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.

Equity incentive plan
Following the approval of the equity incentive plan by the Board of Directors on March 1, 2017, on April 14, 2017 the Shareholders approved an award to the Chief Executive Officer under the Company’s equity incentive plan, which is applicable to all Group Executive Council (“GEC”) members and key leaders of the Company. Under the Company’s equity incentive plan, a total number of approximately 687 thousand performance share units (“PSUs”) and a total number of approximately 119 thousand restricted share units (“RSUs”) have been awarded. The grants of the PSUs and the RSUs, which each represent the right to receive one common share of the Company, cover a five-year performance period from 2016 to 2020, consistent with the Company’s strategic horizon.
See Note 22 “Share-based compensation” to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.

Statements contained in this report, particularly those regarding our possible or assumed future performance are “forward-looking statements” that contain risks and uncertainties. In some cases, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “could,” “should,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “outlook,” “continue,” “remain,” “on track,” “design,” “target,” “objective,” “goal,” “plan” and similar expressions are used to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect the respective current views of Ferrari with respect to future events and involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation:
our ability to preserve and enhance the value of the Ferrari brand;
the success of our Formula 1 racing team and the expenses we incur for our Formula 1 activities;
our ability to keep up with advances in high performance car technology and to make appealing designs for our new models;
the integration of hybrid technology more broadly into our car portfolio over time may present challenges and costs;
our ability to preserve our relationship with the automobile collector and enthusiast community;
our low volume strategy;
the ability of Maserati, our engine customer, to sell its planned volume of cars;
changes in client preferences and automotive trends;
changes in the general economic environment and changes in demand for luxury goods, including high performance luxury cars, 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;
our ability to successfully carry out our growth strategy and, particularly, our ability to grow our presence in emerging market countries;
our ability to service and refinance our debt;
competition in the luxury performance automobile industry;
reliance upon a number of key members of executive management and employees, and the ability of our current management team to operate and manage effectively;
the performance of our dealer network on which we depend for sales and services;
increases in costs, disruptions of supply or shortages of components and raw materials;
disruptions at our manufacturing facilities in Maranello and Modena;
our ability to provide or arrange for adequate access to financing for our dealers and clients, and associated risks;
the performance of our licensees for Ferrari-branded products;
our ability to protect our intellectual property rights and to avoid infringing on the intellectual property rights of others;
product recalls, liability claims and product warranties;
our continued compliance with customs regulations of various jurisdictions;
labor relations and collective bargaining agreements;
exchange rate fluctuations, interest rate changes, credit risk and other market risks;

changes in tax, tariff or fiscal policies and regulatory, political and labor conditions in the jurisdictions in which we operate;

5



our ability to ensure that our employees, agents and representatives comply with applicable law and regulations;
the adequacy of our insurance coverage to protect us against potential losses;
potential conflicts of interest due to director and officer overlaps with our largest shareholders;
our ability to maintain the functional and efficient operation of our information technology systems; and
other factors discussed elsewhere in this document.
We expressly disclaim and do not assume any liability in connection with any inaccuracies in any of the forward-looking statements in this document or in connection with any use by any third party of such forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. We do not undertake an obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements.

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 Net Profit, 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.
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, 2017 and 2016, 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 is the primary measure used by us to analyze our financial leverage and capital structure, and is one of the key indicators, together with Net Debt, we use to measure our financial position. These measures are presented by management to aid investors in their analysis of the Group's financial position and financial performance and to compare the Group's financial position and financial performance with that of other companies. Net Industrial Debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents, further adjusted to exclude the funded portion of the self-liquidating financial receivables portfolio, which is the portion of our receivables from financing activities that we fund with external debt or intercompany loans.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Net Debt and Net Industrial Debt at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

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. These measures are presented by management to aid investors in their analysis of the Group's financial performance and to compare the Group's financial performance with that of other companies. Free Cash Flow is defined as cash flows from operating activities 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, which is the change in our receivables from financing activities. The following table sets forth our Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

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 provide additional useful information to investors regarding the operating performance on a local currency basis.

For example, if a U.S. entity with U.S. Dollar functional currency recorded net revenues of U.S. $100 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we would have reported €93.9 million in net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017 (using the average exchange rate of 1.0648 for the three months ended March 31, 2017), or a €3.2 million increase over the €90.7 million in net revenues reported for three months ended March 31, 2016 (using the average exchange rate of 1.1022 for the three months ended March 31, 2016). The constant currency presentation would translate the net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017 using the foreign currency exchange rates for the three months ended March 31, 2016, and therefore indicate that the underlying net revenues on a constant currency basis were unchanged from period to period.

