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 and amortization and depreciation. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA as adjusted for certain income and costs which are significant in nature, expected to occur infrequently, and that management considers not reflective of ongoing operational activities. 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 adjustments, which may obscure the underlying performance and impair comparability of results between periods.
The following table sets forth the calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and provides a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to net profit. There were no adjustments impacting Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented.

Adjusted Basic and Diluted Earnings per Common Share

Adjusted Basic and Diluted Earnings per Common Share represents earnings per share, as adjusted for certain income and costs (net of tax effect) which are significant in nature, expected to occur infrequently, and that management considers not reflective of ongoing operational activities. We provide such information in order to present how the underlying business has performed prior to the impact of such items, which may obscure the underlying performance and impair comparability of results between the periods.

Net Debt and Net Industrial Debt    

Due to different sources of cash flows used for the repayment of Debt between industrial activities and financial services activities, and the different business structure and leverage implications, Net Industrial Debt, together with Net Debt, are the primary measures used by us to analyze our capital structure and financial leverage. We believe the presentation of Net Industrial Debt aids management and investors in their analysis of the Group’s financial position and financial performance and to compare with other companies. Net Industrial Debt is defined as total Debt less Cash and cash equivalents (Net Debt), further adjusted to exclude the debt and cash and cash equivalents related to our financial services activities (Net Debt of Financial Services Activities). Prior to the first quarter of 2019, we defined Net Industrial Debt as Net Debt adjusted to exclude (a) 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. but not (b) the cash and cash equivalents of the financial activities, since such cash was considered also available for use in our industrial activities. We believe the current definition provides a more

8



comprehensive disclosure of our underlying financial leverage from industrial activities. Net Industrial Debt for the comparative period has been restated to conform to the current presentation.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Net Debt and Net Industrial Debt at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (for information purposes, Net Industrial Debt at March 31, 2018 was €443 million according to the current definition).

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 investments in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities is defined as Free Cash Flow adjusted to exclude the operating cash flow from our financial services activities (Free Cash Flow from Financial Services Activities). Prior to the first quarter of 2019, we defined Free Cash Flow as cash flows from operating activities less cash flows used in investing activities, and we defined Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities 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). In order to align our definition of Free Cash Flow to other more common definitions and to allow the definition of Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities to exclude all cash flows from operating activities not attributable to the industrial activities, even if such cash flows were available for industrial activities, we determined it was appropriate to redefine Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities starting in 2019. Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities for the comparative periods have been restated to conform to the current presentation.

The following table sets forth our Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

Constant Currency Information

The “Results of Operations” discussion below includes information about our net revenues on a constant currency basis, which eliminates the effects of foreign currency translation from our subsidiaries with functional currencies other than Euro, as well as the effects of foreign currency transaction impact and foreign currency hedging. We use this information to assess how the underlying revenues changed independent of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and hedging. We calculate constant currency by (i) applying the prior-period average foreign currency exchange rates to translate current period revenues of foreign subsidiaries expressed in local functional currency other than Euro, (ii) applying the prior-period average

9



foreign currency exchange rates to current period revenues originated in a currency other than the functional currency of the applicable entity, and (iii) eliminating the variances of any foreign currency hedging (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 revenues excluding the impact of currency fluctuations and the impacts of hedging provide additional useful information to investors regarding the operating performance on a local currency basis.

Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were €940 million, an increase of €109 million, or 13.1 percent (an increase of 11.1 percent on a constant currency basis), from €831 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
The increase in net revenues was attributable to the combination of (i) a €123 million increase in cars and spare parts net revenues, (ii) a €3 million increase in sponsorship, commercial and brand net revenues, and (iii) a €2 million increase in other net revenues, partially offset by (iv) a €19 million decrease in engines net revenues.
Cars and spare parts
Net revenues generated from cars and spare parts were €735 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of €123 million, or 20.1 percent, from €612 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
    
The €123 million increase in net revenues was composed of increases in all four of our geographical regions, including: (i) a €64 million increase in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, (ii) a €27 million increase in EMEA, (iii) an €18 million increase in Rest of APAC, and (iv) a €14 million increase in Americas.
    
