a €60 million increase in net revenues from range and special series cars and spare parts, which was partially offset by a decrease in net revenues from supercars and limited edition cars.

The €60 million increase in net revenues from range and special series cars and spare parts was principally attributable to an increase in shipments of approximately 260 cars, excluding the LaFerrari. In particular, shipments of V8 models increased

8



by 21.2 percent, driven by the 488 GTB and the 488 Spider, which were launched in March 2015 and September 2015, respectively, as well as the continued strong performance of the California T and an increase in net revenues from our personalization program. The proportion of V12 models decreased by 1.7 percent, primarily attributable to decreases in shipments due to the phase out of the FF and the F12berlinetta at its 5th year of commercialization, partially offset by shipments of the newly launched F12tdf, which commenced in Q4 2015.

The €60 million increase in net revenues from range and special series cars and spare parts was composed of (i) a €43 million increase in EMEA, (ii) a €8 million increase in Americas, (iii) a €5 million increase in Greater China and (iv) a €4 million increase in Rest of APAC.
    
The €43 million increase in EMEA net revenues was primarily due to a €15 million increase in Germany, a €9 million increase in Other EMEA, a €7 million increase in France and a €6 million increase in Italy. In particular, shipments increased by 75.3 percent in Germany, 36.7 percent in Other EMEA, 38.2 percent in France and 62.0 percent in Italy. The increases in shipments were primarily driven by the 488GTB, the 488 Spider, the California T and the F12tdf. These increases were partially offset by the phase out of the 458 Italia and 458 Spider in 2015.

The €8 million increase in Americas net revenues was attributable to an increase in shipments, driven by the 488 GTB and the California T, and positive foreign currency exchange impact, partially offset by unfavorable product mix.

The €5 million increase in Greater China net revenues was primarily attributable to an increase in shipments in mainland China, driven by the 488 GTB, partially offset by unfavorable product mix.

The €4 million increase in Rest of APAC net revenues was attributable to a €3 million increase in other Rest of APAC and a €2 million increase in Australia, partially offset by a €1 million decrease in Japan. The €3 million increase in other Rest of APAC and €2 million increase in Australia were mainly driven by increases in shipments of 53.3 percent and 16.0 percent, respectively.

The decrease in net revenues from supercars and limited edition cars was primarily driven by a decrease in shipments of the LaFerrari, which is finishing its limited series run, partially offset by shipments of the FXX K and the first deliveries of the F60 America, our V12 open air roadster that commemorates 60 years in the United States.

Engines

Net revenues generated from engines were €57 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, a decrease of €7 million, or 10.3 percent, from €64 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The €7 million decrease was attributable to a €22 million decrease in net revenues generated from the sale of engines to Maserati, driven by a 38.0 percent decrease in the volume of engines shipped in accordance with the planned orders received from Maserati, partially offset by an increase in net revenues generated from the rental of power units to Formula 1 teams that was primarily driven by the rental of power units to three Formula 1 teams for the 2016 season compared to two Formula 1 teams for the 2015 season.

Sponsorship, commercial and brand

Net revenues generated from sponsorship, commercial agreements and brand management activities were €118 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, an increase of €9 million, or 8.1 percent, from €109 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was primarily related to our participation in the Formula 1 World Championship and in particular as a result of our improved ranking in the World Constructor's Championship.

Other

Other net revenues of €19 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the three months ended March 31, 2015 primarily related to supporting activities, including interest income generated by our financial services activities.

As a percentage of net revenues, cost of sales was 49.3 percent for both the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Selling, general and administrative costs for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were €60 million, a decrease of €5 million, or 7.1 percent, from €65 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. As a percentage of net revenues, selling, general and administrative costs were 8.9 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to 10.5 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

The decrease in selling, general and administrative costs was attributable to (i) the impact of consultancy costs incurred in 2015 in relation to the initial public offering of €4 million and (ii) a decrease in costs due to one less Formula 1 race in the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to three months ended March 31, 2015, which were partially offset by costs incurred in relation to new directly operated stores opened in the second half of 2015.