Includes the net revenues generated from shipments of our cars, including any personalization revenue generated on these cars and sales of spare parts.
(2)
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 our financial services activities and net revenues from the management of the Mugello racetrack.
 
Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were €821 million, an increase of €146 million, or 21.5 percent (an increase of 20.4 percent on a constant currency basis), from €675 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

The increase in net revenues, including the positive impact of foreign currency hedging instruments, was attributable to the combination of (i) a €100 million increase in cars and spare parts net revenues, (ii) a €47 million increase in engines net revenues, and (iii) a €5 million increase in sponsorship, commercial and brand net revenues, partially offset by (iv) a €6 million decrease in other net revenues.

11



Cars and spare parts

Net revenues generated from cars and spare parts were €581 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of €100 million, or 20.8 percent, from €481 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase was attributable to an €88 million increase in net revenues from range and special series cars and spare parts and a €12 million increase in net revenues from supercars and limited edition cars.

The €88 million increase in net revenues from range and special series cars and spare parts was principally attributable to an increase in shipments of approximately 125 cars (excluding the LaFerrari and the LaFerrari Aperta) and positive mix, along with a greater contribution from personalization programs and foreign currency exchange impact. Shipments of V12 range and special series models increased by 60.3 percent, primarily attributable to shipments of the GTC4Lusso, which commenced in third quarter of 2016, as well as the F12tdf, partially offset by a decrease in shipments of the F12berlinetta, which is in its 6th year of commercialization, and the phase-out of the FF. Shipments of V8 models decreased by 3.3 percent, driven by the California T, which is in its 4th year of commercialization.

The €88 million increase in net revenues from range and special series cars and spare parts was composed of increases in all four of our major geographical markets, including (i) €34 million in EMEA, (ii) €29 million in Americas, (iii) €16 million in Rest of APAC, and (iv) €9 million in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan (on a combined basis).

The €34 million increase in EMEA net revenues was primarily due to increases of €18 million in Italy, €6 million in Germany, €5 million in the UK, €4 million in Other EMEA, €2 million increase in Switzerland with France substantially in line with the prior year, partially offset by a decrease of €1 million in the Middle East. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in shipments, including double-digit growth in shipments in Italy, Germany, the UK and Switzerland, driven by the GTC4Lusso and the 488 family, along with a greater contribution from personalization programs.

The €29 million increase in Americas net revenues was primarily attributable to positive volume and mix, driven by the 488 family, the F12tdf and the GTC4Lusso, as well as our personalization programs and positive foreign currency exchange impact.

The €16 million increase in Rest of APAC net revenues was attributable to increases of €9 million in Japan and €9 million in other Rest of APAC, partially offset by a decrease of €2 million in Australia. The increase in Japan was driven by positive mix and our personalization programs, as well as positive foreign currency exchange impact, and the increase in other Rest of APAC was primarily attributable to positive volume and mix, driven by Singapore. The decrease in Australia was related to a few units and to GTC4Lusso yet to arrive on the market.

The €9 million increase in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan (on a combined basis) net revenues was primarily attributable to increases of €8 million in China and €1 million in Taiwan, with Hong Kong substantially in line with prior year, mainly due to the Company's decision to terminate the distributor agreement in Hong Kong in the fourth quarter of 2016. The increase in China was primarily attributable to higher volumes and positive mix driven by the 488 family, the GTC4Lusso and the F12tdf.

The increase in net revenues from supercars and limited edition cars was attributable to shipments of the LaFerrari Aperta, which was launched in the third quarter of 2016, partially offset by a decrease in shipments due to the end of the LaFerrari lifecycle in 2016, as well as the non-registered racing car FXX K and the strictly limited edition F60 America completing their limited series run in 2016.

Engines

Net revenues generated from engines were €104 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of €47 million, or 81.3 percent, from €57 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase of €47 million was mainly attributable to an increase in net revenues generated from the sale of engines to Maserati, driven by an increase in the number of engines shipped in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016, partially offset by a decrease in net revenues due to the termination of the rental agreement with a Formula 1 racing team.

Sponsorship, commercial and brand

Net revenues generated from sponsorship, commercial agreements and brand management activities were €123 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of €5 million, or 3.8 percent, from €118 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase was primarily related to an increase in net revenues from sponsorship, partially offset by the lower 2016 championship ranking compared to 2015.