The increase in net revenues was primarily attributable to positive volume impact in all four of our geographical regions, including a shift in geographical mix in favor of Mainland China as a result of the decision to serve the market in advance of the early implementation of new emissions regulations. Total shipments increased by 482 cars, or 22.7 percent, comprised of a 30.6 percent increase in V8 models and a 4.1 percent increase in V12 models. The increase in shipments was mainly driven by the Ferrari Portofino, the 812 Superfast and the ramp up of the 488 Pista, partially offset by the phase-out of the 488 GTB and 488 Spider, as well as the LaFerrari Aperta, which finished its limited series run in 2018. The increase in net revenues was also attributable to greater contribution from our personalization programs, as well as deliveries of the FXX K EVO and foreign currency translation impact, driven by the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar compared to the Euro.
    
Engines
Net revenues generated from engines were €58 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of €19 million, or 23.4 percent, from €77 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The €19 million decrease was mainly attributable to a decrease in net revenues generated from the sale of engines to Maserati, driven by a decrease in the number of engines shipped in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018.

Sponsorship, commercial and brand

Net revenues generated from sponsorship, commercial agreements and brand management activities were €128 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of €3 million, or 2.0 percent, from €125 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to positive foreign currency exchange impact, partially offset by other brand related activities.

Other

Other net revenues, which primarily relate to our financial services activities and management of the Mugello racetrack, amounted to €19 million and €17 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The increase in cost of sales was primarily attributable to an increase in volumes, amortization and depreciation and industrial costs, as well as negative foreign currency exchange impact, partially offset by a decrease in costs related to lower engine volumes.

EBIT for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was €232 million, an increase of €22 million, or 10.7 percent, from €210 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

The increase in EBIT was primarily attributable to (i) positive volume impact of €60 million and (ii) positive foreign currency exchange impact of €12 million (including foreign currency hedging instruments) primarily driven by fluctuations in the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar compared to the Euro, partially offset by (iii) negative product mix impact of €22 million, (iv) €13 million of negative contribution from other supporting activities, (v) an increase in research and development costs of €12 million, and (iv) an increase in selling, general and administrative costs of €3 million.

The positive volume impact of €60 million was attributable to an increase in shipments, driven by the Ferrari Portofino, the 812 Superfast and the ramp up of the 488 Pista, partially offset by the phasing out of the 488 GTB and the 488 Spider. The negative product mix impact of €22 million was primarily attributable to the combined impact of the LaFerrari Aperta, which finished its limited series run in 2018, and an increase in shipments of the Ferrari Portofino, partially offset by deliveries of the FXX K EVO as well as the positive contribution from our personalization programs.

Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was €45 million compared to €57 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily attributable to the positive impact of the estimated Patent Box tax benefit (as described below) relating to 2019, partially offset by higher taxes arising from an increase in profit before taxes.

Income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2019 benefited from the application of the Patent Box tax regime. In September 2018, the Group signed an agreement with the Italian Revenue Agency in relation to the Patent Box tax regime,

13



which provides a tax benefit for companies that generate income through the use, both direct and indirect, of copyrights, patents, trademarks, designs and know-how. The agreement relates to the five-year period from 2015 to 2019. The Group applied the Patent Box tax regime for the calculation of income taxes starting in the third quarter of 2018.

The effective tax rate net of IRAP was 17.3 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to 23.3 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2018, (total effective tax rate of 20.0 percent and 27.9 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively) mainly attributable to the positive impact of the Patent Box benefit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity Overview

We require liquidity in order to fund our business operations and meet our obligations. Short-term liquidity is required to purchase raw materials, parts and components for car production, as well as to fund selling, general, 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 product range and broaden our future product portfolio. We make capital investments, primarily in Italy, to support continuous product range renewal and expansion, as well as for initiatives to enhance manufacturing efficiency, improve capacity, and for maintenance and environmental compliance. More recently, we also started incurring research and development expenditure to transition our product portfolio to hybrid technology. We 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 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 centrally manage our operating cash management, liquidity and cash flow requirements with the objective of ensuring efficient and effective management of our funds. 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 our liquidity.    

Cyclical Nature of Our Cash Flows

Our working capital is subject to month to month fluctuations due to, among other things, production and sales volumes, activity of our financial services, timing of capital expenditure and tax payments. In particular, our inventory levels increase in the periods leading up to launches of new models, during the phase out of existing models and at the end of the second quarter when our inventory levels are generally higher to support the summer plant shutdown.