EBIT for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was €121 million, an increase of €25 million, or 26.3 percent, from €96 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

The increase in EBIT was due to (i) favorable volume impact of €25 million, (ii) a decrease in selling, general and administrative costs of €5 million, and (iii) decreased costs related to supporting activities, including financial services, of €7 million, which were partially offset by (iv) unfavorable product mix impact of €8 million, and (v) an increase in research and development costs of €4 million.

The positive volume impact of €25 million was attributable to an increase in shipments of approximately 260 cars, excluding the LaFerrari, driven by the 488 GTB, the 488 Spider and the F12tdf, all of which were launched in 2015, as well as the continued strong performance of the California T and a positive contribution from the personalization program. The unfavorable product mix impact of €8 million reflects an increase in the proportion of V8 models shipped compared to V12 models, driven by the LaFerrari which is finishing its limited series run, the phase out of the FF and the F12berlinetta at its 5th year of commercialization, partially offset by an increase in shipments of the FXX K and the first deliveries of the F60 America, our V12 open air roadster that commemorates 60 years in the United States.

Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was €34 million, an increase of €1 million, or 5.7 percent, from €33 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in profit before tax, partially offset by the reversal of deferred taxes due to reduction in the Italian tax rate net of Italian Regional Income Tax ("IRAP") from 27.5% to 24% by 2017.

The effective tax rate net of IRAP was 26.1 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2016, a decrease of 2.1 percent from 28.2 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity Overview

We require liquidity in order to meet our obligations and fund our business. Short-term liquidity is required to purchase raw materials, parts and components for car production, and to fund selling, administrative, research and development, and other expenses. In addition to our general working capital and operational needs, we expect to use cash for capital expenditures to support our existing and future products. We make capital investments mainly in Italy, for initiatives to introduce new products, enhance manufacturing efficiency, improve capacity, and for maintenance and environmental compliance. Our capital expenditures in 2016 are expected to be between €320 million to €370 million, which we plan to fund primarily with cash generated from our operating activities.

Our business and results of operations depend on our ability to achieve certain minimum car shipment volumes. We have significant fixed costs and therefore, changes in our car shipment volumes can have a significant effect on profitability and liquidity. We have historically managed our liquidity through participating in cash management and funding services provided by the treasury functions of the FCA Group. Following the Separation on January 3, 2016, we terminated such arrangements and manage our liquidity and cash flow requirements on a standalone basis. We believe that our cash generation together with our current liquidity will be sufficient to meet our obligations and fund our business and capital expenditures.

See the “Net Debt and Net Industrial Debt” section below for further details relating to the Company's liquidity, including the issuance of a bond and performance of a securitization program in the three months ended March 31, 2016.    

Cyclical Nature of Our Cash Flows

Our working capital is subject to month to month fluctuations due to, among others, production volumes, activity of our financial services portfolio, timing of tax payments and capital expenditure. In particular, our inventory levels increase in the periods leading up to launches of new models, during the phase out of prior models and at the end of the second quarter when our inventory levels are higher to support the summer plant shutdown. The expansion of our financial services portfolio, particularly in the United States, has increased our working capital requirements.

The payment of taxes also affects our working capital. Historically, as part of the FCA Group tax consolidation, a substantial portion of our taxes were paid in the fourth quarter of the year and a smaller portion in the third quarter. In 2016 our tax payments will be higher as it will be our first year as a standalone tax group. We settle our taxes in two instalments, in 2016 the most substantial payment will be made in the fourth quarter and we have the option to make the other payment either at the end of the second quarter or the beginning of the third quarter. From 2017 we expect to pay the taxes in equal instalments in the fourth quarter and either the end of the second quarter or the beginning of the third quarter.

Finally, our capital expenditure requirements are, among others, influenced by the timing of the launch of new models and, in particular, our development costs peak in periods when we develop a significant number of new models to renew or refresh our product range.


12



We tend to generally receive payment for cars (other than those for which we provide dealer financing) between 30 and 40 days after the car is shipped while we tend to pay most suppliers between 90 and 105 days after we receive the raw materials or components. We maintain sufficient inventory of raw materials and components to ensure continuity of our production lines but delivery of most raw materials and components takes place monthly or more frequently in order to minimize inventories. The manufacture of one of our cars typically takes between 30 and 42 days, depending on the level of automation of the relevant production line, and the car is generally shipped to our dealers three to six days following the completion of production, although to ensure prompt deliveries in certain regions we may warehouse cars in local markets for longer periods of time. As a result, we tend to receive payment for cars shipped before we are required to make payment for the raw material and components used in manufacturing the cars.