Other

Other net revenues were €13 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, a decrease of €6 million, or 32.4 percent, from €19 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, primarily due to the deconsolidation of the financial services business in Europe since November 2016 following the sale of a majority stake in FFS GmbH to FCA Bank.

EBIT for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was €177 million, an increase of €56 million, or 46.1 percent, from €121 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. As a percentage of net revenues, EBIT was 21.6 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to 18.0 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
The increase in EBIT was primarily attributable to (i) positive volume impact of €17 million, (ii) positive product mix of €34 million, (iii) positive net foreign currency exchange impact of €30 million (including positive €23 million relating to foreign currency hedging instruments) and (iv) €2 million of positive contribution from other supporting activities, which were partially offset by (v) an increase in selling, general and administrative costs of €13 million, and (vi) an increase in research and development costs of €14 million.

The positive volume impact of €17 million was attributable to an increase in shipments of approximately 125 cars (excluding the LaFerrari and LaFerrari Aperta), driven by the 488 Family, the GTC4Lusso and the F12tdf, as well as a positive contribution from our personalization programs. The positive product mix of €34 million was primarily attributable to the LaFerrari Aperta, which was launched in the third quarter of 2016, as well as an increase in shipments of our V12 models, driven by the GTC4Lusso, partially offset by a decrease in shipments of the LaFerrari which completed its lifecycle in 2016, as well as the non-registered racing car FXX K and the strictly limited edition F60 America completing their limited series run in 2016.

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 2017 are expected to be between €350 million to €360 million, or higher based on the timing of research and development expenditure to transition our product portfolio to hybrid technology. We plan to fund our capital expenditure 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 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 Group's liquidity.    

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 payment of taxes also affects our working capital. Since 2016, Ferrari is a standalone tax group and we pay our taxes in two advances. In 2016, we made an initial payment in the second quarter and a more significant payment in the fourth quarter. Starting in 2017 we expect to pay taxes in equal advances, the first advance at either the end of the second quarter or the beginning of the third quarter, and the second advance in the fourth quarter.

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. Capital expenditure is also influenced by the timing of research and development costs for our Formula 1 activities, for which expenditure is generally higher in the first and last quarter of the year.

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 45 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.

Intangible assets    

Our capital expenditures in intangible assets were €32 million and €42 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, 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 luxury performance sports cars market.
    
For the three months ended March 31, 2017 we invested €30 million in externally acquired and internally generated development costs, of which €22 million related to development of models to be launched in future years, €4 million related to the 812Superfast, €3 million related to components and €1 million related to development of other range and special series cars.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we invested €37 million in externally acquired and internally generated development costs, of which €26 million related to development of models to be launched in future years, €8 million related to development of the GTC4Lusso, which commenced shipments in the third quarter of 2016, and €3 million related to components.
    
Investment in other intangible assets mainly relates to costs recognized for the implementation of software.


Property, plant and equipment

Our capital expenditures in property, plant and equipment were €41 million and €25 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Our most significant investments generally relate to plant, machinery and equipment, and in particular to our car production and engine assembly lines. Investments in plant, machinery and equipment amounted to €12 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

20



For the three months ended March 31, 2017 investments in plant, machinery and equipment of €12 million were composed of €2 million related to the investments in car production lines, €1 million related to engine assembly lines, €2 million of investments related to our personalization programs, and €7 million principally related to industrial tools needed for the production of cars.
For the three months ended March 31, 2016, investments in plant and machinery of €12 million were composed of €7 million related to the investments in car production lines, €1 million of plant related to our personalization program, €1 million related to engine assembly lines and the residual amount of capital expenditure in plant, machinery and equipment was principally related to industrial tools needed for the production of cars.
Advances and assets under construction, which amounted to €26 million and €12 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 respectively, primarily related to investments in industrial tools needed for the production of new models.

Net Debt and Net Industrial Debt
Net Industrial Debt is the primary measure used by us to analyze our financial leverage and capital structure, and is one of the key indicators, together with Net Debt, we use to measure our financial position. These measures are presented by management to aid investors in their analysis of the Group's financial position and financial performance and to compare the Group's financial position and financial performance with that of other companies. Net Industrial Debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents (Net Debt), further adjusted to exclude the funded portion of the self-liquidating financial receivables portfolio, which is the portion of our receivables from financing activities that we fund with external debt or intercompany loans

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Net Debt and Net Industrial Debt at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to €569 million at March 31, 2017 compared to €458 million at December 31, 2016. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily driven by Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities and proceeds from our securitization programs. See “Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities” and “Cash Flows” for further details.
 