We generally receive payment for cars between 30 and 40 days after the car is shipped (except when we provide dealer financing or sell invoices to a factor) while we generally pay most suppliers between 60 and 90 days after we receive the raw materials or components. Additionally, we also receive advance payments from our customers, mainly for our hypercars and limited edition cars (and starting in the first quarter of 2019, our Icona cars). 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 of the above, including the advances received from customers in certain models, 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 investments for capital expenditure and research and development are, among other factors, influenced by the timing and number of new models launches. Our development costs, as well as our other investments in capital expenditure, generally peak in periods when we develop a significant number of new models to renew or expand our product range. Our research and development costs are also influenced by the timing of research costs for our Formula 1 activities, for which expenditure is generally higher in the first and last quarters of the year. We significantly increased our capital expenditure in 2018 and we expect our capital expenditure will continue to increase in 2019 to further our investments in hybrid technology and to support the expansion of our product range.

The payment of income taxes also affects our working capital. We typically pay our income taxes in two advances. In the second quarter of 2018, we paid the remaining balance of 2017 income taxes as well as the first advance in relation to 2018 income taxes. As a result of signing an agreement in September 2018 with the Italian Revenue Agency in relation to the Patent Box tax regime for the years 2015 to 2019, our income tax expense was significantly reduced in 2018 and we did not pay the second advance in relation to 2018 income taxes in the fourth quarter of 2018. The current Patent Box ruling remains in force until fiscal year 2019. The applicability and the potential impact of the Patent Box tax regime beyond 2019 will depend on the evolution of Italian tax legislation currently under development. See Note 12 “Income Tax Expense” to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details related to the Patent Box.

Intangible assets    

Our total capital expenditures in intangible assets were €68 million and €59 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, the most significant component of which relates to externally acquired and internally generated development 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, including to transition our product portfolio to hybrid technology. 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.
    
The increase in externally acquired and internally generated development costs reflects the gradual introduction of hybrid technology into our product portfolio. We believe hybrid technology is one of the keys to providing continuing performance upgrades to our sports car customers, and will also help us capture the preferences of the urban, affluent purchasers of GT cars whom we are increasingly targeting.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 we invested €65 million in externally acquired and internally generated development costs, of which €53 million related to the development of models to be launched in future years and €12 million primarily related to the development of our current product portfolio, as well as components.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 we invested €57 million in externally acquired and internally generated development costs, of which €41 million related to the development of models to be launched in future years and €16 million primarily related to the development of our current product portfolio, as well as components.



18



Property, plant and equipment

Our total capital expenditures in property, plant and equipment were €67 million and €62 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Our most significant investments generally relate to plant, machinery and equipment, which amounted to €10 million and €14 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, as well as advances and assets under construction, which amounted to €53 million and €47 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 respectively. Our most significant investments primarily related to industrial tools needed for the production of cars and investments in car production lines (including those for models to be launched in future years), as well as expenditures related to our personalization programs and engine assembly lines. The increase in capital expenditures in advances and assets under construction reflects our focus on the hybridization and broadening of our product range and supporting future model launches.

At March 31, 2019, the Group had contractual commitments for the purchase of property, plant and equipment amounting to €135 million.

Net Debt and Net Industrial Debt

Due to different sources of cash flows used for the repayment of debt between industrial activities and financial services activities, and the different business structure and leverage implications, Net Industrial Debt, together with Net Debt, are the primary measures used by us to analyze our capital structure and financial leverage. We believe the presentation of Net Industrial Debt aids management and investors in their analysis of the Group’s financial position and financial performance and to compare with other companies. Net Industrial Debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents (Net Debt), further adjusted to exclude the debt and cash and cash equivalents related to our financial services activities (Net Debt of Financial Services Activities). Starting in 2019 we changed the definition of Net Industrial Debt. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” above for further information.

As a result of adopting IFRS 16 - Leases on January 1, 2019, the Group recognized right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities of €63 million in relation to leases which had previously been classified as operating leases under IAS 17. For further details please refer to Note 3 in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
 

For further details on total debt, see Note 23 “Debt” to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this document.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to €1,062 million at March 31, 2019 compared to €794 million at December 31, 2018. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily driven by Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities and proceeds

19



from our securitization programs, partially offset by consideration paid to repurchase common shares under the share repurchase program. See “Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities” and “Cash Flows” for further details.

Approximately 76 percent of our cash and cash equivalents were denominated in Euro at March 31, 2019 (approximately 78 percent at December 31, 2018). 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 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 €92 million at March 31, 2019 (€78 million at December 31, 2018), is subject to certain repatriation restrictions and may only be repatriated as dividends or capital distributions. We do not currently believe that such transfer restrictions have an adverse impact on our ability to meet our liquidity requirements.