Our capital expenditures in intangible assets were €42 million and €39 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, the most significant component of which relates to externally acquired and internally generated development costs and information technologies costs. In particular, we make such investments to support the development of our current and future product offering. The capitalized development costs primarily include materials costs and personnel expenses relating to engineering, design and development focused on content enhancement of existing cars and new models. We constantly invest in product development to ensure we can quickly and efficiently respond to market demand and/or technological breakthroughs and in order to maintain our position at the top of the performance and luxury sports car market.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents of €563 million at March 31, 2016 (€183 million at December 31, 2015) are denominated in various currencies and available mostly to certain subsidiaries which operate in areas other than the United States and Europe. Cash held in such countries may be subject to transfer restrictions depending on the jurisdictions in which these subsidiaries operate. In particular, cash held in China amounting to €99 million at March 31, 2016 (€106 million at December 31, 2015), is subject to certain repatriation restrictions (and may only be repatriated as dividends). Based on our review, we do not believe such transfer restrictions have an adverse impact on our ability to meet our liquidity requirements at the dates represented above.

The increase in cash was mainly attributable to the revolving securitization program performed by Ferrari Financial Services Inc in the United States that resulted in proceeds net of repayments for the period of €202 million (which were primarily used for the repayment of intercompany loans to Ferrari N.V. and Ferrari S.p.A.) and the settlement of deposits in FCA Group cash management pools for proceeds of €139 million.
 
Deposits in FCA Group cash management pools

Deposits in FCA Group cash management pools related to our participation in a group-wide cash management system at FCA prior to the Separation, where the operating cash management, main funding operations and liquidity investment of the Group were centrally coordinated by dedicated treasury companies with the objective of ensuring effective and efficient management of our funds. We accessed funds deposited in these accounts on a daily basis and had the contractual right to withdraw our funds on demand and terminate the cash management arrangements depending on FCA's ability to pay at the relevant time. The carrying value of deposits in FCA Group cash management pools approximates fair value based on the short maturity of these investments. Of the total €139 million of deposits in FCA Group cash management pools at December 31, 2015, €119 million was denominated in Euro and €20 million in U.S. Dollars. These arrangements were terminated in connection with the Separation, which was completed on January 3, 2016, and amounts on deposit were paid back to Ferrari in January 2016.

Total available liquidity
    
Total available liquidity (defined as cash and cash equivalents plus deposits in FCA Group cash management pools
plus undrawn committed credit lines) at March 31, 2016 was €1,063 million (€822 million at December 31, 2015).

The increase in total available liquidity reflects an increase in cash and cash equivalents, primarily the result of the previously mentioned proceeds net of repayments from the revolving securitization program in the United States and the settlement of deposits in FCA Group cash management pools (see “Cash and cash equivalents”). The settlement of the FCA Group cash management pools reflects the termination of these arrangements in connection with the Separation, which was completed on January 3, 2016. The undrawn committed credit lines relates to a revolving credit facility. See “The Facility” below for further details.



17



The Facility
    
On November 30, 2015, the Company, as borrower and guarantor, and certain other members of the Group, as borrowers, entered into a €2.5 billion facility with a syndicate of ten banks (the “Facility”). The Facility comprises a bridge loan of €500 million (the “Bridge Loan”), a term loan of €1,500 million (the “Term Loan”) and a revolving credit facility of €500 million (the “RCF”).

In December 2015 the Bridge Loan and Term Loan were fully drawn down for the purposes of repaying financial liabilities with FCA, including the FCA Note that originated as a result of the Restructuring. At December 31, 2015, the Bridge Loan was fully drawn down by the Company, whilst €1,425 million of the Term Loan was drawn down by the Company and the remaining €75 million was drawn down by Ferrari Financial Services Inc.

In March 2016 the Bridge Loan was subsequently fully repaid using the proceeds from the bond (see “Bond” below), whilst the Term Loan remained fully drawn down at March 31, 2016.