Approximately 70% of our cash and cash equivalents were denominated in Euro at March 31, 2017. Our cash and cash equivalents denominated in currencies other than the Euro are available mostly to Ferrari S.p.A. and 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 (including in foreign currencies), which amounted to €75 million at March 31, 2017 (€48 million at December 31, 2016), is subject to certain repatriation restrictions and may only be repatriated as dividends. Based on our review, we do not currently believe that such transfer restrictions have an adverse impact on our ability to meet our liquidity requirements.

Total available liquidity (defined as cash and cash equivalents plus undrawn committed credit lines) at March 31, 2017 was €1,069 million (€958 million at December 31, 2016).

The undrawn committed credit lines relates to a revolving credit facility. See “The Facility” below for further details.


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 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, primarily using the proceeds from the bond (see “Bond” below).
The Company made voluntary prepayments of €600 million on the Term Loan, paying €300 million in September 2016 and €300 million in December 2016. Also in December 2016, the Company and FFS Inc made mandatory scheduled payments of €92 million and $9 million, respectively.

At March 31, 2017 and at December 31, 2016 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 FFS Inc to support the financial services operations, and in particular €33 million (€24 million at December 31, 2016) relating to a $100 million U.S. Dollar denominated credit facility that was entered into on November 17, 2015, the proceeds of which were fully drawn down in 2015 and used to repay financial liabilities with FCA in the United States. The credit facility was renewed in December 2016 for an additional 12 months. Other borrowings from banks also includes €13 million at March 31, 2017 (€13 million at December 31, 2016) 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. The amount outstanding at March 31, 2017 includes accrued interest of €0.3 million (€5.9 million at December 31, 2016).

Securitization
In 2016 FFS Inc pursued a strategy of self-financing, further reducing dependency on intercompany funding and increasing the portion of self-liquidating debt with various securitization transactions.
On January 19, 2016, 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. On December 16, 2016, the funding limit of the program was increased to US$275 million. The notes bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the aggregate of LIBOR plus a margin of 70 basis points. Proceeds from the first sale of financial receivables were $242 million and were primarily used to repay intercompany loans. The securitization agreement requires the maintenance of an interest rate cap.
On October 20, 2016, FFS Inc performed a revolving securitization program for funding of up to $200 million by pledging leasing 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 70 basis points. Proceeds from the first sale of financial receivables were $175 million and were primarily used to repay the $150 million U.S. Dollar denominated credit facility. The securitization agreement requires the maintenance of an interest rate cap.
Finally, on December 28, 2016, FFS Inc performed a revolving securitization program for funding of up to $120 million by pledging credit lines to Ferrari customers secured by personal vehicle collections and personal guarantees 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 150 basis points. Proceeds from the first sale of financial receivables were $64 million and were primarily used to partially repay the $100 million U.S. Dollar denominated credit facility. The securitization agreement does not require an interest rate cap.
Cash collected from the settlement of receivables or lines of credit pledged as collateral is subject to certain restrictions regarding its use and is principally applied to repay principal and interest of the funding. Such cash amounted to €31 million at March 31, 2017 (€19 million at December 31, 2016).
Other debt
Other debt mainly relates to Ferrari S.p.A. for the financing of investments in research and development.

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. These measures are presented by management to aid investors in their analysis of the Group's financial performance and to compare the Group's financial performance with that of other companies. Free Cash Flow is defined as cash flows from operating activities 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, which is the change in our receivables from financing activities. The following table sets forth our Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

Cash flows used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are net of €8 million proceeds from exercising the Delta Topco option.

Free Cash Flow for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was €78 million, an increase of €33 million compared to €45 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. For an explanation of the drivers in Free Cash Flow see “Cash Flows” above.

Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was €76 million, an increase of €48 million compared to €28 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities was primarily attributable to an increase in Adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by negative impact from net working capital and capital expenditures.


Outlook

2017 Outlook confirmed:

Shipments: ~8,400 including supercars
Net revenues: > €3.3 billion
Adjusted EBITDA: > €950 million
Net Industrial Debt: ~€500 million including a cash distribution to the holders of common shares and excluding
potential share repurchases

FERRARI N.V.
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AT AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2017 AND MARCH 31, 2016

1. BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
    
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 170 authorized dealers operating 188 points of sale. 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 16 Ferrari-owned stores and 30 franchised stores (including 8 Ferrari Store Junior), as well as on the Group’s website. To facilitate the sale of new and used cars, the Group provides various forms of financing, through cooperation and other agreements, 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.