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 investments in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities is defined as Free Cash Flow adjusted to exclude the operating cash flow from our financial services activities (Free Cash Flow from Financial Services Activities). Starting in 2019 we changed the definition of Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” above for further information.

The following table sets forth our Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was €282 million, an increase of €191 million compared to €91 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in Free Cash Flow from Industrial Activities was primarily attributable to an increase in Adjusted EBITDA and a positive change in working capital, driven by advances received for the Ferrari Monza SP1 and SP2, partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 167 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 18 Ferrari-owned stores and 18 franchised stores (including 6 Ferrari Store Junior), as well as on the Group’s website. To facilitate the sale of new and pre-owned cars, the Group provides various forms of financing to clients and dealers, including through cooperation and other agreements. 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 promotional activities and an important source of innovation supporting the technological advancement of Ferrari sport and street cars.

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 7, 2019, 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, 2018 (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, 2018, except as described in the section “New standards and amendments effective from January 1, 2019”.

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.

F-6




New standards and amendments effective from January 1, 2019
The following new standards and amendments effective from January 1, 2019 were adopted by the Group.
IFRS 16 - Leases

Transition impact

The Group applied the simplified transition approach and has therefore recognized the impacts of adoption at January 1, 2019 without restating comparative figures for the period prior to adoption. The Group elected to use the exemptions permitted on transition for short term leases (contracts in which the lease terms ends within 12 months of the date of initial application) and lease contracts for which the underlying asset is of low value.

Upon adoption, the Group recognized right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as operating lease under IAS 17, measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments over the lease term that have not been paid at the date of adoption, discounted using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019, being the rate that the Group would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions. At January 1, 2019 this rate ranged from 1 percent to 5 percent based primarily on the country of the lessee and the remaining lease term of the underlying leased assets. The lease term includes both the non-cancellable periods for which the Group has the right to use the underlying assets and also any renewal periods if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise the related renewal option.
    
As of January 1, 2019, after considering the exemptions mentioned above, the Group had non-cancellable operating lease commitments of approximately €74,930 thousand. Of these commitments, the Group recognized right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities of €63,535 thousand.

The main contracts within the scope of IFRS 16 for which the Group is lessee primarily relate to Ferrari stores (included within other assets) and industrial buildings.

Upon adoption the Group did not recognize any deferred tax assets or liabilities in respect of temporary differences arising on initial recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as the initial recognition does not affect accounting profit or taxable profit.
    

F-7



For the three month ended March 31, 2019 the impact of adopting the new standard resulted in the recognition of €3,913 thousand of depreciation of right-of-use assets and €250 thousand of financial expenses. Lease expenses that would have been recognized in the income statement under the previous lease standard, IAS 17, would have been €3,977 thousand.

There were no impacts arising on application of IFRS 16 from the Group’s activities as lessor.

Lease accounting policy

With the adoption of IFRS 16, the Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use. Each lease payment is allocated between the principal liability and finance costs. Finance costs are charged to the income statement over the lease period using the effective interest rate method. The right-of-use asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following: (i) the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability; (ii) any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received; (iii) any initial direct costs and, if applicable, (iv) restoration costs. Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis.
Lease liabilities are measured at the net present value of the following: (i) fixed lease payments, (ii) variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate and, if applicable, (iii) amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees, and (iv) the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option. Lease liabilities do not include any non-lease components that may be included in the related contracts.
Lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the Group would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.
Some lease contracts contain variable payment terms that are linked to sales generated from Ferrari stores. Variable lease payments that depend on sales are recognized in the income statement in the period in which the condition that triggers those payments occurs.

Extension and termination options are included in a number of leases related to Ferrari stores, warehouses and machinery and equipment of the Group. In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated).

IFRIC Interpretation 23 - Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments
    
The Group adopted IFRIC Interpretation 23 - Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments. The interpretation provides requirements regarding how to reflect uncertainties in accounting for income taxes. The interpretation is effective on or after January 1, 2019. There was no effect from the adoption of this interpretation.

Amendments to IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments
    
The Group adopted Amendments to IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments. These amendments allow, under certain conditions, for a prepayable financial asset with negative compensation payments to be measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income. The amendments also contain a clarification relating to the accounting for a modification or exchange of a financial liability measured at amortized cost that does not result in the derecognition of the financial liability. The amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2019. There was no effect from the adoption of these amendments.