At March 31, 2016 and at December 31, 2015 the RCF was undrawn. Proceeds of the RCF may be used from time to time for general corporate and working capital purposes of the Group.

Other borrowings from banks
    
Other borrowings from banks mainly relate to financial liabilities of Ferrari Financial Services Inc to support the financial services operations and in particular (i) a $150 million U.S. Dollar denominated credit facility, which bears interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus a spread of 110 basis points, that was renewed in January 2016 for a further 18 months; (ii) a $100 million term loan that was entered into on November 17, 2015, the proceeds of which were used to repay financial liabilities with FCA in the United States. This facility bears interest at a fixed rate and matures in December 2016. Other borrowings from banks also include €20 million relating to various short and medium-term credit facilities.
        
Bond

On March 16, 2016, the Company issued a 1.5 percent coupon bond due 2023, having a principal of €500 million. The bond was issued at a discount for an issue price of 98.977 percent, resulting in net proceeds of €490.7 million after the debt discount and issuance costs. The net proceeds were used, together with additional cash held by the Company, to fully repay the €500 million Bridge Loan under the Facility. The bond is unrated and was admitted to trading on the regulated market of the Irish Stock Exchange.

Securitization

On January 19, 2016, Ferrari Financial Services Inc. (“FFS Inc”) performed a revolving securitization program for funding of up to $250 million by pledging retail financial receivables in the United States as collateral. The notes bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the aggregate of LIBOR plus a margin of 75 basis points.
At March 31, 2016, the liability under the securitization program amounted to $220 million (€195 million).
The securitization agreement requires the maintenance of an interest rate cap at 1.9 percent. At March 31, 2016, the fair value of the interest rate cap amounted to $67 thousand (€59 thousand) and is recorded within current financial assets.
Other debt

Other debt mainly relates to the financial activities.

Financial liabilities with FCA Group

Financial liabilities with FCA Group were fully settled upon completion of the Separation on January 3, 2016 (€3 million at December 31, 2015).

Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities

Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities are two of our primary key performance indicators to measure the Group’s performance. Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash generated from operations less cash flows used in investing activities. Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities is defined as Free Cash Flow adjusted for the change in the self-liquidating financial receivables portfolio. The following table sets forth our Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was €28 million, a decrease from €35 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities was primarily attributable to the impact in 2015 of the one-time partial reimbursement of the financing of inventory related to the establishment of the Maserati standalone business in China of €44 million.

Excluding this one-time effect in 2015, Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities in 2016 of €28 million would have represented an increase of €37 million compared to Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities in 2015 of negative 9 million. This increase is mainly attributable to an increase in EBITDA, improvements in net working capital and a reduction in capital expenditures.

2016 Revised Outlook
Shipments: >7,900 including supercars
Net revenues: ~€3 billion
Adjusted EBITDA: ≥€800 million
Net Industrial Debt ≤€730 million, including distribution to shareholders

1. BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PREPARATION
    
Background

Ferrari is among the world’s leading luxury brands. The activities of Ferrari N.V. (herein referred to as “Ferrari” or the “Company” and together with its subsidiaries the “Group”) and its subsidiaries are focused on the design, engineering, production and sale of luxury performance sports cars. The cars are designed, engineered and produced in Maranello and Modena, Italy and sold in more than 60 markets worldwide through a network of 175 independent dealers. The Ferrari brand is licensed to a selected number of producers and retailers of luxury and lifestyle goods, with Ferrari branded merchandise also sold through a network of 38 Ferrari stores and the Group's website. To facilitate the sale of new and used cars, the Group provides various forms of financing, through financial services entities, to both clients and dealers. Ferrari also participates in the Formula 1 World Championship through Scuderia Ferrari. The activities of Scuderia Ferrari are the core element of Ferrari marketing and promotion activities and an important source of innovation supporting the technological advancement of Ferrari sport and street cars.
On October 29, 2014, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. (“FCA”) announced its intention to separate Ferrari S.p.A. from FCA. The separation was completed on January 3, 2016 and occurred through a series of transactions (together defined as the “Separation”) including (i) an intra-group restructuring which resulted in the Company’s acquisition of the assets and business of Ferrari North Europe Limited and the transfer by FCA of its 90 percent shareholding in Ferrari S.p.A. to the Company, (ii) the transfer of Piero Ferrari’s 10 percent shareholding in Ferrari S.p.A. to the Company, (iii) the initial public offering of common shares of the Company, and (iv) the distribution, following the initial public offering, of FCA’s remaining interest in the Company to its shareholders. After the Separation, which took place on January 3, 2016, Ferrari operates as an independent, publicly traded company. On January 4, 2016, the Company's shares were also listed on the Mercato Telematico Azionario, the stock exchange managed by Borsa Italiana.
The transactions described above in (i) and (ii) (referred to collectively as the “Restructuring”) were completed in October 2015 through the following steps:
The Company acquired from Ferrari North Europe Limited its assets and business of providing sales, after-sales and support services for the Ferrari brand and in exchange, the Company issued to Ferrari North Europe Limited a note in the principal amount of £2.8 million (the “FNE Note”).