Fiat S.p.A., (merged with and into Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. in October 2014, Fiat S.p.A. and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles are defined as “FCA” as the context requires and together with their subsidiaries the “FCA Group”) acquired 50 percent of Ferrari S.p.A. in 1969, and over time expanded this shareholding to 90 percent ownership, while the remaining 10 percent non-controlling interest was owned by Piero Ferrari.

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.

The transactions described above in (i) and (ii) (referred to collectively as the “Restructuring”) were completed in October 2015. 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 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, 2017 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, 2017, the Company held 4,975,582 common shares and 2,930 special voting shares in treasury, while at December 31, 2016 the Company held 5,000,000 common shares and 2,930 special voting shares. The decrease in common shares held in treasury reflects the granting of shares to Non-Executive Directors as part of their directors compensation.
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 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 4, 2017, 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, 2016 (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, 2016, except as described in the paragraphs “Share-based compensation” and “New standards and amendments effective from January 1, 2017”.




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.
Share-based compensation
The Group has implemented an equity incentive plan that provides for the granting of share-based compensation to the Chief Executive Officer, all other members of the Group Executive Council (“GEC”) and key leaders. The equity incentive plan is accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2 - Share-based Payment, which allows the Company to recognize share-based compensation expense based on fair value of the awards granted. Compensation expense for the equity-settled awards containing market performance conditions is measured at the grant date fair value of the award using the Monte Carlo simulation model, which requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, the dividend yield, interest rates and a correlation coefficient between the common stock and the relevant market index. The fair value of the awards which are conditional only on a recipient’s continued service to the Company is measured using the share price at the grant date adjusted for the present value of future distributions which employees will not receive during the vesting period.
Share-based compensation expense is recognized over the service period within selling, general and administrative costs or cost of sales in the consolidated income statement depending on the function of the employee, with an offsetting increase to equity.

New standards and amendments effective from January 1, 2017
The following new standards and amendments that are applicable from January 1, 2017 were adopted by the Group for the purpose of the preparation of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Group adopted the amendments to IAS 12 - Income Taxes. The amendments clarify how to account for deferred tax assets related to debt instruments measured at fair value. Specifically, the amendments clarify the requirements on recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealized losses in order to address diversity in practice. There was no effect from the adoption of these amendments.

The Group adopted the amendments to IAS 7 - Statement of Cash Flows, which requires companies to provide information about changes in their financing liabilities. The amendments are aimed at improving disclosures so that users of financial statements are better able to understand the changes in a company’s debt, including changes from cash flows and non-cash changes. There was no effect from the adoption of these amendments.

New standards, amendments and interpretations not yet effective
The standards, amendments and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) that will have mandatory application in 2018 or subsequent years are listed below:
In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard requires a company to recognize revenue upon transfer of control of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive. This new revenue recognition model defines a five step process to achieve this objective. The updated guidance also requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. In April 2016, the IASB issued amendments to the standard 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 standard and amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with earlier adoption permitted. The Group is currently quantifying the impact of adoption, however based on currently available information, the Group does not expect a material impact from the adoption of this standard and related amendments.
In July 2014 the IASB issued IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments. The improvements introduced by the new standard includes a logical approach for classification and measurement of financial instruments driven by cash flow characteristics and the business model in which an asset is held, a single “expected loss” impairment model for financial assets and a substantially reformed approach for hedge accounting. The standard is effective, retrospectively with limited exceptions, for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 with earlier application permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the method of implementation and impact of adoption.

In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 - Leases which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract and replaces the previous leases standard, IAS 17 - Leases. IFRS 16, which is not applicable to service contracts, but only applicable to leases or lease components of a contract, defines a lease as a contract that conveys to the customer (lessee) the right to use an asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. IFRS 16 eliminates the classification of leases for the lessee as either operating leases or finance leases as required by IAS 17 and, instead, introduces a single lessee accounting model whereby a lessee is required to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with a term that is greater than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value, and to recognize depreciation of leases assets separately from interest on lease liabilities in the income statement. As IFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in IAS 17, a lessor will continue to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases and to account for those two types of leases differently. IFRS 16 is effective from January 1, 2019 with early adoption allowed only if IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers is also applied. The Group is currently evaluating the method of implementation and impact of adoption.