Amendments to IAS 28 - Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures
    
The Group adopted Amendments to IAS 28 - Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures. These amendments clarify that an entity applies IFRS 9 to long-term interests in an associate or joint venture that form part of the net investment in the associate or joint venture but to which the equity method is not applied. The amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2019. There was no effect from the adoption of these amendments.


F-8



Amendments to IAS 19 - Employee Benefits
    
The Group adopted Amendments to IAS 19 - Employee Benefits. These amendments require that when there is a change to a defined benefit plan (an amendment, curtailment or settlement) the company use the adopted assumptions from the remeasurement of a net defined benefit liability or asset to determine current service cost and net interest for the remainder of the reporting period after the change to the plan. The amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2019. There was no effect from the adoption of these amendments.

Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2015-2017 Cycle

The Group adopted Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2015-2017 Cycle. The improvements have amended four standards with effective date of January 1, 2019: i) IFRS 3 - Business Combinations, in relation to obtaining control of a business which was previously accounted for as an interest in a joint operation; ii) IFRS 11 - Joint Arrangements, in relation to obtaining joint control of a business which was previously accounted for as a joint operation; iii) IAS 12 - Income Taxes, clarifying the treatment of taxes in relation to dividend payments; and iv) IAS 23 - Borrowing Costs, clarifying the treatment of borrowings which were previously capitalized when the related asset is ready for its intended use or sale. 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 2019 or subsequent years are listed below:

In May 2017 the IASB issued IFRS 17 - Insurance Contracts which establishes principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts issued as well as guidance relating to reinsurance contracts held and investment contracts with discretionary participation features issued. IFRS 17 is effective on or after January 1, 2021 with early adoption allowed if IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers and IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments are also applied. The Group does not expect any impact from the adoption of this standard.

In October 2018 the IASB issued narrow scope amendments to IFRS 3 - Business Combinations to improve the definition
of a business. The amendments aim to help companies determine whether an acquisition made is of a business or a group of assets. The amended definition emphasizes that the output of a business is to provide goods and services to customers, whereas the previous definition focused on returns in the form of dividends, lower costs or other economic benefits to investors and others. In addition to amending the definition of a business, supplementary guidance is provided. These amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2020. The Group does not expect any material impact from the adoption of these amendments.

In October 2018 the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors to clarify the definition of ‘material’, as well as how materiality should be applied by including in the definition guidance that is included elsewhere in IFRS standards. In addition, the explanations accompanying the definition have been improved and the amendments ensure that the definition of material is consistent across all IFRS standards. These amendments are effective on or after January 1, 2020. The Group does not expect any material impact from the adoption of these amendments.

Review of the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting

In March 2018 the IASB revised the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting, effective immediately for the IASB and the IFRS Interpretations Committee when setting future standards, and effective for annual reporting periods on or after January 1, 2020 for companies that use the Conceptual Framework to develop accounting policies when no IFRS Standard applies to a particular transaction, with early application permitted. Key changes include (i) increasing the prominence of stewardship in the objective of financial reporting; (ii) reinstating prudence as a component of neutrality, defined as the exercise of caution when making judgements under conditions of uncertainty; (iii) defining a reporting entity; (iv) revising the definitions of an asset and a liability; (v) removing the probability threshold for recognition, and adding guidance on derecognition; (vi) adding guidance on the information provided by different measurement bases, and explaining factors to consider when selecting a measurement basis; and (vii) stating that profit or loss is the primary performance indicator and income and expenses in other comprehensive income should be recycled where the relevance or faithful representation of the financial statements would be enhanced. The Group does not expect a material impact from the adoption of the revised Conceptual Framework.

F-9



Scope of consolidation

With effect from May 31, 2018, Ferrari Financial Services S.p.A., which at December 31, 2017 was a fully-owned subsidiary of Ferrari S.p.A., was merged with and into Ferrari S.p.A..

4. FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS
    
The Group is exposed to various operational financial risks, including financial market risk (relating mainly to foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates) credit risk and liquidity risk. The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all the information and notes on financial risk management required in the annual consolidated financial statements.

Income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2019 benefited from the application of the Patent Box tax regime. In September 2018, the Group signed an agreement with the Italian Revenue Agency in relation to the Patent Box tax regime,

F-12



which provides a tax benefit for companies that generate income through the use, both direct and indirect, of copyrights, patents, trademarks, designs and know-how. The agreement relates to the five-year period from 2015 to 2019. The Group applied the Patent Box tax regime for the calculation of income taxes starting in the third quarter of 2018.