FCA transferred to the Company all of the issued and outstanding share capital that it previously held in Ferrari S.p.A. (representing 90 percent of the share capital of Ferrari S.p.A.), and in exchange the Company issued to FCA a note in the principal amount of €7.9 billion (the “FCA Note”).

FCA contributed €5.1 billion to the Company in consideration of the issue to FCA of 156,917,727 common shares and 161,917,727 special voting shares of the Company. Following a subsequent transaction with Piero Ferrari, FCA owned 170,029,440 common shares and special voting shares, equal to 90 percent of the Company’s common shares outstanding. €5.1 billion of the proceeds received from FCA were applied to settle a portion of the FCA Note, following which the principal outstanding on the FCA Note was €2.8 billion, which was refinanced through cash deposits held with FCA and for the remainder from new third party debt.

Piero Ferrari transferred his 10 percent interest in Ferrari S.p.A. to the Company and in exchange, the Company issued to Piero Ferrari 27,003,873 of its common shares and the same number of special voting shares. Following a subsequent transaction with FCA, Piero Ferrari owns 18,892,160 common shares and special voting shares, equal to 10 percent of the Company’s common shares outstanding. The Company did not receive any cash consideration as part of this transaction.

The Restructuring comprised: (i) a capital reorganization of the group under the Company, which has been accounted for in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements (the “Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”)as though it had occurred effective January 1, 2015 using FCA’s basis of accounting (see Note 20 “Equity”), and (ii) the issuance of the FCA Note, which has been reflected in these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements only from the date in which it occurred (see Note 22 “Debt”).

F-6



The remaining steps of the Separation, which were completed between January 1 and January 3, 2016 through two consecutive demergers followed by a merger under Dutch law, have been reflected in these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements only from the date in which the related transactions occurred and had no impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. As part of the Separation a new entity, FE New N.V., was created. Pursuant to the demergers the shares in the Company held by FCA were ultimately transferred to FE New N.V., with FE New N.V. issuing shares in its capital to the shareholders of FCA. In connection with the demergers, the mandatory convertible security holders of FCA also received shares in FE New N.V. On completion of the Separation the Company was merged with and into FE New N.V. and FE New N.V. was renamed Ferrari N.V.
Following the Separation and at March 31, 2016, the share capital of the Company amounted to €2,504 thousand, comprising 193,923,499 common shares and 56,497,618 special voting shares all with nominal value of €0.01 per share. At March 31, 2016, Ferrari N.V. had 5,000,000 common shares and 2,922 special voting shares held in treasury.
Also following the Separation, the cash pooling and financial liabilities with the FCA Group were settled and the relevant agreements were terminated. The derivative contracts that were previously held by FCA were novated to Ferrari S.p.A.
Following the completion of the Separation, on January 4, 2016 the Company also completed the listing of its common shares on the Mercato Telematico Azionario, the stock exchange managed by Borsa Italiana, under the ticker symbol RACE.
References to the company in these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements refer to Ferrari N.V. (formerly named FE New N.V.) following the Separation and to Ferrari N.V.'s predecessor (formerly named New Business Netherlands N.V.), prior to the completion of the Separation.