In June 2016, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 2 - Share-Based Payment, which provide requirements on the accounting for (i) the effects of vesting and non-vesting conditions on the measurement of cash-settled share-based payments; (ii) share-based payment transactions with a net settlement feature for withholding tax obligations; and (iii) a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment that changes the classification of the transaction from cash-settled to equity-

settled. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early application is permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the method of implementation and impact.

In December 2016, the IASB issued Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2014 - 2016 Cycle, which has amendments to three Standards: IFRS 12 - Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (effective date of January 1, 2017), IFRS 1- First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (effective date of January 1, 2018) and IAS 28 - Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (effective date of January 1, 2018). The amendments clarify, correct or remove redundant wording in the related IFRS Standard and are not expected to have a material impact upon adoption.
In December 2016, the IASB issued IFRIC Interpretation 22 - Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration which addresses the exchange rate to use in transactions that involve advance consideration paid or received in a foreign currency. The interpretation is effective January 1, 2018. The Group is currently evaluating the method of implementation and impact of adoption.
Scope of consolidation

There were no changes to the scope of consolidation during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

On December 30, 2016, a new fully owned subsidiary, Ferrari (HK) Limited, was incorporated in Hong Kong following the Group’s decision to directly manage the importation of Ferrari cars in Hong Kong.

    On November 17, 2016 the Group constituted Ferrari Auto Securitization Transaction - Select, LLC to perform a securitization program in the United States. Ferrari Auto Securitization Transaction - Select, LLC was not operating until December 2016.

On November 7, 2016, Ferrari and FCA Bank finalized an agreement to provide financial services in Europe, under which FCA Bank acquired a majority stake in FFS GmbH from Ferrari for a purchase price of €18,595 thousand, which was received upon sale. In addition to the purchase price, as a result of the funding of FFS GmbH being directly provided by FCA Bank, which is the consolidating entity of FFS GmbH following the transaction, the Group also received cash of €431,958 thousand. Upon completion of the transaction, FFS GmbH was deconsolidated and the 49.9 percent interest in FFS GmbH retained by Ferrari is accounted for using the equity method.

On July 21, 2016 and August 4, 2016 the Group constituted, respectively, Ferrari Financial Services Titling Trust (“FFS Titling Trust”) and Ferrari Auto Securitization Transaction Lease, LLC (“FAST Lease, LLC”) to perform securitization programs in the United States. Both FFS Titling Trust and FAST Lease, LLC were not operating until October 2016.

On April 30, 2016, the liquidation process of Ferrari Financial Services KK (“FFS KK”), which commenced in February 2016, was completed. The liquidation follows the disposal of the financial services portfolio in Japan in November 2015. As a result of the liquidation, FFS KK is no longer included in the 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 such date, FAST is included in the scope of consolidation of the Group.

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 30 of the Consolidated Financial Statements at and for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Income tax expense amounted to €49,395 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to €34,699 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2016, primarily attributable to an increase in profit before taxes, partially offset by the combined effects of a reduction in the corporate income tax rate from 27.5 percent to 24.0 percent, effective from 2017, and additional deductions related to eligible research and development costs and on depreciation of fixed assets, in accordance with changes in tax regulations in Italy.

Income tax expense has been calculated based on the tax rate expected for the full financial year. The effective tax rate (net of IRAP) used for the three months ended March 31, 2017 is 23.7 percent compared to 26.1 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2016.


F-12



IRAP (current and deferred) for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 amounted to €8,258 thousand and €5,337 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 the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, 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 increase in net deferred tax assets from December 31, 2016 to March 31, 2017 was primarily due to the tax impact on temporary non-deductible depreciation and provisions.

21. EQUITY
Share capital
Following the Separation and at March 31, 2017 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, 2017, the Company held 4,975,582 common shares and 2,930 special voting shares in treasury, while at December 31, 2016 the Company held 5,000,000 common shares and 2,930 special voting shares. The decrease in common shares held in treasury reflects the granting of shares to Non-Executive Directors as part of their directors compensation.
The loyalty voting structure

The purpose of the loyalty voting structure is to reward ownership of the Company's common shares and to promote stability of the Company's shareholder base by granting long-term shareholders of the Company with special voting shares. Following the Separation, Exor N.V. (“Exor”) and Piero Ferrari participate in the Company's 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 the loyalty voting program by registering their common shares in the 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.