The effective tax rate (net of IRAP) was 17.3 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to 23.3 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2018, mainly attributable to the positive impact of the Patent Box benefit.

IRAP (current and deferred) for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 amounted to €6,050 thousand and €9,254 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, 2019 and 2018, 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.

21. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
        
Equity Incentive Plan 2016-2020

During the first quarter of 2019, 218,841 performance share units (“PSUs”) and 34,420 retention restricted share units (“RSUs”) vested as the total shareholders’ return (“TSR”) and the service condition were achieved. As a result, a corresponding number of common shares, which were previously held in treasury, were assigned to participants of the plan. See Note 22 “Share-Based Compensation” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details relating to the equity incentive awards granted in prior periods.


Equity Incentive Plan 2019-2021

Under a new equity incentive plan approved in 2019, approximately 157,500 PSUs and 105,800 RSUs, which each represent the right to receive one Ferrari common share, were awarded to the Executive Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer, all members of the Senior Management Team (“SMT”) and other key members of the Group (“Equity Incentive Plan 2019-2021”). The PSUs and RSUs cover a three-year performance period from 2019 to 2021.
Performance Share Units (PSUs)

The vesting of the PSUs is based on the achievement of defined key performance indicators relating to: i) TSR ranking, ii) an EBITDA target, and iii) innovation targets, which will each be settled independently of the others targets. The total number of shares that will be assigned upon vesting of the PSUs will depend on the level of achievement of the targets. The PSUs vest in 2022, except for the PSUs awarded to the Chief Executive Officer which will vest in three tranches of 12 percent, 12 percent and 76 percent in 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively.
Of the total number of PSU awards, 50 percent vest based on the achievement of the TSR ranking of Ferrari compared to an industry specific peer group of nine, including the Company, (“New Peer Group”):

The defined New Peer Group is as follows:
Ferrari

Hermes

Of the total number of PSU awards, 30 percent vest based on the achievement of an EBITDA target determined by comparing Adjusted EBITDA to the Adjusted EBITDA targets derived from the business plan:

Of the total number of PSU awards, 20 percent vest based on the achievement of defined objectives for technological innovation and the development of the new model pipeline over the performance period.
The performance period for the PSUs commenced on January 1, 2019. The fair value of the awards used for accounting purposes was measured at the grant date using a Monte Carlo Simulation model. The range of the fair value of the PSUs that were awarded is €110.66-€111.81 per share. The key assumptions utilized to calculate the grant-date fair values for these awards are summarized below:
Key Assumptions
Grant date share price
€122.60
Expected volatility
26.50%
Dividend yield
0.83%
Risk-free rate
0%
The expected volatility was based on the observed volatility of the New Peer Group. The risk-free rate was based on the iBoxx sovereign Eurozone yield.
At March 31, 2019 none of the PSU awards were forfeited or vested.
Retention Restricted Share Units (RSUs)
The vesting of the RSUs is conditional on the recipients continued employment with the Company at the time of vesting. The RSUs vest in 2022, except for the RSUs awarded to the Chief Executive Officer which vest in three equal tranches in 2020, 2021 and 2022. The range of the fair value of the RSUs awarded is €119.54-€120.56 per share.
At March 31, 2019 none of the RSU awards were forfeited or vested.
Share-based compensation expense
Including awards granted in prior periods, total expense for the PSU and RSU awards for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 amounted to €4,657 thousand and €3,523 thousand, respectively. At March 31, 2019 unrecognized compensation expense amounted to approximately €28,797 thousand and will be recognized over the remaining performance period until 2021. The total number of PSU awards and RSU awards outstanding at March 31, 2019 under all equity incentive plans were approximately 614 thousand and 184 thousand, respectively.

Bonds

2023 Bond

On March 16, 2016, the Company issued 1.5 percent coupon notes due March 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 €490,729 thousand after the debt discount and issuance costs. The net proceeds were used, together with additional cash held by the Company, to fully repay a €500 million bank loan. The bond is unrated and was admitted to trading on the regulated market of the Irish Stock Exchange. The amount outstanding at March 31, 2019 of €494,900 thousand includes accrued interest of €313 thousand (€500,197 thousand including €5,938 thousand of accrued interest at December 31, 2018).