2. AUTHORIZATION OF INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS
    
These Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Ferrari N.V. were authorized for issuance on May 6, 2016, and have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Group’s consolidated financial statements at and for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the “Consolidated Financial Statements”), which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and IFRS as endorsed by the European Union. The designation IFRS also includes International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) as well as all the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC” and “SIC”). The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those used at December 31, 2015, except as described in the following paragraph “New standards and amendments effective from January 1, 2016.”


3. BASIS OF PREPARATION FOR INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    
The preparation of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities. If in the future such estimates and assumptions, which are based on management’s best judgment at the date of these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, deviate from the actual circumstances, the original estimates and assumptions will be modified as appropriate in the period in which the circumstances change. Reference should be made to the section “Use of estimates” in the Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed description of the more significant valuation procedures used by the Group.
    
Moreover, in accordance with IAS 34, certain valuation procedures, in particular those of a more complex nature regarding matters such as any impairment of non-current assets, are only carried out in full during the preparation of the annual financial statements, when all the information required is available, other than in the event that there are indications of impairment, when an immediate assessment is necessary. In the same way, the actuarial valuations that are required for the determination of employee benefit provisions are also usually carried out during the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements, unless in the event of significant market fluctuation, plan amendments or curtailments and settlements.
    
The recognition of income taxes is based upon the best estimate of the actual tax rate expected for the full financial year for each entity included in the scope of consolidation.
    

F-7



The Group’s presentation currency is Euro, which is also the functional currency of the Company, and unless otherwise stated information is presented in thousands of Euro.
    
Format of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
    
The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the interim consolidated income statement, interim consolidated statement of comprehensive income, interim consolidated statement of financial position, interim consolidated statement of cash flows, interim consolidated statement of changes in equity and notes thereto.
    
New standards and amendments effective from January 1, 2016
    
The following new standards and amendments that are applicable from January 1, 2016 were adopted by the Group for the preparation of these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Group adopted the amendments to IFRS 11 - Joint Arrangements, which clarify the accounting for acquisitions of interests in a joint operation that constitutes a business. There was no effect from the adoption of these amendments.

The Group adopted the amendments to IAS 16 - Property, Plant and Equipment and to IAS 38 - Intangible Assets, which clarify that the use of revenue-based methods to calculate the depreciation of an asset is not appropriate because revenue generated by an activity that includes the use of an asset generally reflects factors other than the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in the asset. The amendments also clarify that revenue is generally presumed to be an inappropriate basis for measuring the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in an intangible asset. This presumption, however, can be rebutted in certain limited circumstances. There was no effect from the adoption of these amendments.

The Group adopted the Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012-2014 Cycle, a series of amendments to IFRS in response to issues raised mainly on, among others, the changes of method of disposal in IFRS 5 - Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, on servicing contracts in IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments: Disclosures, and on the discount rate determination in IAS 19 - Employee Benefits. There was no effect from the adoption of these amendments.

The Group adopted the amendments to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements as part of its major initiative to improve presentation and disclosure in financial reports. The amendments make clear that materiality applies to the whole of financial statements and that the inclusion of immaterial information can inhibit the usefulness of financial disclosures. Furthermore, the amendments clarify that companies should use professional judgment in determining where and in what order information is presented in the financial disclosures. There was no effect from the adoption of these amendments.

New standards and amendments issued in 2016

In April 2016, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers which do not change the underlying principles of the standard, but clarify how those principles should be applied. The amendments clarify how to identify a performance obligation in a contract, determine whether a company is a principal or an agent and determine whether the revenue from granting a license should be recognized at a point in time or over time. The amendments also provide two additional reliefs to reduce cost and complexity. The amendments are effective from January 1, 2018, which is the same effective date as IFRS 15.

Except as noted in the paragraph above, at the date of these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the IASB had not issued any new standards, amendments or interpretations in 2016 in addition to those described in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Reference should be made to the section “New standards, amendments and interpretations not yet effective” in the Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed description of new standards not yet effective at March 31, 2016.





F-8



Scope of consolidation

On January 19, 2016, Ferrari Financial Services Inc. (“FFS Inc”) performed its first securitization program of retail financial receivables in the United States. The program was executed through Ferrari Auto Securitization Transaction LLC (“FAST”), a special purpose vehicle formed for the purpose of the securitization. Based on the technical analysis performed, FFS Inc has control over FAST through contractual terms that allow it to direct the relevant activities of FAST’s business. Therefore, starting from January 1, 2016, FAST is included in the scope of consolidation of the Group.

On September 23, 2015, the Group entered into an agreement to sell a group of assets related to its investment properties, including its participation in Ferrari GED S.p.A. to the tenant, Maserati S.p.A.

On July 28, 2015, the Group acquired the remaining 10 percent of non-controlling interest of its subsidiary Ferrari Financial Services S.p.A. from the minority, and as a result owns 100 percent of the share capital of the company.

Other than as set forth above, there have been no changes in the scope of consolidation.

4. FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS
    
The Group is exposed to various operational financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk and financial market risk (relating mainly to foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates). The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all the information and notes on financial risk management required in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements. For a detailed description of this information for the Group, reference should be made to Note 29 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

32,835


Income tax expense of €34,699 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to €32,835 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily attributable to the increase in profit before tax, partially offset by the reversal of deferred taxes due to reduction in the Italian tax rate net of Italian Regional Income Tax (“IRAP”) from 27.5% to 24% by 2017.



Income tax expense recorded in these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements has been calculated based on the tax rate expected for the full financial year. The tax rate net of IRAP, used for the three months ended March 31, 2016 is 26.1 percent compared to 28.2 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

IRAP (current and deferred) for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 amounted to €5,337 thousand and €5,207 thousand, respectively. IRAP is only applicable to Italian entities and is calculated on a measure of income defined by the Italian Civil Code as the difference between operating revenues and costs, before financial income and expense, and in particular before the cost of fixed-term employees, credit losses and any interest included in lease payments. IRAP is calculated using financial information prepared under Italian accounting standards. IRAP is applied on the tax base at 3.9 percent for each of the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities of the individual consolidated companies are offset within the interim consolidated statement of financial position where these may be offset.

The decrease in net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2015 to March 31, 2016 was primarily due to the tax impact on gains from cash flow hedging instruments.

20. EQUITY
Share capital
At March 31, 2016, and following completion of the Separation on January 3, 2016, the fully paid up share capital of the Company was €2,504 thousand, consisting of 193,923,499 common shares and 56,497,618 special voting shares, all with a nominal value of €0.01. At March 31, 2016, the Company held 5,000,000 common shares and 2,922 special voting shares in treasury.

F-14



At December 31, 2015, the fully paid up share capital of the Company was €3,778 thousand, consisting of 188,921,600 common shares and the same number of special voting shares, all with a nominal value of €0.01. As discussed in Note 1, with the exception of the FCA Note and subsequent refinancing (as detailed herein), the Restructuring has been retrospectively reflected in these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as though it had occurred effective January 1, 2015.
The Company did not issue new common shares or special voting shares in the initial public offering and did not receive any of the proceeds.

The loyalty voting structure

Following the Separation, Exor S.p.A. (Exor) and Piero Ferrari participate in our loyalty voting program and, therefore, effectively hold two votes for each of the common shares they hold. Investors who purchased common shares in the initial public offering may elect to participate in our loyalty voting program by registering their common shares in our loyalty share register and holding them for three years. The loyalty voting program will be effected by means of the issue of special voting shares to eligible holders of common shares. Each special voting share entitles the holder to exercise one vote at the Company’s shareholders meeting. Only a minimal dividend accrues to the special voting shares allocated to a separate special dividend reserve, and the special voting shares do not carry any entitlement to any other reserve of the Group. The special voting shares have only immaterial economic entitlements and, as a result, do not impact the Company’s earnings per share calculation.

Retained earnings and other reserves

Retained earnings and other reserves includes:

the share premium reserve of €5,975,434 thousand at March 31, 2016 and at December 31, 2015, which resulted from the issuance of common shares pursuant to the Restructuring and from a share premium contribution of €1,162 thousand made by FCA in 2015 and received in 2016;

the legal reserve of €5 thousand at March 31, 2016 and at December 31, 2015, determined in accordance with Dutch law.