2021 Bond

On November 16, 2017, the Company issued 0.25 percent coupon notes due January 2021, having a principal of €700 million. The bond was issued at a discount for an issue price of 99.557 percent, resulting in net proceeds of €694,172 thousand after the debt discount and issuance costs. The net proceeds were primarily used to repay a €700 million bank loan. The bond is unrated and was admitted to trading on the regulated market of the Irish Stock Exchange. The amount outstanding at March 31, 2019 of €697,047 thousand includes accrued interest of €360 thousand (€697,912 thousand including €1,678 thousand of accrued interest at December 31, 2018).

Asset-backed financing (Securitizations)

As a means of diversifying its sources of funds, the Group sells certain of its receivables originated by the financial services activities in the US through asset-backed financing or securitization programs (the terms asset-backed financing and securitization programs are used synonymously throughout this document), without transferring the risks typically associated with such receivables. As a result, the receivables sold through securitization programs are still consolidated until collection from the customer. As of March 31, 2019, the following revolving securitization programs were in place:

revolving securitization program for funding of up to $500 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 65 basis points. As of March 31, 2019 total proceeds net of repayments from the sales of financial receivables under the program were $487 million ($424 million at December 31, 2018). The securitization agreement requires the maintenance of an interest rate cap.

revolving securitization program for funding of up to $250 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 65 basis points. As of March 31, 2019, total proceeds net of repayments from the sales of financial receivables under the program were $217 million ($223 million at December 31, 2018).The securitization agreement requires the maintenance of an interest rate cap.


F-21



revolving securitization program for funding of up to $135 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 115 basis points. As of March 31, 2019 total proceeds net of repayments from the sales of financial receivables under the program were $126 million ($134 million at December 31, 2018).

The funding limits of the revolving securitization programs have been progressively increased since inception as the related receivables portfolios have increased.

Cash collected from the settlement of receivables or credit lines pledged as collateral under securitization programs is subject to certain restrictions regarding its use and is primarily applied to repay principal and interest of the related funding. Such cash amounted to €33,804 thousand at March 31, 2019 (€26,497 thousand at December 31, 2018).

Lease liabilities

As a result of adopting IFRS 16 - Leases on January 1, 2019, the Group recognized right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities of €63,535 thousand in relation to leases which had previously been classified as operating leases under IAS 17. For further details please refer to Note 3 “New standards and amendments effective from January 1, 2019-IFRS - Leases”.

Borrowings from banks

Borrowings from banks at March 31, 2019 mainly relate to financial liabilities of FFS Inc to support financial services activities, and in particular (i) €31,276 thousand (€30,694 thousand at December 31, 2018) relating to a U.S. Dollar denominated credit facility for up to $50 million (drawn down for $35 million at March 31, 2019) and bearing interest at LIBOR plus a range of between 65 and 75 basis points; (ii) other borrowings from banks of €5,249 thousand (€5,290 thousand at December 31, 2018) relating to various short and medium term credit facilities.

Revolving credit facility

The Company has a revolving credit facility of €500 million (the “RCF”). At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 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. The RCF matures in November 2020.

25. TRADE PAYABLES
Trade payables of €646,652 thousand at March 31, 2019 (€653,751 thousand at December 31, 2018) are entirely due within one year. The carrying amount of trade payables is considered to be equivalent to their fair value.

26. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
IFRS 13 establishes a three level hierarchy for the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value by giving the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 inputs). In some cases, the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those cases, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy at the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

Levels used in the hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Group can access at the measurement date.

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the assets and liabilities.

Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis

The following table shows the fair value hierarchy for financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2019 and at December 31, 2018:

There were no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels for the periods presented.
The fair value of current financial assets and other financial liabilities relates to derivative financial instruments and is measured by taking into consideration market parameters at the balance sheet date, using valuation techniques widely accepted in the financial business environment. In particular, the fair value of foreign currency derivatives (forward contracts, currency swaps and options) and interest rate caps is determined by taking the prevailing foreign currency exchange rate and interest rates, as applicable, at the balance sheet date.
The par value of cash and cash equivalents usually approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments, which consist primarily of bank current accounts.

Assets and liabilities not measured at fair value on a recurring basis
For financial instruments represented by short-term receivables and payables, for which the present value of future cash flows does not differ significantly from carrying value, the Group assumes that carrying value is a reasonable approximation of the fair value. In particular, the carrying amount of current receivables and other current assets and of trade payables and other liabilities approximates their fair value.
The following table represents carrying amount and fair value for the most relevant categories of financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
